This is a really disgusting story of the way the Corporate Iintelligence Services (CIA, MI6, Mossad, whatever, they're all the same agency with front offices in respective countries) used the totalitarian dictatorship of Uzbekistan to torture so-called 'western terror suspects' and acted upon the findings. I mean, come on, arrest some fucking WAR CRIMINALS already. According to Craig Murray, the rector...

For some reason today I woke up and thought: "I have to plan what to do this Christmas". I know it's a long way ahead but it's better to plan and change plans than not to plan at all. Last year it was the first Christmas that I had to spend without my mom - so sad!! It was just a month after she died and Christmas was her favourite celebration - she always planed long time in advance and...

With Labour Scottish Conference in Dundee this week, I felt it's about time to write something that's been on my mind for a while. It just seems that under our current party structure, we will always underperform in Scottish elections. This isn't a multi-layered argument. It's simply pinned on one point. The leader of the SNP will always portray him or herself as the leader of a party and potentially...
