Double Standards
Israel's terrorisation of the Palestinian people have obviously driven the Palestinian people to the edge of despair. The hatred thus engendered is multiplied by the record of Western politicians who so often display double standards by demanding a condemnation of Palestinian terrorism while turning a blind eye to Israel's terrible crimes.

It is quite ironic that we have two laws to protect our wildlife but time and time again they cannot be enforced. Let me give you three examples in the last few months. The Eurasian Otter (Lutra lutra) is listed under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, and also the EC Habitats Directive implemented through the Conservation (Natural Habitats) Regulations 1994. These mean that it is an offence for any person to intentionally kill, injure or take otters.
And yet three otters have recently lost their lives through stupidity and deliberate criminal acts. The cases all involve otters from different areas which have been killed or wilfully taken from the wild.

Ulla Roder, the activiste who disarmed a Tornadojet in march, issued a statement
Ulla Roder, the international peace-activiste who disarmed a Tornadojet in Leuchars last March, wrote an interesting statement. In a.o. things she explains why she believes the justice system in Scotland is designed to silence her and she believes she is not being provided with a fair trial. (surprice?) Ulla does not wish to escape justice, shee seeks it, but demands a fair trial. Her action was and is accountable!
