BREAKING NEWS 突發新聞

Saturday, June 7th, 2008 週六， 2008年6月7日

By通過 Cath Elliott 貓埃利奧特 | It seems incredible now, but on the May 3 1997 I actually celebrated Labour’s election victory. |似乎令人難以置信，現在，但在1997年5月3日我其實是慶祝勞工的選舉勝利。 After 18 years of a Conservative government that had cosied up to dictators and 18年後的一個保守的政府，已cosied最多的獨裁者和 murderous regimes 殺人制度 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;了監督銷毀該國的製造業和採礦業;帶動了300多萬人失去工作和對向多爾，並看到了和藹可親 Dixon of Dock Green 狄克遜的船塢綠色 transformed into a brutal and vicious轉化為殘酷的和惡毒的 agent of the state 國家代理人 , I, like many other people at the time, truly believed that with New Labour in power, things could only get better. ，我，像其他許多人在時間，真正相信隨著新的勞工在電力，事情只可以得到更好的。

A few days later, when Robin Cook delivered his幾天後，當羅賓庫克發表了他的 speech 講話 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.概述了新政府的承諾，一個道德的外交政策，我放鬆，呼吸鬆了一口氣，並觀看了與喜悅，作為老衛士退，舔他們的傷口經過這麼徹底和，以及當之無愧的trouncing 。

In that speech, Cook said:在這一講話中，庫克說：

The Labour government does not accept that political values can be left behind when we check in our passports to travel on diplomatic business.工黨政府不接受的政治價值觀，可遺留下來的，當我們檢查我們的護照，旅行，外交業務。 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.我們的外交政策必須有一個道德層面和必須支持的要求，為其他國家人民的民主權利上，我們堅持為自己。 The Labour government will put human rights at the heart of our foreign policy.工黨政府將提出人權的心臟，我們的外交政策。

So how exactly did we get from that, to this Orwellian因此，如何準確，我們沒有得到，這奧威爾 Newspeak newspeak from自 Gordon Brown this week 財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.所面對的挑戰，每一個政府是回應不斷變化的需求國家安全，而堅持的東西，這是心臟，英國憲法解決：維護公民自由權。 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.如果國家利益需要新的措施，以保障我們的安全，這是在我看來，英國的方法，使這些變化在方式盡量保護個人不受任意對待。

Or to paraphrase slightly: “In order to preserve civil liberties, we need to sacrifice civil liberties.”或以段略說： “為了維護公民自由，我們必須犧牲公民自由” 。

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與一個同樣distasteful美國的制度，新的工黨政府已策劃及監督一侵蝕個人自由和自由的，無論撒切爾和裡根，即使在最黑暗的日子裡他們的統治，只能是夢想。 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.沒有內容與清除所有的倫理，從我們的外交政策，他們正在做他們的damnedest ，以確保之前，我們知道，公民自由和人權在家裡將很快只不過是一個遙遠的記憶。 ID cards, “Sus” laws,身份證， “技能提升計劃”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審判， secret prison ships 秘密監獄船 , 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. ，一個隱藏的網絡“黑點” ，而嫌疑人審訊和誰不知什麼，否則遠離槓桿的眼睛和耳朵：這些都是東西小說，間諜小說和科幻。 They’re the stuff of nightmares, the grimmest of fairy tales brought to life, with our government firmly in the role of bogeyman.他們是東西的惡夢， grimmest童話所帶來的生命，與我們的政府堅決中的作用bogeyman 。

When the left marched in the 1980s against當左遊行，在20世紀80年代反對 Pinochet 皮諾切特 , 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 ，當我們站在在團結與母親和姊妹的消失，沒想到，我們知道我們的政府會一天能的 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多年的下降線，英國和美國人將搶掠人們遠離在死者的夜晚， surveilling their own citizens around the clock 監視本國公民約24小時 , and intercepting both their phone calls and their correspondence. ，和攔截他們的電話和他們的信件。 Little did we know that the沒想到，我們知道，該 excesses of which we accused the old Soviet regime 過度的，我們被告舊蘇維埃政權 would soon be employed against us.不久將聘請對我們。

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.當鐵幕下跌我們期待就在魅力，作為斯塔茲和克格勃打開了他們的檔案，以公眾的監察，震驚各國將保持這種細緻的記錄，對他們自己的人民。 We’re now trying to work out how big a vault will be needed when the government gets its way and starts我們正在試圖找出如何在大金庫，將需要時，政府獲得其方式和開始 logging our every key stroke 記錄我們的每一個關鍵中風 , collecting details about every second we spend on the internet. ，收集詳細資料，大約每第二，我們花費在互聯網上。 We’re left wondering how many years it will be before these secret records are opened up for scrutiny, if indeed they ever are.我們正在左想知道如何多年，它會之前，這些秘密記錄，開闢了審議，如果確實他們以往任何時候都要多。 Perhaps the so-called war on terror will never end, and we’ve finally arrived at Orwell’s perpetual war.或許，那些所謂的反恐戰爭將永遠不會結束了，而我們也終於抵達奧維爾的永恆的戰爭。

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多年來，我長的競選，以幫助獲得工黨政府回到權力，但我從來沒有簽署任何本;失去我們的公民自由是從來沒有的一部分，遊戲計劃。 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，現在不知道為什麼他的收視率這麼低，為什麼他的黨的接近破產，他敗在下次選舉是所有，但保證的話，他需要仔細考慮我們這些誰已售出在這麼短的，由11年的新的勞動管理不善。 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.他需要想想那些誰幫助這個政府的權力，以及誰可以現在只看就在恐怖緩慢而穩步地，磚，他們拆除一切我們認為，珍貴的。

Liam Byrne can wax lyrical about Britishness all he likes; his government lost sight of what that means many years ago.利亞姆伯恩可以蠟抒情關於英國化，所有他喜歡，他的政府忽略了什麼，這也就意味著很多年前。 Whether it happens on St George’s Day or on the是否發生在聖佐治的天或其上的 August bank holiday 八月銀行假日 , 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.當他們終於開始執行其大規模的慶祝活動和支配，以民眾如何最好地紀念我們的虛幻的自由，我將在下榻的內我的房子與我的門窗緊緊鎖住，我要提醒其他人也這樣做。 As同樣地 Alan Paton said 梁家傑說， paton : ：

Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear.哭，心愛的國家，為未出生的孩子，這是繼承我們的恐懼。 Let him not love the earth too deeply.讓他不愛地球太深。 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.讓他沒有笑太樂意當水貫穿了他的手指，也沒有立場過於沉默，當斜陽，使紅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.讓他不要太動議時，鳥類他的土地是唱歌，也不給予太多，他的心，以山區或山谷。 For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.因為害怕會搶他的所有，如果他給太多。
