John Reid has spoken and as ever it’s a memorable one liner.
“Great Britain will opt out of human rights.” he suggested. He even threw in the old ‘fighting a war with one hand tied behind ya back’ line a few days ago, normally heard when a dumb war they started, goes pear shaped or when policemen decide to create laws at whim on the street.

His Mitchellesque delivery confirmed him as the hard man of British politics cos people wot like footie and stuff understand ‘im.
Unfit for purpose, maybe, but he likes a good soundbite just as much as the next man. Guy Ritchie could really use a guy like him.

New stop and search measures for no apparent reason was a good one too. Sounds like the eighties all over again, build up resentment and watch it explode up and down the country. Ahh the Brixton riots… fond memories of emptied streets and days off school.
Oh well, I suppose they are trying to be more like the French in their home policies after letting the Jihadist kids run riot in the U.K before clamping down hard and beefing up security post 7:7. But its Gordon Brown who should be beefing up his security. With old Stalinists like Reid hovering in the halls of power he better not go hill walking anytime soon.
