british laws and regulations

"One of the things I think we have to reconsider in a modern world - and I accept it can be fraught with danger - is the notion that the world should stand idly by no matter what is happening, no matter who is persecuting what."
Margaret Beckett 05.01.07 The Moral of the Story
Asked in the same interview whether the moral imperative for invading Iraq and the removal of Saddam Hussein still held true:
Yes, I would say that it does...
Margaret Beckett on comments by Boris Berezovsky (2 months later):
I am aware of comments alleged to have been made by Boris Berezovsky ... appearing to call for the overthrow of the current Russian Government by force. I deplore such sentiments. We expect everyone living or working in, or visiting the UK, whatever their status, to observe our laws and regulations. The Home Office will now seek to collate full information on the alleged comments so that a review and full assessment can be made.
hmm... I think he failed to understand something about our laws and regulations.
Strangely, the Home Office does not seem to be collating full information on the alleged overthrow of the government of IRAQ (by force). Perhaps because this has already happened. Ms Beckett has her own view on the usefulness of such a review:
...of course it is perfectly sensible and legitimate to say that there will come a time when these issues will be explored in the round and in full, so that we can learn whatever lessons we can from them—but ... why this specific inquiry, and much more to the point, why now?
