A KNEE-JERK MR. PRESIDENT.

In principle the author has some sympathy with Barack Obama, regarding his latest stance on the world of banking, however the latter has, unfortunately, been caught out with his timing, which can only be seen as 'headline catching', following his party's reversal in Massachusetts.

As we have written in these postings in the past, too much reliance was put upon the world banking system to deliver us an improved standard of living. We should all be disgusted at the recent Wall St. collapse, since the 'States' does have form in this area. This was, of course, no excuse for similar problems in the City of London.

In actual fact, we joined in the worldwide scam via Hedge funds, Private equity deals etc., although so glamorous to many, the problem was that these deals, on occasions, were based on mythical money, presumably electronic (on line) transactions. So who can keep pace?

The bottom line cannot change, both the US and GB need the banking sector to help survive. Neither nation manufactures enough, having priced themselves out of the market by paying incomes that are too high.



WE COULD, OF COURSE, RETURN TO WORK.

NHS, THE NEW DISEASE.

The true blight that has hit our health care system is, in many cases, the abuse of alcohol, drugs and over eating, or at least eating the wrong type of food in excessive quantities. We don't appear to be able to gain access to figures indicating the amount of money involved in this job creating frenzy, but with modern computerisation, it shouldn't be too difficult. We can apply the same system regarding the cost of patient care for those who haven't paid their dues. As long as taxpayer GB continues to pick up the tab without complaint, the longer gormless government will carry on regardless.

Of the above mentioned categories, obesity is, in a minority of cases, in the genes of the sufferer. This however cannot be the case in all the over sized people who appear to be around at the moment. We will no doubt be told that much of it is caused by diabetes, when in fact the opposite is the reason. The writer lost a brother due to diabetes and haemochromatosis in recent years, who was certainly not overweight.

Let us set out our stall, indicating to the Government, that vast savings have to be found from the NHS alone.


DON'T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK.

A FRUIT AND NUT CASE.

We have, in the past, written about British companies being sold off to foreign concerns. Market forces, we are sure, should not become the subject of Government consideration, they would undoubtedly get it wrong. However, surely the time has arrived when a ruling should be made regarding payment?

Let us go back to the time when we wrote about the sale of BAA. The Spanish company Ferrovial, at the time of purchase were getting concessions from their Government for such a deal. Let us remind ourselves that Spain is on the 'take' and that we, taxpayer GB, contributors to the EU, subsidised the Spanish takeover with some of our own money. Add to this the fact that they probably borrowed 80/90% for the transaction. A similar situation was evident when Boots the Chemist sold out, which involved a similar amount of borrowing. Enter the American food giant Kraft. It would appear that they are having to raise around 60% of the cost in order to purchase Cadburys; some of it from one of our bailed out banks, RBS. Why isn't a limit set on how much borrowing is allowed, let's say 10%, or certainly no more than 20%?

Jobs will ultimately leave our shores for cheaper production sources in Eastern Europe.



WARREN BUFFETT IS UNHAPPY.

TORIES ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

One wonders if there ought to be A levels in 'sex and the city' education, as both Labour and the Liberal's appear to have the continuation of sexual activity high on their curriculum agenda, with a bias towards the diverse; funded at enormous expense by hard working taxpayer GB, this is after we have paid for all the advice and contraception.

The Conservative party is now dipping it's toe into the 'pond life' of this costly business. Their argument is simply to say no. This sounds like good advice, but will not work alone. What is needed is a declaration by Government, that there won't be any financial assistance and free accommodation supplied by the state.



THE SLOW DOWN WOULD BE DRAMATIC.

PUBLIC SECTOR PENSIONS AND COUNCIL TAX.

We have mentioned the nonsense that goes on in local authorities in previous blogs. The ever increasing number of personnel employed filling irrelevant posts: JOBSWORTHS BY THE SCORE, Sep. 08, amongst others. Well! for the first time I have noted in the press, that Hitchens P., reminisces about the past when we didn't have to support all this dross, pretending to be doing a proper job. Most of us older folk are fully aware that we were far more secure and unhindered in days of yore. Naturally we had Teachers/Police/Refuse collectors/Town Clerks plus a few others. Now, however, we seem to think that job creation, for that is what it is, is good for us. Well! it happens to be bad for us. The obvious consequence of this situation is the overbearing, sanctimonious attitude which seems to be bestowed on these unnecessary characters. In addition to their ridiculous job descriptions, there is the question of their gold plated pensions.



AND WE PAY.

GORDON ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS.

As our politically diverse PM is confronted by his supreme adviser 'St. Peter' Meddlesome, who is all things to all men, which accounts for the swings and roundabouts in Brown's approach to the forthcoming election. We hope that you won't all be nodding off during the next few months. The Health and Safety Executive have been alerted to assist in areas where such boredom could lead to people falling asleep while walking along. We are about to hear so many untruths, they will beggar belief. First out of the blocks being the promise to Middle England to return to New Labour's core values. Aspiring to better opportunities, along with other empty promises. All of which will fly in the face of his preferred Marxist attitude.

What we need to understand is that whoever wins the General Election will be instructed by the IMF to address our parlous economic plight, which can only be resolved by the section of the public who have been prudent with their own cash. It would be smart, therefore, to ignore Incapability Brown.



IT'S TIME TO START FACING REALITY.

QUESTION TIME IS BACK, WITH ALL THE WRONG SUBJECTS.

Having sat through another boring programme, most of which was spent chewing the fat about the Chilcot inquiry into the invasion of Iraq. As with most processes instigated by government, there will be Cabinet influence, the Bank of England and interest rates being a good example. It did raise an interesting aspect, as the author suspects many of the protaganists voted for 'Tony and the Sleazeballs'. They would have voted for him, presumably, for what he had promised to give them.

The proper lead question however, should have been the situation of the Mosedale family, who, having vacated their property in North London for refurbishment purposes, presumably having paid good money for such an operation, found upon their return that the property was occupied by Romanian refugees. Our intrepid police force were disinterested, evidently due to Mr. Mosedale enquiry as to why immigrants on benefit have any rights to act illegally. We doubt if too many readers would act differently from this. It appears that it took two weeks to regain access to their own home.



ARE WE GOING TO LEARN?

FEEDING THE WORLD.

The author has just been watching a TV programme on agriculture; Jimmy's Global Harvest. Jimmy Doherty in Australia on this occasion. Due to all kinds of problems, mainly the liberal usage of a limited supply of water; salt rising to the surface because of the removal of Acacia trees in the past; fooling grape vines into thinking there is a drought, as lack of water is limiting wine production, and concentrating on the natural presence of goats, an indigenous inhabitant, as distinct from the imposed Merino sheep, the call for whose fleece has diminished considerably.

The impressive conclusion regarding this programme, is the fact that the Aussies are doing everything to combat our fickle weather. They are reintroducing Acacia trees along with Sandalwood, which leeches onto the host Acacia. In addition, in South Australia, one farmer has developed a system of the reconstitution of poor quality clay earth by introducing natural constituents.

A major aspect is that only around 15% of the earth's surface is producing food for a rapidly increasing world population. Taking the UK as an example, we are forever stealing more of our excellent farm land (greenbelt) in order to house more and more people, many of them imported, to what end we know not. This absorbs flood plain in many cases, creating tight necked funnels to our rivers, making it difficult for the water to escape to the sea, causing the inevitable floods.



WHEN WILL WE LEARN?

LITTLE, OR NO WIND IN THE WILLOWS.

For the second successive Christmas/New Year season, we have been becalmed. We can, therefore expect, that as we become more reliant upon wind power, at some Christmases in the future, we would be well advised to get sandwiches stockpiled. It is totally illogical to expend billions of pounds on something so hit and miss. Add to this the lack of power needed for what needs to be a resurgence in industrial output, if we are to avoid becoming a 'third world' nation.

Whoever wins the forthcoming General Election will have to face a return to productivity plus a massive reduction in the size of population, giving us the required increase in greenbelt for more farming. Above all, we will have to decide on how we treat edicts from the unelected folk in Brussels, and consider our future very carefully.



WE NEED TO STOP VOTING ALONG PARTY LINES.

HARWOMAN, THE SUPREME MULTI-TASKER.

It's not surprising that she is the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Harriet Harwoman appears to be able to operate just as a number of her male counterparts, by driving, using her mobile and crashing simultaneously. We sincerely hope that this doesn't get in the way of her organizing the mixed Westminster Footbal/Cricket/Rugby and Needlepoint groups.







AND SHE IS AN INFLUENCE ON THE SPENDING OF OUR TAXES.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A FEW DAYS MAKE.

What started as a damp squib is now smouldering on a slow fuse, rather like a Hoon/Hewitt 'H' bomb, with Brown trapped in his own 'H' Block. Initially, the PM discounted the situation as a storm in a teacup. Could it be that there is more to it than meets the eye? Alistair Darling is certainly acting as though he has been set free and is already talking and acting as such, suggesting openly of the cuts that can be expected in the next Budget. This is, of course, very dangerous ground, it being totally out of context with Brown's Marxist thinking, as the very suggestion will incur the wrath of the Unions, the Labour Party's main source of funding. He will now have to come up with a different tack to buy them off. It is strange however, since Darling's student years were tainted with Marxist ideology; nevertheless, his family's conservative background shows through on occasions.

This latest pantomime (everything that Brown taints turns into a pantomime) is giving the press a field day. The papers this weekend are brimming with disclosures about the administration over the last two and half years. No wonder this 'basket case' of a Prime Minister just throws our money at whatever his favourite project of the day happens to be.

We can only sit tight and await more hideous stories which are bound to surface anytime soon.











THE SITUATION IS BETTER THAN ELECTIONEERING.

2010, THE YEAR OF THE YAWN.

Entering a new year should give us the opportunity to commence with a clean slate. Not this year however. Immediately, the major parties get into their respective strides, talking about spending money we haven't got.

The party I shall vote for must indicate, across the complete public sector spectrum, where and how it will cut waste in it's outrageous expenditure. Talk of 'ring fencing' any area is totally irresponsible. We cannot spend money that we don't possess. Cameron has shown his hand on the first day that he is competing with the most backward of moves, indicating that he is a closet socialist. He cannot possibly make any statements regarding money supply, because the current regime is not being honest about the subject. On this point alone, he should harass the Government and refrain from being scared of the media. The truth alone will do.

Of course the NHS is important to us, therefore we need to know how the money is spent. How much does treatment for immigrants cost us; abortions for teenage pregnancy, not to mention the failed contraception, plus the thousands of useless jobs in local government and the BBC? It goes on and on, all at a gigantic expense to taxpayer GB. There can't be any let up as the debt continues to rise. This has to be paid back soon, as the knock-on effect will be catastrophic to our financial rating in the world. Hate bankers if you must, but without the city, we are financially dead in the water.

None of the above institutions mentioned are religions, they just happen to be great money 'hoovering' devices, being sold to us in exaggerated terms. Don't bite! All governments will want to appear to be throwing money (our money) at anything emotive.


AND THEN WE HAVE THE EUROPEAN QUESTION.

DRUG ABUSE AND LEFT WING IDEOLOGY.

When will this nation begin to understand that we have no right to comment on how another nation controls drug abuse? That simpleton of a Foreign Secretary, David 'Thoroughly Modern' Miliband, the elder of the 'Marxist Bros' aka 'Dummo' reprimanding the Chinese Embassy for sentencing a drug trafficker to death for breaking the Chinese law is an example of this. The sentence is quite specific; had this criminal been born in Britain he might well have understood this. The incredible aspect of the situation is, that as a rapidly declining nation, we lionize celebrity drug users, excusing them their excesses.

A number of journalists have made the comparison with 'Thoroughly Modern's' lack of concern for the British couple, Paul and Rachel Chandler, abducted on the high seas by Somalian pirates, well over two months ago. A subject about which he is exceedingly quiet. How does this nincompoop survive. Does New Labour build these characters from a kit?


The next decade will be yet another defining period during which, for the last time, we have to decide the responsible course of action the nation has to take. We can't get out of this hole on rhetoric, we have got to get back to strong law enforcement and major industrial production.







WAKE UP BRITAIN!

LEST WE FORGET.

So we enter the New Year, being bombarded by the incapable Brown's threat of more of the same, which we can refer to as vast debt. If ever a politician needed to be sectioned, it is this danger man of a Prime Minister.

As a nation, we are collectively being abused by an incompetent, who, when gaining power, promised to change not just the UK but the world. This was done by screwing taxpayer GB and giving most of the proceeds to foreign countries, in the name of his smoke screen, global warming. The rest of the world appears to have settled here, taking advantage of our generous benefits system along with the attractive NHS guarantee. This is happening in conjunction with a nation which is close to administration, with none of the major political parties suggesting that we return rapidly to a second industrial revolution, for nothing else will assure us of the type of economy needed to sustain our lifestyle.

2010 will be one of those defining years in the history of the United Kingdom. In the past, the nation has just turned to the main opposition party, but they nor the Liberal Democrats would change the core problems, which have become endemic in Britain; a say in our attitude towards the EU and the question of climate change, both subjects need to be debated openly.










BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR.
