TOO MUCH MEDIA, NOT ENOUGH (PROPER) NEWS.

Let the author first explain what is meant when we use the the word 'proper'. Britain currently operates under the guidance of simple little boys and girls in Westminster, the seat of which should be democratic government. They love laying down the law, keeping us informed of how we should live our lives. For example: The media appears to think that we should all embrace 'Ladies Football' (soccer). Well! as a one time enthusiast of the sport, I can assure you, that there aren't too many men that I would lift an eyelid to watch these days. You see, I recall proper football, proper beer and also proper music, which I play on my radio programme every Wednesday night at 10.00pm UK time on www.103theeye.co.uk

The British news media is so banal (possibly due to the fact that so much space is given over to TV news broadcasts), that they have to find 'padding', which generally comes from what is considered to be, non- politically correct. Good examples occurred this week regarding the United Kingdom Independence Party; Leader Nigel Farage suggested in a speech in the 'City of London', that women in business can be a problem. He was presumably referring to the fact that they have offspring. Well! literally, he is correct. We can say, however, that we have had a Queen on the throne for over 60 years, without hardly missing a beat. Margaret Thatcher was also very successful, and Farage left the Conservative Party when the 'suits', or do I mean cowards, deposed her. We also have a daughter-in-law who is a vice president of one of the world's largest brewers. The thing is, however, in a vibrant democracy, I find it good for people to voice their opinions.

Farage did, nevertheless, blot his own 'copy book'. He criticised, and banned one of his party, David Silvester, an Henley town councillor, who had the temerity to suggest that we are suffering country wide floods due to Parliament's decision to introduce 'same sex marriage'. Personally I like it. The world's biggest selling book is full of such stories. My mother would often refer to the fact, that immediately after WWI, there where few young men around, but by the late 1920's, the balance was restored. So who was pulling those strings?

LET US REPEAT THE MAXIM: IF YOU TAKE ON NATURE, DON'T EXPECT TO WIN.

FIRST YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T.

Miliband the magnificent magician has been at it again. 'Thoroughly Modern' has, over recent months, been bombarding us with what a Labour Government would do to improve our lot. Not a mention, of course, that  they were the architects of this abysmal situation. He really can make money disappear.

During the conference season, he was informing the dim, that he would have a freeze on fuel prices, heaven knows what will happen should the basic costs go up during that period of 20 months. Notwithstanding the fact that he created the green taxes which add to these excessive charges. That policy sent shudders through the markets, knocking vast amounts from the value of the suppliers stock, favourite investments for pension funds. His next pronouncement came with a promise to make life easier for the 'middle classes'. Now this would be a first. Socialism always attacks this source, for taxes paid to the feckless, who happen to be excellent voting fodder. Thirdly, he would limit the size of the big banks; probably breaking the 'high street' from the 'venture capital division'. On the face of it, bearing in mind the performance of these banks over the last decade, most people have lost their trust in these institutions, but the last Government, under 'Incapability Brown', backed the failing outfits, with billions of taxpayer GB's money, or promises which would incur deferred taxes. Miliband included in this package, two further banks, which he calls 'challengers'. He is however so dozy, or hoping that his followers are equally dozy not to have noticed that the current Government have already made some of these plans, who, nevertheless, are wary of breaking down the big banks, we are sure, because they would be picked off by some of the large international financial institutions. That is something that the author is particularly concerned about.

Unfortunately, what the commentators never question is Miliband's ulterior motive? The two banks propped up by the taxpayer, which were being lined up to be sold off, following the 'neophyte's' suggested policy, have lost millions in reduced shareholding, because of his naive approach. Could the long game be to satisfy his 'kitchen table marxism', making sure that these fuel suppliers and banks go bust, following which, he will nationalise them?

HERE'S A CLOWN THAT YOU WOULDN'T EMPLOY TO MASH THE TEA.

THIS TOXIC HYBRID OF BROWN AND OSBORNE.

It would appear that the UK economy is showing signs of coming out of its slumbers; or is it? We are certainly witnessing growth, the question is, how is this being fuelled? Well, Tory backbencher, Douglas Carswell, a conservative, considers the improvement in the economy is being fuelled by more credit, and he's undoubtedly correct. Carswell has had a paper published this week entitled: 'After Osbrown', a name mixing the former Labour disaster, Gordon Brown and the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, Geo. Osborne. Brown spent all the thirteen years of the last Labour regime decimating the economy, by conning the nation to rely upon credit, giving swathes of simple folk the impression that we could have it all. Many assumed that to be fact. Unfortunately, Osborne is choosing to kid people on that, for example, house purchase is made possible based on assisted financial support by taxpayer GB, by making money available to help with the deposit, regarding house purchase.

We have mentioned this activity previously, which can only have one consequence, destroying the market. The more we chase debt with cheap money, the more expensive the market becomes. Low interest rates have always been the problem here. Likewise, banks making unsecured loans to businesses with money that, quite honestly, does not exist.

Douglas Carswell is not the only person who understands that we are heading, at high speed, into a brick wall again, and that we can only survive when backed with proper money. The short termism adopted by Government, is aimed primarily at the fact that there is a General Election coming up next year, so prepare the electorate by giving them some feel good factor.

WE SHALL SEE.

JUNIOR MASTERMIND.

Your specialist subject, Prime Minister, is 'Climate Change'. Q. Are the flood waters that are currently covering vast tracts of the British Isles due to climate change? A. "They might well be". The questioner is a dim, fully paid up 'green' Tim Farron, a Lib Dem MP. Perhaps an answer along the following lines would have been both more adult and accurate: "Actually it is due to over-population and building on flood plains". The writer refers to this type of interrogation as a 'pantomime' question; we have to endure similar in the weekly TV programme 'Question Time'. The questioner is scripted to pursue this childlike patter, hoping to embarrass the recipient. Cameron, naturally running with the answer that would most please the 'Green Lobby', a group which has opted out of all logic. This, as we might imagine, provoked his own supporters into a mini revolt, for falling so lamely to a trick by an outfit that can only get heard in Parliament, as they would not be able to hold down a proper job. The PM's response exposed what the author refers to as his 'blue rinse' socialism.

Additionally, Cameron should have explained that the burgeoning taxes imposed are due to this so-called climate change, which has been around since the world began. For example: December 2013 is only the 20th. wettest December since records began in the year 1910, the wettest being 1914. Could it be that WWI had some kind of effect? Surely someone will make a case for such nonsense.

MEANWHILE, MANY ELDERLY FOLK ARE SUFFERING FROM HYPOTHERMIA DUE TO THIS IMPOSITION.

THREE OLD LADIES LOCKED IN A LAVATORY - THE SEQUEL.

Let us picture the scene: Midsummer in the Antarctic, a ship leased from Russia, full of 'green pioneers' wanting to prove that eventually the world will be, at least par boiled, due to climate change. We know that they wish to say global warming, something which they can no longer get away with.

This motley crew of doom mongers, which includes a plethora of leading lights on the subject were aboard the good ship, MV Akademic Shokalskiy, which entered a bay that a hundred years ago was perfectly navigable and ice free. Quite strange that at the least cold time of the year in the southern hemisphere, the ship becomes immovable, due to pack ice. The passengers have subsequently been evacuated due to this global cooling.

Within the ranks of this dim corps of disciples is Professor Chris Turney of New South Wales University, Australia, who also has interests in companies selling green ideas to the suckers out there, who are prepared to buy. The British Broadcasting Corporation is also well represented, after all, spending other people's money is their speciality; and the left leaning Guardian newspaper was riding 'shotgun'. You could say that the gang is all there.

One wonders what kind of report will eminate from this fruitless expedition, which has so far cost almost £1 million. They'll no doubt spin some tale to convince their believers. If, however, it doesn't sound that convincing, the naive BBC will sidestep the outcome.


MEANWHILE, NORTH AMERICA SUFFERS THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF RECENT TIMES.
