YOU'VE EITHER GOT OR YOU HAVEN'T GOT STYLE.

The great Obama 'lick in', Brown is a total embarrassment. We can only imagine that addressing the President as Barack, for public consumption, was engendered to assist in some kind of point scoring. By the time of next month's big 'love in' on home turf, we can expect a welcome greeting 'Barry baby'. Barry was how the President was known as a boy.

It was interesting to note that Brown didn't once criticise the Americans for their 'Sub prime folly'. The folly is endemic within the Democratic party by the way, something he rarely omits to mention when talking down to us. Strangely never to mention our own 'Sub prime folly'.

Some eighteen years ago the writer recalls spending a day on Martha's Vineyard, the weather was superb, in fact almost everything about the place was glorious. Just one thing left a bitter taste, the view from Edgartown, over to Chappaquiddick and the thoughts of a young woman being left to die by Senator Edward Kennedy, who is about to be, according to reports, made an Honorary Knight of this Realm. There must be plenty of people in this country who are familiar with the track record of his family. Father having made great wealth from his 'bootlegging' activities during prohibition, subsequently became Roosevelt's ambassador to Great Britain, 'high tailing' the scene, soon after the outbreak of WWII. He thought that we were about to have our necks wrung like a chicken. The author isn't sure whether or not Churchill was referring to Kennedy snr., with his own legendary response to such talk, "Some chicken, some neck!". For much of the time of the troubles in Ulster, during the latter half of the twentieth century, Kennedy E. was fund raising for the IRA, to create considerable carnage on the mainland, in addition to Ireland itself. Can our PM, therefore, be doing anything more than creeping up to the new regime by taking this decision.

Has John Major been recognized sufficiently for initiating the 'Peace process'?
