It seems that the British way of life is being eroded at every turn. But despite what we're led to believe, it's not being attacked by an increase in immigration, or a glut of asylum seekers. No, our adversary is a distinctly un-British addiction to over-work and over-consumption and the meaningless toil that has begun to interfere with our daily lives. Add to that a climate of terror that has endangered any rational enquiry and you can't help but begin to wonder what's happened to our great British democracy?
In an attempt to raise our flagging spirits - and to find out exactly what's going wrong in 21st century Britain - Dan Kieran enlisted the help of an unlikely band of eccentrics who are fighting back. As Dan explains why the path to Britain's future prosperity involves you quitting your job and spending much more time down the pub, follow his adventures as he...
- Joins a group of protestors - five of whom were arrested for eating cakes in Parliament Square - to discover how New Labour have been taking liberties with our liberties.
- Spends an afternoon on the roof of a bus station in Derby with an unlikely protestor called Dorothy.
- Encounters the pensioners who let off stink bombs in court in order to force an extension to a public enquiry - and won their case.
- Meets a man who dresses like Chaplin's tramp and keeps getting arrested outside Downing Street - because we no longer have the right to remain silent either.
- Finds King Arthur alive and well and up a tree - thrashing at the police with his sword!
- Reveals why a flat pack chest of drawers from one well-known store is more likely to kill you than a suicide bomber ...and - in this so-called ASBO nation of ours...
- why one woman got an ASBO for being naked in her own home and a Tourettes sufferer was given an ASBO for swearing.
So, whether it's fighting to protect our environment, our freedom, or the right to live in an unconventional way, 'I Fought The Law' is a celebration of the British spirit, and a call to arms for all those for whom enough is enough!
