He is n ow a Mark-ed man… More seriously, this does go to show just how warped and twisted matters have become since the introduction of what appear to be excuses for draconian anti-liberty laws, sold on the basis of being "anti-terror" but in reality turning out to be nothing of the sort. I think all of us in the "political awareness" arena need to make sure that we would never fall into the same trap, if and when we might be in positions of power. Ah, Pack-the-(ruck)sack!

It could be because he is a bloody foreigner, or because he is fostering criminal intent, or it could be that there have been some shady dealings at his Bitter World of Bile themepark.

Frankly, I am surprised anyone feels safe walking Cowley Street alone. Lock ‘im up Special Branch. Lock ‘im up good.
