Gaza : A New Middle East Indeed

17-01-2009 10:24

The 'New Middle East' once more renewed a long abandoned idea in the minds of many Arabs, especially Palestinians, that resistance was not futile after all. New terminology also sprung. Words that were not uttered, at least not in any realistic context, in decades, began encroaching into Arab vocabulary: ‘victory’, ‘resistance’, ‘Arab nation’ with ‘one fate’, ‘one future’, and so on.

16-01-2009 21:09

There are plans for a new animal testing lab in Pirbright in Surrey. The blighted lab was the centre of the Foot and Mouth pandemic leaked into the water supply that saw thousands of animals killed by the army. This place should be shut down, not expanded. The £121 million lab is behind schedule and over budget. They are asking that the government bail them out. This can be stopped.
