Walaa's Weekly Wrap-Up ~ September 28, 2013

It was quite an eventful week. From Rouhani and Obama not knowing what do with each other to Miliband telling us what he wants to do with this country.

Seems after almost a week, at the United Nations in New York, the Iranian and the US president finally managed a telephone conversation.

However, no one expected the two will do anything face to face that will keep tongues wagging for duration of their presidencies. Now that Iran has a moderate leader and this American administration has almost four years to do something about the Iran situation. I hope the phone chat was about more than niceties.

Ed Miliband gave a vibrant speech on Tuesday. He did it without notes and it had humour, promises to fix the nation, and warnings to big companies. The speech was phase three of the ‘Miliband project’. First he introduced what he saw as bad businesses “predators” then promised “predistribution” and this was the final chapter, where he spelled out his business model and the consequences for those who won’t follow it. Plus he gave examples, energy cost freeze for almost 2 years and land to be confiscated from developers who don’t build on it.

He also announced socialism will prevail under his premiership and industries will be told how to conduct their trade.

Well, I guess if developers, business owners, and all those who don’t think socialism is good for prosperity and don’t want it to rule the day, come 2015 just make sure Labour stays where there are, in opposition.

It is Conservative Party Conference week, the last in the conference season, I have a feeling it will truly be a case of keep the best for last.

Watch out for the leader’s speech this year – I it is going to be a fire cracker, I am very much looking forward to it.
