I find it incredible that Brown has gone through with the 42 days retention bill.

Now I look for a credible alternative to Labour.

The sad thing is that at the moment I don't find one.

I really feel shattered.

Thankfully I have some sane friends around me that reassure me that there are many in Britain who haven't lost their principles and respect for human beings.
