Re: GAME ON!
Much as I am relieved that somebody had the opportunity to stop Osberon's lunatic plan I would rather not leave our future defences in the hands of a bunch of bishops, millionaires and ex-celebs. We need some sort of second chamber, , but direct election would change the primacy of the commons, and ...

Re: Immigration
Hello, Iftikhar! I, like Alan, was agreeing with pretty much everything you said, about immigration, racism and the history of British Imperialism. Only when you started going on about religious segregation, you lost me. We need to learn to understand and respect each other. We can do that best if o...

Scandal of the Particularity, Y'Lordship? Nothing to do with brown envelopes in the House o Commons tearooms, I trust? Speakeasy, you propose? Jolly fine idea. I'll get me clogs on.

Re: GAME ON!
Only saw a bit of it but not sure I understand why it a) wasn't defeated completely and b) why it was so close. The Tories have been doing a lot of threatening and arm-twisting around this. Threastening to flood the house with Tory life-peers to ensure a majority. Threatening to trigger a constitut...

Re: GAME ON!
People are tired of the kind of school-playground nonsense-politics we've been fed the last couple of decades, where every politician has to obey the Party's press enforcer, fearing that any disagreements will be met with breathless reports of 'revolt within the (name your party) ranks', and any (Go...

Re: The future of Israel
Things may be changing a little less slowly now.

Re: GAME ON!
Of course most Tory loyalists will not approve of popular opposition to the tax-credit cuts. But democracy is not just about loyalty to this or that power-seeking club. (= political party) Of course economic right-wingers are in general opposed to redistributive taxation. But there are limits, and t...

Re: GAME ON!
The game's afoot. Whether Lib dem, Blairite, Plaid or SNP party grandees invoke this or that rule is interesting, but it's not really the point. The point is, the tax-credit clawback is shaping up to be Cameron's equivalent of St Maggie's Poll Tax. One nasty-party tax too far for the fair-minded peo...

Re: The future of Israel
There are lots of small things one can and must do, to bring some help to the suffering people of that land, both Jew and Arab. There are lots of tactics our political masters might be exhorted to try. (But I don't think our current masters will do anything to annoy the US) The fact is, a genocide i...

Re: The future of Israel
Bump. Just wrote a piece in reponse to someone who declared that 'There are no Palestinians'. He had seemed a decent, thoughtful fellow, with whom I was having a spirited but intelligent debate. Then he made that statement. I criticised. He justified. So I wrote a longish response. I don't want it t...
