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.

If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Sorry I admire Peter Thatchell.But I once read a comment by the Dalai Lama.Where he said sometimes there is a Just war.
Like The Allied Forces against Germany or the war to save Kosovo.
I feel Obama has said lets have peace.The ball is in Tehran.I know the cynical will say oh it for oil.The fact is Obama will make america lot less dependent on oil.I feel that if America does attack Iran it will try diplomacy first.Which the EU has been trying for years and getting no where.
Iran is a threat to Europe.Though most know it would attack Israel first.Whatever our opinions on Israel.Their is no control from a nuclear bomb.It will affect Jordan and Lebanon and Gaza too.Plus I feel we should all have learnt from Hiroshama.Nuclear weapons should not exist.
The fact is that Obama.Will never get UN agreement for even sanctions as China and Russia will block it.Just like it blocks action for Darfur.The UN lacks so much credibilty in my eyes,When it has countries like China and Russia.Who daily abuse human rights on the Security Council.But dont get me wrong I prefer the UN to nothing.Sometimes I wish.A new union of democratic states led by countries like New Zealand was stronger than the UN.
The UN does not even expel members who continue to breach its laws.It has no power to enforce them.Look at Burma.A failure on the UN's part,RwanaDa and Darfur are another failure to add to the list.
Though I opposed the war in Iraq.I do believe a strong arguement will have to come out to persuade me .Military action against Iran is wrong.Obama has inherited a disaster in Iraq and Afghanistan and I surely think it will be a long time before they would even think of striking Iran.
Well thats my view
If people have others I would like to hear them
I oppose the war in Iraq as well . It allowed the Tehran regime to get the stranglehold in Iraq that they had been so long been looking for . But that’s history now ,it’s time we started to look to the chance of peace that Obama seems to be offering for the region .
Since the much-needed change of government , US diplomacy has , in my opinion , skillfully succeeded in putting the ball in the court of the clerical-fascist mullahs . It’s important that progressive forces in the west keep putting the pressure on them as well .
As Peter Tatchell argues above , if Iran ceased to be an Islamo-fascist state , the case for war would be seriously weakened .
“They would no longer have the excuse that Iran is a terroristic, fundamentalist, anti-semitic dictatorship that is striving to develop nuclear weapons and which poses a serious threat to international peace and security.”
