SATURDAY MATINEE

If you have some time today sit down and watch this film. It is about the Mclibel trial and I think many activists and people in general owe a lot to these two people. It truly is incredible that handing out a leaflet can get you involved in the longest legal battle in British history, [...]

SPECIALLY RUINED FOR A HOLLYWOOD AUDIENCE

I have always been a huge fan of Douglas Adams. Anyone capable of writing lines like “He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it” grabs your interest. Whilst I haven’t always agreed with him in all that he says, [...]

NUCLEAR

I read this a couple of months ago and I have not been able to get it out of my head. It is from Derrick Jensen‘s fabulous book ‘Endgame‘ (page 63/64). As well as affecting U.S. soldiers, DU (depleted uranium) has probably already harmed 250,000 Iraqis. The same can be said for residents of Bosnia, [...]

ARMS INVESTED PEACE ENVOY?

Let’s not forget that the new ‘peace envoy’ was lined up to join the Carlyle Group. Conflict of interest perhaps? Or, maybe that should read ‘interest in conflict’.  This was from Rupert Hamer in the Sunday Mirror in 2005… Is Blair off to join $30bn world elite? TONY Blair is expected to join one of [...]

THE A-Z OF NEPAL Part 2

A few years ago I spent some time doing voluntary work (building a school) in rural Nepal. It was far and away the best experience of my life. The warmth and the friendliness of the people despite everything they have to put up with is something I will never forget. When I got home I [...]

HMMM, I WONDER..

I wonder if something like this is going on in our dear departed prime ministers head tonight…

MURDERER

I am listening to Blair’s last Prime Minister’s Questions and most of the MPs are falling over themselves to congratulate him. Let’s not forget that according to the UN the waging of an aggressive war is “essentially an evil thing…to initiate a war of aggression…is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international [...]

LIAR

We have seen shorter goodbyes in the sound of music but today is the day he quits. From Robert Fisk in the Independent… …I came across one of Blair’s lies in my local Beirut paper. Sandwiched beneath a headline which read “Saudi reforms lose momentum” – surely one of the more extraordinarily unnecessary stories in [...]

WHAT A FIND!

Seriously well done to the guy who uploaded this old show. It is a special from something called ‘Spitting Image’ which used to be on british TV at the end of the 80s. Aside from the jokes about the president being stupid some of the stuff is so strong I don’t believe for a minute [...]
