With Israel flexing its muscles at the moment in a 'this town ain't big enough' row with Iran, one has to ask.

If Israel attacks Iran preemptively can the West afford to stand back and not do anything?

Wouldn't this be two faced?

But what action should or could the West do to save face?

We have to take into consideration that it could escalate to an all out war between Israel and Islamic states not discounting the use of nuclear warheads if Israel is put into a position where they may be overrun.
Could the West survive? Would we see a crash bigger than the depression and the possibility of World War?

Is it about time Israel had its reins pulled in. How can the West justify it being a nuclear state whilst we stop countries around it from 'protecting' themselves.

I fear every action and re-action that Israel makes, as it takes us one step towards the biblical recorded Armageddon.

As the main budget holder of the house I can say that Inflation is not at 3% as suggested in this mornings papers but more like 8% if you take into account these facts.

Most peoples wages have been capped under the Inflation rate for the past 3 years and in some cases this has been compounded by wages rises being payed in two increments a year. This has resulted in a general reduction in spending power.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) takes into account electric goods and clothing which this country purchases from countries mainly using the Dollar as currency, this being so low against the pound has artificially kept White and Brown goods lower than last year and effecting the overall CPI.

Whereas food stuffs mainly bought from EU countries have seen hefty rises due to increased fuel costs.

If like me you live from day to day just putting food on the table, a roof over your head and getting to and from work, you would have seen a massive increase in the cost of living.

I myself received a £50 a month raise only to see a £50 a month rise in rent (10%), £5 a month rise in Council Tax, at least £20 increase a week on shopping bills and £20 a month on travel.

So for my £50 a month raise I now have to find at least another £160 a month to live like I did last year.

Isn't it about time the country stopped lying to itself and admit their sums don't add up?
