Chickens coming home to roost.

Robert Fisk: The old partition of the Middle East is dead. I dread to think what will follow.

As the chickens come home to roost, the sordid carve up of the entire Middle East by France and Great Britain in 1917 and onward, is exposed as an Anglo French conspiracy, which betrayed Arabs, Palestinians, Kurds, Shia, Sunni and other peoples of the area and installed pro European families  in exchange for political advantage and oil. These families were unwanted by the people of the newly created "countries" and today are provoking protest and bloodshed in city after city throughout  the region.
The carve up of 1917, more commonly known as the "Sykes-Picot Agreement", took no consideration of ethnic, tribal, geographical and perhaps most importantly religious differences of the area and drew straight lines in the sand to create artificial borders between the new "states" and which are now being systematically dismantled, to be redrawn in some as yet unknown location and the ruling cliques replaced by some as yet unknown government.
The current crisis, which has in fact been rumbling on for decades past, is entirely the making of the "West" in the form of France and Great Britain and has over the years since the end of the Second World War, been exacerbated by the United States with their interventionist foreign policies in the area, their tired use of the phrase "establish peace and  democracy" and their unswerving and unconditional support of Israel who, in American eyes, can do nothing wrong.
The current situation will no doubt continue for some time and may well spread to other areas involving as yet unspecified nations or groups. There are numerous scenarios for the present conflict and its progress, none of which are very pleasant.
When chickens come home to roost, the ramifications are often catastrophic.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
