Thought Crime

O'Brien | 28.09.2005 21:38 | Repression | South Coast

An octogenarian objector to the Iraq war is manhandled from the Brighton Labour Conference and subjected to the Terrorism Act to deny re-entry.

Walter Wolfgang (82) and a fellow party member who spoke up in protest of the pensioner's rough treatment were forecefully ejected from the NewLabour Brighton conference.

Wolfgang a long-standing party activist was removed from the building and a police officer used to the Terrorism Act to deny him re-entry.

The terrorist act perpetrated by the dangerous Wolfgang was shouting `That's rubbish, that's a lie' during Jack Straw's Iraq war during his address.

A public apology issed to Mr Wolfgang whiffs of hollow and cynical damage limitation when considering that Mr wolfgang, a refugee of Nazi Germany, will not be re-admitted to the conference.

Dissent is now clearly a serious crime in the UK.

Tony Blair deserves an Oscar for his conference speech. He spun fancy words about “21st Century terrorists, fighting a medieval religious war” while Britain occupies their country and refuses to withdraw. His Stepford wife, Cherie, looking as orange as her husband, but with more lippy than Myra Hindley’s mug-shot, applauded his every proposal.

After eight years of New Labour one would expect their policies on health, education and crime to have borne fruit, but Blair wishes he had gone further with Draconian reforms. How much farther can you go than abolishing Habeas Corpus and the Magna Carta? To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention, because I knew he wouldn’t be honest.

If Blair was truthful he would have told the delegates that all citizens are criminals now, if they voice an opinion. That is a thought crime, for which eighty-two year old Walter Wolfgang was physically ejected from the hall. He thought Jack Straw was talking “nonsense” and said so. Democracies do not tolerate dissent, apparently.

Blair could also have advised the country that police can shoot innocent people in the head seven times in full public view and it’s perfectly legal. The government can send troops to invade sovereign nations, based on lies, without international repercussions. Anyone who opposes it might die in the woods, or up a hill, like Robin Cook.

The Prime Minister insisted a debate on globalization would be like debating whether autumn follows summer. It is a foregone conclusion and we must be willing and able to change. He proudly proclaimed, “The future will be ours to share” but with whom? Monsanto, Raytheon and Halliburton? Sharing is caring, for corporate profits.

Blair said he felt proud of Britain after the London bombings, but we must remain allied to the USA to guarantee our security. Like Hell! It didn’t work for Iraq, swarming with American marines. Intelligence chiefs are warning of more terror attacks, and they would know, but even if we forfeit our few remaining liberties, they can’t prevent it.

New Labour’s punky theme tune by ‘Sham 69’ was most appropriate, because that’s what party politics are, a sham. Blair called himself ‘the changemaker’ but we have been short changed through excessive taxation, failing health services, an education shambles, social injustice and record police on the streets. That’s what happens in a police state.

Long live Tony Blair! He is the blue sky in the hearts of all nations - the milk of human kindness. We are joyful at the victories of the Labour Party congress, and we go to work with his name on our lips!

Hah hah (Lord, retired)
