A solution was never an option.

Peace talks in Geneva are on the verge of collapse,




UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi




Did anyone really expect anything to come as a result of these "peace talks"?
The FSA and the other 1001 rebel groups, are fighting with each other for control of regions of Syria and have wildly divergent social, political and economic aims. The only factor which they have in common is the objective of removing Bashar al-Assad from power.
The only objective that America and the United Kingdom has, is regime change in Damascus and to this end, both are determined to launch a campaign of military intervention as soon as the climate of public opinion at home allows. With this objective, the politicians of both countries have embarked on a propaganda assault, enthusiastically taken up by the television and media, demonising Assad and thereby seeking to justify economic and military support for whichever element of the "rebel forces" are most useful to the long term regional aspirations of the "western powers".
The "Geneva 2 Peace talks" were never destined to achieve any solution to the civil war in Syria since the rebel elements in attendance, represent only a fraction of the opposition forces in the country and the western inspired pre-conditions of the creation  of a transitional government with no place for Assad, completely frustrates any negotiating position that the Syrian government side may have.
Geneva 2, is and has been a complete waste of time, effort and money and was created simply to allow Kerry, Hague and the rest to claim that they tried and that failure to resolve the civil war was entirely the fault of the regime in Damascus and the west must now consider the military option.

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 ...
