More on human rights in China

Did anyone, apart from the idiots in the IOC, really think that the Chinese government would honour their promise to improve its dismal human rights record and allow greater media freedom if it were allowed to host the Games? It appears that with just months to go before the Olympic games start, the Chinese government has started another crackdown on campaigners for democracy and has introduced even more intrusive surveillance equipment. Am I alone in thinking that our beloved Labour government maybe heading down the same route as the Chinese government in the run up to 2012? After all who could argue with the government bringing in extra security measures to protect the Olympics from harm?
