Let Brown be Brown - Guardian
Guardian: Interesting article that in essence asks for PM Gordon Brown to be allowed to be Gordon Brown, the article states the following, " Brown is a bruised and bloodied figure, one whose greatest asset might well be his own stubborn resilience...". Lets be honest here folks, PM Brown makes Richard Nixon look like a rock star, even Nixon after the 1960 election got the fact that he had to be good at PR, even those critical of Nixon have admitted that when it came to Foreign Policy he was a Master, he had no real interest in domestic policy, thus he was quite liberal. But after 1960 election Nixon made sure he was the master of PR, thus his election in 1968 and his 49 State win in 1972. The problem for the Brown Camp is that they are allowing Brow to be Brown, he is dull, his jokes fall flat, and his want to say " I agree with Nick " was a disaster, why vote for Brown if the other guy has all the good ideas. Thus it is a good idea to keep Brown in PM mode, he is not good with people, it looks forced to say the least. The Labour Party has to think about its future, make sure they have more seats in the House of Commons that the Conservative Party and then get a deal with the Liberal Democrats, the price might be the sacking of Brown.
Belgium Falling Apart - Good
The Daily Telegraph: Reports that Belgium could dissolve due to ethnic tensions. One word folks, Good, the UK has come to the aide of Belgium in two World Wars, and how did Belgium repay this debt, during the first Gulf War they would not supply MOD with needed equipment. To think that the UK lost millions of its Armed Forces Personnel to get slapped in the face by a suppose Ally, they did say sorry in the end, not good enough, lets hope flat Belgium becomes the joke of Europe.
2nd UK Election Debate - 2010
BBC News: Reports on the political buildup to the 2nd leaders debate in the UK Election. As the second debate is on Foreign Affairs expect PM Gordon Brown not to say " I agree with Nick ( Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats ) a lot, on Foreign Affairs there is a channel between Labour and Liberal Democrats, from Iraq to the UK's nuclear defence, also on these issues David Cameron could say " I agree with the Prime Minister " just don't expect DC to say that during the hour and half debate. Lets recall folks from our American cousins, in 1984 President Reagan had a awful first debate with VP Walter Mondale, in the second debate the age question came up and Reagan made a joke of how young Mondale was, the election was over, Reagan won 49 States and 59% of the vote vote. Lets be honest PM Brown is not great at PR, he tried a joke last week at the expense of the Conservative Party, it fell flat, by flat it was not show that much in after the debate. As to young Mr Clegg ( always follow the lead of the Gipper ) this will be tougher for Clegg, he will have to defend the LibDems and their policy to get rid of UK's nuclear arsenal, they seem to trust Obama, go and ask the Czech Republican and Poland if you can trust Obama. This blog will do a live tweet of the debate folks, just click the link on this page to my Twitter Page. As for prediction of winners, if Clegg doe not make a mistake then he could win the second debate, David Cameron has to up his game, go after Clegg and Brown, as for Gordon Brown, well lets be kind, he knows details.
