It doesn't matter what is going on in the world, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan troubles in Libya or pirates off the coast of Somalia. Britain is in both a financial and political state, and the bottom line is that the people in power haven't got a clue how to mend it. We have the car manufacturer Jaguar announcing that they are going to build a plant for £350 million to build greener engines that will create 750 new jobs, that's great news for the manufacturing industry. Yet we have a manufacturing company that employs directly or indirectly thousands of jobs, and creates wealth for the country in the billions of pounds. What is it, its British Aerospace Plc. Yet we have the bleeding hearts who criticise this company and the arms trade. The arms industry has never made a gun or a devise that kills people, it is the finger on the trigger or on the button that does the killing not the weapon. Yet these people who want the arms industry abolished keep saying that if that were to happen, that the people in the arms industry could be redeployed. Where? If these hypothetical jobs that these people fail to mention where they were coming from where to appear then we could redeploy the 2.5 million unemployed into these hypothetical jobs, and reduce unemployment at a stroke. Its about time that these do gooders came into the real world. Again its OK for these do gooders to take the moral high ground over the abolition of the arms trade but its not their jobs on the line. Then we have the 100 or so activists who are supporting the illegals at Dale Farm in Essex, this is an illegal establishment where a group of 51 have lived and constructed structures without planning permission that the rest of the law abiding population have to live with, and obide by. Again why has it taken ten years to get to this situation, because we go through the planning process and legal requirements that cost millions of pounds to the tax payers Then again we have the bleeding hearts who complain about the building of atomic power stations or the construction of electrical pylons that are blighting our landscape. They may well be unsightly to most people, but most people want electricity. If we bury these cables underground which is quite feasible but at what cost? The National Grid is digging a 2.6 kilometer trench in the Wye Valley to bury a cable at a cost of £20 million per kilometer, ten times the cost to string an electrical cable from pylons. Again its OK for Chris Huhne to say that its up to the transmission companies to take more care of the environment and local peoples concerns about it, and more money will be found to reduce the visual impact of new lines on the environment,- money that will be added to the users bill. Thats you and I, as if we are not paying enough for our electricity now. Once again this is a rich minister who is totally out of touch with reality of real life for the average person. Then we have Vince Cable the Business Secretary who says that the rich will have to bear more of the burden, that board room bosses will have to curtail their big bonuses especially those who fail or have failed yet pay themselves for failing. These are all well and good making platitudes like this to try and pacify the public at large but the the public know that at the end of the day nothing will come of it, and why? Because these bosses and ministers are all related by business connections somewhere down the line. Do people for one minute believe that Cameron, Osborne, Huhne, and the like, for all their hand ringing and mea culpas don't invest their wealth in tax free areas even though they have talked about closing or making some of these off shore banking facilities illegal. No body is talking about penalising these entrepreneurs, its the bankers and such that have made millions for themselves, in two word by dodgy deals that have left the rest of the counrtys hard working masses picking up the bill for their, in many cases corporate greed
