Fines may well be issued by the control body and ultimately paid by the energy companies but is there talk of reimbursements to the consumers? What happens to to the many millions collected?

I read this, I read this, and I am lost. The police shoot an innocent in the tube, the hidden prisons come out now, the donations swindle is in, Tony Blaire had received this, and so I am a nut. Honest. I am lost. The Great Britain is sardine now in a small cod tin.
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown: Corruption is now endemic in our political culture
Monday, 25 February 2008
I wonder if dishonesty at high levels is now so embedded in the British political culture that those who indulge in it truly don't consider it a wrong, consider the odd financial naughtiness nothing more than that or a treat they occasionally give themselves.
This is dishonesty in the sub Sahara country, graft, lowest level human being, heartless souls, cowardly people who never had mothers. In Africa, these are what I would be called, yes? In UK. No?
I thank you

And this is what Britain's war in Afghanistan is fought for, eh?

So that nutcase mullahs can sentence people to death for reading articles they downloaded on the Internet?

The British Army should be pulled out of Afghanistan NOW, and let them hang the slimey, useless Karzai from a lamppost - as they did to his predecessor, Hadji-Bullah.

Jesus Christ John Gardner, are you some sort of new cheese or something. Cheesyness or what.

To whom it may concern!
I will not say a lot...Let's be realistic people...and let's put religion aside...we're talking about some innocent life at stake here...All is know about the Pervez is that he's an educated journalist unlike some illiterate leaders who have made the decision to hang this innocent young man...If it's said that he has done or said something negative about Islam, I'll ask everyone not to believe that, because that is not the story here...And besides, humanity is what comes before religion. People who want to hang him are not even human enough to think about this young life before executing him. What's the point of killing innocent young lives, why don't you leaders instead go and do something good for the country or the society. All I want is to have this young man's life spared, because people like him are needed in order to have a free and bright future not only in Afghanistan, but the world as a whole. People, if you have the power to help overthrow this false accusation, please do so before another life goes in vain.

Dose'nt make me Islamophobic. You need to stop hating and a life. Mug.

USA, Europe ! Stop another tablibanism in Afghanistan!
I think no one have right to exacute him, take karzai and their warlord minsters and give more freedom to Afghanistan where its citizens can feel and enjoy safety.
Say no to more suffering!

Любовь сына к матери, сестре, своей женщине, которую ему дал Всевышний, дает ему право отстаивать её права быть не униженной.
Всевышний доверил женщине выносить в своей утробе мужчину. Позже эти мужчины принимают решение "УБИТЬ" только за то, что молодой человек заступился за женщину, то эти мужчины не слышат голоса Всевышнего.
Не ты дал жизнь, не тебе ее отнимать. Лучше бы думали о душе и исполнении Слова Божия, когда разрешают насиловать, когда потворствуют распространению наркотиков, убивая целые поселения в ужасных муках.
Позор тем, кто оказывается слабым перед голосом молодого журналиста, заступившегося за честь женщины!

Well, I signed the petition. It was the least I could do. But who was it aimed at? And why was it so feeble. Without us, Mr Karzai's government would fall apart, yet we cannot criticise his human rights record. Imagine if this happened in Vladimir Putin's Russia. The entire media would be frothing.

Here is what my petition would have said.

Dear Prime Minister Brown

The war in Afghanistan has been stretching for longer than WWII. Many young soldiers who have enlisted to protect their country are now stuck in a country whose GDP is entirely dependent on heroin.

For many years this war was aimed at conquering a delusional fortress, which Mark Steyn and Donald Rumsfeld claimed was carved into the Afghan mountains. By the time it was discovered (shock horror) that this Blofeld style cave complex did not exist, the seven foot bearded nutter we were supposed to have caught fled to Pakistan, our ally.

Now our young soldiers are being killed and horrifically injured in a pointless 'nation building' effort combined with 'the war on drugs'. The end result is to stop Afghanistan from reverting to a theocratic fascism sustained by drug revenues.

Whilst most of us have lost hope in this long term goal, it would be a help if our pals in Afghanistan were not thoecratic fascists themselves.

I know that you and all leading politicians are far too cowardly to criticise the USA. But surely it wouldn't be impossible for us to save the life of a young student who has been sentenced to death for reading something the Afghan thought police disaprove of. Tell Mr Karzai that he can preside over this execution, but we will withdraw our soldiers if he does, then that may tip the scales slightly.

If he thinks that within weeks he'll be hanging from his heels with flies crawling in his mouth, he might actually be our ally in helping to install liberal values.

We the undersigned have put up with Britain's routine humilation at the hands of the USA for many years. But we draw the line at being humilated by Karzai's government.

Just a thought.

He dared to do something brave !!!! Are we brave enough to stand up for him?
