Deutsch for New Labour. Short of sticking six million Jews on gas mark six for ten minutes, this political elite's agenda is staggeringly similar to the NSDAP. You just wait and see me ol' mucker!

Also shows great similarities with George Orwell's vision of 1984. Disturbingly ironic and blackly amusing since it was Labour who accused the Conservative Party government in 1984 of turning the country into a police state.

Current or upcoming New Labour policies: (feel free to add)

Checking children's lunch boxes for nutrition and writing threatening letters to parents who don't feed their children to an 'acceptable' standard.
Taxation level considerably in excess of what the medieval slave/peasant had to pay (and he didn't have stealth taxes to worry about!)
Weighing children to ensure they are the correct weight.
ID cards for all, which we have to pay for - bit like the Chinese government shooting someone then charging the family for the bullet.
Satellite-monitoring of every car in the country.
Central databases to track every interaction with the state.
Shoot to kill acceptable because of 'terrorism'.
Fingerprinting for the most minor misdemeanor.
Taking a DNA sample from every 'arrest' at a police station even if they have to 'arrest' then 'unarrest' the victim.
Establishment of a DNA database for all newborn (Operation Herod).
The striking off of NHS patients who refuse permission for their GP to enter medical records on a national database. (the No2id campaign looks to have stopped this one ... for the moment. Opt out will be available)
Drug testing children at school.
Proposals to palm print children at school for ID purposes. Allegedly so as not to stigmatize those getting free meals ... and get their dabs at the same time.
Latest (nothing to do with control of the plebes honest) plan is to psychometric test everyone applying for a driving license. This is supposed to weed out the road rage nutters but is more likely just getting more information for the Projekt1984 databases.
Rather than spending the money they extort out of us from the Road Tax on the roads, allow everyone to drive on the hard shoulder. Is it just me or isn't the hard shoulder there for emergencies and breakdowns?
The introduction of Children's Courts, where disruptive and generally feral kids can go to be sentenced... wait for it... by child judges! [Who thinks this shyte up?]
Police harassment of anyone deemed to be 'anti-social' although the definition of anti-social seems to be a bit vague!
Identification of a 'racist' family life when "A child reacts negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying, 'Yuck!" Article here
