character: Saddam Hussein

 

Blustering and arrogant, a dictator defies his judges

By Stephen Farrell        The Times        October 20, 2005

 

Saddam led eight defendants

facing the death penalty in showing contempt for court

HIS arrogance re-energised by the kisses and handshakes

of henchmen flanking him in the dock,

Saddam Hussein yesterday turned his trial

into a battle of wills between the old and new Iraqi regimes.

 

In proceedings that at times descended into chaos,

the former dictator stood defiant

before judges appointed to try him,

berating them from within an iron pen in the city

he was long accustomed to ruling without question.

 

Refusing to recognise the court,

refusing to stand when the judges entered,

describing himself as President of Iraq

and refusing to give his name,

the 68-year-old former dictator glowered throughout,

even tussling with Iraqi guards who dared to seize his arm.

EXCLUSIVE: Ex confesses truth about THAT brawl

WHY I BEAT ENDER LOVER

By Sara Nuwar    NoW        6.11.2005

 

THE ex-lover of EastEnders star Steve McFadden

has lifted the lid on the moment

she sensationally attacked him outside her home.

 

Speaking for the first time

about the blazing bust-up that got her arrested last week,

Angela Bostock reveals how

her pent-up frustration exploded into a savage punch

that nearly floored the screen hardman.

 

"He's driven me over the edge,"

says Angela in a tearful interview

with the News of the World.

 

"I've never hit anyone in my life

but that day I had so much anger in me.

All the emotions came out.

 

"What flashed before me was the last ten years of my life,

all the abuse, the aggression and everything he put me through.

 

I walloped him in the head

with a punch he had taught me to use in self defence.

 

The power amazed me. He reeled backwards. He had it coming.

People will have read that it was a row over a stupid garage

—but it was about much more than that."

Those Lazy Jobless

 

SEPT. 21, 2014

The New York Times

The Opinion Pages | Op-Ed Columnist

Paul Krugman

 

Last week John Boehner, the speaker of the House, explained to an audience at the American Enterprise Institute what’s holding back employment in America: laziness. People, he said, have “this idea” that “I really don’t have to work. I don’t really want to do this. I think I’d rather just sit around.” Holy 47 percent, Batman!

It’s hardly the first time a prominent conservative has said something along these lines. Ever since a financial crisis plunged us into recession it has been a nonstop refrain on the right that the unemployed aren’t trying hard enough, that they are taking it easy thanks to generous unemployment benefits, which are constantly characterized as “paying people not to work.” And the urge to blame the victims of a depressed economy has proved impervious to logic and evidence.

But it’s still amazing — and revealing — to hear this line being repeated now. For the blame-the-victim crowd has gotten everything it wanted: Benefits, especially for the long-term unemployed, have been slashed or eliminated. So now we have rants against the bums on welfare when they aren’t bums — they never were — and there’s no welfare. Why?

First things first: I don’t know how many people realize just how successful the campaign against any kind of relief for those who can’t find jobs has been. But it’s a striking picture. The job market has improved lately, but there are still almost three million Americans who have been out of work for more than six months, the usual maximum duration of unemployment insurance. That’s nearly three times the pre-recession total. Yet extended benefits for the long-term unemployed have been eliminated — and in some states the duration of benefits has been slashed even further.

The result is that most of the unemployed have been cut off. Only 26 percent of jobless Americans are receiving any kind of unemployment benefit, the lowest level in many decades. The total value of unemployment benefits is less than 0.25 percent of G.D.P., half what it was in 2003, when the unemployment rate was roughly the same as it is now. It’s not hyperbole to say that America has abandoned its out-of-work citizens.

Strange to say, this outbreak of anti-compassionate conservatism hasn’t produced a job surge. In fact, the whole proposition that cruelty is the key to prosperity hasn’t been faring too well lately. Last week Nathan Deal, the Republican governor of Georgia, complained that many states with Republican governors have seen a rise in unemployment and suggested that the feds were cooking the books. But maybe the right’s preferred policies don’t work?

That is, however, a topic for another column. My question for today is instead one of psychology and politics: Why is there so much animus against the unemployed, such a strong conviction that they’re getting away with something, at a time when they’re actually being treated with unprecedented harshness?

Now, as anyone who has studied British policy during the Irish famine knows, self-righteous cruelty toward the victims of disaster, especially when the disaster goes on for an extended period, is common in history. Still, Republicans haven’t always been like this. In the 1930s they denounced the New Deal and called for free-market solutions — but when Alf Landon accepted the 1936 presidential nomination, he also emphasized the “plain duty” of “caring for the unemployed until recovery is attained.” Can you imagine hearing anything similar from today’s G.O.P.?

Is it race? That’s always a hypothesis worth considering in American politics. It’s true that most of the unemployed are white, and they make up an even larger share of those receiving unemployment benefits. But conservatives may not know this, treating the unemployed as part of a vaguely defined, dark-skinned crowd of “takers.”

My guess, however, is that it’s mainly about the closed information loop of the modern right. In a nation where the Republican base gets what it thinks are facts from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, where the party’s elite gets what it imagines to be policy analysis from the American Enterprise Institute or the Heritage Foundation, the right lives in its own intellectual universe, aware of neither the reality of unemployment nor what life is like for the jobless. You might think that personal experience — almost everyone has acquaintances or relatives who can’t find work — would still break through, but apparently not.

Whatever the explanation, Mr. Boehner was clearly saying what he and everyone around him really thinks, what they say to each other when they don’t expect others to hear. Some conservatives have been trying to reinvent their image, professing sympathy for the less fortunate. But what their party really believes is that if you’re poor or unemployed, it’s your own fault.

Two-time Oscar nominee Jude Law already can be seen

in "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"

and "I (Heart) Huckabees." Next comes "Alfie."

And soon he'll be in "Closer" and "The Aviator"

while supplying the title voice in "Lemony Snicket's

A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Hey, Jude, what's with all these films?

"It's not ideal for me that they come out all one

after the other in four or five months," says Law,

his brow furrowing a tad over those riveting blue eyes.

One of the most dangerous for Labour is a group almost entirely invisible in the national media, simply wiped off television and most newspaper front pages. I mean the older, socially concerned women - often religious, in a tolerant way; the signers of petitions and buyers of fair-trade products; prone to one-off campaigns; in general, the salt-of-the-earth sagacious ladies all around us. They are not hip. Advertisers aren't keen on them, so papers and magazines aren't moulded to appeal to them. Television executives don't expend sweat and wit wondering how to make them laugh. I suspect they don't fill the front rows of many focus groups either.

Yet, according to the Fawcett Society report tomorrow, the 8.8 million women over 55 are abnormally regular voters (67% voted in the 2001 election) and are drifting away from Labour. We know these women, don't we? They form nearly a fifth of the total electorate. A little more evidence fills the picture in. The Electoral Commission reports that these women are far more likely than men to help organise charity and voluntary work. These are the grey-haired, patient, hard-grafting do-gooders all round us. And they are royally pissed off with Blair.

Why all sorts of women fell out of love with New Labour,
If Blair can't convince female voters, the next election will be a disaster,

Make no mistake, plenty of people prefer the world as terror. The world as love is just too hard to take. Do Americans blame themselves for training up Bin Laden and the rest in a futile fight against Russia? Do they reflect on what they did to Afghanistan - a country that was slowly liberalising, before America used it as hard-line resistance to the Soviets?

Do we ask ourselves why we pay security guards so little that they can't be bothered to do their job? Do we wonder if capitalism and imperialism were the real co-pilots on those planes?

I am sick to the heart at a western world that will even consider bombing out desert people who are impoverished and illiterate. America talks about states that support terrorism, but these states are full of women and children, their animals, their livelihoods. Why should they be punished to maintain a world order in which they have no stake?

American and British foreign policy is not aimed at world peace; it is intended to enforce a particular kind of capitalism. We pay poor people no money in order to produce goods to support our lifestyle, and when some of those people come to hate everything that we stand for, we shout about wiping them out.

(...)

The west prides itself on its open democratic society, but if openness and democracy are what we value, then we need to export those values to countries that desperately need them. We will supply arms to anybody. Where is our support for those men and women who are trying to modernise their countries - to bring books and education and emancipation to people who live in fear of being flogged or killed?

Forgive but don't forget:
There are only three possible endings to any story: revenge, tragedy, forgiveness.
We need to forgive,

Our destination: a Britain where,

in a world of change,

everyone not just a few gets the chance to succeed.

For me, the large majority we won

was never a reason to do the job quickly;

but to do it properly.

We knew: first base was getting the fundamentals

in place.

We said we would sort the economy out. We have.

The strongest British economy for decades,

delivered by this New Labour government.

We said we'd get people off benefit and into work.

We are. 1 million more jobs.

We said we'd invest in schools and hospitals.

It is happening.

And because we chose to invest;

because we have in this country tens of thousands

of dedicated hard working teachers

as determined as we are to give every child a chance

to succeed, last week, Britain had the best primary

school results it has ever seen.

(...)

And in the next stage we need to do more.

Because the pace of change will quicken.

It's not just poorer families that need help.

To give everyone the chance to succeed,

right in the heartlands of middle Britain,

there are families and businesses

that will need that helping hand.

Blair's speech, part one:
'It's no wonder the government has taken a knock',
