Book of the week

My choice this week is The Blunkett Tapes: My Life in the Bear Pit by, of course, David Blunkett MP (£9.49+pp). The working-class kid who overcame blindness to became a Cabinet minister is characteristically blunt as he talks about New Labour colleagues, his career and his two resignations. Amazingly for a politician, he admits where he got things wrong, so that should make it a collector's item. Check it out here.

NO INCARCERATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
written by Richard, October 02, 2008

Did the gentleman apologise for making us all subjects of US Law, when he removed the need for prima facie evidence before extradition to the US or does he see that as part of our special relationship the one we bend over and just take it, whatever ever America dishes out. This man should be dragged out by the very public he sold out, no Trial just a rope a tree and the strung up as an example to anyone that sells out the constitutional right of Habeas Corpus that we the people of the UK have enjoyed since 1215. It was bad enough that Blair dismantled the Bill of Rights as a way of making a few quick quid out of parking and so called fixed penalty (not fines or forefits) just penaties - I'd like to end his life in a Bear Pit!
