Bombings follow from our policies

I WROTE recently to make two points. That American foreign policy and, of course, British foreign policy which follows it, has all to do with supporting the profits of huge corporations and nothing to do with democracy.

And that the appalling London bombings demonstrably follow from US/British foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East.

I know the likes of Keith Ratcliffe find if difficult to check facts so I chose undisputed mainstream reports from the BBC and the Times newspaper to illustrate that the facts are widely known.

I believe if you think it is right to fight for justice you start where you can have most effect. Here that includes pointing to the lies and hypocrisy of British governments.

Mr Ratcliffe prefers to use the greed of foreign governments (excluding US ones of course), to cover up that of our own.

He criticises the Chinese, Russian, French, German etc, over arms trading and/or oil pumping, though how he thinks this is relevant is a mystery, while ignoring the wreckage caused by the greed for power and profit of what he sees as his own side.
