High Society, No such thing and Big: High Risk Cameron gets high in the sky.

As I put finger to keys news breaks as David Cameron lands in Egypt as his 'Window of opportunity' for reform in Egypt is open. I was about to talk (write) about, well the first part of the above title and the Cameron ideological moves towards Americanisation(in republican political terms), I mean shrinking government. Apart from my strong misgivings regarding making public service one big charity organisation (or is it loads of little ones) incoherently making tea and saying oh how awful while others rant against the machine, it is truly a remarkable exposure and measure of how much uncalculated risk the man is willing to take.

Of course, the very meddling from the former colonials (in the eyes of the Arabs) is what brought about the regimes that they have come to detest in the first place. So surely landing in Egypt now as well as unstitching the fabric of Britain are bad for erm, well Britain!?

If I was every in doubt I am now sure. The prefects have taken over the school and they are in a little rowing boat in the middle of the pacific, Nic on one oar and Dave on the other.

Thank heaven for little girls!

Newsnight again with Kirsty at thw wheel today. Gigi Ibrahim is on again as Egypt takes another interesting turn. Whether it be people power or stirring by the 'West' Mubarak clearly hasn't read the script. Barak (not Mu) may also have played his cards a little earlier than he should have.

I went to an all boys bording school and this reminds me of when decent young boys are made prefects. Power is a drug and the adiction is irational.

NewsNight 09-02-2011 Gigi talking and me tweeting!

I posted this on Twitter earlier today 
"NewsNight: did anyone note the thick silence when Gigi Ibrahim said she was a Revolutionary Socialist? So eloquent and pro democracy too!"
My main focus was my little girl on my lap taking from a bottle in my hand and the fact that I was quite exhausted and really didn't want to fall asleep with her there. As a distraction, Newsnight is my often friend on these occasions. They were talking earlier about revolutions and young educated women coming to the surface as leaders and so on. An interesting development in itself, bit not my concern here.


Gigi Ibrahim, speaking fluent American English with a subtle Arabic Accent waxed eloquently and intelligently  as the host (cant remember who is was now;I was tired) asked generally about events and brought in other guests etc. Then the question was posed whether the protesters had any political leanings or ideologies as it was implied that the revolution in Egypt not an ideological conflict, political religious or otherwise. quite matter of factly Gigi responded that she was a revolutionary socialist but that didn't necessarily reflect the views of other protesters. The silent deep breaths of air in the studios of other guests and the host told a tale that may define the west's approach to the final outcome.


I am sure the Commercial and military deals will still be in place who ever comes in.
