John Kerry. Hypocrite




The obscene hypocrisy of Kerry and the United States generally is as  breathtaking as it is nauseous. Kerry leaps in with open mouth to lecture the world that the " indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity". and "This international norm cannot be violated without consequences,".



Lebanon

Damascus


















 




To any right thinking person, it is ironically bizarre that when Israel violates the norm and attacks Gaza, or Lebanon or hundreds of other "targets" in the neighbouring countries generally and in the occupied territories of Palestine, the silence from Kerry and the Untied States is thunderous. White phosphorous (banned by International law when used against civilians) ,cluster bombs, depleted uranium and all the other evil paraphernalia of the Israeli war machine, is used indiscriminately against the civilian population of these locations regularly, killing thousands of men, women and children.





Gaza


Israel has carried out countless airstrikes and insurgencies in to Gaza, in addition to numerous invasions of neighbouring countries, each time killing hundreds or even thousands of civilians.  "Before Kerry or anyone else in the American administration, has the audacity to lecture the world on the "indiscriminate slaughter of civilians", they should look to their own record and their unquestioning support and acceptance of Israeli actions.

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.
