Two totally different circumstances,one the Arab spring fighting for freedom an regime change, The other, I shall call Western spring fighting about hardship for their people having to bail out their countries economies,UK Greece etc.Both seem to relate to greed arab spring by leaders not providing for their people ,Western spring demonstrating about the total greed of the banks.Quite similar in may ways.Any comments ?

Greece WILL have an ongoing problem even if they get the loan,as far as I can see Greece has no chance of ever repaying this debt, this will impact without any doubt on the Euro countries,I suspect that such a circumstance will have the effect of bringing about the death of the Euro,probably a good thing for big countries of the Euro countries like France and Germany who MAY then revert to their previous currency.Southern European countries, Portugal, Greece, and the smaller members will have big problems and will be unable to get any loans from anybody,a knock on effect for Banks will also take place resulting in a melt down of the western financial system.
In this case GORDON BROWN did the UK a favour in not making UK join the Eurozone perhaps the only good thing that he has done during his time in office.

West is more like autumn, and winter is coming soon which is inevitable death. East is rising. Nothing is eternal but God. There is a turn for everything. Turks will be back to Hun days, Africa will be back, China, India are going back, Islamic Empire will be back. Like Buju Banton says, soon:

There's no life in the West-uh
I know the East is the best,


diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.

Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices.

Well, there was a little rain. No wind. Excellent whether. Sunny. Hot hot hot. That is what I like. Jamaica has been kind to me. As usual.
