Use Your Loaf is still here.

27-08-2004 19:39

Two High Court bailiffs turned up at 7.35 in the
morning. But there were over 30 people defending the
place. Due to early morning stupidity they nearly got
through the door but got pushed out and dragged away.

The cops arrived and milled about aimlessly. The usual
team of confused builders also turned up but headed
for the cafe (they're getting well known there due to
repeated failed evictions). After faffing about for a

Bliar Impeachment - Talk about it at the Gruniad site

27-08-2004 12:57

The process may help display the causes of Bliar's committing to the USUK attack. I think his ignorance and stupidity, compounded by simple religious fundamentalism, is the prime mover.

I think it points to a need for intelligence testing for elected reps., and for the instigation of a proper democracy with PR, as in Germany and elsewhere.
