Well, these days one merely resigns and pockets the payoff (GBP18000 for Blunkett, TWICE) If one is found in flagrante delicto with the more attractive men under one's command or another similarly compromising position instead of being murdered. If one takes a glance at the Wikipedia entry for Roehm, it leads to the altogether unnerving idea of The Law Regarding Measures of State Self-Defense. I bet that's giving the neocon Americans ideas, though they can already get their poodlePresident to issue pardons for evildoers who get caught.
Yeah, I was shouting at the telly this morning as the BBC were interviewing the poor British citizens. The guy was talking about how horrible it was to spend 2 weeks with no idea what you were being charged with.
Of course, he appeared to be white. And nowadays terrorist suspects in the UK aren't meant to be white.
Ah, but they were being heald incommunicado, without charge, by foreigners, you see? Can't have that, now can we? unless the foreigners are American, of course - that's peachy
Like, the Iranians, like, they're, like, evil, like, and, like, terrorists and, like, stuff and like. I mean, like, just, like, look at them - they, like, look like, like, terrorists, like.
Obviously we can lock people up on a whim if we want, because we're the good guys. (I just typo-ed "good guys" as "god guys". I'm not entirely sure Bush or Blair would disagree with that either...). And if you don't agree then you're obviously just out of touch
They're treacherous allies at the best of times, because they'd still rather be dealing with a Tory. This is an opinion they're entitled to, but it does mean he's climbing into bed with people he can't depend on.
Anyway, he's only saying this because the MPs have just told him he's out of touch. I know who I agree with.
It's like I've been saying: he ought to just cross the aisle to the Tories, where he'd be more at home. They're so desperate for leadership they would probably make him their new Dear Leader.
