Jeremy Hunt leaps onto the American bandwagon

No 'credible evidence' of Iran role in tanker attacks.

Jeremy Hunt, one of the conservative party leadership candidates, blindly follows the lead of the United States, in blaming Iran for the attacks on the two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. Trump, Bolton and the British government are determined to wage war against Iran using any excuse regardless of the evidence. Hunt condemns Jeremy Corbyn for calling on our government to abstain from escalating tensions with Iran without “credible evidence”. A reasoned and responsible view to express in seeking verifiable proof before rushing into the clamour to blame Iran. Hunt on the other hand  jumps onto the American band wagon tweeting " “Pathetic and predictable,“From Salisbury to the Middle East, why can he (Corbyn) never bring himself to back British allies, British intelligence or British interests?”

Hunt and some others may wish to rush lemming like to "stand shoulder to shoulder" with the United States but that is what happened before the Iraq invasion which killed hundreds of thousands of people without a shred of "evidence", except that created by the Americans to justify the war. 

Corbyn says that  “Britain should act to ease tensions in the Gulf, not fuel a military escalation that began with US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement".

The hysterical rantings of Hunt demonstrate why he must never be allowed into Number 10.

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
