What happened Mr Brown?

There's a fantastic piece in this morning's Telegraph:

"Setting out his new compact between the private citizen and the public realm last October, he urged constitutional reform enshrining "privacy in the home" and "new rights against arbitrary intrusion". British liberty was, he said, our "gift to the world". Alas, Speaker Martin and the constabulary appeared not to have read this oration, or the Magna Carta, or Milton, whose line from Paradise Lost - "If not equal all, then all equally free" - inspired Mr Brown. "
