Spice-up Girls reunion promised with Campbell and Mandy proving social mobility is a fact in Brown's Britain
January 12, 2009 – 6:15 pm
Several weeks ago, Thus Magazine speculated that dark forces were abroad in the Mordor of Gordon Brown’s never-had-it-so-good Britain in the form of Mandy and Campbell. Now, according to The Independent on Sunday, Alistair Campbell, disgraced Blair witch doctor, alleged dodgy dossier editor, hammer of the BBC and the deceased Dr David Kelly, looks set to join [...]
Iraqi civilian daily death toll returns to pre-surge levels
January 4, 2009 – 9:59 pm
“We don’t do body counts” – General Tommy Franks Apart from the grim news of 23 people dead at a Sunni meeting four days ago, followed by over 40 deaths at a Shia shrine on 4 January, there are ominous signs that rumours of a peaceful withdrawal from Iraq are sadly exaggerated. Iraq Bodycount, the [...]
Jerusalem Post reports 'no international pressure to end op' (Gaza ethnic cleansing)
December 29, 2008 – 5:21 pm
“After all, who remembers the Armenians?” (Adolph Hitler). By John J Kelly. Israel is feeling “no real pressure” from the world to end the operation in the Gaza Strip, and the amount of time the international community will sit relatively quietly on the sidelines depends on how things develop, senior diplomatic officials said Sunday. According [...]
UN Resolution 446 revisited and another Neo-coincidence
December 29, 2008 – 12:05 pm
The US and its ‘allies’ pursued an aggressive ‘war’ counter to the 4th Geneva Convention against Iraq on the spurious justification that Iraq had ignored a UN resolution. Israel is in breach of more than 65 UN Resolutions, but the most significant, Resolution 446, passed in 1979 with abstensions from the UK, Norway and the [...]

December 28, 2008 – 7:18 pm
Remember the PFLP? Well, they’re back, thanks to helicopter gunship diplomacy. By John J Kelly from sources in Gaza There is still time for Israel to pull back from the endgame, but we are being told that the wanton slaughter of the past two days has met with ‘widespread public approval on all sides [...]
Update: Israeli F-16s blitz Gaza in a run-up to the February elections
December 27, 2008 – 11:29 am
Forget about sending aid – the previous post has unfortunately been rendered redundant by the news that Israel has attacked Hamas-run security compounds in Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians and wounding others – including the almost-obligatory deaths of two small girls allegedly killed by Hamas – in the process. See Gaza attacks. Although rocket attacks [...]
Inhumanitarian aid to Gaza before the turkey shoot?
December 27, 2008 – 9:47 am
Posted by John J Kelly – story by Sameh Akram Habeeb, supplied by Patrick MacManus The good news is that it has been reported that Israel is allowing 100 trucks with desperately-needed ‘humanitarian aid‘ into Gaza. The bad news is that is is probably part of a publicity campaign to divert attention from incursions into [...]
Ignoring India's poverty is a recipe for nuclear Armageddon
December 19, 2008 – 3:14 pm
Thank God for George Bush. He laughs in the face of fear as he gives more nukes to the country with the most hungry people in it. And the funny bit is that despite parts of the American Christian right actually jockeying for Armegeddon, he probably achieved all this by mistake, and in the process he [...]
