The far left party in Greece has won. The British left are in elation; but for how long?
Firstly here's Syriza's "emergency plan"
1. Raise minimum wage from 580 euros to 751 euros per month
2. If a pension is below 700 euros per month, they will receive a "13th Month" extra
3. Coupons for electricity and food to 300,000 households
4. Free medical care
5. Scrap tax on heating
The so called "emergency plan" will cost 12 billion euros, adding to their 240 billion euros debt they're in with the EU.
How do they plan so solve their debts? Basically by demanding that the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, simply writes off a huge chunk of their debt.
And if Mrs Merkel refuses to write off their debt? They'll jump and leave the EU (AKA 'grexit).
This is where Labour will rue they day Ed Miliband refused to offer us a referendum.
If the Tories win the next election we will get a referendum in 2017 (if Greece hasn't already pushed us out), if UKIP win (doubtful) we will get a referendum almost immediately.
If Labour win, nothing will happen, no change will be made, no referendum will be offered, Ed must really need the EU.
So no longer are the Tories, or UKIP Ed's biggest worries against, Europe, it's a left wing party who he should be in "solidarity" with on the fight against austerity.
Instead, Labour will be hoping and praying that Merkel and Tsipras find some common ground, which I think we can all safely say, won't happen.
Instead Syriza plays into the Tories hands, firstly, if they break up the European Union, the promise of a referendum will be forgotten, the pressure of Merkel will be released, and many of their voters will be content at the EU's demise.
Syriza is not a friend of Labour, more like their worst nightmare coming true.

King Abdullah: The Bloody Tyrant
The King of Saudi Arabia has died.
According to Tony Blair he was "loved by his people, and will be deeply missed."
Mr Cameron said he would be remembered for his "commitment to peace and for strengthening understanding between faiths."
By peace do they mean when he oversaw women beheaded for driving cars, or for being raped?
"Strengthening understanding between faiths"? Really Dave? In Saudi you receive capital punishment for reading the bible, under Sharia Law it's idolatry, not sure that's very understanding of him.
You will receive capital punishment for being homosexual, witchcraft and sorcery (because it's still the 1500's), having sex before marriage, apostasy (disaffiliating from Islam), and many more.
They currently have a blogger in jail, Raif Badawi, who's just received 50 lashes and is expected to receive 950 more once his wounds have heeled enough, for 'insulting Islam'.
Will he be deeply missed? Was he understanding? No, he was a bloody tyrant, and his half brother has vowed to carry on where he's finished.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Saudi Arabia.

A Cartoon vs Murders
Since the Charlie Hebdo murders many Muslim's are condemning the cartoon more, than what they are condemning the murders themselves.
"I found that image offensive."
So what?
Mehdi Hasan of the Huffington Post wrote:
"I'm writing to you to make a simple request: please stop. You think you're defying the terrorists when, in reality, you're playing into their bloodstained hands by dividing and demonising. Us and them. "
Well it is us and them Mehdi, and I consider you part of us.
"When you say "Je suis Charlie", is that an endorsement of Charlie Hebdo's depiction of the French justice minister, Christiane Taubira, who is black, drawn as a monkey? Of crude caricatures of bulbous-nosed Arabs that must make Edward Said turn in his grave?"
Depicting someone as a monkey purely because they're black is obviously insulting, however, most people chose to ignore it, and if they did take an offence, they probably wrote them a complaint, not storming in with guns and killing them for it.
When I say "Je Suis Charlie" I'm also endorsing the picture of Jesus buggering God.
Just like in the Quran, the bible says we are not to depicted God, yet here they are insulting 6.9 billion Christian's across the world. How many Christian's killed over this cartoon? None.
If you're offended, good! All it means is that you have an opinion. Good for you, but don't use your offence to stop people drawing a cartoon, get over yourself, you're religion is no more important than any other out there.

Leaders TV Debate Would Destroy Ed
Does Ed Miliband really want to do the leaders debate live on TV? He'll be eaten alive!
If David Cameron is running scared, there is no need, Ed will take all the limelight, but for all the wrong reasons, let's go through the reasons why it will be political suicide for Ed:
1. Freeze the Energy Prices - since Ed said those fatal words 18 months ago energy prices have fallen, e.on prices have fallen by 3.5%
2. Banker Bonus Tax - The tax that keeps on giving! Apparent Ed has a good few ideas on how he can spend the cash from this tax, firstly cutting the deficit, then he'll turn empty shops into community centres, build more homes, regional funding, guarantee jobs for the youth of today.
3. Mansion Tax - According to the newly elected Scottish Labour leader, Jim Murphy, he'll spend the money raised from this tax on getting new nurses before they've even had time to implement the policy.
4. "Labour Demands Inquiry into Cost of Fuel" - That was in December, a month later petrol prices are falling, some garages have even been reported to be selling petrol at less than a pound for the first time in 7 and a half years.
5. Guaranteeing jobs for young people - How? How can you Guarantee a job for one person, let alone for 100,00's of people? You can't force businesses to create jobs that aren't required.
6. How much per week? - Ed hadn't got a clue how much the average family spent per week on groceries, doesn't bode well for a man who wants to be our Prime Minister.
7. No more photo op's please! - Ed claimed last July that he was about "substance and not style", but has since been snapped in many celebrity selfies - Helen Flannagan, Emma Thompson, Joey Essex, Lily Allen, and Eddie Izzard are just to mention a few.
8. "I stood up to Murdoch!" - He proudly declared during his abismal 2014 conference speech, maybe he forgot about the 3 different occasions where he's been happily snapped holding The Sun....
9. AV Referendum - Boy oh boy did he back the losing horse there! The No to AV camp won hands down, but we all know why he backed Yes, to make a rift between Clegg and Cameron, which failed spectacularly.
10. Scotland - in the polls running up to the Independence referendum, Ed was polled lower than David Cameron, despite his party having 41 seats. Now Labour are expected to lose 20 or more seats, oh dear oh dear.
11. Polls - Ed doesn't do to well in his personal ratings with people; the polled him as weird. The only person who could be envious of his ratings is Nick Clegg which really isn't saying much!
12. Weapons of mass NHS! - Ed declared he was going to weaponise the NHS against Cameron and the Tories, when questioned by Andrew Marr whether he said that, all he could come out with was "I can't remember my exact words." What a cop out!

Are You Still Against Us Banning Extremists?
Remember a few months ago, when Home Secretary Theresa May announced that she was going to ban extremists from entering the country, the anger that was spewed from the left?
"How can you define an extremist?!" They shouted.
Well my dear friends, you can define an extremists when they use religion, such as the Islamic extremists are doing, as an excuse to start killing people for drawing a picture.
It's when you go into a cafe and make all it's occupants your hostages, then forcing them to hold the (wrong) flag, use a woman as a human shield, and kill two innocent hostages, one of whom was protecting a pregnant friend, the other trying to disarm the captor.
It's when you drive into innocent people as happened in France just a few weeks ago.
It's when you blow innocent people on a daily occurrence as is happening in the Middle East, or as a one off which happened here in 2005, in Madrid in 2004, New York in 2001, and in Mumbai in 2008 which lasted four days.
It's when you run a soldier down, practically behead him in public, then claim your innocent and want your sentence reduced.
It's when you bury women and children alive for being Christian, as is happening in Syria.
It's when you behead journalists, volunteer aid worker, and your own people video record it, and send it off for political purposes.
It when you convert to a religion, then a take a picture of your son holding a man severed head with the caption "That's my boy."
It's when you preach hate, and brainwash people into becoming canon fodder, like the suicide bombers.
There's you definition of extremism, people who take things to the extreme.
Currently the left are worrying about the after effects towards 'moderate' Muslim's, which is taking away the dignity of the real victims, those who were gunned down for drawing a picture, or just going about their daily business, such as the police officers.
Stop defending people who have been maimed, and start joining us against the fight of Islamic extremists, ignoring didn't work, hoping they'd go away didn't work, it's time to get tough, not on 'moderate' Muslims, just on those freaks who'd kill over a picture.
