Wednesday evening catch-up

Too many open Firefox tabs and nowhere near enough time to do these pieces justice.

1)

The connection? The man smiling in the top photo brutally killed all of the people in the bottom photo. They are the Fogel family and he is Hakin Awad who smiled throughout much of his murder trial.


2) The BBC report the simply staggering news that:
'There is evidence linking the Haqqani militant network to Pakistan's government, the US ambassador to Pakistan has said in a radio interview.'
Staggering, simply staggering; I am so shocked.


3) Daniek Hannan in The Telegraph has a history and economics lesson for the left. Unfortunately they won't listen. Do read the whole of Daniel Hannan's article, it doesn't really precis well.


4) the BBC report the words of Trade Union leader Len McCluskey:
'The head of Britain's biggest union has urged a campaign of strikes and civil disobedience to fight government cuts.

Speaking on the eve of the TUC congress, Unite leader Len McCluskey said no form of protest should be ruled out including "direct action".

He urged a "campaign of resistance so that the government will take stock and perhaps take a step back" from their "attack" on workers' jobs and pensions.

"I don't think we can rule anything out," he told the Andrew Marr Show.'
Strange how the left think they can ignore the result of elections and just try and get their own way.


5) Error Theory are still worrying whether the 'Crescent of Embrace memorial to Flight 93 really can be seen as a giant mihrab: the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built.' It's an interesting question and one that I have blogged about before.
