. . . are holding this young man in Abu Ghraib conditions. Let's just repeat that . . THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH . . y'know, the one that rampages round the World, killing, bullying, torturing and gereally kicking any ass it happens to take a dislike to, which at the same time whines and bleats that the other nations of the World don't practise democracy, freedom and human rights and so must be tortured, bullied and killed until they start so practising, which doesn't recognize the International Court of Human Rights in case that Court twits one of its precious citizens, which "negotiates" non-reciprocal extradition treaties with the British Government, which protects cotton pickin', banjo pluckin' redneck farmers from fluctations in market prices because it BELIEVES THE REST OF THE WORLD OWES IT A LIVING, which allows its insane investment b(w)ankers to piss its taxpayers' dollars down a bottomless toilet of risk and at the same time doesn't turn a hair when those same b(w)ankers award themselves multibillion dollar bonuses, . . is holding this young man in Abu Ghraib conditions, i.e. naked, sleeping on the floor, in solitary confinement "for his own safety" because he joked to a prison guard that he might "strangle himself with his own underpants"
Bradley Manning
charged - well, actually, no, he's detained naked etc etc but he hasn't been actually CHARGED WITH ANYTHING - bit like the prisoners in Guantanamo camp, remember them? - he's being investigated to see if he's done anything wrong - that's how the Greatest Nation on Earth begins the process of dispensing justice - with supplying the thousands of documents constituting the bulk of the outbreak of WIKILEAKS. Bradley Manning's President, Mr. Barak Obama, just yesterday declared that Manning's holding conditions were "appropriate." My guess is either the Hillary Clinton Mob or the Pentagon told him to say that.
MAKES YOU PROUD YOU'RE NOT AMERICAN, DOESN'T IT?
And before you start protesting that FTSE has just got a chip on his shoulder, think about this . . which organisation is carrying out the forthcoming census in our Sceptred Isle? You don't know? Of course you don't. H.M Government doesn't want you to know in case you start bleating about the fact the LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, an American Corporation specialising in the manufacture of weaponry et al, is running the U.K census. "So what?" I hear you cry, "someone's got to run it." So this. The Patriot Act gives the American Government the absolute right to see any and all information on any subject held by any American corporation or organisation. That's the measure of their psychoses and paranoia, but let that pass. Lockheed Martin will hold our census data and so, in principle, the White House, the Pentagon and the incompetents in Langley, Virginia have access to any personal and family details which you are obliged UNDER BRITISH (not American) law to include in your census return. This is one result of successive British governments since the end of WW2 sticking their tongues as far into White House underpants as they can possibly reach. Remember what the much vaunted "special relationship" means. It means "Listen, you Limey Brits. You fucking well do what we tell you, O.K?"

I don't leave comments on blogs that use Word Verification. Ditto blogs which I know have Comment Moderation applied. Life's too short and I'm too busy makin' money and what the Hell are these people scared of anyway? If you don't like some creep's comment . . TRY DELETING IT! You have that privilege.
And I never read unpunctuated so-called poetry. I don't understand why self-styled poets think it's clever to make their work difficult to read/understand.
