There is no need for an initifada
Yesterday there was a suicide bombing in Jerusalem.The civilian police force of Israel in conjunction with the Palestinian authority are investigating the matter after it was condemned by both the Israeli PM and the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister.There is no need for the pointless loss of life that another intifada would bring.

the pacific wave dilemma
the pacific wave dilemma
The tsunami alert was rescinded this morning for New Zealand and Taiwan. BBC News 24 a moment ago had a headline saying that it is going to the entire Pacific region.How are two diverging statements like this reconciled?The tsunami is a wave off the Coast of Japan. Like a mirror this can reflect in a given direction as well as the original east heading wave across the Pacific. As such the wave is picked up on weather and GPS sattellites and can be monitored by weather bouys on uninhabited rock islands on route, learned from the Tsunami of 2004.
This has refined predictions that have been developed from Ice core predictions taken from the Arctic, Russia, Canada and teh Antarctic. the decision to invest in such research has historically been taken by nation states upon the advice of their intelligence agencies and co-ordinating and cooperating bodies. Now input comes from observer status for the International Atomic Agency and the relevant professional bodies that have observer status at the UN.Other research methods that have been used to attempt to predict earthquakes are bouys sent into volcanic magna in the past three decades and thermal imaging satellites.
The UK has not had earthquakes of this magnitude and its nuclear plants are not at risk of explosion.
The question to ask is can nuclear plants be sited in earthquake zones safely and if so can an earthquake cuased radioactive fire be put out as quickly as occurred today.
Also what are the risks of aftershocks in the wider Pacific Rim following an earthquake of the magnitude of 8.9 (the earthquake Richter scale limit)

Praying for the Pacific as theres been an Earthquake near Japan. MSN has given a Tsunami alert and a Uk radio station carried a message that there is a tsunami 10m high. Alert for Australia, Central, South America, New Zealand, and teh Pacific region as of 9am GMT.
Will the Big Socoiety mean that populations from Commonwealth states and Pacific Islands be granted refugee status and citizenship in the EU, particulary those from the islands with low height above sea level?
That is why there needs to be an amnesty on illegal immigrants already here and support for their community and faith (particulary Anglican, ok I'm biased and its the culturally appropriate faith of Britain to quote multiculturalism against and in favour of it) associations. Better that than a return to a nineteenth century underfunded state.
However Australia and New Zealand are nearer and in some cases the legal owners of some of the outlying Islands based on theor historic better linguistic education for the region to their populations.The aid effort is directed by charities with the relevant aid experience under the auspices of the DEC as it is non sectarian and has the relevant experience drawn from aid agencies and charities in the UK. Is it time for this to become a UK federal state agency?
If you read this blog in that area get to land above the tsunami height or onto boats that can withstand that wave. The former is better than the latter unless the type of boat can withstand the wave or there are buildings over the wave heights length that have foundations built on the rock to withstand the wave (legal term appropriate building regulations).

Re the LSE Director quitting
In defence of my dads old bossIf you think that the Lybian funding of Uk higher education is bad, think about it from the following perpespectives:
1) In the nineteenth century when unregulated and funded by the criminal underworld it produced Marx and Hegel and similar systems elsewhere in Europe produced Hitler and the Nazis. Would you want another one like Idi Amin or Pol Pot or Mugabe?
2) The American Ivy League is just as bad and they cross subsidise their countres smaller unis.
3) The Soviets were even worse, look how their methods affected those that implemented them in terms of their health (Kruschev and Andropov who were ruthless in teh ways that they obtained their information)3b) They learnt their methodologies of of the UK in WW2
4) Statutory regulation of university funding and publication of donatiosn has been attempted many times in the past and always vetoed as detrimental to the national interest, why?
5) My best guess is that its because those institutions with the know how use funds from foreign nations to fund courses on them for the fostering of international cultural links and to aid the poor of London to get jobs and skills (eg Birkbeck and Goldsmiths Cert HEs for those who are actually working in the UK economy lawfully as a way into higher education). Plus some of their certificates have important societal uses. To put it crudely. If the LSE has acted as a ammanah slush fund to fund non militant Immans studying and archeaology in North Africa, whats the problem, the methodology was being used concurrently by The Al Queada enemy for their madrassas
5b) My next best guess is that when this found out or the use of uni power by the crown, the Chancellorships and patronships get rotated by differing members of the Royal Family. Hence the need for universities based on regulated submissions to them and external studentships for those who live within the UK.
6) This has been subverted by people, gangs and other states intelligence agencies to send their agents over on student visas. The reason it is tolerated is that has been used to stop things that they all think are evil such as Militant Islam and terrorism. Some of their methods are illegal and the people you report them to are the Met Police counter terrorism and vice squads, their own embassies, the Foreign and Commonwealth office and the Court of St James.7) Having seen how this operated can you blame him for wanting to get it regulated to prevent vile manipulations of the financial systems against small states and the unsustainability of intelligence agencies and some of their methods.

Why the Bank governor is rightWhen banks are too big to fail they are bailed out by the state and unsustainable investments continue as occurred in Soviet Russia. This is what did for the Uk economy in the late 1960s-70s with uncontrolled inflation when others in Western Europe were building their economic recoveries on the basis of sustained post war reconstruction.Hence proper regulation is required especially with credit. Froman economic intelligence perspective small states can set up companies, lawfully invest and use loans for a time and then collapse another economy using unregulated stock exchanges. Hence is there a need for an EU wide Companies House style regulation of Company directors?
This is needed to protect those who invest in their companies similarly to savers and to prevent the next recession wiping out the banking system. The method of that was credit card borrowing by said states faith and community individuals on the basis of recommendations from their groups and to undermine the way teh UK state operates. Hence lower credit card limits and mortgage borrowing as income percentages are needed to be kept in order to prevent inflation and allow for controlled economic advice bankruptcies.
Debt relief orders are needed to be kept for those who are elderly and disabled and on state benefits with better financial advice for them so as to stop them investing in bad business models or unsustainbly large big society projects that don't factor in the potential of a slower repayment of the bank bailout debts owing to the situation in North Africa and any humanitarian aid required to stop Gaddaffi starving his population. Hence any seized assets under the UN sanctions resolution should be spent on humanitarian aid now.
