Ignore the populace at your peril!

So, President Blair has decided that one million eight hundred thousand (give or take a few) signatories to a petition does not require a review of policy on road pricing.
I do hope he realises that if that many people turned up to vote for the Conservatives instead of Labor at the last election would almost certainly have mean that his party would be sitting in opposition right now (although I very much doubt he would still be in charge of it).
Beware Mr Blair, ignore the very people who vote for you at your peril.
However, the big problem for UK voters is, who else can you vote for? The Tories have already proven themselves to be untrustworthy in power, and I would be a little surprised if the UK populace fell for a "New Conservatives" trick like the one that Labor pulled off so effectively. After all, at least the Labor party actually changed their policies (and in doing so, became the real new conservatives). Where can the Conservative party go? Even further right, or do they try to take the middle ground? Somehow I can't really see them heading left any time soon.
That only really leaves the Liberals (the UKIP party is a joke right?). Well, to be honest, they have hardly endeared themselves to the majority of car drivers (remember, that's where I started this rant :-)) by suggesting a £6000 road tax...
And as far as general suitability to run a country, they are even less likely to be able too than Labor was all those years ago when they returned to power.
So, who can we vote for? I don't have the answer, sorry...

'Friendly fire' video unearthed

The Sun newspaper says it has obtained the cockpit video at the centre of a row over the "friendly-fire" death of a British soldier in Iraq.
An inquest into the death of Lance Corporal of Horse Matty Hull, 25, from Berks, was adjourned after the coroner said the tape was central to the case.
The MoD said it was classified "secret" by the US, so could not be released.

----

And so they are hunting for the person who leaked the video to the press. Personaly I say they should give them an award, surely it can't be legal to hide one's blunders in war by declaring them"secret"...

Or is this something our military do all the time?

Time to own up to our mistakes, after all if they are genuine, then the parties involved can't realy be held responsible, after all, the fog of war should only allow for mistakes, not the covering of them up afterwards.
