The Day of the Toothpicks
Thursday, 7 September 2006 11:03 A GMT+01
7 inconsequential ministers resign from Mr. Blair's government in order to force his hand to tell us when he is leaving the job of Prime Minister, it is possible they have been put up to it by the Chancellor of the Executor - who knows?

The raid on Peking, London
Saturday, 2 September 2006 8:04 P GMT+01
The raid on a Chinese restaurant in London shows how this war on terror is impacting seriously on our way of life.
Alas! Pluto. Thou hast been diminished amongst thy peers
Friday, 25 August 2006 9:06 P GMT+01
Was Gustav Holst right when he wrote The Planets or are the Astronomers wrong in demoting Pluto?
The terminal decline of air travel
Friday, 25 August 2006 8:33 P GMT+01
With all the scares and diversions, air travel is becoming too much of an inconvenience we might as well not bother travelling to save the earth.
London police in an institutionally culpable homicide
Thursday, 24 August 2006 8:52 A GMT+01
A 22-year old father gets shot by the 14-year old for standing up to their anti-social behaviour in a crime that could have been avoided had the police investigated and prosecuted the stabbing of the same father 7 months before.
To London to see the Queen
Wednesday, 23 August 2006 12:02 P GMT+01
A 6-night stay in London was OK, but not all that exciting.
Is this London?
Thursday, 17 August 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
I return to London after 6 years and realise that there is still a lot London can learn from counterpart cities like Paris and Berlin - good, intelligent, readable sign-posting for proximity locations.
Was that the Real Story?
Tuesday, 15 August 2006 12:56 P GMT+01
The Real Story episode about second-hand computers and identity theft might have informed but failed to really educate on the need to protect ones privacy. Apart from witnessing the assault of an already pliant suspect.
Aspirant elimination depicts murderous democracy
Tuesday, 15 August 2006 11:00 A GMT+01
Another ruling party aspirant killing and a riot to clean things up as we prepare for the 2007 Elections in Nigeria. What gives?
The American-Israeli tinderbox that Hezbollah lit up
Tuesday, 15 August 2006 2:25 A GMT+01
If America was already privy to Israeli plans to attack Lebanon long before the kidnap of the 2 soldiers in Israel on July the 12th, the whole truth of this matter does not augur well for the new world order at all.
Not leaving on a jet plane soon
Sunday, 13 August 2006 12:17 P GMT+01
The number of planned terror attacks have been foiled, we are told, with that comes greater paranoia from the United States than the terrorists themselves could have intended. It you as much as have any liq
Scotland Yard in Nigerian murder backyard
Tuesday, 1 August 2006 3:34 A GMT+01
The Scotland Yard has been invited to help the Nigerian Police in investigating and resolving the latest political murder - we do hope they get all the cooperation they require and something lasting comes of it.
A protagonist is a proponent in my book
Sunday, 30 July 2006 8:33 P GMT+01
A comment about the usage of protagonists in an old blog has me doing some research and trying to avoid being nasty. I think I managed both nicely. What do you think?
Evidence of good medical research
Tuesday, 25 July 2006 7:02 P GMT+01
That testtube baby is 28 today - that was research done in Europe for the benefit of all - hopefully, America and see through the emotion of stem cell research just as Europe did yesterday.
The land of the matter - The Middle-East Cauldron
Saturday, 22 July 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
I provide a framework of how the Balfour Declaration of 1917 promised one thing and offered another leading to the many conflicts that have plagued Israel throughout the last century till today.
Attempting to stem the tide of science with one veto
Thursday, 20 July 2006 12:40 P GMT+01
The Presidential veto against federal funding of stem cell research shows how emotive subjects can be hijacked with political aplomp regardless of the scientific benefits. Thankfully, science would progress regardless.
Peace eludes our time with appeasement
Monday, 17 July 2006 8:28 P GMT+01
Evacuating foreign citizens of influential countries from Lebanon is the best tacit appeasement that would help the troubles escalate beyond manageable proportions. I fear for when those Israeli rockets land inadvertently in Iran and Syria.
Marie Fatayi-Williams - A mother for peace
Friday, 7 July 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
One solemn voice that encompasses the emotion and magnitude of the day - a mother indeed.
London - this day
Friday, 7 July 2006 4:40 P GMT+01
One year on after the terrorist attack that killed 52 and 4 terrorists in London, we should also be tough on the causes of terrorism and that is more difficult than the simple war on terror.
A Shuffle unworthy of a black jack table
Thursday, 22 June 2006 4:13 P GMT+01
The recent cabinet reshuffle in Nigeria leaves one wonder about its significance for the elections in 2007.
Making an ass of the law
Wednesday, 21 June 2006 7:21 A GMT+01
Having to contend with the notion that the law is an ass is one thing, but when people who should know better deliberately advocate making an ass of the law for some sort of gain, one really should be concerned, very concerned.
Arise! Sir easy
Saturday, 17 June 2006 11:37 P GMT+01
The Chairman of easyGroup of companies is knighted in the Queen's birthday honours list- I suppose a new business can come out of this accolade - easyHonours?
Morphing into Texan Bambi
Friday, 2 June 2006 11:06 A GMT+01
After the contriteness of Mr Bush last week, the changes that fits into the whole scheme of things could be the birth of a more humane presidency, not a lame duck valedictory.
The Coalition of the Unviable
Tuesday, 2 May 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
The release of the Failed States Index of 2006 has the United States squarely in the centre of the trouble in 3 of the 10 Top though they come in at 128. More could be read to the figures with another thorough analysis.
God Save the Queen - Long live the Queen
Friday, 21 April 2006 12:24 A GMT+01
Elizabeth II turns 80 today, I speak up for the monarchy, not so forcefully but sentimentally as it is our anchor to history, heritage, culture and belonging. I rejoice with our Queen at 80.
