It seems to me that Germany may be using Palestinians as human shields as a psychological block pushing it to do all to help cover the guilt of its disgusting genocide committed during WWII – covering genocide by complicity in another genocide, now how clever is that? Maybe Germany’s demilitarisation […]

Andrew Marr reacts to UK sanctions on Israeli settlers (my response)
Talking about jewish friends or the threat of antisemitism I have no issue with whatsoever, but in this context it promotes the false talking point that this is a conflict of religions which it most definitely is not. For people who want to make comments or wish to engage on […]
Read MoreThe AfD Election Win & How to Finally Face up to the Battle of Ideologies (a proposition)
Wake up calls are sometimes more important than an event in itself cause it allows us to recognise realities we’ve been living in for far too long; the ride on complacency train through fantasy land. In my opinion and at this precise time in history middle ground politics is no […]
Read MoreThe EU – State of the Union: Priorities Outlined (or perhaps “outdated”….)
Security/Defence, Migration Control, Ukraine/Russia Conundrum; These are the focus points for Europe. Not foreign policy, resolving foreign conflicts, protecting international law or attempting to help shape a new world order. To the contrary, the strategy is quite simple; build a huge wall, reinforce your security and all will be well. […]

Read MoreAI Through the Back Door is a Path to a Brick Wall
This threat is not news and yet we see little in the way of assessing/mitigating the risks by governments. They seem to be distracted by the benefits/fascinated by the opportunities and are spending much less time in understanding/preparing for the risks in the fast/haphazard way the technology is being implemented […]
Read MoreAndy Burnham Set to Introduce Trade Ban on Israeli Settlements (have we seen this farce before)??
Two points; The approach of banning trade on settlements is one that’s been tried and tested and already failed miserably as we can clearly see. If the Israeli government itself is promoting the development/expansion of illegal settlements and promoting despicable attitudes towards Palestinian – the real owners of the land […]
Read MoreOperation NOT FOR PROFIT (for Values and Preserving the Human Dimension)
It’s more of an approach/philosophy of life not based on theory but rather on where we are in this day-and-age and how we’re all becoming more obsessed with consuming goods and associating that with quality of life. This also made us more vulnerable as a society to the whims of […]

A very interesting exchange and you can make of it what you will but here’s the thrust of the argument; while any commission reviews the real threat of antisemitism – a clear and valid threat – it seems to shy out from discussing the overall context in the fear – […]

Excessive Levels of Democratic Governance Model/Values Continue to be “Played Out” on Occupied Land; how inspiring to watch the perpetrators, the observers and enablers dancing to the same tune miles apart while “lying undercover”.

Here’s what we’ve seen; once the breach occurred rightwing politicians/media were not interested in how/why it happened because the narrative was already prepared/signed off and ready for circulation along with the accompanying theatrics because they knew well that this presents a golden opportunity for reactionary panic to fuel public sentiment […]

Here’s what I hear “de-risking with China” and here’s what I also hear; dependancy on key natural resources, manufacturing and security on both the US and China. My hunch is that without the EU investing in market diversification/expansion, natural resource exploration/diversifying suppliers, achieving military & political independence no de-risking can […]

The breach of the border itself is not the issue as an incident that must and I’m sure will be resolved, but its clear the incident is being “played out” in right-wing media as an opportunity to supercharge the reactionary anti-immigrant sentiment that may end up having lasting/detrimental ramification on […]

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 […]

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?

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 […]

Legally speaking ignoring genocide is complicity in genocide however long it takes for accountability to kick in.

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 […]
