GET OFF YOUR SOAP BOX!

Trade Union Strikes and Record High Fuel Prices – a few more nails for Labour’s political coffin.

The saying ‘give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves’ crossed my mind this morning.

The Unions are throwing their weight around just at a time when they would be best advised to shut up and be grateful that their employees still have jobs. On top of that petrol prices are creeping towards a new high.

As the Royal Mail strike threat recedes (for now), the UNITE Cabin Crew strike at British Airways started today and the militant leaders of the RMT Union are starting their annual rutting roars. To win a industrial dispute or indeed an election you need public support and the British public do not currently have the stomach or much sympathy to put up with whinging workers. Thousands have lost their jobs, thousands have taken pay cuts and many more thousands of jobs are currently being artificially supported by Labours huge public borrowing.

Support the Campaign for the freedom to take Photos!

A couple of days ago I dusted down my Fuji s9600 and invested in a wide angle conversion lens. I don’t use the camera much but thought I must start using it more this year and over the last few days, with crisp winter sunshine, I have taken some nice photos. A few of the dog and a few of the lovely coastline where I live. Mustn’t just rely on the camera’s Auto setting and start tinkering with shutter speed and aperture. I just wish the dog would stay still!

REPUBLISHED 17.01.10

UPDATE 17-01-10: With Tony Blair currently rehearsing his lines for his appearance at the Chilcot inquiry of the Iraq war, it looks like this subject is going to be hot news. Blair received intelligence 10 days before the war started that Iraq had dismantled any Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD’s). These are the same W.M.D’s that could be launched with 45 minutes, according to an Iraqi Taximan and which was included as ‘evidence’ with the dodgy dossier. Then of course, it turned to ‘regime change’, at the same time Gordon Brown was planning to do the same thing.So I am really looking forward to the next few weeks. This inquiry was delayed by Labour time and time again to avoid embarrassment but unfortunately couldn’t be put off any longer. It has started just before the next election. Timing is everything they say.

UPDATE 19-11-09: TONY BLAIR NOT TO BE E.U. PRESIDENT – There is a God!

Tony Blair for European President? Have our memories faded that quickly?

YouGov poll confirms 23% think Blair should be tried for War Crimes!

A YouGov poll in today’s Sunday Times reveals that 52% feel that Tony Blair deliberately misled the country over the Iraqi war. That to me reads that over half think he lied about the reasons and justifications to go to war. And 23% feel that he should be tried for war crimes.

Blair will soon being ‘justifying’ the war soon when he gives his ‘evidence’  to the Iraqi War inquiry. As a comparison, I was thinking about how there has been uproar over the Tiger Woods affair, or should I say affairs. Ever since his wife tried to club him to death with a five iron that infamous night, the comments have been rife. The newspapers covering every angle, young blonde pole dancers coming out of the woodwork saying they were also involved – and that they will be releasing a book and film in the summer.

Further to my recent post about the vile proposition of extremists marching through Wootton Bassett, over 738,000 people joined this campaign on Facebook. However, today it seems that Islam4uk has stated that the proposed march will not take place.

What the Facebook campaign demonstrated is how powerful social networks can be in bringing together like minded souls. Thousands were up in arms that our society and indeed, the town of Wootton Bassett could be hijacked by a small group of people with extremists views.

But what the group also revealed was that itself was hijacked by people who, themselves, have extreme and racist views. Of course this was not the intention of the group and such comments were not tolerated but they did occur. So it begs the question which is worse? In the same way that Islam has been hijacked by extremists, the same thing then happens to a genuine public demonstration.
