There is plenty of recent historical precendent. On 1st November, John Howard needed the help of a supposed Al Qaeda threat whilst attempting to rush through an amendment to the anti-terrorism laws in Oz. Needless to say, nothing was done about the standing threat level at the time; even experts remarked on this strange inconsistency. On 21st July the 90-day detention plans were actually being debated when the second London false-flag attack happened. And pretty much every single piece of (mostly dodgy) legislation George Bush has touched in the past 5 years has been preceded by some non-specific "Al Qaeda" threat.

Mind you, I agree entirely. Michael Mansfield’s comments yesterday were pretty much to the point….

…"because without these measures, it will be difficult for us to continue to ride roughshod over human rights and habeas corpus in any case where some pesky civilian gets too close to the truth about our supposed "war on terra". And this in turn will hamper our efforts to further the NeoCon agenda in Washington, which might jeopardise Tone’s job offer. And we don’t want that, because he’s SUCH a bitch while Cherie earns more than him…"

Asked if there was concerned that this wouldn’t be compatible with the Human Rights Act, the PMOS said "Human Rights Act? F*ck the Human Rights Act! We’re the government, for Christs’ sake!"

Don’t worry too much about that though, because the government’s own actions in ignoring the rest of us have supposedly put us all in greater danger than anything the police do or don’t do, according to many eminent sources since the invasion of Iraq. I say "supposedly", because I don’t believe for a second that the recent "terrorism" attacks in London were anything more than an inside job by the lying bastards who run our country and who will do anything (hear me? ANYTHING!) to protect themselves from the crimes they have committed thus far - including lying their way to war and continuing to lie about the aftermath.

I thought this was a whole new ballgame, all this terrorism and police killing people in the street malarky. So how can they have "real experience" in it?

Because even though he has so far lied in public and expressed a total lack of remorse at a public execution carried out on his orders, he’s perfect for our purposes because he’s pliant and does what he’s told. Even if it means having to nobble evidence; he doesn’t bat an eyelid.

Asked how many contrary viewpoints the government had considered, the PMOS replied testily: "For f*cks sake, leave my Tony alone! It’s really not his idea, it’s the police’s, and anyone who doesn’t believe him can go and ask his police chief, clone & wife Mrs. Ian Bliar; she’ll tell you, if she knows anything about it…"

Because, as we all know, Tony Bliar is well known for his championing of unpopular causes, and the energy he has always put in to highlighting public concerns in the commons. As soon as he realised there was something missing from our daily life (the security of knowing people can be locked up without trial), he decided to battle tooth and nail to right that wrong. Next week he will be introducing the deeply unpopular measure of having every tree in the country topped, because so many old ladies have written in saying their cats have gotten stuck. And after that, he is thinking about abolishing income tax, because he knows how much we all hate it. He says he understands, and not to worry because he’s on the case.
