as george galloway so eloquently put it: margaret beckett as foreign secretary was the most ridiculous appointment since caligula appointed his horse to gthe senate.
how do you intend to stop the ever increasing radicalization of the Muslim population around the world, when you fail to acknowledge its partly our fault they feel this way in the first place.
England is the only country in the world that can show backbone against US policy and make a difference. On what issues do you propose to do so and why?
the challenge of the future, is to get a MP to answer questions that are asked and not discard them because of the way the question puts them on the spot.
I got a question, talks about Iraq's security between US and Iran is going a bit well but there are growing tension about military action against Iran, should Britain convince America to rule out military action against Iran for Iraq's sake?
Do you pray? Who do you pray to? Your job is overwhelming. I pray to Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace. I will be praying for you. ps. You may want to make room for Him in your schedule.
Since you support Turkey's joining of the EU, and Mr. Sarkozy has already made it clear he believes they should never be allowed to join: What do you think the likelihood is that Turkey will soon become a member? And how does the FCO, along with others, plan to persuade the French President to allow them to?
Try to use impose higher taxes or prnalties on manufacturers who refuse to participate in eco friendly practices. Use the big stick on those countries who practice the art of deception. There is no darkness, just absense of light. Open the eyes of those who cover them with dirty hands, and encourage them to behave. If that fails,,smack em upside the head!
Are you going to reevaluate the special relationship with the US or it is still in the national interest of Great Britain to stay the course by maintaining the close Anglo-American relations?
I agree, Israel recently kidnapped more members of the Palestinian Government and the director of the main Islamic charity in the Nablus. How can these sorts of actions go unchallenged?
We had no trouble going into Iraq, maybe blue hats are needed in Palestine/Israel to protect the sovereignty of both states?
When the labour party came to power 10 years ago you promised to folow an "ethical foreign policy".At that time I asked the foriegn secretary if he would raise the issue of the illegal imprisonment of Leonard Peltier by the U.S Government.I was ignored. Since the world trade center attacks our country's foreign policy has been far from ethical, indeed we are now viewed as being mere puppets of the corrupt American regime.
Given the controversy surrounding Iraq and Afghanistan, do you think in the future it will be difficult to gain public trust for humanitarian interversions such as the one in Sierra Leone in 2000?
Hello, how you you propose to hold the US accountable for their absolutely disproportionate per capita contribution to global green house gas emissions? Are you brave enough to suggest trading sanctions? How about adding a "carbon tax" to imports based on the coutry of origins proportion of "green" energy?
You are responsible for British relations in the Middle East. Mr Blair has in my view rightly taken a stand that 'ordering' ends to flare-ups with UN resolutions without offering real solutions is pointless (as in the Lebanon issue). What is the FCOs plan to get a REAL (not just another signed but will never work) solution to the Israeli arab conflict that satisfies Israeli security and Arab grievences? Is there any UK initiative or is the UK only acting as a member (eg quartet)?
Do you believe that issues such as trade, economic development of least developed nations, and utilization of country specific advantages can be instruments for developing foreign policy? And if so, how?
