Minister Mike Gapes (MP for Ilford South) has asked the Department of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what the policy shall be towards the investigation of the death of Alexander Litvinenko and requested a statement as to the extradition of Andrei Lugovoi. Jeremy Browne (MP for Taunton Deane) has stated that since the Crown Prosecution Service has announced that it finds a case for Andrei Lugovoy to answer, he remains liable for prosecution in the UK for the murder of Mr Litvinenko.[1] Alexander Litvinenko was an officer who served in the Soviet KGB and died from poisoning in 2006.[2,3]
Andrew Gywnne (MP for MP for Denton/Reddish) has asked the Department of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent assessments have been made of the effectiveness of the Department's policy of exploring contacts with Hezbollah. Alistair Burt (MP for North East Bedfordshire) has stated that The British Embassy in Beirut holds very limited contacts with Hezbollah politicians. This issue, along with a wider Lebanon policy shall be considered for review.[4] The Guardian reported on the 9th of July 2010, that William Hague (Foreign Secretary) had censored a Foreign Office blog-post that had praised the death of the Hezbollah mentor, Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah.[5]
Daniel Kawczynski (MP for Shrewsbury/Atcham) has asked the Department of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what aims and objectives the Government has set for UK foreign policy on Kazakhstan. "We want to strengthen our relationship with Kazakhstan. Energy security and supplies, together with the corresponding trade and investment opportunities [happen-to-be] particularly important ... We [shall] work to enhance co-operation ... through language and vocational education links and on nuclear counter-proliferation issues. We [shall] also continue to work closely with Kazakhstan on the broader international agenda. Not least through Kazakhstan's important role this year as chairman-in-office of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). We [shall] continue to encourage and support Kazakhstan to meet the human rights and political standards to which it [has been] committed as a member of organisations such as the UN and the OSCE," replies the aforementioned Mr. Browne of Taunton Deane.[6] Minister for Europe David Lidington, who took part in an informal meeting of OSCE Foreign Ministers (16 and 17 July, 2010) near Almaty, said that he was particularly pleased to visit Kazakhstan to reconfirm the strength of the bilateral relationship in such areas as business, energy, healthcare, education, agriculture and financial and legal services.[7]

200th day of the Tens
In the wake of the Cork Week Regatta
A woman has been found alive
After being stranded in the sea
Forty Five Miles North West
Off the Isles of Scilly.
An overboard signal was sent from the yacht 'Jaguar Logic' to another yacht 'Buchaneer'
The call came through at 1am this morning, on Monday the 19th of July, scrambled by RAF Chivenor requesting the launch of Sennen and St Marys RNLI lifeboats. According to the Falmouth coastguard several vessels had to be employed in order to find the missing person.
Neil Oliver, Falmouth Coastguard Watch Manager said: “We were pleased to say that the woman had been found alive and uninjured alongside the vessel ‘Jeese Louise’. She had been winched from the water and airlifted to Treliske Hospital. We were particularly relieved to have found her since she had been in the sea for two hours, was not wearing a lifejacket and sea conditions were fairly rough.”
It has become known that Jeese Louise was on its way back home following the Cork Week regatta.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency advises those who set to sea to always remember to: get trained; wear a lifejacket; avoid alcohol; take a method of communication with you; and check the weather and tides.

La Nouvelle su Jour
104th day o'the Tens!
The elected depends on the 'Generosity of the Public Mind'. As having a disability that has been not only questionable to myself but also to others in what can be legitimately classed as mental illness and the question as to whether society should care for those less fortunate is answered by my treatment under the Labour Government of the last decade. After ten years battling with the illness and therefore striving for a measure of well-being only now have I found a suitable treatment that affords me a quality of life and means I can begin to contribute to society. The Generosity of the Public Mind has allowed me this grace and has only been made possible under the Labour Government. The day I realised that I was going to vote labour in the May elections this year was when I spoke to a young homeless woman who revealed that she would be allowed to claim housing benefit from the temporary address of a hostel in order to find her feet. The most destitute may never be able to contribute to society in a way that is economically profitable but the fact that they are part of a society means that it is that society's responsibility to care for them. Those who are subject to illness, poverty, or are by circumstance completely destitute should not be regarded as taking advantage of the Generosity of the Public Mind, for it is in the interest of such a social concept to give with no thought of return to those who are unable to pay it back. The expenses scandal, however, I fear is reproachable by the Public Mind whose generosity may be scaled back in the interests of social darwinism under a potential Conservative government. For all the hyperbole of the election campaigning we should remember the golden rule for rightly dividing a politicians word of truth: is what is being promised based on what is morally true, or is it factually true? We need to be certain that what we are being told can be credibly backed up and followed through. The Generosity of the Public Mind belongs to the conscientious while the apathetic and uninformed shall allow the few to rule the many and known. But when the many and the known consitute a body marginalised, do we really need a government who will marginalise them further?

La Nouvelle su Jour?
76th day o'the Tens!
(I wish I'd never spoke to Dali in my dream, he's got some serious issues)
Just to reiterate what commentator Charles Davies is saying about the BBC cuts. At first, horrified that Youth Programming would be lost is the ideal compromise if BBC need to cut expenditures to resist a Murdoch-monopoly. We wouldn't want to complicate Public Service Broadcasting with interference from News Corp. should they buckle under financial constraints.
All hail, Alem! L'regle d'Poete et l'loi.
In preparation for trying these hands as a poet in the West Bank the most interesting mediator of a deity will present herself there, for sure. Mutaqqah-at (or, as known to Ishmael) is the untranslatable. What else but music? If you can imagine your conversation as a Piano Roll, a complex series of geomantic dots-and-lines would fall before your eyes, punctuated by the Arabic Script of Alif, Laam, Miim - the three mystical letters that have baffled scholars since the beginning. What is great about Muhammad is that because his writings are over 800 years old, there's no copyright. Imagine the delight of copywright with this insight!
Why a deity? Alif, Laam, Miim when translated from Arabic to Hebrew means exactly that! Very marketable ©Elijah Nathaniel James (see date on this blog post... MINE, MINE, MINE,

On Venables...
75th day o'the Tens
Best England manager of the time. FA, literally, fuck all without the figurehead. The way he got Beckham & Gascoigne linking up was the most exciting field display since Sir Bobby (Terry being a close second to).
As journalists we are faced with a crisis of conscience, in the first instance a moral dilemma of what we can present and whether its presentation serves the Public Interest. Then we have to ask ourselves the question, in such an intimate manner that it feels invasive, that to entertain another's evil has a knock-on effect of contrition. It is an assumption of guilt, not in reference to our own morality as opinion-formers, but for the crime itself. *He must have no conscience!* if the allegations against Jon Venables prove to be founded. They must first pass through the Courts of Law unhindered before the Public Sphere is allowed to form its judgment but my heart goes out to those privelaged few journalists who may already know the particular truth.
Do we face a crisis of conscience in the presence of one who may not?
I sincerely hope so since once the proceedings are conclusive the judgment will be transferred to a Collective Moral Conscience (the general public).
Union members may be divided by two extremes of which my colleagues share. The most obvious is retribution. "Chop his balls off" - a view that is held by our left shoulder angel and one that is countered by our right side, which says: "would you chop off the hand of a thief?" Surely it begs the question: what is being robbed in this instance?
The accused has a right to life afforded by the European Convention of Human Rights, a right to life guaranteed by anonymity, but if the accused forfeits these rights then the Public Sphere has the right to retribution of which I am of accord. For to make it a moral dilemma would amount to the countenancing of the most heinous of crimes but to rush a judgment, especially one sensationalised by The Spectacle, was-to-be prejudice. Hence the reason Jack Straw defends the law.
And so, retribution was-to-be the likely opinion forming in the Public Sphere (especially in light of The Sun newspaper's revelations) yet this prejudice is contradicted by the crisis of conscience that must be at least felt by those who already know the truth should they experience it in their endeavour to be objective. When it becomes a matter of collective responsibility and the admission to what a human being is capable of, played out in front of our eyes, we all fall victim to a conscience crisis.
The judge will bring down the hammer before a jury deciding the fate of one but the argument that will ensue ensures the fate of all.

On Unemployment: 23.9.9
Unemployment.
Today, 23rd September, 2009, you walk the streets wearing shirt and tie, a folder underneath the arm.
The folder is black, and reads TRAINING AGENCY (EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT GROUP). It contains nothing. But, the employed don’t know.
If you’ve got no job, you might as well pretend. They march on London, folders empty, but under arms. Bureaucratic protest!
