Walaa’s Weekly Wrap-Up ~ April 12th, 2014

A full week packed with varied events. It started with Maria Miller’s resignation and ended with the Conservatives only 1 point behind Labour in the polls.

Maria Miller resigning after fighting to clear her name and keep her job, despite what some might think, was a selfless act.

She was pushed out by public opinion which we all know is shaped by media. Read my take on her resignation HERE

Remind me again what it I said about the media earlier? After Miller’s resignation David Cameron appointed Sajid Javid to the post of Culture, Media and Sports Secretary. Javid who happened to be Asian and from a working class background, is also a brilliant mind and excelled in banking making himself a tidy fortune before becoming an MP.

But it seems our media and political commentators are solely excited by his background and skin colour!

The Oscar Pistorius trail is televised on Sky. If the intention of airing it was to help viewers decide or even understand what happened, it failed. Granted I’m not diligently following the case, but from what I’ve seen it gets more confusing each day. I am less sure now of his guilt or innocence than I was when I first heard the news of the shooting last year.

Nothing adds up, nothing proves he is guilty and nothing shows he is innocent – the whole thing does not make any sense!!!

But that’s my opinion.

This best news and the most important news to everyone in the UK, including the two Eds (Miliband and Balls) is the IMF saying the UK is the fasted growing economy in the G7.

It speaks for itself. It proves that austerity works and this government is on the right track. It says Osborne and Cameron are the winning team and stay away from Labour and the two Eds.

The news also closed the polls between Labour and the Conservatives and between UKIP and the LibDems.

And on this happy note, I would like to leave you with this clip that had me laughing for two days. This little boy is a brilliant, brilliant negotiator and I expect him to go very far in life.
