It would not be the first time Israeli jet fighter have overflow a Middle Eastern country to attack a direct threat. They did it in the 80’s when Sadam was looking forward to his new Nuclear facility being built by the French. Back then it was not supposed to be used for...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/557431In the Uk we have gone back to the bad old days of strikes to solve all our problems. People are really suffering now that prices have gone through the roof. I once worked it out that we are paying 3 times more for a tank of fuel here than in the USA, and most of that goes in tax. What most...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/475978Big Brother is sniffing you! After just listening to a radio report on the Police and the use of CTV cameras, you get the same old story. People say on the one hand, if you don’t have a guilty conscience what have you to worry about? Then there is the civil liberties issue? So why should we worry...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/460924Last night I watched an old film from the early 80’s about London gangsters. Bob Hoskins at his best, along with a cast which actually included some real London villains of not notoriety. Still a good film but today I think it held some troubling lessons. The film was about being a big fish in a...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/368560John Prescott!!! What is this man playing at? I saw on the box last night that the girl in the story: Tracy Temple is to get over 100,000 from Max Clifford from The News of the World. At first I thought this was another decent into the pit, but when Max came on to put their side of the story I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/365548China! China looks like becoming the worlds super-power. One of the reasons I think we have little to fear from China, is due to its size. Sure there are a hell of a lot of them, but 90% of the population have never picked up a telephone. They have one of the largest populations on the Web, but I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/364293Iran and the Bomb! The fact that the US will be turning to Iran as the next port of call for it’s war machine, cannot be in any doubt now. One thing the Arab world has got wrong, was the fact that they all thought the US would turn the other cheek after 9/11. The Arabs had been used to skirmishes...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/354986Beagle2 It looks like they found the Beagle2 space craft that crashed a couple of Christmases ago. http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolavconsole/ukfs_news/hi/bb_rm_fs.stm?nbram=1&news=1&bbwm=1&nbwm=1&bbram=1 Sure enough it must be smashed into a million pieces, but I wonder if they could not activate it in...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/353982Poor old Tessa. Well it seems the culture secretary Tessa Jowell, is in such hot water only a miracle can save here. Every day some other nasty secret about here husband David Mills seems to surface. If its not their murky dealings with the Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi, it’s the fact that he used...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/slam2869/323668Cameron? The fact that the Tories have elected a new leader will not turn their fates around. Tony got in my stealing their cloths, and there are few policies in use by the Labour government now, that were not in place in John Major’s day. In fact the only difference is that VAT is wider now than...
