BROWNED OFF.

Is there anyone left standing who is not completely disgusted by this ridiculous Prime Minister of ours? This economic neophyte Gordon Brown, who keeps turning up at EU gatherings, having flown, presumably, keeping up his carbon footprint, to give away yet more of our money which we no longer possess, thanks to him.


A few letters to the press of late are suggesting that closer co-operation with Brussels is designed to make it more efficient, when all it seems to do is make it even more expensive, at least for some of us.


Let us fast forward to a situation whereby we might have that 'self server' Blair as President of this seedy undemocratic outfit. Just imagine the horrendous bill that will follow, just to satisfy the forever onwards and upwards ambitions of these deceitful creatures.


We have advised here previously, that there is no excuse for us to sleep walk into oblivion; older folk understand this. Why can't the younger generation see the dangers that lie ahead? The law plus the cost in particular.







PLEASE WAKE UP!

LORD MEDDLESOME AND HIS PROTEGES.

It is being suggested that the nations decision maker, in the person of Lord Meddlesome of Foible, is promoting the 'thoroughly modern' Milibands as the future of the Labour Party. That's right, the Marxist Brothers, Dummo and Minnow. Let us hope that we don't all get trampled in the rush to the cause.

The CVs of these two nonentities reads rather like a stuttering horror story. Both have had involvements in soaring tax bills, with their respective edicts on the 'red herring' known as climate change. In performing this total waste of tax payers money, they have both won considerable air miles.

So what would either of them bring to the table? Well as this blog is entitled 'Government by PlayGroup', we certainly wouldn't expect anything grown up. They are the epitome of the title; Neither of whom having done a proper job, although that is a major fault throughout Parliament.

It is probably worth mentioning Dummo's recent plea to the EU on behalf of his mentor, the deplorable Blair. This was no doubt an effort to get his foot in the door as an escape route following the next election, with a view to a cosy number in Brussels and the thought of another pension financed by taxpayer GB.







NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT.

THE AFTERMATH OF AN ECONOMIC ILLUSION.

The author is grateful to Dan Atkinson for his weekly item in the Sunday press with succinct detail of what is going on in the world of domestic and national economics. Last weekend he reminded us of the travesty that has occurred in the last decade in these sceptred isles.

During this time, with the help of smoke and mirrors, the economic neophyte which is Gordon Brown, not only borrowed in our name but also encouraged the simpletons to borrow in their own names (because there is VAT on every purchase), which propelled the economy to advance, fuelled by the generation of money that never existed.

The deficits which are now history for any student to study; these include private borrowing, trade and Government indebtedness. In August 2000 £522 billion was outstanding on mortgage debt, plus £123 billion on consumer credit. By September 2009, these figures were £1.2 trillion and £229 billion respectively.

In 2000 our trade in goods and services was in the red to the tune of £18 billion, by 2008, the gap had increased to £38.4 billion.

2000-01, saw the Government's current budget - covering day to day spending - was in the black to the tune of £19 billion. For the year £2009-10, the forecast suggests a deficit of £132 billion.

To add to our woes, our manufacturing workforce has shrunk during this period from 4.3 million to a little over 3 million.

THE SIGNS ARE ALL IN PLACE FOR THE REAL CRUNCH.

FRENCH RESISTANCE.

Another item triggered by a letter to the press. A correspondent from Louth, Lincs., made comparisons of how the French treat immigrants. 1. Learn the language, 2. Pay for your own translator, 3. Return to where you came from. In a similar situation, a friend of the correspondent, on leaving hospital, was given a simple two line message, which was repeated in twenty other languages. This would have been at some considerable expense to taxpayer GB, particularly when multiplied a few hundred thousand times.



God bless the French, who are now insisting even more on teaching their national religion and national anthem to all.





IF WE IGNORE OUR OWN RELIGION WE'LL HAVE OTHERS FOISTED UPON US.

HIDDEN EXPENDITURE.

Occasionally an item is revealed in letters to the press which is so important, something that would never appear in the six o'clock news or be asked as a question on Question Time. When the Humber Bridge was completed around 1980, the cost of construction, £90 million, was to be paid off with the toll charges. Over subsequent years the debt increased, although written off in the 1990's, that figure is now around £360 million.














NEVER TRUST THE EXCHEQUER WITH SIMPLE ARITHMETIC.

BIGOTRY, PROBABLY; TREACHERY, CERTAINLY.

What a childlike programme the recent edition of Question Time turned out to be. We had the BNP's Nick Griffin caged rather like an animal for baiting, surrounded by Jack 'the last' Straw, Baroness Warsi, Chris Huhne and Bonnie Greer; it would be fair to say that the women made the better showing on the night, but that isn't saying much. The topic of the week was postal services, with not even a mention. If Griffin was there to be exposed, then he should have had the opportunity to answer direct questions on the NHS, Iraq and Afghanistan. From such questioning the public would be able to assess whether or not he has any substance. The one area where he didn't have to say anything at all was on immigration, as our Justice Secretary shot himself in the foot. This was immediately exposed by the Baroness and the elegantly dressed black gent in the audience. We have been totally mislead, however, by all the main parties regarding this very sensitive subject, along with the lies told regarding the EU. As long as such mendacity continues the BNP can expect more people to vote for them.







STRANGELY, THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS.

MERITOCRACY OR THE WAY BACKWARDS.

The consideration of quotas has reared its ridiculous head again, little boys never learn. Any suggestion of Cameron adopting the socialist pursuit of rigging the nominations for election of MP's will see my vote go elsewhere, should there be a suitable candidate.

As democratic politics no longer exist in the UK, the prime function of the Westminster assembly is merely to ratify edicts from Brussels; we could probably train next door's cat to perform that function. This pretence of diversity is what we have come to expect from a nation so lacklustre that we are considered a laughing stock elsewhere.










THIS IS NOT A GAME.

LESS THAN FIFTY DAYS TO SAVE THE WORLD.

Tell that to the Chinese. It's extraordinary the lengths that a clown like Brown will go to to deflect from our economic woes.

We are paying out mountains of money to a bereft government, who, either come up with theories of climate change or swine flu. The latter may have some credence, but should global warming be true, there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. Scaring children with sensationalised TV adverts is completely beyond the pale.

What we have now to consider is how we bring this inept outfit to face charges, ensuring that we never have to tolerate such an imposition ever again, without first perusing their CV's.











PRESUMABLY, WE CAN FORGET CHRISTMAS.

LET OUR MPS HUFF AND PUFF.

Any house blowing down is strictly in the public's domain, as our parliamentarians are totally out of order.


Strange that we should be championing John Mann, Labour MP for Bassettlaw in North Notts., as he was one of the members who insisted that his colleagues should be honest when it comes to spending taxpayer GB's hard earned cash. I understand that he is now ostracised around the Palace of Westminster; but what would you expect from an assembly consisting of much rabble. One of the few other Labour Members we have rated as a cut above the rest, Frank Field, is not coming out of this situation smelling of roses, as he intends to appeal against his claim. Individually he may have a point but the big flaw in the politicians' case will remain that they made their own laws to spend our money. Very Brussels-esque.






HE/SHE WHO PAYS THE FIDDLER, CALLS THE TUNE.

WHY DO 'ECO-WARRIORS' USE MOBILES AND LAP-TOPS?

Over the last weekend, demonstrators tried to disrupt our local coal powered power station at Ratcliffe-upon-Soar, near Nottingham. To organise this type of mayhem, they, the mob, have a sophisticated form of networking, using electronic aids which we can only presume use a significant amount of electricity; something they so obviously wish to deny industry, hospitals and homes in general. Can a nation so in debt as Britain, afford to tolerate such damage? Surely they, the demonstrators, have to pick up the tab, otherwise it will reflect in our fuel bills.








UNEMPLOYMENT MUST NOT BE CONSIDERED AS AN EXCUSE.

BILge and Hilary BENN.

As the nation prepares itself to 'slop out' on a grand scale and refuse collection becomes the profession to take up as a career, we can assume that local governments will employ thousands more personnel, who will be employed for a comparatively short period compared with proper workers, retiring on a good pension, (paid for by the overburdened taxpayer GB), at the age of 60. There is no doubt that any addition to sorting our waste will create thousands more jobs, with levels of endless management stretching to the moon and back, when households will have done all the work themselves.

Rubbish can so easily be turned into fuel for power generation. Surely we can devise a system for eliminating the smoke and fumes. Windmills and tidal force are not consistent enough to maintain temperatures that are a requirement by law. There are times when the wind doesn't blow and the sea becomes dormant for a while, at the cusp of high/low tide. The tidal force will be at it's most productive very often in the middle of the night, and windmills are as unsightly as they are ridiculous.

Can we therefore come up with some smart answers before we all wander comatosed into the oblivion awaiting us, as we waste our time increasing taxes from money we no longer possess.



FOR 'BIL' READ LARGE BILL.

MAN OF THE MATCH AFTER ONLY FIVE MINUTES PLAY.

Barack Obama is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on the basis of his rhetoric. This is not to imply that his approach is not commendable, as the new boy on the block. Alternatively, he could be spinning for time, which indeed any new president might have done.

The world seems intent on turning such characters into a celebrity, in this case is it because of his part black ancestry? Plus, are the Swedes operating the award as a political tool?

The following is not offered as a criticism. We do, however, need to look at what the President appears to be saying overall. He seems to want to increase the US presence in Afghanistan, which hopefully could accelerate the conclusion to our involvement; it could be seen as a noble notion, although very tricky. The other area of his foreign policy is his concern over Iran, this is not necessarily regarding the Iranian people but their trouble making President. Obama is obviously quite right in wanting to keep tabs on their nuclear progress. He, unfortunately, gets little support from the rest of the world; the EU purports to have muscle but acts like a kitten, making limited half-hearted statements. All in all he has an uphill battle.

At this stage, is the Nobel prize for Obama any better than Gordon Brown receiving a World Statesman of the year award. It really is almost laughable.

WE CAN ONLY JUDGE WHEN THE FINAL WHISTLE BLOWS.

HAVE YOU MET JACK JONES?

Most of us would never have met the late Jack Jones of the TUC, but plenty of Labour Ministers did and many a member of the KGB also. Apparently, MI5 have now seen fit to disclose the treachery of this man held in high regard by the liberal elite. For decades, Jones was happy to get paid by the Russians for giving them privileged secret information, straight from the lips of the likes of Prime Minister, Harold Wilson. This was probably then filtered through his domestic communist hot bed shared with his wife.


Let us compare that with the same liberal elite of today, I have in mind here the BBC in particular, who's interviewers themselves in receipt of vulgar amounts of money, extorted from us, the public, are forever asking Tory MP's how much they are worth. This kind of questioning is trivia, and certainly won't answer the burning subjects of the day: The Economy and Europe.







THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING ABOUT THE JONES BOY, OR SHOULD BE.

WHEN IS A TREATY NOT A TREATY?

The answer to the above is, of course, when it has been tampered with to suit the voter, as in the case of the so called Lisbon Treaty, which was voted down by the Republic of Ireland. The latter, therefore, were obliged to keep voting on a variant until they said yes. Incidentally, taxpayer GB would have provided monies for the EU's yes campaign, which also encouraged European politicians to coerce the public.


How strange that the European Union, which espouses democracy to the rest of the world, does not practise what it preaches.








THE IRISH VOTED AGAINST THE PROPER LISBON TREATY.
