B**** B**** C****, SOME BRAND!

As almost every facet of our lives sinks to new lows, be it education (lack of), financial competence and basic decency, a large proportion of our compatriots appear to submerge themselves into abject slime. The report over the weekend regarding the vile activities of two of the BBC's top earners involved in a situation where they insulted, on air, therefore at our expense, a much liked comic actor for some cheap laughs. Let us embellish this a little; Andrew Sachs is at least a hundred times funnier than the two so called funny men put together. The appalling thing about this disgraceful episode is that this Russell Brand radio programme had been recorded and vetted before broadcasting, which therefore involves production and editorial staff. Most of us are aware that, to add Jonathan Ross to this toxic situation, things automatically sink to a disgusting level. How can we control this deplorable type of so called entertainment? Easily. They must be judged by members of the public, censoring would not be enough. We need to be looking at percentage reductions in the licence fee for every incident, along with the need for greater public influence on politicians, making them aware of their function, the need to act in the interest of the people, not themselves. The BBC must be concerned and fearful of the consequences of activities deemed to be of bad taste.

The BBC has not, however, cornered the market in base vulgarity. Other channels have much to answer for. Many presenters show a distinct lack of vocabulary. Al Murray, ITV's response to the despicable Jonathan Ross, can be very amusing, having an excellent delivery. Disappointingly deteriorating into expletives when confronted with a guest of his own ilk. It was clear that on the most recent show, Des O'Connor was unimpressed. Murray incidently, has room for a larger wardrobe.

There is also a concern regarding the private lives, particularly of Radio One presenters and those of certain childrens' programmes. Their private lifestyles are the concern of the licence paying public. They cannot live in a drugs fuelled world paid for by the hard working listeners and viewers.







HANDS UP! THOSE WHO WISH TO BE INSULTED BY A PUBLICLY FUNDED BROADCASTER?

THE WESTMINSTER NOVICES HANDICAP.

The longest race ever, as it is now half way through it's twelfth year, is about winners and losers. The politicians being the winners and taxpayer GB the loser. Politicians are always going to win, as we allow them perpetually to move the goalposts and increase their salaries/pensions package at a whim. In addition, hoping to catch the eye of that corrupt operation in Brussels endeavouring to climb on board that enormous 'gravy train', the European Union. Meanwhile, taxpayer GB has to pick up the tab, if not now, later, when the payment will be far greater.





It's so comforting to know that our top weight PM can barely sleep at night worrying on our behalf. Well let us point out to him that it is no good crying over spilt milk when you are responsible for the spillage in the first place. If the economy had been performing as well as this nincompoop has tried to convince us, and too many believed, we could not possibly have finished up where we are. The problem is, that this was all done with 'smoke and mirrors' as described in previous blogs. Trillions of borrowed cash whizzing around the economy, with the newly formed FSA not even playing a passive role in what turned out to be a total disaster.





So what can be done? Surely it's time for taxpayer GB to stand together, forget party differences for a while. We have to ensure that politicians are scared of the electorate and stop talking to us rather like snake oil sales people. It is astounding how easily Jaqui 'I'm a happy hippie' Smith can now lie with such conviction. Why are we not confronting this useless lot by threatening their future with the withdrawal of their pensions pot? It is money extorted from us in the first place, never forgetting that they have destroyed the majority of private pension schemes. Should a manifesto promise be a promise backed by law? To renege on such a promise changes the ethos. It is mooted that we subscribe even more money towards assisting the party's electioneering, just to lie to us again. Parties don't need to electioneer further than performing/opposing in their everyday activities; the public must decide on that evidence alone. Why do we need all these people processing laws previously passed by Brussels? Saving our own money is all important.





We need now to prepare ourselves for the longest 'back straight' ever. Those in receipt of state occupational pensions will appear to be in easy street initially, but don't hold your breath. The diminishing private sector (providers) will soon cotton on. The potential mayhem won't be pretty. Good Government would have spotted this, but not this shower.














NOW LET'S SEE, WHERE DID I PUT THOSE GOALPOSTS?

WHO DUG SKINNER UP?

Dennis Skinner MP (Bolsover & Bygones) was resuscitated at PMQ's this week to make one of his inane inquiries. The writer is pleased not to be the one who revived him with the kiss of life. This inadequate, useless individual is still around after all these years, at our enormous expense, as voting fodder and resident clown, his humour being on a par with their backward, costly policies.





The subject ,of course, was an attempt to embarrass the Tories over the story where the lead is actually played by Lord Sleazeball. Osbourne was certainly naive, but to the more observant, Mandelson is the villain upon whose character we should be concentrating. Was he recalled from Brussels due to his relationship with a certain Russian, who appears to have done well from a deal or deals? His Lordship then has the temerity to enjoy luxurious hospitality aboard the yacht owned by this so called beneficiary. Is it possible that Brussels was questioning this activity? One answer is of course NO! As a number of his old colleagues could well have been enjoying similar perks. Understandable from a bunch who oversee an organization that can't get it's books cleared by the auditors.





Mandelson could only do what had been decided by our Sub Prime Minister, thank you Alex Salmond for that. I've kicked myself for not having seen such an obvious description hitherto. Our new Business Secretary wouldn't have made first base had he stood for a By-election.










IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED THAT THE PART OF NAT ROTHSCHILD WAS PLAYED BY A REFORMING ALCOHOLIC.

LORD MANDY OF FOIBLE.

It is indeed both an uncomfortable and embarrassing time to be British. As if the Mandelson/Campbell old alliance hadn't done enough to put the integrity of our once fair and just nation in jeopardy, the former EU Trade Commissioner is back at the heart of this evil regime. Had he been a Tory, he would have been incarcerated for his earlier misdoings. Under this despicable Government, who run a number of two tier systems, a conciliatory one for their own recalcitrants, regarding the manipulation of the law on these occasions.



The author is pleased however to see a number of journalists starting to dig regarding some of his recent activities, which, on the surface, appear to have his grubby finger prints all over them. We would recommend a close eye on whatever transpires and the inevitable attempted cover up.











SLEEPING SLEAZEBALLS DO LIE!

NO SMOKE WITHOUT MIRRORS.

Ed Miliband, the younger of the two Marxist Brothers, appears to be arranging the ultimate 'closing down sale' for Britain, although I wouldn't expect Scotland to take too much notice as they do very little to affect our climate. We are to reduce our carbon emissions by 80% by the year 2050. Well if we keep this backward Government in power for any longer this will be achieved much sooner.


We actually pay these clowns to talk about sideshows when we have far more serious concerns on our plate.












ARE LOBOTOMIES STILL AVAILABLE ON THE NHS?

McLAREN ENGAGE REVERSE GEAR.

As the F1 season draws to a close so we get the novice antics from what should be a leading motor racing team. The usual pathetic preamble to the race, this one the Japanese affair at Fugi, was informing us that Lewis Hamilton has now matured and is able to control his natural impulses, which could lead to reckless decisions. We are informed that he is surrounded by advisers, including sports psychologists. It would be interesting to know how many motor races they have won between them. The whole thing smacks of the cricket howler, "We'll dib, dib, dib" etc.,


McLaren must be aware that they are not just fighting the other cars but the FIA. who appear to be in the pocket of Ferrari and, in order to succeed, have to employ drivers who don't fold with the winning line in sight. Never flatter to deceive. Use drivers who can stay cool under pressure. The pre race rhetoric suggested that he, Hamilton, only had to follow Massa around. Well he did that alright. I think his driving was the worst ever witnessed from a contender for the world title, much as last year; unless of course it is all a fix.


Conversely, the decision that Bourdais (Torro Rosso) should be on gardening leave if a Ferrari is on the pit straight, is bound to put the future of the sport in some doubt. Supporters do not watch the spectacle to have the result fixed afterwards.







INCIDENTLY, THE SINGAPORE RACE WAS PATHETIC.

SHOW BOAT. A new production.

The story differs from the original inasmuch as the setting is no longer a steamboat on the Mississippi River, more a gravy train that appears to be able to navigate anywhere in the world. The lead, Gaylord Brown, was much coveted by our newest Lord but he had to settle for director. Our hero, who only last month was deemed by his own party to be a crass loser, has suddenly been able to please his doubters by digging his teeth into Taxpayer GB, feasting on OPM (other peoples money) with considerable relish. He reprises the songs, 'Bill' (as in tax) and 'Make believe' (because he can't believe his luck) endlessly. The suckers out there think he has talent, something being projected by the BBC. Well, let us recap on the main scam from his endless list of faults.


The saviour of the planet's economy would be more convincing had he not ignored the personal debt mountain that had manifested itself by around 2003/4. This was naturally to his liking, producing oodles of juicy 'stamp duty' and VAT returns. This he referred to as productivity, unfortunately funded by money that didn't exist, (chorus: 'Make Believe').





We all sing the finale:





JUST MY BILL etc. (Kern/Wodehouse)

COMMUNICATION AIDS, PRO'S AND CONS.

Everytime I spot yet another youngster walking along talking on a mobile 'phone, and it's dozens per day, I think, on the one hand, that they are keeping the economy going with their payments, but on the other, here we have a generation that no longer has time to think. To imagine and plan is something that the mind needs to be doing on a regular basis, we do need moments of privacy to practice this art.


Computers (IT) bring tremendous benefits to our everyday well being. Are these benefits greater than the downside? Hopefully yes. Let us not, nevertheless, overlook the appalling cases of pornography, scams and fraud generally; all of which seem to be occurring on an increased basis. As these septic practices abound, the world becomes a more disreputable place for law abiding citizens. We all may 'huff and puff' without doing anything positive in response. To ignore the consequences has no foundation if we want civilisation to survive.


Businesses could no longer operate without these devices. As they advance in sophistication, they appear to be doing our thinking for us. Does this stop the operative from thinking clearly?

Perhaps!












THE STOCK MARKET COULD SELL YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW IN SECONDS.

THE MORNING AFTER.

It came to pass that Gordon, son of Manse, held back the might of the dreaded credit crunch, hoping to live happily ever after. On this week's edition of 'Question Time', a comment was made about Sitting Bull's sudden smile; easy, he is spending our money, something socialists do readily, this should put a spring in his step for awhile. We can now await his minions blowing his trumpet for saving our economy, along with Europe's and probably the world's. Believe me this will be like a soap opera all the way to the next general election.









JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THE TAXES.

Thursday, 9 October 2008

CHASING THE DEBT.

No sooner than our intrepid cash squanderer has promised to bail out our banks with our money, something that socialists will always be good at, we are then treated to a reduction in interest rates, presumably to get the nation borrowing again, as the Exchequer is missing the taxes garnered from purchases against the borrowed loot. Strange how the word 'save' has disappeared from New Labour's vocabulary. The problem with being a saver is that we finish up picking up the tab of the reckless; this includes politicians, bankers plus a large section of the public.



Don't ever forget that the Government positively encouraged excessive spending along with easy cheap borrowing. Importing millions of unwelcome immigrants was bound to force the indigenous population to form large ghettos around better quality schools, automatically pushing up house prices; leading, in most cases, to people overstretching their resources with ridiculous mortgage terms.


The bankers obviously took the lead from an irresponsible government, forsaking all their, hitherto, best practices and careering down this ill chosen route to, in some instances, oblivion; while still keeping their jobs and those who are to be removed walking away with our money.


Large tracts of the public will plead that they had little choice. Not all, but many, believed the hype that they were on a journey to untold riches, dreaming of selling their property upon retirement and leading a life of sheer paradise. The old maxim, 'The taller they are, the harder they fall' will always be with us. Brown is even more upset, as he had hoped to continue the 'con' until the next election. The crux of the matter is, the frightening aspect, people kept voting for it. Now he's also in charge of your local bank. From here on in, don't expect to have too much wealth. The Government will always find ways to take it from you.


Both politicians and bankers should be facing charges, with a view to having their pensions witheld.









THIS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY UNTOUCHABLE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PUBLIC.

"THE STING" EAST GRINSTEAD STYLE.

We have just spent a week in Kent. You could call it historical revision. Hever Castle, one time home of Anne Boleyn; Knole House, former country seat of the Archbishops of Canterbury, until Henry VIII took a fancy to it; Canterbury cathedral, which we all know was the scene of a most dastardly slaying. Fortunately at the other end of the spectrum we have 'Chartwell', the home of Winston Churchill, plus some wonderful ale.


Unfortunately however, lawlessness abounds in East Grinstead (West Sussex). Looking to fill up with petrol, we pulled into a Shell station advertising it's unleaded @ 109.9, quickly to learn that all the pumps selling this brand where locked. What was available was a premium grade @ 116.9 Thinking that they could have run out, we looked elsewhere and came upon an Esso outlet, 110.9 being their tariff. Hoping to save 6p a litre, flouted again! All these pumps were locked, only their higher grade being available @ 116.9. Do we smell a rat? It would be pleasing to think that Trading Standards are checking on what appears to be a scam.









WE'LL NOT BE RETURNING TO EAST GRINSTEAD IN A HURRY!

SOME UNION, SOME NECK!

The author cannot lay claim to forecasting what would happen to Europe at the first sign of financial instability, but certainly agrees with the cautious view of the brighter, more enlightened economists. Naturally the countries all rush back to being nationalistic. Ireland knew exactly what would happen by offering banking cover far beyond it's means, the pirate gene in the average Brit surfaced immediately. Germany acts in a two faced manner, probably because of future elections, whilst Spain pleads for EU backing as one of their banks plunders our banking system. Someone is being less than honest.

Could we suggest that now is the time to strike at the very heart of Europe to expose the fraudulent activities. If we really need this union cleaning up, as it is long overdue.









EURO-LAND, IT'S SO MUCH MORE CONVENIENT, DREAM ON!

enemiesreunited.com

We shouldn't be surprised at Brown's latest stunt, recycling toxic waste from early New Labour. Probably the lies might be a little more sophisticated, which could mislead the slow learner, but should dig the Government's grave much quicker. In addition to Mandelson and Beckett we are informed that we could well see the return of the man who gave the 'black spot' to masses.

Incidently, do we need stupid politicians using gimmicky phrases? "No Brainer" indeed. Please rearrange the following into a well known phrase or saying, "Lost Get", and then act upon it.
