Rights is an interesting subject that has not really been touched on. Right to move around without restrictions by governments/ states has changed over time. In Europe it was not until period leading up to WW1 that more restrictions to movement were brought in ie passports. So from your post...

Aye, nearly posted similiar, but the circumstances and conditions are really not appropriate. The aftermath of a vicious 'fight to the death worldwide conflict' and the arrival of thousands of young men who ( and I expect some stick here) would be better employed in defending their homes...

what's your view of almos?

A place to live is one of the most basic of human needs, next to taking food that is. Unfortunately, housing has now become a source of income for those who can afford to ‘buy to let’ or ‘buy to sit’ (buy and then leave empty). Using housing as a way to make money has meant that rents and house...

The New York Times February 24, 1991, Sunday, Late Edition - Final POP VIEW; Caution: Now Entering The War Zone BYLINE: By Jon Pareles SECTION: Section 2; Page 25; Column 1; Arts & Leisure Desk LENGTH: 1232 words You've seen the timeworn 1960's image: Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock in 1969...

Yep. Most of them are aware of the political and social ramifications of what they do, and how it might affect the path of their stuggle. In the old sense of the word, they are - they may be from different points of the compass but all want to secure a caliphate - a nation - over Islam. They...

Don't know if I can face the whole book to be honest (What's the opposite of compassion fatigue?) Have found this article summarising his findings though .. Myth Busting: Robert Pape on ISIS, suicide terrorism, and U.S. Foreign Policy Is it true that his research leads to him giving them...

...Nusra. No to the USA and no to Russia. No to Teheran and no to Riyad, no to Doha, no to Istanbul. Yes to the people in struggle for democracy, social justice and equality. This is our political compass. " But is there any chance do you think of what he calls for actually happening? Please...

I think you've hit the nail on the head here. All the baggage about left wing or right wing dogma, to me is an impediment. What one needs to do, is acting in accordance with the circumstances in front of one. I think it's often the case that liberal attitudes are not based on kindness or...

Explain to me how the survival of the current government benefits Russia in any major way ? The united states supported various regimes across Latin America because the USA sought to physically, politically, economically and militarily dominate that entire hemisphere . If you're arguing Russia...

Keith Hart just posted this on FB After the Paris attacks. A letter to my daughter, Lou Hart. Sophie and Constance are shaken, S more moved by all the calls from kin and friends, poring over images of the carnage, but also thinking of what it means to be gunned down in a bar, asking why people...

Teenagers may have allegiances that chop and change. Grown-ups generally don't, but many adults don't have strong party allegiances at all. Back in the days when almost everyone in Britain who voted did so for one or other of the two main parties, the level of allegiance was higher. Perhaps...

I liked your 'rant'. I find it impossible to feel any compassion whatsoever for anybody who votes Vermin. I can't switch over from the Manchester protest to suddenly showing some heart for somebody who has voted in a party that does not give a screw about anybody other than lining the pockets of...

Corbyn getting the job has got me picking up the Evening Standard again looking for slurs... In todays there was a double page spread on him, written in what appears to be a fun, puff piece style, but its definitely a soft slur piece It starts with the assertion the JC didnt got to the rugby...

Excellent letter in the G, likening all this to 1834 Poor Laws.

Yeah, wasn't really intending to say that people should be deprived of anything - we all like different things and the BBC does try to deliver across the board to a varied audience. More that given the sheer number of digital/radio channels (and online) they've amassed in the last ten years...

Radio 4 extra is largely archive stuff isn't it? Probably doesn't really cost them anything. There are obviously things I'd happily get rid of, the entire daytime schedule for example, but just because I don't watch it doesn't mean nobody else should get to. I'm sure there are at least as many...

I haven't read all of this thread, so excuse me if my points have already been mentioned. I think that throughout the ages, people have fought for their rights against authoritarianism, unfair exploitation, etc etc, but we live in un-precedented times where these things are happening on a global...

Nah, they bollocksed it up more than that. And it was hardly great to start with.
