(0)One of the very few benefits of Tony Blair being Prime Minister is that he and his supporters are hollowing out the Labour Party :
Labour was in disarray about how to deal with its "serial rebels" after splits emerged among ministers last night over high risk plans to bar dissident MPs from standing at the next election.Miss Armstrong - furious at mass rebellions over top-up fees, foundation hospitals and curbs on asylum seekers - wanted rebels to know they could be deselected by the party's ruling National Executive Committee unless they pledged loyalty to Tony Blair.
To watch a time-honoured institution like the British Labour Party rip itself asunder is tragic. Just tragic.
Sorry, mate, don't speak 'la' lingo :-)

David - they are also hollowing out Britain. They are changing the Crown Prosecution Service to the Public Prosecution Service. How nice and Soviet that sounds! And they're taking Her Majesty out of Her Majesty's prisons.
Apparently the Queen wasn't even consulted.
What baffles me about the Brits is how they behave like a whipped puppy in the face of this bullying, spiteful, destructive "government". Americans would call their lawmakers and simply forbid them to vote for these moves. (Although in the People's Democracy of Former Britain & Now Collection of European Regions, this momentous change isn't even being voted on. Blind Blunkett has made these decisions all by himself. As he has never seen the Royal coat of arms, he has no idea how magnificent it is.) Prisons have been known as His Majesty's or Her Majesty's since Henry the Eighth.
This government is intent on cutting Britain off from its past and they are getting away with it.
I read in The Telegraph that Tranzi Blair is going to be accused by the ICC in the Hague (pause for jeers, loutish mockery and clever comments) over the "legality" of the war in Iraq. Don't you just love irony?

Pledge loyalty to Tony Blair?
What a sinister ring that has to it.....

Since when has the NEC been Blair's poodle? Is Baldrick going to vote out one of his comrades? I presume it requires more than a simple majority, and would be incredibly difficult except for the odd extreme case of obvious corruption. This sounds like lame posturing to me.

(Link)The Royals are in on it too. Don't be blinded that they're are there just for prestige. This family has been selectively breeding for hundreds of years to keep the 13 tight. We have the power to make a difference. If 1 person educates another and they in turn educate another so on and so on then we will have the knowledge and we as a mass can do something about it. The new Anti Terror laws are very much in line with Americas Patriot Acts. Don't let us have a police state and continue to say no to the Euro. Look at the evil occult symbolism on the coins. The 13 are putting it our faces and we don't see it as we're not aware. It's in our architecture, in company logos. The symbolism is everywhere. Wake up and find the truth. The Illuminati(The Enlightened ones) then will be exposed
