Governments should be scared of us, NOT the other way round!

Even though the governments are meant to be FOR the people, WORKING FOR the people, they don't want to listen to anything we want. Even when they promise that if a motion gets 100,000 signatures they will debate it in Parliament, no-one is surprised by the resulting absence of response/debate. If you're going to lie at least do it properly! Granted some of the views of the majority are astoundingly misguided e.g. calls for the restoration of the death penalty or leaving the EU, some are sound, yet are still ignored. Of course it goes deeper than that, it even goes deeper than the so far released Wiki cables. The governments of the world were up in arms over diplomatic conversations going public. Excuse me but the last time I checked governments were working FOR US, so why do we not have the right to know what's really going on?? or at the very least know what you really think about one another (see Saudi on bombing Iran). Is anyone put on trial for the murders of the Reuters journalists, the civilians and the children killed in that infamous Wikileaks video? What exactly are the results of exposing their conversations and war crimes?

The solitary confinement and mental torture of Bradley Manning, the absurd extradition of Julian Assange and the shutdown of Wikileaks through forcing the massive companies in the world (Visa, Paypal, Apple etc) to withdraw any Wikileaks finance or material. Wikileaks was meant to make the governments face the reality but instead its the exposer who suffers.

Western powers and even the Arab League, pause for a minute, the ARAB LEAGUE, a host of dictators, people oppressors and human rights abusers, seemingly support other nation's fight for freedom. JUST NOT THEIR OWN nations. This selective support is unbelievably hypocritical, and no-one is fooled that this posturing has more to do with ease, security concerns, allies, business interests and so forth.

Are the blood and dignity of the citizens of Libya and Syria more worthy of governmental support than those of Yemen and Bahrain? And there are other countries, especially in the Gulf, that also MUST be fighting for freedom, but we do not hear about it or it quickly disappears from the news.

Although the Eurozone crisis and mass unemployment is taking over the headlines, we must remember that economic justice and social justice go hand in hand. While protests are being suppressed all over the world, please do not be deterred even in the land of lie-down Britain (see Sleepwalking blog). We must do whatever we can because this is OUR lives that are in the hands of the few, our governments, and by proxy the rich. The fight for justice must continue, whether it's with your heart, mouth or hand* (or twitter) and we cannot be the ones left behind.
