		<title>I&#8217;ve always wanted to go to French Indo China, and now, this week I&#8217;ll be there</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always wanted to go to French Indo China, and now, this week I&#8217;ll be there. Loved reading Somerset Maugham&#8217;s descriptions of the Mekong River with the mists swathing the surrounding hills so that they looked like little green islets in a grey sea. The exotic markets, sampans and that inscrutable Eastern way. Now I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real Turkey isn&#8217;t just the land of beach holidays and sunlit coves. There is something far more sinister going on. On the streets of Ankara it&#8217;s men in turbans and prayer caps, woman in veils and chadors, and next up could even be burkhas. Prime Minister Erdogan has welcomed Sudan&#8217;s vile president Omar Hassan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Angelina Jolie&#8217;s father Jon Voight, in an open letter in the Washington Post, has expressed powerful support for Israel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Angelina Jolie&#8217;s father Jon Voight, in an open letter in the Washington Post, has expressed powerful support for Israel, an isolated voice in a maelstrom of hysteria. He stuck his neck out in a hostile, and dangerous arena where to be pro Israel is to be unfashionable, right wing, and downright shameful. Well done Jon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where will Obama blow up next?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[British Petroleum, General McChrystal, it&#8217;s not looking good for the supposedly cool President Obama. Gen McChrystal had built up a strong bond with President Karzai of Afghanistan and transformed the campaign into something more structured and positive. He gave strict orders to Nato forces to avoid civilian casualties at all costs and engage the local [...]]]></description>

		<title>What about Gilad Shalit shut away in a silent void</title>

		<title>What it&#8217;s like in The Maldives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Maldives is surreal. Extinct volcanoes in the sea on which coral reefs have grown, and on top of that a smattering of beach sand. Nothing more, just tiny pods in the ocean surrounded by vibrant reefs. In a storm you can&#8217;t help but wonder if you&#8217;ll all be blown away and land up in [...]]]></description>

		<title>I just knew it, Obama administration and not just BP to blame for oil spill, and must halt all offshore drilling now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Come out from under your halo, Obama, and admit that the public should be looking at you and not just BP to blame for the horrendous oil spill wiping out marine life, coastal areas, and ruining the livelihoods of whole communities. There were glaring warning signs, readings that gas was bubbling into the wells, suggesting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve had our election but cor blimey what&#8217;s the result? As I write no one really knows and the scenarios are numerous and varied, as the pound plummets and a grey cloud hangs over Britain. But I must say that after a bleary night watching the returning officers read out their results, my real enjoyment [...]]]></description>

		<title>ad- Doesn&#8217;t Obama look shabby now, and who cares whether BP pays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just an add to the last blog about the tragedy of the fast moving black sludge currently washing up dead turtles in Louisiana. It was only last month that arguably the most powerful man in the world, President Obama, proudly claimed that oil rigs are safe. This was, of course, in order to justify his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama is a big disappointment and who cares whether BP pays or not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s not forget that drilling off the US coast is down to the all promising President Obama in the first place, the man who has just reversed the ban on oil drilling off most U.S. shores. Only last month he proudly announced an expansive new policy that could put new oil and natural gas platforms [...]]]></description>
