Let's be clear what these statistics mean. This is the body count of Independence and politics.
To support let alone work for or with the political parties is to acquiesce in this body count and to have blood on your hands.
I hear many people including my own family talk about the futility of the individual effort and that BNP/BAL etc are the only options to take part in politics and to try to change things.
I don't accept that. It is morally repugnant.
All are guilty.
How red are your hands?
