THE C OF E IN RETREAT.

As the Arch Druid of Canterbury suggests embracing aspects of Sharia Law, which would be similar to being a little bit pregnant, or contracting a mild dose of bubonic plague, one of his Bishops, Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester with a pedigree of traditional Christian beliefs decides that enough is enough. He sees his future in an independent battle supporting small groups of Christians from the oppression of Islam. Ultimately, this will occur on mainland UK and will only mean conflict. The obvious course would be to confront this problem immediately, but doesn't appear to be such a large concern compared, for example, with paid paternity leave and equality in the workplace. This being a complete departure from the teachings of Sharia thinking.

We will reap the consequences of this oversight far too late we fear. It obviously isn't a priority that has accepted a situation of doing as Westminster directs. All this triggered Nazir-Ali's decision to resign, as British morality submerges out of sight and the nation gets dumber and dumber.

It doesn't seem to occur to the population to study where our democracy, sense of fairness, a need for a basic education and above all the freedoms that have been fought for over the centuries came from. Well it wasn't the tooth fairy.







WHY ARE WE THROWING ALL THESE THINGS AWAY?

SPREAD YOUR BETTING WHERE YOU MAY.

The Tory Party continues in rudderless mode by sacking it's largest individual donor, Stuart Wheeler. This is like fighting the battle of El Alamein without artillery. Of course he is backing UKIP in the forthcoming Euro elections, since all our front line parties back the fraudulent Brussels line. Cameron! the man is spelling out what a lot of the nation feels regarding this despicable outfit. Take note of what a small nation such as the Czech Republic is saying. It yearns for the return to democratic principles. Heed his message if you want my vote. I'm afraid the longing of our MP's for a splash of Euro gravy as an ultimate goal, gets a 'big downer' in this blog.









OUR ADVICE IS: STICK WITH BISTO.

'THOROUGHLY MODERN' ON MARR'S.

The weekly diet for Sunday breakfast continues, with the Cabinet Minister unlucky enough to draw the short straw to appear on the Andrew Marr programme. The elder of the 'Marxist Brothers', David 'Thoroughly modern' Miliband, was yesterday's sucker. Only a Marxist could sit there extolling the virtues of our inept Home Secretary, Jacqui 'I'm a happy hippie' Smith. One must be on a very strong form of medication to endeavour to mislead the public on such disgraceful behaviour.














WHAT'S TONIGHTS 'B' PICTURE DEAR?

ANOTHER BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW.

Here we find it difficult to follow why we continue to fund teenage pregnancy. We are considering prime time advertising of the abortion service, amongst other recommendations for birth control, when we should be charging the going rate for these services. The NHS wasn't introduced as a convenience for teenagers to practice their sexual activities. It's prime aim was to keep people fit for work. As we have suggested here previously, this kind of activity finishes up costing us money that we don't possess. We need to demand to know the overall cost. Each abortion must be paid for by the participants and their parents.



Although the author doesn't condone litterbugs, bad parking habits or speeding, these offences pale into insignificance compared to the millions of pounds spent on the above, which only promotes more sexual activity to add to the account of taxpayer GB.









YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS MEDICINE WITH WATER.

BROWN NOSES CLOSER TO BRUSSELS.

Prior to his latest economy wrecking world tour, that's right, another one, our flapping PM was extolling the virtues of the much discredited EU, that 'book cooking' grossly over-staffed, left leaning outfit in Brussels. It appears that he was playing to an almost empty house. Even they had to 'tumble' his lack of understanding of the problem, as he was one of it's architects. He now realises he has to make a pitch for the gravy train trail as his time draws to a close. Unless of course we still have voters suffering from an ongoing aberration, this lust for self destruction.



Back to th USA and onto South America, a regular little 'pinko' trip. It's been suggested that he could also be making concessions regarding the Falklands.











THE EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES OF A CLUELESS CREEP.

KEN CLARKE ROCKS TORY BOAT UNNECESSARILY.

There was absolutely no reason for the Tory's new Business Secretary to mention Inheritance Tax, as the market would have resolved his concerns. If we let the market float itself to a realistic level, and we should, property prices will probably halve themselves against 2006/7 prices.














IF THE MARKET LOSES SO DO WE ALL.

OBAMA SET FOR SEASON IN BLACKPOOL.

Following his appearance on the Jay Leno show, the new President is looking forward to a successful summer in the NW of England. The showbiz' backdrop of these occasions seems so much more in keeping with his rhetoric than that of the White House.











WE THINK WE HAVE SEEN A WHITE VERSION OF THIS ACT.

THE CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR SERVING AS AN MP.

Remember the notion of 'government for the people by the people'? If so, then why don't we spend more time considering it. Time will now be more abundant to most of us following the cessation of the great credit card abusing season which has drawn to a close.


We could draw up an endless list and all the following subjects have been covered in previous postings, albeit independent of each other.


Let us repeat 'government for the people etc' Do not accept government by the Government as an option.


1. Size of Government at all levels, be it national or local and including quangos. All to be reduced in size to about one third.
Reason: If business and commerce can reduce it's staff because of IT, then so must Government. Rubber stamping laws passed in Brussels by unelected personnel, which makes up approx 80% of our legislative process, does not require hundreds of MP's plus their armies of aides. At a local level there are now hundreds of thousands of non jobs, created in the main by more inane EU legislation. If these laws are good for us then the outfits concerned should operate privately, selling their services to us, if we consider them to be appropriate. The choice has to be ours.

2. MP's income and expenses have to be determined by independent bodies.
Reason: In a previous recommendation we considered this to be the responsibility of the MP's constituency, which we have now established will be much larger. The overheads to suit local economy. This will soon sort out the vocational politician from the 'Gravy surfer'.


3. Size of population to be limited to a figure agreed with taxpayer GB.
Reason: It is preposterous to allow a Government to let in millions of unwanted people, many of whom will be living off the rest of us. At the end of each parliament we need to assess the comparative figure with that of the previous one, should this be greater than the figure agreed, then charges need to be brought to that Government responsible, who will have to pay personal fines.


4. Doing what the majority wants. Which means asking regularly.
Reason: In the Labour manifesto for the 2005 General election, most of us are aware of the promise made regarding the EU constitution. (Manifesto; according to the Oxford dictionary, means that it is a statement on future policy.) That only applies, presumably, when it isn't embarrassing to a group who covet positions in this fraudulent masquerade of a controlling body. All the major parties suffer from this syndrome: professing to be 'listening'. That may be so, but they only listen to Brussels and not to the folk who pay. This we must deem as one of the great crimes against democracy. In government, lying to the public has to be treated as the ultimate sin. Punishment: the sequestration of the offending party's pension fund. A state of war might have exemptions.

The Pitfalls: These controls regarding performance of our MP's can only be administered by an honest judiciary, obviously we can't trust one that considers Brussels. Whoever we decide to run this 'puritanical' system would also have to be vetted closely, with regular changes of personnel on all sides. We must not fall for 'the jobs for the boys and girls'.






WE REPEAT: 'THIS IS A MAGNA CHARTA MOMENT'

AT LEAST CAMERON IS BEGINNING TO TALK TURKEY.

The Tory party having allowed themselves to be painted into a corner by events, instead of chancing their arm much earlier, we're talking years rather than months here. When the current bubble in the economy made an appearance around 2003. Making a stink about the debt would have been poo-pooed by the Government and indeed by the gullible public and would still have meant losing the last election but it would have made a substantial mark for the future. In 2003 the author was making noises to his bank that all was not well due to the level of borrowing. This was years ahead of Vince Cable and his irrelevant Lib Dems. On the strength of which, incidently, I don't expect to be the next Chancellor.



As pointed out in a previous blog, neither 'polly nor tickle' can expect a retirement as originally anticipated, as our savings, the interest from which we wanted to subsidise the occasional holiday, has now been denied us. There isn't an alchemist or magician in the world who can change that. That money helps to support banks in the fashion to which they are accustomed. They are only a third of the problem, the others being the weak public, regarding borrowing and finally the appalling bunch in Westminster.



Not only should the opposition be tearing chunks off this reprehensible mob, so should the rest of us. It's time to consider what size of government we require, a third of the current size would be more than adequate. Plus the swathes of nonentities in local authorities. There will never be a better moment than in the run up to the next general election. In our next posting we will make some suggestions.









'BROWNED OFF' AND OUT.

NOT A SOCIALIST OR A CLOUD IN SIGHT.

We find it quite strange on our annual trips to catch up with relatives in South Wales (on this occasion Barry was the destination), we never bump into a Labour supporter. I'm sure there must be some. Not a sign of Gavin and Stacy either.


Cardiff is a fine city, having a considerable amount of regeneration, with some superb eating establishments. However, one suspects that tax payer GB has picked up much of the bill, as with the North East.


One of the highlights of the trip was an excellent musical evening performed by a superb male voice choir (forgotten how to spell the name), supported by a Marine Corps band. This was held at the St. David's concert hall.








IT'S TRUE, NO CLOUDS OR RAIN.

YOU'VE EITHER GOT OR YOU HAVEN'T GOT STYLE.

The great Obama 'lick in', Brown is a total embarrassment. We can only imagine that addressing the President as Barack, for public consumption, was engendered to assist in some kind of point scoring. By the time of next month's big 'love in' on home turf, we can expect a welcome greeting 'Barry baby'. Barry was how the President was known as a boy.

It was interesting to note that Brown didn't once criticise the Americans for their 'Sub prime folly'. The folly is endemic within the Democratic party by the way, something he rarely omits to mention when talking down to us. Strangely never to mention our own 'Sub prime folly'.

Some eighteen years ago the writer recalls spending a day on Martha's Vineyard, the weather was superb, in fact almost everything about the place was glorious. Just one thing left a bitter taste, the view from Edgartown, over to Chappaquiddick and the thoughts of a young woman being left to die by Senator Edward Kennedy, who is about to be, according to reports, made an Honorary Knight of this Realm. There must be plenty of people in this country who are familiar with the track record of his family. Father having made great wealth from his 'bootlegging' activities during prohibition, subsequently became Roosevelt's ambassador to Great Britain, 'high tailing' the scene, soon after the outbreak of WWII. He thought that we were about to have our necks wrung like a chicken. The author isn't sure whether or not Churchill was referring to Kennedy snr., with his own legendary response to such talk, "Some chicken, some neck!". For much of the time of the troubles in Ulster, during the latter half of the twentieth century, Kennedy E. was fund raising for the IRA, to create considerable carnage on the mainland, in addition to Ireland itself. Can our PM, therefore, be doing anything more than creeping up to the new regime by taking this decision.

Has John Major been recognized sufficiently for initiating the 'Peace process'?


CHICKEN LICKIN' BROWN.

DIS-INTEREST RATE.

"What is dis interest rate den, Andy?" "It means there ain't no interest, Amos". As the nation's senior bankers splash about frantically, giving the appearance of being on the job. The only giving involves hard earned taxpayer GB's money.



The Government's grubby fingers are so obviously all over this mess, still cosying up to the vast army of folk drowning in debt, ignoring the backbone of any good banking system, the saver, creating the drift even further down the road to ruin. Banks can only make loans if they confidently anticipate the loans to be honoured. Can the Government honestly believe that we can keep the housing market at the previous high? The money wasn't there in the past, we can't therefore continue to fudge it.









THE MARKET WILL ALWAYS WIN, BE IT NOW OR LATER.

SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

An observer of our previous posts could have detected an enthusiasm for old tunes. Proper tunes. So we are pleased to announce that the author has just commenced broadcasting a record programme. Over the air, this is restricted to Melton Mowbray, Vale of Belvoir on 103 THE EYE. The good news for the rest of the world is that it is available on line, http://www.103theeye.co.uk/ 11 pm (UK time), currently every Tuesday, probably until expiry.









HAPPY LISTENING

PM OR GUIDE DOG.

We are led to believe that Barack Obama is taking Gordon Brown's lead in resolving our financial woes. Forget it! We are in this for the long haul. When eventually we show an upturn in our fortunes, Brown will of course claim that throwing mountains of cash did the trick, when, unfortunately, all that it did was to create greater debt. The writer has noted on a couple of occasions reference to Maggie Thatcher's view on socialism eventually runs out of OPM (other peoples money). The second of the comments suggested that the problem eminates from capitalism, perhaps we need to consider peoples misuse of capitalism, particularly credit.

Meanwhile as our intrepid travelling leader manages to career around the globe, his colleagues plot against him. Much of this is due to keeping the public diverted away from the proper concerns. The economy, expenses, law and order, we could go on indefinitely.

Our lame second in command of the Labour Party, the Harwoman person, suddenly wants to listen to the voters, what a revelation!










DON'T LET THIS MAGNA CARTA MOMENT PASS US BY.
