Nick Clegg: “A liberal approach to freedom, a British approach to freedom”
January 7, 2011 5:42 PM
• [Jan 07] Lib Dem Voice writes: NICK Clegg today set out the principles which will drive the Coalition's plans to uphold civil liberties while protecting national security, and outlined reforms to Freedom of Information laws and English libel laws. here's the conclusion:
' . . So, to sum up: the restoration of every day liberties; counterterrorism measures that uphold liberty while protecting security; free citizens able to see into, and speak out about, the organisations that affect their lives. It is a liberal approach to freedom; a British approach to freedom. It forms an important part of our programme to rebalance the relationship between the state and its citizens. Our Labour predecessors will be remembered as the government who took your freedoms away. We want to be remembered as the ones who gave them back.'
