Brown Succeeds in Being Ever More Disgusting

More disgusting was a difficult level for Gordon Brown to reach. Relying on Orangemen to introduce internment without trial into England does it though.

It has been said often that the six counties of Ulster that make up Northern Ireland were used as a training ground for the British Army and a trial ground for repressive, authoritarian practice, including torture, to challenge England's civil liberties. How ironic that it is the votes of the protestant unionists that have been used by a Scottish prime minister to subject the English to arbitrary rule.

Revenge ?

Very well put, especially the pregnant second sentence.

The Scottish Lord Advocate and the English DPP advised firmly against this legislation. How can it be justified that a group of Irish MPs should sell their votes to keep Brown's flagship bill on course?

They have delivered the tawdry corruption of protestant Northern Irish politics into our House of Commons at Brown's insistence, indeed begging.

The Scots sitting for Labour in Scottish seats should not have voted either. Brown has no mandate and no majority for most of what his junta does.

Revenge, E-K? Yes there must have been an element, a bit of grinning; but more a revelation of the ugly political realities and power cabals underlying federal United Kingdom politics.

It's all coming back from the Lords to be done again, and the next time even closer to the end of this disgraceful parliament. The concern is whether we will get any other. Spyblog lays bare the outrageous degree to which the rule of law has been savaged by New Labour. It might not be just they tawdry corruption aspects of northern Irish politics that will be practised but we will hear the rattle of a Thompson gun in London.
