Given what Cuba has managed to achieve while under a 48 year trade embargo I really think they deserve some credit. I have visited Cuba a number of times over the last 20 years and have many Cuban friends living there and around the world. Only the US holds Cuba…

This could turn into a very enlightening game of let’s you and him fight. Are we to get to see some seriously dirty linen on show I wonder?

The elephant in the room has got even bigger, not only have two Palestinians been arrested in Jordan and deported to Dubai but a senior Hamas man has been arrested in Syria. What I find stunning about this is that there really isn’t any evidence at all to show that…

I’m not going to go over all that has been gone over above and Sabi at me with more of his half truths that don’t in fact prove anything except Sabi’s single line thinking. Dubai is an international centre for the shadowy dealers of every kind and it’s police are…

All the passports have turned out to be fake and so far only two have been identified as being real people, though the PP numbers and dates of birth were wrong relative the real people.

The fact that al-Mabhouh was out there alone and that such a crowd was involved…

I think the real danger here is not that JT is selling a harmful product, though of course they are. The danger is that once this type of legal responsibility is applied to a company the floodgates are opened and any other company can be sued. Which essentially is how…

This might be Japan Today, but this story has nothing at all to do with Japan, it is simply a sad story in the news. Unless of course you can’t stop yourself from having a dig at Japan even when Japan is not involved. Perhaps I should remind people that…

I have absolutely no sympathy for fat people of any kind and that includes those that can genuinely prove that it is a medical problem and not simply their greed that has produced all this extra body they carry around. I too have a medical problem; I suffer from righteous…

Because attacking anything Japanese is about all anybody is allowed to do on JT. Say anything good, or god forbid, actually try to defend the Japanese and you can guarantee you will get deleted.
