is the rough ratio of how many Gazans died compared to the number of Israelis during the latest military operation by Israel called ‘Cast Lead’.
We are, generally, aware of the huge cost that this has wreaked in Gaza and few of us, even when realising we wouldn’t like it if someone was throwing rockets into [...]

Rule 303 and Your Freedom’s Up…

Apart from a couple of quick personal asides this ones about freedom and what it means when we loose it.
This evening I’m off to stand outside an emerging church cafe evening because it’s about faith and politics – as a smoker I can no longer just go on in and if segregation isn’t political I [...]
The Kingdom of Prince Caspian

well, alright it’s a rather tacky way of sticking a review of The Kingdom and The Narnia Chronicles: Prince Caspian together in one title…
I think both films are both fantastic and gritty. The idea of a large bomber that causes such damage as to eventually let the FBI have permission to send an investigative team [...]

or Blame Somebody Else
Whilst I don’t think anybody should plot to blow folk up, actually blow folk up or even help folk to blow other folk up there’s been an interesting spin on the ruling against Yeshiemebet Girma, the wife of Hussain Osman one of the 21/7 bombers and plotters and that is it’s her [...]
As I was walking the new and four-legged

addition to the family I was musing that when I was a youngster – back in the 70s the high end of dog walking/training etiquette was that if the dog being walked needed to ‘go’ -yes this is my early warning we are going to use ‘dirty’ words… then the dog would be trained to [...]

Is Brown Mad?
Now those over 16 can expect a court appearance if found with a knife – much wrangling has been done so that carrying a pocketknife as millions peacefully do from being caught in this net – the ‘hope’/’plan’/’child’s scheme’ is that the fear of a court appearance will put the wind up youngsters [...]
The Police State
Posted in Britain Today, Terror, politics on Thursday, 22 May, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Whilst the police may or may not have a genuine gripe about their pay – they do have lots of muscle and when you go to collect a composer at the ripe old age of 61 – you obviously need it. The story is here, I found it flicking through The Daily Telegraph to find [...]

Six words… I have been tagged… and the rule is Six Words…
That’s all, just six words to explain/narrate my life so far…
Well thanks Pepsoid and here’s to you as well Baekho for tagging him and I won’t forget you either MissDemureRestraint (please note – if you want me to ‘name and shame’ your tagger, in [...]

This look at modern ‘Rule 303‘ infractions into our lives is not to mention more that have been killed by the state….
But that the state wants to be able to so from under a blanket of secrecy. I stumbled across a comment in the rag from Thursday about the ‘Diana Inquest’ which praised the [...]
‘Rule 303′
Posted in Rule 303, Terror, philosophy, politics on Friday, 9 November, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Harry Morant, as played by Edward Woodward in the film ‘Breaker Morant’, uses this ‘Rule 303′ to defend his actions against a trumped up court martial as the British were trying to settle the Boer War without the Germans getting involved. Apart from making the quick aside about leaving a conflict too soon can see [...]
