Foreign Policy
I simply do not know why anyone thinks David Milliband would be a good Leader of the Labour Party. Ed maybe but David no. He is one of the worst Foreign Secretaries in our history with a narrow blinkered view of the world, lacking in strategic focus and forever falling back to promote the many chips he carries on his shoulders.
The world is not a perfect place and most countries do things differently to us. Some in ways of which we disapprove. But if that is their way, unless they are on the rampage of conquest with us in their sights, the smart thing is to find the common interests to enable the world to move forward.
Our David has mucked up our relations with Russia, failed to make progress in the Middle East, inflamed distrust with Iran, supported a failing policy in Afghanistan and now he has quarrelled with China. Yes, it can be argued that he speaks from the moral high ground but in the conduct of relations between states this kind of sanctimonious finger wagging really does not work. It also looks very cynical to foreigners who notice that we are still without a proper Constitution of our own, presently have a corrupt Parliament sitting and a voting system that is the least democratic anywhere in the civilised world.
I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays…
Sick! Just got a brand-new Pearl and I can now read your blog on my phone’s browser, it didn’t function on my previous one.
Hi, Just returned here to remind you about Mobile Monopoly. It is a superb system and WILL make you money, especially seeing as you own a website. Take a quick look at their video, the strategy is about using Mobile Advertising which is brand new and an unexposed market where you can make thousands by doing hardly any work. I promise you that after you watch their short video it will change you and it will start making you think. http://mobile-mastermind.com
