chickenfeetAny euphoria I may have felt over yesterday's decision by the Law Lords has been well and truly crushed by today's newspapers.
Looks like the British government is setting up to ignore the Law Lords. Get a constitution you guys! A system where the prime minister and a handful of cronies rule without any checks or balances doesn't deserve to be called a democracy.
On the other side of the pond Tariq Ramadan is refused a US visa. Hearts and Minds? Remember how you fucked that up in Vietnam? OK perhaps it's too much to expect Bush to remember a war he skived off from, especially as he was probably coked up most of the time but this decision is asinine.
