Government Set to Deny Parliament a Vote on WHO Pandemic Treaty Fri May 17, 2024 07:00 | Ben Kingsley and Molly Kingsley
"Surely Parliament will get the chance to vote on the WHO Pandemic Treaty," has been a common refrain. Not according to the Government, which repeatedly refused to assure MPs they would get a say on the binding agreement.

Don't be fooled by bills of rights, warns Law Professor James Allan. They failed to stop lockdowns (everywhere) and are just tools of Leftist judicial activism.

Debunking the Cheap Renewables Myth Thu May 16, 2024 15:44 | David Turver
Renewables are not cheap and are never going to be, says David Turver. With over £12 billion being paid in subsidies to or because of renewables each year, the claim that renewable will save us money is a myth.

Nothing new with Dylan. Here are two things I wrote on the wannabe radical.
1994, Jan 22nd: Bob Dylan allows the Times They Are A Changing to be used in an advertisement for a firm of New York accountants. Surprisingly enough, he has been accused of selling out in allowing this appropriation or misappropriation of the 1960s anti-establishment anthem. The times they are indeed a changing, so why should Robert Zimmerman be obliged to remain the same. The move will be a welcome salvo to those who would contend that ideology is at an end. It is a pity though, to see the betrayal of an ideal, even if it was only openly identifying itself with loose and vague notions of social justice. What can be said? The symbolism is more powerful than any possible comment: all rhetorical aces have been trumped in this particular joust.
[That text is unchanged, but I certainly don't share the Fukyama - more in the spirit of C. Wright Mills.]
2004, December, 16th: Lisa Marie Presley sells her father Elvis’ estate to Robert Zimmerman (Bob Dylan) for $100m.
[that one's about bad taste as much as too much money].
Brendan,
Troll yes, bait yes but it sure is fun calling the fuckstain what he is. A fuckstain....
Thanks, I feel better now so no more of the Troll.
Lads hes just trolling dont go for the bate.
BrendanH said: Starbucks is also notorious for great coffee, good service and nice clean stores. The sooner they get them opened here in the Republic the better. We can all get a decent cappucino and some music too.
Wasn't it Starbucks that charged the firefighters for water on 9/11 that was needed to help the victims? Another multinational company trying to make a profit out of a disaster!
Its easy to see without looking too far that nothing much is really sacred. bum bum bm bm bm.
Brendan,
Yeah and Shannon Airport is well known for friendly service to US military flying to slaugher Iraqis in a brutal, immoral and racist war fought for Oil Corporation profits. Oh yeah and with the recently revealed Downing St Memos, based upon a lie.
I can assume that Brendan does not support Unions and likes Bush and the war. Probably living in Rathfarnham and "grooving out" on U2 albums......

Bob Dylan is simply the American answer to Bone-Head of U2 and "Sir" Bob Geldoff.
All feeding at the troughs of the corporate music empire and willing to sell out for an album.
Fuck em all.
In retrospect, Bob Dylan is typical of many of the white, middle-class "counter-culture" here in the US. All talk, no action.
To quote Emmett Grogan from his book "Ringilivio, A Life Played For Keeps" the hippies were middle-class twits who came to San Francisco to play and have an adventure in poverty in their love ghettos. Once they were done, they scaled the walls, climbed back to suburbia and became stockbrokers.
Exhibit A. The Anti-War Movement squeaking like frightened mice around John Kerry.
Bob Dylan is simply a logical extention of that political genre.
The answer my friends is a flowing in a Starbucks, the answer is a flowing in my coffee......
