Barbaric Sudan

For those who might be interested, the address of the Embassy of Sudan in London is:

Embassy of the Republic of the Sudan
3 Cleveland Row
St. James’s
London
SW1A 1DD

Should you feel that the violent and unpleasant regime might need reminding that civilised states do not jail teachers on trumped up charges under a kangeroo court for allowing their class to name a teddy bear, my suggestion is that you let them know that the people of the United Kingdom hold them in the most abject contempt.

After all it is merely the latest crime from a regime that is racist, fanatical, despotic and evil.

I think that the man who represents this disgusting regime in London, Omer Siddig, can leave as soon as he likes, and I do not think that our woman in Khartoum, Dr Rosalind Marsden, need detain herself further in attendance to these vermin.

I share your disgust about the Sudanese regime - mainly for the despoilation of Darfur. However, in its own terms, 15 days in jail is not awfully 'barbaric'. The teacher did act in a way which is apparently offensive and illegal under the terms of Sudanese law. In comparison, we already detain people for up to 28 days in the UK, while determining their guilt, and are discussing an extension on that figure. I think the 300,000 dead in Darfur should be a better call to action than the short imprisonment and subsequent banishment of a rather naive teacher. Wheatley

Agree with Cicero on Sudan.

O/T but i was sorry to hear about Aberdeen Cicero. The winner must be a remarkable candidate. One hopes you will not confine yourself to Scotland but accept solicitations from LDCPS in the rest of the UK. I can think of several old Labour seats cum Lib Dem targets that would benefit from an MP with a brain of his own. Newport East should be just the Job.......

I agree with the anonymous poster. Darfur should have gotten us more riled up than this "Mohammed" case. Plus, look, it's rogues like China and Russia propping Khartoum up and the African Union, much to Qaddafi's (shockingly) disgust, is impotent on these things. Until Africa feels strong enough to act, it will be too weak to stop these things. It is not "colonial" for us to stop injustices, it is called the right thing to do.

Hey Wheatley! It is a very moot point as to if this is a crime even under the draconian and backward laws of Sudan, and the fact that this issue has now led barbarians to demand death for the teacher shows to me that this was a political trial all along. I completely agree about Darfur (and indeed South Sudan) and would suggest that the United Kingdom no longer recognise the legality of Sudanese rule there.

Hope all well...

Concert and Blues

Tallinn is full tonight... Big concerts on at the Song field The Weeknd and Bonnie Tyler (!). The place is buzzing and some sixty thousand concert goers have booked every bed for thirty miles around Tallinn. It should be a busy high summer, but it isn´t. Tourism is down sharply overall. Only 70 cruise ships calling this season, versus over 300 before Ukraine. Since no one goes to St Pete, demand has fallen, and of course people think that Estonia is not safe. We are tired. The economy is still under big pressure, and the fall of tourism is a significant part of that. The credit rating for Estonia has been downgraded as the government struggles with spending. The summer has been a little gloomy, and soon the long and slow autumn will drift into the dark of the year. Yesterday I met with more refugees: the usual horrible stories, the usual tears. I try to make myself immune, but I can´t. These people are wounded in spirit, carrying their grief in a terrible cradling. I try to project hop

Media misdirection

In the small print of the UK budget we find that the Chancellor of the Exchequer (the British Finance Minister) has allocated a further 15 billion Pounds to the funding for the UK track and trace system. This means that the cost of the UK´s track and trace system is now 37 billion Pounds.  That is approximately €43 billion or US$51 billion, which is to say that it is amount of money greater than the national GDP of over 110 countries, or if you prefer, it is roughly the same number as the combined GDP of the 34 smallest economies of the planet.  As at December 2020, 70% of the contracts for the track and trace system were awarded by the Conservative government without a competitive tender being made . The program is overseen by Dido Harding , who is not only a Conservative Life Peer, but the wife of a Conservative MP, John Penrose, and a contemporary of David Cameron and Boris Johnson at Oxford. Many of these untendered contracts have been given to companies that seem to have no notewo

One Year On

  Head vabariigi iseseisvuspäeva! Happy Estonian Independence Day! It is one year since I stood outside the Estonian Parliament for the traditional raising of the national flag from Tall Hermann tower. Looking at the young fraternities gathered with their flags, I was very sure that Estonia too would soon be facing the aggression of the criminal Russian regime. A tragic and dark day. 5 eyes intelligence had been clear: an all out invasion was going to happen, and Putin´s goals included- and still include- "restoration" of Russian imperial power across Europe, even to the Atlantic. Yet there was one Western intelligence failure: we all underestimated the guts of the Ukrainian armed forces, the ZSU, and its President and people. One year on, Estonia, and indeed all the front line states against Russia, knows that Ukraine saved us. Estonia used that time to prepare itself, should that "delayed" onslaught ever be unleashed, but equally the determination of Kaja Kallas,
