Social Injustice
When Blair speaks about Social (In)justice, his hypocracy makes me angry. At the moment, he and his cronies are doing their utmost to deny and drag out the "rendition" affair, where people are taken to other countries (with the UK Govt's knowledge) and tortured. The Govt is charged with doing this, and are avoiding justice by default.
Compare this to an individual charged with a crime. If a suspect said to the police "I have no record of that crime being committed", how far would that get them? Nowhere. So where's the justice? It's a cliche, but true none-the-less: it's one rule for them one for us. If there were true social justice, the law would apply to all of us.
