Power and the danger it brings

Under the heading of national security the right wing Conservatives are hot foot, mounting an orchestrated onslaught against the Guardian Newspaper.
In a debate held in Westminster Hall, an adjunct of the main debating chamber,the Tory's had obtained time to debate the matter of the the release of information to the Guardian by David Miranda and Glen Greewald, journalists living in South America.  Greewalds partner had been held for a number of hours at Heathrow Airport at the behest of the security services in line with the American attempt to hold  Edward Snowden, another whistle blower with sensitive information who eventually fled to Russia.
I have rarely seen such misuse of  parliamentary procedure in that, normally debate is held under the rules of debate whereby the right of questioning the debater is nearly always given, the only constraint is usually time when the person standing , giving the debate wishes to proceed with the points he is trying to put across and refuses to be interrupted.
In this particular debate the Tory members were scathing in their complaint against the Guardian Newspaper but their blatant refusal to allow the Labour members to stand and offer alternative views was a sad, unhealthy sight. The debate was ruled by the rules of debate but the concept of "Parliamentary Democracy", where all views are heard, was totally disregarded. Each Tory member was allowed to stand and have their say, each New Labour member was told to keep quiet !! I found this one of the most distasteful meetings I have ever witnessed in the Houses of Parliament and would hope that it is not a preview of things to come.
There is a strong danger that open debate in society at large on such issues as Race, Religion, Sexuality, and now Security matters becomes very difficult as powerful elements in society seek to blanket comment and discussion.
The fearful condition of our Economy, not withstanding the good news stories released about recent marginal growth, has given Parliament the opportunity to enact draconian measures including the fire sale of the Post Office at a share valuation which enable massive profit for the City investor. The privatisation of the National Health, handing the Medical Practitioners  the potential to push prescriptive dugs onto the patient whilst the same Practitioner (now running a business) is enabled to trade with the suppliers of the drug. The danger that such a position of power brings is obvious.
The judgement that the ordinary man and women in society shall be the main conduit for finding firstly the funds to prop up the failing banks with taxpayers money and now to reign down on the heads of the poorest members of society with such as the bed-room tax is a trend that makes me very sad indeed.
