http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/keeping-trident-stops-nuclear-blackmail-claims-crossparty-commission-9570682.html Keeping Trident 'stops nuclear blackmail,' claims cross-party commission. "Trident Commission" Arrant nonsense from the "Trident Commission" (a cross-party commission led by two former defence secretaries and a former leader of the Liberal Democrats.). The Trident nuclear deterrent is not "independent" and it doesn't deter, so we may as well save the money to spend on more important things. NHS, schools, eliminating the need for food banks for example.

The war  would have taken place sooner or later, even if Princip had not fired the fatal bullets. In fact the assassination may not have taken place at all had the driver taken the correct route and had not been ordered to stop and reverse right opposite to where Princip was standing, following the first failed attempt by the other conspirators earlier that day. Chance hangs on such slender threads. Gavrilo Princip The prime cause of the Great War was the Austro-Hungarian Empire and its determination to attack Se...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/uk-edges-closer-to-an-eu-exit-as-cameron-crushed-in-bid-to-block-jeanclaude-junckers-leadership-9568749.html Britain closer to EU exit after Jean-Claude Juncker vote.     Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb       Alexander Stubb, the Finnish Prime Minister, said British voters should "wake up and smell the coffee" Patronising Bastard. No matter what side of the pro or anti EU membership argument you happen to be on, we do not need lessons on how we should think from the Finnish Prime minister who in fact has only been the Finnish PM since the 24th June in any case! Only 4 days into the job and he is telling us to smell the coffee. . He would be better employed getting used to enjoying the "freebie" lunches and "working" dinners of the of the EU (of which there are many)

Every pensioner, disabled person, benefit claimant, widow, un employed family, minimum wage employee, zero hour contract worker, and countless other categories of people, would also "like more". The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of people in this country have to make do with what they have, due primarily to "My government", (Buckingham Palace speak for the ConDem coalition) and their dogmatic drive for cuts and austerity. The vast majority of people in this country do not have private income from the "Royal estates" or from "the Duchy" of somewhere or other, or from other dubious sources (including the winnings from racehorses out of the Royal Stables). If the Windsor...

Vince is on the case. He will deal with these miscreant Scottish Power people in the same way as he has dealt with all the other privatised power companies that have been ripping people off for the past 30 years. He will take up this long running and still outstanding "cashback promises" matter with Scottish Power, as he has attacked other malpractices in respect of exorbitant price hikes, failure to pass on reductions in wholesale prices of energy, bad service, complicated pricing structures etc. Cable and other gang members on government front bench Vince can be relied on to sort out the problem. He can also be relied on to give away public assets at knock down prices to his friends in the city and to e...

Swiss zoo kills baby bear because father "bullied" it. A perfectly healthy baby bear, killed by a Zoo simply because the bear was being "bullied". Barbaric, callous and completely unnecessary and to add insult, the corpse is being stuffed to "teach visitors that nature can be very cruel". It is the zoo's that are cruel, nature "if left alone by the interfering greed of man", provides balance.

Uruguay’s captain, Diego Lugano,"Did not see" the incident and also does not see "what all the fuss is about" (and other inane observations) and should be banned from any form of football for life, if only for being an ignorant idiot. Uruguay’s football association screams that the bite marks on Chiellini’s shoulder,had been Photoshopped from the internet to discredit the player and the Uruguay team. Uruguay’s football association should be expelled from FIFA for the period of the next 20 World Cup competit...

This time they attack disabled and pensioners. The time is not too far off when they will attack everyone in the name of "the fight against terrorism".

http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/11298070.ECHO_INVESTIGATES__Food_bank_users_soar/#commentsList  The numbers of people reliant on foodbanks, continues to grow. More than i million people now rely on foodbanks.   The "forgotten" scandal of  the effect of the cuts and other austerity measures of this wretched ConDem coalition government. As other news has filled our headlines for some months, the plight of those who now rely on the distribution of food to feed themselves and their families has been pushed to the back pages or even ignored by the press and media. It is now reported that the number pf people reliant on foodbanks in Weymouth has increased fourfold in the last 12 months. In the South west generally, there has been a 78% increase in the number of foodbank users and nationally, the figure is even higher with now more than 1 million people regularly receiving food assistance from the Trussel Trust and the other foodbank providers. In this the 21st...

This verdict and the resulting sentences has nothing to do, as has been suggested elsewhere, with some dispute between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, except perhaps in the sense that Egypt lost funding from Qatar which, in any case, was replaced by Saudi Arabia, following the coup of July last year. This latest episode of the Egyptian show trial pantomime, continues the sequence of judicial power being used to suppress freedoms and to quash opposition. This time, the message has been circulated to all journalists that you may report what you will, but you will only report what we allow.   Journalists jailed fo...

Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner The press, the "establishment" and the television media continue to pour out hysterical nonsense regarding the "threat" to this country from "Jihadists", "Radicalised" Islamists, "Brainwashed" Terrorists, Extremists and all the other cliche ridden descriptions, emanating from "veterans " returning from Syria and "who are intent on carrying out terrorist attacks here". The purpose of these lurid tales of impending doom for the population in this country, is to ensure a mindset of fear and mistrust prevails in ordinary people, and that the overriding desire for renewed intervention in the Middle East still very much to the forefront of many politicians, both here and in the United St...

The 173rd Day of 2014.   Yesterday was the 21st June. The Summer Solstice, the longest day of 2014 and the day on which Pagans, Druids and others congregate at Stonehenge to greet the dawn. Today of course, is June 22nd when, as from today, the days become shorter and the moods of many people begin to decline at a rapidly increasing rate, due primarily to the lack of daylight. This assault on, compounded sometime in October, (they cant even find a standard date upon which to carry out this sabotage on people) when some faceless bureaucrat, instructs everyone in the United Kingdom to “Put your clocks back by 1 hour tonight”. No please or thank you or any of the other polite niceties of civilised behaviour, just an arbitrary “Do it”. I do detest the ritual autumn fiddling with our clocks, watches and body clocks. They should be left on BST. The progression from now until the 21st December will be ticked off on calendars by many every day, and as the ev...

      http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/21/roy-hodgson-build-better-stronger-england-costa-rica  The standards of refereeing need looking at too. I gave up playing football some years ago.(My brain knew where I should be, but my legs will not get me there quickly enough). I gave up watching football when it became abundantly clear that money had become infinitely more important than skill, talent and ability. At one time, admittedly many years past, players would have pulled on an England shirt, simply for the honour of paying for their country. Now, it seems, the first consideration often appears to be the question of settling the fee for "appearance". It is also, abundantly clear that the media and vast sections of the country, consider that England can/will/should win every competition trophy that they qualify for. When this does not happen, the media certainly, treat everyone to the "I told you so" ...
