Description: This polemical and irreverent film examines how our fundamental rights are being systematically undermined in the current climate of fear. This comical documentary is a personal journey in the decline of civil liberties (with very strong language). It argues that civil liberties that have taken hundreds of years to build up are being eroded swiftly, and that a police state Britain is becoming a fact. Millions of CCTV cameras up and down the country undermine our right to privacy. A series of measures has made it more and more difficult to exercise freedom of speech and already led to the arrest of a large number of peaceful protesters. Director Chris Atkins has assembled footage to demonstrate how oppressive these new powers can be. The 82-year-old holocaust survivor was lifted bodily from a debate at the Labour Party conference for, as talking-head Tony Benn points out, , rightfully, saying that Jack Straw is talking , nonsense, about Iraq. We see a man who tries to protest against the treatment of this old man also set upon by security, and learn that he was later handled roughly , and that poor old Wolfgang was next detained by the police under the 2000 Terrorism Act.
