CERTAIN THINGS ARE UNBELIEVEABLE.

In this week's edition of Question Time, on the much maligned BBC, we were subjected to a gamut of dim comment, particularly from the two 'leftists', Emily Thornberry, Shadow Attorney General, and the distasteful 'deep pink' Mehdi Hasan who drips Marxist ideology.

On the serious subject of the review on family benefits, something that the Coalition Government has to 'rein in', as the unsustainable section of the population, the 'non-working', they produce endless offspring as a 'nice little earner'; Thornberry is convinced that all this procreation is based around a loving relationship between parents; the other protagonist and economic neophyte, Hasan, implied that this is a tax on children. They could not understand a father in the audience, who suggested that people operated as he does, having children when they are affordable. Isn't socialism wonderful! For it's survival, it requires endless under-educated youngsters, otherwise they would make the Labour front bench look even 'thicker' than at present.

Hasan comes over as one of the most vitriolic and supercilious drones in the 'left wing' fold, the type that disregards the overwhelming debt, most of which came about under the last Labour Government. He is a co-author of Ed (Thoroughly Modern) Miliband's biography, which couldn't have wasted too much printing paper, since the subject has yet to perform anything of importance. This journalist and writer of suspect repute also contributes to the Guardian and the New Statesman, and must be a total embarrassment to his Alma Mater, Oxford University.

NEED I GO ON!

AN ALMIGHTY SAVILE ROW.

One would have to be somewhere in space to be unaware of the current controversy besetting the British Broadcasting Corporation and its hiding, apparently, of one of the most hideously prolonged cases of paedophilia ever to be revealed. This is developing into one very big row.

For those unclear who is the central character of this story, it is Jimmy Savile, pop 'celeb' and DJ, who passed away in 2011, much revered for his charitable works. Unfortunately, this was probably just a way of getting close to young girls and boys. Much of this despicable activity was performed at the premises of the BBC, and it now transpires that a number of the corporation's staff were involved, and even more knew of these goings on. Spread over many decades, Savile, who had acquired a knighthood for his assumed good works, had been using public sponsored premises, the licence funded BBC, as a base for much of such grubby tactics.

The BBC has form of course. A well respected, elderly broadcaster has made it known that, when he was a young man, the corridors of Broadcasting House wreaked of marijuana. This is a supposed doyen of respectable living, which obviously can't bring itself to denounce drug abuse, because it goes on within their walls.

Like many immature people, 'twenty-plus somethings', and the Beeb has hundreds of them, who get excited at repeating the word 'cool' regularly, for example. They get euphoric about celebrity, but rarely recognise true talent. Well, I'm sure that this needs to stop; let the commercial channels deal in shallowness, if they must. If a licence is required before being allowed to have a news department, then it must be withdrawn. The content is supremely biased 'left wing' drivel.

THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND MIND.

In the last week, here in the UK, we have witnessed two disgraceful decisions regarding the increasing problem people have with the laws imposed upon the nation, regarding the practise of same sex relationships. A couple running a Bed and Breakfast business, naturally within their own home, would not allow two middle aged men to share the same bedroom, due to their strong religious beliefs. For this action, perpetrated with the backing of their well-founded christian faith, the courts found this to be out of order, fining the owners a substancial sum. The second case involved a man who made a comment, 'online', expressing a revulsion to homosexuality; another big 'no no'. According to the law, we can only speak up for the practise of same sex activities. This will probably bring about a backlash, possibly from most of the main religions, and don't underestimate the near certainty of such a rebellion.

The UK Government, are not unlike the communist regimes in the past that ruled the old USSR, which could not suppress the underground movement of the Russian Orthodox Church through all those years. During this period, the now magnificent Cathedral of Christ the Savior, approximately a mile south of the Kremlin, and I seem to remember the venue for Boris Yeltsin's funeral, has a very interesting history. During the early years of communist rule, the original church was used as a warehouse; this was followed eventually by demolition, and the turning of the site into a swimming pool. Very soon it was realised that this was being dogged by problems of subsidence, and following the overthrowing of communism, was returned to a holy site, with the new opulent cathedral. I know this, because I have visited the building.


TO ALL DIM POLITICIANS, BEWARE OF THE STING IN THE TAIL.

BARACK'S BLARNEY vs MITT'S MONEYSPINNING.

It would appear from the brief excerpt seen on British newscasts of the second of the TV debates leading up to the forthcoming Presidential Election, that the gloves were truly off. The President is so obviously in a corner, he now needs to lash out with personal attacks. Unfortunately, nobody will ever take a step back to review the situation.

Obama's socialist theories will only cost money. Take the model of  British history since the end of WWII in 1945. The dim Brits were jealous of the US, because their servicemen seemed to have too much money, and were sold the theory of socialism/communism. This led to a programme of the nationalisation of major industries, which ultimately, all withered on the vine because of their control by the unions. We imported, what the unions wanted, a cheaper form of labour. This was explained to me by my father, he having been a union official until the late thirties; retiring, due to the leadership's insistence of a lower strata of labour; leaving us with a serious over population problem. The overcrowding has left Britain with massive concerns regarding 'Health and Education'. Increased population has also created a housing problem, with building being spread across 'Green belt'; this is agricultural land, which also doubles as flood plain in many areas.

Some of the aforementioned won't concern the US, particularly the land aspect. Believe this, however, anything that appears to be going for free, 'Health and Education' is a big magnet; and will cost you dearly.

Socialist get a real 'buzz' from giving other peoples' money away, and Obama is no different. If the people of the US want another four years of even more debt, stick with the waster that you know.

ON THE OTHER HAND, ROMNEY KNOWS HOW TO MAKE MONEY.

THE PARTY'S OVER.

The parties are, in actual fact, well and truly over for another year. The parties being the annual conferences of the British political divide. We had the LibDems threatening the higher earners with severe tax rises, along with their fellow left wingers, the Labour Party. The Labour leader, 'Thoroughly Modern' Miliband, gave us a speech, which contained endless references to the 'one nation state', a rallying call first attributed to Tory, Disraeli, in the 19th century. Two-faced Ed, only twenty four hours later, assured the public sector that he would be joining them on strike marches. Their demands could only be met by more taxes on the private sector, or increased borrowing, which would incur deferred taxes for future generations; the slippery slope to financial oblivion.

Thirdly, Prime Minister Cameron did what he does best, that is to deliver a well crafted oration for the benefit for his party faithful, much of which should have been espoused on coming to office in May 2010. We are now, of course, beginning the wind down to the next election. On this occasion, Cameron has to deliver. Competent leaders must exercise a ruthless streak, confronting the major concerns head on. Here are a few of the things that need his undivided attention: Our relationship with Europe, no longer will a fudge be adequate; Immigration/population control; Returning land to green belt with a greater emphasis on agriculture, and finally, taking a serious look at this ridiculous waste of money on 'green concerns', which would be answered by reducing the population. All these things will have to be dealt with if he wants my vote.

READY, STEADY, GO.

ECONOMISTS: TAKE YOUR PICK.

Further to the posting of 19th. Sep. 'PLAYING WITH NUMBERS', which looked at the first of three programmes considering how the world should cope with the current economic disaster, hanging like a dark cloud, certainly over most of the western nations. We mentioned the coverage, by Stephanie Flanders, of John Maynard Keynes, whose philosophy, so beloved by the left, compared with the ultimate free marketeer, Friedrich Hayek, and finally, Karl Marx, with his fair shares for all communism.

Let us dismiss Marx immediately, since his philosophy has been proved to fail, as it gets hijacked by party officials indulging themselves at the expense of the proletariat. Hayek, however, always appears to me to be the most interesting. His theory, and all the various methods can only be theories, correctly insisted that governments cannot fix the market. Presumably, in a similar way, in building flood defences the water diverts to create havoc elsewhere. Probably another good analogy would be biologist William Donald Hamilton's view, that the more human nature does to keep itself alive, the sooner it will kill off the species. When areas are hit by hurricanes or tsunamis, it happens to be nature going through its normal routine. Therefore, why not let the anomalies in the market happen, to be 'taken on the chin'. Naturally it would cause immense problems for those concerned, but don't be kidded by the sticking plaster remedies, practised by various governments. They leave the tax payer with an even larger debt, which sooner or later has to be settled.

Flanders, in fairness, did give a reasonable assessment of all suggested solutions. However, as with all these so-called experts who fall into the left thinking group, a comfort zone if you wish, is convinced that Keynes was the man. Well he wasn't; if he were, the western nations would all be showing a surplus. For too long the West, in particular, has drifted along with this school of thinking, with a debt burden close to being overbearing. It acts as the ultimate credit card, which keeps people happy, allowing much 'head burying in the sand'.

TROUBLE IS BREWING.

ON YOUR MARX.

This week we are having to suffer the Labour Party Conference, the penultimate in the series. 'Thoroughly Modern Miliband', leader of this motley crew, has assured us that he aims to break up the banks into smaller units, with 'investment' being separated from 'high street'; this would create a serious problem for our banks, making them a target for large foreign banks. In addition, entrepeneurs would flee these shores in order to avoid paying higher taxes. He also kept repeating, "We will be one nation"; presumably all living on benefits, controlled from Brussels, with immigration flowing as high as ever. He was virtually beating his chest regarding his comprehensive education. 'What a 'dummo'. His fellow dimwit, 'All Ed' (Balls) gave us his remedy on the economy; build thousands of affordable homes, affordable because taxpayer GB will cover the rental. The usual robbing 'Peter to pay Paul' garbage is at the centre of anything that Labour conjures up. All of these ploys encourage more immigration, which socialists love, ultimately giving the newcomers the right to vote.

We need to point out here, that these two backward characters were at the centre of the policies that bankrupted this country. Both of them come from Marxist backgrounds. Balls enjoyed a private education at the expense of his parents, his father being a Marxist Professor at Nottingham University; which means the author helped to pay.

The 'get together', only confirmed the lack of policies for a party riding high in the polls; there was no mention of how to make money, only spend it, which means borrowing more.

SO MUCH FOR COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION.
