Het kan altijd erger

Wie dacht dat het hier zo erg was met de politiek, dit bericht las ik in een nieuwsgroep over het Labour congres aan de andere kant van de Noordzee:

“Jack Straw was heckled today as he told the Labour party conference
Britain was in Iraq “for one reason only: to help the elected Iraqi
government build a secure, democratic and stable nation”.

A delegate, who was 82 years old and has been a Labour party member
for 60 years, was bundled out by security guards after he shouted,
“That’s a lie,” during the foreign secretary’s keynote conference
address.

…

A second delegate was expelled for complaining at the treatment of
the first heckler.

Mr Straw ignored the outburst, to add: “We can and will only remain
[in Iraq] with their consent.”
