From handing over the Chagos Islands to compensating Gerry Adams, Starmer's decisions owe more to human rights lawyers than sound politics. He needs to sack his chum Lord Hermer before he shipwrecks his Government.

Tony Blair has given us terror in the name of peace for more years than most care to remember.
He has issued soundbyte after soundbyte, each carefully timed and crafted to up the fear index felt by his own people.
With no substantial reason, he linked the 911 event to an increased possibility of terrorist attack on London or others cities of the UK. ... read full story / add a comment

With real miners and their wives as support actors, and with NUM officials picking up inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the film and story line as it went along, this film ought to be at least realistic and it is. Shot at Hatfield Colliery, where the head gear and pit stand frozen and intact, much as they did for the twelve months of the strike, the scenes are shot in the streets and communities based upon the fortunes of that mine, Stainforth, Dunscroft, Thorne and Moorends. Up to 240 of the local pit folk starred in the making of this film, and not simply as wannabies. Continues at ... read full story / add a comment

In what is being soundbyted as "a peaceful intifada" and a "cedar revolution" the complete government of the Lebanon last night handed in their papers,keys, and whispered to each other about not using big cars anymore.

the "very dramatic move" came after a days protest in "martyr's square". Most people don't want to be martyrs, they want to live peaceful lives and participate in their society, and also live free of the wickedness of war, corruption, lies, indoctrination, criminality of any politicians, the foolishness of the proud, any of the things they have long laboured under the yokes of. They do not want to live or their children to live in fear of intimidation, exile, poverty, inequality. They want normal lives.

When all your government resign you may safely consider you have taken an important step in the right direction. Anarcho-syndicalists approve of this type of thing. ... read full story / add a comment

The LA Times editorial suggests that Bono would be good at selling "Brand America" if he were president of the World Bank and suggests that the problem is the lack of developed nations standing by their "aid" commitments.

Absolutely no mention of the stripping of assets, imposed "open" economies, complete lack of protection of local industries that the World Bank imposes on these nations. ... read full story / add a comment

Before the Mc Libel Duo recently had time to file their claims on HMG UK for all the money Blair's regime refused them in their struggle against Mc Donalds, the Angel of the Lord George Bush had cleared through the US legislature the first part of his bid to stop "class actions".

Class actions are multi-state very american style law suits taken against corporations mostly under the guise of consumer relations (Nadarism) and rarely under the guise of worker relations (trade unionism an almost extinct activity in the USA). ... read full story / add a comment
