OCCUPIED COUNTRY

Tomorrow Never Knows

Not long ago two of the Britons held in Guantanamo Bay were earmarked as cast-iron guilty and soon to be brought to Military trial. Now it seems it's OK to pass them back to 'Old Europe' to either try or free them.

At the moment I am listening to an American apologist for the unlawful incarceration of many hundreds of people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It turns out he's a Military Lawyer. His line of argument is that whoever disagrees with him is - and I quote - "an ignorant slob". It doesn't help when we get self-styled pricks like this explaining that everything America does is OK whereas any argument to the contrary is dismissed as "siding with the terrorists". Arguments like that are no better than the maniacal ravings of the likes of Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi.

Guess there must be an election approaching. Guess either Tony or Dubya must think the repatriation of the previously forgotten will somehow 'play good' with the British electorate. The added bonus for neo-conservatives New Labour is that it could knock the Blair-Brown shenanigans off the front page as the hustings begin. I doubt it though. That paraphrase attributed to Gordon regarding never trusting a word Tony says must be destined to become a central part of the Tories' platform. I can see it now paraded Saatchi-like on every billboard that Labour haven't already snapped up with their combination of Ecclestone et al's millions and their knowledge of when the election will actually be. Should be more interesting this year. What with UKIP and the Lib-Dems looking like at least eroding other Parties' votes as well as picking up a few more themselves.

Another day of walkies, howling gales and dog shit. As someone, somewhere once sang.....'Things Can Only Get Better.................'

Well one can hope can't one?
