Good day to bury bad news

I listened this morning to the speech given by the chancellor to the CBI this morning. Oh, go on Terry it wasn't the chancellor it was the man who is both Chancellor and Prime Minister. What exactly is the point of Alistair Darling. What exactly is the point of the speech to that thing which passes as parliament nowadays.

What is more important? The murder of the British citizen in Pakistan resulting from a Drone attack from an American 'flown' Predator. Now, we have the appalling situation where an alleged terrorist is killed, mind you they were after somebody else, so I suppose that he is collateral damage.

Patrick Mercer, the conservative, has quite rightly picked up n this one as well, and I congratulate him. If the report on the Today programme is to be believed then for somebody to say 'this country (Britain) is a safer place today' for the death of this man is a travesty of what I know as justice.

If there is a suspected terrorist then they must go through the due process of an arrest, and a trial. Not an execution. This is turning into another day to bury bad news. Watch this space, this is not acceptable.

Mind you by murdering these suspected terrorist it gets away from the jury trials and the expense of keeping terrorists in jail. Also, they can't be extra-ordinary renditioned, if they are dead, can they? We need to know what the policy is. Where is the Milliband person telling us that he wants ptotection throughout the world for British citizens. What just like it says on your passport.
