Shock!!!

I never thought it could happen. It just isn't possible. How could it be?

The peaceful protests in Eygpt have turned violent. Amazing. The celebrations of those politicians convinced they were bringing democracy to the Middle East (mainly members of the Special Needs Party) have dampened to a whimper.

And the Eygptians have been misled. One middle class Egyptian lady interviewed mid-riot was shocked (there's a lot of it about)- apparantly the original protesters had been led to believe Mubarak would go as the protesters had demanded, not get his supporters out on the street to fight his corner.

Meanwhile, Obama has had to come out on the side of the anti-government protesters even though the US have supported Mubarak for many years. Oh dear. So where will Mubarak's loyalties lie should he remain in power. Will he still be pro-USA, depending on them pumping money into Eygpt, as they have done over previous years, keeping him in power. Or will he instead, turn now to the other beleagured middle east leaders sufferng the domino effect to form an anti-western pact, realising what part the US have played in the current situation.

I don't believe democracy can be forced upon people - democracy by it's very nature has to be a consensus, and middle east countries have nowhere near consensus of any kind. Political meddling on this scale is a very dangerous game to play, murderous in fact and there is only one guaranteed outcome - it'll all end in tears

A Man Without Conviction

As Barack Obama is struggling to retain public confidence at home, and looks set for a thrashing in the forthcoming elections, he has chosen to defend his reforms on the The Daily Show hosted by Jon Stewart.

He trotted onto the show to an audience cheering him like he had just won the X Factor, so no packed audience there. Cue a little friendly banter and then onto the serious stuff. Jon Stewart asked him about his lightweight legislation and watered down healthcare reforms to which Obama replied in statesmanlike manner.................................'er, er, Jon, now you know I like your show........................'.

But why the hesitation? Surely Mr Obama is passionate about healthcare reforms? In which case he should have jumped in, told Stewart it was about time all people were given decent health care, that given the opposition from other parties no way was his legislation watered down and so on. However, struggling for an answer Mr Obama had to play for time to give his response

Now I've seen that response hundreds of times when interviewing people, as they play for time whilst trying to formulate an answer that they think will impress the interviewer, or audience in this case. But why would Obama have this reaction? Surely he knows why he has pushed through healthcare reforms and surely he is passionate about the subject, but strangly, couldn't give an immediate answer.

The only conclusion this leads to is that he is another political 'placement', just heading a state in a consultancy capacity, hired by incompetents to push through policies that he knows little about and certainly has no passion for. Basically spin without conviction. Mind you, I suppose it was a comedy programme.

But it really is 'time for change' from these appalling pretend politicians.

Cameron becomes new UKIP Chairman

Bloody hell. Another special relationship? Mr Cameron has called the countries' relationship (USA and UK) but has he not realised that President Obama said the same about Mexico?

Does that relationship include when Obama slags us off for the BP oil spill, Lockerbie bombers, and make no mistake, America won World War 2 on its own, even before they set foot in Europe - now that really is impressive.

Cameron has just proved his Blair 2 credentials. Arse lick the PC President of the USA, accept that the UK is the root of all evil, and of course, confess that the British presence in WW2 was just as a complimentary shoe shiner for the US.

In fact, Cameron is such a thick brown noser he should really be the Chairman of UKIP. Now all he needs is a Range Rover Discovery with tinted windows..........................
