George Galloway reminded the House of Commons that Britain has been bombing Iraq for a hundred years, including the use of chemical weapons in the 1920s.

Galloway proposed strengthening the Peshmerga and regional powers like Iran and Turkey instead of Western intervention.

A massive expense scandal involving British Ministers of Parliament leads to calls for a Scotland Yard investigation into data leaks.

The controversy centers on the misuse of taxpayer funds for personal household and entertainment costs.

The UK Home Office, led by Jackie Smith, included American radio host Michael Savage on a list of individuals banned from entering the country.

UK Home Secretary Jackie Smith announced a strategy to train 60,000 citizens to respond to terrorist threats in public spaces like shopping centers and hotels. The hosts interpret this as an open move toward a surveillance state where neighbors are encouraged to spy on one another.

Conservative Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green was arrested and interrogated for nine hours following leaks of sensitive government information to the press.

The police search of Green's homes in London and Kent is characterized as an outrageous overreach against a member of Parliament.

UK Home Secretary Jackie Smith is actively promoting the rollout of national ID cards, starting with airport workers.
