I’m sure this category will make me popular.
Sounds like the great satan has more death planned, in the ‘recently signed off by Bush’ war on Iran.
As you’d guess we, the British tax payers, will be directly implicated in this. Blood on our hands and all that. Sounds like the big oil sponsored fun run begins in June. Is this why Tony Blair is trying to get the general election out of the way in May?
Sign the petition, dontate some money. None of it will help but we’ll feel good trying.
Our beloved government are planning new measures to combat terrorism. These new measures break Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to a fair trial. These measures of course apply to everyone in the UK, not just terrorist suspects. They include a “whole range” of measures they call control orders. Control orders could include house arrest, electronic tagging, denied access to communications (phone, Internet etc.) and denial of association with unspecified people. All of this without having to present any actual evidence to a court.

obviously an old and often reused quote, but I’d like to publish it here:
“…it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. … All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.” – Hermann Goering, founder of the Gestapo and one of the main architects of Nazi Germany.
Our governments have just replaced the threat from communists with the threat from terrorists. They only needed to change six letters and already here I am exposing the country to danger.
