03.06.10British PM Describes the war in Iraq as “the right decision for the right reasons”It's quite astonishing when you think about it that the British people have not known where PM Gordon Brown stands on the issue of the War in Iraq. We have had his implicit support for the War but the PM has generally maintained a very low profile on the unpopular issue. Until this week. On Friday, during the Chilcott inquiry, Brown described the decision to go to war in Iraq as "the right decision for the right reasons". As chief cheque signer, he probably didn't have much choice.

03.30.09CCTV Resolution Fails to Meet Requirements in WestminsterIn my last post I wrote about the decline in personal freedom in the UK and cited the massive investment in and commitment to CCTV cameras. Well, as it turns out, the authorities can't even get that right. The City of Westminster has been ordered to switch off its network of (new) CCTV cameras because they don't meet regulatory requirements for minimum resolution and are therefore illegal!! This has come to light on the eve of the G20 Summit in East London when there is - for once - a strong case for monitoring the comings and goings in the city. ...

03.30.09What’s going on in Britain? Government Creep is a Concern While Financial Crisis Grabs HeadlinesThings are tough back at home right now. It seems that the economy isn't the only thing in UK in recession right now. Personal freedoms seems to be taking a bit of a battering too. Britain seems listless. It is struggling to find a new identity and the apparent politico-cultural transformation that has occurred in the US is in stark comparison to an arrogant, out of touch and un-elected leadership in Britain. We're stuck with two political classes that are yet to truly modernise in a way that seems relevant and compelling to the community and more importantly to the wider world, ...
