Fuhrer Blair is NOT attempting to pass a law that will allow him to bypass Parliament.

I never flirt

Whoa!! That's not harsh!

It's really not very far off. You want to see some of the stuff he's been trying to pass over the past six years or so - 'authoritarian' would be treating it kindly.

Here's a basic run-down of some of the more dictatorial and fascist legislation Blair's government has passed over the last five or six years or so (this is just off the top of my head):

• Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (this allowed the police to intern people without trial)
• Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (this Act, when enacted by a Minister of the Crown in an 'emergency' situation would give the Government virtually unlimited power)
• Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 (this, amongst other things, gave the Home Secretary the power to put people under indefinite house arrest without trial and place others on 'control orders')
• Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (This Act was to set up a new police department called the Serious Organised Crimes Agency. Also, this Act banned any unauthorised demonstration an entire half-mile around Parliament. Several people have been arrested for peacefully protesting)
• Identity Cards Act 2006 (the setting up of a compulsory ID cards scheme with a vast database known as the National Identity Register, which will basically track people throughout their lives and act as a dossier. This would make the Saudi Arabians, Chinese and the North Korean dictatorships proud - this register will hold more detailed information on innocent citizens than the Stasi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi) ever had!)
• Terrorism Act 2006 (Blair dictatorially decided he wanted to give the police the power to hold people for three whole months. After a hell of a fight, he lost the vote and was forced to be satisfied with 28 days, a much longer period than any civilised country)

And the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill, also known as the 'Abolition of Parliament Act' and the equivalent to the NSDAP's 'Enabling Act' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act). This proposed Bill will give the executive the power to amend or simply make up their own laws without any parliamentary oversight, though the Goverrnment claim that the Bill is simply 'to cut red tape'. Fortunately, the press is gradually beginning to cotton on to this and hopefully this nasty, autocratic Bill will be stopped in the Commons.

Having Irritable Bowel Syndrome is great fun.

I have never been to a ceilidh.

Most people from the States tend not to keep up with British poltiical developments and vice versa, which is why I put down a nice bulleted list. And a lot of people in this country ARE stupid (or ignorant) though, and don't have a clue about most of this legislation and its consequences.

(And where, in my post, did I accuse you of being an idiot? )

It absolutely is not pitch black outside.
