Shut Up France - DPM Clegg

Guardian Live - Euro: Reports in its 7.26pm post that the Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg in essence told France to shut up about the credit agencies downgrading the UK credit rating. There is hope for Nick Clegg yet folks, the DPM stood up for the UK, telling the French PM that the actions of the French has been wrong. The Liberal Democrats as a Party have to learn that the UK is in no way pro Europe, in fact if it could become a the 51st State of the US with the Queen as head that would get a majority vote. Well done Mr Clegg.

France = Negative Forecast

Telegraph Live - Euro: Reports that Fitch Credit Agency has kept the French Triple A rating but given it a negative forecast. It is rumoured folks that S&P will downgrade France after the Market closes in the US. If France does go down to AA rating this could finish the hopes of the French President of winning the 2012 Presidential Election, thus expect more attacks on the UK folks, when it comes to politics folks it’s the last man standing that wins, brutal but harsh. As noted in the Guardian yesterday, if the French lose the triple A standing it will cost them more to borrow from the market, thus affect their ability to fund a bailout of the PIIGS, everything is local folks.

The Republican Debate - Review

BBC News: Reports both Governor Romney and former Speaker Newt Gingrich came under attack at the Republican Debate, Romney on his Conservative record and Gingrich on taking money from a Federal Agency. As stated in my tweets of the debate the winner in the view of this blog was Newt Gingrich, but Romney didn’t do any harm to his chances either, the one candidate that was out there folks was Congressman Paul, he was to the left of Obama when it came to Iran, there no chance of Paul winning the Republican Nomination. This was the last debate before the Iowa vote folks, NOW the candidates have to meet the voters, in Iowa they like to kick the tires of the candidates as the saying goes, when the good people of Iowa vote it’s a cold January night, thus the Candidates have to create passion for their campaign, Paul will be in the top three, as to 1 and 2, its between Gingrich and Romney folks, couple of interesting weeks ahead folks.
