Refreshing Foreign Policy

I have been dismissive of our foreign policy both under Miliband and Hague. This maybe the point when I have to change my tune.

I am enormously impressed with Cameron’s outspoken encouragement for Turkey in its bid to join the E.U. and his recognition of its importance as a westernised democratic Muslim power of the Middle East. His remarks were a slap in the face for France which has long been critical of Turkey joining. His attack upon the Gaza blockade will have left Israel in no doubt that there is no free lunch for it in London and that Cameron will be a tough critic if it does not come forward to direct talks with a constructive, rather than its usual nihilist, agenda.

All this en route to India with a giant entourage to forge a stronger alliance and build trade with Asia’s emerging power, with which we have ties of  culture, kith and kin. This is all very good and shows a bigger shift in the nuance of British foreign policy than commentators thus far have picked up.

Where is William Hague?  He is the invisible man of the coalition he helped to set up. Is he miffed at being displaced by Nick Clegg as the Number 2 in the government?

  1. I believe you have observed some very interesting points , appreciate it for the post.

  2. I do consider all the concepts you’ve introduced for your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for beginners. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

  3. What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that arrive from nowhere that Im fairly certain Id have a fair shot. Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed together with your generic understanding of this topic.

  4. good to see your site is running fine today, when your webpage didn’t work yesterday I was worried something bad might’ve happenend. black friday deals

  5. Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. 🙂
