Well, well, where do we go from there? Identity cards and freedom all in one article from a man who had a think tank that did not do any thinking, had no receptionist answering the telephone, and even no high powered employees to make any reports to sell to anybody. Curiously enough though this think tank had enough ability to give 103,000 pounds to Hain's deputy leadership bid. Sounds like the kind of speeches that Harriet Harman makes from time to time. I no longer trust New Labour with anything. Remember when Blair went to the House of Commons to plead for support but forgot to mention the 45 minutes claim. Outside of the commons he couldn't stop talking about it. To hell and damnation with them and liars like them. “Social justice and freedom”? Well, well, where do we go from there?

Democracy is all about listening to what the public says and taking action based on this feedback, not merely imposing your will by manipulating the media, fixing statistics and public consultations or otherwise trying to con the public to accept what you say without question.
