North Korea sending weapons to Syria?

North Korea shipping prohibited chemical, ballistic missile and conventional arms to the Bashar al Assad regime in Syria, in total defiance of "the international community" (aka United States and United Kingdom, shoulder to shoulder and all that belicose nonsense).
Now the United States and with the United Kingdom in tow, have the perfect opportunity to do what they have been longing to do for the past six or seven years and invade Syria to effect regime change in Damascus and replace the Bashar al Assad government with one more likely to do as they are told by Washington and the American neocons.At the same time, "the West" (aka United States again) has the perfect opportunity to attack Pyongyang and Kim Jong-Un with overwhelming, " fire and fury like the world has never seen".
In this way, good old "Uncle Sam" can rid the world of not one, but two evil dictators which pose a threat to American interests. The great tradgedy for the rest of us however, is that modern history,certainly since 1945, is littered with the effects of the Foreign policy disaters of the United Kingdom, France and United States in the Middle East, South America and Asia.
The compelling desire of the western powers to become involved in Syria, has brought about the death of thousands of Syrian civilians, men women and children, and a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. In the case of North Korea, Donald Trump has demonstrated over the past months since his inauguration in January, that he is prepared to take the world to the brink and even beyond in his megalomanic persuit global domination.Perhaps, even now those few saner voices in Washington and in London may prevail and manage to avert a catastrophic confrontation where there will be no "winners".

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...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. 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...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
