Hypocrisy reigns supreme in Westminster.


Boris Johnson calls for demonstrations outside Russian embassy

The hypocrisy of conservative politicians, especially now of Boris Johnson, is breathtaking.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said he would “like to see demonstrations outside the Russian embassy” he also asks 'Where is the Stop the War coalition?"
It seems that demonstrations and those who take part in them are only acceptable when the object of the demo is one which the Tory party agree with and actually promote (an event so rare as to be almost a myth). At all other times, demonstrations are just politically motivated bandwagons (as per Oliver Letwin) organised by extremists and left wing militants (as per any conservative politician you may choose to ask) and are always attended by "Rent a Mob".

Tories were not interested, and were quick to condemn demonstrations by millions of people against the Poll Tax, or the preparations for the Iraq wars, or the invasion of Afghanistan, or the intervention in Libya, or the increases in University fees or a hundred and one other demo's which opposed government policies.
"Rent a Mob" only has respectability when the government of the day seeks to shroud their shabby hypocrisy with a veneer of credibility.

While on the subject of Conservative Party hypocrisy, consider for a moment, the latest hypocrite to crawl out of the woodwork of conservative central office. I refer of course to Andrew Mitchell, MP for Sutton Coldfield who has thrown his weight behind Boris Johnson and his calls for prosecutions and anti Russian demonstrations. However, the hypocrisy pours out of Mitchell when he vigorously supports Saudi Arabia and others, bombing civilians in Yemen, using British manufactured and supplied weapons, in their barbaric targeting of "rebels" in Sana'a and other "rebel" held areas.
It is clearly obvious that it is a war crime to target and bomb "rebels" when such "rebels" are attacked by Russian or Syrian forces, and yet it is perfectly acceptable to attack "rebels" when they are the as defined by the United States, United Kingdom Saudi Arabia etc as "bad rebels".

That is a fundamental problem when becoming engaged in another countries civil war. When so many different warring factions are involved, as in Syria, it is impossible to know which faction or factions to support. In Yemen supporting the Saudi Arabian led coalition with arms and logistical support is an indefensible policy which is blatantly more to do with making the arms manufactures and dealers even richer, that with resolving the conflict.


The fighting goes on, the humanitarian crisis grows worse as civilians are killed and hypocrisy reigns supreme in Westminster.

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

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
