Mentally ill Briton faces Execution Comments please


A group of drug smugglers took advantage of man's mental state and convinced him to smuggle their drugs. The Chinese government are now threatening to execute him, for smuggling drugs.

Like the elderly and like children, people with mental health problems are vulnerable to being exploited and mistreated. And likewise the civility of a society is measured by its treatment of its most vulnerable members

Yes this man was smuggling heroin, but was not in a fit state to look after himself properly. Stephen Fry has spoken out about it, so should doctors, psychiatrists and those who care about people with mental health difficulties

This are details of how to contact the Chinese Embassy to protest about this treatment

Chinese Embassy Address: 49-51 Portland Place London W1B 1JL
Madam Fu Ying: Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to the United Kingdom Mr. Chen Xiaodong:Minister of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China
Mr.Zhang Lirong: Minister Counsellor of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China


If you leave comments below, I will print them off and take them to the Chinese Embassy in person, on Friday. There is not a lot of time, because his execution is imminent

Paralympics opening ceremony - Bejing





Who else found the Bejing Paralympics Opening Ceremony a little weird? Thousands of multicoloured little fetuses making funny aimless little movements?

On the one hand, the Chinese have made great efforts to make the Paralympics at least a shadow of the Olympics, on the other hand, it was bizarre. The artistry of the Olympics Opening Ceremony had become sinister. This was a pageant of thousands of distressed little souls, nameless, unidentifiable, colour coded and numbered. Maybe its only my imagination but who were these childlike people? without faces or identities known only by a colour and a number.

The Olympics showed us the glory of Chinese unity. Thousands of drummers drummed to a single beat, giving us the collective history of China. The Olympic rings lifted off as a giant globe of the Earth appeared. And as the sphere rose up into the stadium the world changed from blue oceans and green continents to a uniform Chinese Red.

Meanwhile, the Paralympics brought us helpless, infantalised teletubbies.

Is this China's vision for the future? We have been warned.
