Affection for the Dark Prince, Lord Mandelson ?

Telegraph: Reports that UK PM Gordon Brown has stated that New Labour has now developed affection for Lord Mandelson. If PM Brown really thinks that it is time for him to go, the Labour Party as a whole cant stand him, he might win elections but he is New Labour, the one thing the old Labour Party detest more that the Conservative Party is Tony Blair, and who got Blair in to Power, simple one word answer, Mandleson. The PM needs to smell the coffee!!

Elgain Marbles

Lets be clear, the UK tax paid for the Elgain Marbles, they belong to the Nation, we bought them we own them, end of subject.

Flash Point North Korean Ship - Kang Nam

Fox News: Reports the US Navy could intercept the North Korea Ship the Kang Nam. As stated in this blog this could be the flash point that leads to conflict between North Korea and the Obama Administration, the selling of WMD is the main export of North Korea, its money keeps the regime going, thus if you halt those exports you are heading for a direct confrontation with North Korea. If the US Navy does force a North Korean ship to go to a Port of Country friendly to the USA, this could lead to a North Korea to test a nuclear bomb and its long range missile. Thus keep an eye on North Korea folks, trouble is brewing.

Judgemenet Day in Iran

BBC News: Reports that the expect demonstration in Iran will go ahead today. This is Judgement Day in Iran, the Ayatollah Khamenei had supported the the outcome of the Presidential Election, thus this is the day, the crossroads for Iran, does it go down a totalitarian path or does it fight for its freedom, that is the simple stark choice, if the people weaken then they are not up to the fight, and it is a fight, this will not be a stroll in the park folks, the Demos should be peaceful but if your attacked you have the right to defend yourself. Lets hope the people are brave, also their leaders. A Day of Destiny in Iran.

Death in Afghanistan

BBC: Reports on the death of a Welsh Guards Soldier in Afghanistan. This brings the total of those killed in combat operations to 140, overall the Afghanistan Operation has seen the death of 169 Personnel of the UK Armed Forces. This total will go up, the question that has to be asked, our brave Armed Forces Personnel are trying their best but what can be achieved, at the end of the day is the fight worth the cost, have my grave doubts about this answer.
