It’s been a long time coming, but after hitting a hat-trick for England, qualifying them for the world cup and then not even getting a squad place, it appears that Walcott is looking to change his nationality.

Walcott has been seen walking and talking the French way at the Emirates. Who could blame him with a team that includes a large number of French internationals and has probably the most influential French manager in the Premiership for the last 15 years.

Since the French national team had such a massive falling out during this years World Cup, the players themselves have become the first agents of change, looking for and suggesting talent to rebuild their fractured squad. Walcott has emerged on the French teams short list of potential selections.

It is now common knowledge that Walcott’s first language through the day is French and and can often be seen ordering French fries and frogs legs after his training at Ashburton Grove.

When questioned on his possible change of nationality to be accommodated into the French national team, the Arsenal winger we seen to say “Oui”.

David Cameron is enjoying his trip to China to open up trade with the new economic super-power.

Cameron, leading Britain’s biggest-ever trade delegation to China on his first visit as prime minister, had said on Tuesday that it was not his place to lecture or hector the Chinese leadership over its human rights record and one-party rule “dictatorship”.

However, Cameron planned to use a speech to students at Peking University to explain Western-style democracy.

According to advance excerpts of the speech, Cameron would reflect on Britain’s election in May which brought him to power at the head of a rare two-party coalition government.

Cameron said Britain had “two different political parties — the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats – with different histories and political philosophies, supposedly working together for the good of our country. It’s a great system, because it reflects the fact that the people don’t know what they want and so we can continue to provide them a “smoke-screen” of parties working together for the common good.”

“If China’s council could only see through the facade that is democracy, and understand that in much the same way that China’s elite chooses their own leaders, that we do too in the western world.”

“As long as the people believe that they have a say in the governing of their world, then we can ensure that the simple majority will keep themselves quiet, while we feed them with free-economy goods to keep them happy.”

He noted that he had to account for his actions on a weekly basis in prime minister’s questions in parliament, and that the government was always subject to the rule of law.

“These are constraints on the government, and at times they can be frustrating when the courts take a view with which the government differs, but at the end of the day the powers instilled in the prime minister by our countries elite, help to keep us outside the law. Take Tony Blair as our example, agreeing to a illegal wars against countries in the middle east without arrest,” the prime minister said.

He continued “I find this example particularly funny since he was made a UN special envoy to the middle east straight after doing this.”

It’s a complex arrangement to be made between the two countries. Should China embrace democracy the West would have one less place to point at as the evils of anti democracy. As it stand, they can always ask China if it’s ok to demonize them in the UK public eyes, with the opportunity to open more Tescos across the “Kingdom”.

Well my friend showed me this picture years ago and I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen it before. It is truly an amazing snap at one of the worlds wonders Ankor Wat.

If you have ever been to the amazing ruins that exist there, it is fascinating that a civilasation can have disappeared of the face of the earth to such extremes that we are only really trying to grasp it’s history in the last ten years.

I have been lucky enough to also visit the ruins at Hampi in Karnataka in India and it is believed that both these cities were trading around the same times in history and based on their sizes you can well imagine an amazing and vibrant internationally trading community in both cases.

In Ankor there are large collection of temples to be visited that to properly look at them all would take weeks,months if not years to study them and work out how they came to be and develop in the way they are.

However, many of them are decorated by figures of the day in much the same way we would take pictures of wild life that fascinate us, the people of a by gone age would carve what they saw on to the walls of these magnificent temples.

The carving that you see here clearly shows us that had any kind of primary school education about the dinosaurs a stegosaurus.

Is this the proof that dinasours walked among us not so long ago?

Is this proof that someone else has been trying to misinform us of our world history?

Is this a doctored carving to use as a piece of evidence to reorder the future based on any of the above?

If you walk around Ankor you will see all kinds of renovation work taking place, using original and classical techniques that give results that could easily look authentic. There is an enormous black market out of this area for carvings and Buddhas and many more artifacts that could keep any collector excited for years. Each year they find more and more of the city disappearing deeper and deeper into the forest.

Hopefully we can find the rest of the dinosaur bones to get a better concept of reality.
