World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

On the 10th. anniversary of the first Gulf War I jumped into the moat (empty) in front of British Parliament (quite a drop!) and chose the statue of Cromwell ( as a symbol of British genocidal pactices past & present) to kneel in front of, with my back to while addressing media and tourists above. I had a photo of an Iraqi child around my kneck as a symbolof the sanctions.

Refused to walk and was carried pretty clumnbsily by 4 older type cops, who keapt giving me grief about being a "16 stone man worried about starving children" (Cynicism remains the 5th. column of the establishment!)

They informed that I had "offended the speaker of the house and that Pariament was both a court & a palace" before casting me into a medieavel type cell- without frisking me, so I made quite a few mobile phone calls before the battery ran out (why do I keep forgetting to charge the thang before deomstrations). Oh well...see ya Sunday. maybe we can have a "Don't Vote - It Only Encourages Them!" box?

it's cool. Fair play. encantada. Free Speech.(I'm particularly delighted to read there's still someone out there who'll use such open space to mumble indecipherable nonsense about the Black and Tans! I wonder does anyone still care about Cromwell?)
