Governments are supposed to servethe public , NOT International meglomaniacal corporations . They really are insane and so are Governments for going along with it. How can it be possible that these scumbags can insist on secrecy , when we all know its because if they can do it on the quiet , it'll cost less for them and of course easier if there are no objections from the public.
It's quite simple ,ANY laws passed in the uk should be open to full debate . If they dont like the idea of that then dump any proceedings , as anything less would be UNDEMOCRATIC..
Unfortunately we all know in the UK as elsewhere , any politician involved in the process would have been entirely bought and paid for by the lawyers now running the media industry .
Where's the Freedom of Information act? and they (Govt) cant cite terrorism as the reason why we cant know. Our democracy is being trampled flat by these scum and our governments are screwing every one of us for them.....
What a big pile of sh*t.

They are not all bad. I once thought as you. I am very glad to have befriended my brother in law. He is an ex marine and a cop. And a great guy.
