Liberal Democrats and Tuition Fees

Guardian: Reports that the Business Secretary Vince Cable has stated that his reform of tuition fees could be moved in the House of Commons while he and his fellow Liberal Democrats abstain. This is why Liberal Democrats are loathed by Conservatives and Labour supporters, the want it both ways, how can a Secretary of State abstain from his own idea, what comes first the Country or Party. The Lib Dems have to make a decision, are they in or out of Government, if they refused to support their own Secretary of State what is stop Tories from defecting on granting a referendum on AV. It is time for the Lib Dems to grow up. They wanted a Coalition Government will this is the price, not being liked by the left.

Telegraph JOINS Paywall

Guy Fawkes Blog: Reports that the Telegraph will join the Times and go beyond a pay wall. Thus once the Telegraph goes beyond the veil folks there will be no links from this blog, the point of current events is that they are CURRENT, one day breaking news then fish and chip paper. In this modern day there is 24 hour news channels and their web pages, the point of major papers is to give the best news commentary, but if they go beyond the veil then they lose their political power and links back to the original story. This blog is not going to pay for current news, SORRY. Its about time the old newspapers found new ways to make money, it is not pay walls, how about paying bloggers to link back to them and then add adverts to each link.

NO Talks South Korea, US = North Korea

The New York Times: Reports that the US and South Korea have both rejected a request by China that they return to talks with North Korea. If the US returned to talks with North Korea it would be a major political win for the North, it would show that they got away with shelling South Korea and in the developing of a major new nuclear plant. If China wants peace in the region it will have to force to North Korea to grovel a bit, or show that it is really willing to talk about its nuclear ambitions, Obama can not afford to show weakness as Iran will be watching what the US does with North Korea. In many respects North Korea is as much about Iran as North Korea.

Black Ops in Iran ?

The Daily Mail: Reports one nuclear scientist was killed today in Tehran while another was injured by car bombs. It does not take a great leap of thinking to guess who was behind this operation, does seem bit extreme, but if these scientists were part of the process that allows Iran to get the bomb then action has to be taken, NO this does not mean that you go around killing people without cause, but and this is the big but, IF Iran wont give up its nuclear ambitions then those ambitions have to be removed what ever way that preserves peace in the Middle East. If my guess is right then expect a few more wet jobs as they say in the intelligence trade, it’s the only way to slow down Iran. This is the real world folks, not the world of the West Wing.
