Bare with me on this its a long political rant 
Ive been accused of being over cynical and looking too deeply trying to find conspirocies (sp?) many times, but I think we have to.
Anyway.....ive been thinking about this a lot recently.
Remember the fox hunting media frenzy? Well at the the same time as that was going on something else happened that should have been so much more news worthy but it wasnt. The fox hunting thing was a smoke screen for something very scary.
At the same time, Blair fast-tracked a bill that is similiar to Hitlers enabling act.
The Civil Contingencies Act (formerly known as the Civil Contingencies Bill) was passed on 18/11/04. It could be described as "a nightmare come true".
Supposed to modernise civil emergency arrangements, it goes well beyond this, aiming to allow the Government and Ministers to exercise almost absolute powers at the slightest excuse. "Ath the threat, or percieved threat or terroist attacks"
When Parliament's Joint Committee reported on the original Bill in November 2003, they were alarmed that:
"In the wrong hands, it could be used to undermine or even remove legislation underpinning the British Constitution and infringe human rights".
Lord Lucas likened the slightly-amended Bill to Hitler's 'Enabling Act'.
"... Are we opening up our system to the equivalent of what happened in Germany in 1933, when it became possible for an extreme party legitimately to hijack a democracy and turn it into something totalitarian?"
I believe, as many many other people do, that the war on iraq was purely for the oil, land and power. There were no W.O.M.D's found ever, that was an excuse to justify thier actions to the public. Some people also believe 9/11 was actually instigated by Bush to give the american people a reason to back the war. Im not sure on that one but I wouldnt be surprised.
Thing is, we havnt had anything as dramatic as 9/11 (touch wood) and people are starting to turn against the government as far as the war in iraq goes, so they need to spread a little more fear.
Funny how the potential kidnap victim was a british muslim soldier, I mean if anyone would be perfect to be coerced, persuaded or ordered to go along with the story.....
The media coverage has been terrifying, people are scared. People are feeling like the war was almost brought here to Britain, the fear is spreading.
I just think the whole thing is a set up, designed to bring american style fear of the Islamic communities and the middle east to britain, to give the goverment the justification they so desperatley need.
Im not saying terroism doesnt exist, its a scary and very real threat theres no doubt about it, but sometimes I jusat get the feeling its all designed to sway the opinions of the people, isnt that what politics is all about?

do NOT let him join out there - although they look after their soliders ALOT better than they do here - they are not trained as well as British Soliders - you know that by only having to look at the number of US Soliders that have died than British Soliders!!!!
), the most accelerated country (industry wise) in the world. To go after him would take some thought.....
