No Trump and Netanyahu, You are wrong. Jerusalem is NOT "the capital of Israel".

The United Nations General Assembly does not recognize Israel's proclamation of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The wording of General Assembly Resolution 63/30 of 2009 states that "any actions taken by Israel, the occupying Power, to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the Holy City of Jerusalem are illegal and therefore null and void and have no validity whatsoever, and calls upon Israel to cease all such illegal and unilateral measures.
In recognising Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, the United States defies the United Nations and joins Israel in another illegal act and drives another nail into the coffin of the Peace Process.

At the same time as Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner with Trump himself on video link opened the "United States Embassy" in Jerusalem, the IDF at the Gaza "border fence", shot and killed more than 50 unarmed Palestinians and wounded more than a thousand others, in what Mark Regev, Benjamin Netanyahu and the barbaric Israeli Defence Force, describe as an act of "self defence", using the now well worn but still untrue cliche of, "Israel is defending itself". The excessive use of "live fire", tear gas and snipers by the IDF against unarmed civilians is both barbarous and inhuman but is nevertheless a regular occurance in Gaza, the West Bank and the other occupied territories.
Yesterday witnessed just the latest atrocities carried out by the occupying forces in Palestine and should provoke anger and condemnation by civilised countries around the world. For how much longer can Europe and the rest of the world stand by and do nothing in the face of the United States and Israeli crimes against the people of Palestine?
Since 1948 the world has crossed over and "passed by on the other side" as generations of Palestinians have been subjected to occupation, persecution and slaughter on an unprecedented scale.
Governments should hold their heads in shame at their indifference to and acquiescence of Israeli and United States actions in the tragic land of Palestine.

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 ...
