Having been subject to repeated censorship of this kind by the New Statesmen I have now told them that I will INFORM people around the world about this ongoing holocaust-ignoring, especially in relation to (…)

    So, we are able to go to the horn of Africa, bring back 16-year old children and put them on trial as adults for piracy, but we succumb to the demands of the Wall Street pirates within our midst?
