Here we go again...

Email in from NO2ID. The latest assault on civil liberties comes from the truly outrageous attempt to insert "Information Sharing Orders" into the Coroners & Justice Bill. These Orders would permit ministers to alter any act of Parliament by decree in order to allow any information about you to be used anywhere they liked.

I do sometimes wonder if this is going to turn violent.

In the meantime, get writing. Here's what you need to do:

In your own words, please ask your MP to read Part 8 (clauses 151 -
154) of the Coroners and Justice Bill, and to oppose the massive enabling powers in the "Information sharing" clause. The Bill is due its Second Reading in the Commons on 26th January 2009.

Request them to demand the clause be given proper Parliamentary scrutiny. This is something that will affect every single one of their constituents, unlike the rest of the Bill. There is a grave danger that the government will set a timetable that will cut off debate before these proposals - which are at the end of the Bill - are discussed.

http://www.WriteToThem.com is the tool you will need.
