Farage Calls for Referendum on European Convention on Human Rights Wed Jul 24, 2024 17:39 | Will Jones
Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.

A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

The Threat to Democracy Wed Jul 24, 2024 11:29 | James Alexander
'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Benazir Bhutto 1953-2007

Report this post to the editors

Its in the mainstream media.

Benazir Bhutto was shot in the neck and then in the head. The asassin then
blew himself up and killed 16 people. President Musharraf has appealed for calm.
He has not stated that the planned January 5th election will go ahead.

George W Bush has condemned the attack, as has Gordon Brown. Both of these
leaders are experiencing political difficulties at home with Brown embroiled in an
Afghanistan scandal.

Benazir Bhutto 1953-2007

Benazir Bhutto 1953-2007

The Killing happened as Benazir Bhutto was departing from a political rally. She was
seen as the main opposition candidate and had been living in exile until the 18th
of October 2007 when she was granted an amnesty and returned to Pakistan.

Musharraf had been forced by international pressure to call a January Fifth election
which was seen as a compromise given the civil unrest of the last few months.
General Musharraf had imprisoned Imran Khan , a Pashtun opposition leader;
and placed Ms Bhutto under house arrest in recent times.

Political Backround:-
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84912
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84924
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/83379

Musharraf was seen as a political ally of George W Bush and had used oppression and
attack on opposition leaders and members of civil society groups.

Both Bush and Brown called the killers cowards because they did 'not respect democracy'.
President Bush has been seen to overtly interfere in the directioning of the political will of
the people of Pakistan and had been involved in the choice of date- so it adds a certain
irony to his statements.
