WARSI MAKES A MARK AT LAST.

Sayeeda Warsi's rise from total obscurity to a number of senior posts within the Conservative party and government seems to have been more a consequence of her sex, ethnic origins and religion than any innate abilities or qualities. David Cameron, in a mad scramble to appear 'inclusive', simply grabbed hold of the first passing Muslim woman and promoted her with very little consideration as to where his actions might lead.

Yesterday, Ms. Warsi, whom Cameron unaccountably elevated to the House of Lords in 2007, resigned from her government posts of 'Senior Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs' and 'Minister of State for Faith and Communities' in protest at the government's miserable failure to say or do anything meaningful about the disgusting behaviour of Israel in the current conflict in Gaza. Surely, no decent and unbiased person could disagree with her action though, of course, Cameron and others in positions of power did.

Warsi is no superstar of British politics and will probably now fade into history. Her previous performance as Co-Chairman of the Conservative party was somewhat  less than awe-inspiring and her more recent roles have hardly seen her make headlines, until her resignation. The kick in the 'privates' she's now delivered to her former boss is probably the most meaningful political act of her life and may well have repercussions throughout the British establishment. Cameron's idiotic excursion into the silly world of 'inclusivity' has come back to bite him on the arse, big time.

What Cameron and his ilk forget is that some people do, ultimately, have principles and morals, unlike them. Eventually, the unprincipled and immoral are found out and brought to book. Well done, Ms. Warsi.

PUTIN, NETANYAHU AND WORLD WAR 3.

What is going on in the world ?





In the middle east, we have the Israelis launching the full might of their considerable military strength against a hugely inferior Palestinian force and killing hundreds of civilians in the process, all in the pursuit of what they claim to be 'protecting their citizens'. In the Ukraine, we have a civilian aeroplane shot down and almost 300 people killed; the Russian President, the dictator Putin, claims that the fault lies with the Ukrainian authorities while he's also been backing and supplying the Ukrainian rebels who probably shot down the craft.





The rest of the world makes noises but does nothing of real note. Benjamin Netanyahu, the war mongering and viciously anti-Palestinian Israeli president seems to do whatever he wants with no one prepared to really challenge him; he carries the badge of the historic NAZI atrocities on his arm as a protective shield that no one feels able to breach. The world is terrified of offending the Jews for fear of being accused of being racist, anti-Semitic and like the NAZIs. The Jews exploit this reticence and attack their 'enemies' at will and without fear of any real condemnation or even anything much more than a mild rebuke.





As for Putin, he does have real power but he also has real vulnerabilities, and yet the UN and others just let him carry on. They rebuke him and impose sanctions, but they do very little that will actually stop him. This  man is a monster, every bit as evil as his Soviet era predecessors, and we largely ignore his atrocities. While the days of the 'Iron Curtain' and 'Berlin Wall' are behind us, it seems that a new 'Cold War' is brewing as Russia vies with the western powers for control of eastern Europe and the Caucasus. Will Putin actually goes as far as to invade another country ? If he did, what would the West do about it ? The answer is 'Probably nothing', for fear of what might then happen. Meanwhile, Putin exploits the weakness of Western leaders and does what he likes, exactly as the butcher Netanyahu does in Israel.





Roll on World War 3. At least that might rid us of these disgusting individuals and allow the few who remain to start the human race over again. If no one's left, does it matter ? The earth would undoubtedly be better off without us.
