Being ‘anti-Israeli conflict against Palestinians’ isn’t being ‘anti-Jews’ nor being ‘anti-Semitic’ – and Jeremy Corbyn is no ‘figurehead of ant-Semitic culture’?

 Anti-Semitic HATE  in   Many of us thinking people in Britain can float between parties when it comes to voting, according to what we think is best for our beloved Country. Nevertheless, while socialism doubtless should have a significant role to play in the future of the UK, the bulk of the people here could […]

The UK’s TRIDENT weapon system – unacceptably UNRELIABLE?

At the back end of 2015, a post was published here [TRIDENT REPLACEMENT – it’s got to be a joke, but it isn’t funny?], that posed 16 pertinent questions that MPs needed to ask themselves before they debated about replacing the ‘current’ TRIDENT system and voted on it. Now, there apparently was one glaring omission […]

TRIDENT REPLACEMENT – its got to be a joke, but it isn’t funny?

Later, sometime next year, our erstwhile MPs are going to decide about proceeding with the full Trident replacement at an enormous cost, that is likely to bankrupt this Country. The current Trident 1 has been operational only half a dozen years more than it took to get it into service in 1994, when it replaced […]

Why Britain MUST have the Trident replacement – NOT?

Fat Man A-Bomb Nagasaki Trident launch     Britain already has a shed load of nuclear bombs. The current method of attack delivery is the submarine Trident system, but after thirty five years this is nearing its ‘best before’ date. The cost of replacement (a hundred billion pounds over forty years?) to be operational in […]

Britain was an original Nuclear Power – so let’s keep Trident?

Fat Man A-Bomb Nagasaki Trident launch Seventy years ago Britain played its full part in the US dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, wiping out a quarter of a million people, (half of them slowly) and mostly civilians [the standard military excuse of ‘collateral damage’ won’t wash on that one will it?].  Somehow or […]

Britain and Nuclear Weapons – should we keep them?

There should be no doubt in anybody’s mind – rightly or wrongly the atom bomb brought an early end to the Second World War with Japan. In conjunction with the Americans we dropped two such nuclear bombs on Japan wiping out the cities of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Not dropped on military installations that we might […]

UK Anti-Semitism, UK Anit-Islamism – who’s fault is that?

In the UK Parliament House of Commons both the Prime Minister David Cameron on his report on the Brussels European Council conference on combating extremism, and then the Leader of the Labour Opposition Ed Miliband, condemned anti-Semitism in Britain. This emanated from a statement about Gaza and Israel’s horrific killing of well more than two thousand […]

Russia’s Vladimir Putin – what’s his game then?

  What do most of us in the public know about Vladimir Putin apart from him being the current longtime leader of Russia? Not a lot probably? Like many Russian leaders before him, he is a bad piece of work (you will have heard of some past infamous deeds & names – Lenon, Trotsky, Stalin, […]

What is ‘Hamas’ – a barbaric “Terrorist” Organisation, a legitimate “Resistance” Movement, a recognised “Elected Government”? What is ‘Israel’ – a recognised “Elected Government”, a legitimate “Resistance” Movement, a barbaric “Terrorist” Organisation?

Mandela imprisoned 1964 as a terrorist and released in 1990, at age 71. Elected president of South Africa in 1994, served until 1999   South Africa: UK PM Margaret Thatcher, in 1987, said “the ANC is a typical terrorist organisation … anyone who thinks it is going to run the government in South Africa is […]

Israel v Gaza – its all about maths stupid?

Gaza is a ‘tiny’ overcrowded strip of land of  under a hundred and fifty square miles, so only four to eight miles wide and twenty five miles long, but home to about two million Palestinians. Occupied by military force by Israel for more than twenty five years, but now for twenty years ‘self governing’ but […]
