Gordon Brown’s government is the crappiest in living memory. It’s worse even than Tony Blair’s government; and that is saying something! The damn lot that make up Gordon’s government should hang their heads in shame. Clearly, to these unprincipled people, the bottom line means everything. Justice counts for nothing; profits count for everything. In behaving as they have done, they have brought the good name and reputation of the United Kingdom into disrepute, they have damaged our special relationship with the United States, and they have given capitalism a bad name.
This government’s deeds are enough to make any normal Brit feel ashamed of his nationality.
Were this to be the USA, we Brits would be out on the streets in our droves, as was witnessed by the mass demonstrations in DC at the weekend, demonstrating against Obama and his agenda. But, being British, we just let it all go over our heads. It’s all like water off a duck’s back. The Britons’ weakness is our extreme tolerance. We keep on tolerating the intolerable! – © Mark
THE TELEGRAPH: Police officers have accused the Government of being willing "to sell its soul for trade deals" following the disclosure that Jack Straw agreed that the killer of Pc Yvonne Fletcher would not be brought to justice in Britain.
In a letter to Gordon Brown, Paul McKeever, the chairman of the Police Federation, said he was ''shocked, appalled and disgusted'' that the UK agreed the murderer would go on trial in Libya.
The Foreign Office has conceded that any trial for the shooting - which took place outside the Libyan embassy in London 25 years ago - will take place in Tripoli.
The agreement was reportedly struck three years ago, when trade deals worth hundreds of millions of pounds were being negotiated.
Mr McKeever wrote: ''Together with the 140,000 police officers throughout England and Wales that the Police Federation represents, I was shocked, appalled and disgusted" at the news of the agreement.
''This is an absolute disgrace. Pc Fletcher was gunned down in cold blood 25 years ago by a cowardly and callous killer who managed to flee to Libya.
''Now we discover your government rolled over three years ago, abandoning any attempt to bring Yvonne's killer to face the UK courts and justice. >>> | Monday, September 14, 2009
