Am I just simple? Why is America and Europe allowed to have nuclear weapons and the rest of the world not?

I would love to go down to Number 10, wait for Tony Blair to come out and then pelt him with rotten eggs. I am not going to do it of course, because he and Sherrie are barristers. and I have seen those police batons at work. Oop's! Now you have all read this, will my private thoughts be viewed as 'intent'? Will I wake to find special branch on my doorstep. Wake up folk's! Point of Law.... intent no longer means that you have been found guilty of trying to do something. e.g. The defendant hit Mr Jones over the head with a large hammer with the intention of 'killing him'. No.. 'Intent' now means that at some point the defendant had the thought that he might hit Mr Jones over the head with a large hammer with the intention of 'killing him'. But you know how life is.. Other priorities got in the way. The defendant had to go to the laundry, get himself a packet of fags, weed the garden etc. and thus he never got around to carrying out his evil thought, no I mean his evil 'intention'. Now had he been arrested, charged, tried and preferably executed, had he even mentioned have such a thought/intention, our world would be a much better place.

So the final conclusion of the UN inspectors is that Iraq has no WMD's and has not had since the first war. What a surprise! Still the arrogant Bush and Blair continue to insist that they were right to invade Iraq because the world is now a safer place. How can these men hands on heart say that? It is evidently not true. Iraq in particular has become a far more unstable and dangerous place since the invasion. And what is this rubbish about 'intent'? What we need is is international senior judges to try Bush and Blair as war criminals and see how far they get with their 'intent'.

It is reassuring to know that not voting for the right wing Labour Party will not mean letting the even more right wing Tories in. I am no politician, but listening to Oliver Letwin trying to explain why people should vote for the Tories was enough surely to put even the most dedicated of Tory voter off. He frankly just came out with a load of rambling nonsense. It now just need enough people to give the the Lib Dems a chance. Surely they cannot do any worse than the Tories montrous reign and the Labour Party spins and lies. They are certainly a more credible opposition now that the Tories. And cringe, cringe, Tory Ministers trying to convince the electorate that they are human by telling us about the first music video they ever bought. Convincing or what? 'not'. And who cares anyway!
