Muslims are up in arms because of an Anti-Islam film. What these people need to do is take a step back and look at themselves. Why has Islam been taught so it is anti-west and opposes anti-western relegions for centuries. Why do Islamic extremists kill wetserners in the name of Islam. Why, if Islam is such a great religion has so many Arab countries been lead by a dictators, killing its own peoples and letting its people lived in poverty and dirt. Why does Islam treat its women worse than animals. Roll on when the world and its people become totally Atheist.
Like the Duchess of Cambridge, and others who do not want their breasts shown in magazines, the answer is keep them covered up. If your high profile, it seems ridiculous to complain your breasts are in the public domain when you know your every move is covered by the press. If you don't want them on show, don't show them - simples.
Will changes in planning kick start the ecomony? First of all construction companies want to see some growth in the housing market, currently banks are not lending so mortgages aren't something home-buyers are finding easy to get to buy houses. People have seen their income cut and therefore don't have the money to commit to a large monthly outgoing necessary to meet mortgage repayments. Builders don't want to see their properties remaining empty for long periods of time leading to vandalism, and many don't have the capital to risk which see their company go under. So, really at the end of the day even if the planning law was relaxed it is unlikely to see a boom in construction without the Government forcing the banks to lend, and Cameron is unlikely to do this to his best mates.
Contruction already 10.1 percent on the year!

A BBC Business article by Barbara Otto, called, 'Speeding up work for people with disabilities', is seen by many people with disabilities as complete rubbish. What this person fails to grasp is the unwillingness of employers in the EU and here in the UK, to take on people with disabilities because of the challenges of Health and Safety legislation. Companies will not employ someone who is likely; because of a medical condition, to colapse in an unconsious state no matter how fast or adaptive a PC or software is. Companies will also be unwilling for an abled bodied person to sit watching a disabled person all day just incase the person with a disability becomes suddenly ill, this means the company has two employees not being productive and therefore loses revenue. So in theory is Ms Otto saying people with disabilities should work faster then people without, because if you give the disabled people the technical ability to work faster than their abled bodied colleagues will this be seen as a form of discrimination on two counts. I'll let people work that one out for themselves. This is just another American trying to think outside the box, however what she doesn't realise is the box is locked.
The plight of the disabled has not been helped by the Paralympics 2012, where peoples preception of the disabled is now one that everyone disabled is under 35 years of age and should be able to run the 400 metres, swim multiple lengths of a swimming pool, push themselves around a race track in a wheelchair. This isn't a representation of most disabled peoples normal lives, it gives a false impression. At the moment abled bodied people are judging the book by its cover, where everyone in young and has an ability to compete. Yet inside the book, the pages tell a different story of everyday disabled people lives.
Changes to Welfare Benefits aimed at forcing the disabled into the workplace may fall flat on its face. Currently, 7 out of 10 employers say they would not employ a disabled person if that persons medical condition was likely to lead to injury or accident in the workplace. So where does this leave Duncan Smith's new welfare vision? Probably with more long term unemployable people. The proposed Welfare changes are not going to work unless the Government makes radical changes to the Health and Safety at Work Act, Employment Law, Human Rights Act, Discrimination Laws and the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

Boris Johnson, once a Tory Party embarrassment, is now seen by many as the man who could lead the Tories to better things. His record as London Mayor speaks for itself and he stands up for what he believes in. Currently Boris Johnson policy u-turn's zero. Cameron u-turn's at least seven and counting.
Changes in Health Secretary, what does this mean to the NHS. To first reverse the increasing costs on the NHS, you first have to indentify where the problem lies and what the condition(s) is (are). Cameron's previous cabinet didn't actually indentified a specific problem or condition with the NHS he just knows the patient was sick and it was costing billions. We should all be grateful he is willing to throw more billions of tax payers money at a reform lead this time by Hunt; so yet another report will be drafted costing even more millions, without knowing the cause so the prognosis is likely to remain unchanged in this Government, nor in the next, or next, or next and so on and so forth.
Success Governments have failed to tackle the disproportionate rules surrounding what a homeowner / Tenant is legally allowed to do to protect their lives and home against criminals, and the criminals right to be safe whilst carrying out a burglary. The law needs to be changed, so that a crinmal loses all legal protection once they enter a property with the intent to carry out an illgeal act, or have entered onto property without the permission of the landowner. Without changes to the law, criminals will always have the rights of the law on their side if responsible force is used.
The Government should take the implications of the MMR jab seriously. There are now too many cases of children who have developed autism after having MMR. Looking at the number of children who didn't have the MMR jab, cases of Autism are far far lower. This should tell the Government it needs to look closely at what most parents believe is the root cause. Reason for Governments not investigating the link between MMR and Autism, is the financial implications in compensation claims made against them.
There are about 3 million children in the UK in 'Child Poverty'. They do not all come from homes where parents are on benefits, many are from homes where parents are on very low incomes. This proves the coalition policies of child poverty and making work pay aren't working. Whilst the Government gives billions to the Royal family, it will leave children cold and hungry this winter.
So if you falsify your expenses claiming rent you aren't entitled too, or you take your husband away on a policitical visit and claim this on expenses, you get promoted in Government. If people did this in the real world outside politics they would get locked up, fined, have a criminal record and would find it impossible to get a job thereafter. If a policitian is guilty of expense fraud they should be barred from being an MP, or holding any post in Government. They should certainly be stripped of any peerage or honours. Cameron is certainly believes in double standards. Roll on 2015.

If Cameron thinks reshaping the Cabinet will demonstrate the Tories mean business, then he better close up shop and turn out the lights when he leaves. If you leave three incompetent people still at the top; Cameron, Osborne, and Clegg, then it does matter who forms the next cabinet because these ministers will not make any difference to the company image.
Cabinet reshuffle underway. Its nice to know Cameron will keep some continuity in his new cabinet, by replacing incompetent idiots with more incompetent idiots. The one thing Cameron cant seem to do is have the balls to get rid of Osborne. There comes a time when incompetence can not be ignored; even when its your best school friend and buddy, and with the economic plan not working why does the PM stick with Osborne. In industry, failure usually leads to job loss.
Government will stop £71 pw from disabled peoples allowance if they fail to attend a job interview, or look for work. Perhaps Duncan-Smith should look to why the disabled can't get work. He needs to ensure employers are providing enough opportunities for the disabled, and that employers are implementing the Right to Interview for disabled applicants. Currently the DWP are focussing too much on the disabled and not the employers. Create the jobs first, then ensure employers offer enough disabled people an equal opportunity. Something Duncan-Smith continues to fail to do, but there again when you have sponged off your wife and her family most of your life, you don't give a crap about anyone else.
Cameron and Duncan-Smith continue their assault on the disabled society. The last time this type of harrassment occurred in a European country, Hilter tried to wipe out those who did not fit in with his ideology. Cameron and Duncan-Smith's continued harrassment is borderline 'persecution' of a element of UK society, many of whom are unable to defend theirself's. Their continued persecution will lead to many suicides of the UKs disabled.

As the silly season; party conferences, get closer. Who among the quiet Coalition backbenchers will start to make waves for the PM and DPM. You obviously cant rule out David Laws, who has something to prove after two years in the wilderness. Simon Hughes is always out spoken, as is Ming Campbell, but Cameron most dangerous MP is Bernard Jenkin whom has the veracity of a Spitting Cobra.
Atos says it is, 'professional and compassionate', many disabled people who have been through their assessments would strongly disagree. Disabled people say Atos assessors are rude, arrogant, aggressive to the point of bullying and many display little or no medical condition knowledge. It is an utter disgrace this company has been allowed to associate itself with the paralympics. What is the real relationship between the Tories, the Tory lead LOCOG and Atos, and who's stratching who's back.
There is increasing evidence that many Atos staff are not qualified to carry out medical assessments. Many disabled people are convinced that Atos' so-called medical experts don't actually know medical terminology, and many appear not to know what peoples abilities are with those medical conditions. My are concerned Atos are using non-medically trained assessors to carry life changing assessments, backed by the UK Government.
