NO NO, Mad Men to Sky ?

Guardian: Reports that BBC could lose Mad Men to Sky. Well folks this is the final straw, what is the point of the BBC TAX if they cant keep one of the best shows on the TV. The BBC should cancel its morning shows, and fund Mad Men. Folks if the BBC lose Mad Men then the new Coalition Government should sell BBC on the open market, allow it to have adverts and sell shares in the co - operation, No Don Draper No BBC Tax. Folks starts those emails and twitter, who cares about Ed Miliband this is serious folks.

Rahm Emanuel OUT

Telegraph: Reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is to leave the Obama Administration on Friday to run for Mayor of Chicago. Its interesting timing folks, a month before the 2010 Mid Term Elections, one can postulate that once Mr Emanuel is back in Chicago the Obama White House will blame him if President Obama loses the House and Senate in November. As noted in few articles from the US it seems that Mr Emanuel had constant runs in with the liberals around Obama, also you have a President who thinks he is the smartest person in the room, when you have Bob Woodward in the room with the President its not Obama that is the smartest. If the Republicans take the House and Senate and it looks like the Republicans will take the House and get parity with the Democrats in the Senate the Obama White House will have a decision, in 1994 Bill Clinton had the same election outcome, he moved the centre and won re-election in 1996, but Clinton like Reagan was pragmatic, Obama as stated thinks he is the smartest person in the room, how will his arrogance and ego cope with a Congress that just says NO. This election in some odd respects will really show the Obama character, can he be pragmatic, or is he so stuck to the liberal cause that he wants to be a one term President like Carter.

Ireland Bankrupt ?

BBC News: Reports that the cost of bailing out the banks of Ireland has gone up to thirty nine billion pounds, and the debts of Ireland is now 32% of the Gross National Product. My problem with these bailouts is that they never seem to end, the banks seem to be hiding the real debt and only being open when they want money. The Government of Ireland is throwing good money down the toilet, the banks should be allowed to fail, then its over, with the present cases the bailouts never end, even schools and hospitals seem to be at risk, it would be logical to fail the banks and start again. Yes folks there would be pain, a lot of pain, the welfare state are Western Europe has known since 1945 would come to and end, but all good things end, its how they end that matters, throwing good money down the toilet will be a disaster for Western Europe.

Balls Shadow Chancellor ?

Guardian: Has a positive piece on Ed Balls and his prospects of being Shadow Chancellor the Exchequer. The Coalition Government would love Balls, he has been to close to Gordon Brown over the years, he would bring a lot of negative baggage, he is a symbol of the toxic Blair/Brown War. Lets be honest here folks, Balls has been very effective as Shadow Education Secretary in attacking the new Education policy of the Coalition but the economy is something else, he often quotes that he was right on the Euro, well what has he been right on since, the IMF, the Bank of England supports the spending cuts of the Coalition, Balls only works if they are wrong, while running for the Labour Leadership Balls has stated that there should be in essence no cuts, therefore if the economy turns around due to the Coalition Government policies the Labour Party is a dodo. The choice of Shadow Chancellor could decide the next election for Labour, does Labour want the ghost of Gordon Brown at the table.

Miliband is OUT - Balls

Telegraph: Reports on apparent conformation from the Shadow Education Secretary and Leadership Candidate Ed Balls that David Miliband is out of the Shadow Cabinet. This blog is not Labour supporting and has not time for Ed Miliband but advice Ed Junior if you want to remain Labour Leader and have some power, any power in fact don’t make Ed Balls your Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, you might as well have Gordon Brown running the show ( Balls was the eyes and ears and law enforcer for GB ), its that simple, Ed Balls is a ruthless soso, and that is being charitable, it is reported that Gordon Brown in less that happy with Ed Miliband, one thing about New Labour founders they are not David Miliband, push them to far and they will knife Ed Miliband in the back with out a moments thought, thus Ed Junior pick a new face and keep Ed Balls at a very long distance.

David Miliband on the WAY OUT!

BBC News: Reports on the signs that former Foreign Secretary and Labour Leadership Candidate David Miliband will not serve under his brother as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. One has to have a lot of sympathy for David Miliband, to be betrayed by your younger brother is worse that being stabbed in the back by a fellow Cabinet Colleague. Its to the credit of David Miliband that he has not flinched from his vote to approve the Iraq War, but David Miliband on the backbenches might be worse for Ed Miliband the new leader, in politics there is an ups and downs, if the Coalition is right with the cuts and can promise major tax cuts at the next election then Labour is dead in the water. Also should there be a major terrorist attack and the Coalition swings right on law and order the Labour Party is dead in the water. This is my prediction Ed Miliband will not be leading the Labour Party in the 2015 Election, it will be his brother.

Brown Years Part Two

Radio 4:The second instalment of the radio documentary on the Brown Years. It is well worth 45 minutes of your time folks, in 2008 you really feel sorry for the staff at 10 Downing Street, seems it was a nightmare of a working environment, would have taken this blog Prozac to work there. How come politicians are more honest on the radio than TV.
