David Lammy?s Vision is So Awful It Gives Me Hope That Something Has Got to Give Sat Jan 18, 2025 11:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Foreign Secretary David Lammy set out "the future of the U.K.'s foreign policy" this week. It's an abysmal vision, says Dr. David McGrogan, but it gives hope that the edifice of 'progressive realism' will soon collapse.

I'd encourage everyone to read this and to bookmark MediaBites and to add to their blog.
This type of work is crucial and indymedia pshould be glad that it's posted here.
Three quick points on some of the comments on the links.
1. Many liberals, democrats, trade unionists, secularists and socialists joined the Khomeini’s revolution in 1978/9 because they thought nothing could be worse than the Shah. They were wrong - bad and all as the Shah was the Mullahs were a lot more oppressive and bloody.
2. The US should not have interfered in Tehran in 1953 but it does not have to be gone over again every time there is a dispute between Iran and the US. We are where we are and 1953 was aeons ago in this context. 1953 has nothing to do with Lee Bollinger.
3. Homosexuality is in fact widespread in Saudi Arabia and there is a thriving scene but it is underground and tolerated as long as it is discrete. There is no such toleration in Iran and the penalties are barbaric.
The Kingdom in the Closet
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200705/gay-saudi-arabia
'Sodomy is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia, but gay life flourishes there. Why it is “easier to be gay than straight” in a society where everyone, homosexual and otherwise, lives in the closet'
congratulations to Mediabite, great to see the pioneering work of Medialens applied to the Irish media.
Saudi Arabia is a tolerant society?
This one completely gives your game away.

So Miriam what you are saying is that American newspaper editors are gullible and feed the masses to make them even more gullible ?
I had often wondered why so many Americans are seem ignorant of the worlds current affairs and now I know why.
Thank you
You're very welcome. Happy to oblige.
Missing the point though. Now see if you can figure out what we are really about :-)
