The UK Weather + Cold and the Rain = Romans had SOCKS

Telegraph: Reports on evidence that Roman Soldiers were wearing socks while they guarded Roman Britain. The weather has not changed that much, cold, rain, one can postulate that the poor Roman coming from the Sunny weather of Italy would have had a culture hear attack after a few days in Roman Britain, the weather and the locals not that happy and once the Romans left the Roman junk was thrown out with them, but they left their shoes and traces of their socks!

On Holiday OBAMA is DOWN in POLL

Gallup: Reports on its latest daily tracking poll for President Obama, the President has a disapproval rating of 51%, while 42% of voters approve of Obama’s job performance. Even on holiday President Obama cant move the polls in his direction, the bad economic news is looking bad for the Democrats in the Mid Term 2010 Congressional Elections, between September and late October President Obama has to get his poll ratings up or he will see a Republican House and Senate in January, and they will be saying a NO a lot to the White House. This blog is coming around to the idea that President Obama might not run in 2012, like LBJ in 68 President Obama needs total love, well that not on the cards for 2010 or 2012, a ego like Obama as with LBJ might rather not face losing and getting kicked out by the voters. Obama if he will not change course could decide to strong arm Israel to accept a nuclear armed Iran, he would see that as a victory, in his mind it would be worth being a one term President.

The Miliband BROTHERS at WAR - Labour Leadership Fight

Guardian: Reports that phoney war between Ed and David Miliband for the Leadership of the Labour Party has gone hot, with each side attacking the electoral strategy of the other, Ed Miliband wants to get the core Labour vote back while David Miliband wants to get the Middle Class vote back. Labour should be ashamed of it self, two bothers fighting, Alpha Geek and Beta Geek, neither having had a real job, they are the creation of New Labour, Beta Geeek, Ed Miliband or Miliband Junior is stabbing his own brother in the back as to become Labour Leader, he has gone left, thus he supports more power to the Unions, the repeal of the Thatcher Trade Union Laws, also higher taxes. While Alpha Geek, David Miliband the ex Foreign Secretary and presently Shadow Foreign Secretary is in the Tony Blair mould, but he is weak, he had the chance to finish off PM Gordon Brown but didn’t have the guts, of the two Miliband brothers, it can be argued that David is more of the threat in the long term to the Coalition, he wants to get back the Middle Class vote that left Labour in the May General Election. One can only wonder what the founders of Labour would have thought to see the leadership of the Labour Party being between two non working class brothers, who have never had a real job, just shows how much Tony Blair destroyed old Labour.

The Credit of Ireland - DOWN

BBC News: Reports that the Irish Government will spend 10 billion Euros more to beef up its banking system, in total Ireland will spend 74 Billion pounds. This has lead a major Credit Agency to downgrade the CREDIT for Ireland. Lets be honest folks, sooner or later Europe has to go through a really Great Depression 11, all the debts have to be known, major cuts in the welfare state of Europe will have to be started from London to cover the whole of the EU. The nightmare is not over folks, there is more pain to come, the tax payer bailed out the banks, its time to pay the costs, the bankers will be laughing all the way with their fat bonus.

The Bunker Refit and the Ouster of Tony Blair

The Daily Mail: Reports that Labour PM Tony Blair was ousted due to the fact that Mrs Blair asked for a refit of the nuclear bunker for the Government, this drove those loyal to Gordon Brown to make sure that Mr Blair named a date for his Departure. Well in many respects the Labour Party was in the bunker for years, its fitting that that the most successful Labour Leader ever was undone by his wife’s doing a makeover plan, its has its irony, from invading Iraq to getting the boot for a BIG NO for a makeover of a bunker that should never have to be used by the Cabinet.

Lawrence of Arabia and World War 1 Exploits

Telegraph: Reports on previous secret attack flights by Lawrence of Arabia on Turkish interests in World War One. It shows folks that history always comes up with new aspects that is part of the known history but was either secret or forgotten or both. Lawrence of Arabia the uncrowned King of Arabia is a heroic historic figure, this latest revelation just adds to the myth.

Election Cycles - Lib Dems

The Daily Mail: Reports on comments by DPM Nick Clegg the Leader of the Liberal Democrats that the Lib Dems could face major losses next year in the local council elections due to the Coalition Governments public spending cuts. Lets be honest here folks, Nick Clegg has nowhere else to go, he has to make the Coalition work, the Labour Party would want his head for any deal with the Liberal Democrats, thus Mr Clegg can expect a rough Party Conference, one can see a few Liberal Democrats MPs defecting to Labour, but the prize for Mr Clegg is after five years the UK economy is back in the black and Lib Dems are seen as the successors to Labour. Mr Clegg has to keep his nerve.
