I knew China has a poor human rights record, but surely putting a bottle of wine on trial for murder is shocking even by their standards? The news keeps mentioning the trial of Beaujolais.
Pop the cap on a bottle of Yunnan Red and you will volunteer for the firing squad.
I see another raving green council have been caught red handedly lying about green energy.
Dover District Council ( Conservative natch ) want to install a wind turbine at their offices to promote 'clean' energy.
The idea was so pursuasive that they had to lie about it. Trouble was, someone asked for actual facts and their entire reasoning fell to pieces.
Just like with HS2! *gulp*
I think Gideon's abacus has crashed. If Railway companies want HS2 THEY should pay for it, some how I think their interest would rapidly diminish.
19th century technology for the UK. Why not? We might just have the skills to maintain it by the time it is built.
The problem is that, if they don't build in HS2, the actual alternative will be no investment in transport infrastructure. Governments tend to be hopeless at capital-formation and we should support them when they propose some.
"19th century technology for the UK"
This is a step up from the medieval windmill technology Dave is foisting on the country.
That happened to me also
This is a lie £80 Billion. The true cost will be at least £1 Trillion going by historic underestimates of huge capital projects.
I think lots of little windmills on peoples roofs is a jolly good idea as opposed to the bloody stupid idea of building massive monstrosities all over the place.
I know why they do it, it is because then THEY can control it, ask Tesla ( well you can't I know but if you could he would agree)
In California and France, high speed rail is being dropped. It's time for Osborne to take the hint. http://t.co/1vIMV7BGnS

NO TSR2 would have been a world beater, the americans forced us to cancel and destroy the program so we could get some much needed money.
Also we ordered an american replacement that was years later and massively over budget.
The American replacement was 50 F-IIIK but that order was cancelled in 1968. Replacement for that was an RAF adaptation of the FAA's Blackburn Buccaneer from a 1952 specification.
Britain's greatest enemy during the Cold War and ever since has been the British Government.
HS2 = Concord (transport for the super rich)
There are areas of Londonistan and Brum where I would not want to be travelling at 200mph on a railway track.
There are areas of Londonistan and Brum where I would not want to be travelling.
There – fixed it for you.
That is the stupidity of this government. All new development is to be put outside our towns and cities as we concrete over the green patches around them.
Yet the major new transport link is to stop only in the centre of the cities that we will not redevelop properly.
The link will be just for people, yet those people will be living outside the cities in the larger houses in the green field sites that give the best profits to the builders.
It is like watching children organize their toys.
What he does not consider is that flying is so cheap in the states that's its akin to taking the bus. HS rail would never ever compete both in cost or time spent.
As for France they are bust and have no money so not rocket science.
Sorry to hear that France is bust. Could it be those 83 operational nuclear power stations producing the cheapest electricity in Europe? You know, the stuff we import through the channel interconnector to supply over 5% of demand (so far today).
Obviously not.
Soon, when we can't generate enough of the stuff ourselves, the Frogs will be in the money.
They have the nuclear power stations…BUT…. is it true they send all their nuclear waste to be buried under OUR feet? No wonder they don't want us to leave the EU we may tell them to bury the shite under their own feet and that would give 'em a seizure!
Can a British PM legally order an attack on a country that has shown no aggression to Britain or has not been asked to by the World policeman?
It is grounds for section in him under the Mental Health Act.
This was discussed in great detail the last time. I wonder if we will have millions on the streets demonstrating against it?
Nope because the Leftists want this war to go ahead. And in the main it's leftists that take to the street and protest.
Middle England protested on a massive scale against the fox-hunting ban, against the export of live animals in the 1990's and more recently and no doubt in the future, against fracking.
Oh, and that nice Mr Blair's first big problem, fuel duty escalator.
I predict that the Libdems will sit on the fence.
Who is smart enough to rent out the fence-not ukippers
There will be no protest. Those that run the BBC, the liberal Metro Elite have decided that this is a just war and have manipulated their broadcasts to reflect their view and more sinisterly to convince their audience that it is just and necessary.
Syria is not Iraq, Obama and his poodle Cameroon will need all the technology they've got for this one, Don't forget, these guys have got WMD's unlike Saddam. Of course we could try sending the great middle east 'peacemaker' Tony.B.Liar, who seems to have been curiously silent on this so far!
Go stateside press and read the plan. They will be using cruise missiles and glide weapons all launched from outside Syria in a limited campaign to knock out Assad's WMD capability.
The Yanks though for reason of Politics have insisted that Allies also take part.
They say will be no ground forces involved but I've yet to see this sort of effort take place without an input from special forces.
We need an Islamic Solution. It is called Turkey – as the colonial power until we sodded up the Middle East after 1918. We should allow France (who fouled up Syria while we fouled up Mesapotamia and Palestine) to take the lead in arranging for the US and its UK poodle to protect Turkey against any Russian (or Persian) interference.
The Arab nations of the Levant have had 65 years practice at self-government but they have yet to pass Grade 1. The problem isn't Islam; other predominantly Muslim states govern themselves quite well, for instance Malaysia, Indonesia, Albania, Senegal, even the Comoros. The problem seems to lie in Arab society and its endemic tendencies to corruption and anger.
I did
Why because they attack those that criticise. There is no free speech with regard to government departments. If they fail to find some way of attacking the person highlighting the corruption, then they make some stories up.
You will see in 2015. All recorded.
ANON 154.Do you ever stop whingeing ? do you have problems with authority in everyday life as well? i get so sick of thicko`s thinking they know better than the Government.
Why on earth should those that are not around to see the outcome of their own decisions be allowed to make decisions for those that suffer.
The politicians are supposed to represent the people. The expertise is in the people. They are there to implement it. So yes the people who run the systems will always know better than the government about the subject. The politicians are only expert in implementing laws, they are not expert in the systems.
Anyone that believes the opposite is someone that believes there are experts that need no experience. A very dangerous person.
PS. there is no authority in everyday life. As authority only exist if the laws are broken. There is no one that commands me as a slave.
So why should I have a problem with authority? However we all have a problem with corrupt people in authority.
"A british Government can do WTF it likes because brits are too timid to do anything about it."
In a nutshell. How can anyone add anything to that!
it's not that we are timid, it's just that it will take a bit more than a thermonuclear war to get us riled up.
ANON 154, part 4.You absolute cretin ! "slave" "corrupt people in authority" you need to enrol in classes to build your self esteem, you must be a nightmare to live with ! you are, admit it.
However, I might be able to master the computer mouse and put my comments in the right place.
You must be a MP as you attack the person not the problem. Maybe we have met!
Yes, if the UN say so.
We can fix that for you.
You forgot me by name
Yes,especially after reducing the armed forces to a pathetic rump,disregarding recent
experience,and thinking that anyone gives a flying fuck about Syria.
Tell the black muzzie bastard to fuck off.
SC, this is pathetic
When will we be rid of the black spot that is cameron?.
We can't have people new railways. It will cost a fortune and do real damage to the countryside and environment.
Only problem with that analogy is that we already have a rail network in place and dont need another, what is needed is investment in the rail network we already have. In 1829 there were no railways, you do understand that HS2 will siphon off all funding away from where its really needed.
Ah yes, but you will get to Birmingham 20 minutes quicker than today. Though the fare will be treble what it is today.
I am happy not going to Birmingham as it is thank you.
Oh Mr Porter what shall I do?
I wanted to go to Birmingham
But you've taken me on to – Karachi Central?
I think you mean Islamabrum
Are you feeling massively enriched in our super diverse multi-cultural shithouse of a Country?
Or you could get in your car and Drive up to Brum and go directly to where it is you want to visit rather than pissing about waiting for a connection on Dave's train set.
Arriving at a London station is OK as you can just hop on a tube and get to where you want to b e within 30 mins but that ain't so in Brum. At least the incumbent train network has stations on the way

Yes you could go by car and get stuck in one of the many traffic jams that we Brits love so much. The one thing that is definite is that the number of cars, lorries etc on motorways will continue to increase until the eventual day dawns on people that it is quicker by canal.
And building new motorways is less of an option than new train lines.
Where are these traffic jams? I drive up and down the country and rarely see them, although I have to admit to not going into the M25 bit.
But I have observed that the Highways Agency do like to over react and are quire gung-ho in closing off motorway lanes at every available opportunity they get, they even close them off for cars on the hard shoulder these days.

Podgy controller, hmmm no one controls me, if they try to I get very, very angry
Go by canal. You must be kidding. THIS government has seen to it that the canals will die.
Imagine an industrial site built for commercial use, like a port. One designed in the days before H&S, where safety was supplied by the skilled workers and the sheer number of people living and working on the site.
Now take that site and force by law the removal of all knowledgeable people. Sell off all the houses built to house the workers that over see the dangerous workings. Force all the workers off site and out of sight. In fact remove all the people possible without providing a substitute way of monitoring.
Now encourage all the unfamiliar ignorant people to ride bikes at high speed around the dangerous workings. Let children play on the working with no adult in sight. Rent out the old industrial vehicles to drunk holiday makers that have no concepts of the force required to stop 20 tonnes. Have deep water pools and no means of escape. Facilitate the tipping of all waste and rubbish on the site by the removal of any people that can observe.
Would any government with any sense support these actions. So why did they put the canals in the hands of the clearly incompetent charity.
What is Birmingham? HS2 is to enable more people to come to London and spend money or work. The only people it's supposed to help to get oop t'north are MPs on Thursday afternoons and BBC employees to Madchester — and we'll be paying their fares.
Ah – you mean the south.
Sockpuppet whipping himself up into a tat-like frenzy. Up the dosage.
For £50 billion you could bulldoze Brimingham and rebuild it 20 mins nearer London.
I don't understand, nor much like this cartoon. Any gold bricks emerging from H2S will most certainly not be scattered across the countryside.
I shall be taking great care about where gold bricks end up.
Those gold bricks will end up, in part, with one of the most corrupt corporations in the world, Siemens.
Google Siemens corruption for details.
I'll have you know that Siemens flew through the contractor pre-qualification process, clean as a whistle – at least they will have, once the title deeds to that rather agreeable villa in Santorini are in my solicitor's hands.
It will be interesting to see if, after this overly expensive scheme is ditched, any public money has to be paid out to compensate participants in the scheme.
More than likely, I think they are trying to see into the future, with Londonistan airports at their limits with the number of passengers, they see HS2 as very easy alternative to building a another airport as Borus wants, to provide a fast connection to the north (bearing in mind any where north of the M25 is near the North pole) and Scotland. As pointed out they cannot maintain their existing infrastructure (rail and road) any one seen the state of the roads lately or the condition of railways admittedly vastly improved upon from a very low base ~40 years ago. What these planners do not seem to get through their heads is that you can build a fast like road or rail between 2 or more points but if the approaches to the destination are not provided for you get the blockages. When Dave Caves goes (first Class of course) on a rail journey everything will beheld up so his train runs smoothly and bang on time, so he sees no problem.
What like we would have to do if we cancel the 2nd aircraft carrier you mean. In fact it's cheaper to build it than cancel it. How they ever signed that off is an utter scandal.
This lot kept Gordy's project on, then decided they wanted to use US aircraft and after 2 years then changed their minds again back the original aircraft, both change of minds cost in the region of £400M each
There are no gold bricks. Gordon sold them.
I left this country rich in chocolate logs.
Fools gold.
I say What ! "We must take action against Syria " I'm sending both of our troops over there to fire catapults and wave pointy sticks at them
That should show the blighters What !
Pips Peeps !
Just send them over with a box of Swan Vesta matches as the effect will be the same as launching the UK's limited stock of cruise missiles at £1 million a time and much much cheaper…the whole region aflame
A sad, sad situation for Britain and the Conservative party that this idiot is in No.10.
Sad? It is utter lunacy.
Syria is none of our business
Guys, guys, you need me and Ali and the gang.
It would be fecking tragic if it were Labour in power !
Indeed, but only in name.
With Dave we have a continuation of Labour policy and practice which is the problem and why he is a disgrace.
Those who voted Conservative last time I am sure did not vote for this.
In case you missed it Labour are calling for an attack now. Any Burnham has been on Sky stating just that. Thank feck we have Cameron there to at least take a measured view before committing rather than like the lunatic lefties who just want to shoot first and ask questions after in a situation that has little to do with us anyway.
Odd really, as the Ba'athists are closer to Labour than any other British party, secular, socialist and vile.
god, you Tories are thick
Burnham never calls for attacks without hedging it with all sorts of privisos so that in reality he is obviously saying don't do it but in a its-all-the-governments-fault what ever they do way. It's a cheap political trick used by all the liblabcons. It works with dumb arse twats like you.
Dave thinks, "The EU election looms and 20 months the GE must have a war but must make sure we win, got find work for all those soldiers, sailors, airmen, oh, and I will be applauded by the great British public. Vote Con. Vote Dave!"
It's Labour calling for an attack not this coalition. At least gets your facts right before you fill this blog with utter bullshit
Err It was Cameron who phoned Obama and told him "we must act"
Well you are "acting " Dave , acting like you give a fuck
Hasn't it occurred to you, LIEBORE IS NOT IN POWER
If Labour calls for us to intervene in Syria, surely the Tories should realise they must do exactly the opposite.
Labour would love nothing more than the Tories getting embroiled in a messy, unwinnable, expensive Middle East conflict just before an election….
FFS make the towel heads pay up front for the cruise missles etc, we have got to make a profit out of this one , the only bonus will be all the women and children the misssles will eliminate (it never seems to amaze me how this missles and drones seem to be able to select women and children).
Anyway get on with it you know it makes sense, but when are we going to use the proper weapons that are a game changer, and when will be starting forced repatration.
Leading global warmist scientist Kevin Trenberth says 15 year temperature plateau could continue for another 20 as oceans absorb heat.

But, but, but, all those warming models and computer programs, didn't show any plateau, in fact they show temperatures climbing directly with atmospheric CO2 levels.
Don't be silly. This is not about science, it is about belief in the Earth Godess being repaid by fat salaries for her priesthood. Just pay your taxes, sucker.
Yes it certainly is a religion.
If shown an contradicting example they will not believe.
They ask for your "sources". What they mean is, they need to know which book you follow.
They ask who backs the ideas. That means they want to know your evangelist.
Not believing is not an option, everyone must be a believer in another religion.
That confirms the person to be a "blind follower" that can not even comprehend others having an open mind.
Its a con.

Science? It's the modern alchemy.
Global Warming: Where fraud and mainly lefty propaganda subverted science.
Thatcher was the first British fuckwit to agree with the propaganda subverted science.
Of course, she was a really thick cυnt.
Lady Thatcher, read a copy of "Statecraft", her last book in 2002, in which she explains that she had changed her views on the issue and had taken a much more sceptical approach, given the haste with which those who would use any excuse to increase state power had hopped onto the climate change bandwagon.
The fuckwit tried to pretend it was nothing to do with her. After she had done the damage.
Just like all the other things the piece of shit pretended had nothing to do with her decisions – she was on holiday at the time. ha ha ha
In translation:
Looney leftie fuckwit talks out of his arse, shocker!
The BBC can't even get basic weather forecasts right.
My barometer and a 40 year old weather house is more accurate.
So I wouldn't take any notice of experts pontificating about climate change.
I don't give a shit how warm it gets as long as my heating bills go down. If the Southern European countries can manage to live in a continuously warm climate so can we and we wouldn't have to go there for a two week sunshine break. So fuck the climate change doom mongers.
Today I shall be attending the local motion picture outlet in Kirkcaldy to watch production entitled The Smurfs No.2, during which I shall consume a prudent bottle of prune juice and enjoy a bag of rice cakes. Because it's the right thing to do.
Don't forget your GPS unit Gordon, in case you wander off again!
Well that's another fine mess I've got you into!
Good luck everyone
Who needs a powerful armed forces in this day and age? From the day Cameron and his lover Clegg got married in the 'coalition of the deluded' they have dismantled the UK armed forces with the fanatical glee of a CND/green party coalition. Tens of billions pissed up the wall on foreign aid for essentials like space programmes for India and Nigeria and Swiss bank accounts for despots, that is what the 'coalition of the retarded' is all about.
Sad but true. Time to arrest the pair of them.
Look, you should 'feel proud' that your money, taken by force from you, is being pissed away on useless junk, whores and exclusive French villas, by third world despots, dictators and sundry haters of the UK.
Yeah. It should be being spent on useless junk, whores and exclusive English town houses with basements by third world despots, dictators and sundry haters of the UK.
It could being pissed away on useless junk, whores and exclusive English town houses with mega-basements, by third world despots, dictators and sundry haters of the UK.
That's not correct actually although the Press would have you believe so. The cuts in armed service personnel have all been closely worked through with the chiefs of staff and do not affect operational capability.
The serious cuts have been in defence procurement and have been a long time coming and a long time needed. Having seen it and worked with it first hand I would say this is only the beginning. But it does depend on how you regard the objectives of defence procurement, to provide first class kit for the armed services or a gravy train for the arms manufacturers and civil service.
Don't worry lads, it'll all be over by Eid al-Adha
Gor' bless, Captain Vague, sir.
The voice of islamofascism the BBC is moaning about why muslims are being stopped and questioned at airports, apparently its the new high crime for the security services to ask muslim men why they are travelling to terror hot spots.
What goes on at the BBC when they decide on which stories to investigate? Oh yes lets ignore the mass murder of Christians in Egypt and Syria by islamists and concentrate on why a few suspicious looking muslim men are stopped at airports.
If we have an enemy in the form of islamofascism we need to include their BBC collaborators as well, of all the things for the BBC to moan and wail about the plight of young muslim men with beards being stopped at UK airports must rank as one of the most ridiculous complaints the islamofascist dominated BBC has ever come up with.
Oh Egypt RT @TheBigPharaoh They drew a black cross on houses of Christians to mark them to be burned.Not medieval period, this is Egypt 2013

Everyone with a beard should be denied entry to the the UK and that includes women, make it happen.
I have been to Birmingham by train twice in the last 20 years.
I look forward to the new line.
No surprise that Liverpool is excluded from HS2. I suppose people will have to travel to Richard Branson's "Manchester Hub" and change there.
It was once so different.
Lime Street – Euston
Central – Marylebone or St Pancras
Birkenhead Woodside – Paddington
Riverside – Boat trains to London, usually Euston.
Lime St to Euston was great in the 70`s when i worked in London.I could get home for the weekend in 2 1/2 hours.
I have been to Birmingham once in the last twenty years. That was enough to last ten lifetimes.
I went to Birmingham's NEC – by car – 17 years ago. It wasn't any good.
Unfortunately for me, where I live means Birmingham counts as a large shopping centre that sometimes has to be gone to (though Nottingham is far superior in all good ways).
What is so hilariously awful about horrible Brum is illustrated by the Selfridges store being way more snotty than the real one in London, and it's rubbish.
….The countries that have HSRail,are they financially sound,with low unemployment and no national debt?????
Let's face it if it were not for Liblabcon pro- immigration policies we wouldn't need new railways or roads or airports.
It's called population replacement, where have you been hiding for the last 16 years?
You can send them all to Portsmouth. We will, take as many as you can handle. I will fix up the planning permissions and my boys will build the apartments for them just as we have been doing for the last 10 years and they will all vote for me. I, personally have arranged for 26.1% of asylum seekers, allocated to the south of England, to come in to the city during this period and it has made us all very very rich.
The additional spin off is political donations from my very rich boys which keeps the Liberal Democrat Party sweet on me.
Ethnic Cleansing you mean.
London has now less than 50% white British.
So Call Me Dave and Georgie Boy have made another mess
The stink they've raised with HS2 is worse than H2S.
Yeah whereas the smell from petrol and diesel fumes from cars and lorries on our streets is like spring flowers.
I went to buy a TGV ticket from Paris a while back and I soon realised I would need to arrange a mortgage.
I do not know whether it is me but the rail workers always seem to be striking about something, retiring at 50 and insisting on time off in addition to maternity and paternity leave.
What with all the subsidies SNCF gets from the taxpayer I believe it is cheaper to just drive out of Paris top up with a tank of petrol and pay those private companies their inflated toll fees.

Sensible. Syria is none of our business.
Neither is Israel but that doesn't stop every batshit crazy lefty doing everything they can to bring down its existence.
syria was a french protectorate after WW1. So they should sort it out.
But the Frogs will have no problem with supplying the arms ….
Which is a very sensible approach. They make the money, and hopefully all sides blow themselves to smithereens, women and children included. Fewer future immigrants!
But then they'll need more breeding immigrants who can be sold more arms so they can blow each other up.
La machine de guerre continue à rouler.
Ha – so the French are surrendering before the war has started.
No they would stand shoulder to shoulder with Belgium….. Oh? Yes I see what you mean

Bill Gaygue looks at home among the despotic Arab sodomites. I wonder why?
You seem obsessed with William Hague, other Government ministers are available you Moron.
yes – its not so much that we could ever achieve Robin Cook's moral foreign policy – but there's a strong case for running foreign policy from and at home – the lower the budget the fewer the temptations
it's cool that those guys carry a table cloth about on their heads, always ready for a meal, I can see that.
It is simple enough. All countries that sound like they end in 'rear' should be split into two countries. It worked for Korea. Look at how well they get on. So why not Syria, Algeria, Bulgaria, etc? It makes as much logical sense as linking earth tremors with fracking.
The bail skipper Assange? No chance of 'freedom' whatsoever, I hope.
Earthquakes in Blackpool. Shame the anti-fracking twats can't blame it on that. Imagine the furore if they had been drilling in the area.
But they can blame it on the Global warming for melting the glaciers
Global warming means no more choc-ices.
Even if we get tremors in Merseyside nothing is going to shake my solid as the Rock of Gibraltar benefits and pensions!
They'll blame it on the badger cull – which is their target this week.
It shouldn't last beyond this week though, as Job Centre Plus should be hauling them in for their fortnightly interview next week to see if they've been "actively seeking work".
It was in the Irish sea and they are drilling. It was also very close to the surface.
They are only drilling off-shore wind farms.
"A leading seismologist today confirmed earthquakes felt by Fylde coast residents were a "natural event" – and not part of any activity by gas firms in the area.
Shocked residents who felt two tremors yesterday morning had questioned whether they were connected to seismic testing currently being carried out by Halite Energy in Knott End or previous exploratory drilling work by shale gas firm Cuadrilla Resources Ltd.
Philip Mitchell, of Blackpool and Fylde Green Party, has called for a "proper investigation into what caused" the tremors.
But Glenn Ford, seismologist at the British Geological Survey, said: "These earthquakes appear to be no different from the few hundred or so natural events that are recorded by the BGS seismograph network every year and there is no reason to conclude they are cause of any fracking processes."
There are no records of earthquakes in the Blackpool area of that size.
It is like denying there was no explosion at a quarry and stating that there were many gun shots heard over the years and that makes it OK.
Also at 5km depth it is in the zone of the gas drilling. Also why would one group state the area was secure for radioactive burying and another that it was normal for earthquakes.
I hope the tower was built to withstand these earthquakes
Phillip Mitchell ???
Is he moonlighting from his day job at the Arches in Eastenders ?
( that 's assuming he' still there —- i have not seen the sad dirge for the past ten years and my gp says my depressive state pre 2003 is completely cured )
Glenn Ford ???!!!
are they all failed actors up in Blackpool ???
So those gas rigs do not exist! They also are drilling from the land.
Yet again the greens Cherry pick their science. When the scientists say that yesterday's quake was caused by relief of pressure from when the glaciers melted, the greens say the scientists are wrong and it must be fracking.
Best the greens don't rely on science for proving a global warming that dies not exist then.
What has it to do with GW? How on earth can a scientist know when they can not even provide the means to predict the most drilled and active earthquake zone in the world. They are just reporters.
They certainly could not have come up with a conclusive answer so quickly. Any answer at this stage can only be a theory. You seem ignorant of even the idea of science.
Try looking up the pressure used in fracking and then equate that to a few km thick ice sheet. It might be a suprise?
The whole of the mainland is tilting back to how it was before the glaciers came down from the North and weighed heavy on Jockland and pivoting the SE from beneath the sea.
Jockland is now rising up and London going back beneath the waves

The sort of sums being talked about for the cost of the new 'high speed' link, would be better and more effectively spent on upgrading the present system.
Most of my neighbours who travel by train to work would love a good, reliable and economic service to the Leeds and Manchester conurbations. Services at our local unmanned station have been reduced in an attempt to close it down, we campaigned for years incidently to get a station reopened after the Beeching 'axe'. The spurious arguement is that less people are using the service( caused by the old trick of reducing the timetable, if there's no train you can't use it!) Local passenger and campaigners have recently had some limited success in halting this process. After years of campaigning and negotiating, we are now seeing engineering works in progress to re-establish and renovate existing,but disused track and signal infrastructure to provide services once again out of Lancashire via West Yorkshire to connect with the North West rail system, allowing effective cross Pennine services to Manchester, Merseyside and linking with the national network via that route. Many would argue that this is the most cost effective and sensible use of money to improve rail infrastucture and generate economic activity in the regions and the nation. I feel many residents in some of the leafy tory shireswould also agree.
Remember the Woodhead route? An electrified inter-city line between Manchester and Sheffield and closed to passengers about 1970?
Often wondered if all those Parliamentary bills to build railroads going back too 1830s are they still in force, and is all that abandoned railroad land is still classed as a railroad , have the bills been taken back to Parliament to cancel and how many are still in force, I think it will really upset Tesco and the rest of the supermarkets if the bills are still valid, the latest a train route thru a supermarket, just think of the marketing opportunities, most people seem to want to drive cars around supermarkets why not a station in them .
who is it meant to be ?
its comfortable travelling to London at current speeds
the needs are
a) gradual improvement of service quality/reliability
(inc more legroom)
b) greater capacity
since the latter will be required by freight too – HS2 is a hindrance to development
perhaps Swiss Railways should be subbed the job
You have a point. The Swiss can build railways up to the top of mountains fro a few tourists. We can't even afford to build them on the flat for millions of commuters.
But then the Swiss don't give away HS2 size billions a year to the EU.
Britain after the canals used rail lines for transport, then Mr Macadam invented roads, Mr Diesel the car and suddenly people could go where they wanted whenever they wanted.
Trains are a symbol of socialism and genocide.
Very true.
A car is individual freedom of choice.
A train is mass communism taking you to where the state wants to take you.
Oh FFS. Roads don't take you to where the state wants to take you?
Excuse me but I think you will find that roads were invented quite a long time before railways.
we also have to remember the faster you go the more energy you need. HS2 will be electrified so the leccy guzzling trains will be using megawatts we dont have cos we have shut all the power stations.
And the faster you go , the more frequently the rails need replacing. This is steel to steel contact with very high wear rates. Imagine if your car had bearings that were just steel on steel, with no lubricant. They would last 5 minutes. Railways are 19th century and only suited to countries with money to burn.
Car firms abandoned rail transport for new cars because of the damage to paintwork caused by hot metal fragments…

Polish McShame having a go at Russia.
I remember someone telling me that there is a line axed by Beeching to the Midlands that is largely still intact as far as land, cuttings etc is concerned but it couldn't be resurrected for ultra fast "supertrains". If capacity is one of the problems why not just use this line again for extra normal traffic.
Would that be the old Great Central main line? Marylebone – Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham Victoria and Sheffield.
Nottingham was a magnificent station and the shopping centre that replaced it still has space in the basement to allow for a couple of tracks I believe.
shows all lines both in use and historically.
Why is Paddy Ashdown always wheeled out whenever there's some conflict going on? And he does love his hyperbole. He said Syria is now "approaching end game". Christ, he talks like a film trailer voiceover.
He was a an officer in the SBS. Gives him more right than most I suppose.
Lord Ashdown is always good for a sound bite and filler statement, he never refuses to comment any time day or night. In fact we can't keep the Twat from phoning our switchboard 24/7 asking to be given a slot on air.
Normally have no time for Major Paddy or his opinions but he was right when he says the British Media need to calm down and stop telling us war is imminent….and says that US media is much more even in its reporting…but then again the British media always tends to urge the country to get into a war(as they did with Iraq)and then spend the next 10 years telling everybody that they were against it
That's good to hear. I'll give Paddy a call now and book him for PM this evening. I take every opportunity to give him a voice on the radio.

How much would it cost for us to pay the IRA for them all to murder each other?
His family are proud to say that his 'name has been cleared' because he WASN'T an informer on a bunch of fascist thugs, but a stand-up, reg'lar one himself.
The inflated cost of HS2 is a waste.
To build a railway cost efficient one needs to follow the US. Cheap labour from Ch!na is the way to do it, with locally produced steel.
These days Ch!na can offer turn key solutions at a fraction of the cost of out of date inferior quality European firms.
There is no point in wasting money keeping wasteful European contractors and labour going. For the Keynes effect to work the investment must be domestic. For sensible technology upgrade and more efficient labour one should go with Ch!na not Europe.
8,000,000,000 pounds to build the line.
Ignoring costs of rolling stock, staff and upkeep
Say a ticket costs 100 pounds
8,000,000,000 divided by 1000 equals 80,000,000 passengers required to pay the bill.
That's why we need more enrichment.

Found this elsewhere, although my sympathies are with the poor British taxpayer not the German voter.
"The poor German voter, though likely to vote Angela back into power next month, is becoming increasingly unwilling to bear the brunt of Greece's next bailout – likely, when it comes to it, to be significantly larger than the figure now being 'leaked' by the Commission. And since German investors also have the most to lose from a 'haircut' on the Greek banks this is not too popular an option either. The latest wheeze is to increase an EU handout of structural funds – ERDF as we know it in the UK – by the value of the bailout, allowing Greece to use existing domestic funds for the bailout. Except of course that non-Euro nations such as the UK pay for ERDF.
ERDF has traditionally been the mechanism by which tax funds from northern Europe are transferred by the EU to the Mafia and other criminal organisations and to bent and corrupt politicians across the Olive belt. The remainder is used to build motorways going nowhere and unused airports. Greece is a nation notoriously infested with bent and corrupt politicians, who no doubt have recently been feeling the pinch in the proceeds of theft, fraud and peculation. The latest bail out will be designed to buy-back their loyalty to the Commission. Getting the UK to contribute to this is the icing on the cake for Merkel."

Hello. We're cuwwently having a polithy reviewww. Goodbye.
Alistair, flip-flopping as he did with his expenses.
It was great to be able to announce an unfunded grand project like HS2 when in government. It was worth a few votes, and made it look like we had the country's future at heart. Of course now Labour are out of power, and are a financially responsible party, we realise that such a massively expensive project is completely unaffordable. We are also on the side of all the English whose villages and homes will be blighted by the project. However, we would revive the project on regaining power, if it had been abandoned in the meantime.

Hi all ! I see that the Sainted Tone's tenure as Middle East Peace Envoy hasn't quite lived up to expectations but then neither did his ten years as PM deliver anything apart from massive Debt and massive enrichment.
I can add to the Debt and enrichment by helping 'sex up' any documents or 'evidence' you have to hand. Gimme a shout when you need me. Oh, bring money too. I'm a champagne socialist, dontcha know ?
I'm looking on the bright side, statistical speaking I'll be dead long before the rail line gets opened, pity they can't re-vamp the canal system instead at a fraction of the cost, the lines of communication are already in place done by some people 250 years ago that understood about commerce, infrastructure, engineering and cost control.

You have to wonder why railways in most other countries are far cheaper to use and to build. Is it just the British attitude or what? Britain was the first country to make railways commercially. Lots of private rail companies made lots of money both building and running them.

Those Syrian savages are now attacking UN Inspectors.
For Christ's sake Cameron let these Arabs kill one another and stick to getting that railway built.
The more you pause to think about this issue(which Cameron & Co don't want the public to do in their rush to war in case they differ in their opnion)it's more likely that radical islamist elements of the "Opposition" carried out the chemical attack.Let's face it these guys wouldn't worry about the odd few hundred women and kids being killed in their jihad to form an islamist state. Their aim is to gull the gullible western democracies to launch an attack against Assad and create the scenario where they involve the whole region.
Cameron and Hague have fallen for the line totally and HOW can Hague say that he knows the the Assad Regime was responsible when the UN Inspectors cannot say that ? No one knows definitely who actually committed the atrocity. There is simply not enough evidence to justify military action being taken.
Hague would do better to shut the fuck up and stop inflaming the situation. Nothing is going to be achieved by lobbing a few expensive Cruise Missiles at targets in Syria just the opposite and in any event nobody knows whether Russia has supplied the Assad Regime with state of the art missile shield and it would be tad ironic if the Syrians shot down the missiles in flight. What would Cameron and Hague do then ?
They do seem to be a bit gayed out on this one.
Has any atrocity actually happened, or is this another 'have you received the guns' situation ?

Among their demographic, UKIP claim to be attracting people whom haven't voted in 10, 20+ years.
It's a myth that the young do not support UKIP.
It's just that they have other ways of going about it that are not quite so 19th century.
Maybe, but that's not the way that Liberal-Democracies work. These operate by rule of law where the laws protect business and individual human freedoms. If the law doesn't explicitly proscribe behaviours, then they are legal. Morality doesn't come into it, as it is illegal to infringe people's Human Rights etc. Do you see what I am saying? I don't think many people fully understand this. That's how the system works. It abuses people's naivety and lack of understanding of the political system they live under. Some, of course, say that's precisely what's good about it. People can make free choices they say. That's why such (right-wing libertarian) people don't like the empirical evidence about the true nature of diversity where many people function like grown up children and need protection by the state because of how they are physically made.
We live in an anti socialist society. Most don't see the relationship between that, ASBOs and crime etc. It's the price of economic anarchism, and that's all the 'choice' you'll get next month, i.e. economic-anarchist soft centres, with red, blue or yellow wrapping.
I dispute your analysis, but not the point you are arguing towards.
i) Democracies give way to Tyranny. This is very evident now. See Plato.
ii) Morality has not part in politics. See Machiavelli among others for detail and reasoning.
iii) Morality is centrally important on the issue of infringing human rights. The statutory legal framework is a fiction which is only as good as its enforcement. Common / Natural law are where fundamental rights are 'defined' but only in so much as there is a consensus among men to organize society in a certain way.
– Incidentally: The morality aspect here goes directly to the libertarian position.
Strong moral codes are self enforcing and much stronger than pure rules based reasoning.
iv) The state is a tool that society uses to run certain aspects of itself. It should reflect the values and character of the society at large.
A state which dictates and attempts to shape the society which created it is a state run amok, and reflects an erosion of democracy as it transforms to tyranny.
The libertarian arguments for reduced size of state are important in order to limit the negative effects.
v) The state impacting on peoples lives unnecessarily represents the daily attack on basic human rights within the UK.
Economic anarchism is not the cause of current economic problems, it is the state intervening in the economy, whether to 'stabilize prices', actively distribute wealth or totally mis-allocate capital through a benefit system which has caused the current problems.
Anarchism of state expansion and oppression is the real negative that is causing a deterioration of living conditions in the UK.
vi) The introduction of ASBO etc. in order to silence and oppress would be dissidents has increased crime figures artificially.
This is expected with policies that arbitrarily criminalize the younger generation whose political expression is not in tune with an unnatural political order which is being enforced quite un-democratically on the people of the UK.
You and 'im are both wrong.
Ethnic Cleansing is taking place in the UK, that's not mere diversity.
I agree with you. I disagree with the "think tank" (it brings to mind a manky goldfish bowl that needs the water changing) – I used to vote, back when I hit voting age, but far from "forging" a lifetime habit, it simply made me realise what a total waste of time voting is.
Unless you live in a marginal. And even then, if the Muzbot round the corner is going to cast 40 postal votes on behalf of himself, his wife and two daughters, you're vote's outvoted anyway.

Regarding Government IT;
The Germans have warned that Windows 8 has a deliberate security loophole which allows Microsoft (and the NSA) control over the users software and hardware.

Moody software?!?
Maybe. But I think it's just untested bugridden crapware written by cretins.
If you get Access 2007 and download Microsoft's Northwind database, there's an embedded macro (don't ask me where, it's in there somewhere) that contains code functionally the same as the following:
if a = 0 then
if a 0 then
I mean, Jesus. This is a company with $70 billion and it employs fucktards who wrote code like that.
OK, so this blog arsed up the macro. Second "if" should be "a not equal to 0″, but it removed the less than and greater than symbols.
Looks bad in VBA, but it may have been done for performance reasons.
Remember that VBA gets compiled down to a thoroughly mangled COM / C++ by the interpreter at run time, so counter intuitive high level usually indicates performance boost at run time.
Be aware that if else blocks usually run a lot slower than sequential if blocks.
This is usually fixed in decent C / C++ compilers with optimization, and Java also handles better now (from 1.6 onwards)
What is desired for performance / stability (important in multi-threaded) is to ensure that the execution stack proceeds sequentially with minimal jumps or memory paging.
VBA compiler really makes a mess of this from what I recall, and COM automation (which is what VBA is) has many other issues to be concerned about.
'Numpty' style code in other interpreted languages is usually also there for this reason.
If you look at what is going on memory / security wise you may not wish to use this MS software period.

Might it be something to do with populist Liberal-Democracy? The advisors (acting on behalf of the string-pullers) run FOCUS groups so have the puppets putting on a show to get votes from 'carefully targeted demographics' – that is, from largely stupid/emotional people these days.
You could analyse what's going on correctly down to the molecular level and it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference unless it got them votes.
That's populism – that's Liberal-Democracy (it should just be called 'consumerism').

As a doctor there is, in my opinion, a major problem with the moniker 'ding aling whatever'. The clown is obviously fucking insane. It is a fucking moron and should be locked up for the next 100 years.
My Dear Lord, It is obvious that this c*unt is totally insane and should be exterminated.
C*unt calling yourself 'ding ailing whatever shite' post your address and then we will dispose of you, c*unt.

It's seems by watching bBBC and Sky, the West is getting ready for another war, Camoron stay out of it, we have enough problems which you should be sorting out, we do not want any more coffins of British troops coming home, if you want a war get all the politicians together and go and fight it yourselves, NO to British troops being used, 2015 not too far away

Looks like the left trying to use victims of child abuse as fodder for a smear campaign against the Tories, and to further their own political cause.
That being said, the police investigations into the historical abuse which did go on need to be stepped up, and Hague does have some serious questions to answer over his handling of North Wales, which regrettable does not look like anything except a shameless cover up, but mainly at the behest of a local authority whose insurers were going to refuse to cover the liability.

The left think collectively as a hive, so pin this on Miliband, or whoever is running the left these days.
A smear???? Hague needs to answer the question 'why did he meet Leon Brittan on Brighton beach one morning'? It wasn't for a Neil Kinnock re-enactment.
What happened to to the old Hague that wanted to keep the pound and gave the middle finger to the EU? What happened to him?
Libertarian anarchism (aka the Austrian/Frankfurt schools) probably bought him off with kosker shekels.
That or he's just very dim.
Does anyone really think that if a senior Westminster politician was that desperate for a bit of under-age abuse, they would travel all the way to Wrexham for it?
Didn't stop him crossing the border for "Jolly Jenkins"
There's plenty of historical abuse claims involving the
BBC yet to be fully investigated.
It's somewhat ironic that another UK regime finds itself gearing up for another illegal war before the Chilcot Inquiry has even been concluded and published.
Am on the opposite side of things politically to Pilger, but on this he is bang on the money with this.
A good example of a real investigative journalist from the days when the Mirror was good (before it started competing with the Sun…) and tracking his career one can see the pattern of how these guys were sidelined / bought off.
Encouraging aspiring journo's to follow his model would be a benefit to all.
Cannot find on uTube anymore, but his take down of a moronic Australian TV journalist who was interviewing him on some serious topics a few years ago was classic.
Very polite, when Pilger got the message across he was not impressed, the idiot news caster backed into a corner and asked what he thought she should do.
With a WTF sigh, Pilger responded: 'Read. Just read.'
The BBC and Labour are calling for war. In these circumstances always do the direct opposite of what Labour and the leftards want you to do.
It's safer , kills less people and certainly is economically better all round.
Point of dispute…whilst Labour are generally ***** in fairness rather than calling for war they(and two thirds of Tory MPs) are against it although I agree that the BBC is pro-war and cant wait for the missiles to rain down on Damascus.
Meanwhile Cameron has been in contact with Putin and is likely to agree to recall of Parliament on Wednesday and John Kerry is to make special statement on Chemical Attack at 7.00pm GMR according to Washington Post
John Kerry is a bit of a c'unt.
Don't trust.
Andy Burnham was on sky news demanding action and war. Would have thought that 13000 Staffordshire and the body count still rising was enough deaths for him …….. obviously not?
The BBC, Labour and the Mirror are calling for British action in Syria.
That should be enough for the Tories to keep the hell out.

O'Bama Justification for Assault on Syr!a:
You is rac!st if you say I can't.
This religion of piss is causing rather a lot of war-like activity, isn't it ? Have we been misled ? Are the mozzies simply barbaric murderers with no respect or regard for the lives of fellow human beings ?
Yes, so just leave them to it to kill and maim as many as they can.
Well well well. Once again we have UN weapons inspectors investigating a Muslim country, but the west and the mong media have already made up their minds to attack and murder.
You know I'm sure I remember this from once before but for the life of me I can't think where it was.
Re Syria. We sell millions of pounds worth of armaments to Saudi Arabia. They're muslims. Muslims are being killed. Why don't the Saudis sort it out?
A lot of the insurgents are Saud! armed, and from Saud!.
Saud! is part of the problem.
Beacuse Saudi is a pro West (i.e. another US puppet) dictatatorship. It would not look good from a PR point of view, to have a non-democratic arab theocratic dictatorship attacking a secularist republic thatis Syria.
The UK (another US puppet state) is claimed to be a democracy. The PR looks better for the West that they do the dirty work.
"They (the West) have not been able to come up with any proof but are saying at the same time that the red line has been crossed and there can be no delay," Lavrov said
Lavrov also accused the West of double standards in foreign policy.
He said: "You cannot fight with a regime only because you don't like the dictator that heads it and then not fight another regime where you like the authoritarian ruler."
Well as the reason given for supplying Arab states with Arms and training is to provide stability in the region (nowt to do with loadsa dosh and bribes/backhanders) then it's about time they provided that stability.
Or have we been fed bullshit again?
Dave and Barry want to be war leaders – Barry because he doesn't have a legacy except for failure, and Dave because he wants to be re-elected.
Helps if you fight a popular war, though, doesn't it ? Fighting one that's irrelevant and unpopular ain't too smart.
If only Hague was as concerned with 'humanity' when Isr@el was bombarding the civilians of G@za with chemical weapons a few years back. No talk of 'action' against Isr@el then, of course.
Or when America was using white phosphorous indiscriminately in Fallujah.
How many thousands of civilians lost their lives in those 'operations'?
Yes, the hypocrisy is quite telling, but then atrocities carried out by "democracies" just don't count.
Let me see now The UN are they predisposed to silence in some circumstances?
e.g. A certain state faked up at least 12 passports from other states (Ireland, The UK, New Zealand and others) and sent their team of killers into another state to assassinate one man. The team of assassins managed to creep in; do the job and creep out and not one of them has been found or indicted for anything – they could have for all I know placed canisters of chemicals / intoxicants atop the hotel where that hit was done and then later on just ping in a missile to the coordinates so the canisters released their contents – hey presto.
In / Out shake the world about.
And of course there could be the remote detonation canisters just placed there … waiting … to go off at the same time as a fly past … what a ruse eh?
Them UN experts they'll never twig that possibility though.
So, if it turns out that it was the Jihadist rebels (affiliated with Al Qaeda) and not Assad who used the chemical weapons, will Ban Ki-moon demand that Obama and his Brit lapdogs attack the rebels with missiles?
The hypocrisy here is staggering and shameful.
But we all realize by now that this is Iraq version 2.0 – in another week they'll be telling us Assad has been buying yellow cake from Niger and poor old Colin Powell will recycle his slide show. All so devious and dirty.
As for big- talk little Willie, he seems to have a Napoleon complex and ought to be interned in a facility for the criminally insane before he does real harm.

I met with top British officials, who confessed to me, that they were preparing something in Syria… This was in Britain not in America. Britain was organizing an invasion of rebels into Syria. They even asked me, although I was no longer Minister of Foreign Affairs, if I would like to participate. Naturally, I refused, I said I am French, that does not interest me…"

Re Syria
Notice how the BBC only seeks comment from US gov't spokespersons ews channel) yet never from any of the SCO countries suchas Russia and China.
Where's the balance? They once boasted of impartiality as being in their genes…
I've never seen the BBC so gung ho for killing people before.
When ever there is revolution or major civil unrest in a country, it's the national broadcasters who get "sacked" first. They tend to be seen to doing the incumbent regime's bidding on behalf of the state. This is especially so ifthey are funded by the state.
Have you not noticed how the LibLabCON policy on all things related to immigration to foreign policy they seem to be joined at the hip. It's a libertarian anarchy thing. The BBC is libertarian just as the LibLabCON are.
The BBC want a war so they can seploy all their top mongs in tin hats and bullet proof vests.
The BBC can them tell us what great coverage of this war they provide and that we must continue to fund the BBC.
Sky will let loose Alex Crawford who will go off on one of her anti men rants again (she really is mentally unbalanced) and go on about tanks as penis's.
I find myself looking to Al Jazeera and RT more and more.

Ah, looks like the Kerry statement won't be shown live now as it will probably require heavy editing should there be any awkward questions from "real" reportors i.e. if someone asks for concrete proof of Assad responsibility for the chem attacks.
The BBC is so desperate for Cameron to get embroiled in a
disastrous war.
No thought for the thousands of innocents that will be slaughtered,
British soldiers that will be killed and maimed,millions wasted and
a once decent country flattened.
TheBBC just wants Cameron to end up like Blair-defined by his

Yeah that's what I think. Labour were crucified over Iraq yet are calling for the coalition to do the same with BBC backing.

(leader of the party that closed all the pits and thus made us reliant on foreign energy)
Realise that if we piss Putin off , he will just turn off our gas supply ?
then Syria friendly A rab states will gut our oil supply , and we as a country will be in Deep Shit
Your party put us in this position , now come up with a way to get us out of it
Or some may find themselves on the receiving end of a polonium enema.
Comment of the day contender!
Better increase the pace of fracking and get the French to build us some nuclear power stations.
Bastards. They were starting back next week anyway. With a recall they will harvest thousands of pounds in expenses each.
And probably via first class at such short notice.
You couldn't make it up!
Firstly, Labour closed more pits that the Cons did.
Labour – under Miliband – committed Britain to a "carbon neutral" future. No coal-fired power stations.
How, exactly, would that fit in with coal mining?
No coal-fired power stations, no need for coal, no need for coal mines, no need for .. drum-roll .. miners.
" if we piss Putin off , he will just turn off our gas supply ?"
We don't use ANY Russian gas. None. At all.
You do read the papers, don't you? No? Oh, OK.
"Your party put us in this position , now come up with a way to get us out of it"
What position? The one that exists only in your tiny little uneducated socialist mind?
I despise the Conservatives, but you make me despise Labour even more. You really are fucking cretins.
The gas may not have, but most of the coal certainly does…
Well said they are utter cretins
How many pits did Labour re-open in their 13 years? Then there was an energy minister called Ed Miliband who decided to shut down all our coal stations and replace them with windmills. Oh and a Miss Abbott who campaigned against coal fired stations in the South East.
Not forgetting that Labour shut twice as many pits as were shut in the Golden years of Mrs T's outstanding Premiership anyway.
But, but we have all those windmills ashore and at sea to provide us with free energy, plus we have all that gas the Irish sea produces, we don't need all that fracking as the Greeens and the eco nutters say, we don't need i,t besides AlJa Beeb have started it's Global warming drivel again.
You are a mong yourself.
(leader of the party that closed all the pits and thus made us reliant on foreign energy)
Labour closed more pits and in half the time. Go check the facts before you spout bollocks and then fuck off you lefty retard
Was it not Blair who signed this country up for impossible omission cuts on All our
carbon out put , without reading what he signed for , when the rest of Europe were only signing up for a small amount of cuts ?

Brussels / Strasbourg would be better targets from the UK's point of view.
With a little carpet bombing of Madrid.
Washington / London just need to stop picking fights with the muzzies.

So that's it then. No point in recalling parliament, the decision has already been taken. Once more the UK is at war with a middle East State.
But why the rush? It's as if they don't want the UN inspectors to inspect.

Sky breaking news
Syria: UN Inspectors Find 'Valuable Evidence
I wonde if it has Assads finger prints on the missile
What is the West's real agenda? This is the unasked and unanswered question. Clearly, the US, UK, and French governments, which have displayed continuously their support for dictatorial regimes that serve their purposes, are not the least disturbed by dictatorships. They brand Assad a dictator as a means of demonizing him for the ill-informed Western masses. But Washington, UK, and France support any number of dictatorial regimes, such as the ones in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and now the military dictatorship in Egypt that is ruthlessly killing Egyptians without any Western government speaking of invading Egypt for "killing its own people."
Clearly also, the forthcoming Western attack on Syria has nothing whatsoever to do with bringing "freedom and democracy" to Syria any more than freedom and democracy were reasons for the attacks on Iraq and Libya, neither of which gained any "freedom and democracy."
The Western attack on Syria is unrelated to human rights, justice or any of the high sounding causes with which the West cloaks its criminality.
The Western media, and least of all the American presstitutes, never ask Obama, Cameron, or Hollande what the real agenda is. It is difficult to believe than any reporter is sufficiently stupid or gullible to believe that the agenda is bringing "freedom and democracy" to Syria or punishing Assad for allegedly using chemical weapons against murderous thugs trying to overthrow the Syrian government.
Of course, the question wouldn't be answered if asked. But the act of asking it would help make the public aware that more is afoot than meets the eye. Originally, the excuse for Washington's wars was to keep Americans safe from terrorists. Now Washington is endeavoring to turn Syria over to jihad terrorists by helping them to overthrow the secular, non-terrorist Assad government. What is the agenda behind Washington's support of terrorism?
Perhaps the purpose of the wars is to radicalize Muslims and, thereby, destabilize Russia and even China. Russia has large populations of Muslims and is bordered by Muslim countries. Even China has some Muslim population. As radicalization spreads strife into the only two countries capable of being an obstacle to Washington's world hegemony, Western media propaganda and the large number of US financed NGOs, posing as "human rights" organizations, can be counted on by Washington to demonize the Russian and Chinese governments for harsh measures against "rebels."
The Ch!nese just crush dissent: See what happens to the Uighurs.
Russ!a does likewise with the Ch3chens. (Who incidentally were responsible for the Boston bombings earlier this year)
If anything this current strategy will shift public opinion in western countries very much against the established !slamic populations. The backlash in the UK will be much greater than that seen after Woolwich, and the government could be forced by public opinion to seriously impact the basic human rights of muzzies in the UK.
It may be in part to try and destabilize internally and provide valuable propaganda, but when the target of that propaganda (us) do not give a shit, and perhaps also want to see the muzzies out domestically, then it all falls apart.
This is more about oil and gas into Turkey and supply for Europe bypassing Russ!a. Which is not going to work either as Russ!a will likely establish a base in Greece and look like they are going to be controlling the East Med for the foreseeable future.
There is also the small matter of thinning down inventory of materiel which is coming towards the end of its service life, and the US desire for credible competition from European defense contractors to allow the US government some leverage to force US contractors to reduce their prices.
One plus point is establishment of land for Kurdistan. This would extend into Northern Syr!a which Assad seems to be Ok with at present. Not too much mention of this in the Western press.
You left out this one…
Another advantage of the radicalization of Muslims is that it leaves former Muslim countries in long-term turmoil or civil wars, as is currently the case in Iraq and Libya, thus removing any organized state power from obstructing Israeli purposes.
The EUSSR wants Turkey it is the gatekeeper of Europe.

Washington is driving the world closer to nuclear war than it ever was even in the most dangerous periods of the Cold War. When Washington finishes with Syria, the next target is Iran. Russia and China will no longer be able to fool themselves that there is any system of international law or restraint on Western criminality. Western aggression is already forcing both countries to develop their strategic nuclear forces and to curtail the Western-financed NGOs that pose as "human rights organizations," but in reality comprise a fifth column that Washington can use to destroy the legitimacy of the Russian and Chinese governments.
Agreed. All the mongs in the US and Westminster are doing is forcing more nations to get nukes.
You can hardly blame Iran for wanting them when the look around at what's happened all over the middle east.
I assume Obama is frit of the Chem weapons because they are very easy tio deploy in a city environment, the Tokyo subway for example. And he does not want them leaving Syria
But to say their use crosses a line is pure spin. He is effectively condoning the bombing and shooting of people as acceptable. Given the choice most of us would probably choose 1 minute of Sarin effects rather than hours/days of excruciating agony from being blown apart or incinerated if forced to.
Does Obama really think this is an OK way to be killed as shown in this very graphic video out of Syria? Use the link below to view the You tube video without having to pass the censor (yet again hypocrisy as they show the gas videos without censorship)
The US, UK, and French governments have not explained why it matters whether people in the wars initiated by the West are killed by explosives made of depleted uranium or with chemical agents or any other weapon. It was obvious from the beginning that Obama was setting up the Syrian government for attack. Obama demonized chemical weapons–but not nuclear "bunker busters" that the US might use on Iran. Then Obama drew a red line, saying that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrians was such a great crime that the West would be obliged to attack Syria. Washington's UK puppets, William Hague and Cameron, have just repeated this nonsensical claim. http://rt.com/news/uk-response-without-un-backing-979/ The final step in the frame-up was to orchestrate a chemical incident and blame the Syrian government.
They cannot get UN approval as the UN would not support. Mainly because the claims are b/s.
It is not illegal to use chemical munitions when a formal state of war has not been declared, as is the case.
If such weapons have been used this is more likely to be by the insurgents than the Syr!an government. This is an internal matter for the Syr!an government to deal with and if they require assistance from others they are free to request through regular diplomatic channels / the UN.
To be afraid of Syr!an nerve agents in the US makes no sense.
Syr!a cannot project these weapons over that distance: They would be lucky to range Cyprus.
Sar!n is relatively easy to make if you want to, and easy to do in the US where the pre-cursors are relatively easy to come by.
The flaw to this argument of course is that the US has the largest stockpiles of chemical munitions, yet is somehow more capable of protecting these. This is a very curious assertion.
Following fast and furious, where weapons sold by ATF to Mex!can drug cartels (an O'Bama approved policy) found their way back on to the US street and were used in numerous killings of US citizens, this assertion becomes weaker.
Time to try again on this one.

So not only will we all be funding the 1 million a pop cruise missiles to destroy a few toilets on a military airbase, we'll also be shelling out millions in court fees and compo whilst the Tory cuunts stick a few quid in their back pocket from the mongs who make the missiles.
Time to bring in a law that makes politicians and political parties personally financially liable for any court cases and fees that their actions bring about.
LOL – they say all comedy is really tragedy.
Interesting picture.

Spot the war criminal?
Over the weekend, reports emerged suggesting that Israeli intelligence has definitive proof that the chemical attacks last week were carried out by the Syrian army.
According to the German publication Focus, the Israel Defense Forces Unit 8200, the IDF's signals intelligence unit, intercepted communications of the Syrian army during the attack.
"A former Mossad officer told FOCUS the analysis has clearly shown that the bombardment with poison gas missiles was made by Syrian government forces," reports the publication.
Military hawk Professor John Schindler of the U.S. Naval War College tweeted about the story Sunday, adding that Israel swiftly shared the information with the US and other allies.
They took their time didn't they? B/S
does anybody remember the squiggy tapes ? was it ? Some retired banker supposedly radio ham comes on the radio4 and says he is fiddling with his knob and happened to record this conversation over the mobile frequency, 2 days after said conversation took place.
If you 'believe' everything you are 'told' – more the 'fool' are you.
Back in February 2006, as the Leader of the Opposition, David Cameron specifically said that there should be curbs on a Prime Minister's power to go to war. In order to help restore trust in politics, the BBC reported at the time, Mr Cameron wanted to ensure that "MPs, rather than the prime minister, had the final say over whether troops were committed to military action".
The key get-out clause is "whether troops were commited to military action". The West fights its wars the cowards way these days i.e. by drones and GPS guided tomahawk missiles
The key to Tony is that he subverted the laws [In a criminal enterprise {inc Enterprise act 2004} with Charlie F and several others] illegally and unlawfully and therefore he is not immune from prosecution – but getting a straight lawyer, QC or judge to admit to that and the "void" Lisbon Treaty [it was brought about unlawfully] would be a moral and human victory for natural law.
Seperation of powers – ughh its a myth.
And Carl Gardner and his friends damned well know I know me stuff and that I have him bagged as a pitiful former lowly 'politicised' lawyer minion of the AG Goldsmith.
Quote "Foreign Office November 2nd, 1917.
Dear Lord Rothschild.
I have pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with J[ wish] Zi[ ist] aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the J [ wish] people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-J[ wish] communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by J [ ews] in any other country"
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Z [ ist] Federation.
Yours Arthur James Balfour."
End quote.
They stood under it but it wasn't enough for the greedy bastard zioni.sts.
I am going to re-read the Rosenthal papers from the 70's – so too should some of you f-wit dupes out there.
The BBC is obsessed with sex and gays
Totally off the beaten track, but an interesting news article:
Large Helium reserves have been found in !ran's south pars field.
Given the strategic importance of Helium in missile technology, this could partly why a sprint towards Tehran is being made. The US reserves are likely a lot lower than has been admitted.
My recollection was that the US sold off their helium stocks a while back.
A little digging reveals that there have been rumblings about a helium shortage for a number of years now, and yet it would seem that the US did indeed flog off its stocks.
Here's a report from last year :
Time to get serious and forget any idea of helium-filled party balloons.
The balloon shop down the road has a cylinder of Helium , im sure if America carry out a cruise missile attack on his shop , he would hand it over
It seems the yanks have a borrowing cap
And, come October, off gets turned the tap
Now, that may be a feast of food for thought
But don't you reckon it's time some sod ought
In monosyllables, here, to explain
To Dave that his borrowing is insane?
The fact that Blair and Labour took this country to war on a lie which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands, has not only poisoned the well for future conflicts it has also built in scepticism regarding genuine situations where none previously existed.
Labour did more long term damage to this country that we can ever begin to comprehend. Whenever you stand at a ballot box and should you find your hand clutching that stubby pencil hovering over the Labour tick box ….stop and remember.
Into the valley of death rode the 600
Into the valley of expenses claims rode the 650.
Blair supports a military strike Sky news
FFS DON'T DO IT …Blair wants it and so does Labour
I see our cnut of a PM now wants to launch missiles at Syria.
The useless tool is on the wrong side of every fcuking argument.
Blair's written an article backing intervention which should tell him that it is wrong. But no – the posturing plum wants to cut the big man on the global stage.
He lost my vote long ago but he's now trying to alienate every Tory in the country
I had to sober up a bit before work this morning..
So I drank a few cans of Fosters.
This is one of those very rare moments when 'something must be done'.
Will someone please detain the Prime Minister. He is insane.
Someone allegedly farted on the 07.36 arriving at King's Cross this morning. UN inspectors were summoned but no remaining traces of H2S could be found.
John Baron …. A leadership challenge NOW.
Ditch dipstick Dave and Willy Vague NOW!!!
Priti Patel = New Thatcher = Tory landslide.
I hope 'call me Dave' Dave is willing to fight on a 2nd front, Luton or possibly Tower Hamlets

Can anyone help me? I went on holiday a week ago and returned to find someone has pulled out the stake and Gordon Brown is back and acting as Prime Minister. What did I miss? Has there been a snap election?
