Rage against the dying of the Bright

Jul 05, 2007 09:24

Ok so it started with an ill considered move on my part. I read "the Sun" editorial. I'm not proud of it but I was bored and it was the only thing to read while I was waiting for my food.

Apparently the S(c)u(m)n wants to call on our new PM* to "tear up the hated Bill of Human Rights" because all it does is "prevent our security forces from protecting us effectively."

Can we suspend it just for him? Just long enough to have him arrested with no cause, held with no charge or right to appeal and then force him to watch "V for Vendetta" twenty times without allowing him to sleep.

Wouldn't it be funny if we became a God-fearing totalitarian state because of fear of terrorists that want us to become a God-fearing totalitarian state? (**)

* Because the best way to defy terrorism is to get an unelected leader to change our fundamental rights and protections.

** Assuming the "terrorists", (aka incompetent idiots***), were actually Muslim extremists which I'm not sure has even been confirmed yet.

*** So nice to see the British media turning a botched job into successful terrorism!
