    The invasion of Iraq was illegal, a senior government lawyer told the Chilcot inquiry into the war today. (full article…)

  • Nick Griffin

    One-fifth of Britain would vote for ‘racist’ Nick Griffin (full article…) I watched the BBC appearance – it was quite boring and silly. Besides the ridiculous posturing over who Winston Churchill “belongs to”, the mainstream politicians were unable to convincingly reject a moron like Griffin. Jack Straw especially bumbled his part… dodging criticism of the [...]

  • The Big Question

    So are British troops in Afghanistan there to defend the UK from al-Qa’ida attack, as Gordon Brown says? No, we are there because the priority of British foreign policy is to stick close to the Americans.

  • The Value of an Afghan Life

    The two were immediately taken into custody and for four days whisked from hideout to hideout, in an effort to avoid detection. However, coalition forces were monitoring their cell-phone conversations and a helicopter-borne rescue operation was soon mounted by British commandos. The commandos stormed the hideout and Munadi, dressed in Afghan clothes, came out shouting [...]

  • My Lords…

    My Lords, I think it is important and is a reflection of the fact that there are people of good will on all sides of this who, whatever their views about the conflict and its origins or long-term peace, recognise that in today%u2019s world these kinds of crimes, whether they occur in Gaza, northern Sri [...]

  • British Torture

    Ls services secrets britaniques sont une nouvelle fois secoués par une affaire de torture. Un citoyen britannique, condamné pour terrorisme, assure qu’un agent des services secrets lui a offert d’abandonner ses accusations pour torture en échange d’une somme d’argent ou d’une réduction de peine.

  • Where the Money Flows

  • Chomsky on Obama

    In short, Obama’s forceful reiteration of Israel’s right to defend itself is another exercise of cynical deceit … The deceit is particularly striking in this case because the occasion was the appointment of Mitchell as special envoy. Mitchell’s primary achievement was his leading role in the peaceful settlement in northern Ireland. It called for an [...]

  • Merry X-Mas

    The participants were a group of anti-Israel activists, most of them Palestinians and some Jews, who are urging a boycott of products made in the Jewish state. One of the Jewish activists even volunteered to change the songs’ words. The Times newspaper reported that the carol “Once in Royal David’s City” was altered to say [...]

  • Impressions of the UN Refugee Agency in London

    Yesterday, I formally began my internship at the UNHCR in London. Overall it was a decent experience – albeit a very busy and immediate introduction to their work.

  • UNCHR Internship in London
