THE GOVERNMENT WAS WARNED

09.12.07, 9:30am

The government was warned.

How often have we heard this?

Unfortunately for the rest of us, governments tend not to take any action until the "lessons will be learned" stage. And, by then of course, it's too late.

I've been warning the government for quite some time. I warned them about immigration, I wanred them about Iraq, I warned them about cuddling up to Big Business and the Globalists, I warned them about George Bush and the Neocons, I warned them about the Russian Oligarchs, I warned them political correctness, I warned them about lots and lots of stuff.

But, far from being pleased with my warnings, they began to warn me in return!

This, however, is the one thing that the New Labour government and myself have in common.

We don't listen when people we don't like are warning us.

If you want to know what kind of things I have warned the government about in respect of, for example, immigration, take a look at Rogues Gallery at the iamanenglishman wen site.
