ON THE RELEASE OF THE 15 BRITISH SAILORS BY IRAN

Well, at least they're coming home.

Having risked danger and death so that the well-fed politicians and bemedalled mass-murderers in our armed forces can have their bit of fun, Faye Turney and her comrades shall be given a hero's welcome when they touch down at Heathrow, while Tony and his cronies lick the wounds the Iranian people have inflicted upon them.

For indeed it is the Iranian people who are the (deserved) victors in this little tour de farce. Despite their (supposed) hostility to People of the Book, the Islamic "hardliners" have released the hostages " as a gesture of goodwill to the British people".

Ahmadinajab's actions are both laudable and desirable, not only because if they do nothing else they show the tail (Margaret Beckett, although she is usually quite a tractable poodle) wagging the dog (Rotweiler Rice), but because they serve to drive a much-needed wedge between parliament and people in Britain. More and more people have become disillusioned with the supposedly "democratic" nature of parliamentary government. Young people, in particular, find the whole subject of politics both boring and irrelevant to their daily lives. This situation can be exploited by the left, despite its current disunity, and the embryo of a socialist revolutionary party with Christian overtones can be brought into being (Rev. 17, 18, 21).
