David and Goliath again

When one considers what has transpired, not only from WW11 but from the Scargill Strike under Mrs Thatcher, one cannot help getting the feeling that it's all so hopeless!

Who would have believed that a British Socialist like Tony Blair would live to do the things he has done and still remain on apparently unremoveable, while Brian Haw's demonsration requires so much time and courage even to dent Blair's powers.


The present argument over nuclear power reminds one of Michael Foot's labour government some years ago. At that time Labour took the most universal of moral grounds and refused dabble with nuclear weaponry on the basis that it was not worth the candle to blow the world to pieces. It also took the view that if others wanted to nuke Britian ,then it coiiuld only be done in cicumstances in whcih a world conflagration would materialise: the argument being that in eithe revent nuclear weaponry is not worth the bother.

As Brian Haw mans his platform in an attempt to focus attention on what the whole world knows to be an unjust -- if perfectly Christian -- war, Mr Blair's indebtedness to American nuclear weaponry has become so apparent. Was the war initiated by Christo-Anglo-America to force the interdepndence of surviving WW11 fascism?

The best of luck, Brian.
