Since the great lie by Bliar which led the docile UK to war with Iraq, British Government has been discredited. Subsequent crimes like rendition and torture are part of the Mafia style, inherited from the US. But it is one thing to discover that, the UK has a bent Government and Parliament--it is quite another to DO something about it. Surely the Home Secretary should be lobbied to indict all those who facilitated the torture of British citizens? There appears to be a definite and immediate need for an Independent Legislature in the light of this New Elizabethan cloak and dagger political protocol.

Democracy and free speech isn't working. The West has proved (unfortunately) their hypocracy when it comes to basics of democracy. Idea turns out was created to topple the soviets. Now soviets are no longer there they have gone back to their initial faces. Money, Power, Money corrupt people. Surely, western democracy has reached it's peak in corruption.
