Apart from Melanie Phillips, obviously, that Polly Toynbee article is the most deluded, ill-informed gobbledegook I’ve ever had the misfortune to waste 5 minutes of my life reading. It doesn’t even make sense in its own terms, never mind chime with the outside world.
Thanks for the link.
I find it astonishing that not one country has managed to contribute a single helicopter to the UN’s Peacekeeping force for Darfur. Hence the petition .
Other actions are planned as I feel that we must pressure our governments to act to try to end the rapes and massacres.
Reactions: Twitter, blogs
