Why is the British Government Promoting and Arming Israeli Extremism?

leave a comment »

 

Israel is a terrorist organisation responsible for tens of thousands more deaths and infinitely more destruction and misery than Hezbollah and Hamas combined. Why isn’t it also proscribed?

Ministers in both the previous Conservative government and the current Labour government are, without doubt, complicit in many of Israel’s war crimes. Some are directly involved by authorising licenses for arms sales and for undisclosed military support. Exactly what is Britain’s military role is unknown and will probably never be revealed but there is compelling evidence of special forces involvement and assistance with targeting using aircraft based in Cyprus.

It is absolutely clear that Crown Immunity which protects ministers from prosecution does not apply to war crimes.  These include: Rishi Sunak, David Cameron, Grant Shapps, James Cleverly, Keir Starmer, David Lammy, John Reid and Yvette Cooper. There will be many others and officials in the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence.  It is the duty of the current and future government to investigate these crimes and ensure due process. However long it may take, it is essential that these ministers are brought to trial.

The Sharon Shoosmith Affair

leave a comment »

No one emerges with any credit from this sad tale of the way that we all failed Baby Peter.

The Buck Stops Here

Why can’t Ms Shoosmith accept that as Director of Childrens Services for Haringey she MUST take responsibility for her department’s appalling failure to protect the child?  No one is saying that she is personally culpable for his death.  Management is all about achieving results through other people and in this case she manifestly failed.

Ed Balls is one of the seedier and more slippery of Gordon’s cronies.  You can see him looking sideways in everything he does, watching his back, ducking and diving to avoid any come backs, looking for any opportunity to take credit or blame someone else.   Anything that he or his wife, Yvette, are involved in becomes a horrible curdled mess.  It comes from mixing too much oil, slime, and vinegar .  I can sympathise with Ms Shoosmith about having a boss who is so cowardly, two faced and disloyal.

Creeps

It’s time to move on.  Both of these individuals are history.  Somehow, we must find a way to protect vulnerable children effectively.

The Dunkirk Spirit

Gotta Get Home To Vote!

I can see it now.  Gordon as beachmaster in his tin hat.  Long lines of stranded tourists and businessmen queuing out into the surf to be rescued by our plucky boys and ferried home to Blighty.  Look, there’s Alistair falling over in the waves again and I can see Peter is serving tea and bully beef sarnies to anyone who’ll listen to him for a couple of minutes.

Our Fearless Leader

Ed Balls is smiling broadly as he builds sandcastles with some of the kids and his missus, Yvette, is trying out her French with some of the locals.  Alan Johnson is refusing to listen to any of his advisors as he loads more and more Labour voters into overcrowded rowing boats.

Don't Panic! Me And The Missus Are Here

The two Milliband brothers are checking who can get a place and who can’t, “Labour voters this way.  Women, children and Tories wait your turn!”

Another glorious defeat plucked from the jaws of victory.

“We’ll fight them on the beaches, on the landing grounds, at airports up and down the country.  I knew we could rely on Iceland to come to our rescue.  If the volcano won’t come to Gordon, then Gordon will go to the volcano.  No more boom and bust.  Vote Labour or die!

Don’t panic!  Don’t panic”

Labour Voters This Way!
