That's how long he's been working the local fun-fair House of mirrors attraction.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tony Blair said on Wednesday it would be "deeply irresponsible" to set an arbitrary deadline for pulling British forces out of Iraq.
Britain has some 7,100 troops in southern Iraq. Blair, undermined politically by his support for the U.S.-led war in Iraq, is under increasing pressure to name the date soldiers can start to come home before he steps down later this year.
But responding to a proposal by the Liberal Democrat party to bring troops home by October, Blair said this would send a disastrous message to the insurgents whom British forces are battling in Basra in southern Iraq.
"For us to set an arbitrary timetable -- not attached to the conditions in Iraq, simply saying that we will pull British troops out in October come what may -- would send the most disastrous signal to the people that we are fighting in Iraq," Blair told lawmakers.
"It is a policy that, whatever its superficial attractions may be, is actually deeply irresponsible ... " he said.
Blair's decision not to take part in a later parliamentary debate on Iraq and Middle East policy drew sharp criticism from his political opponents.
