Nobody Is Safe From The Long Arm Of EU Law 'Here is something the Government told us would never happen. When Britain signed up to the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) six years ago, critics pointed out that an individual could be extradited to another EU state to face prosecution for something that is not a crime in Britain and had not even been committed in the requesting country. Ministers dismissed such concerns as fanciful, but it has come to pass.' Welcome To Britain? The Shocking Frieze Which Will Greet Visitors To London's Eurostar terminal 'From next summer, travellers stepping off the train at St Pancras International will be greeted with an artwork that sums up modern Britain. But it might not be the Britain we'd like them to see. A copulating couple. A vagabond carrying a bottle. And a hoodie expressing himself with his middle finger. ' Bank Fat Cats Will STILL Receive £3.5bn In Bonuses - Despite Brown's Pledge To Slash Them ' City fat cats will receive 'megabucks' bonuses totalling more than £3.5billion this year despite the financial crisis, analysts predicted yesterday. Hedge fund managers, investment bankers and commodity traders are expected to be awarded seven-figure payouts at the end of the year, according to a report by an economic consultancy. The prediction came days after Gordon Brown called for an end to the days of 'irresponsible behaviour' and excessive bonuses as he unveiled his £500billion bank rescue plan.' Top Tory William Hague Flew Off On Barclays £500,000 Italian Jolly As Markets Crashed 'William Hague is facing awkward questions about his judgment after he joined a lavish Italian trip for Barclays executives on a black day for global markets. He spent Friday on the sunny shores of Lake Como, on the final day of a luxury break organised by the hard-pressed bank's private wealth division. While he enjoyed the balmy surroundings of one of Europe's most expensive hotels, where rooms can cost £1,000 a night, markets in London and America went into freefall. ' US Told To Increase Nuclear Arsenal As China Threat Looms 'The International Security and Advisory Board (Isab), which reports to Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, warned that "holding the US homeland hostage to missile attack is important to Chinese military goals".It claimed that China will have "in excess of 100 nuclear-armed missiles that could strike the United States" by 2015. By contrast, it said the US had allowed its nuclear stockpile and expertise to "deteriorate and atrophy across the board" for the last two decades. The ISAB is chaired by Paul Wolfowitz, the former World Bank president who was often referred to as the "major architect" of the war in Iraq while he was deputy defence secretary.' Food Rationing In Cuba 'Cuba is limiting how much basic fruits and vegetables people can buy at farmers' markets, irritating some customers but ensuring there's enough—barely—to go around. The lines are long and some foods are scarce, but because the government has maintained and even increased rations in some areas, Cubans who initially worried about getting enough to eat now seem confident they won't go hungry despite the destruction of 30 percent of the island's crops by hurricanes Gustav and Ike last month.' US Army Prepares To Invade America 'The plans to implement martial law in America have been taking shape for decades, hidden behind "Continuity of Government" contingency planning. Now, with public outcry over the banker bailout bill at fever pitch, all of the pieces are in place for the U.S. Army to start policing American citizens.' We Should Take The Axe To These Architects Of Downfall 'Gordon Brown talks about punishing bankers who have acted irresponsibly. About time, too. As taxpayers we are now all potentially supporting these banks with our own money, and it is right that we have a say in how they are run. Executives who have presided over their institutions like personal fiefdoms driven by ego and hubris have turned out to be architects of their firms' downfall. Why they are still in place is beyond me. At the very least, we should demand their heads.' The Financial Collapse - What Will Happen Next 'Many are surprised at the speed of events occurring with the current global economic collapse. Yet few appear to be aware of what is still to follow as events unfold in the days that lie ahead. For some years I have been writing about this economic collapse, and now will explain the events that will unfold over the coming weeks. The present crisis is not just an economic crisis it is a political crisis also. What is unfolding now is a going to result in the end of the Anglo-Saxon dominance of the global economy, along with the collapse of their economies and military capacity. We are experiencing some of the most dramatic and historic events in the history of mankind. The political landscape of the world we live is being significantly changed.'Saturday, 11 October 2008 Saturday, 11 October 2008 Saturday, 11 October 2008 Saturday, 11 October 2008 Saturday, 11 October 2008 Saturday, 11 October 2008 Saturday, 11 October 2008
