I'm sure there was a Galloway for PM petition mentioned on this site, that the same website refused to host, I think because it wasn't something the PM could do anything about. I don't see how the same doesn't hold for Clarkson. For a lefty I'm probably quite fond of Clarkson, but it seems like ...

It's like Microsoft's argument they they can't be a monopoly due to the presence of Linux.

Funnily enough I was at a meeting the other day wher a Zionist made just that argument. He said it in the context of whether a boycott would be viable, having mentioned that Microsoft uses Israeli made ...

Thanks Mandy, looks like the republican part of the revolution is on course for completion within a month! But its been a long and winding road, sparked by a Maoist uprising starting in 1996. I don't know the exact state of play of the various factions now, and where the Maoists will go from here ...

Some things you should agree on:

1. There should be a UN comission for human rights violations by Israel/US/Uk, and won't be for obvious reasons

2. Nepal is a brutal absolute monarchy and a Western ally, I wouldn't be surprised by human rights violations there, but the ongoing Nepalese revolution ...

What a craven first quote from the "Lenin" site, regretting that George was being booed for something other than daring to criticise the SWP, which would have been the correct reason to boo him I suppose :lol:

"though I believe [not 100% sure] that the UK does still have the death penalty for certain crimes, but I think they are related to crimes against the Monarchy and/or dealing with the enemy"

Not since 2004, when these last treason penalties were abolished with the incorporation of EU law (35 years ...

I distinctly remeber the clip with Tony Blair saying "I don't want to get into a shouting match with that particular individual" being after his interview where he said he could see why an Iraqi might feel justified in assainating the PM (though he said it would be a bad idea all round). But that ...

I just searched for "Portillo Science of Killing" on Google video and nothing came up, has it not uploaded yet. I would be very interested in seeing it as I almost did when it was broadcast. It would have been the first TV I've seen on a system that lets you see TV over the internet, but my Norton ...
