POPSBroon modelling for Michaelangelo.
Put maer Gin in yer tonic, Gordin. Labour Cullodened in Glasgow east. Within the next eighteen months that will be the same in Blackpool. Why? Last night I talked to a young man who echoed the derision of youth and the enthusiasm of not having lived through past Labour miseries on the late 60's and mid 70's. With prospective Conservatives swanning it in deepest Rwanda, now is an ideal time for the youth of the region to kick these fossils in the dangly bits. Go for it Ben. If you can't find a decent Party to adopt you, follow the lead of the Independent Doctor in the Forest of Dean and go it alone. I think the Conservatives have dropped a clanger with their nominee and I will be doing everything in my power to explain why to the electorate. Already the hierarchy of the local CP(Conservative Party) refuse to debate their situation with anyone not in their local party. Where was that article that say it takes £20K to get a nomination as a CP prospective candidate?

POPSScottish Earthquake Stuns Labour In the history of UK politics this a major event. The result brings the reality of the disintegration of the United Kingdom. At the same time it marks a stunning message to the UK quasi Labour government's abysmal record on addressing poverty and the forgotten constituencies of those mired in the excrement of Gordon Brown's economic policies.

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.

POPSWhy The Brits Are Setting Terrorists Free It is surely no accident that this failure to grasp the true dimensions of the Islamic terrorist threat is so pronounced among the British elite. For these are the people whose education and careers embody the key attribute of Britain's liberal society – the belief that the world is governed by rational agents acting in their rational self-interest. The British ruling class just doesn't get religious fanaticism. That is why its judges and politicians are finding it so difficult to fight Islamic terror. Not just Britain but the whole world is less safe as a result.

POPS"Institutionally racist" MET is sued by leading Muslim police chief for racial discrimination!! Ghaffur is the latest senior ethnic minority officer to decide to sue the Met for discrimination. Dizaei, who is a commander in the Met, received a payout in his case, while the case of Shabir Hussain is still being heard. Personal, I believe the reason for the discrimination is due to his opposing the Labour government in its repressive Bush inspired 42 day detention period that is tearing the Labour party apart and will do for Brown. Another legacy of Bush's 9/11.

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.

POPSThe sleepy Church of England At a time when the Government is justifying robbing the poorest in their community, where Conservatives still have not realised that sleaze will destroy them, and the Mad Lib Dems would open our borders to every bleeding heart in the world, a strong moral stance is needed from elsewhere. Let's get The All Night Party started.

POPSMay Day Massacre May Day, aka Labour Day. The absurd specatacle of a Labour Prime Minister, a LABOUR prime minister, shrugging off the 'difficult economic circumstances' facing the losers from his ten year gambling spree. Even now he has the audacity to prop up the private profits of banks with taxpayers' money.

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.

POPSEgypt detains 95 over general strike It was quieter than usual on Sunday and the weather matched the mood of the city. There was a dust storm, a khamsin. The tallest buildings in downtown Cairo were invisible, riot police were in force at Midan Tahrir. Classes were canceled at schools and universities. People are fed-up with class disparity and corruption. It is unclear who initiated the call which snowballed after some 25,000 employees at the textile plant in Mahalla announced plans to strike from Sunday over low salaries and price hikes. On Saturday the interior ministry threatened "immediate and firm measures against any attempt to demonstrate, disrupt road traffic or the running of public establishments and against all attempts to incite such acts."

POPSTrade Unions: Don't follow anti-Worker USA
"Compared to the thriving £2.3bn-a-year anti-union industry in the United States, where up to 80% of corporations faced with a union organising campaign turn to a union-busting consultancy or specialist law firm, the business is still fairly low-key in Britain. Only a handful of companies are known to have thus far availed themselves of the services of the major US firms, which bear names such as the Burke Group, Labour Relations Institute and PTI Labour Research and have shown a mounting interest in the UK market ever since the Blair government's Employment Relations Act came into effect in June 2000, guaranteeing union recognition wherever a majority of employees are in favour. "The US firms got very excited about this," says John Logan of the London School of Economics, who recently completed a report on the issue for the TUC. "Their marketing line is basically: we've got 60 years of experience in union avoidance under laws like these, and we can help you. To my knowledge, at lea

POPSByelections galore Six more seats for the Labour Party and the Greens to fight over. Cost to Australia public? These selfish arrogants bastards couldn't care less. They will jump ship when one of their buddies shares the profits their govt gave them, offers them a job. (notice I said "job" not "work")

POPSAnother Labour inquiry into another Labour debacle! Can you really say that this is not illegal, not immoral and just not down right indecent? Do not tell me that it is incompetence. You do not stuff over 1/2million squiddly dids in your sky rocket because you are incompetent. You do not put in place an inquiry that is supposed to be impartial then empower within that inquiry former Labour Solicitor General Minister Lord Mackay of Clashfern as an integral part of that inquiry, if you want a quick and honest explanation of facts. Harriet Harman cannot be any party to this inquiry because she is implicated by receiving funds from the donor. Gordon has obviously put the Bishop on the payroll because his only chances of another Labour whitewash is held in the hands of the ALL MIGHTY -Sorry Tony has left so they seek another GOD.

POPSOngoing War Against Christianity in Britain An interesting quote from the Conservative Party spokesman (who is a Muslim) Sayeeda Warsi, the Conservative spokesman on community cohesion, was quoted as saying that the report shows "a breathtaking misunderstanding of what it is to be British. These proposals could actually damage cohesion....You don't build community cohesion by throwing out our history and denying the fundamental contribution Christianity has played and does play to our nation. As a British Muslim I can see that -- so why others can't just staggers me." She added: "The thought of Gordon Brown sharing responsibility with me for bringing up my children sends a shiver down my spine. I thought we got rid of communism."

POPS History? What history? Britain's new prime minister is keen to walk away from his record, but he needs to learn from it During his troubled partnership with Mr Blair, Mr Brown allowed speculation that he differed from him in undefined but important respects—less keen on private-sector delivery of public services, perhaps, more keen on the instrumental state. He now has two choices: either to make it clear that he stands by the policies on which his party was elected, renewing the intellectual case for them and pressing ahead, or to hoist new colours and seek a fresh mandate. So far he has done neither.

POPSInteresting Images. Odd&Sods. According to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach sex IS kosher if done with the right people for the right reasons. The 'Talmudic expert' on Jewish sexual affairs has launched a new website dealing with the problems faced by young Jewish people. His approach to the subject is often concidered controversial but it should prove to be an interesting site to say the least. The Forward had the article in this week's edition about the Rabbi's new venture.... The 'left' in Israel is one of the most disconcerted areas of political thought in the country. It has nothing that binds itself together as a unit. The result being, what seems to be, no way out of the mess the country is in today. The Labour Party, which was supposed to be the 'voice of the workers', the 'voice of sanity' has sold out all of its principles in recent years to become a part of the government, the very government that has been the occupying power of the Palestinian Territories for the past 40 years. The Communist Party of Isra
