IFJ NUJ IFJ NUJ I’m a fellow journalist and member of the IFJ - in Australia. Thank you for standing by Richard Medhurst who has a large following for his work precisely because he provides vital, informed analysis. Shutting down a journalist is very bad form for a country

Congratulations to Democrats for having the Cheney family -- who you always called fascist, war profiteering, torturing war criminals -- on your side! Maybe it's worth wondering why so many people of her ilk -- who you were condemning as satanic a decade ago -- love your Party?

The British government is complicit in genocide and is repressing journalists at home who report critically. No respect for international law No respect for freedom of expression or a free press. Shocking and abysmal.

The number of young men killed in Ukraine is an absolute travesty. A slaughter comparable to the trench warfare of WW1. This war should have never happened. Escalation could have been averted through simple diplomacy on numerous occasions.
