Blake dreamed of a green and pleasant land. What he saw around him was corruption, exploitation, greed, and hypocrisy. Is Blair's England any different? Is this a good place, or a neo-con illusion? Some observations.

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | In quotes: Auschwitz anniversary
BBC NEWS | World | Europe | In quotes: Auschwitz anniversaryOur Government bids us remember the destruction of the jews and gypsies of Europe 60 years ago. On the same day it decides to create laws which will make a present day holocaust possible in England. Blair is quoted in the news saying that the death camps began with a stone thown through a window. That is utterly wrong. It begab with the passing of laws that allowed Governments to suspend human rights. Blair and his ministers are opting out of Human Rights once more, as they plan to legalise house arrest without reference to a judge. The really frightening quote from Blair on Radio One yesterday morning was this one. "The great majority have nothing to fear." But anyone who believes in life liberty and freedom under law is bound to fear this legislation. The sad truth is that is only a shrinking minority of our people. Employment levels are high. The economy is strong. We are a rich people. Very soon we will vote a war criminal and his party back into power, because we do not have a better alternative. The entourage surrounding the heirs to the throne are racists of the ugliest kind. But even at this time of remembrance they can get away with their Nazi uniforms. The damger is not that we forget the Nazis, but that we do nothing about Blair's New Labour.
