The images of horses fleeing wildfires in France is truly heart-wrenching. In the same way there are emergency shelters for people in these tragic events, people from all regions as well as local authorities should come together to help find shelters and possibly sanctuary where necessary for animals in the […]
Read More I as I asked this same question in a previous post); and the answer seems to be moving towards a “trend” in helping fight corruption. The obvious/expected reaction from the political establishment is simple “hey, its a conspiracy fella’s”, then you know what you’re dealing with; autocracy in its purest/most […]
Read More Is this modern day slavery? Is this Meloni’s vision on fighting migration yet allowing them to be abused in this manner to help feed the population or do other menial chores irrespective of their security/dignity? There are 2 options here in my opinion; either stop supercharging the fight on migration […]
Read More This repeated model of sanctions affecting populations all over the world is truly disgusting and must end. It can no longer be acceptable in this day and age that people are treated as collateral whether in military attacks or sanctions that affect vital infrastructure. They say there are rules in […]
Read More Where there are different standards in accepting/applying values you know you’re confronted with a scam – its as simple as that however sophisticated people may try and present themselves. What bothers me most in this clip is that young teenager with the reworded trump cap; a face of the future […]
Read More They say the proof is in the pudding, so the jury is pretty much out on how Andy Burnham will deal with foreign policy challenges. That said my judgement based purely on the exchange/temperament during the interview with Gary Lineker is that Andy will deliver little in the way of […]
Read More Putting a name and face behind murder; it may not bring back lives but helps seeing/recognising the tragedy behind wars, particularly wars that should never have started. Human cost of conflicts is not “collateral damage” but a form of personal annihilation (a strong perception of being overlooked, not being seen […]
Read More Any questions – even hypothetically speaking – about accountability for the Nord Stream pipeline explosion verdict or am I missing something here? Even an EU statement would be fine but all I hear is a deafening silence; is this how democracies operate in this day and age? Just a question. […]
Read More Truly one of the most controversial politicians of all times – not just in US history. Just the same, condolences to his family, friends and supporters and may he RIP.

Frankly though I don’t understand why he’s in hot water. His track record isn’t new whether financially like misusing EU money, his questionable funding sources and his choices of befriending disgusting figures the likes of Trump and others yet presenting himself as the common man that’s there to protect the […]
Read More In fact this is a perfect opportunity for a serious case study in this phenomenal transition. I suspect that the finding would point to 3 specific issues as part of the conclusion a) political corruption and money in politics b) the power of foreign backed lobbies and their support of […]
Read More Giorgia Meloni presents a vision of Europe as not only an economic power, but also a geopolitical one. The question, however, is whether this is genuinely a new vision or simply a restatement of the existing one—one that recent events suggest is struggling to deliver meaningful results. Rather than relying […]
Read More Legally speaking ignoring genocide is complicity in genocide however long it takes for accountability to kick in. Pragmatically speaking you may not experience these atrocities but there are clear signs of blowback from these conflicts at multiple levels; economically (obviously), politically in terms of foreign meddling/pressure points, civil liberties as […]
Read More Andy Burnham: A prospective leader offering little indication of any meaningful policy change — and that, apparently, is the essence of the UK’s democratic governance model in 2026 (and possibly 1926). As I have argued before, Britain is in urgent need of comprehensive, root-and-branch political reform. Without it, the country […]
Read More What I’m making here are my own observations – from what I know/my understanding of it as of today and not claiming to know all the facts – on the verdict as a non-legal expert; though I have a BA in law I never practiced law though I’m always quite […]
Read More You know what the truly sad part in all of this which bothers me; its that the EU is standing by shackled – no meaningful inputs just verbal/inconsequential outputs for a union hoping to lead, but the question would be who’d care follow. I certainly hope this changes quickly but […]

An inspiring story of a group of university graduates in Egypt that decide to promote local art/culture by creating a traditional dance group. I won’t waste time explaining, or expressing how impressed I was with this performance – and even on the personal/intellectual level I saw in the interview with […]
Read More The approach is right but if the sole reason is foreign dependencies; does this mean that Palantir’s weaponisation of AI both in terms of individual liberties and usage of it in illegal/brutal conflicts is not a factor? What are the standards of using AI by governments (or even for companies […]
Read More Hey (yo) Europe, Don’t Preach Values & Pride, Have Some (could be refreshing); are you there?? Europe needs to grow up when it comes to security. Relying on the Unreliable to this day is not a strategic calculation but an utter failure. Again, it all falls back on the single […]

Read More The point of Kaja Kallas is stated by Kaja Kallas…NOT the EU’s Top Diplomat but Top Coordinator with a nice salary to go with it. Now here’s a question; if she is the coordinator what business is it of hers attending global forums representing the EU when she’s liable to […]
Read More First things first; the revelation that a leader is invited to a news conference with the american child before even any negotiations start is absolutely hilarious; that’s an entire satire show in of itself. As for Carney’s comments about how he perceives Iran/conflict – something many European leaders subscribe to […]
Read More I totally ‘appreciate’ PM Giorgia Meloni’s response (link to article below); “images were ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ [she might as well copy paste that term from previous/similar abuse statements she made – I mean why in the world waste precious time rewriting it?]” and then based on this article she demanded the release […]
Read More If these statements about the judicial proceedings in the clip below are accurate the obvious follow up question would be; who the hell is running the country? It is one thing to have the political establishment compromised by foreign influence, but when considering that the judicial system may also be […]
Read More Sanction Israeli settlers again?! Didn’t than happen in 2024 or is the location difference what matters here/and what good has this achieved? How about government, trade, leaders? Nope, none of that, its much too on the nose, so to speak! Making a difference is NOT the point here, stonewalling pretty […]
Read More It ain’t about the repeat of the musical chairs it is about a vision, people with track record – not just on paper – and genuine well articulated political reform. It seems the conventional wisdom now in politics is seek people who look good on paper for the party (not […]
Read More Whenever a democratic state becomes blindsided from its core values; either due to its own self interest or the interest of foreign rogue states you know for a fact that you’re in the ballpark of a dysfunctional democracy. However, when that state goes a step further of engaging/supporting genocide, while […]
Read More Right off the bat let me say it’s quite refreshing to actually hear PM Meloni express herself in English so one gets the accurate context – verbal and facial expressions – right. First things first; what the hell is “Polycrisis” – yes new to me so had to look it […]
Read More After my previous post and having now watched Zack Polanski’s response it reaffirms my confidence of this leader and of this party. They say leadership is projected clearly in difficult times and this to me is what’s happening here. Well done Zack! PS: What’s really “amusing” is watching journalists/media doing […]

A key pillar of Democracy that cannot be taken for granted. In this day and age it is no longer sufficient to have NGO’s assigned with the responsibility to protect press freedoms, journalism and media; now there needs to be national apolitical body with apolitical leadership and the highest levels […]
Read More If accurate and not merely being critical of a state/ideology (a politicised definition that I do not recognise/exacerbates this form of racism) than this is disgusting and requires swift action from a party I chose to become member of and if continues I’ll quit. One form of racism cannot be […]
Read More Here’s what’s happening (in my opinion) 1. The EU rather than contributing in efforts to de-escalate and come up with a new vision to resolve consequential conflicts, they take the tried and tested role; arrogantly demanding others to change course without addressing key issues or getting involved beyond throwing tax […]
Read More Well done Sir, Well done France! I can only hope this is a genuine effort and that it proves to be the ultimate beginning of the end to the suffering on both sides. The region deserves better but due to the painful history it does require external partners to make […]
Read More Forget about the title for a second and consider this little nugget; the powerful efforts we see from pressing this button only amplifies the realities of the system that existed before that button was pressed. In other words one begins to understand how the system was/is rigged from within by/in […]
Read More The utter absurdity – and frankly the utter stupidity of the German response – is breathtaking; aren’t you able to find someone who can make a clever cover story, have you tried ChatGPT I hear good things about it? I don’t really need to make the case or know where […]
Read More Make no mistake about it, the EU finally takes action where it matters. The kind of action one makes when “stretching” while sitting on a chair. How you can tell that, well not too difficult; 1. The statement on mideast conflict read by someone other than the EU President, while […]

Demanding a mere inquiry of the PM is now considered a “political stunt” and the obvious follow on narrative is the same; “we now need to focus on delivering for the British people” or in layman terms “buzz off we’re busy….democratically speaking”. Archaic democracy models and structures are not just […]
Read More Here’s the gist of the argument of the German Chancellor and my brief response; well not too brief – not my style 🙁 1. To go in you have to go out again: Is that it, that’s concern of the German chancellor? No considerations about how to go in, implications/protections […]

Read More For some it’s about empty statements and getting “sophisticated / technical”; in other words you buy a flashy yet empty clean as a whistle box. For others however it much simpler than that; its about going back to basics and naming things for what they are. In layman terms its […]
Read More [German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called the proposal “inappropriate”. “We have to talk with Israel about the critical issues,” he said at the start of the meeting.] Now how in the world did we all miss that one? And while we’re at it why not apply this exact/same posture in […]

Read More Critical thinking begins by questioning/challenging what we consider to be the “conventional wisdom” – conventions by design so to speak. This is one interesting conversation and it may help explain the idea of subordination of what is termed as the global south where economic powers benefiting from this rigged capitalist […]
