What happened to us?

What happened to us?

What  has happened to the British people? We used to be a subversive unruly lot who would never embrace  the absurdity and puffed-up insipidness of government. If we didn't like what we heard, we would tell them. Have thirteen years under the boot of pretend-Socialism finally broken our spirit? Have we taken-on the dull-eyed pallor and mindless [...]

Blair ne regrette rien

Blair ne regrette rien

  Sometimes history slips out of buff government folders and falls into the rough-and-tumble of current affairs, creates an impression, is rewritten and is quietly replaced in its folder - but not this time. I missed the (almost) live feed of Tony Blair's appearance at the Chilcot Iraq Inquiry and my subsequent viewing of  a recording of the [...]

Blair escape

One again Tony Blair has done his Houdini act but the fault is not his. He was badly questioned and his uncompromising stance was unsurprising because it was his only option. You must also remember that when we elect our leaders, we are delegating difficult decision-making to them. We elect them to make difficult decisions which will not always [...]

Kurds get their Way

 "I look nothing like him!" In Iraq, Chemical Ali - real name Ali Hassan al-Majid who is a cousin of the late Saddam Hussein, has been sentenced to death. Again. Fourth time lucky, perhaps.  Ali has already been sentenced to death three times. This time he has been convicted and sentenced for the 1988 attack on Halabjah. 5000 Kurds died when [...]

FROM THE CAVE

A tape said to be from al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has warned US President Barack Obama there will be more attacks if the US continues to support Israel.

In the newly released audio tape aired on al-Jazeera, Bin Laden says the US will never live in peace until there is "peace in Palestine".

The authenticity of the audio tape has not been verified.

The message claims al-Qaeda was behind the 25 December attempt to blow up a passenger plane bound for the US.

A Nigerian man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been charged with attempting to blow up the Delta Airlines plane as it approached Detroit from Amsterdam.

The voice recording says that the message is from "Osama to Obama".

When a government agency wants to silence someone, they don't do it by issuing Clinic Dignitas vouchers. They go Route 1.

Global Storming

The really big lie about man-made global warming is that almost all scientists accept it.
More than 4,000 scientists from 106 countries, including 72 Nobel prize winners, signed the Heidelberg Appeal (1992), calling for a rational scientific approach to environmental problems.
Many senior scientists have also supported The Statement by Atmospheric Scientists on Greenhouse Warming (1992), The Leipzig Declaration (1997),the Oregon Petition (1998) which received the signatures of over 19,000 scientists and the Manhattan Declaration (2008) remains one of the most ignored climate-change documents ever.
