Human Rights
May I suggest that more publicity be given to the series being run by Amnesty International to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. After 7 pm news on Channel 4.
The issues covered are Article 8 Monday, Article 19 Tuesday, Article 14 Wednesday,Thursday 'All human beings are born free and equal'.
In the light of recent erosions of 'our freedoms' then I think that these short films are far more important than 'Taking Liberties'. People are being killed and kiling throughout the world even as I write this. Iraq and Afghanistan are stains on all Britons. The War on Terror has made us worse than our adversaries, we know better, we, in Europe, have seen where this takes us, Concentration Camps and the Gas Chambers. This must stop. I do not want history to look at me and say , 'and what did you do during the war Daddy?. Did you watch them kill the women and children, and send people to be tortured and executed. Because that is what is happening, in our name.
Nick and the BBC. It is the wars which are breaking us, slowly and inexhorably, we are all polluted. It is time for the BBC to show some guts, don't swallow all the government pressure to concentrate on our injured soldiers and the sacrifices. The same excuses were used in WWI they must not have died in vain, they fought for freedom, well ask the Speaker and Damian Green about those freedoms. They will knock on your door one day, and then what will you say.
