William Hague: Syria is preparing to use chemical weapons

The "evidence" that Syria is preparing to use chemical weapons emanates from military and intelligence sources. These are the same “unnamed military intelligence sources”, who Robert Fisk, writing in the Independent today (Saturday 8th December 2012), describes under the acronym UMIS, that informed and warned the whole world that Saddam Hussein had, and was preparing to use, weapons of mass destruction, there after referred to as WMD. It is because of the UMIS that the credibility of people like Hague, Obama, Clinton, Cameron and before them, Cheney, Bush, Rice and not forgetting the one and only Blair, are completely destroyed in the eyes of the vast majority of the public. It is similar to the old fable of the "Boy who cried Wolf", in the case of the UMIS the motives are far more sinister. For more than twenty years, successive western governments have been embarked on a systematic "propaganda war". This is just the latest perceived threat which, when the time is right, justify whatever actions Washington, followed blindly by London, will deem to be necessary. We have seen it all before. The hidden agenda of the west is slowly being revealed as the "evidence" from the UMIS so greedily absorbed and repeated by the politicians , becomes more and more inconceivable. Their problem of course is that more and more people are recognising the "evidence" as an implausible fabrication.

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...

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 ...

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...
