West verses the East will never be brought together as their differences are
too immense and too complicated”

directly opposed to each other and nothing diplomatically will ever bridge that
divide”

sides have to make some drastic concessions to bring about positive new forces”

divide is not devastated, but where common ground can be reached to bring about
changes in the political discussions”

longer the main discussion, but where all factors can bring strong solutions to
the negotiating table”

compromise and efficacy, where everybody gains and few lose face as they bring

the people are an important factor, where stability on a long term basis
certainly is!”

and unproductive”

those thrown into the war zones and great hardship to those who instigate the
wars also”

questions, “Do we really need war and

put on the table together with an understanding of each other’s needs for
security and the right to defend themselves”
“Those common
interests become possible and a light of understanding is formed”
“Where continuous
aggression is always the subject matter…”
“…then little can be
done until that aggression, which is usually fear based, is alleviated”
“Man must have an understanding
of each other’s needs and fears and a solid framework where the factors are
discussed and solved”
“These will bring down
the many barriers of underlying grief and frustration”
“This must be held up
by International Law and respected for what it is laid down for
“Then countries can
come together and peaceful solutions are always found”

ice breaker where all gain collectively and it is in everybody’s interest to
maintain that status quo”

of war”

dictator put on the throne. He will have to answer to more than one master”

clearing these mines for 22 years”

employed 1,600 men and women from their own country to do this important work”

minefields”

clearance work it has now made land available for agriculture, where before it
was too dangerous to farm”

“The population of
marine mammals, birds, fish and reptiles have declined by 49% since the 1970
report prepared by the World Wildlife Fund”
“Since 1950 Big Fish
stocks have fallen by 90%. We only have 10% of all large fish left in our
oceans”
“These losses include
Tuna, Swordfish, Marlin, Cod, Halibut, Skate and Flounder, some of which are
still left”
“Since 1950, with the
onset of industrialised fisheries, we have rapidly reduced the resource base to
less than 10% over all our oceans”
“Marine life is being
threatened by human activity, which results in habitat loss together with
unsuitable fishing and water pollution”
“For every four pounds
of fish caught, more than one pound of other animals are caught in these nets”
“These include sea
turtles and sharks, which are killed in the nets or thrown overboard to die”
“With shrimp trawlers
the ratio is worse. For every pound of shrimp four pounds of unwanted animals
are caught and discarded”
“Twenty-eight species
of the family salmonid and steelhead trout have now been listed as threatened
or endangered”
“Again habitat loss,
water pollution and the changing of ocean conditions, all have contributed to
their decline”
“Politicians have
ignored recommendations to halt the iconic North Sea Cod fishery year after
year”
“They could be faced
with a terminal decline”
“It is without a ban
that scientists fear the North Sea stocks could follow the Grand Banks Cod of
eastern Canada into terminal decline”

happened in Canada should be a warning, because it has now collapsed and it is
not coming back!”

the lifesaving medicines and the critical supply of food for our world

worldwide rely on fish and shellfish for their main source of protein”
“We need to take more
of a responsibility to maintain the fish in our oceans”
“The studies from the
World Wildlife Fund show a decline in habitats, such as seagrass and mangrove
cover”
“They are an important
source of food and act as a nursery for many of our sea creatures”
“Climate change has
also played a role in the overall decline of marine populations”
“It is making our
oceans more acidic and therefore damaging a number of species”
“If Mankind continues
at the rate he is going to overfish the world’s oceans, they will be barren of
fish in less than 50 years”
“As with all things,
it is Man’s incompetence to manage what is there in order to sustain everybody
needs”
“By his gross
irresponsibility, everybody suffers”

formation of the rampaging wild men of IS”

administration, cheered on by Israel, planned to invade Syria and destroy
Hezbollah in Lebanon”
“Fortunately at that
time the invasion did not occur”
“Some intelligent
people in Washington asked who they would put in power to run Syria. They had
no answer”
“Saudi Arabia created
an alternative solution”
“They brought in
bloodthirsty jihadist fanatics under a variety of different names – the so
called IS”
“These fanatics were
unleashed against Syria and the Assad regime”
“They were trained by
the US, Britain and France in Lebanon and Jordan”
“These fanatics were
financed by Saudi Arabia & United Arab Emirates on the understanding that
they would not come near the Saudi Kingdom”
“US Psychological
Warfare teams fanned the flames of hatred between Sunni and Shia Muslims”
“To divide and conquer
was their method. It had proved valuable in Iraq”
“There has been four
years of war in Syria, which is now reduced to rubble because of everyone
fighting each other”
“There are over 9.5
million Syrian refugees and 6.5 million are internally displaced and homeless”

mostly Syrian refugees are entering into Europe
“They are mostly on
their way to Germany with other countries now closing their borders”

Poland and the Czechs are now declaring they do not want any Muslims in spite
there being some Christian Syrians”
“Unsurprisingly Israel
had invited 600,000 French Jews to come and settle last year after the Charlie
Hebdo situation”
“Now Israel says it
has no room for Arab refugees. The double standards of Israel are there for all
to see””
“To halt this dreadful
human refugee crisis is to stop the western-led war against Syria – today!”
“A stop must be made
in arming and financing these criminal gangs of jihadists”

Britain and the Saudis must cut off the supply of arms and money to the
jihadists and end this Syrian bloodbath”

up with the hypocritical moralizing from the West over these refugees”

warnings of Chirac and de Villepin”
“We are now reaping
what we have sown by allowing our politicians to wreak havoc in the Middle
East”
“Understand that there
were 3.1 million people who were displaced after the Iraq War as a result of
the US invasion”
“In addition there
were 2 million in Afghanistan caused by the Russian and then the US invasion”
“Further add to this
Somalia and Libya, as a result of western military interferences”
“When will power crazy
regimes start to take responsibility for their actions?”
“As always it is the
bully boys who go in, create hell and ask questions later, often without any
exit strategy to their methods”
“The tragedy is that
nobody learns and it is always the innocent people who pay the price with their
lives”
“They pay for the
demands of power crazy politicians – the shame is on all of you!”

investigation”

country”

City”

off and 16 days after Karen disappeared she was abandoned at a bus terminal”

girl, who had been registered as missing in a different State”

play on the innocence of naïve young girls”

understanding of the magnitude of the dangers that await them”

many holes of depression”

re-energise again, as the negative energies run deep into the earth’s soul”

problems are not governed by single countries alone”

international body that is released from the constraints of those who pay
towards it”

controversial leadership contest in recent British political history”

in the first round taking 59.5% of the votes cast”

new members who had joined the party after its crushing election defeat in May
of this year”

bring to politics debates which have been shelved”

Labour Party had felt were too unpopular or too controversial to discuss them”

to tackle David Cameron with an iron fist and he won’t allow the Conservatives
to get away with anything”

Cameron on his toes for the rest of his political leadership”
“Jeremy Corbyn will
make a worthy adversary and he is not a man to mince his words, but will hit
the jugular each time he does not agree”
“He is a caring
character, but can be vitriolic in his remarks of what he sees is right and
where the British public has been let down”
“This new political
agenda will be a wakeup call which Parliament needs”

to get done and no longer be shelved, because it has suited politicians to do
so!”

very good day for democracy!”

the UN and other international bodies to come together and become instruments
for peace”
