I had hoped that I would keep this thing updated regularly with information and links on important political developments, as much for my own benefit as anything. Unfortunately I'm far too lazy to do this well and as a result many of the important events of recent times have past unreported and apparently unnoticed by this blog. The American/French/Canadian backed coup in Haiti is a case in point. Similarly the Madrid bombings and the consequences for the Aznar government, the UN bugging scandal, the Israeli assasination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the emergence of George Galloway's Respect Coalition, International Women's Day and the pogroms in Kosovo. Maybe I'll get better at this in the future. Or not.
