Breathtaking hypocrisy.

John Kerry careful not to rule out return to UN for Syria resolution



                            






                                     



The hypocrisy of the whole clamour by the west to attack Syria is is nauseating, not only in the way that lies, distortion and half truth is being turned into "irrefutable evidence" but also in the complete disregard of equally obscene events in other countries. The fundamental difference is that the "obscene events" in other countries are evidenced, filmed, reported, photographed and proved without any shadow of doubt, but are totally ignored by "the west" generally and by the United States in particular.
Kerry said ""Those videos make it clear to people that these are real human beings, real children, parents being affected in ways that are unacceptable to anybody, anywhere by any standards, and the United States of America that has always stood with others to say we will not allow this this is not our values, it's not who we are."
Breathtaking hypocrisy. Perhaps Kerry and other American "leaders" believe that the world has not noticed or that in other cases the phrase "Well, that's different" has some sort of effect which justifies the killing of men, women and children. In Palestine generally and Gaza in particular, the Israeli army of occupation together with the Israeli air force, have been killing Palestinian men women and children for many years and have been using some of the most evil weaponry (short of nuclear, so far) ever devised by man, and much of which incidentally has been financed and supplied by the United States.
To ignore, as the west does on a daily basis, the killing of civilians in Palestine but argue hysterically for military intervention in Syria beggars belief, particularly when such intervention is "justified" by unproven myth and dubious "facts".
The hidden agenda for American aggression against Syria seems to justify any "selective outrage".

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...

Workers face ban on striking .

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/15/trade-unions-conservative-offensive-decades-strikes-labour?CMP=share_btn_fb     Tories launch biggest crackdown on trade unions for 30 years         The Labour party must oppose the continuing assault on ordinary people in this country. 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.

Just in time for the holiday season.

http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/10242948._No_go__for_motorists_in_May_as_parts_of_A35_are_set_for_closure/?ref=mr  Sections of A35 are set for closure in May David Groves from Connect will be in charge of the work on the A35    Road closures between Bridport and Honiton over ten days in May. It seems that many road closures and endless miles of traffic cones on each side of the workings, are always commenced during the holiday season. I know that there are valid reasons (?) why this particular work is scheduled for May (putting down a specialist surface that cannot be laid in moist conditions), but the chaos of diversions and hold ups is something many tourists, commuters and local residents are forced to endure in countless areas all over the country in the spring and summer months every year. Miles and miles of cones.   How often have vehicles crawled for miles past the "Lane ahead closed" markings only to find when ...
