Furthermore

Guantanamo and Blunkett

Ok, last one before bed. I wrote to my MP Anne Campbell last night (using FaxYourMP.com of course) to protest about the continuing detention of Britons in Guantanamo. I'm not too happy about anyone being there, but I figure it's better to start with the cases we have some vague influence over.

I also registered my unhappiness about Home Office proposals for secret terrorist trials and the possible lowering of the standard of proof in such cases. To my mind you can't win a fight against terrorism by giving up the liberties that make this a civilised country in the first place.

I doubt it will do much good - Mrs Campbell is good at responding to her mail, but in my experience the responses don't necessarily have much to do with the questions asked. Still, I figure I may as well use my democratic rights while I still have them :-)
