Not likely, a telephone call from the ever-vigilant Mike Bloxham had me riveted in his vociferous allegations. Mike has been instrumental in uncovering corruption, maladministration and a whole host of irregularities. With ties to the Hawks and the Scorpions, Mike does not pull his punches. The sad news Mike had for me was the insinuation that the Manase Report will not make it to court because the opposition party simply do not have the funds to go the distance. The Mayor refused to make it public citing the possibility that it would hinder the investigation that is in the process and at the same time jeopardise the identities of some of the whistle blowers.
What is the use of a police force without a judicial system? It's like having a Ferrari without wheels. The dog with no teeth, is most often the 'but end' of a joke.

Let's face it, war is big business, there is no money to be made in saving the lives of starving children, that only costs money. Humanitarian aid is unsustainable. But war, that is a different story. The banking system loves lending money to government that is at war. They will agree to large percentages of interest and consume billions of dollars of debt. If they cant repay, then there are always the country's assets and population who can be held liable.
Naive as this may be, I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of it like this. The battle the Vatican has on its hands confirms my suspisions that the apple is now completely rotten to the core and movements like Occupy Wall Street, if not addressed properly will soon be in your living room in more ways than just on you rTV screen.
On the other side of the coin, Ian Poulter emerged as a hero when the European team came from behind to win the 39th Ryder Cup as a tribute to the legend Seve Balesteros in what is now known as the Miracle Of Medinah.
