Lets Get Real:

Some good news for the Conservatives, they are ahead in two polls, but the lead is not enough, and by now the Conservatives should be leading by a mile, they are not, thus as has been stated by weeks by this blog and others we will see a minority Labour Government held up by the SNP.    The question is what price that Labour will pay to get No 10.   The Liberal Democrats have made it clear they will not support a coalition that is supported by the SNP.   Thus for us political geeks we will have a minority Labour Government needing vote by vote support by the SNP, the Country might go to hell but the politics will be fun. 

The Russian Bear hacks the White House - Modern Warfare

BBC News: Reports " Russian hackers who gained access to the White House computer system last year were able to read President Obama's unclassified emails, the New York Times has reported. "

Lets Get Real:

This is the price you pay for modern technology, nothing is hack proof, if you have the money and the brains most systems have flaws.   The article does not say if the hack was private or by the Russian intelligence system.  One would guess that it would be the Russian intelligence agencies, trying to work out what the Obama Oval was thinking about when it came to East Ukraine.   That is the problem with information technology, systems go out of date quite fast, what was the best one year becomes antique by the next.   The West has to be on its guard, hacks can come from Russia, China, Iran or even North Korea, thus money has to be spent on systems, it safeguards systems and also creates employment.
