Hi all, not really got much to say bout the events of my life so thought as I haven't done it for a while I'll talk current affairs.

On the day Vivian Westwood opened her new politically contraversial (and overly expensive) line of clothing on this very topic a brazillian women with her remaining children walked the route her son walked on the way to work before he was shot dead by some policemen who were surveying him under the terrorist act. This mistaken identity resulted in death.

Well I was thinking bout this and I got to thinking about those people who have been encarsarated under the same act with no trile, no release date, no lawyers and some with no explenation of why they've been arrested and I thought is this right. If as evidence has shown police alone can make mistakes in identity to such catastrofic results whats to say they haven't done it before and still doing it now. Have we become a country in which people can just disapear without explenation and thats ok. Is the anti-terrorist ant keeping us prisoners to a police state which will encarsarate or even kill us at a drop of a hat. should this act be reviewed.

On another note why has labour turned its back on the the voice of the people (unions). Today at the labour conference (and this is meant to be one of there minor points) they are discussing the future of the NHS (my employees so bit personal) and yes its privatisation. This service created 1947 to non-discrimitavely provide health and social care to the whole british public no matter what socio-economic back ground they are from by funding it through the public as a whole in taxes not by huge bills which may occur should you need it, bills which if your injured or ill you might not be able to work off. To give an idea on how high these bills will be let me inform you it cost the minimum of £750 ponds per week for someone to stay in hospital and thats not including treatment or investigations just to stop there. Can we expect to charge the poorer citizens of this country, which by the way still completely outway the upper classes and those who might be able to afford this, and the retired for these services. The unions are fighting against this by voting today but yet as it stands this will not affect the government which can over ride this vote causing yet more rich poor devide and causing a possible end to one of the finest and the oldest health care services in the world.

Anyway theres my latest political rant for those who might of missed them so catch you later
