Where Good Vibes Go to Die
Chumbawamba. The Police Have Been Wonderful.
Most of us who have watched the scenes on television have only the highest praise for the police. They indeed have kept the right of miners to go to work open, and they’ve done it marvelously.
The police have been wonderful.
Our institutions of justice, the courts, and the police, require the unswerving support of every law-abiding citizen.
I think it totally and utterly false… to cast a slur on the police and the superb way in which they have handled this dispute.
The police have been wonderful.
If there are individual complaints about policemen, there’s a well-established machinery to pursue them, and that is why British justice is renowned across the world.
It seems that there are some who are out to destroy any properly elected government — they are out to bring down the framework of law. That is what we have seen in this strike

Hezbollah Forces Israel To Beg for a Ceasefire w/ Ghadi Francis and Batool Subeiti
Many out there are confused by the sudden Ceasefire between the IDF and Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, given that one of Hezbollah’s initial early operational imperatives was to not relent its military pressure on Israel until a ceasefire was reached in Gaza. That prospect seems more unlikely now, though some hold out hope that this ceasefire Lebanon will snowball into others throughout the region.
With the IDF on the brink, low on munitions and manpower, why relent now?
To explore this question we are joined tonight on State of Play by analysts/journalists Batool Subeiti and Ghadi Francis at 4pm EST.

Should a Government Help People Die?
UK lawmakers have proposed an assisted suicide bill that claims to offer a compassionate death. But is it just a way to save money? Madeleine Kearns reports.

This week, we turn our attention to Lebanon where a ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah has come into effect, putting a halt to more than a year of fighting.
But with Israel’s war on Gaza continuing, we bring you the story of Palestinian doctors who have reported abuse and cruel treatment inside Israeli jails.
Finally, we take a look at how Ukraine braces for Donald Trump’s incoming presidency in the United States.
Chumbawamba. Fitzwilliam.
Smiles for the cameras as the miners return
They say no one has lost and no one has gained
But wiser and stronger the people have changed
And it won’t be the same in the village againTwelve months of bribery, twelve months of lies
Cops in the village to truncheon your bride
Scabs down the back roads to break up the strike
Come out of your houses — there’s a war on outsideAttacked in the village, attacked in the courts
Sacked for refusing to bow to their lords
Less than a whisper from Commons and Lords
Retreats from the front when they most need supportWoman and woman in opposing extremes
Between man-made heaven and popular dreams
Between twisted detachment and learning to breathe
One locks the prison one sets herself freeSmiles for the cameras as the miners return
They say no one has lost and no one has gained
But wiser and stronger the people have changed
And it won’t be the same in Fitzwilliam againCage and canary are left in the mine
Canary still sings as machinery dies
Song breaks the bars which imprison its life
Flies from the pit shaft and into the skies
Craig Murray: Death in the Bekaa Valley
After a month of Israeli drones buzzing overhead, the author had grown rather blasé about them. But his companions were concerned about one moving along with them as they drove.
