‘Dishonest’ UN is being used to condemn Israel

Happens with other school buses. Since my daughter has gone back to All Saints her bus is supposed to come at 8.07am. It has been coming at 8am a few times which means she has missed it. They are supposed to wait until the correct time before setting off. Sir Jeremy Isaacs, TV producer and former general director of the Royal Opera House

Hilary Duff, actress and singer, OUR world is a scary place right now.

The news is dominated by the plight of the Rohingya in Myanmar, the continuing disaster in Syria and the prospect of all-out war on the Korean peninsula.

The United Nations was created with the noble aim of maintaining international peace and security and you would therefore think that these issues would be dominating its agenda.

Sadly not, while our world appears to be spiralling into chaos the UN chooses to condemn the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel.

Some of the resolutions passed by the United Nations in recent times are truly shocking.

While Palestinian women were being murdered and subjugated for the sake of male honour, while Iranian women were being stoned to death for adultery and while Sudanese women were forced to give birth with their legs shackled for being Christian; the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women condemned Israel for violating the rights of women!

The United Nations Human Rights Council whose membership includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Venezuela passed 20 resolutions critical of Israel, whilst Iran, Syria and North Korea merited just one mention each.

Perhaps the most risible resolution was passed at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco). They decided to rewrite history and support a resolution, submitted by the Palestinians, that ignored Judaism’s ties to the religion’s holiest site, the Western Wall.

It’s clear that the UN is being used by rogue states and other actors to corrupt the goals that it was set up to achieve.

Our country must play its part in making the United Nations honest again and reminding it of its noble objectives.

The supplier condemned her gas fire, so now she can’t use it. The morning after she found her immersion heater no longer worked, so that meant the central heating wasn’t working. A call to her energy supplier, and after being on hold for ten minutes, they informed me that “the immersion heater must have been on it’s way out.”

They did offer to send out an electrician but, of course, there would be a charge and advised me that it would be cheaper to find my own.

We now have to purchase a new gas fire, find a gas engineer and also find an electrician.

But never mind, the smart meter is working fine.
