Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1The UNICAL pipline from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean is looking less likely now as the plan to control Afghanistan is falling apart with the reat of the Bush Plan. British have run from their base in Helman and the Canadians who were supposed to be looking for Taliban are really to busy burying their dead here are some of them....

I am of course referring to the carnivorous plant which ate a mouse in Lyons (France). Is it too much wonder that someday the US will genetically modify the small range of carnivirous plants provided us by Mother Nature in all her quirks (& possibly divine delusion) to attack humans in the battle field?
if you go to the link I left in the original article you will be able to watch a video! & the good news is that that video is not part of the "you Tube" network or even the rumoured video download imperialistic ambitions of "Yahoo".

Others amongst the readership will just want the facts.
for we have to realise that the order of vegetatious organisms previously referred to by different & often mutually hostile traditions or biologists as insectivorous plants have now demonstrated mamiferous munching potential . But...... they only do it once. Strangely enough no plant has yet evolved that ate flesh of either bug or rodent kind twice. It's a once off phenomona, & one which doesn't even provide energy only nutrients. This of course means we don't need to measure the calorific value of either the mouse eaten or common or garden housefly.
here endeth the lesson.

KABUL, Afghanistan, Oct. 15 — Two Canadian soldiers in the NATO force were killed and three were wounded in an ambush in southern Afghanistan on Saturday afternoon, and an Afghan provincial council member was assassinated Sunday on his way to work, officials said.
The Canadians were killed when their convoy came under fire by rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire in Kandahar Province, forcing their unit to call in airstrikes, according to a NATO news release. Thirty-four Canadian soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan this year, and 42 since November 2001.

"Ain't nobody here but US chickens"

the Afghans are used to terrible air quality in the cities because they use diesel for EVERYTHING there.
