Summer of Discontent - Public Sector STRIKES

Telegraph: Reports that 750,000 workers in the public sector could go on strike on June 30th. This is a disgrace folks, the public sector has grown fat after the spending of Labour between 1997 - 2010, in 2006 the UK Treasury stated to the Cabinet under Tony Blair that it had spent all this money and what had it got for it, in other words, not a lot, the Treasury argued that any future spending should be in line with inflation, Gordon Brown spent like a drunk sailor , thus the present economic problems faced by the UK. The Coalition Government should stand firm, it should be like Lady Thatcher, tell the Unions to bring on the strikes and face them down, even start sacking people, hire those that are unemployed and can do the jobs that the public sector don’t want do, stand firm PM Cameron.

Obama and Libyan War

CNN News: Reports that Democrats and Republicans are to take President Obama to Court over his War in Libya. Under the War Powers Resolution Act of 1973 after sixty days of military action a US President has to get a green light from Congress, the Obama Administration has broke that law some time ago. On this issue as stated in this blog the Oval is right to tell Congress to jump off a cliff, you cant have five hundred members of Congress, in the House and the Senate deciding Foreign Policy, the running of Wars is down the President of the United States, he is the Commander in Chief of US Armed Forces. The Libyan operation is a NATO operation of the Allies of the US, UK and France, also its under UN Security Council Resolution 1973. If any Republicans are part of this anti War group they should be ashamed, Reagan would have denounced them from the roof tops, also they would never have done such a thing to Reagan or JFK.

General Strike and Violence in Greece

Guardian: Reports on the General Strike in Greece, this had lead to violence near the Greek Parliament. This is what happens when you are broke and you have to follow the demands of the EU and the IMF, the Greek people have the right to protest, but they are protesting about the wrong thing, they are protesting about the harsh austerity package demanded by the EU/IMF, what they should be demanding is that Greece leaves the Euro and takes control of its own economy. The Greek economy is a dodo, the good years of wasteful spending are over, time for Greece to remember its ancient past, be wise and cut bait. The Police should treat harshly those protesters who break the law, its important that the political process respected.

Just Default for God’s Sake! = Greece

Telegraph: Reports that the cost of a ten year loan to Greece has gone up to 17.9 on the money markets. If it was not sad for Greece it would be funny folks, the EU/IMF are planning another loan to Greece, this time of 120 Billion Euros. One can postulate that clever people in EU and IMF have their heads in the sand, Greece cant pay the first loan back, now more debt on its endless debt. There is only one solution to the Greek Trojan horse, that is for Greece to leave the Euro and return to its own currency, and then get support form the EU/IMF because it wont get any loans form the market if it defaults. The EU politicians are a missing a important point, by trying to protect the Euro in every Euro Country they just might break currency. The Greek debt problem could be the Trojan horse that breaks the Euro.

UK Unemployment down to 7.7%

BBC News: Reports that the UK unemployment rate has fallen from 7.9% to 7.7%, the jobless rate went down by eighty eight thousand, the biggest drop since 2000. No wonder “ Red ” Ed Miliband had to use cancer as a political weapon, the Labour economic agenda can be proven to be wrong, should inflation and unemployment rate stay low then Labour will have a very remote chance of winning the next election in 2015. If President Obama has a rate of 7.7% of unemployment he would hold a Party in Washington D.C. At present the US rate is at 9.1%, and Obama is following in many respects the Labour policy of spending, that is why he might be a one term President.

The Shame of Labour - Cancer as a Political Weapon


Gudio Fawkes’ Blog: Reports that the PMQs in which Labour Leader Ed Milliband used cancer sufferers as a political ploy was a set up. The spokesman for the Charity that gave Labour the details of their research is a former Labour candidate, and had been warmed up to defend the attack on the news. How much in the gutter can Ed Miliband go, stabs in own brother in the back and now is using a charity that does good work as a weapon rather than have to defend his appalling leadership of Labour. The problem with “ Red ” Ed is that he might be good on the tactical front but is full of hot air when it comes to strategic thinking. This is the leader that declared that New Labour was over, and that the Blair/Brown Era finished. At least Tony Blair won three elections, and for a time Gordon Brown was seen as a successful Chancellor, what has Ed Miliband ever done for the Country, but give us the soap opera of his relationship with his brother. GROW UP Ed.
