'[Note: potential trigger in first two paragraphs of original text] ...

People can be tracked down and prosecuted, but when governments commit murder, torture, or rape – on a massive scale – it's nearly impossible to seek justice. We’re on the verge of changing that!

More than 100 countries support a groundbreaking new UN treaty outlawing crimes against humanity. But powerful dictatorships like China and Russia are trying to stop it!

Insiders involved in the negotiations tell us that international pressure is the key to building a big enough majority to block the blockers.

The key UN committee meets in six weeks. If we can swing a few more countries, we can take the outcome out of the despots’ hands. So sign now and we’ll hand-deliver our voices to the delegates at the General Assembly!

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      He wasn't great when interviewed on Channel 4 News this evening either, but he may get some respite tomorrow with the breaking Nandy story.

      I was referring more to his performance at PMQs yesterday. It was quite a riot! Almost topped Mastermind

      Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.

      Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.
