I suppose I see James Cosmo as being a bit serious. Can believe Crowe could be funny. Passed Sanjeev Kohli in Gt Western Rd yesterday.

There’s a bit of a story behind the second time but the firestorm was in the Boy’s Club in Stirling. He was filming Kidnapped. I ran for his fags. 20 Peter Stuyvesant. Second time was in Euston Station. He was really nice (for an old Tory). He pretended to remember me from the Boy’s Club.

Palestinian Women 'Raped by Israeli Soldiers.' Silence From Western Media Powerful new testimony reveals Western hypocrisy is alive and well – rape is only a crime and an outrage when it serves Western political interests.

Palestinian Women 'Raped by Israeli Soldiers.' And the western media? Nothing. A deafening silence. As always. zeteo.com/p/palestinia...
