With South Sudan now gaining independence today with the issue of some territory now to be decided peacefully as part of a negotiated settlement by those actually living there, is that the best way for Israel and Palestine to ratify their borders by referendum after negotiation mediated by the quartet?

time to stop a middle east arms race, NOW

The US secretary of state Hilary Clinton has claimed that there is substantial links between Iran funding the Syrian regime. In order to prevent regional arms race in the middle east with nukes for Saudi and more for Israel, could this matter go to the United Nations? Otherwise other states elsewhere in the world might start spending their aid budgets in the same way and that would negate the relative peace and progress since the end of the cold war.

If A stock is too old

If the A stock is unadaptable to 3 rail current collection. then either teh 4 rail format could be put back to Watford Junction and South Hampstead from its Harrow and Wealdstone- Kilburn High Road limits or the outgoing Circle Line C stock or District Line D Stock could run in 4 carriage format. The D stock is the most recent and therefore its with longer carriages might have sapce for current shoes and wheel adaptation. Plus its been driven on one of the most multicultural staffed tube lines, including many Irish, as was noted by the last London Mayor.

It could therefore be a way in tough economic times and as an act of reconciliation between the islands for HS2 construction to occur with minimum disruption which would aid regional regeneration and manufacturing in South Wales, Scotland and Northern England. The choice of which trains to recycle like this is in the hands of teh TfL board chaired by the present Mayor of London.

If i were writing the 2012 transport manifesto then this would be it

Transport manifesto for the GLA and London Mayorality 2012

1) Continue with the building of Crossrail with extra branches to Tring and St Albans Thameslink via links from Old Oak Common Interchange station for HS2 (building to begin of that sooner than 2018 opening of Crossrail so as to minimise disruption to Great Western Line and allow for better services when Euston is rebuilt for HS2.
2) Also build Croxley Rail Link if Dft and Transport and Works Approved after public consultation.
3) Prepare Airtrack construction and consultation with Transport and Works Act and depot in Feltham
4) Diesel Tram train or Class 172 Diesel train service West Ealing to Greenford, with possible extension to new platform at West Ruislip via Central line during peak hours, with future extension via Chiltern line to Gerrards cross and south Harefield station as section 106 for High Speed Two.
5) Support the rest of the Network Rail SE Rail study and Greengague 21 proposals for HS2 (particulary rail service to Derby and Sheffield on High Speed 2 and link line in West Midlands to Birmingham-Derby line.
6) Possible use of Metropolitan Line A Stock on Watford Junction- South Hampstead to augment LO rolling stock and allow some of it to be used on Barking- Gospel Oak electrified service to run on to Stonebridge Park and be stabled there.
7) Balham loop for London Overground to use some more rolling stock.
8) Chingford- Stratford service for London Overground after the Olympics to allow commuting to the new office blocks from day 1.
9) Adapt HST slam door carriages to driver operated automatic doors as on similar Irish, Australian, New Zealand and Chiltern Railway rolling stock.

The problems with the current internship system

However the way that internships operate at present is ad hoc and unclear and offers prefferential treatment to teh privately educated unless you contact the Constituency MP or local authority formally first and request to do work experience and ask for the full contract of employment and terms and conditions.

It does not fully apply to church and crown because they are the permenant institutions of the UK and that is the case for a British Bill of Rights. I agree with a bill of rights for the UK but because international law requires full behaviour according to civilised norms to prevent evils such as exploitation of others and torture and genocide and teh best way for that to be facilitated is democracy in my opinion to solve the middle east peace process permenantly.

The reason why I say safe and secure housing is that an employemnt track record in a government department is a better qualifier for housing and subsequent employment in UK cities if internships are only temporary under the current housing benefit reforms if that benefit is not allowed for full time students (as was put about by the NUS in the 1990s). That is why some privately educated students opt for external study or part time and combine it with employment to keep an employment record between internships.

internships as equality of opportunity

If there are internships for govt departments they have to be housed and that requires secure and safe premises to ensure equality of opportunity. There has to be contracts of employment, salaries for time there and travel passes and rail fare to get to the location where they are staying. Only then would there be genuine equality of opportunity.

And for this The elected parliaments and assemblies also count as government departments.
