The petition was very badly worded, to the extent that I was in two 
minds about signing it. I am thinking about putting up another petition, 
but I don't know the rules.

Reading between the lines, it's just the same-old, same-old - "we can 
break the law a little bit if we want to, we don't have to bother about 
the details".



Got them into a bit of bother with their expenses recently though.


I think a solution has to go back to the beginning of "spin" ... or 
"lies"  ...

(and insofar as these things have a beginning, it's in the rate of 
dishonesty of MP's - which parallels the rate of supermarket pricing 
dishonesty quite closely, though the MPs have taken more advantage of 
the "acceptable-dishonesty" syndrome than the supermarkets)


  - and that's exactly and only sending Blair [8] to jail for the lies 
about WMD involved in the decision to invade Iraq.


'Cos that's when it all started - it had as always been going on before, 
of course, but it wasn't that important before.

Dismiss a Speaker? Pfui. Imprison an ex-PM and we are talking about 
_real_ power, and responsibility.



ps we arrest Bush2, if available,  too.
