'Whilst in London I saw virtually no reporting of world's biggest cricketing fixture by the English media and this has been the same since the inception of the IPL, the Indian Premier League. The only news reports by the BBC of this season's IPL were Chris Gayle's recent record breaking innings and the spot fixing allegations by some Rajasthan Royals players otherwise the tournament gets no mention in the English media. Why? The Ashes, of course, get non-stop coverage and is also rep(...)'

'Chinese machinations over border disputes with India seem to be a regular occurrence. China also appears to be playing a sort of divide and rule game with Pakistan and India, and India seems ill prepared for all these diplomatic and military manoeuvres.

'The murder of Daniel Morgan took place in 1987 in the UK yet no-one has been convicted for this crime. several trials have taken place but have collapsed and on one occasion the trial judge aborted the trial stating that the prosecution of the defendants could not continue due to Police corruption. Police corruption is understated in the UK and it is not just the fault of the Police but the judiciary have to bear some of the blame also. From my experience as a criminal def(...)'

'Far Right parties and extremism are gaining ground in Europe which is a worrying sign and this brings with it a rise in Anti-Semitism and racism. Even Britain which is more tolerant than most other European countries is witnessing a rise in Far Right support. The European Union and European governments must do more to tackle this Far Right extremism. It will require a co-ordinated effort by governments to combat the Far Right otherwise Europe will slide backwards.'

'UKIP, the UK Independence Party, appears to have made gains in yesterday's Council elections. This appears to be a protest vote by the voters. UKIP, a one policy party, is not suited to running councils. UKIP, full of Europhobes and an anti-immigration policy, has very little by way of policies on other matters such as the economy, transport, energy, health etc. UKIP deputy leader, Paul Nuttall says UKIP is "going places": hopefully to the dogs!'
