Busy, Busy, Busy.

With all the stuff that's been going on recently if I don't make at least three posts today it's going to be Friday night before I'm vaguely back on schedule.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlosconi is one of the major architects of the Bristol Abuse Case. Politically Mr Berlosconi is very right wing, almost to the point of the fascism. He has made it quite clear that women's rights, gay rights, immigrant rights and basic human rights are no concern of his. This means that whenever I hear one of the gay rights for gays mob speak in support of the BAC I cannot help but laugh in their faces. Perhaps if they actually believed in their own cause they wouldn't be so easily exploited.

On the subject of exploitation the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) have been poking the widow of Ian Tomlinson with sticks until she made an appeal for witness to come forward and help with the investigation into her husbands death at the G20 protests. There seems little point in contacting the IPCC on the matter because they're not carrying out the investigation, the City of London Police are. Besides when the Home Office decided that they weren't going to carry out Mr Tomlinson's autopsy correctly they also decided that there is no way on earth this investigation will conclude that the police were in any way responsible for Mr Tomlinson's death. The only reason for this appeal is to get G20 protesters to voluntarily walk into an police station and hand over their names and contact details. This will no doubt help the Forward Intelligence Team (FIT) match names to faces and will probably result in a few arrests. I have to say that I feel very sorry for Mr Tomlinson's family because it appears that they're about to be frogmarched into a repeat of the De Menezes inquest debacle. It seems killing the husband wasn't enough for the police so now they're going to go and torture the widow.
