Various News items.

David Cameron says that new laws will be drawn up to make it harder for unions to call strikes and also make it easier for employers to sack workers. The man is a complete idiot. He is backing the ordinary working person into a corner and will reap the consequences sooner rather than later. The first opportunity to let our feelings be heard will be next Wednesday during the national strike. It will be very interesting to see just how the various marches and rally's are policed. A few weeks ago, the Metropolitan Police used undercover cops to try and stir up trouble. Didn't work, and hopefully it won't work next week.
Hilary Clinton is pressing Netanyahoo to release $100 million of Palestinian tax revenue. If she is serious about that, she could always divert the US aid budget from Israel directly to the Palestinian government in Gaza.
The Israeli foreign minister Lieberman is threatening to break up the coalition government if West Bank outposts are forced to evacuate. I would call his bluff because anything that would get this warmongering thug out of office would be a good thing.
There have been pro democracy protests in Tel Aviv and police have used pepper spray to try and disperse them. Sounds familiar.
GOP candidate, Rick Perry has stated that he believes that both Ha mas and Hezbollah are active in Mexico. I will be interested to read any evidence of that claim.
Herman Cain has said that if Israel comes up with a credible plan, then he would support a pre-emptive strike on Iran. Hold on to your hats people, this could be a bumpy ride.
I will end this little ramble here for the time being, but I will be back soon.
