add comment yesterdayNext Left —A letter in the Guardian , co-signed with Will Straw of Left Foot Forward. *** The problem of a headline " Labour to oppose vote reform bill " (28 July) is that it risks implying that Labour is ditching its manifesto support for a referendum on the electoral system, and that this is all that the coalition's parliamentary voting system and constituencies bill is about. Yet Labour's amendment...
add comment 6 hours agoAmbush Predator —Polly Toynbee is the latest columnist to cling, wailing ‘No, not the arts, pleeeeease!’, to the government’s legs as they go about the business of being grown-up about the budget deficit: In less than a year shrouds will be waving, bloody stumps displayed with empty begging bowls as the coalition lays into public services. It will be hard to tell who is most seriously injured as attention...

ConservativeHome's ToryDiary —By Tim Montgomerie Highlights, not verbatim, of tonight's BBC2 programme on the negotiations that followed May 5th's indecisive election result.

Ron Paul . We're missing politicians who are prepared to stand up and speak for the people. Will we ever have a Ron Paul? I may not agree with some of his policies but I do agree with his common sense which has been replaced by non-sense in this country. Why don't our politicians make more use of video/audio to reach their electorate? I still receive paper newsletters, via the Royal Mail, from my...
add comment yesterdayCaron's Musings —My laptop has been taken over by 11 year olds but I've just checked my e-mail & found a message from the Early Learning Centre in response to the complaint I sent them on Tuesday night regarding the way their dressing up outfits were marketed, specifying, among other things, that nurses' outfits were for girls & doctors' outfits for boys. They have removed that language. I'm speechless but...

add comment yesterdayHarry's Place —Back in 2003, after President Bush called for “sacrifice” and an additional $87 billion for the war and reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne wrote: The fiscal burden for this war does not have to be piled onto future generations. And it should not be borne by Americans most in need, the [...]
add comment yesterdayHarry's Place —Wikileaks said that they had thoroughly vetted the 90,000 military files that they posted online. Apparently, they weren’t as careful as they thought: The Times reported Wednesday that after just two hours of combing through the documents it was able to find the names of dozens of Afghans said to have provided detailed intelligence to US forces. A [...]

A good video– from a pro-peace, pro-two state solution perspective– condemning the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement. The moderates– Israelis, Palestinians, doctors, academics, artists and peace activists– are in fact the principal victims of this self-labeled progressive social movement. What is it about Israeli-Palestinian collaboration that so threatens BDS? It...
