robin cook : morally, this is indefensible. politically, it's plain stupid; but then, what does robin expect of a journey-man like big-ears? not an intelligent, sensible measure which is proportional to the real risk and which maintains our liberties?



big-ears is a deeply unimaginative man, who has obviously accepted a load of old crap from bliar's handlers and cannot see just how stupid, illiberal and ultimately damaging to british democracy his proposed measures are.



he needs a good kick in the arse to wake him up - reasoned argument patently will not do that, so a good, brutal hammering by the house of lords just may do the job.
