It's sickening.
Britain is supposed to have a political rule under a representative democracy. This means we select someone to represent our views and vote on our behalf during Parliament.
This is just like the war and the majority in favour of a 7/7 investigation - the British public are just tax paying cattle. We only find out what's going on through leaks to the media, such as the recent leak confirming Blair's policy has increased terrorism.
An MP is forced to vote the way the party whip instructs them to. It's a farce. No wonder nobody votes at the general election.

Put simply, no. We have an elected dictatorship, and no choice between political parties: Extreme right-wing Thatcherism gone even more mad (New Labour), Far right, just waiting to get back in power so they can carry on the same as before (Tories), and flip-floppers who won't take themselves seriously, so no-one else can either (Lib Dems). Our electoral system is almost as f*cked as America's - the majority of Brits chose not to vote last time, and so TB won with less than 1/3 of the country behind him (and most of that was probably down to dodgy postal voting fraud!). If only there was the option "none of the above" on the ballot paper!

I think that Blair and Bush are going to be charged with misleading the World over Iraq, it's not going away, even long after they have both left office.
Weapons of mass destruction ! 45mins. attacks ! etc.

Well - Blair has to go soon and this helps him on his way. He is no longer in control of his government or the country because he is increasingly irrelevant.

Congratulation to the old man who know how to squirm his way out.
little one,
Do you know after the fall of Afghanistan and Iraq the war was over.
Do you know something extra ordinary happened out there?
What went wrong out there got everyone at loss and blurr and know one has any answers to it.
That was the mystery of US-911.
By kicking the dirty old man on the butts does not help in solving the problems when he too were just like you and me at loss and blurr on what went wrong out there.
Surprising he managed to squirm his way out of it.
Everyone thoght they got him nail to the cross .
But slid away like an old snake going into the bushes.
Good work old man.
