        Mr Ned says:

        I wonder how many convenient lies will be included that would help persuade a sceptical public about the need to take action against Iran.

        Blatant Inside Job!

        O/T

        Cameron could have refused the Irish Bailout. Christ on a bike, if little Slovakia could, The UK definately could.

        “SLOVAKIA

        WHEN Slovakians voted to join the EU six years ago they thought they would be getting handouts, not giving
        them. Alone among EU states, Slovakia held out against the deal to bail out Greece earlier this year, refusing to stump up any cash. Its £660 million share of the loan was eventually paid by other EU member states.

        Furious bureaucrats threatened legal action but found there was little they could do to force Slovakia to comply. Among Slovakians there was huge public support for the government’s stand.

        Slovakia’s Prime Minister Iveta Radicova says: “We had a diffi cult time with fundamental reforms before we joined the EU. No one helped us. We did not get a cent. Nothing. It was our citizens who had to carry the burden and it was not easy. But we got through this phase with very unpopular, painful reforms. How should I tell our citizens that we should now help those who are not prepared to do something themselves?”

        Slovakia’s economy, powered by car and electronics exports in factories run by foreign giants, was hard hit by the global slump and this year it launched a biting austerity drive.”

        FFS I am getting more and more pissed off at the spineless traitors in government.

          the leaks exposed lies says:

          You seriously think the first set of leaks exposing the extent of lies about the war and including details of torture and possible complicity HELPED the US and UK ?? Or do you think that was all a cunning plan?

          Inside job my arse you paraniod nutter.

          • Mr Ned says:

            All that information was public domain from other sources and had been dismissed by the media and politicians anyway. Bloggers have been leaking the torture allegations for years.

            These bloggers were dismissed at the time as conspiracy nutters by fuckwits like you.

            This meant that the details of torture could safely be leaked without lawful consequence, alongside a list of lies supporting various false allegations against Iran.

          • the leaks exposed lies says:

            No it wasn’t. You’re full of shit neddy.
            Those were the actual US transmissions from the war and were absolute proof that the US and UK had lied. That information was hugely damaging and the leaker was arrested. Or was he in on it too you paranoid nutjob ?

            Nobody dismissed the 2 million who marched against the war and thought Blair and Bush were full of shit as conspiracy nutters.

            But you need to take your tin foil hat off go for a long lie down in a dark room if you seriously believe Wikileaks is some ludicrous US conspiracy.

          • Hugh ffishingly-Whittlingstool says:

            These figures just keep getting bigger; a man who shared his lunchtime sandwich becomes a metaphor about feeding ‘the 2 million who marched against the war’.

            Aerial footage of, say, London’s ‘Stop the War’ march can be analysed to produce a startlingly accurate figure of participation: this figure is not released. Instead, tendentious estimates are used by all sides.

            Vague language means that you could read an estimate for global participation -in all places for an open-ended period- for participation in an amble through central London on one sunny afternoon. A grand day out for some, an episode in the struggle for ill-defined forms of ‘freedom’ for others.

          TROOPS OUT NOW! says:

          So there were no D-Notices over the leaks of the actions of the troops on the ground, yet as soon as the ‘diplomatic’ musings between Bush Blair Brown Obama and Cameron are leaked, Number 10 and the Whitehouse go crazy ?

          I think that says it all about their priorities.

          • Tessa Tickles says:

            British government priorities in a Nutshell:

            1. British troops being blown to bits for want of basic equipment.

            2. UK fore*ign aid budget 2010/11: £7.7billion (up from £6.8bn 2009/2010).

      The Coalition Government is no better than the one it replaced. says:

      Just what is the point of a D notice?

      The info is out there and it just makes it more attractive.

      • 130
        Mr Ned says:

        That is the whole point. They know that in this day and age with the internet that they cannot keep this secret, so ask yourself, why are they putting a massive sign over this stuff that screams “OI! LOOK OVER HERE AT THIS STUFF WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO SEE, OVER HERE!!!”

        it’s propaganda, pure and simple.

        Telling blatant lies about Iran in the way they did about Iraq will not work, so if they “fight against the leaking of sensitive data” then people will believe what is in amongst it.

        I have no doubt that they are releasing a lot of embarrassing truth, but hiding in amongst it will be some diamond grade propaganda.

        Hide in plain sight!!!

          Ned Neddy Noggin says:

          So you is saying this is a double bluff and MI6 is funding Wikileaks?

          • WHO IS THE WORLD'S BIGGEST HEROIN DEALERS? THE CIA says:

            The story that will change the course of the Afghanistan occupation is that the CIA are dealing Afghan heroin which ends up on the streets of Britain and the USA.

          • Mr Ned says:

            That is one of the things, yeah.

          • Don’t be so fucking stupid you paranoid nutter.

            Wikileaks founder has been personally attacked and smeared and it could hardly be more obvious that this leak and the others like it have exposed lying to the public by both the UK and US governments on a massive scale about about Iraq and Afghanistan.

            They have done the public a huge service and don’t need de,lusional tin foil hatters trying to muddy the waters with nutty conspiracy theories about wikileaks being funded by some ‘un-named’ (of course it is) shadowy group.

          • Mr Ned says:

            You are a gullible fuckwit. If these leaks were the real deal the head of wikipedia would be dead or permanently detained by now. They have the laws, resources and capability to do it and to stop these leaks. So why are they allowing them to be leaked in a blaze of publicity.

          • Roger the butler says:

            I theenk Mr Ned is a MI5 plant, just to confuse you seempletons.

          • Mr Ned says:

            I never ever referred to who was funding wikileaks. That is a fantasy that you invented.

            Stick to truth and evidence backed reality. I do.

          • CUCKOO! CUCKOO! says:

            “If these leaks were the real deal the head of wikipedia would be dead”

            They DID try to have him arrested on trumped up charges you fuckwit. Or was THAT another ‘inside job’ set up you deranged loon ?

            The US don’t have complete control of every country in the world and they aren’t the all powerful superbeings from your paranoid fantasies.

        Yes, it’s interesting that he is not concerned with exposing Hezbollah, Hamas, the IRA, the SWP, the Anarchists, North Korea, Iran, Venezuala, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Libya, Saudi Arabia and other assorted thugs. Clearly, his interpretation of “freedom” is highly suspect and dangerous.

        Someone else says:

        Well they are trying to frame him for something but there are thousands more to take his place. Now watch out for “fake” wikileaks being used to disseminate lies.

        BTW… I am interested in knowing exactly what these much hyped “western interests”are, because such vague terms are usually a cover for highly unethical things that are ultimately in everyone’s interest to be exposed.

I worry about the U SA, until recently I always wondered why should I be bothered with what happens over the pond. But what with the ridiculous unwinnable conflicts we’ve been dragged into , the credit crunch and the posturing over the oil slick etc it makes you think. The pillock over there has done sod all since he’s been in power apart from make lots of empty gestures.

      The papers might not publish the leaks but the MI5 & MI6 will be working themselves up to a frenzy trying to do a Chinese block on the internet.

      • 133
        Mr Ned says:

        No they won’t. They want this stuff released, that’s why they have applied for a useless D notice.

        Nothing will get the gullible tos warm to and believe the propaganda in favour of their next war like propaganda which is “blocked” by a D notice.

      • 144
        Mr Ned says:

        If they really wanted this stuff blocked, The US would declare the leak an act of cyber-terrorism and confiscate a few servers, the head of wikileaks would be officially branded a terrorist and he would disappear as would their entire tech support and we would barely even hear about it.

        The US already has laws to deal with this sort of thing, and to strengthen them, IF national security was REALLY threatened, Obama would impose an Executive Order giving the intelligence any extra powers required to protect sensitive data.

        Why are they NOT using these existing powers?

        This whole “wikileak” thing is so bogus it is not real. How fucking blatant!

            Stop taking the drugs.

            It is flattering that you cannot find fault with my logic, but have to refer to delusional and wholly incorrect attacks on me personally, I accept your admission of losing the argument in good grace.

            You are clearly so far away from reality in your delusional conspiracy world that you really will believe the conspiracy theories leaked in this batch of wikileaks stuff.

            Man DID land on the moon. Kennedy was shot from behind. And there is no such thing as the loch ness monster and lizard people, but give my regards to David Icke next time you idolise him in an email you fruitcake.

          • nell says:

            We have a constitutional monarchy where the power to call for war is invested in the PM.

            Her Maj only has the right to express a concern privately to her PM, but not publicly. She doesnt have the power to stop the PM going to war.

            Dates back I think I’m right in saying to Charles I, when he tried to claim ‘divine right’.

            Old ollie cromwell made sure the crown never had that power again.

            Old ollie, it could be said , gave birth to the origins of the rampant left. And look where it’s led us!!!

          • All in it together says:

            Who, having sworn an oath to defend the sovereignty of the nation at her coronation, rubberstamped both Labour and Conservative governments surrender of our independance to foreign rule?

          • nell says:

            I’m sorry but you just don’t understand the legalities of constitutional monarchy that guide the government of this country.

            She’s not the one with the power the PM is. Previous PM’s have used their power in conjunction with the wisdom and constraint of the monarchy.

            The last labour government under bliar and brown chose to ignore her knowing she hadn’t got the legal power to stop their egoistic excesses.

            It has been to labour’s cost because they are now in the wilderness and not sure if they can find their way back.

            bliar’s war and gordon’s profligacy have brought labour to their knees.

            Let’s hope they stay there!!!

          • Mr Ned says:

            nell, sorry, but you are just plain wrong on this one. The Queen takes the coronation oath on becoming the monarch. She swore:

            (1) to govern the peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the dominions etc belonging or pertaining to them according to their respective laws and customs;

            (2) to cause law and justice in mercy to be executed in all judgments, to the monarch’s power;

            The Iraq war was an unlawful crime against peace.

            “A crime against peace, in international law, refers to “planning, preparation, initiation, or waging of wars of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing” [1]. This definition of crimes against peace was first incorporated into the Nuremberg Principles and later included in the United Nations Charter. This definition would play a part in defining aggression as a crime against peace.”

            We are a signatory to the United Nations Charter and that means that a breach against that is a breach of domestic law. She swore to uphold domestic law.

            She could have, and indeed was obliged as head of state to, refuse to sanction that war.

            She should have ordered HER military to arrest Blair and hand him over for trial at the Hague.

            Additionally, the Lords have sanctioned a lawfull rebellion against the crown by good men and true in defence of Sovereignty according to the few remaining articles within the Magna Carta which are still enshrined in current law.

            She has committed treason upon the sovereign people of this land by signing EU treaties unlawfully giving away OUR collective sovereignty in breach of her constitutional powers.

            I wonder why the coalition decided to smack a d notice on labour excesses and ‘corruptions’ to use an american expression from this morning about wikileaks??

            This is nothing to do with etonians , this is everything to do with bliar, brown, alicampbell, shrieking shriti, damianmcbride and all the rest of those tainted liebourites that terrorised the secretarial staff in no 10 through bliar’s sofa days to brown’s bunker days and all the lies that they told the electorate when they went to war.

            Let’s not forget Dr David Kelly and the truth he spoke when he said alicampbell’s journal, stating wmd at 45 mins, had been sexed up.

            Let’s also not forget he paid for that truth with his life!!

          • Mr Ned says:

            Ah Smoggie, someone else who is NOT a gullible prat. Well done. This leak is so blatantly an inside jobby.

            The US have laws already to prevent the leak. They knew and promoted the fact this leak was coming and have pretended to be incapable of stopping it.

            All they have to do is claim that it is a threat to national security, and is therefore an act of international cyber terrorism and confiscate (by force if necessary) any servers involved and they could snatch the head of wikileaks and his entire tech support and admins and shut it down.

            They nicked taxi drivers in Afghanistan and held them for nearly 10 years FFS. Holding real terrorists would be easily doable.

            If they believed that these leaks were REALLY dangerous, Obama would have created an Executive Order authorising all necessary measures to stop the leak.

            So why have they NOT done that?

    Coming Soon says:

    “The UK Film Council appears to be refusing to go out with a bang. One of its last large-scale donations has been to the forthcoming Margaret Thatcher biopic, The Iron Lady, which was awarded £1m in October.

    Some see the move as an 11th-hour snook cocked at the Conservatives who, if rumours surrounding the script are to believed, may not welcome the project.

    Tim Walker of the Daily Telegraph reports that Thatcher’s family were “appalled” by the sound of the film, which apparently involves the former prime minister reassessing her career with some regret after the death of her husband, Denis, and while she is suffering from dementia. “They think it sounds like some left-wing fantasy,” Walker quotes a friend of the family as saying.

    Pathé, who are producing the film, insist it will be made with “appropriate sensitivity”. Meryl Streep plays Thatcher, and will be reunited with her Mamma Mia! director Phyllida Lloyd. Jim Broadbent is Denis, while Peep Show’s Olivia Colman takes on the role of their daughter, Carol.”

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101126/pl_nm/us_wikileaks_usa

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States has briefed Britain, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Israel ahead of the expected new release of classified U.S. documents, WikiLeaks said on Thursday, citing local press reports.

    The whistle-blowing website said by Twitter that American diplomats briefed government officials of its six allies in advance of the release expected in the next few days.

    The next release is expected to include thousands of diplomatic cables reporting corruption allegations against politicians in Russia, Afghanistan and other Central Asian nations, sources familiar with the State Department cables held by WikiLeaks told Reuters on Wednesday.

    The allegations are major enough to cause serious embarrassment for foreign governments, the sources said.

    Some governments appear to be bracing for the impact of the revelations.

    According to the London-based daily al-Hayat, the WikiLeaks release includes documents that show Turkey has helped al-Qaeda in Iraq — and that the United States has supported the PKK, a Kurdish rebel organization that has been waging a separatist war against Turkey since 1984, the Washington Post reported.

    The U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv warned the Israeli foreign ministry that some of the cables could concern U.S.-Israel relations, the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported, citing a senior Israeli official. http://r.reuters.com/cek37q
