I think for us in the UK the whole WMC/Iraq thing blew up several years ago with the David Kelly affair, a stain on Blair’s government still which I doubt will wash away anytime soon in the minds of people, but we’re used to the fact we were lied to – not happy with it, but we’ve had the inquiry and headlines, the threats to the BBC and media and jeering on all sides. Certainly I think it was the closest to an impeachment anytime soon.
What astounds me about the whole Downing Street memo is that the news has been seemingly so quiet outside the UK – in fact inside the UK it was mooted and swallowed up with the election and what effect it had.
But why aren’t people outside the UK, finally confronted with what’s been not denied and apparently confirmed as the truth, jumping up and down? The silence is deafening…
Maybe Madge Weinstein is right, maybe we are all in a depression, faced with government we expect to lie to us; expecting to be treated that way. It makes me so angry – but where to place that anger so it’s productive?
Hmm if there is someone like Gandhi or Martin Luther King out there, now would be a very good time
But where?
