Basically China is a whore being courted by the corrupt, so there's no way it feels a need to change it's behaviors, why should it when it has what all the big businesses want - TRADE

Re: Tibet, China and the Olympics

Well when you have a massive population and no protection for workers it is easy to undercut the opposition in trade.

It pretty much looks like it will continue throughout the whole sorry buisness, now all we need is for countries to boycott the games all together.

I see Gordon is boycotting the opening ceremony, so there is hope yet.

Well having been shown to be a liar, regarding the CONstitution, and dithering over Northern Rock, he needs something, but somehow I think he's beyond redemption, the Labour party need a new leader.

They won't get one anytime soon, as there's no real talent waiting in the wings.

This all reminds me so much of the Major years of 1991-97 - that was a knackered out government led by an unpopular, dither-prone PM as well. If history repeats itself, Gordo will cling on until the last minute to watch ol Dave Macaroon romp to victory.
