Guardian: Reports that DSK has been sent to the “ notorious Rikers Island jail ” in New York. One has to admit sometimes when it comes to this case one thinks one is watching an episode of Law and Order. It was must watch TV when DSK was in the New York Court, it must have been on all the French TV channels. This case could take months, even years folks, it is time for DSK to resign as head of the IMF, it’s a humiliation for the IMF and for France. One has to wonder why he has not resigned, if it looks bad does he plan to use the diplomatic immunity argument, it would be interesting.

Is Chris Huhne FINISHED ? - UK Coalition Government
Telegraph: Reports that the Liberal Democrat Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has denied asking his separated wife to take his driving penalty points in 2003. In the short statement that Mr Huhne gave to the press it looked like the game was up, the voice and body language showed a man waiting for the political guillotine, worse the press are sharks, they smell political blood in the water, and everyone it seems wants to give the Liberal Democrats a good kicking. This mess works well for the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Mr Huhne is his political rival, so if he stays he is damaged, if he resigns he will not be able to stand against Mr Clegg. No wonder Mr Clegg has been smiling of late.

HM The Queen in Ireland
BBC News: Reports on the arrival of Queen Elizabeth 11 in Ireland, this is the first visit by a reigning Monarch since King George V arrived in Ireland in 1911. This really shows haw far the peace process has come, the Royal visit by the Queen should become a norm, the troubles with the exception of a few incidents is in the past, both the UK and Ireland have present problems to deal with, we are both broke in many respects, Ireland needed a EU/IMF bailout, the UK due to the close relationship between the UK and Ireland has given loans to Ireland. This is a great day in the relationship between the UK and Ireland.
