A combination of Mr Blunkett's new anti-terrorism laws and the fact that the poor blighters don't have EU passports, I should think.

I am also coming to suspect that the anti-Commonwealth thing with this government is actually part of a wider republican agenda. One of HM's last real roles within the constitution is as head of the Commonwealth; she mentions the Commonwealth in every speech and every troop review, she wears her 'non-British' insignia whenever she can, and, moreover, she is more or less the only person in public life who still gives the impression that the Commonwealth is the most important aspect of Britain's position in the world. In this context, they can undermine the Queen by destroying the Commonwealth, neatly getting rid of two huge barriers to Euro-Federalism.

Is this a weird conspiracy? Not, in my opinion, necessarily, as we have all seen that this government operates to secret agenda planned years in advance... like true Fabians, wearing down their enemy in tiny stages so that the enemy doesn't even realise that it is being attacked. Ave Fabius Strategus.

Let's hope the Conservatives have a more measured pace and realise that alienated your life-time allies and reducing the size of your army does not increase your security.
