NEVER!

BBC News: Reports on a new idea out of EU, that they should have tax raising powers. This can not be allowed to happen, the Coalition Government in its agreement agreed that any new powers for EU would have to be approved by Referendum. The Conservative Party would never wear giving more powers to the EU, the Lib Dems might want to be run by EU but they are low in the polls and can not afford this kind of political landmine. It can be postulated that the UK will kill this idea, otherwise the idea will kill the UK Coalition.

Coalition Government in the UK

Daily Mail: Reports on the good working relationship between the Coalition PM David Cameron and his Deputy Nick Clegg, the leader of the Liberal Democrats. The bad news on the horizon is the fact that the Lib Dems have been taking a hit in the polls while the Conservatives are still over 40% in most polls. The real hard time for the Liberal Democrats will come with the public spending cuts, the Conservative and Labour Parties are used to being hated, not so for the Lib Dems, they will be seen as the weak point of the coalition and thus can expect the left wing media to go after them, in political terms Nick Clegg has no more options, he has to make this Coalition work, there is no chance of a deal with Labour, so the Lib Dems have to sink or swim with the Conservative Party.

Sherlock

Guardian: What is Sunday night going to be like without the world’s first Consulting Detective, it was a great final, but you cant leave the audience for a year without a resolution, BBC get back to work, new series and quick if you want this blog to support the BBC in keeping the licence fee. Mr Holmes and Dr Watson what a team! “ There is an East Wind Coming Watson….” - Sir ACD.
 

Public Spending Cuts in the UK

Guardian: Reports on the Departmental fights with the UK Government when it comes to public spending cuts and funding, in Defence leaks we have seen that the RAF could be down World War 1 levels, on Welfare reform there have been leaks that the Secretary of State will resign if he does not get the money to change the corrupt system, at Education we have seen announced cuts but also the debate as to how to fund a programme to help the poorer children. It is simple folks, as Yes Minister stated the more money you have to spend in a Department the more important the Department is in Whitehall but also the importance of the Secretary of State. The UK Treasury wants cuts of between 25% to 40% as to cut the Government debt, a lot of Departments under Labour spent money like a drunken sailor, thus a rearguard action to keep cuts to each department at a lower level, but if the UK economy is to return to the black there has to bee deep and hard cuts, it has to hurt folks, otherwise we will go like Greece, and that would be a disaster, the cuts would be forced on us from the IMF or even worse the US. Thus cut NOW, and get our self respect back, we once had an Empire for God Sake.

The Democrats lose the PLOT!

Telegraph: Reports on a desperate political strategy by the US Democrats, they are going to blame the present economic mess in the US on Bush 43. Message to Democrats, get a life, or go beyond the US Capital, the US voter is angry that President Obama pushed through health care reform with the support of the US voter, he bailed out the car industry, his economic plan didn’t prevent unemployment going beyond 8%. The White House has fallen in to the trap of believing its own press statements, it has spent two years going after Bush 43 but its two years, the economy is the Obama economy, the failures in Afghanistan are Obama’s War. If Democrats really believe that attacking Bush 43 will save them Congress they are in a world of hurt.

North Korea Again!

BBC News: Reports that North Korea has detained a South Korea fishing ship. In other words folks North Korea has thrown a small fit, lets see if this goes to Trial. The West/South Korea and North Korea are in a never ending standoff, North Korea cant take action due to the fact that South Korea falls under the protection of the United States and the Obama Administration cant take action due to the fact that North Korea is a nuclear armed power with a million man Army on the border between North and South Korea. This is why Iran must never get the bomb folks, they could attack Israel and wipe out the Israeli state and take the punishment from the US and still survive. This is all about Iran folks never forget that important fact.
