but he and his perception managers
probably took note of the way the hutton and butler whitewashes were received


which begs the question why are the British public accepting this dangerous charade of a government

The offices of the wonderful newspaper The Guardian on farringdon road are so close to one of last week's blasts that naturally in that office, long thinking of a possible "exit strategy" from Iraq the columnists clamour that anyone who doesn't see a link between last thursday and iraq is in "denial".

Perhaps. Maybe. o as if.

Anyone who doesn't see a link between the continuing injustice as perceived globally against Palestinians and terrorism in the west is also one could say "in greater denial".

Anyone who doesn't see a definite link between the new global posturing of the UK in the last weeks and terrorism is in "very serious denial".

Anyone who doesn't connect the "non-connected" alert in birmingham last weekend with London is in the most "foolish denial".

London must tend to its victims.

& then London and the UK if it is to credibly continue "its way of life" must call an open and public inquiry with all members of COBRA, the Prime minister, the public representatives for the boroughs affected, a spokesperson for a properly constituted group representing the victims and their families, representatives of the emergency forces, representatives of the intelligence community.

Any refusal to do so on behalf of the British government is an attempt to foist an abnormal civil rights situation and control of information on the public. It is a subversion of the "way of life".

If not just for those of London, for all who will be victims of XXI century _imitative_ terrorism in other places,

a public inquiry with a transparent investigation is :-
*obligatory*
