News today revealed that Tom Cruise is to be band from filming on German army bases on the grounds that he is scientologist. Once again, although in Germany this seems fairly typical of Western law that is simply over zealous in how far it is prepared to go in monitoring in policing our behaviour.
Liberals have a important role in not just making sure that policing and law and order is carried out but we need to also give a long hard look at the laws themselves. The popular assumption that if it is against the law then it must be bad is simply not true.
The Lib Dem Freedom Bill campaign, which repeal some major laws is a step in the right direction.
