#3 This is excellent news, for a number of reasons, including: kudos to Blair's government for showing backbone (again) in the nation's interests re the middle east, and openly adopting a pro-Israel policy; kudos too for showing a reluctance to toe the EU line as regards "consensus" foreign policy (this gives encouragement that the government will not be flexible when it comes to negotiating (or, hopefully, not ratifying) the final version of the EU constitution; this also demonstrates to all nations in the EU that at least one other isn't going to allow her foreign policy to be dictated by Brussels, and that it's still up to them to decide for themselves - EU membership does not remove nations' individual responsibility. This should give encouragement to anti-idiotarian and anti-federalist voices in other countries in Europe.

#4 So Blair's doing something right, other than the WoT - good! I know he's a die-hard liberal, but in the WoT, Merkins see him as a brave and unapologetic ally - and thus is Britain. We / I find it odd and disquieting how the UK press seems to relish skewering him. I appreciate your reminders and clarifications about his domestic liberalism, though it seems incongruous.

And it is very good to know that the looming EU disaster isn't a done deal from the British perspective. Thx, bulldog! Please help us be better informed of how it affects the UK and what people really think. I don't trust any of the official news outlets or polls to tell me other than what their editorial agendas contain. I consider your posts to be an excellent bullshit detector! Thx, again! ;->

#5 I would still rather that Hamas charities in the US and the UK ceased operations due to total lack of support. Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen as some bozos think that spending an hour with Castro is an uplifting experience.

#6 So you saw that Beeb suck-fest, too. Disgusting. Does the BBC issue kneepads to all it's "reporters"?

#10 My apologies, Ptah! Sometimes I act like I was raised by wolves. I just couldn't resist calling him out, that's all. I'll try not to do it again.
