DSK FELT LIKE A CRIMINAL AFTER UNFOUNDED ACCUSATIONS !

In his CNN interview, DSK evokes the horrible night in May 2011, after which accusations appeared in the world Press, concerning his arrest.  All attempts to indict him as a criminal who attacked a Chambermaid sexually at the Sofitel Hotel in New York, have failed.

The fact that it has taken almost two years of costly pleading by the best lawyers, to ensure that DSK managed to avoid a direct confrontation with the chambermaid and thus managed to avoid answering her allegations, is now trivial or unimportant detail. 

Albeit, a financial agreement was concluded with Nafissatou Diallo in December 2012 !

DSK resigned his post as Managing Director of FMI and also any ambitions he harboured of becoming the leading contender in the 2012 French Presidential Elections !

There are many other details but what is quite clear in France is that he has lost the political backing he had to become President of France !  He not only lost his chance but most people are thankful that he was not elected !

DAVID CAMERON MUST EXPRESS HIS GRATITUDE TO ANDY MURRAY !

David Cameron has expressed his personal delight and that of the whole of Great Britain at the achievement of Andy Murray when he won the 2013 Mens Wimbledon Tennis Championship title.

Inviting Andy, who is a teetotaller, to 10 Downing Street for drinks to celebrate his achievement is a real cost saving exercise compared with the beneficial publicity for Britain and for all the other political guests invited !

David Cameron like all his guests were relieved that Andy won the tournament, together with the 1.6 million pounds which came with this victory ! 

As  Prime Minister he could go a big step further.  Instead of waiting for Andy Murray to pay his taxes on the winnings of 1.6 Million pounds which came with the Wimbledon title, he could declare his and the whole of Britain's gratitude by making the entire 1.6 million as an exceptional tax deductible amount in Andy's next Tax Declaration !  

Would any British MP dare to vote against such a proposition in the House of Commons ?  If there are any, their names should be made public so that their electors can decide what they really think of their MP !

BE CAREFUL OF FERGY, ANDY MURRAY !

From newspapers it appears that Sir Alex Ferguson gave you the keys to "success" !

You must be careful even though you may know Sir Alex Ferguson is Scottish but he may want to claim a slice of the 1.6 million pounds you won at Wimbledon this Sunday ! 

Such advice could be expensive !

ANDY MURRAY SUCCESS IS AN EXAMPLE FOR BRITISH YOUTH !

Nothing is better than a role model to encourage others to surpass their own expectations !

For this simple reason some sportsmen merit a knighthood and others only recognition.  Alas, simple recognition is just ephemeral, like a mention now and again in a sports report.  There is no durable accolade for a British Athlete which draws attention to a sportman who has, for example,  beaten a World Record or even obtained a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games but is now retired.

Andy Murray may get a Knighthood but Fred Perry 77 years ago did not ! Likewise, there are sports which are less appreciated, an example being boxing.

The  real problem is that there are no world bodies which could supervise the decoration of deserving sportsmen and women.

However, this is something which could be undertaken in Britain to encourage British youth.   A suitable insignia with letters to be placed behind the Sportsman's name would be a cherished recognition and encouragement !  A top sportsman, Professional or pure Amateur, who has spent years aiming to be the best in his field, has as much merit as a University graduate !  

Could the British Government not set up a Study Group to define the rules which could lead to the recognition of a meritorious sportsman or woman ?

QATADA ONLY COST TAXPAYERS 1.7 MILLION POUNDS ?

1.7 Million Pounds was perhaps only the direct legal costs of Barristers pleading in all the extradition attempts concerning Qatada !

What the British taxpayer really wants to know is what all the indirect costs were of the surveillance and protection of Qatada and his family between his arrival some 20 years ago and his effective deportation this last week !

Such costs should take into account not only police time and social security costs and handouts including housing costs, but also the cost of preparing and instructing lawyers in government departments.

Qatada pleaded his human rights continually.  Such a possibility for known terrorists must be restricted in future.  This must be part of a revision of the Human Rights which are at present available to Terrorists, but alas not to the victims they may have even "haphazardly" killed !

If David Cameron demands the preparation of a file to determine the real total costs, he will have the means to fight for a reduction of the limits of the E U HUMAN RIGHTS COURTS, and at the same time obtain more respect for judgements of the BRITISH HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE.

U K SOCIALISTS LOSE THE PLOT !

From what appears in the Press in Britain, Socialist Trade Unionists, the benefactors with their donations to the Socialist Party, want to get back to the same situation as it was in Britain in 1979.

Simply said this means Trade Unions want to rule, not only the Socialist Party but the whole of Britain by way of strikes !   In 1979 Prime Minister Callaghan was strangled by the Union strikes but finally executed by Margaret Thatcher in a House of Commons vote of "NO CONFIDENCE".  This provoked an early General Election which Thatcher won and a reorganisation of Trade Union rights was then undertaken ! The Conservatives stayed in power until 1997.

Ed. Miliband has now become the "puppet on the string" of the Trade Unions !  However, should they not reflect on the fact that 13 years of Labour Rule (New Labour or old !) is still fresh in the memory of Voters ?

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown left Britain impoverished in 2010 ! There was no money left in the coffers that Cameron inherited.  After the Election it was quite clear that it would take at least 5 years to get the British Economy back on its feet.

There is still time before the next General Election !  Will Ed. Miliband still be around then ?  The battle to unseat him has started.

PRESIDENT HOLLANDE SACKS BATHO, THE "GREEN" ECOLOGY MINISTER

In one foul swipe, President Hollande has tried to impose his style and that of his Government.  He has also tried to put the women around him in their place !!!

Whether he has been successful remains to be seen.

Delphine Batho, who was his official spokeswoman during the Presidential Elections in 2012 later became the Ecology Minister.  She has now been "sacked" for being, it would seem, impudent, too pushy and too "green" !  She was sacked after she criticised the Budget Reductions imposed by Hollande on the Green budget and all the other Government budgets. 

One should not forget that Batho supplanted Segolene Royal, the first "partner" of Hollande and mother of their four children in the general elections of 2007.

The "greens" were shocked by this decision and held a long meeting to decide how they should react.  They are part of the "socialist majority" because they prevented the "Right" to get Sarkozy re-elected as President. 

With the help of Socialists they obtained 17 seats in the second round, even though their share of votes in the first round was only 5.46%.  (The National Front obtained 13.6% in the first round but only 2 seats in all without outside help). 

The "Greens" finally decided to remain faithful to the Socialists, but for how long remains to be seen !

Support for Hollande has been crumbling since his election.  His influence in EUROZONE politics has not been convincing and popularity polls in France have been catastrophic.  Only 25-30 % of former voters are still satisfied with his dithering.

The impression is that he does not act but hopes that world trade will come out of the recession and rescue him so that he can start to fulfill his 60 + more Election Promises !  The French are worried.

With the German General Elections coming up on 22 September 2013, the whole EUROZONE is as worried as Merkel herself.  Will she and her coalitition be re-elected or will her EUROZONE policies be "changed" ?
