Bunch of Police Seize Elected Representatives

Superintendent Bunch has reduced our fake democracy to a non- democracy by arresting Mssrs Sheridan and Galloway. (and a bishop).
I didnt get to Faslane, but the most serious indicator of our times has scarecly been touched upon...
As Woody Allen might say: 'You cant DO that; its not ALLOWED!' and indeed it would NOT be allowed in most conventional democracies to arrest George Galloway (of Westminster), Thomas Sheridan (Scottish parliament) or indeed senior churchmen.
Whilst anarchists and socialists understand the limits of electoral politics, here at last is PROOF POSITIVE of who runs the show, and who commands who. In most places, MP's and senators are usually granted political immunity which acan only be over-turned BY the same parliament, and Galloway & Sheridan would normally (in our hypothetical democracy ) be giving orders to the police, NOT vice versa. Think about it...
The true nature of the British state has been exposed, and it must be placed on the record for our IMC comrades overseas to see the magnitude of the British descent into quasi-dictatorship.
