This is something I feel very strongly about, and I think that Thom Yorke put it so well, and was, perhaps, not heard by enough people.Take a look at this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_KellyOne quote I'd like to highlight: 'The Hutton Inquiry, a public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his death, ruled that he had committed suicide, and that Kelly had not said some of the quotes attributed to him by Gilligan. Norman Baker, Liberal Democrat member of Parliament, who spent a year investigating the death, has rejected the official findings, saying that the official account of suicide was implausible because the means Kelly was said to have chosen is an unlikely and ineffective means of suicide, and that the most likely cause of death was murder.'Fuck all was done about this in Britain.

Despicable!!!!!

Please listen to this song.

Pop Savant says Unfortunately, a powerful few in this world have far to much control over everything and everyone...here in the U.S. we count down the minutes until that fuckwit in the White House is replaced or brought up on charges for the blood of thousands... (yes, Tom usually has it right...)

QueenofHell says I know. The lack of care for one quite high profile individual, I think, here, exemplifies the distain of the powerful for those who aren't.

BarrieSutcliffe says Fuck all seems to be done about most things in Britain. Its government is in a very sad state, very dangerous times, edging closer and closer to something that resembles a pathetic, PC version of fascisti that wouldn't make Mussolini proud per se, but would do the job. This hurts me as I myself am British, though also a Canadian. I wrote about the Thom Yorke track a couple of months back, thanks for bringing it up again!

mktackabery says thanks Queen for bringing this up; I missed Barrie's post and didn't know about the story behind this song. The whole Yorke album is pretty difficult - edgy, angry, and full of anxiety. Like the damned world right now. I find it brings me to the depth of sorrow that the U.S. managed to bring Britain along on it's Iraq plan, which I feel, really to the depths of my soul, was about GW taking revenge for the failure of his father to deal with Saddam the first time around. This might sound like a simplistic explanation, but it's just like Shakespeare - all the stories end up being about love and family, don't they? Even the wars. And millions of people have died, and the planet continues to burn, and we fail each other, over and over. Entire bureaucracies are built on these lies. I was ambigious about going to war in Iraq - I didn't support it for the reasons given, because I never believed in WMD's myself. Hussein was too in love with money and power to actually spend the green necessary to build a viable nuclear and chemical weapons program that could actually sustain a long campaign. Guerrilla warfare, maybe. But he was more interested in building palaces and hoarding cash. However, we needed to find the bastard and kill him because we propped him up there and destroyed that country as a result because we were scared of Iran. All of this goes back to Reagan and Thatcher. Bush and Blair are like pawns, children puppets following their parental orders and taking us all to hell with them. The only hope I can take is expressed in one line of the song. There are so many of us you can't count.There have to be more of us that the bureaucratic bastards who want to burn the world. If there aren't, then there isn't any hope at all.
