Your Choice who should be the UK Government, not politicians behind closed doors, thus VOTE NO on AV.

VOTE NO on THURSDAY

Obama a Monster over OBL DEATH = Labour Ken Livingston

Guardian: Reports the Labour Left winger, and Labour Candidate for Mayor of London Ken Livingston has called POTUS a monster for killing OBL and not his arrest. As predicted the left wing has come out to attack the manner of taking down OBL. The left wing would have had the Pakistan Police turn up on his doorstep with an arrest warrant and hope for the best, that is why the liberals and left wing did not have power in the 1980s, can you see them winning the Cold War. Thus this is a test for the new Labour Leader Ed Miliband, will he slap down the left wing Livingston, one can not see the old New Labour putting up with this kind of rubbish. Lets see what “ Red ” Ed Miliband does, or does the nickname fit the Labour Leader.

Torture Works = The finding of OBL

Telegraph: Reports that the CIA used, and lets be clear here, it was torture, but is called enhanced interrogation techniques to gleam information that lead to the killing of OBL. This shows that the torture policies of Bush 43 worked, its not nice that it had to be done folks, the US Government had to protect its citizens and not worry about the troubled soul of New York Times or Guardian readers. The banning of torture by the Obama Administration could lead to missed chances to prevent other attacks, lets hope there are off the books, off the reservations locations that do the dirty business that protects the West. This blog can live with that policy, and sleep well with that hope.

Statue of President Ford

The New York Times: Reports that a statue of the late President, Gerald R. Ford has been placed in the Congressional Rotunda. This is fine honour for the late President, he cleaned up the White House after Watergate, he finished Watergate with a Presidential Pardon for Richard Nixon. The only fault one can say is that he should not have run in 1976, he beat the then ex Governor of California Ronald Reagan for the Republican Nomination. One can postulate that Ronald Reagan would have defeated Jimmy Carter the Democratic nominee, a no Carter Presidency would have done the US a favour. Also one has to recall that that when Ronald Reagan won the Republican nomination in 1980 he wanted former President Ford as his running mate, but Ford went on air to demand in many respects a Co - Presidency, thus Bush 41 got the nod to be VP, the rest is history folks. But overall a nice honour for the late President.

Campbell YES to AV

Alastair Campbell Blog: The Chief Spinner of New Labour Mr Campbell is voting YES on AV, the spin master states the following, “ …No rather than Yes...was indeed my own instinct early on….I have come round to Yes. ”. Simple folks do you trust AC after Iraq, if you really want to show your disapproval of his judgement then vote NO in the AV referendum on Thursday. A YES vote would mean that the Liberal Democrats would be in power all the time, there would never again be a majority Labour Government or Conservative Government, the Lib Dems would be the King Makers, the Labour and Conservative Leaders would have to pander to the Lib Dems. VOTE NO TO AV, vote for your freedom to have the Government of your CHOICE. Also in way send a message of disapproval to the Chief New Labour Spin Doctor!

Bin Laden Unarmed when KILLED

Guardian: Reports from the White House that Osama Bin Laden was not armed when killed. Thus expect some of the extreme left to argue that OBL should have been captured and tried, not killed. The extreme American left always sees the US as the enemy, but these are on the fridges of US politics. The mainstream liberal left, and they pretty left are never going to attack Obama, but its interesting folks would the reaction from the mainstream left have been the same in the same context if Bush 43 had been in the Oval, have my doubts.

UK Coalition Government Split ?

Telegraph: Reports on comments by the DPM Nick Clegg that the Coalition Parties will become more distinct after the AV referendum . In other words the Deputy Prime Minister feels under threat from those within his party who never in their hearts really wanted a Coalition Government. At the end of the day your either in Government our out, DPM Nick Clegg should have the guts to face down his opposition, you cant have Liberal Democrats Cabinet Ministers after the AV vote deciding which policy they like, the point of Collective responsibility within Cabinet is that on the whole you have once voice, yes there was the feud between Blair/Brown and that was one party, on the whole the system only works if you have one voice. If the Liberal Democrats want to leave the Government they should go, if they lose AV and take away their ball they will be seen as a one issue self interested Party, that helps the Tories. The Conservatives should look to form a minority Government or a lesser deal with the Liberal Democrats or some Northern Ireland MPs.
