We have entered an age where an individual's human rights outweigh the needs of society as a whole. Even those who are in the midst of an act specifically designed to curtail another life or the quality of another life can scream for the protection of the law and for their human rights. Should we not rename human rights as human privileges? People could have these privileges if they adhered to their human responsibilities - not mugging, killing, raping, stealing - no responsibilities, no rights!

Another whopper! We need to balance our civil liberties against security considerations. Lets tell the politicians to balance their civil liberties. Oh I forgot they are above the law. They make fraudulent expense claims and do not get prosecuted. They get a prison sentence (Lord Ahmed) and don't have to serve it in full. Who is supervising the so called supervisors? The best way to control your kids are to invent boogey men to keep them under obedience. The new boogey man is the terrorist!

I find it extremely offensive, slighltly ignorant and unexceptably naive for an adult to argue that an identity card has any equality to having a number tatooed into your arm in a death camp. Please do not use The Holocaust as a media stunt- grow up! There are no elements of suppression, torture and mass murder. Please consider your words.

I was absolutely astounded to note that not one member of the Panel, or the audience for that matter, thought it appropriate to point out to the student member that comparing ID cards to Auschwitz was a wholly offensive, inappropriate and ignorant remark. There is no cause to put encroachment on civil liberties, however serious, on a par with genocide. She should have been reprimanded for her comments and sent to take her history GCSEs again.

Did Andy Burnham just say "freedom is not absolute"? Am I the only one who sees the HUGE problem with this?
