Ramadan has begun in Londonistan. It's another sign of how Islam is encroaching on Western culture, says Tim Dieppe. It's a long time since critics of any other religion were imprisoned. But don't you dare insult Islam!

Ofcom has been hounding GB News for its 'bias' in not being uniformly Left-wing. David Craig wonders when the brave regulator will notice that Times Radio pours forth anti-Trump bile all day long and takes action there.

Jump To Comment: 1Have you considered that just MAYBE this was "engineered". After all, going in as a UN operation would have resulted in maintaining the territorial integrity of Iraq and maybe that's not what the US has in mind. Maybe the non-cooperation of Turkey was likewise engineered. Maybe the bizarre clumsiness and not helping the UN inspecotrs find the WMDs was a plan.
No of course not, an occupied Iraq can't be forced to "recognize" Israel. But "Kurdistan" might do do willingly. And it's in "Kurdistan" where the big oil reserves are (in case this is about oil). And gee, the Kurds wouldn't have any reason to be grateful to the EU. Of course gratitude doesn't last long, almost surely not more than a few decades, but hey, the oil won't either.
Everybody has been acting as if the US intends to betray the Kurds. But what if it's the opposite? Does THAT make sense of the last few months.
