I just saw the British Prime Minister do something, so appallingly tasteless I could not believe it was happening. BBC News just showed a dawn raid by immigration officers on a well-kept home. So far, so tasteless.
Astonishingly, once the evil foreigners had been herded up and taken off to detention camps, where they risk being beaten up or raped, Teresa May and David Cameron arrived, and posed in the victims’ kitchen for trophy pictures.
I thought that what Blair has done since leaving Downing Street had debased the office of Prime Minister to an astonishing degree. But, posing for a stunt in the neat and clean kitchen of some poor immigrant, David Cameron had plumbed levels of tastelessness that again make me realise that the UK has become a country whose values I no longer recognise. The disgusting complicity of the BBC in filming this stunt is equally astonishing.
Are there really so few people left who have the slightest idea of what constitutes decent human behaviour?
End of debate. Imperious Rex has spoken. Now let’s all bow down in obeisance.
Craig,
I am not amused by your skeweed logic. Admittedly, I have also not protested against bombing of Grozny. This was not because I was in favour of that particular mass murder but in thóse distant days I was unaware of the existence of your blog (did it actually exist then?). Does this mean that I am supposed to be silent for ever because I somehow failed to show the flag then?
Your hatred of Putin is not just irrational but dangeours in that you beat the drums with those gangsters driving us to the abyss. Craig, do you want another world war starting in Europe?
Craig; “So if you are a Muslim in Chechnya or Dagestan, whose country was colonised by the Russian Empire in the 1830′s after a very hard fought invasion, you are a “terrorist” if you want your national freedom back, are you?”
Nice revisionist attempt to whitewash & paint the psychopathic Jihadists Wahabis Chechen terrorists and former criminal warlords as “Freedom Fighters”; since their defeat\removal, not only is Chechnya, both Wahabi-free Islamic, enjoying a huge degree of autonomy & prosperity, but it is also is the most faithful and strongest ally of the Russian President.
Craig; “Frankly you pro-Putin people make me sick with your pretended humanitarian concern. Putin killed far more in Grozny than the Israelis are killing in Gaza, yet where were you protesting against that? The truth is you are not against women and children being bombed to pieces, only if it is not being done by “your side”, the Putin side.”
This is from a man who downplayed the horrendous Odessa Massacre, to the extent of smearing all the victims as bat swinging Russian thugs sent personally by Putin.
Craig; “What I specifically want is for people like you to stop supporting a long term vicious killer on a massive scale like Putin simply because he isn’t an American”
No, what you want is for others to share in your ugly prejudice & animosity towards Russians, by claiming that Putin is the new Hitler, or as you stated before, the” greatest evil in the world today”
I wonder if Craig has ever plumbed the History of Archduke Ferdinand and the Lusitania; hair triggers for WWI engineered by whom?
Really connecting the dots is cannot be learned, it must be ignored.
“Remember the Maine !!!”
“It seems that, in response to this new submarine threat, some alterations were made to Lusitania and her operation. She was ordered not to fly any flags in the War Zone, which was a contravention of the Cruiser Rules. Some messages were sent to the ship’s commander to help him decide how to best protect his ship against the new threat, and it also seems that her funnels were most likely painted a dark grey to help make her less visible to enemy submarines. Clearly, there was no hope of disguising her actual identity, since her profile was so well known, and no attempt was made to paint out the ship’s name at the prow.[50]”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania
Isn’t it interesting that they went from NO flag to false flags?
Motorcade
On the morning of 28 June 1914, Franz Ferdinand and his party proceeded by train from Ilidža Spa to Sarajevo.[16] Governor Oskar Potiorek met the party at Sarajevo station. Six automobiles were waiting. By mistake, three local police officers got into the first car with the chief officer of special security; the special security officers who were supposed to accompany their chief got left behind.[59] The second car carried the Mayor and the Chief of Police of Sarajevo. The third car in the motorcade was a Gräf & Stift 28/32 PS open sports car with its top folded down. Franz Ferdinand, Sophie, Governor Potiorek, and Lieutenant Colonel Count Franz von Harrach rode in this third car.[59] The motorcade’s first stop on the preannounced program was for a brief inspection of a military barracks. According to the program, at 10:00 a.m., the motorcade was to leave the barracks for the town hall by way of the Appel Quay.[60]
Security arrangements within Sarajevo were limited. The local military commander, General Michael von Appel, proposed that troops line the intended route but was told that this would offend the loyal citizenry. Protection for the visiting party was accordingly left to the Sarajevo police, of whom only 60 were on duty on the day of the visit.[61]”
Does this at all sound familiar? Does it ring any bells?

According to The Grauniad “America condemns the bombing of the UN school in Gazal but restocks Israeli ammunition”
Staggering.
Major General Sam Turgeman of the IDF has just been on Sky. I would not like to meet him in the dark! He says that 10,000 reservists are being called up so the slaughter will continue.Barbarians.
Evo Morales is changing the status of Israelis wishing to enter Bolivia. Visas are now needed.
There is world wide opprobrium building against Israel. They have shot themselves in both feet apart from committing genocide in Gaza.
Ba’al Zevul [with Gaza] 12.03 am. @ “So was the bombardment of Germany by Britain in World War 2 disproportionate?” The fool probably has not heard of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, also now incorporated in the Rome Statute [ICC]. These clowns who excuse the monstrosity that is Zionism, including the so called leaders of the West, will find that rather than follow them, the ordinary sane ‘human being’ will follow his conscience and increasingly support BDS and even more militant forms of opposition to this supremacist and racist abomination.
Habba is one of those useless idiots with no opinion of his own.
Doomed to follow and promote his employers agenda.A Wormtongue of the web so to speak.
Being called a disturbed person by him means I annoy him. Good !!.
& If I’m disturbed ,what does that make him ?
I read that Bolivia has classed Israel as a terrorist State.I seriously hope that the world community finally does something about the genocide taking place in Palestine.Netanyahu’s vision for the Palestinians and peace is keeping them in an eternal prison ,shut off, no defence, no borders, no self determination, and no hope.If they accept, they’ll be permitted to live.Hell of an offer !
Corrections.
It is Major General SAMI Turgeman of the IDF.
It is 16,000 reservists being called up not 10,000.
This is the link to the change of status for visitors from Israel to Bolivia.
‘Bolivia has declared Israel to be a “terrorist state” and renounced a visa exemption agreement with the country in protest over the ongoing Israeli military offense in Gaza which already killed more than 1,300 dead and left over 7,000 wounded. ‘
http://rt.com/news/176852-bolivia-israel-terrorist-state/
I would describe Israeli as a ‘terror entity’ not ‘state’. It has no borders and knows no law(s).
Last night on some TV programme, it was seriously being mooted that Gaza would have to be reoccupied by Israel.
This morning on Sky News, a showbiz ‘has been’ called Toyah Wilcox was saying that she has worked in Israel and that everyone of all religions gets along very well. No mention of the Occupation, the apartheid, the daily atrocities enacted on Palestinian women, men and children and the number held in Israeli prisons. Her fellow newspaper reviewer, some Jewish radio presenter, supported Israel’s actions and said it was more like ‘shooting sharks in a barrel’, referring to Hamas, when the programme presenter referred to what is happening as ‘shooting fish in a barrel’.
So there we have it. Such wise and knowledgeable people are putting out the propaganda.
Macky

You are exactly the same as the Israelis who say the people of Gaza deserve it.
Jon Snow and Hamas last night on Channel 4 News.
Jon Snow’s appalling ‘interview’ of Osama Hamdan (Hamas) demonstrates the nonsense of ‘compassion’.

The Bethany Bell woman has been on BBC Breakfast from Israel campaigning for more Israeli atrocities. What a hard little female. No love in her heart for the dead and injured children yesterday. Actually worthy of Goebbels’ ‘Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und
Propaganda’.
One of her Linked In contacts is Caroline Wyatt, latterly BBC Defence Correspondent and super efficient at that job. She has just been made Religious Affairs Correspondent. You could not make it up!
Absolutely no irony.

Harry Law…Ba’al Zevul [with Gaza] 12.03 am. @ “So was the bombardment of Germany by Britain in World War 2 disproportionate?” The fool probably has not heard of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, also now incorporated in the Rome Statute [ICC].

This mystified me until I realised you were quoting from someone I block using the superb script ‘Habbabreak’, available here:
https://greasyfork.org/scripts/246-habbabreak
And the tone of the quoted sentence was unmistakeably that of Habbabcuk (I’m Only In It For The Cash!).
I think you will find that H will ignore or twist your response, add a snide remark or two, and move on to sneer at someone else. It’s what it does, and it is eerily predictable after a while. ‘Habbabreak’ removes the annoyance completely, except when someone quotes it. Recommended, strongly.

May I gently suggest that that is the sort of unthinking and wild assertion which tends to devalue the rest of what you write?
I note in this context that you fail – unusually – to supply a link.
What you meant to say, I think, is something along the following lines: “Bethany Bell, reporting from Israel for the BBC, again failed to show the same indignation/anger/horror which I myself feel”.
Al I correct, Mary?

Three “Zionist scum”s and as many “goyim/goys”s, accompanied by a couple of references to some mysterious prophet exercising tutelage.
I forgive you because it was late and you were probably tired, but do consider the possibility that such ravings lower the tone of Craig’s blog.
Yours in friendship and admiration,

Oh, sorry, Harry Law. You were quoting from something I’d quoted. Which, being a soundbite from an Israel-apologist sounded exactly like Habbabcuk (I’m Only In It For The Cash!)
Still, what I said @ 0848.

Ben @ 11.20pm.
Abso-fricken-lutely dude !!
You’ve summed up my own thinking better than I can !
Yes, the bombing of Dre3sden was disproportional as it did not contain any armaments or storage of the latter and it was known.
@Ba’al who wrote
‘Those kind Israelis have laid on a trip for CFoI to watch US taxpayers’ money shooting down der roggets.’
There is a historical duplete for this. Some 225 Britsh MP’s and surveyors went to germany in 1937 to schmooze their Bratkartoffel relationship with Hitler whilst copying his motorway strategy and warm their cockles with some beer and Hacksen.

@Craig, it’s very obvious why you bend over backwards to keep the Habby Troll here, (a troll that would certainly have been long banned on any other Blog), as not only do you share certain right wing biases, especially Russophobia, but you also have an identical dishonest inability to debate rationally, either through malice or sheer stupidity.
You dishonestly presented the conflict in Chechnya as a simple colonial struggle, conveniently omitting that Jihadists Wahabis Fundamentalists & assorted criminal war lords were also all killing other Chechens in an attempt to obtain power & riches; this dishonest omission & whitewashing as a struggle for “Freedom” is an exact parallel that NATO Apologists used when Yugoslavia was being subjected to Western supported Wahabis terrorism, ditto Afghanistan, Syria & Libya etc. Also revealing is the fact that despite that far more people died in Chechnya when the Western favorite Boris Yeltsin was in power, yet his name is hardly ever mentioned when Western Pundits hypocritically suddenly decide to care about the Chechens.
When all this is pointed out, in true troll style you don’t address the points of issue, but instead immediately resort to smearing people as “racists”, and to attribute offensive false view points; nobody in their right minds would believe that any group of people, “deserve” to die because of the action of others, yet mass casualties are always the results of the barbaric decision to wage war, which is why aggressive war is rightly considered the ultimate crime, and those that instigate or readily resort to it, are War Criminals, the most despicable people of all. Those that slyly & not so slyly, encourage animosity & demonization against another group of people, people like yourself that is, are just as despicable in my opinion.
I wonder how long it will be until heads are displayed on posts again.
On a recent visit to Belfast, the British ‘Queen’ helped promote the vile US TV series ‘Game of Thrones’.
The series marks a major step in desensitising a mass audience to depictions of extreme violence, and it teaches that everyone has a torturer inside of them. About a third of the scenes are dominated by the threat or act of rape, and in many the women victims end up enjoying it.
Has someone got a link to the BBC news clip showing Cameron and May’s photo opportunity in the kitchen?
For those with short memories. This was a week after the Ghouta gassing false flag.
NB The Prince Bandar quotes.

So the lovely Mr. Sashkavili, then president of georgia, did not invite NATO into his country for manouvres and he did not attack South Ossetian villages at all goading Putin. That was nasty Putin’s fault, was it?
Its really hard to understand why he managed to move against the crimea, inhabited by a majority of Russians, when the northern coast of Turkey is spiked with NATO bases, just on the other side of the Black sea.
Offcourse all these bases were created in the cold war and respective countries have yet to tell NATO to clear off, harder done than said, but the fact is sadly that Russia feels surrounded by ill feeling and greed for Russias resources.
Add to it the sucking up, with loud noises, by a western cabal that does not care a hoot about moral values anymore, see Gaza, by Svoboda and right sector, a bu8nch of Nazi’s who have no crux with opening their country to any influences, who want to disperse Muslims and have no policy or wanting for friendly relationships with their biggest neighbour. Russian gas moves through Ukraine and the next winter will be very hard for the Ukraine, many trees will be cut down to provide energy, because Kievs Government prioritises buying arms rather than pay its bills owed.
Even if Russia would cancel Ukraine’s debts, but why should it?, would these thugs, apparently ready for entry into the EU without srutiny or our say so, would not stop their collective hatred of Russia and the past, the EU would place a big fat blood sucker right into its midst.
Not that this matters, because the right wing politics of Europe and beyond, seem to be flavour of the month.
The fact that only 15% of the British public supports the attack opn Gaza, not reflected by the BBC or any of our political giants, makes it obvious HOW MUCH INFLUENCE ISRAEL IS ALREADY EXHUDING ON THIS COUNTRIES POLITICIANS. They are told to behave and shut up by Netanyahu’s thugs. Their message is Hammonds message.
Israel will push the Palestinians into a very small space, the plan to retake Gaza, decided long ago shortly after it was created, will be implemented, too many people are raising this specific issue and the 16.000 extra soldiers supports this scenario.
http://www.palestine-studies.org/files/pdf/jps/9994.pdf
“As the UNSC opened debate on Israel’s
sharp escalation of attacks on Gaza in
late 1/08, presidential hopeful Sen. Barack
Obama (D-IL) sent (1/22) a letter to U.S.
Amb. to the UN Khalilzad urging the UNSC
not to condemn Israeli actions without “fully
condemning” Palestinian rocket attacks on
Israel, stating that “we have to understand
why Israel is forced to do this” and that
“Israel has the right to respond.” He stated
that if the UNSC did not “clearly and
unequivocally condemn the rocket at-
tacks,” Khalilzad should ensure (presumably
through threat of veto) that it does not com-
ment at all. The next day (1/23), 11 members
of Congress, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich
(D-OH), who at that time was also a presi-
dential contender, sent a letter to Secy. of
State Rice calling on the U.S. to exert its “in-
fluence to urge Israel to end its blockade
of Gaza,” stating that Israel’s “illegal” siege
constitutes “collective punishment.”
And here is todays repeated call by someone who puprots to be a General.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/182727#.U9os86N5Guo
” So the lovely Mr. Sashkavili, then president of georgia, did not invite NATO into his country for manouvres and he did not attack South Ossetian villages at all goading Putin. That was nasty Putin’s fault, was it? ”
The five day war killed more civilians than died in Gaza during the first five days and forced another 200,000 out of their homes, many of whom still haven’t been able to return or be re-settled. It’s still unclear who started the shooting around South Ossetia but was Putin’s response proportional or necessary at all?
” Those that slyly & not so slyly, encourage animosity & demonization against another group of people, people like yourself that is, are just as despicable in my opinion.”
It’s cherry-picking one’s predilections, Macky. The innocent civilian deaths in E. Ukraine pale compared to those in Gaza when their ‘Leader’ gums up a need for consistency. Genocide is a dish best served cold on the cafeteria menu, but you can’t always stomach each entree.
