The Labour FAILURE in 2015 - Post 2015 Election

Mail on Sunday: Reports " 'Stop behaving like bloody children. We've got an election to win': New evidence of the feuds behind Labour's meltdown - and the moment an aide read the riot act to Miliband, Balls and Douglas Alexander  "

Lets Get Real:

Thank God the above crowd did not win the last election, it would have seen the return of the Blair and Brown years of warfare, the Labour Party has to get over New Labour period, yes they won three elections but the bad blood in Labour goes on.    A new leader needs to follow the agenda of Blair but also keep the Labour Party in the centre, its is difficult when in the Southern England the Labour Party was thrashed, and in Scotland the Labour Party now has only 1 MP, the same as the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives, the Southern voters want a UK government to be tough on welfare while Scottish voters want to end to the era of austerity.   The Labour Party can only win power again when it works out how to have Scottish and Southern English voters voting for them, its not easy voter. 

Make Greece Pay its Bills - Greek Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Greece's prime minister has warned international creditors not to impose humiliating terms on his country as it seeks urgently needed bailout funds. "

Lets Get Real:

Lets stop playing this GAME with Greece, their economy is in the toilet, the Greek government over the years have taken bad management of the economy, the Greek people expect something for nothing, this has to end.   The Greek economic books were cooked as to allow Greece in to Euro, thus far its taking billions just to keep Greece in place, time to cut the cord, tell them they are out of the Euro, and if they want to stay in the EU, they must developed their own money, have a economy that actually runs on real economic levels.    The Greeks have been drinking from EU funds for long enough, lets send them to economic rehab. 

Obama on Ukraien and Russia - Ukraine Crisis

CNN - Politics: Reports " ... President Barack Obama will urge his European counterparts to extend the economic sanctions on Russia that have weakened the Ruble and caused some discontent among the Russian population, administration officials said Thursday. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russian economy has taken a hit and the Russian people have felt the results but President Putin is playing the Russian card, he wants people to recall that he took back the Crimea and is on the way of re-taking back the Ukraine.   Let's recall with the end of USSR the Russian people lost an Empire almost overnight.   They were a super power, an equal of the US, now their economy is only kept up by the oil sales.   The price of oil has gone down, this has caused further problems for Putin, thus his seeking adventure outside Russia, the Russian people can take a lot, this has been shown in World War 1, were they finally broke after years of failure  and thus the Revolution, but more important in World War 2 they did not break and stalled and push the Germany Army back to Berlin.  It is just a matter of finding their breaking point and crushing it, harsh but simple. 

The Russian BEAR is on the MOVE - Ukraine Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " Nato accuses Russia of supplying advanced weaponry to rebel fighters as Ukraine’s president warns his country to expect a ‘full-scale invasion’ ..."

Lets Get Real:

This is Munich 1938 all over again, the West dithers while the threat grows, sanctions are not working on the Russian bear, the Russian bear needs his claws chopped off or those claws will start to make paw prints in Finland, Baltic States, and Poland, then the balloon will go up, the Obama Oval will have no were to hide.  It is better to be tough now than when it to late.   The Ukraine could be eaten up piece by piece by Russia, then Europe could face its gravest crisis since the Cuban missile Crisis of 1962, and this time no secret deal would prevent a war.   Time for the Oval Office to grown a spine and fight the Russian bear. 

The Ukraine Crisis Again - Ukraine Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " Ukraine’s president warns army to be ready to repel 'full scale' Russian invasion...Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian president, warns of "full scale" Russian invasion in eastern Ukraine, where at least 26 people have died in renewed fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels  "

Lets Get Real:

The CRISIS in the Ukraien is the one crisis that keeps this blog awake at night, it  only needs a drunk Russian officer to start a whole War in the Ukraine.   The Putin Kremlin wants to take over the entire Ukraine, they see the Ukraine as their backyard and Russian.    The West has to be firm with Moscow about the Ukraine, the NATO members do not want Putin breathing down the neck of the Baltic States or Poland.   IF that happens the World would be on a hair trigger to a European War.   Putin's Russia is out of control, it is following the Hitler plan for war, take a bit first then go for the whole lot.   One would have thought that Russia after World War 2 would follow in the footsteps of Hitler. 

How NOT to be a LABOUR LEADER - Post 2015 Election

Guardian: Reports on the failed leadership from Ed Miliband and how he lost the 2015 Election.  A Must read IF your a political geek.

Lets Get Real:

If your going to be the next Labour Leader you should read this article, Labour had its worse election defeat since 1983, Ed Miliband managed to get a result much worse than when Gordon Brown was Labour leader in 2010.  The Labour Party if it wants to get elected in 2020 has to move to the Blair agenda, of helping people who want to better themselves.   Labour has to crack the South or it will be out of power for decade's 

The Greek Problem - Greek Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Greece has told the International Monetary Fund it will delay Friday's €300m (£216m) debt repayment and bundle all four of its June payments together. "

Lets Get Real:

The Greek crisis is like watching a very slow boring car crash, one knows how it is going to end but the players are taking their time to get to the end point.  Greece can no longer be part of the Euro, its economy is in a mess, the Greek government needs to take the country out of the Euro and develop its own money that Athens controls.   The endless bailouts to Greece will sooner or later be rejected by those giving the money, Greece is a money pit with no end in sight, time for Greece to wake up and grow up.
