2007-11-05 13:28 A Battle Rages in London Over a Mega-Mosque Plan
Disputes over mosques have broken out across Europe. Residents from Belgium to France to Germany have expressed unease at minarets competing in the urban landscape with the spires and stones of centuries-old cathedrals. But the fight raging over an abandoned lot in London's East End is of an altogether grander scale. A large and secretive Islamic sect proposed building what would have been the largest mosque in Europe, smack at the gateway to the 2012 Olympic Games, and within sight of London's …

2007-11-04 10:13 80% af briterne mener at regeringen lyver om indvandringen
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's party is still trailing in the polls and 80 per cent of Britons think his government is being dishonest about immigration, surveys showed today. Asked whether public services would cope with the influx, 49 per cent said they were not at all confident; 33 per cent said they were not very confident; 11 per cent said they were fairly confident and four per cent said they were very confident.

Samtidigt som polisen nu inleder en kampanj mot gatuvåldet i Sverige fortsätter debatten om våldet ökat eller ej. Men läkare på sjukhusens akutmottagningar, rättsläkare och poliser är eniga: karaktären på det våld som använts har förändrats kraftigt. Enligt polis och rättsläkare börjar mord allt mer likna avrättningar. Våldets karaktär har förändrats (Malmø alene havde to skudepisoder dette døgn ) »Migrants take all new job in Britain« hvem sagde at "indvandringen rammer bunden hårdest og …

2007-10-25 20:20 All for one, one for all
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 25/10/07): Students of the European Union have become accustomed to rating competing member states in a sort of political Champions League table. National standings vary as leaders come and go. The perennial question is: who's up, who's down It's a game the likes of Jacques Chirac loved to play. But in the lull after the storm over the EU's reform treaty, Europe's current Big Three - Britain's Gordon Brown, Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy - fi …

2007-10-24 17:09 At last, consensus in the Middle East: all agree these talks are bound to fail
By Jonathan Freedland (THE GUARDIAN, 24/10/07): It takes a special kind of genius to unite the warring parties of the Israel-Palestine conflict, but George Bush may just have pulled it off. His proposal for what the US administration calls a "meeting", rather than a peace conference, in Annapolis, Maryland, before the end of the year has elicited a unanimity unheard of in the Middle East. From the hardmen of Hamas to the hawks of Likud, there is a rare consensus: Annapolis is doomed to failure. …

Ah, the tabloids... Bless them. Just when you think no newspaper can keep a healthier stable of high horses than the New York Times, Fleet Street reminds one that humbug and sanctimony are both alive and well in London. Gordon Brown just made his life more difficult. If he does renege upon Labour's promise to hold a referendum upon the EU constitution treaty - even in its revised "non-treaty" form- he's made an enemy of Britain's best-selling paper, The Sun. Good. Here's what The Sun says today …

2007-10-18 20:00 We must stand up to this cynical stitch-up
By Camilla Cavendish (THE TIMES, 18/10/07): Tonight, Europe s leaders will be picking over some Euro-trivia along with their hors d oeuvres. The Austrians are worried that Germany might nick their medical students. The Poles want an extra court official on the European Court of Justice. The Bulgarians want to use the word œevro instead of œeuro which has upset the European Central Bank. These are, apparently, the last stumbling blocks to agreement on the draft EU treaty. No one at this dinne …

2007-10-16 11:57 "The Progress of All Peoples"
In a little-noticed coda to the summer he devoted to a concerted reiteration of the church's social Magisterium, in late September B16 launched into two Angelus catecheses on the proper use of capital, and the dangers of its excesses. From the translations provided by L'Espresso's Sandro Magister, here's the text of the Pope's 30 September talk: Today, Luke's Gospel presents to us the parable of the rich man and poor Lazarus (Lk 16: 19-31). The rich man personifies the wicked use of riches by th …

2007-10-16 05:30 London faces up to reality and seeks deal with Taliban
The Exile loves a good Whitehall spin, especially when it is covering up a defeat for imperialism. Yesterday's Guardian gave an example of such spin in action when it reported that the British plan "to split the Taliban by securing the defection of senior members of the militant group and large numbers of their followers". The report goes on the state that quite a few Taliban have already given up the fight and are coming over to the Kabul government's side. Buried a long way down the report is …

Over the next few weeks you will receive e-mails and letters from all sorts of Important People telling you to vote for one candidate or another. Take my advice: ignore them and make up your own mind. Here, for instance, is Shirley Williams commenting on Ming's resignation today: The original expectation was that there was going to be an election probably last month. Gordon Brown had indicated that, Ming was prepared and ready to lead into that fray, but I think now that the election is not like …

2007-10-15 13:00 Civil Liberties: Detention without Trial
Hauled before a military tribunal at the American naval base in Guantánamo Bay, the detainee, picked up in Afghanistan, asked why he was being held. For associating with a member of al-Qaeda, he was told. Give me his name, the detainee demanded. The tribunal's president said he didn't know it. Nor did any of the tribunal's other members. œHow can I respond to this the detainee cried before being taken back to his cell to continue his detention, perhaps for the rest of his life.

2007-10-15 10:23 The de-moralisation of health care
Daily Mail, 15 October 2007 How in God's name have we come to this In three hospitals in Kent, at least 90 patients have died from a superbug infection caused by filthy conditions with unwashed bedpans, staff 'too busy' to clean their hands and - most appalling of all - nurses telling patients with diarrhoea to 'go in their beds'. This unspeakable situation reveals not just callousness towards suffering and indifference to human dignity but a breakdown of some of our most basic civilised values. …

The UK has supported plans to bring senior Taliban into the Afghan government, according to The Guardian: As British troops are being withdrawn from Iraq, the military presence in southern Afghanistan is to be bolstered in the next few months by the deployment of the Parachute Regiment and new Eurofighter/Typhoon fighter-bombers. At the same time, however, British officials have concluded that the Taliban is too deep-rooted to be eradicated by military means. Following a wide-ranging policy revi …

Via the admirable Mr E, I find Matthew Parris offering some sound advice to the Tories. Parris, one of the most urbane journalists working in London, found himself making an argument he didn't, on reflection, quite believe: Here was the wise argument: œDavid Cameron and his Conservative colleagues were entitled to their half-hour of fun at Prime Minister s Questions, at Brown s expense. They landed their punches. But they should not think this will serve as opposition policy for the next two yea …

2007-10-15 00:00 Sorry Gordon, but your body language doesn't lie
The British prime minister, Gordon Brown, says he is tempted to stop reading the front pages of the newspapers and just go straight to the sports reports. It is easy to see why he is so keen to avoid anything to do with politics and current affairs.

2007-10-14 05:36 [Blogs] Brown needs to end the days of 'fuzzy politics.'
Political cross-dressing is occasionally sensible from a tactical perspective but rarely does it make for an effective political strategy. Too many voters just don't see what the real differences are between the two main parties in Britain, we live in the age of fuzzy politics. As Gordon Brown attempts to set out his 'vision' for the nation he knows that he will need to articulate what differentiates progressive Labour politics from reactionary Conservative politics. For me there are three main …

2007-10-14 05:17 Brown: 'What is happening to me'
This is the question that prime minister Gordon Brown should be asking himself these days. Only recently, Labour was still 11 points ahead of the Tories, but this has changed quite quickly and drastically -- in the Tories' favour :Gordon Brown is facing a major new blow with an opinion poll showing public support for the Tories at its highest level for 15 years. The ICM survey for The Sunday Telegraph puts the Conservatives on 43 per cent - seven points ahead of Labour on 36 - with the Liberal D …

2007-10-14 00:00 Brown is good for a laugh, if nothing else
Say what you like about Gordon Brown, but he's certainly put the fun back into politics. Not that he intended to do so. Life for Brown is earnest. Highly intelligent, but a cautious and risk-averse control-freak, he reads, he broods, he frowns, he calculates, he plots, he dithers, reluctantly he decides and then he tells other people what to do, shouts at them if they demur and if there's any more backchat, he goes into a sulk.

2007-10-13 21:55 How will Gordon Brown rewrite the Bible
In today's Daily Telegraph Andy Burnham paved the way for another government theft of Tory policy. As the paper says: Andy Burnham, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, says there is a "moral case" for promoting the traditional family through the tax system. "I think marriage is best for kids," he says. "It s not wrong that the tax system should recognise commitment and marriage." If Gordon Brown is intending to steal this policy too, it will present him with an interesting problem. For in his s …

2007-10-13 20:31 Amerikanska generaler mot mardrömskriget i Irak
Genetral Ricardo Sanchez r G eneral Ricardo Sanchez var USA:s förste ÖB i Irak efter Tommy Franks som ledde invasionen. Det är Sanchez som bär ansvaret för tortyren i Abu Ghuraib och han skulle för länge sedan ha ställts inför den internationella krigsförbrytartribunalen. Men nu helt plötsligt, efter många års tystnad tar han bladet från munnen och kritiserar Bush-regeringen för dess hantering av Irakkriget. Kriget är, enligt Sanchez en mardröm utan slut för den amerikanska armén. Det är typiskt …
