White Rose is a protest blog collective focusing on civil liberties in the UK.
It was set up to point a finger at the erosion of personal freedom in the UK.
Government's active measures introduce new means of control such as identity cards and surveillance cameras, the passive measures such as weakening of double jeopardy and presumption of innocence.
The arguments
- Most measures regarding security and crime control do not work.
- Their effect is restriction of 'honest citizen's' privacy and freedom.
- Alternative solutions to the security and privacy 'trade-off'
The resistants
Gabriel Syme and Perry de Havilland of Samizdata.net to rally the Anglosphere behind the UK.
White Rose contributors are those bloggers and non-bloggers who oppose restrictions on personal liberties.

The NO2ID Coalition, who are trying to make sure Blunkett fails in his attempts to introduce mandatory ID cards, argue that:
Came across your blog while doing some political research and just wanted to commend you on the work you're doing... It's heartening to see that people really do care about the frightening things that are going on right under our noses.
I thought you'd like to check out this site:

It's an internet-only talk station that also tries to get the real scoop out there. And, since it's internet-only, there is the added luxury of no FCC regulation. That means total freedom of speech. I'd love it if you would give it a listen and let me know what you think.
