“It is very difficult to build an intelligence picture, but we cannot rule out pre-emptive action,” said the spokesman’-

This translates as:
“We don’t know who they are, where they live, or what their plans are, but we want to sound all big and menacing in the press, so the Tories don’t cut our workforce to shreads.”

Stopping being left wing is usually a great liberation for those who experience the conversion. You suddenly realize that you no longer have to go on believing all this rubbish ,phew what a relief !. Utopia, the perfection of mankind never going to happen.Revolution ,always ends up with a dictatorship of the thugs and psychopaths. As I say ,a great feeling of liberation really.

"Iraq is the big oil prospect. BP is desperate to get in there and anxious that political deals should not deny them the opportunity."

They have "no doubt that the organisational cooperation between the Metropolitan Police and the TUC was a significant factor in ensuring that the vast majority of people who attended had a good day." Their "impression
was that the police reacted proportionately and gave appropriate consideration to the rights of the peaceful protestors on the TUC march."

Those who broke away are "violent individuals" who "affected" the peaceful marchers. They class as "the greatest policing challenge" on the day, and so their take on events can be readily dismissed. Far more important is that the police need better toys, because "communications technology between the SOR and officers on the ground could be improved."

Whilst Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti speaks of "the right to peaceful dissent in the oldest unbroken democracy," her organisation is now safely assimilated within the establishment which views genuine dissent as little more than a "policing challenge."

The eradication of Christianity from laws, customs, ceremonies, education and culture in general will make this process much easier than it would have been when these countries were actively Christian. I only hope Professor Dawkins is pleased as amplified calls of 'Allahu Akhbar' waver and echo from the Islamicised towers of redundant Victorian churches in the damp and misty air of North Oxford.

It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.

No one has yet offered a definition of ‘tax haven’ on which we can all agree. The IMF, the OECD and the other main agencies tend to adopt the language they think acceptable to their own constituency. The term ‘tax haven’ is too obviously value laden, as the French equivalent, paradis fiscal, makes clear. ‘Offshore’, too, conjures images of island paradises, when some of the locations involved – Liechtenstein, for example – are landlocked. ‘International financial centre’, a creation of the financial services industry, seems designed solely to give an air of respectability.
