The Cost of the EU - Cyprus Crisis

Guardian: Reports on what awaits the people of Cyprus, " Waiting for poverty to strike is no game. It makes ordinary men and women helpless, desperate and scared. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks the Banks in Cyprus open tomorrow, the Government has bought in limits in how much the people of Cyprus can take out of their own accounts, the State is telling its OWN people how much of THEIR money they can have, think about that folks, this is not the USSR, Cuba, this is the EU in the 21 Century, its like something out of the early late 1940s folks, those heady black and white days!!.    The question is what next for Cyprus, well advice to the poor and I mean poor people of Cyprus, GET OUT OF THE EURO, its not going to make Cyprus stronger, its going to kill the economy of Cyprus.   The EU has decide to steal the money of Russian savers, on the theory that it is dirty money, and the savers can not say a thing, blackmail in other words folks.  It will be interesting to see how the people of Cyprus react tomorrow, will there be lines of people wanting to get THEIR money and out and be told NO.  How will they react, News crews from around the world will be watching folks. Watch this Space.

The End of David Miliband ? - Future Labour Leader ?

Daily Mail: Reports the following on the shock resignation of David Milliband, " ..David Miliband’s decision will also be seen as a massive vote of no confidence in his brother’s ability as Labour leader... ".

Lets Get Real: 

Lets be generous folks, and not think this move is political, rare on here, yes folks, one can see why the former Foreign Secretary has taken this move, if and its a big IF Ed Miliband does pull it off and wins the 2015 General Election the 1st man through No 10 would be his brother David, he would in essence have to offer him job he wanted, and I mean any job with the exception of the PM post, thus not a happy Shadow Cabinet.   The worse outcome for Ed Mililband giving this 2015 case study would be for his brother to take a job, and could never be sacked, moved or anything else, not happy idea for a new PM, it would be worse than having Gordon Brown as your Chancellor, also lets play this out, a new Labour Government under Ed Junior would get in to trouble, thus low poll ratings, thus talk in the tea rooms of  a new leader, yes his brother, thus further nightmare for Ed Junior.   Now lets get real, DM thinks his brother will not win, so why stay around, the Labour Party is not going to have a 2nd Miliband as a leader, thus get out and get a real job and make some money, wise and ruthless, he would have made a great Labour Leader. 

Gay Marriage 2

Telegraph: Reports the following from the US Supreme Court, " Hopes among gay rights activists that the US Supreme Court would make a sweeping ruling in favour of gay marriage receded sharply after the court's nine justices appeared to shy away from taking a firm line on the issue. ".

Lets Get Real:

The Supremes it seems have no backbone on this subject, its a matter of deep civil rights, in the 1960s African - Americans had to fight to get their Civil Rights and the US Politicians, Democrats and Republicans saw it as the right move to support such efforts, yes it cost the Democrats the South but it was the right thing to do, a narrow view of civil rights is not what the US should be about, its about freedom to be, and the State, local or federal has no right to decide what marriage means, as in the negative, that does not mean that Churches or other religious establishments have to carry out marriage services, that would be wrong, that would be the State saying that a Church etc has to see marriage the way the State sees the ACT, people should be allowed to marry, outside a Church.   Sad day for the US Supreme Court should it duck this issue.
