Galloway, Sayeeda Warsi, and others discuss "Britishness" in a half-hour show on Al Jazeera from August 4, 2012--

(Maybe somebody could move this to the Galloway archive?)

Off topic, but not worth a new thread: could someone help a Yank out? I was watching an old Galloway news clip from the time of leaving the Big Brother show--

Is the blonde-haired reporter in red at the right of the screen the same presenter that is ...

I know there are some Adam Curtis fans around here. Here's an art piece he did for the Manchester Festival 2009--

Great coverage, Faceless. Thanks.

(All that's missing are the excerpts from [url=mms://wms.edgecastcdn.net/200216/ipresstv] Press TV's [/url] news reports, but I admit that would be pretty hard to pull together. :) )

Here's the link to Yvonne Ridley's diary of the trip (where the above article can ...

He explained at the end that this was due to "people pressing buttons for Press Complaints";

"I wish we had longer to discuss the issue that we've been discussing for most of the last hour, but, well ... there are obviously difficulties in conducting a radio discussion of this sensitivity with ...

Got a nice reply from an email to TalkSport--
Dear David,

Many thanks for the below email.


On Saturday evening talkSPORT took the editorial decision to run a
rolling news service in order to report the situation that was
developing in the Middle East rather than proceed with the scheduled ...

This won't be be published, but I left it at Kamm's blog--

<i>"And I'm anxious in that case to publish this correction."</i>

Why then have you only quoted more of your own turgid posturing? Let's hear what TalkSport actually said to you.

(By the way, why don't you explain to your readers the ...

I suspect the pro-Israeli Lobby put pressure on Talksport.

I just listened to Friday's show in the archives, and something tells me you're right. It seems something is up. It was obvious from his tone even before the Kamm interview (when he essentially admitted that he was being put under ...

In his Friday, Aug. 8 show, Galloway mentioned that he had just guest-commentated on the the Jeremy Vine show on the subject of the Beijing opening ceremnonies. I'd like to hear that; does anyone have it --either audio or video?

"I doubt any middle east station would complain about copyright."

One of the peculiarities of MEMRI is that it claims copyright of of all the stories it translates. (Most legitimate news publishers consider the original source to be the copyright holder.) If there is indeed a campaign to remove ...

They're referring to the Iraq Study Group Report ("Baker-Hamilton Report") that was released on Dec. 6, 2006 (shortly after the U.S. elections). Basically it said that the mess in Iraq was more serious than previously reported, and that its solution required a comprehensive approach to the whole ...

A politician may take on a cause that is unpopular, or so much against the current thinking of the government or establishment, that they start to get a Jesus complex, to think that they are a lonely voice of righteousness on a path to martyrdom, or that in some way they are already on the cross ...
