It was a long time coming but we should have then had time to see it coming - Russia flexing it's military muscle. For the past 4 years Russia has had to stand by and be largely ignored by the West in terms of global politics. Still psychologically scarred from the loss of the Soviet Union and the communist Empire of the Eastern Bloc countries, Russia has been adrift. We are talking of course about the war between Russia and Georgia for South Ossetia. Russia acted like a 19th Century... Read Full Story
Heath Ledger or Jack Nicholson's Joker in the newest Batman Movie? Hmmm - well i saw batman last night. Enjoyable but about half hour too long , they flogged the introspective side a little too often. As for Heath (RIP) I thought he put in a fairly good performance - drew pretty heavily on the characterisation of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice character but most folks wouldn't click on that score - he also borrowed the scary heavy transsexual vocal from the sicko in Silence of the lambs who...

Dingo Deans looked assured, as assured as the Wallabies. With a huge player exodus to Europe combined with a coaching trio that seem to have lost their way - maybe not enough time coaching the ELVs compared to deans with the crusaders this evening - well I'm sorry but I have never seen an All Black side lose by such a margin and seem to be played off their feet. It is a travesty that the NZRFU will not allow ALL BLACK STARS like Hayman, Mauger, Holah to be picked from overseas in the way... Read Full Story
So President Mbeki of South Africa feels that the Republic should not condemn the sham election of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe? What appalling double standards. Imagine if Britain or the USA had adopted such a stance during the years of Apartheid in South Africa on the grounds that it was up to the citizens of that country to make their own decision? The similarities are obvious in terms of the intimidation of political opponents and the isolation that such a continuation of Mugabe’s evil... Read Full Story
He confuses Pakistan with Afghanistan. He stumbles over long words and concepts more complicated than ABC. He continued reading a children's story to a nursery school class even when he realised the second World Trade Center Tower had been attacked. He announced the Iraq war was over in 2003 - its now more dangerous than ever. And today President George W. Bush wished Iraq would have a nice day on the anniversary of the 2003 invasion. He said that Iraq was safer, that at least Saddam... Read Full Story
London elects it's Mayor soon but for most people it appears to be the usual two horse race. On the one hand we have the incumbant Red Ken Livingston with his thinly disguised socialist - communist hidden agenda. On the other, we have the privileged toff Boris Johnson; Eton educated and never having wanted for anything it appears - the fact that this bumbling chap is even in public life after his gaffes and insults to working class people is evidence enough that the English class...

Well my friends are nearly home - just a few more days and they are free of the dust and the death. It's been a hell of a time in Helmand. They've tried to do their best to help the people there, but the big problem seems to be the production of poppies which accounts for 95% of Europe's Heroin stocks. If they burn the crops then they push the ordinary Afghan farmers into the arms of the Taliban. The irony is that one aspect of the Taliban's hideous rule before they were forced from...

The news that England rugby star Jonny Wilkinson's been dropped while the other 14 England players have avoided the chop is incredible. The poor display was a team problem in the defeat to the Scots. Coach Brian Ashton has no where to go; he should have introduced Danny Cipriani before the Wales game. Ashton's not been true to his word at all; he's been unprepared to walk the walk in his selection policy. Now he expects Cipriani to walz in as a spark replacing Wilkinson, a week after he...

The latest damnable indictment on the state of the British people came this week with Doctors saying that women are now the biggest binge drinkers. It's a sight we are all too familiar with in towns across England especially - young women, teens many of them between the ages of 17 - 25 throwing up due to excessive alcohol use, staggering from lamppost to gutter and urinating within sight of clusters of drunken young men downing alco-pops and cans of cheap supermarket lager. Some beers are as... Read Full Story
How is it that the richest rugby nation on earth, with the greatest number of players, has to rely on foreign imports? What a pathetic disgrace to the game and nationhood. I cannot fathom the mentality that allows England's Rugby Football Union the expediency to just fast track players into the national team. Lesley Vainikolo (of Tongan blood and a Rugby League International for New Zealand), is as English, as a Welshman is a Scot. Come on! Just because the man lived in England for... Read Full Story
