Prime Minister, I have a question on ESA from Rachael from Swindon who has been asking your colleagues the same… Oh sorry the question… …
Europe is following Obama – washing its hands of Palestine and why
The USA keeps using North Korea as the bogey man, but the really dangerous bogey man is Israel. The International Community opened Pandora’s Box and now they have put the whole World in danger of a nuclear Armageddon.

My headline is a response to recent comments made by German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a joint press conference in Berlin with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the decision of the Cameron government in the UK to make boycotting goods from “Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank” by publicly-funded bodies including local councils and universities a criminal offence.
Much to the delight of Netanyahu who has rejected a French initiative to convene a regional conference to try to get a peace process going, Merkel said,

Greens unpack IKEA tax dodge scam
Unfortunately, the British Public is being betrayed by companies like IKEA. As the taxes they avoid paying, could be going towards the NHS, Education and Social Services. Also, by avoiding paying taxes, they are able to undercut competition, especially from small UK firms. It is a depressing state of affairs, especially when the tax-paying poor, are struggling to make ends meet. And people behind the likes of IKEA, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Starbucks and others, just get richer!
Expel Apartheid Israel from the United Nations
It is totally abhorrent that the the fledgling United Nations awarded Zionist terrorist groups a state of their own. Which the fledgling state then, carried out acts of genocide of the rightful occupants of the land, Palestinians, whether Jewish, Christian and Muslim. And has continued ignoring all International Laws and ignored United Nation mandates. Palestine should be restored to the state it was, before the abhorrent actions of the United Nations. The United Nations, has only been a mouth-piece of the USA. Any minor nation disagreeing with waht the USA wants, is bullied. By USA imposed sanctions, currency devaluation and even military take-overs of their Governments. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria being recent examples.
Obama deliberately lied when he claimed Syria Government behind the sarin gas attack in Ghouta
You only have to look at the USA’s support of Israel, who use illegal weapons and acts against the Palestinians. To realise the problems in the Middle-East, stem from USA interference. The USA, through Turkey, is pushing towards WWIII, by shooting down Russian aircraft.

U.S. President Obama’s central case against Syria’s Bashar al-Assad (and his central argument against Assad’s supporter Russia on that matter) is that Assad was behind the sarin gas attack in Ghouta Syria on 21 August 2013 — but it’s all a well-proven lie, as will be shown here.
President Obama said this to the UN on September 24th: “The evidence is overwhelming that the Assad regime used such weapons on August 21st. U.N. inspectors gave a clear accounting that advanced rockets fired large quantities of sarin gas at civilians. These rockets were fired from a regime-controlled neighborhood and landed in opposition neighborhoods.”
As I wrote in an article earlier in September, summing up the evidence on this (and you can click through all the way to the ultimate published sources here):

Asking a Question, the Challenge open to us all
We have gone back in time, to a period similar to that written about by Robert Tressell in ‘The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists‘! And yet, we are now in the 21st Century. How has this been allowed to happen, where are the opposition political parties?
Recovering the early economic programmes of Die Grünen
The UK’s Sustainable Development Commission (disbanded by the present Conservative Government) produced a report called Prosperity without Growth in 2009. I do not know, if they used any of the material from the earlier Die Grünen economic programmes (link below) from the eighties? But it is a pity that the German Green Party, that recognised that continued growth, could not continue, broke up. And that we just seem to be recycling old ideas, without them materialising into actions.
Back in 2011, at the UK’s Green Party conference in Cardiff. At a fringe meeting, Equality without Growth, the author of the Prosperity without Growth, Tim Jackson. Spoke about the need for the Green Party to show real leadership, by pushing forward an agenda for Degrowth. Something that was needed as the Global North was suffering from the financial melt-down. Unfortunately, the UK’s Green Party promotes the continued pursuit of economic growth!

‘NYT’ and ‘NYRB’ publish important pieces on Jewish terrorism
The New York Times and New York Review of Books have published big important pieces describing Jewish terrorism in Israel and its occupied territories, but both pieces are romantic, and propose to save Zionism and Israel from this inherent element.

A favourable post UT bedroom tax decision and boy are councils not going to like this!!
Manchester City Council is one of those councils which have not looked at the individual circumstances before applying the bed-room tax. The 100% Labour controlled council, has always been swift to carry out Conservative Government’s wishes, whilst blaming the Government. If it had carried out its duties correctly, it would not put hundreds of tenants through the trauma.
