Killing in Cairo: the full story of the Republican Guards' club shootings

On the 8th July, 54 people were killed by the security forces, who stated at the time that these protesters had attempted to storm the Republican Guard compound in Cairo. The western media with a few exceptions, reported the events as part of their general support for the coup of July 3rd which overthrew President Mohammed Morsi. It now emerges that the truth of the events which took place outside the compound, differs significantly from the "official" version.

This article from "the Guardian" is an excellent piece of investigative journalism and demonstrates that not all journalists and newspapers are prepared to accept what governments, who are sympathetic and supportive of the coup conspirators, would have us believe. The western world (regardless of what they may say publicly) and the Egyptian military clearly would prefer a "Mubarak mk 2", government in Cairo, which explains why the new "interim President" and all other government appointees since the coup, are former Mubarak supporters or appointees.
The protests and the killings in Egypt continue in the wake of the military coup of the 3rd July. Yet over recent days, the media, specifically Sky News and BBC News, carry little if any coverage of the events in Cairo and elsewhere. London and Washington and the ruling Junta in Cairo, would prefer that only their versions of the truth are reported.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
