• LENIN’S TOMB: The wild cat strikes are <strike>not</strike> racist – Those few who are raising slogans like 'British jobs for British workers' need to sort their arguments out, because they're wrong and they're misleading, and they seriously damage the prospects for solidarity. What's more, they got that slogan from Gordon Brown, and that itself should warn them that there's something wrong with it. This is not about foreign labour as such – the vast majority of these workers have no problem working alongside migrant workers. And the decision to refuse local workers access to those jobs has nothing to do with the company involved being nice and pleasantly multicultural. Nor is it about labour shortages, as there are plenty of skilled workers available to the employers at the Lindsey oil refinery. Nor is it even about cheap labour in this case, although there have been attempts to use cheap labour to run down conditions in the past.

• The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب: On the Turkish role – I received so many links about the scene of the Turkish prime minister in Davos. It would have been more impressive if the close political, military, and intelligence relations between Turkey and Israel are suspended. Short of that, the scene is a gimmick. Of course, you may say but it is better than the performance of Arab governments. That is true: but a monkey dancing while wearing a dress is a better performance than Arab governments. A potato would lead the Arab League better than the buffonish, Amr Mousa.
