What does the writer expect to happen? Is it expected that NATO tanks will smash into Smolensk, Bryansk, Kursk and other towns along Russia western border and race on to Moscow? The destruction of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 and the deaths of all those people on board is a tragedy which must be investigated and where necessary those people responsible must be held to account. However, this consta...

As the world looks the other way. Malaysia Airlines MH17 G3 gate of Schiphol Airport i Readers are by now aware that on July 17, 2014, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 flight MH17, crashed in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board. It has since been established that the most likely cause of the crash was a surface to air missile launched from within the pro-Russian area of eastern Ukraine and probably from pro-Russian rebels holding the area. Since news of the crash became widespread knowledge, reporters from the Western media have been seen on a daily basis filling our television screens with reports from the crash site, Schiphol airport, Kiev, Washington and London. Sky News and BBC News have carried lengthy reports of the crash and analysis of surface-to-air missiles and those persons in eastern Ukraine using them. The front pages of all our newspapers have been full of stories, comment and analysis since last Thursday. It is as if all other stories or...
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/18/pressure-on-hamas-to-negotiate-gaza-ceasefire Pressure mounts on Hamas to negotiate ceasefire: Hamas left isolated by its refusal to accept a truce Gaza This time it is "the Guardian" trotting out the "official western line" that Hamas is "left isolated by its refusal to accept a truce" and "pressure mounts on Hamas to negotiate ceasefire", when what they really mean is that Hamas and the r est of the Palestinians in Gaza, must stop resisting and allow Israel to get away with aggression and killing civilians, assisted by western governments, again. In other words, the Palestinians must accept unconditional surrender Israel and the western governments could have a ceasefire,truce call it what you will, this afternoon, if they were really seeking a solution, but as usual they are set on humiliation of the Palestinians as well as the demonisation of Palestine.

The Sun announces the death of the "Special Relationship". The Sun; Saturday 31st August 2013 As with the vast majority of Sun journalistic nonsense over the years, remember "Gotcha", or "The Truth (in relation to the Hillsborough disaster) or "It's the Sun Wot Won it" the front page of this "Newspaper" has screamed Kelvin MacKenzie/Rupert Murdochesque garbage for many years. Today's front page (Saturday 31st August 2013) is no exception, albeit that MacKenzie has gone and a new editor David Dinsmore, has the dubious honour of filling the chair. However, on this occasion there is a grain of reality in the headline. It is the first instance, certainly that I can recall of a British newspaper admitting that the "Special relationship" no longer exists.In fact, the so called "Special Relationship" was a myth created in 1944 by Churchill and Roosevelt as an implied threat to Joseph Stalin and the p...
