Yes without doubt granny the storm is coming, who will be the scapegoats, throughout history there has always been a catalyst something to gel the seething throngs to blame some one or something for all the ills, religion, culture, who knows, the truth is out there, or will the blinding flash signal the end for us all.

Some good points there Casper. If the Tinned Sunshine* doesn't see most of us off, then ebola surely will. We are not doing anything about keeping that from our shores! Sorry, some stuffed suit WAS talking about it today in Parliament. Maybe talking will keep it out?? Mmmmmmmm.

Everyone holds their own opinion of the catastrophic events in the Middle East and to understand all, is more than impossible.
In an attempt to understand, I am becoming more and more heated by the hour.
This is the most horrific situation for Gaza, no matter what Hamas are up to, my emotions of great despair are with the Palestinian people. The children.......how do they understand ? It makes me cry every time I watch the news.
To make matters worse, and create an even more crisis, look at the following article. Time line of what US have agreed today.
God help them all.

Analysis: BBC's Mark Lowen in Cairo

What was originally planned as peace talks between the warring sides in Gaza has now become something far weaker. The Palestinians have sent a delegation but the US appears to have downgraded their representation. Middle East Quartet envoy Tony Blair has also apparently changed plans to attend.

But, most significantly, Israel has pulled out, calling ceasefire talks with the Palestinians meaningless while rocket attacks continue. That has raised the possibility that Israel will simply complete its stated goal of destroying Hamas tunnels and then withdraw from Gaza without a long-term agreement.

So the 'talking around a table', can't possibly work when people don't bother to attend.

They have all got their own agendas granny, the innocent are stuck in the middle paying the price. All countries wring their hands and condemn the violence but continue to sell arms to both sides and some choose sides because it suits.

MY MY, why is it that we vote theses people into power then all we do is gripe about them, it appears from the comments here that we have crooks running the country who's sole aim is to steal your benefits (which they give you in the first place) I wonder why we don't vote in a dictator, we had two of them, Blair & Brown, the first has gone off and made his fortune the second is hiding away in Scotland, drawing his undeserved MP's pay, looking forward to the day he can retire on his PM's pension, it's a pity that your wood is so dense you can't see the trees.

(Artie40)now known as Jack. You have been in your box for 3 years. Who opened your lid for you to pop up and play out ?

Your right granny,Artie40 has appeared today on a few threads spreading his words of wisdom, I didn't know we have crooks running the country, thanks for that information Artie, I definitely wont vote for them then.

I thought it was Frank, I had my own business, I have my own holiday home and I cruise down the Rhine on the Bismarck.

They're coming after our libraries again
Anyone out there still care about Libraries and consider them to be important? Pay attention!

Library staff heard today that they are, in effect, being culled! 50% of Customer Service Assistants (previously know as Library Assistants) are going, only 5 Qualified Librarian posts will remain, and staff are going to have to be re-interviewed for the remaining jobs in early December and won't know until the week before Christmas. How s**t is that of the Council.

This is very bad news. The destruction of Wirral's proud Library service begins. The Council wish to replace skilled professionals with volunteers. Where the hell are these volunteers going to come from? The answer is nowhere. The Friends groups are all pretty much opposed to the use of volunteers in libraries. It's both impractical and unethical. Hopefully the people of Wirral will rise up again like they did in 2008-09.

"staff are going to have to be re-interviewed for the remaining jobs in early December and won't know until the week before Christmas. How s**t is that of the Council."

It was a rhetorical question I know rudebox, but VERY VERY VERY is the answer ,isnt it.

Wheels within wheels. So much goes on that we hear nothing about. Only when we start to look deeper do we spot certain bits that make us more aware of what goes on behind closed doors.

Police Commissioner for Merseyside ,Jane Kennedy. Fine, apart from the fact she is a member of the 'Friends of Israel' support group, as most politicians are these days, and I do not support Israel after it's recent blitz on Palestine, so causes me another dilemma as to which party I now support.

Everyone to their own, so that aside, just a quote which is questionable, considering her now position. I would have thought she should have been above this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Kennedy_(politician)

It was announced in January 2010 the Wavertree Labour party had picked Luciana Berger as her successor.[3] This selection caused some controversy because of Berger's London background, but also because she was resident at Mrs Kennedy's home for a month before the selection, a home Mrs Kennedy shares with her partner Peter Dowling, who is the local Labour party's agent. The postal votes were sent to Mr Dowling at Kennedy's home.

It ALL stinks to high Heaven !!
