Today, anyone associated with France should have reason to be proud of that association.

According to the Guardian, french people, like their brave parents and grandparents have taken to protecting the oppressed from Mr Sarkozy's picture of France.

While the picture painted is far from perfect, with idealistic people like these around, i think France has a good future ahead of her.

Incidentally fraternité in french actually means sisterhood rather than brotherhood.

P.S. the first é would not fit in the title, going to be working on a fix soon for accented characters.

...can't screw up so easily.

Apparently the Metropolitan Police have said that if a prosecution is successful, they will be unable to do their jobs.

So they are saying if they got caught wrongdoing, they wont be able to continue wrongdoing.

Charles de Menezes was an innocent victim of the ever increasing incompetence and corruption of the British Police Forces, ever since they were politicised by the Labour Government.

The detail watching the apartment block, went on a break, without arranging cover. This resulted in a knock on effect ending up with the armed response unit conducting a "Mafia Style" execution of an innocent man. Now the armed police may have been under extreme pressure, but their actions lack both wisdom and intelligence (wouldn't a suicide bomber take the care to have a deadman's switch).

It would be bad enough if that was where the wrong ended, but in response to the truth coming out, there was a deliberate attempt by the Metropolitan Police to cover up their gross incompetence and brand Mr de Menezes as a likely terror subject, so they could be justified in executing him.

The police needs to be brought to heel, since they don't seem to be capable of acting as civilised humans at the moment. For generations we have had a police force to be proud of, now it looks like we are trying to emulate the excuse for police that the US government employs.
