Well, David "mad weasel face" Blunkett has resigned. Thank God for that.
Blunkett has resigned.
To preserve the integrity of the government he said. Do you think TB knows what word means?

I am a great admirer of Blunkett's, if you read his life story you realise what a tough guy he is. However his resignation tells me more about Phoney Tony than it does Blunkett. It is all and some would say only about image with his Tonyness, forget what was and was not actually done it's whether any of the merde would adhere to teflon Tone that really matters.
Believe me our country need politicians like Blunkett, and he called Prescott arrogant, you can't help but like a guy that says that. BTW a friend of mine works for Sheffield City Council and reckons Blunkett has always been a bit naughty in the ladies department.

So we need politicians prepared to abuse their position to favours for their friends? Actually I'm still not clear whether he did or not.
But what we didn't need was a home secretary that thinks he is above the law and can throw people in jail without trial.
I see this morning the law lords have ruled that the detention is unlawful. They have gone so far as to state that the biggest threat to our freedom is not terrorism but a government that feels it can ignore the law and imprison people as it wishes without trial. Something with which I wholeheatedly agree. It's a fundamental freedom that goes right bnack ti the Magna Carta. It was Britain that first introduced a habeous corpus law, a law which many people around the world wish they had.
Same with ID cards, a measure that would cause a fortune and do nothing to stop terrorism and undoubtedly make identity theft much easier.
If they continue to hold people without trial, well no one should be above the law in this country especially the government. Thay are beginning to act as if they havev a right to be in government.
Having said that I did agree with some of the things he did.
Just remember none of the cabinet need to be there, thay are supposed to act as a check on the prime minister to stop him having too much control, If you condemn Tony you need to condemn them as well because they go along with him and let him away with it. It's not just TB that is a problem.

Bad Girls have very high standards, but they love you even if you sometimes fall short.

Now there's a thing will you carry one or refuse to do so? It's an idiotic measure I hope common sense exerts itself and it gets thrown out. Given the unbelieveable mess they make with their computer systems the odds of them doing it right are pretty remote.

poor dears tony has pinched all their policies.

In all probability, if they are released then I will most likely HAVE to have one or not get a job.
As it is now I have to have a criminal record check for every job I apply for and some of them will even get me to pay for it... So far I have had something like 6 done, and that was mainly because in the begining they were non-transferable, now you can transfer them but they can't be older than something like 3 months.
Most nurses have more than one job with agency work as well.

The government opted out of part of the European Convention on Human Rights concerning the right to a fair trial in order to bring in anti-terrorism legislation in response to the 11 September attacks in the US.
Any foreign national suspected of links with terrorism can be detained or can opt to be deported.
But those detained cannot be deported if this would mean persecution in their homeland.
On Thursday, Lord Bingham - a senior law lord - said the rules were incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights as they allowed detentions "in a way that discriminates on the ground of nationality or immigration status" by justifying detention without trial for foreign suspects, but not Britons.
Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead, in his ruling, said: "Indefinite imprisonment without charge or trial is anathema in any country which observes the rule of law.
We have a government that thinks it acceptable to throw people in prison without trial. But relax they think it is the right thing to do.

The split in the Tory ranks over Mr Howard's decision to support the Government, was exacerbated this weekend with the revelation that Baroness Thatcher, the former Conservative prime minister, has made it plain she thinks ID cards are a "Germanic" concept alien to Britain and should not be introduced. Her comments to the Conservative No Turning Back Group last week, have been seen as a reference to Hitler's decision to introduce "compulsory registration of individuals" in 1938 and Germany's post-war adoption of compulsory identity cards for people over the age of 16.
I am no fan of maggie thatcher but there are times i wish she was still around.

The constitutional crisis provoked by the Government's refusal to withdraw anti-terror laws is expected to deepen this week with the resignation of more lawyers appointed by ministers to represent foreign terror suspects at secret hearings.
You can almost hear Tony, crisis what crisis, I believe I am doing the right thing.
