the british justice system is one of the most hide bound and bigoted in the industrial world. when i was practicing law i recall the british lawyers constantly telling the reat joke:"the golden thread of british justice is innocent untill proven irish". good goddess do those who like british jstice follow the sad trail of wrongfull convictions and fabricated evidence.

even denning admitted thre american justice system was much more democratic and compensation and appeal oriented than the courts in the uk

when he was master of the rolls, lord denning siad that ir was a shame they had aboloshed the death penatily because tyhe brimingham six and the maguires would never have gotten public exoneration. their public exonaration brought the syatem of justice into disrepute. to denning it was better to han innocnent people than admit errors.

i do find the anti traveller stuff offensive. most of their problems are born of a lack of job opportunities. when we in canada had an influx of roma back fifteen years ago the bigots wrung their hands and cried warning. however unlike britain canada had extensive education for immigrants and after fifteen years most of them are now working at the first decent jobs in their lives and prospering.we have a refuge policy that if you get to canadian soil and can prove you will be discriminated at home you automatically get refugee status. one of the great things about canada.we have a country committed to multiculturtalism and wave after of weave of immigrants have been able to join in the mainstream. we have had problems but nothing like european counties with their deeply engrained bigotry and racism. i just hope our new conserrvative majority government doesn't disassemble the immigration. system

and finally it gets rich richard bridges calling people racist when he never finds a fault with the murders commited by his government and his army against irish people(and others)--repeatedly.there's no point in trying to educate keith--he's beyond ignorance
