So of course, living in a democracy Tony Blair will take on board this concern and give the matter some serious thought…
…sorry, drifted off into a fantasy world for a second, Tony Blair will as usual ridicule the stupid public for even harbouring such crazy notions, and will be making sure such freedom of thought is cracked down on in new legislation. The new legislation is going to make it an offence to have any thoughts that contradict with the beliefs of Tony and his loyal cronies. Anyone daring to write down such thoughts could face deportation - as terrorist sympathisers.
On a more serious note, I despise the lack of accountability that the government has in this country, how New Labour can simply deny any link between terrorism against the UK, and their terrorist foreign policy. This just demonstrates how little influence the electorate have over the elected. The ultimate irony is that the current war in Iraq is being justified as a war to spread democracy and freedom, yet democracy does not exist in either the UK or the US, it is simply a fraud.
American ‘democracy’ requires $115 million to run for presidency - so just reserved for the elite then. Whereas in the UK, we have 2 real choices of whom we want to take executive control of an unnacountable and unchanging system - both choices being as bad as the other. As proved in Iraq, and in countless acts since election, once a party has power they can pursue any policy they like, without any way of being held to account for it.
All this is made easier by politics being one of the few professions in which systematic lying is not only expected, but actually a desired trait. Remember, each time Tony Blair denies any link between the London bombings and Britains continuation of a terrorist foreign policy in the Middle East, he is lying. He knows as well as we do why 56 people died in London, but he does not have to confront the truth, that is left to the powerless.
