Today the UK's Conservative (tory) government has announced that it will be introducing a "Freedom Bill" in Novembers Queen's Speech. The main policy of this bill appears to be the banning of clamping of cars illegally parked on private property. As I'm sure you'll agree that issue is one of the cornerstones of a free society right up there with the freedom to vote, the freedom to enjoy a private life and the freedom to live without being tortured(!)
In fact the announcement is so ridiculous that along with the announcement that speed cameras are to be abolished you're sure there must be some hidden subtext. There's not. Believe it or not speed cameras and parking regulations are key motivational issues for core Conservative party voters. Therefore the announcements are just an attempt to assure those key supporters that the Conservative government are making an important and valuable contribution to life in Britain. By allowing the LibDem division of the Conservative government to make today's announcement they're trying to shore up their commitment to liberal policies.
