A little dated this,I did think of it awhile back but only now thought it a laugh to put up on blog.

Ahmadinejad is Right!

It pains me to say this but I thought Ahmadinejads' controversial comment that Israel was a "cruel & repressive racist regime" over the Palestinians was a statement of FACT! His further comments that Israel was created by the US and Europe on the "pretext of Jewish suffering" from the Second War, is also nothing if not accurate.

WHY ALL THE FUSS?

It's a shame all the western governments up in arms over this weren't so worked up in anger around New Year when Israel was bombing the crap out of Gaza with phosphorus!

I've not heard or read the full transcript(assuming a translation could be relied on anyway?) of Ahmadinejads' speech but if the above quotes reported in the British press are the worst of it then it appears to have been a relatively reasoned and measured address.

This makes the mass walkout of western diplomats,not to mention the other nations who boycotted the event, look ridiculous quite frankly.I suspect they were all "primed" to walk even before they heard the words of the speech.Has Mossad got compromising polaroids of all western leaders or something?

I don't intend to be an Ahmadinejad apologist.I've little time for his odious regime.I'm also in no way against the state of Israel,it exists and I wish it a viable,peaceful future........alongside a viable Palestinian state.

That the debate has been so skewed towards the RIGHT WING position of Israels current government is tragic.This does no one any favours,least of all Israel which,without compromise and peace with it's neighbours, finds itself on a path towards it's likely eventual destruction.Surely true Zionists with a sense of self preservation should pursue a more moderate position.

And as for the West........no wonder the Muslim world hates us!

The "Porn" ultimatum.

Could there possibly be a more embarrassing way for your wife to find out you've been watching porn?

Beleaguered British Home Secretary's husband Richard Timney has 'fessed up to watching adult movies at the couples constituency home while his wife was away.Not a crime on it's own,but said porn was subsequently charged to Jacqui Smiths parliamentary expenses which were recently leaked to the British press.

Now where this story doesn't quite scan for me is why would an intelligent grown man, in an age of freely accessible hard core porn to suit even the most discerning or depraved connoisseur of skin flicks via the wonderful internet,choose to get his rocks off to a pay per view film on the Virgin cable package(with incriminating itemised billing)?

Here's my theory,based on nothing other than incredulity that Mr Smith could be so dumb, and the apparent solidarity Jacqui Smith appears to be showing with her husbands indiscretion.Suppose the adult films weren't watched by Mr Timney at all.The couples sons are aged 10 and 13,about the age I expect you'd be endeavouring to access those forbidden adult channels on the TV.In this scenario Mr Timney accepts responsibility for accessing said porn to save his own children the inevitable humiliation which,played out in the school yard rather than a ravenous national press,would probably cause much greater emotional damage to those concerned in the longer term.

So if this were to have been the case then Mr Timney's actions are transformed.He's no longer a husband,getting his auto-erotic kicks while the missus is away,but a dad committing a noble act to protect his children and family.

Then of course he might've just been having a w*nk on the state!

The London G20

I'm with Sarko' and Merklel on this one.France and Germany have long held out against the excesses of un-fettered free-market anglo-saxon economic model.I hope they stick to their guns and hold out for some real fundamental change to how the global financial market operates.Rhetoric aside it really does look like Brown and Obama just want to reflate the bubble and get back to business as usual in the financial world.That option may work short term,but whether it's 6 months or 6 years,without real radical reform to the way global capitalism operates we will end up eventually back where we are now,only worse!

There appears little doubt that it's "Anglo-saxon" neo-liberal capitalism that's created this sorry mess.Germany,France and the other west european countries are affected, in part, from the recklessness of their own financial institutions involvement in "casino-capitalism". But also ,and more significantly,they are exposed to the east european countries economic melt-down.The irony is "Old Europe" bank rolled "New Europe's" anglo-saxon neo-liberal economic adventure leaving them uniquely cluster-rogered by the collapse of the anglo-saxon model.I can see why they're well pissed off!

Of course the French and the rest of mainland europe are also always closer to popular revolt than the US and UK.It's in their historical DNA and we can see this illustrated in the more virulent protests across the continent,as opposed to the more passive populations of the anglo-world.The threat of the crisis leading to political instability must seem so much more tangible to Sarkozy and Merkel and I can fully understand why they want to shift away from "casino capitalism" to a more equitable,regulated model.

But will the US and UK buy into this solution? One requiring effectively the establishment of some sort of supranational body to impose the ultimate "top-down" solution to regulate and reign in the global markets that have run amok? I very much doubt they will! The global markets as they currently exist essentially hold a gun to our collective head,limiting the actions that can be taken by governments........and that's the main problem we have! Any radical moves to reign in and regulate would likely be met with a swift negative reaction in the markets leading to potentially more problems.

Maybe things just haven't gotten bad enough yet? Maybe the populations of the anglo world need to "grow a pair" and let the politicians that control them know that they can't take their passivity for granted? I'm sure we will eventually arrive at the establishment of a new economic global order closer to the vision of Germany and France,I just don't think it's going to happen at this G20 meeting.

Hopefully it's a position the we'll arrive at sooner rather than later,before we get to complete economic melt-down,civic disorder and bloodshed!
