France to hold emergency meeting to avert future terror attacks

There is little worse than hypocrisy. The Western governments have for many years been engaged in the most crass form of hypocritical explanations of their actions, particularly in the Middle East. These governments pass laws which marks criticism of Jews as anti semetic and a criminal offence and yet defends criticism of Muslims as "Free speech". These governments condone the killing of thousands of Palestinians, men, women and children in Gaza with the cliche of "Israel has the right to defend itself". They defend the excesses and barbarism of the IDF in the occupied territories, demolishing homes, destroying crops and infrastructure and the killing of demonstrators as part of the "war on terror" preventing suicide bombers and "rocket attacks". The hypocrites of western governments promote division, bigotry and intolerance in order to advance their own perverse objectives. The great tragedy is that many people in the west are all too ready to accept warped hypocrisy as truth.

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...

Workers face ban on striking .

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.
