Testosterone Fueled Government

15-03-2004 13:15

The cheapest and most certain way to minimise a terrorist attack on UK is a clean pair of hands to lead the Labour Party into the Next Election to stop all this simplistic talk talk about Evil which stifles debate.
I struggle with my five year old grandson’s simplistic enthusiasm for ‘goodies’ and ‘baddies’. We do not need this attitude from our government

I Live in a Free Country

15-03-2004 11:27

As the world knows, this week Spain has lived through a period of intense pain, grief, turmoil and transformation. We have experienced the bloodiest massacre since the 1940s, enormous street demonstrations, official cover-ups and revelations, a general election and a long-awaited change of government. Years of history telescoped into the space of four days. For me, this week has been a lesson in how a free country works, how free people act. The Spanish people have held up a picture of freedom to the billions around the world who dream of living in a free country. I would like to share my experience with you.

15-03-2004 01:51

Would-be masters of the universe in Washington DC would naturally presume that the spectacular tragedy in Madrid would help the current right wing Spanish government allied to Bush. But Bush's Spanish allies did not benefit from the mass murder like Bush benefitted from 9/11. A few days later, the Spanish electorate threw the ruling party out and elected the Socialists, demanding a full investigation to uncover the hidden truth.

14-03-2004 19:32

The British far-right is an eclectic bunch, with organisations varying from those like the British National Party and Freedom Party, who hold elected office and have serious pretensions to wield power locally, to organisations like the November 9th Society that could best be described as containing one man and a German Shepherd dog.
