New Labour. New Democracy.

Mr Prescott, who is currently standing in for Tony Blair, said his message to Bakri Mohammed was: "Enjoy your holiday - make it a long one."

He added: "At the moment he has the right to come in and out. That is the circumstances at present and we have to change situations in this country by law.

"It's a democracy, not a dictatorship, for God's sake."

He missed out "yet". Remember that this is New Labour Democracy(tm).

The kind of democratic government that:

• Prohibits peaceful protest outside Parliament.
• Has used Anti-Terrorism Laws to prevent citizens making lawful protests.
• Holds prisoners indefinitely without trial, charges or explanation.
• Aspires to restrict trial by jury (twice).
• Wishes to spy on all of its citizens internet activity and phone calls.
• Wants to add satellite tracking devices to all of our cars.
• Wants to enforce compulsory ID cards.
  

I bet you're glad you don't live in a dictatorship, eh?
