QUANGO, QUANGO, QUANGO, QUANGO!

Extraordinary how a government can ignore impending power crises for years, to then rush through a bill flying in the face of local democracy regarding planning decisions. The implication however, that this is solely for purposes of power generation, is a complete red herring. For years this dim outfit masquerading as a government has been juggling with more balls than those in a frame of snooker and has reached the obvious conclusion that we have to return to expanding our nuclear option. They sold off all our expertise in this area which will now force us to purchase from elsewhere. I seem to recall that we were the forerunners regarding nuclear power stations soon after WW11. We are being wrongly informed that wind turbine power has a big future. If we covered the whole of Britain with these monstrosities we would only generate a fraction of the electricity required, subject to wind power, at an extortionate cost. Plus the fact that we could become airborne in a high wind.



So we can now expect instant bulldozer like activity from this proposed planning Quango. This on the surface seems an efficient path to tread. If however you are to have one or more of the proposals on your doorstep I suspect a different conclusion would be reached. We could as a
nation debate this indefinitely but always coming to the same conclusion, that we shall require even more electricity in the future unless we reduce the size of population. Can we imagine a time when we can't turn on the TV, computer and cooking facilities. Banking (cash machines), shopping and business etc., another setback, plus the fact that in winter a lot of people will suffer, believe me our lives will be turned upside down. All this being the fault of a dithering goverment in it's third term. WHO VOTES FOR THIS TRIPE?.



The Denouement:



But this is the crunch, a Quango with what will be supreme powers. Expect an Eco town or a nuclear waste dump near you. Well here's a suggestion, let's put the waste dumps under the Eco towns. "NEXT APPLICATION PLEASE".

HERE WE GO! HERE WE GO! HERE WE GO!.

It should be a total shock to a democracy witnessing what has been going on within the EU this week. Why can't a once stable, fair minded people confront the problem of dictatorial governance both here and in Brussels? The back lash from these ogreish European club members was a disgraceful exercise of vulgar audacity. As warned previously in 'VIVA DEMOCRACY 1', we are allowing these 'little Hitlers' to stamp all over our rights without a by your leave or any acknowledgement that the providers exist. We, the tax payers, are the providers producing the wherewithal. If we are to return to acting on the will of the majority, we have to force the government to engage with us on issues of soveriegnty; these considerations are not a ball to be kicked about at the behest of these spineless individuals who are prepared to engage the 'MUGABE MODE' button at any sign of democracy taking hold. Please understand out there that this is immensely dangerous and could create the very problem which the forefathers of the European project were trying to avoid. To airbrush the voting public from the situation has to be political dynamite. This is up to us.



What therefore are we to do?. Can we work towards a system as outlined earlier in 'BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH', whereby an MP has to answer firstly to the constituents; surely this is within the realms of possibility with the assistance of modern technology.



In conclusion, how did this situation come about?. Let us look at our main protagonist the PM, known to our blog readers as Sitting Bull. Having already established that his limited experience regarding economics was organising a fuddle at university before destroying the UK economy. This was achieved by forever moving the goalposts and allowing wall to wall credit, which any thinker recognises as being impossible to sustain. So, as the chickens have come home to roost, he cannot remove the egg from his face, hoping his elevation to PM will exonerate him from any blame. Impossible, as any vestige of popularity was bound to plummet. Europe, therefore, is his only escape route, as Alex Salmond has outmanoeuvered him north of the border, Ergo, Brussells is where he will continue to curry favour for his future solace, all of which is at our expense.



Footnote: On the BBC lunchtime news Friday 20th. June they mentioned an item of late news that the Law Lords had instructed the government to halt progress on the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty as there is currently an objection to it going through the High Court. This is obviously very important and should have been a headline at six o'clock, where it didn't get a mention. WE HAVE GOT WORK TO DO.

A MULTI-CULTURAL CONCERN

Will we soon have as many different coloured 'Police associations' as we have wheelie bins?.

'VIVA DEMOCRACY' 2

As we are all aware by now, David Davis has stood down to fight for his own parliamentary seat on a point of principle. That principle being the extension given for detaining suspected terrorists. I'm not going into detail here on that grubby exercise in parliament regarding the voting for the bill. The pleasant shock is to find that we actually have at least one 'conviction politician' who has placed his job on the line to highlight the endless injustices that go on at Westminster. Personally, I've got my fingers crossed that it might, with a little luck and a fair wind, trigger changes for the better. The smart conservative should get behind him and back him all the way, disregarding any criticism even from Tory ranks. Our whole system needs shaking up. This could just be the start of something.

"VIVA DEMOCRACY" 1.

Twice in one day has democracy risen like a phoenix from the ashes of dictatorial excesses. God bless the Republic of Ireland for seeing through the appalling attitudes of the Brussells' clique. They, the Irish, were at least given the opportunity to vote down the EU constitution, heavily disguised as the Lisbon treaty. Of all the members of the union the 'Republic' was the only nation allowed to consider its own national identity, in the face of much scaremongering from senior 'community' politicians, Bernard Kouchner the French foreign minister for one. In a democratically run grouping he would naturally be dismissed. We are, however, only too aware that the EU is a political club run on socialist lines for the benefit of the administration. Amazingly, as the early news of the result was manifesting itself, our 'intrepid' PM, 'Sitting Bull', was cozying up to his french counterpart assuring him of our backing for this arrogant imposition, the EU constitution.



The next move, needless to say, is the thing to watch. We can expect the EU hierarchy to give the Irish the opportunity to see the error of their ways, which no doubt will include bribes and threats in best 'Mugabe mode'. Should this transpire to be the case, any European politician who would criticise Mugabe should have to take the long walk.



Let us remind ourselves briefly what the aims of the 'Union' are:- they are to control our lives at every turn, employing as many of us as useless jobsworths paid for by the state, which I can assure you has already run out of cash. It is high time that 50 million + English folk stopped falling for this self indulgent Scot and insist on a greater say in our own destiny. Isn't it a disgrace that we have to rely upon the Irish to assist us in this endeavour.

THREE CHEERS FOR THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Being a disenchanted Anglican, I raise both a glass and my hat to Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor. Although we do have men of principle within my wing of christianity, unfortunately not at the very top, the current incumbent in pole position, sadly, is what I refer to as a 'political bed wetter'. The question of adoption agencies being obliged to offer children to same sex couples is totally beyond the pale. Reference was made to this in the earlier blog MUMMY AND MUMMY, WHAT IS A DADDY? I can only reiterate the problems and concerns this move will generate for the future. I'm confident however that the Cardinal will fight the corner of the mature thinker.







Can we ever return to being both natural and logical?. I WISH.

NEW LABOUR WITH A BALL

It is almost impossible to believe that football continues to operate as though it were in a different economy. Manchester United and Chelsea, we are informed, have a combined debt of £1.5 billion. I'm sure that I don't have to remind the majority that these two clubs fought both the amusingly named Premiership Championship and the European Champions League. This debt is outrageous, a fact that UEFA chief Michel Platini appears to have his teeth well and truly into, metaphorically speaking, with considerable justification. We can imagine that, if Northern Rock were a football club, they would be challenging for top spot. We are assured that this mountain of money is guaranteed, just as we were with high street banks. Let us not forget that most of the money in these banks belongs to us! Could I suggest more considerable zeal.

Incidentally, having sat through the thoroughly boring European cup final, it's difficult to identify why it generates all this cash. We should refer to it as the ultimate 'spitting finals' combined with the 'read my lips swearing competition'. Whatever these occasions are they have little to do with football, the ball itself only has a bit part and the over hyped so called stars appear in brief walk on roles throughout the duration of the back street occasion. When they have finished spitting/swearing and crying, they return to their opulent homes funded by this massive debt. Remember who put the money in the bank to start with. I suspect that both 'Sir Alf' and 'Cloughie' would be turning in their graves witnessing the fall of a once wonderful game.

SENIOR TORY CONFRONTS 21st. CENTURY

How refreshing to note that former minister Peter Lilley has the audacity to suggest, quite rightly, that MPs should be due for reductions in salary as their function in 80% of cases is only to rubber stamp EU legislation, remember them, an unelected army who's name will never appear on a ballot form.


Should we choose to ignore, what in many cases are nothing more than disgraceful impositions, for much longer, we will slide irrevocably into an abyss of red tape so beloved of our socialist minded European Masters, assisted by our own incompetents in Westminster.


Our views on the question of our MPs were touched upon in the earlier Blog 'NO MAN IS GOOD ENOUGH TO GOVERN ANOTHER ETC'. Considering one option on how they should be paid, plus the fact that there are now far too many of them.


Let us not disregard that, neither the current Government along with the LibDems are or would both be incompetent to govern the country and therefore just go along with Brussels to create myriads of non jobs.





KEEP UP THE ATTACK PETER LILLEY!
