Is it me or is government growing more "bass ackward" as time passes? This form falls on the heels of the issues that cropped up during last Knottinghill Carnival, am I right? That says something about the racist implications in it self.

As an American living in England, I have been quite surprised how little personal judgement policemen are permitted. When I first moved here I was gobsmacked by arrest of a woman for carrying a lethal weapon (her son's toy plastic sword) on the back seat of her car. Remember the fellow shot dead for carrying a table leg. Look at Jean Charles Menendez. This can't all be poor judgement, there is something wrong in the way the police are recruited and trained.

Not that things are much better in the US what with brutality and inappropriate racial targetting by police. I suppose there are and will always be pockets of mass stupidity with the power to make collosal mistakes. Bless the media for always letting us know.

So who is up for a music demonstration in London? Would be great if could be a kind of strolling wassailing force.
