Your hard-won freedoms

From Vowles the Green, a link to a petition to #10, to suspend regional housing targets determined through the Regional Spatial Strategy, that will eventually receive a patronising token response, and then be totally ignored.

From Craig Murray, an indication of the respect with which the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights treats communications from the general public.

Oh, but I forgot, you don't want to know about this: don't want to have to think about irrelevant abstractions with no impact on your life, like freedom, democracy, government accountability and so on. Just carry on, then, carry on. As for us, we still have the tail end of Red Nose Day to watch on the Tivo: I'm sure the BBC will have sneaked in a showing of the Gaza Appeal video in there somewhere.

They were talking about the BNP on "Today" this morning. Some think they really might have a chance to breakthrough in European elections, because "they are the only party trying to engage with the lower middle classes" and the others don't even canvass.

Just think what a BNP Government could do with current legislation, eh?

(And then people say: "You need a positive attitude, Guy...")
