                         The roads into London 

Seeking the whole unvarnished truth at all times before 
they act is something that most governments (and some 
generals) say they do. But rarely complete in practice.

For instance : Whereas James Maudsley was from "up north",
and was not well known and popular and did not have as much 
access to the capital's publicity machine as  those previously
non activist friends of Rachel Goldwyn in west London who are 
now calling the Burma Out! office every day. 

Quite independently of the prisoners and of Burma Out. 
Londoners here have started to "get Rachel busy". The roads 
entering the west of the capital are covered in Rachel posters 

10s of 1000s of British people are reading them this morning as 
they drive to work

And whereas these two independent and unusually brave
prisoners are pacifists, there are some local residents here,
who are not.  .

The British populace, this nation,  is rapidly learning that  the 
Burmese junta are a bunch of old fashioned drug dealing neo 
nationalistas who hate the British, (for any old reason at all)..
 
And this strangely short sighted move to imprison two Brit activists, 
who are not part of any wider struggle, may just be a "junta bridge 
too far" . At least for the junta fan "vulnerables" living in London.

And as for the junta fanz, in this beautiful and mainly peaceful area, 
I am concerned that the postings that follow are uncomfortably true in
essence, although as yet not in practice

The reasons for this is that unlike all Americans, who sometimes 
preach that hate groups and nazis should have the "freedom of the 
'net" so they can be "monitored" (by whom one may ask?) ).. 
Many of these, Rachel angry Londoners, are  descended from 
those who underwent years of Nazi bombing.  And although they 
may not understand the nuances of modern far right politics in 
the]far east. They are bright enough to know that the Burmese 
junta is a nazilike racist killing machine without mercy nor care.

And that seems to have made some already "anti pacifista" 
multi-racial Londoners extra angry..

All "pacifism begins at home".. In this case in anally retentive 
Rangoon. But the same style of pacifism being practiced in 
Rangoon is gradually transfering itself abroad.  And it is not 
so far away from playing into the already bloodied hands of 
the Brit racist movements. Those which may have interested the 
racist nasties of colonialism such as the right winger and author 
of "Animal Farm", the late George Orwell.  Who once "served" in 
Burma and who if alive today could look to such places and people 
as the London junta fan areas,  to take out his misbegotten racist 
spleen...

                               Karma huh? 

                             Anyone know? 

        (Have the general's ever heard of the word?)
