With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?


As I'm sure the attentive amongst you will already know I have some serious concerns regarding the shite that is going on between Israel & Lebanon
Whilst surfing this week I have come across dozens of articles on this situation. None however have made as much of an impact as this one from Lammy's site
What Lammy has is a first hand account from someone currently living under the Israeli bombardment. To be wholly innocent of any "crime" yet still have to live under this threat in this day and age is an outrage.
What makes things even worse for me as a concerned citizen of the world is the complicity of my government in this slaughter. The UK have assisted the US in arming the Israelis by allowing weapon delivery flights to refuel at UK airports. I'm sorry but for me this takes the often touted "special relationship" to an unacceptable level.
But hold on a minute...it appears that the former drunk president has apologised for not following proper procedures with these flights
Oh well, that's ok then.
And as for the comments from Lapdog Tony's official spokesman that this "apology" was a "very gracious thing to do" don't make me fucking laugh.
