Would I trust my liberties to the Campbells and Blairs and Mandelsons and Smiths whose mixture of naivety and dissembling is mind-boggling? No, not for a minute. We are the most overheard, overidden, photographed, recorded, detained and watched nation in Europe - and ironically, the most ignored by its Government. I am increasingly minded to get involved in peaceful civil disobedience, and exerting online pressure until the Westminster bubble finally bursts. Old as we are, there are many sixty-somethings who simply won't pay higher council taxes because we DON'T have the money. In the end, the buggers can't put everyone in jail...thanks to falling crime rates, there isn't any room.

I am increasingly minded to get involved in peaceful civil disobedience, and exerting online pressure until the Westminster bubble finally bursts. Old as we are, there are many sixty-somethings who simply won’t pay higher council taxes because we DON’T have the money.

You can see the motion text at http://www.no2id.net/resources/motions/ For all the party's opposition to the Database State and National Identity Scheme in Westminster, I don't see a lot of local parties actually doing anything about it...

On the local groups front, No2ID have some active local chapters or you could start one. A lightly-advertised inaugural meeting in Oxford drew a huge number of people, and has been going strong since. Liberty also recently set up a local university student society - something other unis may like to start. Also one other thought for Lib Dem activists: why not have a local Focus-style leaflet about civil liberties issues (featuring Labour's wrongs and Lib Dem solutions) to hand out at civil liberties events in your area? I'm sure a lot of people who are concerned about these issues would be natural recruits as members or activists themselves, if someone highlights our stance and asks them to help sell it.
