Chnese Minders for the Torch

I am really uncomfortable with the idea of the Chinese bringing in their own henchmen to supervise the torch on its procession through our streets. Who were they, and who said they could be here? I strongly suspect they were soldiers, so who knows whether any of them have been involved in the slaughter of innocent Tibetans?

Dalai Dillying

Am I the only one who thinks the lack of a decision over whether Gordon Brown should meet the Dalai Lama is a disgrace? It is a no brainer, China are in the wrong over Tibet and meeting the Dalai Lama will make that message plain and clear.

We all now that our Gordon is a ditherer, but procrastinating over this meeting in the vain hope that you might be able to avoid upsetting China is taking things a bit far.
