Cable seller of the Crown Jewels

The Lib Democrat conference is on and they are all gathering together to pat themselves on their narrow shouldered backs of how well they had done in a coalition government. Of course we all know they have been appalling.  I noticed though as one famous and nefarious Lib Dem MP was briefly and politely interviewed how no questions were asked about the Post Office sell off.   The Guardian newspaper on the 20.11.13. reported the sell off at 330 pence a share compared with a current valuation of 550 pence a share meant the sale had lost £2.2 billion. Such a phenomenal amount equates the complete negligence on behalf of the coalition government and in particular Vince Cable who was a key player.  Though, personally I can't help feel as business secretary he was given a poison pill by the coalition government. Whatever happened it was going to be unpopular, but the worst thing of all has happened the gross under valuation and sell off of Great Britain's crown jewels.  This seems to be a constant thing which happens whenever a Tory government comes into power and it seems the people who always make the most out of selling public assets are those who are already wealthy and seeking to get wealthier.  Every single one of those shares should of first been offered to the British Tax payers as free shares. The minimal restriction on selling to private investors was so low as to mean this government only wanted to sell shares to institutional investors overseas, they effectively rather give tax payers money to free loaders in different countries than their own population.

It would of made interesting news had the interviewer the bollocks to of asked a difficult question.  I think it should of been more along the lines of "Mr Cable, don't you feel it would be appropriate of you to resign from government after the atrocious short selling of the Post Office?" Or, "Mr Cable, can you explain why the population of the UK should consider voting for the Liberal Democrats when the selling of the Post Office at a vastly under valued level represents exceedingly bad judgement and governance?" A more simple question could also of been, "Do you honestly think your party will ever recover it's reputation as a democratic party after being in coalition?"

Every time there is a Tory government there is always a single guarantee, the poor, the working classes will be pushed into greater poverty.  Cable you and Clegg have your days numbered, watch this space.

Yanukovch brings the Ukraine to it's knees

What do Viktor Yanukovych, Saddam Hussein, Mohammed Morsi, Bashir Al-Asad and Hitler have in common?  It's simple, they were or are all power crazy in their own way.  Two are dead, one has absconded, one is in jail and one is still in power. It seems democracy doesn't rule when a country's ruler decides the people under them are nothing more than pawns. However, we see Al-Asad doing his best to play of different nations against each other so he can stay in power.  Whilst unfortunately Victor Yanukovych ran away like a frightened little girl who had been just spooked the three bares and greedily ate all their porridge.  Fortunately for the people of the Ukraine they have formed an interim parliament, unfortunately for them it looks like Putin has now decided to get involved in the game. Perhaps Putin was impressed by Yanukovych's wonderful home, the one with the replica Spanish galleon.  Most of the Ukrainian people didn't like Yanukovych's penchant for corruption, which had permeated through their society.  Further they want to move more towards Europe, whilst he has his sight set on Russia.  Like Al-Asad, Yanukovych to has played off different minority groupings in order to help justify his rule.  As the old adage goes, "divide and conquer" which is certainly what he has done. Although he ran away like a little girl he has found a big brother in the form of Putin.  The problem is Putin is not just a big brother he is a giant and already he is now starting to make his move on the Ukraine again.  It is another power play.  If his friend Yanny wasn't so greedy and wasn't so corrupt he would not be in this position. The reality for Europe is they will not get involved because it is too impracticable, certainly at a military level there is nothing they can do.  The Ukraine could just of found it is now going to be in a fight with Putin.  They may not of liked the corruption, but now their lives could be on the line. Depending on what hostility they show.

So democracy is a freedom in itself, and some people such as Al-Asad and Yanukovych don't know the definition. Unless they happen to think it is something related to fine wine sipped in a Spanish Galleon.  Of course like the greats villains of the world Yanukovych may find he'll one day be in the dock of a war tribunal.
