I saw an advert on the side of a bus today encouraging us to help stamp out tuberculosis. One of the reasons the disease is still an active concern here is that a lot of it has come into the UK over the past 20 years or so from asylum seekers from countries with high levels of TB. So we’ll incarcerate them like dangerous prisoners, we won’t let them work legally, we’ll generally strip their dignity, we’ll make it almost impossible for them ever to become official citizens unless they’re rich and can make substantial entry payments, and we’ll happily hunt down and deport people who’ve been living here peaceably for over a decade—but we won’t test them for TB when they first arrive because that might violate their human rights.

Your little widgety tracker thing? LJ placeholders replace it, so it shows up as a big ugly box on my friends page. You need to define the height and width. Replace:

with:

I like Mango's suggestion though.

Sorry, didn't realise. How's that?

Yup fine. And not your fault, they've messed up their coding for the embeds, it's not even HTML compliant, let alone XHTML standard, and they want me to pay them? I set up an account, but not sure I like the idea, might put a statcounter in somewhere at some point though.
