I think these will be of interest to the CUK congregation. They are postings on the BastardOldHolborn Blog (more fun than Guido) about current and former members of the cabinet.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
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.”
I used to be naive enough to believe that this [police state] wouldn't happen with a left of centre government. I can't explain my belief now as all the evidence indicates that it is almost certain to happen with left leaning regimes. Perhaps over the years I was indoctrinated with the belief that only governments of the right would behave in this way? The left were a bit wooly but generaly caring, perhaps to a fault while the right were brutal and oppressive.
What an eye opener the past ten years or so has been!! I feel embarrased about my former credulity.
