Market For Torture.

leave a comment »

Thanks to Harry I picked up on Craig Murray’s testimony. Murray’s right torture should not be used, condoned or accepted:

“”I would argue that what you are doing is creating a market for torture,” he said.

“We are talking about people screaming in agony in cells and our government’s willingness to accept the fruits of that.”

He accused the government of a “schizophrenic” policy on torture, on one hand saying they “unreservedly” condemn it but on the other hand being prepared to receive its products. “

The web is big and you can always miss significant issues, so I am grateful to Comrade Coatsey for his wonderful Carnival of Contrarians and pointing me back to Bob’s, for this important campaign: Strangers into Citizens

The BNP, The Jews And The Prank Call.

leave a comment »

A rather topical joke, this is a prank call to the BNP, and you’ll hear the BNP’s true attitude towards Jews.

BNP spokesperson: “…Jews run the country…” “…concentration camps…” “…the German never gassed one person…”

Hmm, I wonder if that particular BNPer reads the Guardian? Maybe he’s a theatre critic too?
