Chilcot Report delayed (again) this time by American obstruction

US blocks publication of Chilcot’s report on how Britain went to war with Iraq 

 


George Bush with Tony Blair


 
This is outrageous. The Americans already have an totally unhealthy influence on British politics and on "our" foreign policy. To now allow a conspiracy by the pro Blair/Bush camp, still dominant in the UK and in the States, to stifle and suppress a British judicial report into how and why this country went to war in Iraq, demonstrates the extent to which our government and its duplicitous politicians are totally dominated by and subservient to America and the American State department.
The arrogance of America in its attitude towards and treatment of other nations, has for many years been breathtaking. They clearly consider themselves to have some divine right to dictate to any other nation on the planet, how to conduct their affairs in order to meet American objectives and ideals.



14 iraq r w Where is Chilcots Iraq inquiry report?
Where is the Chilcot Report?




Whatever the revelations Chilcot Report may contain, it is not for the Americans to determine what may or may not be part of the contents. The British government should tell the State Department to "Go to hell". However, that is unlikely to happen because of the "Special Relationship" (which actually only exists in the imagination of some politicians in any case.)

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 ...

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...
