BBC1 BREAKFAST TODAY
Bill Turnbull and Louise Minchin
6.00am to 9.15am.
J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Factfile
Monday August 18
BBC1 Breakfast Bill Turnbull talks to David Cameron PM.
Subject: The Present Global Disaster Zones.
Subject Direction:
Present global
problems are beyond any sort of true life, with people dying in horrific
circumstances every second, terrified in traumer.
Bill Turnbull
questions David Cameron as to what he intends to do about the present horrrific
state of global affairs along these lines:
DC: “ Bearing in mind the General
Election is 9 months away. “
DC: "Packet of measures?
DC: "Family problems?
DC: "The female of the species? Gender gap wages.
BT asks Cameron "What exactly are you doing and intending to do in Iraq? "
Turnbull "Parliament must be recalled. "
What would have happened if David
Cameron had taken over John Gosden’s job
over the last 14 days? And visa versa what would have happened if John Gosden
had taken over David Cameron’s job over the last 14 days?.
David Cameron, what would Kingman have made of
Cameron in the saddle? During the last 14 days leading up to his race at
Deauville on Sunday? The mind boggles. To ride out a racehorses in training
soon separate’s the wheat from the chaff. Kingman would have soon sorted Cameron out,
and rid himself from that sort of abuse, fast.
John Gosden, how would he have got on
taking over Cameron’s job over the last 14 days . Gosden’s thought zone mindset
accuracy spot on, would be able to cope with all the daily home and global problems
in a totally different way. In a true humanitarian way.
DAVID CAMERON’S ‘LIP SERVICE’ GOVERNMENT EXPLAINED
Lip Service, just uttering words, not
living these words.
Words used by David Cameron PM to mislead and
deceive. To make quick false promises that will never be carried out in the
right way. Lip service that will never
light that fire in the hearts of the people. John Gosden’s words light the fire
in William Buick’s heart. Jonjo O’Neall’s words light the fire in Tony McCoy’s heart. Sir Michael Stoute’s words light the
fire in Ryan Moore’s heart. Aidan O’Brien’s words light the fire in his son
Joseph’s heart.
Joseph O’Brien’s
words and actions light the fire in Australia’s heart.

TABLET The International Catholic Weekly Founded in 1840.
16 August 2014
"HESITATION
IN THE FACE OF EVIL."
“There
has been widespread criticism, entirely justified, of the British Government’s
timid and complacent response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Northern
Iraq. This is not to question the bravery of RAF air crew flying missions to
drop supplies to the tens of thousands of Yazidi refugees trapped on a mountain
and surrounded by fanatical Islamists fighting under the sinister black banner
of Islamic State (IS, formerly known as Isis) But British efforts fall so far
short of what is needed that the operation looks more like a public relations
exercise than anything else, or as military expert put it “gesture politics” .
“By far
the greater part of the international relief effort is being undertaken by the
United States, though that too is inadequate. There is vague talk in Washington
of a rescue mission involving both helicopters and military personnel on the
ground. But official thinking in both America and Great Britain seems allergic
to anything that sounds like real engagement. There is no strategic thinking.
This lack of seriousness is alarming.
“The
west’s moral and legal duty is plain. After the international community failed
to prevent the mass murders in Rwanda and Srebrenica, and in the light of the successful
Kosovo intervention, the United Nations adopted the principle called Responsibility to Protect
which now has the status of international law. This declares that every state
has a duty to defend its population from genocide, war crimes, crimes against
humanity and ethnic cleansing; that the international community has a
responsibility to assist the state to fulfil its primary responsibility; and
that if a state manifestly fails to do so, the international community has the
responsibility to act, with military intervention as a last resort.
“In
this case the Iraq Government has not failed out of ill will but because it has
been overwhelmed by the military threat from IS, though the partisan and Anti
Sunni policies pursued by the Maliki Government did help to set the scene. For
the tens of thousands of refugees, the “last resort” of outside military
intervention is their one hope of survival. Given that IS’ intentions span all
four of the categories mentioned by the Responsibility to Protect, from
genoside to ethnic cleansing, the world has an undoubted obligation to see it
is stopped. That is bound to entail rather more than a few American air strikes
here and there against IS’ heavy weapons. The British have declined even to
participate in that, and committed only transport and reconnaissance aircraft..
“The
systematic application of Western – including British – airpower now seems
inescapable, whether or not the immediate refugee crisis finds a solution. Even
the Vatican, which almost never approves of military action, has said so. Thus
when Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster tells the British Government, as
he did last week, that Iraq needs a “sustained focus on creating a more stable
society based on respect for fundamental human rights”, that could well involve
confronting, by all necessary means, IS’ evil campaign to wipe out every section
of Iraq society it disapproves of, whether moderate Sunni, Christians, Shia or
Yazidi. Pope Francis, in his moving plea for intervention sent the United
Nations secretary General this week, invokes international law, implying that
military action in such a case as this would have legal and moral sanction.
“If the
Government thinks it needs a democratic mandate first, then Parliament should be
recalled immediately. But compliance with international law does not need
parliamentary approval. The real problem is the lack of political will,
particularly as both the British and American Government have their eye on
their forthcoming elections and both administrations believe that public
opinion would not tolerate further military interventions overseas. That may
not be true much longer. The polls are fluid: people do not like reckless
foreign adventure. But nor do they like cowardice in the face of evil. “
His only previous trip to the Middle East had to be cut short after the outbreak of one of its worst crises — the 1973 Yom Kippur War that pitted Israel ...
POPE FRANCIS
“Religious freedom is in fact a fundamental human right
and I cannot fail to express my hope that it will be upheld throughout the
Middle East and the entire world,” he said after being greeted by King
Abdullah, his wife Queen Rania, and the couple’s children. “Christians consider
themselves, and indeed are, full citizens, and as such they seek, together with
their Muslim fellow citizens, to make their own particular contribution to the
society in which they live.”
