Recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, destroys the "Two State" solution.

Trump confirms US will recognise Jerusalem as capital of Israel.

A stupid, provocative and bigoted announcement from an opinionated megalomaniac and dangerous man who demonstrates a complete ignorance of the complexities of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.  His decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel attempts to appease an estimated 8.7 million people in one small country, but at the same time alienates billions of others around the world. His press conference yesterday at 1pm American Time, has destroyed any prospect of a "Two State" solution or any other kind of settlement and has ensured that fighting and resistance to Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and East Jerusalem will continue and intensify as resentment to on going occupation and the expansion of illegal settlements accelerates in the coming months and years.

In one brief statement and signing of the Presidential Order, Trump has thrown his weight behind one side of the dispute and forever destroyed any claim for the United States to be an "honest broker", for Middle East Peace. Within minutes of Trump announcing this madcap intention, countries of the world were uniting in condemnation of the harebrained perilous promise. China, Russia, United Kingdom, France, Jordan, Syria, Vatican and others including the Palestinian authorities. Trump has confirmed his intention to drive this world into armed conflict with his constant flow of provocative policies and announcements. His intentions for North Korea, Syria, Iran and numerous other theatres testify that Trump is a threatening bully who's ignorance and self importance is a danger to the whole world.

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.
