Re: What has happened to Britain?

I don't agree with bashing the US regardless, but any nation who interferes in another nation's democratic elections (such as Nicaragua) when they disagree with the result, is a bit suspect in my book. I don't like Tony Blair, but he was elected democratically (insofar as any voting system like ours is democratic). Anyway, we have international companies who wield more power than many nations, whose interests do they have at heart?

We are in danger of becoming a third world country, we are selling out right, left and centre. I doubt we would have our wonderful Human Rights Act if it was not for the fact that Cherie Booth (aka Mrs Blair) is the head of Matrix Chambers, which is the largest human rights chambers in the country, making pots of money out of it. It does seem that everybody in the world has human rights except for those of us who were born here, whose parents and grandparents worked, fought, and in some cases, died, for this country.

Or am I over-reacting?
