Guardian: Has an exclusive, it is reporting on a escalation of the War in Libya, both the UK and France are going to send Apache helicopters in to the Libyan operational theatre. This is risky folks, helicopters can be shot down, this shows how both London and Paris are getting fed up with the lack of progress in Libya. The Eastern Rebels are still stuck in Libya, the Capitol Tripoli is still under control of the Colonel Gaddafi, and Misrata is still being fired on by Gaddafi security forces. At the end of the day folks the Allies of the UK, France and even the US will have to place ground troops in Libya to finish the job. In the US the Oval is coming under pressure for breaking the War Powers Resolution Act that states that US Presidents after sixty days have to get the green light from Congress to carry on military operations, Obama seems to think that the law does not apply to him. Thus Libya could be a serious political problem for the Allies if Gaddafi is still around at the end of the year.
A look at the Politics of the United States and the UK. The Foreign Policies of both countries and how they behave in the International Community.

No Debt Restructuring = Greece
Telegraph: Reports that Greece will not seek debt restructuring on its multi billion debt, but will get tougher on its austerity programme. What price the Euro folks, the political elite in Greece seem more interested in protecting tax payers of Germany and France than their own people. If the Greek people don’t want to spend the next decade on their knees in economic terms they have to get out of the Euro. The EU and Greek Government had a choice, it could start afresh with Greece out of the Euro or it could throw good money in the toilet or burn it, the same result folks. This wont work, why should the poor people of Greece made to pay for the lies of its Government. Time for peaceful protest folks, and that’s PEACEFUL, otherwise the riot police should be tough. The elite of Greece have betrayed their own people, SHAME on them.
POTUS in Republic of Ireland
BBC News: Reports on the arrival of President Obama in Ireland. Well folks there is an election next year, so far looking at the Republic side one has to say that if your in charge of the Chicago re-election committee you would have a smile on your face, most of the expected Republican runners have dropped out, and Governor Romney can be asked a very tough question by Obama, why should Massachusetts have RomneyCare, while Romney wants to repeal ObamaCare. The issue of health care and the debt is central to the Tea Party movement in the US, and on health Romney has not stated that he was wrong, thus the Irish trip is a good political move by POTUS, while the Republicans in fight the Oval can look Presidential.

Might have been driving = Chris Huhne
Mail on Sunday: Reports that the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne will tell Police he might have been driving but cant remember on the day of the penalty points offence. It seems the Mail on Sunday has the Secretary of State bang to rights, they have a photo of the penalty points as given to Vicky Price his estranged wife, since it seems highly unlikely that Ms Price was in the car due to distance on the day it is down to the Secretary of State to prove its was not him, the police just from reading general evidence just might have a case.
Second Driving Points Allegation = Chris Huhne
Telegraph: Reports that the separated Wife of the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has alleged that the Secretary of State had another person take driving penalty points for him. At what point do Lib Dems cut bait, one can postulate that the separated wife, Vicky Pryce is out to destroy Mr Huhne, thus how much damage will PM David Cameron allow Mr Huhne to inflict on the Coalition Government before he tells his DPM Clegg to finish off his colleague, in other words sack him, the issues around the Secretary of State are becoming a real distraction. How much drip drip allegations does it take for Mr Huhne to go back ot the backbenches.
Another Scandal for Huhne ?
BBC News: Reports on the allegation that the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne overspent on his election expenses in 2010. If Mr Huhne was any other Minister he would have been shown the door a long time ago, but it suit’s the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to have a wounded Mr Huhne still in the Cabinet, he cant be a problem on the backbenches and wont challenge Mr Huhne for the leadership of the Lib Dems. Lets see if the allegations around Mr Huhne have any legs, if the police find he transferred his driving points he will have to resign.
Rebel Flesh = Doctor Who
The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that Doctor Who was the top show for the BBC on Saturday, it was the top drama of the day, it gained 5.7 million viewers. Lets recall folks these are overnight numbers, the figures should go up if you add those that have recorded the show for later viewing, we are all Time Lords in some respects. As to Rebel Flesh, it was a show that made you concentrate on the details, and who was talking, having doubles around was interesting, as the 10th Doctor said, the biggest monsters are humans. It was nice to see Rory getting some female attention, Amy can be a bit of a monster, she expects Rory to be there while she worries about the Doctor in so many ways! ( As a bloke we all have had that, it’s a pain! ). The Lady with the patch turned up again! Who is she? The general opinion is she is the midwife to Amy’s baby/child, as in episode 1 that baby/child turned out to be Time Lord, one has to ask who is the father, is it Rory the Roman or an errant Time Lord and his Type 40 TARDIS. It was very interesting idea to deal with the issue of slavery and modern science, is a clone a person if they develop their own soul, the idea is not new, Star Trek Voyager and their own Doctor dealt with the issue, it will be interesting to see how this goes. Also one gets the idea that the doubles are an early version of one of the Doctor Who’s favourite enemies, have a guess, clue, a general brain working through synthetic material, work it out! Or see episode 1, series 1 of the new generation of Doctor Who, Rose. When IS River coming back, Mrs Robinson WOW.
