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.

Fifteen Year-Old Swiss Girl Taken into Care After Parents Refuse to Consent to Course of Puberty Blo... Wed Jul 24, 2024 15:00 | Dr Frederick Attenborough
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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Depleted uranium and modern weaponry does take a toll on the male and female
reproductive systems- and I do wonder if Harry (HRH) was advised to bank his sperm before
embarking on the mission (protecting the bloodline etcetera):
Of course the Royals did choose Ted Hughes as Laureate, who ,though a poet of apocalypse
did not investigate the nitty-gritty of War.
A Cold Coming, Tony Harrison.
"Excuse a skull half roast, half bone for using such a scornful tone.
It may seem all out of proportion but I wish I'd taken their
precaution.
They seemed the masters of their fate with wisely jarred
ejaculate
Was it a propaganda coup to make us think they'd cracked
death too,
Disinformation to defeat us with no post-mortem millitres?
Symbolic billions in reserve made me, for one, lose heart
and nerve.
On Saddam's pay we can't afford to go and get our semen
stored.
Sad to say such high-tech is uncommon here. We're stuck
with sex".
[for the rest of one of the best anti-war poems of all time, check out Harrison].
The cost of war on birth-rate, on the US dream of wedded bliss, on people's wishes
for peace should not be under-estimated, but these are things that go untalked about
amongst those who want to give us perpetual war for perpetual peace.

Service couples are asked to bank sperms for future family planning due to the nature of the
shots they must take before a tour of duty.
The site above at link goes a little into the modern complications of war-fare on service families
and their survivors.
Mostly they have shown images of the prince looking sheepish, but smiling.
He's not married yet, so the issue of the sperm in nitrogen isn't really an issue, yet.
http://www.refusingtokill.net is one site dedicated to the support of deserters and
the issue of revealing the truth of war in modern times, I am sure there are others.
The images of the mainly white US women clawing for the dresses and the wish to be a bride
should give many hope- at least they still have romance in their little hearts. i asked someone
who was making babies and washing bottles/nappies during the cuban missile crisis
about how it felt: "It felt like shit, we were always scared, but we decided that we must just get
on with our world and try to resist the endless fear that surrounded us".
[of course the modernist items on view in the image are currently unavailable to
large sections of the Gaza population, where US forces sit on the coast watching
the unfolding of another war]
1955 House-keeping Monthly
I found that annotated Housekeeping Monthly article fascinating. Family life in America was just fine until the arrival of hippies, drugs, sex and rock 'n roll. Bring back those wholesome 1950s.
@ least the London Independent has a sense of style for the day t'was init and gave
out Vatican suppressed Luis Bunel DVD's of 'Viridana'- Its Mothering Sunday!
How many mothers feel valued in their vulnerable and wonderful role of bringing up the
next generation?
In Ireland:- Breast Cancer misdiagnosis and amalgamation.
In Gaza:- Murder of their Children.
In EU:- Anti-modernist Popes and War- Mongers putting money into armies not
Healthcare and education.
In Eco:- Poisoned water-tables and GM food.
*For Profit*.
(cos thats what its all about- we mothers provide the economic stability of the globe
and are abused by the structures of power that disallow women's voices to be heard
in this constant push for war and attrition).

"There appear to be little in the way of candidates who discuss feminism in a
way that relates to the reality of the poverty and precarity created by an electoral
system that has marginalised the poor."
Cynthia McKinney does . She was also one of only two members of Congress to oppose the Iraqi war ,as a result of which she was stitched up by her own Democratic Party in conjunction with the Republicans , and lost her seat at the subsequent election .McKinney is now standing for the Green Party for President with support from the post-Katrina reconstruction movement on a programme that includes troops out of Iraq and the sort of policies on poverty that are ,as you say , being ignored by other candidates. She may not be perfect ,but her candidacy could do a lot to galvanize and mobilize those who see no hope in the present two party system . Here’s what she says about women’s rights for instance .
“We believe in full reproductive rights for women — for legal rights and safe access to comprehensive prenatal and postnatal/infant care; family planning services and contraception, including “morning after” medication; and abortion.”
Read Cynthia McKinney’s draft manifesto here:

I see uniforms. badges, tailored suits, sports jackets and shiny shoes...
The GEA (gender reform architecture at the UN) is getting insistent that National Governments
translate women's need and rights into measurable and quantifiable change...
In Ireland we have a handful of air-brushed 'Marys' who have inherited their seats from
daddies and brothers; and a liking for presidents (who run largely
unopposed and seem to have the name Mary) .
Yay for Cynthia and would there were more of her Ilk, I would like to see the women of
New Orleans say to themselves that presidential races are utter crap and fight
for representational politics- maybe Cynthia will encourage more women to take
on change in the US (which is largely male-dominated and thus not really a
representative democracy- has anyone told Mc Guiness and Paisley yet??????????)
