Sanctions hit the sick and elderly..



 Hundreds of thousands of Iranians with serious illnesses have been put at imminent risk by the  consequences of international sanctions.

 

Iran unable to get life-saving drugs





Sanctions imposed on Iran and instigated by Israel and the United states, are without doubt the greatest act of hypocrisy that the western world has indulged in for decades. Lacking proof or justification, Israel, who has never signed the non proliferation treaty despite having a significant arsenal of nuclear weapons, and the United States, which has a nuclear capability sufficient to destroy this planet hundreds of times over, are inflicting pain and hardships on the ordinary people of Iran, and the rest of the "International Community" is blindly joining in this barbaric infliction of collective punishment. The propaganda, dis information and blatant lies of Israel and the United States, has led to the acceptance of the "Iranian threat" myth by many people in the west whose thoughts and opinions are now driven by fear rather than logic. This tactic has been employed many times in the past to justify some act of aggression or military intervention to meet a hidden agenda and to gain acceptance or some semblance of credibility with the public. People in the west are sleepwalking into a nightmare engineered in Washington and Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the people of Iran are living the nightmare of shortages in food, essential drugs and other supplies as did the people of Iraq previously and of other nations before and since. With a few notable exceptions, blanket sanctions have never worked to bring about the result so craved by the west. When the majority of a nations population support the actions of their government the evidence suggests that they are more likely to endure the privations of sanctions and develop a growing determination to resist.

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 ...
