What a great photo. Here we have protesters being man-handled by the London police force as track-suited Chinese goons look on. So much for human rights and freedom of speech. Whatever happened to the 'ethical foreign policy'?
Brown and his New Labour cronies (and Bliar before him) bang on about human rights. We removed Saddam because he was very bad and did horrid things to his own people (good excuse after we couldn't find WMDs).
Yet we invite Chinese diplomats to London, court party officials in Beijing and celebrate (!) the Olympics being given to them to host.
Let us not forget the Chinese regime is authoritarian, brutal, Communist in name, anti-democratic, and border-line genocidal in many of its dealings with ethnic groups within China (such as Tibet).
Yet we welcome them with open arms, while we bomb the shit out of Saddam's regime and have him hung.
Guess that is Realpolitik - one has a huge army & nuclear weapons, the other just pretended to have them.
Shame on those ministers (such as Jowell) trying to justify this debacle
