WPC Yvonne Fletcher

This Dispatches documentary shows how Yvonne Fletcher could not have been shot from the Libyan Embassy, and reveals the Berlin based mercenaries paid by the CIA (or similar) to kill a police officer to unite public opinion against Col Gaddaffi. It even persuaded MargaretThatcher to allow US bomber planes to use UK bases for their raids on Tripoli. Had the US been successful in killing Gaddaffi then, rich Libyans friendly to Western oil interests could have taken over government in Libya, securing the oil and keeping the petro dollar going.

Planet cf household

It can be trite to compare the planet to a household. Margaret Thatcher used to compare the UK to a household and critics found it simplistic, amongst other things, but:

In your household, I suspect you are all trying to work together towards a common aim (or someone's trying to make that happen). Everyone's share of the work is (theoretically) part of achieving the household's aim. No-one's creating work just so someone can do it. In fact you're trying to minimise household work and share it out evenly.

Apart from scale, why is the planet any different?
