Terror detention announcement expected

Jacqui Smith our new Home secretary is about to announce that the terror detention laws are about to be renewed and that the period of detention without trial is going to be 42 days. That's six weeks to you and me.

Personally and politically I find this to be abhorrent and unnecessary.

You don't need six weeks unless you are an incompetent bureacracy laden, lawbreaking Government who cant even register proper donations to your own political party properly.

This is playing on what fear? For Christ's bloody sake even the IRA and internment didn't work in Northern Ireland. Has everyone forgotten so quickly. History will say that you have repeated the same mistakes and caused untold damage to intercultural relations. This is a massive blow for civil liberties.


PS I know I wasn't going to post but this little snippet of fuckwittery by the government came out at 2am this morning.

Blogging will return on Sunday

Sorry but events have caught up and I need to go outside and get a life so blogging may not occur till Sunday. There may be a post here and there but not until Sunday will there be anything substantial.

I would like to thank my regular visitor from Hong Kong who comes here at three in the morning and my other regular visitors from the USA and the UK and Europe and the rest of the world for being regular supporters and readers and will look forward to your next visits.

Thanks

Henry

Blessings to everyone

Alpha and Omega

Today Im going to ask you to go and see my other blog posting

I think its important enough, politically, culturally and emotionally to be one of the most important things you'll ever read or will ever have read in your life.

This post is life changing if you take it onboard. It certainly means Im going to have a changed life and so will you.

Here's music for you to listen to while you read

If you go down to the woods today

You better not go to Sudan.

Gillian Gibbons has been pardoned

Anyway to get you in the spirit here is the song

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play.

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic.

If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday.

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout;
They never have any care;

At six o'clock their mummies and daddies,
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little teddy bears.

Background:

Jimmy Kennedy (1902-1984) from Omagh, Co. Tyrone, was a world-famous songwriter. He composed such songs as "Red Sails in the Sunset," inspired by a sunset over Portstewart strand in Co. Antrim, and "Teddy Bear's Picnic." The music was originally called the "Teddy Bear Two Step". It was written by American composer J.W. Bratton. Irishman Jimmy Kennedy later added the lyrics that have made this song famous.

Donations

Made me laugh anyway!

Euthanasia, Italian style

A man of pensionable age shot his 82 year old wife who was suffering from dementia ( Alzheimer type) three times in her hospital room. Two shots to the head and one to the chest.

I suppose it could only happen in Italy. Link here

USA says it has the right to kidnap UK Citizens

That's right, you read it correctly. The link to the Times aricle is the headline of this piece.

Who the hell do they think they are? Have we lost our sovereignty because of Bush's so called war on terror?

In anycase its a bad day for us. The prospect of emigrating to another part of the EU is getting stronger by the day.
