IF I COULD TALK TO THE TALIBAN..
>> MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 2009
Mr Doolittle, McDoom is determined to talk to the Taliban as part of his fantasy strategy in Afghanistan. British Governments have proven rather good at selling out to terrorists over the years and I do appreciate that Brown is merely following in the same dishonourable tradition as Major and Blair but I do wish the BBC would provide balancing voices to those sirens such as Col Richard Kemp. The meme is that if we listen to those wise old coves in the F.O. and sit down and talk to these dark age barbarians then perhaps we can conquer and divide, although I note that the Colonel does make the precautionary suggestion that talking to Mullar Omah is not possible...."at this stage". How very shrewd. How long before we have a chat with Bin Laden?
A BRIGHT IDEA?
Did you catch this interview with Matt Prescott, director of campaign group Ban the Bulb? Fawning. It's eco-loons like Prescott that IMPOSE their agenda on the rest of us and I would have thought that the BBC could have found at least ONE person to come on the programme and put the alternative view that banning "traditional" lightbulbs is both draconian and entirely ineffective at"fighting" the climate change chimera which so concern Mr Prescott.
NO SELFISH ECONOMIC INTEREST???
Had a laugh at this item the BBC ran this morning. In essence the suggestion is that the UK Government did not do a deal with Libya for commercial advantage. Oliver Miles, deputy chairman of the Libyan British Business Council, was wheeled on to suggest there was probably some "political" deal though the objective of this was unspecified. Of COURSE there was a deal for commercial and political advantage. Palmerston's adage remains as true now as ever but for some reason the BBC want us to think that Labour, being good little socialists, would never do something just for £££. Labour's political DNA is all over this one and the one thing we do know for sure from the track record is that when it comes to cash. Labour will do anything. Prostituting decency in pursuance of riches is no problem for them. No blood for oil anyone?
SPOT THE MISSING WORD...
"A sex offender deemed to be a danger to women and children has absconded from a psychiatric unit in West Yorkshire. Mohammed Rafiq Passwala did not return to Fieldhead Hospital, near Wakefield, after being given unsupervised leave. Passwala, who was convicted of sex offences in 1996, is described as Asian, 5ft 7in tall, of stocky build with black/grey hair and a full beard."
"Asian", eh? Mmmm, I think there's another word that the BBC appears to have overlooked.
Dhimmis.
