Strange article here on the BBC magazine site, and this caught my eye in particular.. And indeed there were Jewish anarchists in Europe, as there are Muslim extremists now. But there was never a Jewish problem in France, any more than there is a Muslim problem now Not sure the next of kin of those slaughtered in Toulouse might agree with that contention.

Interesting article here on the BBC concerning a massacre of Kenyan Christian by Islamic Jihadists. Now that’s the way I put it but the BBC article is more nuanced and it is quick to get a quote in from the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims condemning this latest atrocity from Al Shabab.

Normally that small but emotive phrase is used to honour and remember those who have either been prepared to sacrifice their lives or indeed have made that final sacrifice in order that the rest of us can live lives safe from tyranny, poverty and corruption.   Today I use it in another sense…Lest we forget just who lead us to the barren future that awaits us, that sacrificed all our futures and … Continue reading →

The latest strategy from the pro-Euro lobby has been put into operation…. BBC: If the Eurozone creates a banking union we’re going to be isolated and frozen out aren’t we, without influence? Expert: Yes, we’re going to be hugely disadvantaged as Frankfurt or Berlin crushes the British financial industry and we are on the outside looking in as the new European empire led by Germany takes on the might of … Continue reading →
