Shame on you GREAT Britain!
Great? Are we so “Great” when we allow Blair and his political cronies in the UK and America to bring us to this:
• illegal invasion of another country
• secret prisons around the world
• torture
• reports of USA soldiers putting prisoners into lion cages
• reports of USA supported government forces pealing off prisoners skins, electric shocks, hanging people up by wrists from ceilings….and…and…and….
• Phosphorus (a chemical!) being used as weapon (questionably breaking international law on use of chemical weapons! and! One of the arguments given as reason for invading Iraq in the first place!)
• Lies and deceptions and manipulation of truth
• Dogs used against prisoners
• Humiliation
• Reports of Religious degradation
• Bombing of women and children
• People arrested and held without trail or legal representation
• Persons arrested on unclear, questionable, weak, superficial and fabricated charges
• Illegal, questionable, dishonest use of foreign countries air space
• Human rights of people everywhere, all persons, being corroded and reduced
• Questionable greater powers being given to forces all over the world without sufficient control or checks or reasons under pressure of Bushes anti terrorism
• Citizens rights all over the world brought into question
• More an more cameras
• More and more detention laws
• More and more power for the police
• And….and…..and….
The list goes on and on. And the news does not get better. In fact the worst is probably still to come!
Is this what citizens of GREAT Britain want for their country? How much lower can GREAT Britain go? How much longer are GREAT Britain citizens going to tolerate this? Allowing the politics and actions and decisions of Blair and other leading people in Government and the British secret services, police and military (+ influences of America politicians, CIA and congress) to drag them down with them?
Of course we can say it is not us, it’s them, or the USA (Blair has aligned himself, and therefore also Great Britain, with Bush and his actions and politics), or the Iraqi’s themselves, or the terrorists, or…..but in our hearts we know that by being there, taking part, or even just by knowing…we know we part of it Is this what British soldiers are dying for? Is this the democracy we hear so much about? Is this the safety we hear so much about? Is this the security we hear so much about? Is this the kind of world we want?
Is this what the GREAT British citizens (and USA citizens) want? How low are we prepared to go?
