Time Flies!  

It's that time of year again! It only seems like 5 minutes ago that we were last preparing for Christmas, time really does fly.....It has certainly been a busy and fairly dramatic year, internationally, nationally and in Northamptonshire. I think we were all frankly amazed by the Arab Spring. First, we saw Tunisia over throw their Government, then Egypt and finally the brave Libyans achieved the end of Gadaffi's long years of dictatorship. Meanwhile there is still unrest in Syria and in Egypt. I said towards the beginning of the year that it is a dangerously fine line that foreign governments must tread in their efforts to try to help other nations. We had to make that decision with regards to Libya, whether to impose a no fly zone and whether to help arm Libyan rebels. I believe that Parliament made the right decision to intervene in Libya and whilst the road ahead will be hard, I hope...
