France: Very concerned about human rights in Burma

It is funny to see President Francois Hollande talking about reported suffering in Syria, especially taking into account that France has been involved for decades in Burma sharing Burmese resources with Communist China regardless of what has been happening in Burma.

In the past, French Socialists used to say 'L'important c'est la rose' when in fact we knew that 'L'important c'est l'argent' and there might be a lot of money to be had in Syria since new deposits of oil and gas have just been found in Syrian territorial waters and this is happening when oil exploration has just started in the Golan Heights.

What becomes abundantly clear is that when it comes to the interests of the French government nothing else matters - not NATO, not the EU and, of course, the UN does not matter - and this happens in a country subsidized by the United Kingdom.

'The British do not matter', says Francois Hollande. Sorry, we already knew that. Do the people of France matter to you, Monsieur Hollande? In a country with one of the highest rates of unemployment in Europe and often said to be on the edge of bankruptcy and with a massive percentage of Muslim voters, perhaps the French President should be concerned about what France's Muslim population actually thinks. Do they all support yet another attack against a Muslim country?

The French Socialist President talks also about support from the Arab League? What Arab League? Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Lebanon? Well, we know that he is talking merely about Saudi Arabia that as we know has been provided with fighter jets to do the dirty work apart from actively supporting AlQaeda guerrillas that - oh surprise! - are the backbone of rebel forces acting against the Syrian government.







 

Syria: David Cameron shows true leadership by respecting the will of Parliament

We have seen many instances of the behavior of David Cameron when it comes to Parliament and to the Conservative Party. I think that in this occasion when the issue of military intervention in Syria was being debated David Cameron show true leadership by standing in the House of Commons and accepting the will of Parliament.

Unlike the mass media that obviously support political bullying, I respect a lot more a British Prime Minister able and willing to accept the will of an elected body and in so doing honouring the best tradition of British Democracy.

David Cameron might not be all that you want him to be when it comes to other issues but in this occasion he stood up very high despite all criticism brought against him.

President Vladimir Putin: A level headed and balanced approach to Foreign Affairs

Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin represents trade agreements, peaceful cooperation and the Rule of Law in International Affairs. One of his first actions was to sign an agreement to provide Germany, the old foe of World War Two, oil and gas. No wars of aggression, no political or financial domination. Just cooperation and trade.

The USA always liked to depict Russia as an aggressive country, as the boogieman, to prolong the memories of the Cold War. However, when you look at the history records after the end of the Soviet support for the then government of Afghanistan, the one country that has been permanently at war is the USA while Russia has persisted in its approach to build trade relationships across the world.

In 1988, the USA supported the use of chemical warfare against Iran because the USA wanted to take revenge against Iran for having deposed the Shah of Iran and this happened after the USA used chemical warfare in Asia including Vietnam in what become of the most shameful chapters in American History.

You can clearly see that the USA say one thing and do exactly the opposite, pretending that they hold the truth when in fact American Foreign Policy has been merely a bunch of lies for centuries. The actions taken against those who want the public to know what their government is doing speak volumes about what the USA are about.

Hague: We are going to do this, we are going to do that

Alexander Hague
 

What I feel today about William Hague's statements is a bit like what I imagine my parents used to feel when I was a child and stated that I was going to fix something. They were terrified of my 'fixing' operations because they, instinctively and also from experience, knew that something was not going to work anymore.

William Hague has made statements about how Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Afghanistan, et cetera, et cetera, were going to be fixed and in the end we witness a complete mess with a Muslim World that is like a fireworks factory in which there is a fire. Things are exploding and heading in different directions and nobody knows what is going to happen next while people are being killed by the thousands.

To make matters worse, an American Administration is once again 'talking tough' and announcing the possibility of launching missiles into Syria, a bit like starting a bonfire next to a gunpowder barrel.

When I see the mess that has been created in the Muslim World, I suspect that this mess was created by the American Administration acting together with close allies like the United Kingdom's government because there is always a hidden agenda.

Iran is too far and too hard a bone to chew, so what do they do? Destabilizing Syria was a much easier target and it serves a fundamental purpose. As long as Muslim countries keep attacking each other and as long as factions keep trying to destroy each other, America's closest ally in the Middle East is safe.

Publicly, the elites show 'extreme concern for the wellbeing of Muslim peoples'. Privately, they couldn't give a damn. As long as the weapons industry keeps getting contracts and making money, they couldn't care less about the lives of men, women and children caught up in an endless list of conflicts around the world.

General Dwight Eisenhower who became American President said something like 'beware the powers of the weapons industries'. American weapons industries are fed by spilling blood across the world with American soldiers and millions of other peoples used as raw material to make the rich even richer.

The Land of the Free is the greatest lie ever told. Ordinary Americans do not have a clue about what those who truly govern America are doing and anybody who tries to tell them the truth is treated as a traitor.

In Britain, we have people like William Hague, always ready to justify murder 'for a higher purpose'.


The foundations of Stop and Search

It remains ostensibly clear that as long as patterns of criminal behavior remain what they are and what they have been for decades, Stop and Search will continue to be a fundamental tool in Police activities to counter crime.

As Sir Paul Condon, then Chief of the Metropolitan said many years ago, more than 90 per cent of crimes committed in the London Region are committed by non whites and the actions of criminal gangs continue. From 240 organized gangs, there are now more than 480 organized gangs and some of them armed and extremely dangerous.

While recognizing the fact that sometimes innocent people can be targeted, Police forces don't have a crystal ball to know who is and who isn't involved in criminal activities and therefore, as a precaution and given the trends of crime in the London Region, the emphasis of Stop and Search operations will continue as long as the vast majority of crimes are committed by non whites.

What is also evident is that non white communities are constantly targeted by non white gangs that exist within the said communities and that many families live in fear not only of being attacked. They also fear that given present circumstances their own children might end up joined criminal gangs.

Flood immigration has a lot to do with criminal activities because jobs for those at the lower end of society are more difficult to find.

Liam "There is no money" Byrne

Liam "There is no money' Byrne has been in full swing criticizing welfare reforms. The Borrow Pay Later (if you can) Labour Party created a blackhole that is swallowing tax monies and forcing the present administration to implement budget cuts practically everywhere.

The Multicultural Reforms implemented by the Labour Party had to be paid for with vast amounts of public money and we are now facing the consequences of the bankrupt version of Britain that they have created.

As women queue up to receive medical treament to counter the damage caused by genital mutilation and many thousands undergo hymen reconstruction to pretend that they are still virgins, Byrne's Labour Party should have stopped pushing down our throats the message that it was British Culture the one that was being 'improved' with barbaric practices loved by people who are obviously culturally inferior and drain the public purse.

Perhaps we should suggest some crazy ideas that Labour can adopt as its national policies. What about legalizing gang crime including muggings and killings? This would make thousands upon thousands of Labour voters very happy. Labour could then justify gang crime by saying that 'it is a multicultural thing' since more than 90 per cent of those involved in gang crime are 'multicultural'.

The saga of West Norwood Public Library continues

In 2011, the copper roof of West Norwood Public Library was stolen on the same date that the local cemetery was vandalised by metal robbers that targetted memorials and the cemetery chapel. The robbery was followed by torrential rain that caused all kinds of damage including structural damage affecting electrical wiring and destroying valuable contents.

It took some time for a review of the damage to be carried out and when the review was carried out it the presence of asbestos led to further delays. During such delays, the building was occupied by squatters that brought with them animals into the building and the place is now like a bombed site.

The squatters were removed but the damage and the mess created by animal excrement remains together with damaged books lying on the floor everywhere.

A meeting was held by the end of 2012 at Elmcourt Road High School with the presence of local MP Tessa Jowell, several Councillors and various other representatives including members of Friends of West Norwood Library and a lady that attended the meeting on behalf of a company that offered to rebuild West Norwood Library transforming it into a Movie Theatre Complex.

West Norwood Library is still closed and boarded, dog crap still infests the building, damaged library materials are spread on the floors and all we have is the ghostly image of what used to be a vibrant and multifunctional building and centre of the local community.

I have been a West Norwood resident since 1994. My wife, my three children and I had been members of West Norwood Public Library. It breaks our hearts to see that for so long the Labour administration of Lambeth Council has done absolutely nothing apart from a few photo opportunities for propaganda purposes.
