Coalition Split over Welfare Reform ?

Guardian: Reports of a backlash by Coalition MPs to the further welfare cuts by the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. When you read the article it’s the usual left wing Liberal Democrat MPs, always the usual suspects. The Guardian should be careful it does not become another Daily Mirror, the hacking story is Labour spin, the above story is an attempt to cause problems for the Coalition Government and to the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg. At its essence the Guardian, Mirror, Independent believe in BIG government, even when the money has run out, even Tony Blair has not time for these left wing elites.

Who is Don Draper?

Telegraph: A short profile of Jon Hamm the actor who plays Don Draper in Mad Men, the article has the nicest line on Mr Hamn, the article states the following, “ the only indecent thing about Hamm was his happy marriage ”. It can be fair to say that the article writer is a bit of a fan of Don Draper, what guy does not want to be Don Draper when he grows up, what girl does not want to date Don Draper!! Lets get back to the series, the fourth season has started on the BBC, the first episode was “ Who is Don Draper ? ”, it was fantastic, quick but also showed the arc of the characters developing, Don didn’t get the girl at the end, it was a nice scene for Mr Hamm, he could show Don getting the fact that while he has not lost it with women it is no longer a direct from coffee to bed!! I was thinking of Mr Hamm to play Ronald Reagan in the biopic next year, he could take the role from when Reagan become Governor of California through the rest of his life.

The Royal Mail BLACKMAIL

BBC News: Reports that the Royal Mail will either be sold or privatised as to make it more efficient and profitable, the move is opposed by the CWU, the postal union. This story recalled a story in the memoirs of Lord Peter Mandelson ( The Third Man, Life at the Hart of New Labour. P 478-480), while he was Business Secretary a first report by Richard Hooper also suggested moderate reform of the Royal Mail, even Gordon Brown who had opposed reform while Chancellor supported the move, but the Trade Union is a big donor to Labour and in essence blackmailed Labour MPs that they would not get any cash to fight the forthcoming election, the plan was dropped due to Union pressure. Lets hope the Coalition Government does not buckle under Union pressure, in the age of the internet the Royal Mail has to reform or go out of business in the near future.

The VOTER Backlash - Coalition Government

Telegraph: Reports on comments by the DPM Nick Clegg the Leader of the Liberal Democrats that the Coalition Government will face a voter backlash due to the public spending cuts. This might not be true folks, the UK voter can see the real world, there have to cuts, the Government is 155 billion in debt, between tax revenue and spending. Its not that there will be cuts, its how they are managed, if the voter can see that the Coalition is dealing with the cuts in a fair manner, they will get respect if not cheers, thus down the line in 2015 they just might get re- elected. That is the game of politics folks.

15 Billion WELFARE Cuts

BBC News: Reports that the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has stated that a further 4 billion in welfare will be cut on top of the previous announced 11 Billion. All EU and even the US after President Obama is defeated in 2012 will have to scale back welfare, with the funding of the Old Age pensions and health costs the Western world can not afford to support the work shy or more one parent families, the system has to be redrawn, its simple folks, you cant tax at 100% to support welfare, the system will self explode if no reforms. Thus the Conservative or Coalition Governments in the US and the EU will have to take drastic unpopular decisions, otherwise down the line there will be no money, the good days are over folks, those 1960s drugs of lose living and welfare is coming to an end.

Reagan MOVIE

Guardian: Reports that a film biopic on the life of Ronald Reagan is to made in the US. Lets hope Hollywood does not take pot shots at the late President, his election in 1980 was a great turning point for the US and the West. After the Reagan two terms had come to and end, the Cold War was over, the USSR was on the way to the dustbin of history, Eastern Europe had been released from the grip of Moscow and the USSR. The 80s in economic terms was a great success, Reagan cut the taxes of Americans, thus the economic boom and low unemployment. My fellow Conservatives lets keep an eye on this project, the Gipper protected us, lets make sure we protect his historical reputation.

2nd Book Launch by Tony Blair CANCELLED

BBC News: Reports that former Labour PM Tony Blair has cancelled a second related book event to celebrate the launch of his autobiography. It seems that Tony Blair is running scared of those that still protesting at his Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this is not what Lady Thatcher would have done, the great Lady would have marched ahead and dared the protesters to stop her, that is leadership.
