The hypocrisy of the Western Powers.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/06/trump-syria-missiles-assad-chemical-weapons Sy ria airstrikes: US targets airfield in first direct military action against Assad Since early 2013, the American government closely followed by the United Kingdom government and with the French governments padding along at their heels like some well rained and obedient poodle, have been desperately seeking some justification, no matter how tenuous, to become involved in the Syrian Civil war. In this odious quest, they have been enthusiastically encouraged and supported by a media and television machine, frantically baying for the removal of Bashar al Assad and the Damascus government. Hidden amongst the rhetoric and disinformation regarding civil rights abuses, humanitarian assistance, chemical weapon programmes and the rest, all spewed out to advocate Western involvement, lies the real reasoning behind the enthusiasm for military intervention. The first and foremost r...

Yet another hypocritical intervention.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/08/tony-blair-accuses-jeremy-corbyn-of-standing-by-as-syria-is-bombed?CMP=share_btn_fb#_=_ Tony Blair accuses Jeremy Corbyn of standing by as Syria is bombed This squalid intervention from Blair, rates as one of the worst to date. The hypocrisy from this wretched man is stunning, in his crude attempt to further undermine the leadership of the Labour party. Blair took this country into illegal wars which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's and ultimately to the creation of ISIS.

This duplicitous miscreant, led the Labour party to three election victories, based on the illusion that Conservative policies could somehow be packaged into an alternative programme to benefit the ordinary people of this country.

The attempts at deception should at least be credible

  http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/russia-helping-is-by-hitting-opposition/ar-BBnDA5V?li=AAaeUIW&ocid=U142DHP Russia 'Helping IS By Hitting Opposition'(says Sky News)   More absolute bollox, enthusiastically reported and endorsed by Sky News. Anything, no matter how absurd, which supports the "Pro Western, Pro Syrian opposition, anti Russian" line will be hyped up, exaggerated and promoted in the hope that some elements of the "gung ho" public will actually accept this claptrap as truth and "spread the word" to others. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and our media, also wish us to believe that all the civilians killed in Syria over the past weeks, have been killed by Russian bombing and that there have been no casualties (apart from ISIS that is) resulting from British, American, French or other Coalition airstrikes. It seems that Russian bombs and missiles are the only ones which have killed Syrian men, women and children. H...
