... a group of us found classified files in the Public Record Office in London, which revealed just how the American and British governments had conspired to expel the entire population of this British colony, all of them British citizens, and dumped them in the slums of Mauritius 1,000 miles away and how the deal was set up. Britain got $14 million off the cost of a Polaris submarine as a thank you for giving them the Chagos islands... The expulsion was done with coercion, with trickery.

A Green Party activist, was searched and then arrested at the entrance to the Climate Camp ... for alleged 'possession of a controlled substance'.

He was handcuffed and taken away by the police to Medway Police Station in Gillingham, where he was put into a windowless cell without proper drinking water or toilet facilities for the next five hours. His fingerprints and thumbprints were taken, and a DNA swab from his mouth, thus putting him onto the national police database.

Only after nearly five hours was the substance in question actually tested by the police and found to be, as Mr Wootton had explained from the start, vitamin C.

Do you still think you should be supporting this war because of some aim that's being pursued and so things wouldn't get worse? Things cannot get worse. We have lost all sense of the morality and restraint we were taught in less tumultuous times, and something more vile and loathsome than we could ever imagine has erupted from the murkiest depths of our souls.
