At the time of Maastricht, we were assured that those who envisaged a Federal or Unites States of Europe were 'mistaken'. AN OUTRIGHT LIE.

How then can we trust our politicians to act in our interests.

We cheered the fall of Communism and it's Cental State Control.

Now what are we doing? Central State Control in SPADES, not even by our own Governments, and we are impotent to do anything about it because the politicians won't listen to us the people, only Big Business who will likely have unfettered powers in the brave new world.

Encreasing there is a move towards a presumption of guilt, innocence to be proved, at a cost, and Civil offences continuely being changed into Criminal offences.

Only those with deep pockets, and their lawyers, can hope to survive the rigours of the future. For the rest, justice will be like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, unattainable.

State sponsored blackmail will be prevalent and and the fear, aways written about in Science Fiction, will prevail in our (children and grand children's) lives, and, of course, Big Brother will know all. I.D cards are just the thin edge of the wedge here and the Politicians are LYING to us again.

Meanwhile Arica continues to suffer great deprevations while our self centred and self indulgent world looks on and even exacerbates it.

So much more could be said.
