Vastly overrated film producer Lord Puttnam's apoplexy at the police over the manner of the arrest of Blair aide Ruth Turner in the cash-for-honours scandal would carry a little more credence if he had also spoken out after police officers had put seven bullets in the head of Jean Charles de Menezes.
The de Menezes family have still been denied the right of a full appeal and the Metropolitan Police commissioner is only to be prosecuted under Health and Safety laws for the manslaughter of an entirely innocent individual.
Health and Safety??? This is an Orwellian piece of doublespeak.
This government is proof that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Enough of this truncated democracy and let's start dealing with real justice here.
Blair is fortunate that he is only fending off police questions over his murky government practices in the House of Lords as opposed to standing trial in Den Haag for crimes against humanity.
How did the party of Aneurin Bevan end up with this duplicitous fascist*?
*The essential elements of fascism are militarism (Iraq/ Afghanistan), imperialism (globalisation) and racism (attitude to Blacks and Muslims).
