owl: Northern Ireland from orbit (home)
Just when I thought my opinion of the DUP couldn't sink any lower, they go and vote for the 42 day detention, helping it scrape in.

Does nobody remember how wonderfully internment worked last time?? Obviously the DUP were on the side that wasn't getting locked up without trial, but you'd think they might possibly have caught a clue looking at the results.

Of course, I doubt very much the vote was from conviction. Whatever they were bought for, I hope it was something good. I'll just be off to rearrange my proportional representation order for the next election.

For crying out loud, even the BNP are against 42 days! You know there's got to be something wrong whenever your MPs are less in favour of civil liberties than the neo-Nazis.
owl: Orange planet with moon. I think of it as Cyteen. (planet)
In more cheerful (for certain values of cheerful) news, look what Locus has announced (scroll down to January 2009):

Cherryh, C. J. • Cyteen II: Regenesis • (DAW, hc)


W00t!


Also, another possible lifeboat in case LJ goes belly-up. Looks interesting.
