Calling Ministers to Account, or Trying To

So I've written to my MP Henry Bellingham, who recently lost his job as a Foreign Office minister, asking him to kindly table these two written questions.

(LONDON) - Here's an easy test of our much vaunted western democracy...

You know, the kind we want to impose on everyone else, especially those nasty uncivilised regimes in the Middle East that go around attacking other nations instead of quietly minding their own business like the US and Britain.

The Shame of our Brainwashed MPs

"Sorry, there is no debate. Your one-sided bias is clearly blurring your ability to see this issue fairly." - Rude Boy

(LONDON) - Agent Cameron's now infamous dinner speech to Jewish fund-raisers, in which he pledged the British people's support for the state of Israel and its criminal regime, drew many complaints.

British `Channel 4` labeled `highly irresponsible` for `Big Fat Gypsy Weddings`

Television was a powerful medium and it could have been used in a more positive and educative way voicing European Roma apartheid.

(RENO, NV) - Hindus have blamed “Channel 4” of United Kingdom for acting highly irresponsibly in its smash hit documentary series “Big Fat Gypsy Weddings”.

Forget Renewables, We Need Cheap Oil - An Interview with Gail Tverberg

We are right now experiencing adverse financial impacts from high oil prices, but these impacts are being disguised by artificially low interest rates and huge amounts of deficit spending.

(LONDON OilPrices.com) - What does our world's energy future look like? Does renewable energy feature as much in the energy production mix as many hope it will?

Squatting Law Criminalises the Homeless to Protect the Rich

The criminalisation of squatting is aimed at protecting profits, not people, argues Vivyan Raoul.

(LONDON) - So, they've finally done it. They finally criminalised squatting. On Saturday, it became a criminal offence, with it a penalty of up to six months in jail or a £5000 fine, to trespass in a residential property, under section 144 of Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO).

Successive governments have made overtures, initiated clumsy attempts, but all have stopped short of actually criminalising the homeless.

EU Bites the Hand that Feeds It: Gazprom Will Bite Back

The EU has tried numerous tactics to loosen the Gazprom grip...

(LONDON OilPrices.com) - Gazprom has Europe's natural gas market in a stranglehold and Europe is attempting to fight back, first with a raid last year on the Russian giant's offices and then with a probe launched earlier this week against its allegedly illicit efforts to control the EU's natural gas supplies.

The bottom line is that the same natural gas revolution in the US, which was enabled by hydraulic fracturing (fracking), is now threatening the EU.
