POPSSeven reasons to indict Nu Lieber? I am not a conspiracy theorist. I honestly believe that Nu Lieber is dependant on the apathy and dogma of it's supporters. Watching Hazel Blears dig her way into trouble on the News, is sad for a once proud political party. If she has not yet realised the reason few go to the local elections it is just because they are not invited to participate. Champagne socialist like Ms Blears are about a close to the electorate as Hitler was to the Jews, the Gypsies or Bolsheviks. With her temporary leader firing own goals at PMQ's, it's about time the vets use a humane killer and put this party to sleep, once and for all.

POPSIs Labour buying silence? After politicising the Civil Service, this corrupt government is now financially rewarding betrayal. Betrayal of an ethos that meant the British CS was the least corrupt in the World. Who can say that this is earned when there are over 3million pensioners still not receiving their rightful benefits, when English men are being suborned into third class citizens in their own country with threats of insidious new laws that prohibit love of ones own country, where these same civil servants act as judge and jury into claims for disability from injured war heroes, these same people who have denied access to personal records that prevent thousands of former soldiers getting a real pensions. Also these same people acquiesce with corrupt political regimes in the hiding of expenses abuses.

POPSAustralian Gov't feed us bulsh@^! Skills crisis!!! to work at maccas or kill more chicken!!! they really think we are stupid!!!!! more evidence of coorporate greed (lousy product, most minimum wage possible) and government stupidity (allowing their business friends to import cheap labor with no strings attached) which will result in an influx of immigrants (read cheap labor so the rich can get even more profit without having to pay real wages and these immigrants wont care about rights and pensions etc) therefore the australian worker is by passed, . , as it is they can't ever get your order right.

POPSSocialized Medicine Report It's amazing that people actually want this system in the U.S. No matter how many things the government screws up, there are still people that are eager to turn over more power and control to them.

POPSBritish Set to Leave Iraq, Abandoning US Occupation First the Aussies, now the Brits. Suddenly the US has no major "international forces" but its own to occupy Iraq. This is a rebuke to the Blair-Bush alliance, and the "liberal" (neo-conned) Labor Party in the UK has suffered for the Iraq scheme (note that democrats) which the people know was built on lies and 9/11 propaganda for a "war on terrorism". This puts all eyes and pressure on the US whose "international coalition of the willing" has fallen apart.

POPSFrom Across the Pond - Step forward George Bush From Blog: And who will be joining in the call: leading voices in the worlds of the arts and politics, including the novelist Iain Banks, the artist David Gentleman and the human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger, have now joined forces to call for Mr Bush to face a war crimes trial in the Hague. Wonder how the Brits will handle the security and where they will force their citizens to assemble. Labour Against the War Anti-war protest planned for Bush visit to London Stop the War Coalition (STWC) described Bush as a "war criminal" and said the protest will be held outside the British parliament on June 15. And a Happy Fathers Day jr. bush, by the way, why isn't your new son-in-law in a military uniform!

POPSMeltdown for Labour as UK Right Surges If there is any good news for the Left in the UK it is that there has never been a better time to speak out for a new party that displays decency, an ethical foreign policy and a genuine commitment to those disenfranchised by the savage redistribution of wealth to the rich.

POPSLet them eat spuds: the world's new staple Anybody can grow them in their garden. They are much prettier than grass and the loosen up the soil for the next crop. And with 5,000 varieties, they should be out of reach of the biotech industry. Indeed, they are the perfect recession / depression crop. Also, once you start growing potatoes, you start growing other food, too.

POPSUK: 3,000 Girls forced into Marriage "Of course, there are thousands of arranged marriages happening in Britain each year but that is very different, as both partners in these are willing participants. "We are talking about girls being very much coerced into those marriages, often not knowing beforehand who their husbands will be, and then having little or no rights once they are married. Most of them feel there is simply no one they can turn to.' Labour MP Margaret Moran, who helped set up the study in her constituency of Luton South, said she was shocked by the scale of abuse which they had uncovered. "It's uncomfortable for people to think about, but it can't remain this hidden any longer. "It's not simply about Muslim families; we also found that it happens among Chinese and African communities too, such as the Somali families. Nor is it something that comes across with new immigrants. ...Guardian
