He may be a KGB man, and autocratic, and responsible for awful things, but he's no worse than anyone else on his scene. & he has dog, and like many of us had a kathurlick education.

Mr Putin has yesterday given extensive interviews to the spanish press in which he talked about the dirty un-hygience brits and their spies, butter, the colour green, nuclear power, and how he really believes that in time of religious tension, commercial media ought exercise restraint.

He's also decided both ZP and Aznar are great leaders.

He isn't talking about the "crack-down" on MI6 front human rights organisations, or the rash of rasta wearing ozzy pacifists on the streets of Moscow. But for the moment, spaniards and catalans are welcome in Russia this summer for the g8 "energy conference.

& so we're going.

if you'd like to see Russia and don't have dredds or an australian or british passport, you can find details of our Russia Gigs here:-

"Reclaim the debate! Resist the G8! In July 2006, the G8 will hold its annual Summit in St.Petersburg, Russia. Vladimir Putin says he's placing "energy security" at the top of the G8 agenda during Russia's presidency. The G8 countries consume 45% of world oil and produce 47% of global CO2 emissions. Their "energy security" is our energy grave!
Yes Indeed, we're going to Russia - details @

Mr Putin of course doesn't come to Europe much. He likes to promote a "Euro 3" alliance of France, Germany and Spain, and the last time he said anything really specific on what he wants from us all, 60 years after the end of WW2 was when he met the supreme wookie in Bratislava. Of course Bush wasn't being a wookie that week he was on "the angel of the lord buzz".

For your files here's a photo of Mr Putin with his dog, and Mr Blair n and if you look carefully in the background you'll see fake trees with Brit spies in them.

And as a bonus extra, a picture of mr Putin as kid, when he was still very devout and kathurlick.

Mr Putin's doggy and Mr Blair's fake trees before we made poverty historic at G8 2005

vlad putin as a kiddy when still a kathurlick and his great career as KGB numero uno were undreamt of.

because he has refused to meet Spanish business interests.
aint that sweet? And he has said that Europe (led by the unrepentant nazis austria) must not cut funding to Palestine.

If you look closely at the picture, I think you'll see one of them rocks that MI6 like to toss around. The kind with transmitters in them.

For the stupid people out there (like me) the creature to the right of Putin, in the background is his dog, not the creature to the left of him, as I'd first thought. The creature to the left of Putin is most assuredly Bush's dog.

If I can develop the readies, I'll see ya in Russia this Summer.

Vlad one has gone, and in his wake we have several little titbits of interest to both the leftie in general and the bolshie in particular.

in their joint statement on the "danish cartoon war" Vlad one and ZP had this to say :-

"this is a question of sensibility and respect".

I'm sure that will find resonance. for me coz I use the word "sensibility" http://www.indymedia.ie/article/74056
and of course for the bolsheviks coz they use "respect".

And of course Putin is inviting Hamas to Moscow and this morning Jordan expressed its support whilst the israeli state voiced its concern. "nothing wrong with that".

Now before, not many people knew about "the alliance of civilisation" thing & how its supposed to work. I'd ask you to read the article and ask yourself the questions "where you live" "what you believe" "any eating requirements" they may seem trite but they're important. Turkey is the co-sponsor of the project, and thought most EU states haven't come on side, we do have support in the mediterranean region where after all many of the problems of "neighbourly behaviour" come in. But the last days with Vlad one have not been without topics for concern. the King reminded us all that we really need (like really need) a friendly russia sending us gas. Not us in ireland or spain (we get cheapo gas elsewhere) but the majority of EU citizens in central and eastern europe. And the "down-side" Spain and ZP "and all who sail with her" have supported a return of the "cold war balance" in the Levant and near Asia, but with a human rights price - Chechnya.

Now I believe this "low key" very microleft influenced project will in teh fullness of time offer us more than Bono of U2 and the Queen Noor of Jordan doing CNN chatshows together. Bono without the sunglasses and Noor without the veil. But that's coz I live in the real world. So I'm still supporting the "alliance of civilisation" and guess what?

Iran is not in it.

So FUCK IRAN.

Any state which sponsers and incites street violence not only in its own territory but beyond in the name of insult by a European state demanding censorship which subsequently denies the Holocaust {in which millions of European citizens were denied their citizenship, educational qualifications, homes, jobs, put to enforced labour, tatooed, starved and subject to experimentation and then murdered systematically} in its _own press_ is not a state which may be allowed to screen a labour force (unionised or not) to work in, build, maintain, or secure a nuclear facility for the simple reason that : a state which censors foreign media & internet is responsible alone for the conditioning of hatred, prejudice and xenophobia amongst its own population or labour-force.

the Holocaust was and is a European issue.
