Sarah's Key

There is a new film that has just come out called Sarah's Key with Kristin Scott Thomas in the lead role. It is the best film that has come out for ages and is based on a journalist's research into what happened to a little Parisian jewish girl whose parents were gassed by the Nazis. It is a reminder that there is still anti-semitism in the world and that there is a continuing need for vigilance and action against it. The timing of the film is apposite in light of the upcoming Durban 111 conference sponsored by the UN which is inherently anti-semitic according to Benjamin Weinthal in a most interesting article in the Commentator today  http://www.thecommentator.com/article/353/where_is_europe_in_the_fight_against_un_sponsored_anti_semitism_. The UK should follow Canada's example and pull out of the conference. One wonders how, unlike Canada, we came to attend Durbans 1 and 11 in the first place. It surely can't be because we had a Labour government then. Talking about the Labour government reminds one of mad dog Gordon Brown. He has an article in the Independent today in which he says he warned EU leaders about their bank debt levels but they ignored him. Pity he didn't take his own advice.
