Torture allegations and UK-US relations 6:21pm on 04 Feb 2009 Israel does the 'dirty work' for the USA and the USA does the 'dirty work' for us it seems? Go Figure?
Torture allegations and UK-US relations 6:05pm on 04 Feb 2009 Nick, Please research that Mark Steyn who is a disgrace to the British accent is this minute on Fox Talk Radio in place of Rush Limbaugh supporting torture and the sale of 'Club Gitmo' Tee Shirts on Rush's website and also talks of red hot pokers being a useful tool. I believe Mark was brought up in Birmingham but might be Canadian by parentage but sounds very British which disgusts me to the core. Google 'patrick lockyer' to see my own rants and support of your brave questioning of Bush that time.
The risk of expectation 3:23pm on 22 Oct 2008 As a Brit in Jax FL it was fun to be an extra in the movie 'Recount'. They built the Supreme Court in a Hangar at Cecil Field which was a military airfield once and was the object of a Jax referendum that denied the return of the military to said base. I had once been an extra in a spoof advert for diet coke with Pierce Brosnan at Nene Railway Peterborough, a steam railway used in many movies. The pay was better in England. I had a good lunch with supreme court judge actor Ginsberg in Jax. She looked just like her and lived in Miami and was paid well. She had no lines. I was a court reporter and stood behind Ed Begley who I spoke to. Kevin Spacey was right there also and said not one word in the scene which was repeated twelve times. I am a writer and I am opposed to the leadership here. I remember watching the OJ trial for months in England and being deeply disappointed in the result. I think that many would be disappointed in Obama losing and also McCain. Fox radio hosts are sweating and having palpitations about Obama winning. Palin will not even address a possible failure. She prayed to become Mayor and prayed to become Governor and thinks she has the winning vote/prayer. Palin is sheltered from the news so she will not get depressed. What kind of leader has to be kept with 'head in the sand' rather than insisting on having 'ear to the ground'?
Colin Powell drops a grenade 7:42pm on 20 Oct 2008 Gavin, have you heard Limbaugh on talk radio? Fox news right wing host? He stated this morning when talking of Joe the Plumber that Obama probably did not know how to un block a toilet to which his side kick 'Snerdly' stated and Limbaugh repeated it, "if he even uses one'. How disgusting can right wing radio get?
The great outdoors 7:40pm on 20 Oct 2008 Matthew, have you heard Limbaugh on talk radio? Fox news right wing host? He stated this morning when talking of Joe the Plumber that Obama probably did not know how to un block a toilet to which his side kick 'Snerdly' stated and Limbaugh repeated it, "if he even uses one'. How disgusting can right wing radio get?
Hagel questions Palin's experience 3:24pm on 19 Sep 2008 As a Brit in sunny Florida I listen to right wing radio and weep. They state today that they would prefer to vote for a guy who says he will be the Commander in chief on day one rather than one who states that he is a World Citizen. We are a global community and the world have just bailed out the USA financially. But still the 'righties' think that isolationism is the route to go. I write for Times-Union Jacksonville Fl and American Chronicle. Google 'patrick lockyer' to se my rants on the US foreign policy.
Lotta sense on Palin 12:59pm on 16 Sep 2008 "Frankly, I doubt Obama-Biden or McCain-Palin have what it takes to get us out of the mess we are in, but lacking a viable alternative I prefer the articulate and inspirational visionary to the stale commodity, even if the latter has a helper with telescopic vision."

Just not wasting so much on militaristic matters will go a long way to helping the economy?
Lotta sense on Palin 12:56pm on 16 Sep 2008 Bush is keen to get Bin Laden before leaving office. He thinks of Pakistan, we pay you we own you. No wonder Pakistani's love America? When Obama stated we might have to get them over the heads of Pakistan he was ridiculed. it is however dangerous and getting one man is not winning the war on terror. Nor are we safe. They have patience. They produce stress disorders. They still win. Might will not win this. Finding how to reduce hatred might?
Going, going but has he gone? 12:42pm on 16 Sep 2008 Nick, a bit of subject but could you please list some tough questions for Sarah Palin to be asked. As a Brit writer for Times-Union and American Chronicle it frustrates the hell out of me that no one knows what to ask her? This is a lady who smilingly tells Charlie Gibson that we should let Georgia join NATO and have a war with Russia over them? Like we wnated Cuban missiles and a force field for them in the JFK era? She also states that Iraq is/was a 'task from God'. She also believes you can pray away homosexual leanings?
