Aye, but take deep breath. Dont waste your energy hating f*cked up souls, methinks.

I dunno Andy. Someone's got to hate them. I am not confident enough to leave that bit to God.

I dont really know either Craig, ive just got this notion that when we think of vengence we compromise our objectivity. Theres plenty of hating going on, whats special here to me, is your genuine while deeply informed testimoney.
Its sure trite for me to talk about such things as negative emotions, because ive had nothing like the exposure to injustice as you have had, and of people youve stood up for, and ive only just bought your book.
Im just a sneak who thought calling a judge a c* was borderline foolhardy.

She looks quite stunning. But as is often the case... how looks can deceive! Who will be playing Gulnara in the film version of "Murder in Samarkand", I wonder?

A window on the people behind the curtain of the worlds political puppet show eh Craig?

Seems to me that 'morality' doesn't enter into it. Raw power and the maintenance thereof in the hands of those who have it; thats the name of the game. Probably always been so too, but these days you have to be wilfully blind not to see it. Western politician (in fact most politicians in the so-called 'First World') are simply front-men whose purpose is to inspire, cajole, pursuade or, per our current zeitgeist, frighten their respective constituencies into aquiescence on matters already decided by those 'powers behind the curtain'. IMHO, on the really big issues like foreign policy alignments and action, 'Security' and maintenance of the power/control of the State etc, it makes precious little difference who you vote for. Voting only makes a real difference on the trivia (Hunting is a good example) where tribal passions can be indulged and the lumpen electoriat kept compliant with their internal squabbles and soothing words about how civilised, progressive and advanced they are - whilst their critical faculties are numbed by the latest BIG Brother type 'reality' show masquerading as culture.

And Gordon Brown wants me to fly a Union flag! Frankly I'd burn the bloody thing first.
