Last night on channel 4 in the UK was a documentary on Mark Kennedy. The undercover cop that infiltrated the protest movement in the UK and Europe. We saw how the state uses arseholes like Kennedy to gather information on those who actually care about their community and the injustices that the capitalist system continues to perpetuate. We heard how he joined different groups across Europe and once in a position to obtain information about various actions he passed them back to to the enforcement agencies. This was entrapment. All time he was living a lie he wasn't that nice activist people thought he was but an instrument of the state. We heard how he has now lost his job, has no family and no prospects and spends his days racked with guilt. He should have thought about that before he he did what he did. His actions led to protesters being jailed, his actions led to people losing their liberty, his actions led to people being hurt. He deserves every thing that happens to him we should have no sympathy, he's lucky that he's still in one piece. For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
This week we also learnt that former prime ministers Thatcher, Major and Blair have claimed over £1.7 million in expenses in the last five years. Under rules set up by Major in 1991 the ex PMs are able to claim a public duties costs allowance (as if they don't earn enough).How has Thatcher, given that she is nearly dead been able to claim £535,000 from the fund is a joke!! Blair who earns millions from speaking engagements, consultation to dictators and his memoirs since leaving office in 2007, has claimed £273,000 from the public purse ( yours and my money) and who says the world is fair!! Hang them!!
