Tuesday March 01, 2005 21:41 by Nemesis - reclaim the streets!
and it will not be a minute too late.
Tony Blair has given us terror in the name of peace for more years than most care to remember.
He has issued soundbyte after soundbyte, each carefully timed and crafted to up the fear index felt by his own people.
With no substantial reason, he linked the 911 event to an increased possibility of terrorist attack on London or others cities of the UK. With no explanation of the need or wisdom he rushed the legislation needed to clone human beings through both houses of Parliament.
With no respect for the religious or cultural significance of the day, he chose Good Friday as the day to launch a British Irish treaty which never delivered to any side of the conflict.
With no respect for his people, he converted the office of "prime minister" into a quasi-presidential role, where all who opposed him were silenced, divided, exiled or died.
It is time for the Rt. Hon Tony Blair to meet his Nemesis.
When he took power, it was on the back of historic mobilisations of the voters and a groundbreaking alliance between diverse interest groups of England, the UK and beyond.
When he took power, he spoke of the need for respect to the environment and support for the institutions of international arbitration.
He has committed the British armed forces to a war which neither they nor the US can prosecute.
Which has seen a constant drain of the elite forces to mercenery entities which did not formerly exist.
A war for whatever good motives it may have been, was explained to the public on the basis of flawed intelligence. In short Tony Blair has never had the courage to "tell the truth".
He has throughout all this talk of "peace" made war.
His supposed "third way" transformed a party which was once a movement into the most destructive force of ancient liberties both at home and abroad.
Tonight the peers of the United Kingdom debate as is their perogative the latest anti-terror bill to come from the Blair / Blunkett / Clark / Brown stable. Earlier the Commons despite a New Labour rebellion passed the legislation. But the key constituencies of those who represent the sectors who have forever defended and defined the ancient liberties at the heart of the Magna Carta voted No.
the vote in the upper house will rely on those peers who attend, many in the reformed house sit there thanks to Blair's much vaunted historical constitutional reforms, which saw the GFA, the GLA, and Holyrood cost just a few hundred million too much and its architect sadly die.
The Irish peers who may visit both houses and indeed saw their gallery used to throw purple dye at Blair, may not take their place amongst their peers to vote. But their opinion has been registered.
