Why is French running part or all of our Olympic Village in London?
I love Paris.. don't get me wrong! We beat France to win this right to stage Olympics and I am enjoying it. Are they given the right to run this for them to give us right to run this part of theirs if they ever win their right to stage Olympic or is there a greedy person who benefit if they allow outsider to run it for us when we know we are capable to run everything to benefit us especially during our double deep recession? Only serious person need to comment or answer. If you dont know anything about this, dont bother.. No insinuations. Direct answer will be nice.

This is in veiw of his attitude on NHS reform and on mass snooping of British citizens which is on its way
11 AnswersGovernment9 years agoAre you intending to vote No or Yes to AV and why?
Personally, I have not seen any reason for me to vote against the current voting system. For instance, I am 100% sure that the current coalition government have no mandate from british people to do most of what they are currently doing like TREBLING University fees to £9000. No party won the election last time.and current voting system allow us all to see that. This government is like a patchwork quilt. I doubt if the country is in as bad a shape as they are telling us. We are able to lend Ireland money and wage war. One tomahawk missile is said to be around 300,000. How much is Brimstone missiles and despite all that, Gaddafi's army still currently hold all the oil refineries in Libya
How many of us has physically seen most of our constituency candidates before election? How on earth am I likely to decide on who I select as my second choice? What I am trying to say here is that most of us at best vote for party on political party's promises meaning: We vote for whoever the party choose to represent them in elections. This field is never big enough for AV to work on. At the end of the day, it will always be two Parties' race with any other closest party in third.
So technically, most voters are loyal to Labour and Conservatives and then there are independent voters. Lib Dem seems to have shot themselves on the foot at the time when their base began to solidify - I suppose it doesn't take long b4 power get into some heads. Poor Lib Dem! It is almost impossible to believe them again
Any way, I will be voting No to AV solidly on the reasons above and in addition to that is the fact that only the Vote Yes to AV letter came through my door. That is like ramming that idea into my neck. I decide what to vote for. based on what I know... Not what some celebrities support.
14 AnswersElections1 decade agoAlthough burning the Koran is no justification for the killings of the UN staff, what about the Pastor?
As a Christian and a citizen of the western world, Pastor Jones and his followers are very unhelpful and betray their nation. for non-spiritual gain, At the time when the Coalition are keeping their fingers crossed and hope they can hand over Afghanistan to Afghan people, cut the financial and human cost of the war, I personally do not expect any ordinary person to burn Koran and for a Pastor? So so wrong. Koran to a Christian is like a digger to a musician
He was aware of cartoon problem in the past and i am sure he knew he was giving hardliners the excuse to kill innocent people. I looked at Mathew 5 in the Bible where Jesus list the kind of people who are blessed, Pastor's attitude on this one do not place him in any.
I hope when he decide to burn any other religious holy book in future, he should try and do that without national flag behind him.
7 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoIsn't it time for a Global Task Force to be created by UN to service UNSC orders?
If a Global task force is already available. internal disagreement among Nato members is unlikely to be so obvious for any one country to try and take advantage of like Gaddafi is trying to do. That self appointed Libyan Leader is like a can of tomatoes which has gone pass it's usable date. He need to go. And I believe it is a big fat failure of the Coalition effort if he survives. It is time everyone understand that Country's interests is a greater interest for any country's leader than a tribal ones. What do you think?

Whites mostly and Black and others make Obama's nominee a possibility for the DNC. You are all part of that history now. I thank you like I thank S Africa in 1994 and I thank you all for your foresights. You are really an example for the rest of this Globe to follow. Your sincere thought matters now. Aren't you happy you say no to prejudice?

3 AnswersElections1 decade agoI believe referendum on EU is a MUST for UK. It is a topic bigger than PM and MPs decisions. Am I wrong?
I see EU as a club of countries. If we all wake up tomorrow and find our separate countries with our unique different national languages disappeared, I know Germany and France will be happy.. But are we?
Irish vote is the latest No Vote which is viewed by many Europeans officials as not important now. If Irish NO VOTE is considered as a unimportant until her Leader get a YES VOTE, how important is Irish country going to be as part of a bigger SOVEREIGN State of Europe? A man or woman can force a horse to the riverside, I doubt if 10 or 20 people can force the horse to drink if the horse doesn't want to. I don't think these few people representing our countries have enough peoples' power and decisions to change our national status without us saying so. Iraq war should be the nearest marker to point fingers to the fact that our Leaders get more things wrong than right. As we know, Yugoslavia is no more, USSR has broken into pieces. National governments above EU is still the right way.
5 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoOne main lession. Read, agree, disagree or add more ok?
I think one main lession of this age for all governments of this world to learn and write in bold, framed for all to see in governments' offices is that, "War against any other country over disagreements and other reasons must never involve telling those countries who to rule them and how to rule themselves". It is hard enough to take instructions from friends talk less of getting the same from who you consider as enemy.

18 AnswersElections1 decade agoI think we should do our own small survey here and now. Who should be next President of United State?
There seem to be too many numbers flying around. This is just for a clue. To make it more fun, you need to say something very nice and short without being rude about all the three main candidates.
Your choice first.
