Muslim Protesters Attack British Soldiers

    This week, anti-British, Muslim protesters in England, Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC), booed and spat at returning UK soldiers, who were stationed in Afghanistan.

    The protest at the homecoming parade for the soldiers erupted into violence. Protesters should have had the decency to stay away from this particular event.

    While the Judiciary Report does not agree with the wars in the Middle East, as George W. Bush lied to everyone about their true purpose, disrespecting soldiers by booing and spitting at them, is completely inappropriate and disgraceful.

Conservatives And Liberal Democrats To Form Government

    British Prime Minister, David Cameron and wife, Samantha Cameron

    With the pending political formation of a Conservative led, Liberal Democrat backed government on the horizon in United Kingdom, it gives both parties the chance to brainstorm and come up with ideas in the best interest of Britain.

    Liberal Democrat chief, Nick Clegg

    Though they share contrasting views, it could afford Britons the best of both worlds, if the most useful and beneficial ideas are distilled into one governing format.

Gordon Brown's Bigotgate

    British Prime Minister Gordon Brown: woops!

    A radio microphone betrayed British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, as he forgot it was on after he left a public engagement and it picked up embarrassing conversation between the incumbent and an aide. He referred to a citizen, Jillian Duffy, as a "bigoted" woman that used to support his Labour Party.

    As a general rule, live microphones should be removed by a member of staff, when speaking engagements are over, as one day it could jeopardize the national security of a world government.

    David Cameron

    Next Thursday, May 6, 2010, is the British national election and based on polls, Conservative party chief, David Cameron, who has the better ideas for Britain, is currently the frontrunner, with Liberal Democrat, Nick Clegg, a close second.

Obama's Snubbing Of Britain



    U.S. President Barack Obama

    Persistent public criticism of U.S. President Barack Obama's snubbing of America's top ally, Britain, in his less than considerate treatment of accommodating British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has made its way into the current U.K. elections, set to take place on May 6, 2010.

    It is now being said, challengers, frontrunner David Cameron and newcomer Nick Clegg, could scale back Britain's ties with America, if ether wins, in light of the perceived Obama snubs that have become "embarrassing." Britain certainly is not an enemy of America, supporting the nation for decades. Therefore, Obama's behavior is quite puzzling to many.

    Other high ranking British officials spoke out last month, seeking a reevaluation of relations between the two nations, deeming the "lapdog" image the Labour Pary, under former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, saddled Britain with, is unacceptable and harming Britain's image and interests in the world.
    Could Britain's three-way end the "special relationship"?

    Saturday, April 24, 2010 - Mr. Clegg's stance on those issues could
    make some in Washington nervous. In a speech this week he called for a shakeup
    in relations between the United States and the United Kingdom and described as
    "embarrassing the way Conservative and Labor politicians talk in this kind of
    slavish way about the special relationship." He added that there were "profound
    differences" between the two countries and argued that the Obama administration
    had already written off the idea that Britain was a special ally. "If they are
    moving on, why on earth don't we?" he said.

    Intentionally or not, Mr. Obama has offered support for Mr. Clegg's
    argument: His relatively chilly relationship with Mr. Brown, including several
    perceived snubs, has been a persistent theme of British news coverage. Yet the
    United States can hardly afford a weaker or less friendly Britain at a time when
    it is still fighting two wars and when diplomacy with states such as Iran, North
    Korea and Syria is failing. Other longtime American allies, from Brazil to
    Turkey, have begun opposing the Obama administration on Iran and other issues.
    Though the next British government is unlikely to follow their course, Mr. Obama
    would be wise to reaffirm the "special relationship."

David Cameron's Political Platform Of A New Britain

    Video: David Cameron's vision for Britain

    British Conservative Party chief, David Cameron, is pledging a new Britain, in the event he and his contingent take the elections on May 6. 2010.

    Cameron is vowing to make many positive changes to Britain, such as improving the economy and tax system, correcting MP finance issues and revamping the the currently broken benefits program and MP finance issues.

    Britain could do with a change, to correct some of the financial deficiencies that have occurred over the last several years, as the nation has so much going for it that it would be a shame to not capitalize on that. The government should seek to build on that foundation.
