66 NOT OUT !

The Independent: Reports that men after 2016 will get a pension at 66 and a companies can no longer sack men at 65. This is taking the bull by the horns folks, lets get it straight folks, we the PEOPLE are living well beyond past generations, if you have a somewhat healthy life style you can retire at 65 and live to around a 100 or more, thus one can postulate if your in your 30s or late 40s now you wont retire till your 70 or ever later. Thus the old welfare system will head for the ash heap of the old USSR, the modern NHS can keep you kicking well in your hundreds, lets recall those old soldiers from World War One, they lived well in to their 90s even after 101. The future generations have to get the fact that it’s a new dawn, the compact of 1945 between work and benefits is over, just smell the coffee and eat and drink well.

Gore ALLEGED SEX SCANDAL P/T 2

CNN: Reports that Police in the alleged Gore scandal did not follow up the case as they could not get enough proof to move with the case.

In PR terms its better to have a statement and stick to it, rather than say nothing, people will postulate that there is something in the case, will not look good for former VP Gore.

Alleged GORE SEX scandal

Telegraph: Reports on allegations from the US that former American Vice President Al Gore was involved in a sexual attack on a woman in 2006. This is an allegation folks, lets recall Mr Gore is a Nobel Prize winner, in his career he has been a US Senator, Vice President to Bill Clinton and won his Nobel for doing something compared to some Presidents. Now lets talk politics, the real world, Al Gore lost the 2000 Election to Bush 43, the former Vice President blamed the loss in some respects on the actions of Bill Clinton while in Office, he gave Clinton a hard time after the loss, thus one can postulate that in the brutal world of politics some in the Clinton Camp will smile, at least the Clinton Scandal was between two consenting adults, this is not the case in the Gore scandal. But lets recall this is allegation, lets see what the truth is folks.
