Charlie Brooker has pulled his finger out of his bottom and produced this splendid article.
Brooker spits vitriol better than most people, and this time it's against the politicians who have led us into an illegal war, and condoned and aided in the torture of terrorism suspects thereby undermining our democratic and legal system (making martyrs out of potential mass murderers in the process). The politicans who helped create a culture where it's acceptable for the government to spy on it's own people, and where the general populace is treated with absolute, utter contempt.

Never in a million years did I think that the Labour government (or New Labour, as it is now) would be such an insidiously awful administration. I deeply regret giving them my vote.
At least with the Tories you know what you're getting: they're a bunch of snakes who will stab you in the back as soon as look at you. You'd have to be out of your mind to vote them in.
But New Labour were wolves in sheeps clothing. They decieved and betrayed the electorate and have morphed into a morally and financially bankrupt government. And now I can't figure out which one is worse.
