A "knee jerk" reaction forced upon him by public and political pressure, to a problem he should have been addressing for months. Even then, Cameron leaps to the wrong conclusion either by accident or more probably design, and fails to recognise the reality. The refugees in the UNHCR camps on the borders of Syria, although not l iving in the lap of luxury, have the basic necessities of food, shelter, water, sanitation and medical care provided by the UN and other voluntary organisations. Refugees wait to board a train at Budapest ...

Tony Blair, the former prime minister has apparently announced he is looking for a prominent pan-European role in the fight against euroscepticism. Blair has always wanted to be the first president of a "United States of Europe". His personal ambitions and arrogant conceit, destroyed the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, took this country in to (at least) one illegal war, betrayed colleagues and friends in government and party and has shown bias towards Israel in his dealings as "Middle East Peace Envoy". His credibility lies in tatters and he now offers advice (or as he would prefer, instructions) to the people of this country on membership of and its relationship with,the European Union.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/lib-dem-mps-in-bid-to-oust-nick-clegg-after-disastrous-election-results-9432134.html Lib Dem MPs in bid to oust Nick Clegg after disastrous election results Protest against leader Nick Clegg, could see Vince Cable take over. An almost unbelievable prospect. Clegg, an unprincipled hypocrite and opportunistic politician, who betrayed not only his party in the country, but also every principle that the Liberal Party ever stood for. In his grubby quest for a place at the cabinet table, he has demonstrated on numerous occasions over the last four years, an unswerving loyalty to a (predominately) Conservative government who have created divisions in society, unseen for almost 100 years. The consequence of the past four years of his duplicity and in part, that of the LibDem parliamentary party, has resulted in the rejection of the Coalition junior partner at the ballot box. The LibDems ...

Cameron has reached the point in time where he should have a career change. Growing roses would be more relaxing for him.

The EU Budget is cut, but the net contribution by the UK to the European coffers is increased, so the British tax payer contributes even more money to Brussels. If this is a "victory" let us all be thankful that Cameron did not suffer a "humiliating defeat".

It has nothing to do with terrorism, rebels, insurgents, Islamist extremist, jihadists or any of the other emotive descriptions used by politicians and repeated parrot fashion by the media and television “pundits”. It has nothing to do, except indirectly, with the abundance of mineral resources in the country, which are currently only exploited to a fraction of their real worth. The situation in Mali today is about war. Not the war of nations as was the case in 1914 and 1939, or even the wars of the 1950's. This war in Mali, is at the same time new and almost as old as history. It is a war of religion. In exactly the same way as the Cru...
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/barack-obama-piles-pressure-on-david-cameron-over-eu-exit-8458116.html "I am telling you....." Many, if not most, Americans cannot resist poking their noses into other peoples affairs, and offering unwanted and unwelcome "advice" on every matter imaginable, especially when their "advice" is to suit and promote their own agenda's. In this respect, Obama is no exception apart from the fact that his "advice" is usually veiled in some sort of threat because he is, after all, described as the "most powerful man in the world". Note the use of the word "powerful" rather than "intelligent". The omission is significant. Presidents (not only the present incumbent) and their State department sycophants, consider it their duty as the self appointed "guardians of the world" to throw in their opinions and platitudes on any matter. When they couple thi...
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/obama-administration-warns-britain-to-stay-in-the-european-union-8444789.html Obama administration warns Britain to stay in the European Union Philip H. Gordon: Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Britain risks damaging its relationship with America and being sidelined in the international community if it leaves the European Union, the Obama administration publicly warned today. Americans, or at least a good number of Americans, seem to have a great problem in keeping their noses out of other peoples affairs. This time it is the turn of us, "the Brits", to come under the spotlight and to receive the guidance, advice, or perhaps more accurately the "warning" instructions, from the great American busybody to dismiss any thoughts or suggestions of having a referendum on the question of European membership, and to remain within the European Union. Now personally, I believe that contin...
Welcome to the new look New Agenda ! As the new year approaches, it seemed appropriate that "New Agenda" should have a new look. The content remains unchanged, but the background has been refreshed and there have been a few small adjustments to the format. 2013, promises to be a momentous year of change, both on the domestic scene with the political divisions within the coalition and changes to the NHS and social fabric of our society, and internationally with the continuing uncertainty within Europe and the daily heightening tension in the Middle East. The elections scheduled for January in Israel could change the dynamic between the new Palestine and the Israeli's continued expansion of their settlement building programme. While in Europe the question of Greece and the growing number of European countries seeking economic assistance remains unresolved. 2013, will be a year of significant challenges for all in the resolution of the problems already evident,...
http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=295553 Israel to withhold NIS 1.6b. of PA tax revenue Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman “They can forget about seeing a single agora for the next four months,” Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman: Tel Aviv Tuesday. Liberman, terrorist, bigot, war criminal and now thief. Stealing money to punish Palestine for obtaining status at the United Nations, and retaliating against Palestine and Europe's criticism of Israel for announcing planning for homes in E1 in Ma’aleh Adumin, and other new construction plans beyond the Green Line. The Jerusalem Post of course seems to endorse this theft and probably considers that Liberman's activities will contribute to finding a solution to the Israeli/Palestinian problem. the Jerusalem Post is as warped as he is.

Israel, openly admits that this act of state theft is in direct response to the upgrade of Palestine after Thursday's vote at the United Nations. Not only do these reprehensible Israeli bigots steal other people land and property, they also steal other peoples money. Theft can now be added to the growing list of Israel's crimes against humanity. In the face of this despicable act of reprisal, the governments of Europe and the United States say nothing and do nothing.

Huffington Post Tony Blair Why the Huffington Post should choose to delete or otherwise not publish my comment to this article, is a mystery known only to the back room, anonymous editors and censors of the Huff Post. In comparison to some of the other remarks on this page, mine is no worse than others in its criticism of Blair, and reflects, in my view, "fair comment on a matter of public interest".
