Get OUT Iran - UK

BBC News: Reports that the Foreign Secretary William Hague has closed down the Iranian Embassy in the UK and thrown out its diplomats after yesterdays attack on the UK Embassy in Tehran. The UK has removed all its staff from Iran. This is good tough line to take with Iran, the EU should follow the same policy, this will make it clear to Iran that it cant treat the UK as it treated the US between 1979/80. Also should Israel strike Iran the Tehran Regime will not be able to strike back at UK diplomats. Lets hope the MI6, CIA and the Mossad are using extreme covert actions to delay and prevent Iran going nuclear. What would Iran be like if it had the bomb, yesterday would look like happy hour, time to get tough with Iran folks, before its to late.

Conservative and Lib Dem Pact ?

Guardian: Reports due to the grim economic news in the Autumn Statement the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats might have to “ … come to a detailed agreement with their coalition partners before the 2015 general election, ”. This might be the best news for the Coalition Government folks, the economic conditions are going to be bad, this blog would not be surprised to see three million people on the dole, thus the Coalition Parties will need each other, otherwise they will allow the Labour Party to win the 2015 election. At its most basic folks both PM Cameron and DPM Clegg have political enemies within their own Parties, their best friend might be each other, the Conservative right wont be thrilled with the idea of a joint Campaign, and those on the left of the Liberal Democrats will have a nervous breakdown when they get the fact that if they want to be in the next Parliament they will need an election pact with the Conservative Party. Lets recall the National Government in the 1930s before WW2 was very successful in election terms. As they say don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

6 Years of AUSTERITY - UK

Telegraph: Reports that the Coalition Government plan to remove the structural deficit by 2015 has been revoked, the article states the following on the statement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, “ He instead announced plans to continue cutting public spending until 2017.…. he will have to campaign for the 2015 general election against the background of another austerity agenda. ”. As the Chancellors No 2 at the Treasury a Liberal Democrat support the statement on Newsnight it does raise an interesting question, in effect the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats will be tied in economic terms when it comes to the 2015 election, as the cuts will go in 2017 it has to be asked is the leadership of the Liberal Democrats taking the Liberal Democrats in to a joint election with the Conservatives, they can hardly resign in 2014 and say its nothing to do with them, this might benefit the Coalition PM David Cameron, if the Conservatives and Lib Dems run a semi joint platform, they will beat the Labour Party. The interesting possibility raises the question what will be the reaction of Conservative and Lib Dems MPs, in essence the Lib Dems are tied even more to the Conservative Party when it comes to economic matters, they have agreed cuts well in to 2017, SIX years of austerity, thus this blog would not be surprised to see a election pact between the two Parties, either they hang together or they might get hung apart. Lets get real folks, the Labour Party will never go in to Coalition with Nick Clegg, that is a non starter, thus if Mr Clegg want to stay as DPM he will have to get more in to bed with the Conservative Party. The left of the Lib Dems will be spitting feathers folks, but that’s the fun part of politics folks, the voters decide not the elite, lesson there for Italy and Greece.

Public Sector Strikes - Wednesday

BBC News: Reports that two million public sector workers are expected to strike tomorrow over their pensions. Folks the Government should follow the Reagan line, lets start sacking those in the public sector who care more about their expensive pensions and not the public good, President Reagan gave the air traffic controllers a warning, when they did strike he sacked them, that message was heard by the Unions and the USSR. The UK is in a grim economic phase, private sector workers wont get the gold plated pensions of the public sector but are expected to fund those pensions. There are lot of young people out of work, lets train them to take over from these strikers, with new contracts and pensions, this is not time for the Coalition Government to be weak, time to find their inner Thatcher and Reagan.

US on UK Embassy Attack - Iran

The White House: Has released a statement by the White House Press Secretary on the attack on the UK Embassy in Iran. The statement states the following, “ The United States condemns in the strongest terms the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran. Iran has a responsibility to protect the diplomatic missions present in its country and the personnel stationed at them. We urge Iran to fully respect its international obligations, to condemn the incident, to prosecute the offenders, and to ensure that no further such incidents take place either at the British Embassy or any other mission in Iran. Our State Department is in close contact with the British government and we stand ready to support our allies at this difficult time. ”. Hardly the roar of thunder folks, but what do you expect from President Obama, he still thinks he can talk to the Tehran Regime. The UK and the EU should remove its Embassies from Iran, they are under threat, the Tehran Regime will use this tactic again when it wants to make a point. The EU leaders should have this figure in their heads, 444 days and that should equal Jimmy Carter.

Autumn Statement

HM Treasury: Reports that public sector pay will only go up by 1% after the freeze of 2013 comes to an end. The Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne stated the following, “ So while I accept that a 1% average rise is tough; it is also fair to those who work to pay the taxes that will fund it. ” The Daily Mail reports that the Office for Budget Responsibility has stated that those getting the sack from the public sector due to Coalition Cuts, will go from four hundred thousand to 710, 000. The Chancellor stated the following on unemployment in the UK, “ The OBR forecasts that unemployment will rise from 8.1% this year to 8.7% next year, before falling to 6.2% by the end of the forecast. ”. This was a tough statement folks, the public sector has taken a hit, but this is the story throughout Europe folks, the gravy train has come to an end. The Unions tomorrow are brining UK to an standstill, but it will be interesting to see who goes on strike, the difference between the Winter of Discontent of the late 1970s and NOW folks is the Thatcher Union reforms, the NUM could not bring down the Government, these strikes are stupid. They hurt the workers, they lose pay, and the public wonders why they are paying for the pensions of the public sector. Lets recall the early Thatcher Government had a grim economy, but the tough medicine worked, the UK had an economic boom in the 80s. Also lets recall Lady Thatcher won the 83 and 87 election and Sir John Major won in 1992. Tough polices work folks. 　

Tehran Regime and the UK Embassy Attack

Guardian Live - Iran: Reports that the Tehran Regime is trying to distance itself from the attacks on the UK Embassy. The Tehran Regime has no problem in sending in protesters, letting them get hurt by the Police, they are that cynical and ruthless folks, they don’t value human life, even of their supporters. The UN should come down hard on Tehran, enforce strict new and tough sanctions, make Tehran learn an important lesson, this is not 1979.
