"British National Party leader Nick Griffin was racially abused by a man who made threatening "gun gestures" towards him, a court heard today. The North West MEP was giving evidence in the trial of 23-year-old Tauriq Khalid, from Burnley, who is accused of shouting "white bastards" towards Griffin and other BNP members who were demonstrating in the Lancashire town. As ...
The body of a third British hostage in Iraq was today delivered to Iraqi officials in an apparent step closer to freedom for the only one of five kidnapped Britons now thought to be alive, the computer programmer Peter Moore. The Iraqi army and a security company retained by the British embassy received the remains around midday. The body is believed to be ...

"September 3, 1939: Neil Tweedie describes a dreamlike Sunday when the immaculately dressed diplomats of Europe put the finishing touches to a global catastrophe. "In the 1936 film version of the H G Wells novel The Shape of Things to Come the arrival of war is swift and terrible. Barely has it begun before enemy bombers arrive, raining certain death from ...
"The Second World War was a monstrous planet-wide catastrophe on which the British tend to look back through Union Jack-tinted spectacles. And yet, says Adrian Hamilton, there was honour among the horror, and deeds of nobililty and courage as well as atrocious cruelty." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/ was-t......

However, it has to be said that trying to stop a single European power dominating the land mass of Europe is a policy that can be traced right back to Elizabeth I if not earlier. In that respect it was business as usual. Indeed, it seems that the desire to avoid domination by a continental neighbour (a folk memory of 1066 perhaps) actually ...
Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Deutsche Bank AG Chief Executive Officer Josef Ackermann said Germany has a comparative advantage over other financial hubs because it doesnt plan to tax bonuses like Britain and France. To strengthen the financial hub of Germany I think is a very wise move, Ackermann said in an interview in Berlin late yesterday. Ackermann and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said two days ago that German financial...
It's time for another update! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/678... The former Conservative MP, who defected to Labour when Gordon Brown became Prime Minister two years ago, sought to withdraw the claim five months later at the height of the Daily Telegraphs disclosures about widespread abuse of Commons allowances. When he submitted the £20,700 bill for repairs to the bell tower and lead gutter at the property...
with ties to Mandleson. Oh well, a seat in Parliament as long as he shuts his mouth, so be it. To the Party hack who loses to him, oh well, there is always another seat.
Quote from PM--"he has lost the art of communication but not, alas, the gift of speech" (referring to David Cameron) Seems like that quote can be used to describe him, expcept that he's lost both "gifts".
Edited on Thu Dec-03-09 05:45 PM by fedsron2us as I was not trying to create any 'argument' at all except pointing out the fact that judging a song of the 1840s in the hindsight of how it was used a century later is as singularly pointless as picking the Derby winner a decade after the race. British fascists could make just as good a job with Land Of Hope and Glory but that does not mean Elgar and A C Benson were Nazis. Indeed. if...
1307 Here it comes. Bankers' bonuses over £25,000 will be subject to a one-off 50% tax. The individual will not pay, their employer will - all bonuses over £25,000 will be pooled and then taxed en masse. Therefore, the chancellor says, banks can use their profits to build up their capital base, or, if they use it for bonuses, they will have to give a large sum back to the taxpayer. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8403127.stm He...
