Guardian Unlimited | Guardian daily comment | Blair’s inner circle and its ferocious grab for power
The perverse fact is that we are being asked to place great trust in a government that makes a point of distrusting everyone outside its inner circle. If we don’t share their assumption that they alone know what is best for the rest of us, we had better start protesting now. Last year Blair promised to listen to us. As he dismantles our defences, what he is hearing is something close to silence.
It’s an excellent and I would say, non hyperbolic article. What it doesn’t tell me is what I’m supposed to do? I’ve joined campaigns, political parties, blogged, discussed things with friends, family and colleagues, written letters to my MPs (past and previous) and to government ministers, as well as leaders of political parties and papers, and none of it seems to make any difference.
The Cuban Women in white are inspirational – anyone for a clean T shirt and a stroll somewhere?

not promising it would stay white long in this family (mucky pups the pair of us!) but yep, I’d stroll.
