The UK’s Climate Change Secretary, Ed Miliband, has stated it would be “profoundly irresponsible” to use one “mistake” as an excuse not to act. He was referring to the fact that the Himalayan Glaciers have not seemed to melt in quite the ‘doom and gloom’ manner predicted by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate […]

Whale….We Certainly Got You This Time!
The Japanese certainly have a delicate way of dealing with anti-whaling protesters. This video was shot by whaling researchers from the Institute of Cetacean Research. Fortunately, the crew of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s high-tech speedboat, managed to escape any harm, other than that to both their pride and vessel….
Does Anyone Really Want To ‘Find’ Osama Bin Laden?
Unquestioning support for the presence of both our own and US forces in Afghanistan is rapidly dwindlng. As the number of troops returning from the country in coffins is increasing, our realisation of the difficulty of achieving a quick exit strategy is finally sinking in. In the US, President Obama is, at present, deciding whether […]
Coincidence Of Child Deformities In Iraqi Town Of Falluja?
A baby born with two heads, many with multiple tumours and others with extensive damage to the central nervous system. It sounds like the kind of horror to be found in the plot of a science fiction film but is, in reality, what is happening in the Iraqi town of Falluja. The level of chronic […]
Life On Planet Concussion!
It has been a while since I last posted on here, following my spectacular dive down the stairs and my teeth numbing stop, using my head as a brake, against a doorframe. Since my unplanned flight, I have been living on Planet Concussion. It is a strange world I entered after needing the rather confusing […]
Director Of The FBI Is A Hypocrite!
Predictably, the outcry over the compassionate release of the only person convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, has been loud and spoken malnly with an american accent. Poor old Kenny MacAskill, Scotland’s justice secretary, has been the main target. He claims to have made the decision to release Megrahi all on […]
Lockerbie Bomber Leaves More Questions Than Conviction!
The only man convicted over the Lockerbie bombing 20 years ago, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, has, as expected, been released from his life sentence on compassionate grounds. Megrahi is said to be suffering from prostate cancer and is not expected to live for more than a few months. No one can deny the bombing […]
Planet Earth to Collide with either Mars or Venus!
We’re all doomed! Computer simulations have predicted that our planet Earth might collide with either Mars or Venus– but not for at least another billion years! By that time, we will probably already have destroyed ourselves by one of a multitude of perils like Swine Flu, nuclear stupidity, global warming, another crap government or boredom […]
Extradition To US Without Evidence – Time For Change!
Yesterday, I was sent a request to sign a petition on behalf of a husband and wife living in Scotland, to stop their extradition to the USA. Their names are Brian and Kerry-Ann Howes and they have four children. Their ‘crime’ is to have supplied two chemicals – both of which are perfectly legal in […]
Pandemic Of The Press!
It seems we are all doomed. Well we are if we are to believe the stories in the tabloids and the reports being shown on tonight’s early evening news. Apparently, two people in the UK have now been confirmed as having Swine Flu, the highly contagious version of the flu family for which we do […]
