Labour party activists

Before The Englishman said Read that last sentence again I already had. An astonishing use of important policemen by the government to lobby democratically elected MPs.

Blair doesn't seem to understand the relationship between the state, the police and the public. Using the police in government politics is habit forming and dangerous as is the expectation of the police to be used in this way. It gradually alters their view of their position in our society. Who is doing the slapping down these days?

The House of Commons yesterday perhaps but that is a single knot on an extremely greasy rope.

I've been looking forward to the film release of V for Vendetta but I fear the longer it takes to come out the closer it will resemble a documentary.

UPDATE

Bah! Giles notes that the film has been delayed.
