Ashraf El-Kholy claimed that the large death toll was partly due to protesters killing each other.

Egyptian ambassador to the UK, Ashraf El-Kholy

The Egyptian ambassador to the UK, Ashraf El-Kholy, debases the very principle of diplomacy between nations. It is one thing for an Ambassador to present their country and events there in the best possible light, but quite another to blatantly distort truth and to defend the actions of a military dictatorship with hypocrisy and lies. The evidence and reportage of what happened in Cairo and other towns throughout Egypt yesterday, was displayed on television screens and in first hand reports around the world. It would be impossible for the media, except perhaps State television in Egypt, to ignore or minimise the events in Nasr City and the indiscriminate killing of what is now believed to be more than 700 men women and children, during barbaric actions by the military.

Yet the Ambassador would have us accept that the military "did not use excessive force" and were merely defending themselves. This man is nothing more than a mouthpiece for a junta in power from their coup, and disgrace to the principle of diplomatic relations between the countries of the world. He should be declared as "person non grata" and deported from this country forthwith.

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 one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.
