BREAKING NEWS 突发新闻

Saturday, June 7th, 2008 周六， 2008年6月7日

By通过 Cath Elliott 猫埃利奥特 | It seems incredible now, but on the May 3 1997 I actually celebrated Labour’s election victory. |似乎令人难以置信，现在，但在1997年5月3日我其实是庆祝劳工的选举胜利。 After 18 years of a Conservative government that had cosied up to dictators and 18年后的一个保守的政府，已cosied最多的独裁者和 murderous regimes 杀人制度 around the globe; that had overseen the destruction of the country’s manufacturing and mining industries; that had driven 3 million people out of work and on to the dole, and that had seen the affable全球各地;了监督销毁该国的制造业和采矿业;带动了300多万人失去工作和对向多尔，并看到了和蔼可亲 Dixon of Dock Green 狄克逊的船坞绿色 transformed into a brutal and vicious转化为残酷的和恶毒的 agent of the state 国家代理人 , I, like many other people at the time, truly believed that with New Labour in power, things could only get better. ，我，像其他许多人在时间，真正相信随着新的劳工在电力，事情只可以得到更好的。

A few days later, when Robin Cook delivered his几天后，当罗宾库克发表了他的 speech 讲话 outlining the new administration’s commitment to an ethical foreign policy, I relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, and watched with joy as the old guard retreated, licking their wounds after such a thorough and well-deserved trouncing.概述了新政府的承诺，一个道德的外交政策，我放松，呼吸松了一口气，并观看了与喜悦，作为老卫士退，舔他们的伤口经过这么彻底和，以及当之无愧的trouncing 。

In that speech, Cook said:在这一讲话中，库克说：

The Labour government does not accept that political values can be left behind when we check in our passports to travel on diplomatic business.工党政府不接受的政治价值观，可遗留下来的，当我们检查我们的护照，旅行，外交业务。 Our foreign policy must have an ethical dimension and must support the demands of other peoples for the democratic rights on which we insist for ourselves.我们的外交政策必须有一个道德层面和必须支持的要求，为其他国家人民的民主权利上，我们坚持为自己。 The Labour government will put human rights at the heart of our foreign policy.工党政府将提出人权的心脏，我们的外交政策。

So how exactly did we get from that, to this Orwellian因此，如何准确，我们没有得到，这奥威尔 Newspeak newspeak from自 Gordon Brown this week 财政大臣布朗在本星期 : ：

The challenge for every government is to respond to the changing demands of national security, while upholding something that is at the heart of the British constitutional settlement: the preservation of civil liberties.所面对的挑战，每一个政府是回应不断变化的需求国家安全，而坚持的东西，这是心脏，英国宪法解决：维护公民自由权。 And if the national interest requires new measures to safeguard our security, it is, in my view, the British way to make those changes in a manner that maximises the protection of individuals against arbitrary treatment.如果国家利益需要新的措施，以保障我们的安全，这是在我看来，英国的方法，使这些变化在方式尽量保护个人不受任意对待。

Or to paraphrase slightly: “In order to preserve civil liberties, we need to sacrifice civil liberties.”或以段略说： “为了维护公民自由，我们必须牺牲公民自由” 。

In cahoots with an equally distasteful American regime, the New Labour government has masterminded and overseen an erosion to individual freedoms and liberties that both Thatcher and Reagan, even in the darkest days of their rule, could only have dreamed of.在cahoots与一个同样distasteful美国的制度，新的工党政府已策划及监督一侵蚀个人自由和自由的，无论撒切尔和里根，即使在最黑暗的日子里他们的统治，只能是梦想。 Not content with removing all ethics from our foreign policy, they are doing their damnedest to make sure that before we know it, civil liberties and human rights at home will soon be nothing more than a distant memory.没有内容与清除所有的伦理，从我们的外交政策，他们正在做他们的damnedest ，以确保之前，我们知道，公民自由和人权在家里将很快只不过是一个遥远的记忆。 ID cards, “Sus” laws,身份证， “技能提升计划”的法律， 42-days detention 42天拘留 , ， extraordinary rendition 不平凡的移交逃犯 , ， waterboarding waterboarding , ， torture 酷刑 , juryless trials, ， juryless审判， secret prison ships 秘密监狱船 , a hidden network of “black sites” where suspects are interrogated and who-knows-what-else away from prying eyes and ears: these are all the stuff of fiction, of spy novels and sci-fi. ，一个隐藏的网络“黑点” ，而嫌疑人审讯和谁不知什么，否则远离杠杆的眼睛和耳朵：这些都是东西小说，间谍小说和科幻。 They’re the stuff of nightmares, the grimmest of fairy tales brought to life, with our government firmly in the role of bogeyman.他们是东西的恶梦， grimmest童话所带来的生命，与我们的政府坚决中的作用bogeyman 。

When the left marched in the 1980s against当左游行，在20世纪80年代反对 Pinochet 皮诺切特 , and when we stood in solidarity with the mothers and sisters of the disappeared, little did we know that our government would one day be capable of the ，当我们站在在团结与母亲和姊妹的消失，没想到，我们知道我们的政府会一天能的 same 相同的 ; that 20 years down the line the British and the Americans would be snatching people away in the dead of night, ; 20多年的下降线，英国和美国人将抢掠人们远离在死者的夜晚， surveilling their own citizens around the clock 监视本国公民约24小时 , and intercepting both their phone calls and their correspondence. ，和拦截他们的电话和他们的信件。 Little did we know that the没想到，我们知道，该 excesses of which we accused the old Soviet regime 过度的，我们被告旧苏维埃政权 would soon be employed against us.不久将聘请对我们。

When the iron curtain fell we looked on in fascination as the Stasi and the KGB opened up their files to public scrutiny, stunned that states would keep such meticulous records on their own people.当铁幕下跌我们期待就在魅力，作为斯塔兹和克格勃打开了他们的档案，以公众的监察，震惊各国将保持这种细致的记录，对他们自己的人民。 We’re now trying to work out how big a vault will be needed when the government gets its way and starts我们正在试图找出如何在大金库，将需要时，政府获得其方式和开始 logging our every key stroke 记录我们的每一个关键中风 , collecting details about every second we spend on the internet. ，收集详细资料，大约每第二，我们花费在互联网上。 We’re left wondering how many years it will be before these secret records are opened up for scrutiny, if indeed they ever are.我们正在左想知道如何多年，它会之前，这些秘密记录，开辟了审议，如果确实他们以往任何时候都要多。 Perhaps the so-called war on terror will never end, and we’ve finally arrived at Orwell’s perpetual war.或许，那些所谓的反恐战争将永远不会结束了，而我们也终于抵达奥维尔的永恒的战争。

For 18 long years I campaigned to help get a Labour government back into power, but I never signed up for any of this; the loss of our civil liberties was never a part of the game plan. 18多年来，我长的竞选，以帮助获得工党政府回到权力，但我从来没有签署任何本;失去我们的公民自由是从来没有的一部分，游戏计划。 And if Brown’s now wondering why his ratings are so low, why his party’s nearly bankrupt and his defeat at the next election is all but assured, then he needs to think carefully about those of us who have been sold so short by 11 years of New Labour mismanagement.如果布朗的，现在不知道为什么他的收视率这么低，为什么他的党的接近破产，他败在下次选举是所有，但保证的话，他需要仔细考虑我们这些谁已售出在这么短的，由11年的新的劳动管理不善。 He needs to think about those who helped this government into power, and who can now only look on in horror as slowly but surely, brick by brick, they dismantle everything we hold precious.他需要想想那些谁帮助这个政府的权力，以及谁可以现在只看就在恐怖缓慢而稳步地，砖，他们拆除一切我们认为，珍贵的。

Liam Byrne can wax lyrical about Britishness all he likes; his government lost sight of what that means many years ago.利亚姆伯恩可以蜡抒情关于英国化，所有他喜欢，他的政府忽略了什么，这也就意味着很多年前。 Whether it happens on St George’s Day or on the是否发生在圣佐治的天或其上的 August bank holiday 八月银行假日 , when they finally start enforcing their mass celebrations and dictating to the populace how best to commemorate our illusory freedom, I’ll be staying inside my house with my doors and windows firmly locked and I’d advise everyone else to do the same.当他们终于开始执行其大规模的庆祝活动和支配，以民众如何最好地纪念我们的虚幻的自由，我将在下榻的内我的房子与我的门窗紧紧锁住，我要提醒其他人也这样做。 As同样地 Alan Paton said 梁家杰说， paton : ：

Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear.哭，心爱的国家，为未出生的孩子，这是继承我们的恐惧。 Let him not love the earth too deeply.让他不爱地球太深。 Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire.让他没有笑太乐意当水贯穿了他的手指，也没有立场过于沉默，当斜阳，使红veld玩火。 Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley.让他不要太动议时，鸟类他的土地是唱歌，也不给予太多，他的心，以山区或山谷。 For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.因为害怕会抢他的所有，如果他给太多。
