Hi, [...]

[...] It's not immigrants, and it's not even historically oppressed countries necessarily. Over here in the UK people seem ready to roll over and give in without a murmur on matters such as ID cards and imprisonment without charge and without trial. I was in a supermarket today which was showing Sky News - that's a Murdoch channel, so I don't have very high expectations. The anchor was talking to another journalist - a journalist, note, not a politician or a policeman. The 'journalist' claimed that the British people will welcome ID cards, that they have nothing to fear from them, and that they will solve the problem of terrorism. Gobsmacked? I nearly threw my fish fingers through the feckin' screen. I knew Murdoch news was bad, but jeez, to have his so-called journalists spouting the assertions of authoritarian politicians and security freaks as if they were established facts... -- Cheers, Bob
