EU Budget

The European commission wants the budget for the next seven years 2014 to 2020 increased, Britain's contributed would increase by £1.9 billion this at a time when most of the European countries, Spain, Italy, Greece, Portuga,l and the others have imposed strict targets on their own population. This just goes to show how out of touch the leaders of Europe are. But we get a silly bitch minister from Poland  Elzbieta Bienkowska saying that Britain was  the biggest roadblock to the timely conclusion of negotiations over the budget. She says that Britain is the only country saying No. This from a country that isn't a net contributor like Britain but one of the largest net benefactors. If Poland was a net contributor then perhaps she would not be saying such things. Its like you and I putting our hard earned money into a bank only to have some irresponsible person being able to withdraw our money. The EU budget is nearly £1 trillion and increasing, whilst people throughout Europe are loosing their jobs not one person working for the European Government has lost there job. Many of these, at least 4,000 are earning £86,000 a year. whilst many in Europe are without jobs and are likely not to get jobs whilst this economic situation persists, and with people in power like these many of them unelected and not answerable to the people of Europe. This really is an organisation that is only for the elite few.  

Gary McKinnon

 

Gary McKinnon was guilty of hacking into the Pentagon's computers and causing millions of pounds worth of damage. Teresa Mays refusal to extradite him to America has opened the flood gates to other criminals pleading that if they are sent to  jail even in this country could affect their mental health and that they may commit suicide. This again goes to show that if you are a criminal of any calibre just plead under the Human Right Act and you may literally get away with murder. He claimed that he suffered from  aspurges syndrome  that was diagnosed six years after his offence yet we've just extradited an alleged terrorist to America who was diagnosed with the same complaint. Will we be asking for his return? 

do or decline

 

Cameron says that Britain has to sink or swim or do or decline if we do not change our ways. When we had industrial actions in the seventies and eighties we were the sick man of Europe, but workers changed and there has been very little industrial action these days. The country is in a state not because of the unions or the work force but because of poor management at government level over the past thirty or so years. The financial services have got us into this mess, bosses who have with the governments connivance have sold the crown jewels. Businesses have moved to other countries where they can pay the workers pittance wages but make profits for themselves.Osborne has said that he will rewrite employment laws to allow bosses to offer jobs without work place rights in return for shares in the company. Does this just go how out of touch people like him are. Who in their right mind would agree to this. You sign up for how many shares per employee tens, hundred, or thousands, of shares the average employee would only receive tens of shares. He agrees and within weeks he could be dismissed with no come back. Again why would people agree to such things when the people economists talk about the country growing  by a certain percent year on year. Then we have the International Monetary Fund saying that the country's economy will contract by 0.4% this year. The bottom line is that these economist know absolutely nothing they haven't got the foggiest idea they see a number passing by and grab it. The big problem is that Britain has let to many jobs go abroad to third world countries, that is for the benefit of a minority of rich people who have their greedy fingers in the pie. You have only to look at the debacle over building a third runway at Heathrow or the talk about the Wests high speed rail link, The government dithers on these major projects not for weeks but years and as they dither, the cost escalate till they then say that it is no longer viable. But if you really want to see what trouble the country is in you have only to look at the energy situation. We are closing down coal fired power station from March 2013 ahead of the proposed time frame, what have we got to replace them nothing and don't think that wind turbines will provide the energy the country needs. By 2020 this country will be plunged into long periods of darkness with no electricity, and God help us if we get severe winters with power cuts. Hundreds of people will die. We have to build power stations today not talking about it. We led the world on Nuclear power,now we cant build them we have to employ foreign companies possible from China and Russia. We led the world on rail transport. Today we have eighty miles of so called high speed track whilst countries like France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan have thousands of miles of track. So the problem for Britain's decline isn't the workers of this once proud country its the incompetent people in power now and over the past  thirty years that have got us into this sad state. 

 

 

 

 

 

Pay them More

With the rail fiasco going to cost the beleaguered tax payer an estimated  £300 million that they will see nothing for this money. Three people who dealt with the bid have been suspended and we have a prat called Sir Gus O'Donnell former cabinet secretary who says that these people shouldn't have been suspended and that they and others should be paid more, this again at a time of austerity, but he's been one among thousands that are and have been grossly overpaid and are totally out of touch with the real world. Yes there are ministers like Justine Greening that should be checked out for some one who was totally out of touch and not up to the job, but what happens she is moved to another ministry. Will we never learn jobs for  the boys and girls who fail. In the real world they would have been sacked for gross incompetence and the loss of this amount of money. But not to bother its not their money is again the beleaguered tax payers.

Not fit for purpose

Today we see that the government is doing a u-turn on the rail franchise that was awarded to First Rail having won it fair and square. Now we see that there was an error in the way it was awarded. Three government "experts" have been suspended over this, perhaps the country would have more confidence if these people had been sacked for gross incompetence, but will it be an attempt to cover up this governments incompetence. Then we have the Afghan interpreter who was told after 14 months that he was not going to be allowed to stay in the country because the Border Agency said amongst other things that his English was to good, yet this agency allowed thousands of people into the country that will do nothing but bleed this country dry. We accept the scum of the world yet people who have served this country and put their lives in danger are turned away.Is it any wonder that people in this country do not vote because there is no point in their eyes. I know one thing that as each week passes it becomes more and more clear that this government is not fit for purpose and the quicker it is removed the quicker this country will get back to being a country fit to live in.
