the world really has gone fucking mad when i am able to, mostly, agree with a man who has a special place in my book of most-hated politicians; douglas hurd, one of thatcher's most illiberal hatchet-men, has given all the right reasons for bliar to leave his post : it is time for tony bliar to leave no. 10.



the very important point on which i disagree with him is his contention that israel is using "self-defence" in its maltreatment of the palestinians. this is simply a lie: israel is an invading force in palestine;.the palestinians are fighting the invading army, as i would if some other country's army marched into wales in order to subjugate its people.
