Ed Milliband & Labour
Once again on Newsnight we have the spectacle of a former government minister with all the questions and none of the answers. Ed Milliband was on the show to discuss the proposed AV system of voting and the likely timetable of the bill being introduced and put to the electorate in the form of a referendum.
But instead we were again peddled the notion that the coalition was likely to implode if not on this issue but on the recent emergency budget which was necessary to correct the years of mismanagement from Mr & Mrs Prudence who broke so many of their own rules along the way to breaking the United Kingdom by drowning it in debt and despair.
Once again Ed Milliband could not come up with a single sentence about how and where Labour were planning to make their cuts just as we witnessed that other slimy performer the former Welsh Secretary “Peter Hain” spouting off about the dire consequences of cuts being made by this coalition government but not offering up one single sound bite about how or what direction the Labour government were going to swing the axe should they have been so lucky as to get re-elected to office in the general election.
It has become increasingly clear that Labour were horrified at the possibility of forming a minority coalition government with the Liberal Democrats and every other of the fringe hotch potch parties that would have needed to come together to command a majority in the house.
Just for one minute imagine the panic amongst the Labour ranks having got the country into such a dire state they would have had the pound worthless within weeks of office and the IMF running the economy for the duration of their time in office, indeed they would not have been re-elected again in my lifetime and instead the poison chalice has been passed on to a new captain who was not drunk in charge of the ship.
Ed Milliband also thinks it is quite reasonable that a Scottish or Labour vote should be worth 20, 30, 40% more than a Tory vote? Nothing could be more absurd all constituencies must be of equal value so all our votes count. This will be fairer by far than AV voting which may see a 2nd or 3rd choice candidate taking a seat from the candidate with the largest proportion of votes.
My worry too is that many Labour 2nd choice votes would be given to the oddball candidates such as the BNP which could spell a disaster for the makeup of our parliament. I agree fully that the bill should be passed to allow the country a referendum on AV voting as it was a clear upfront part of the coalition agreement however come the day of the vote I would not support it as I feel it will allow too many freak show politicians into the house all with their own oddball agenda which would have to be mapped into any coalition agreements.
The Greens in particular will be the ruination of the United Kingdom our green issues will have no impact on a planet which we part occupy along with animals, fish and plants of all varieties that have come and gone from the surface over millions of years. We cannot try to maintain a life in a climate that is not suitable for that life. We have tried to support life in parts of the world simply because we know it is there and dying. The sooner we accept the fact that a part of the plant with no control on its booming populations is a bridge too far. It is sad but we cannot be expected to support life in places with no water.
The brutal fact is that these peoples have wrecked their economies by voting for lunatics to run their countries they support them and are openly hostile to their former landlords from Europe. They have made their beds they can now lay in it but what we should do is offer sanctuary to those people who believe in our ideals who will support their new homes, will integrate and be an asset to society. What we do not want is people who have been a party to wrecking their own country wanting to come here.
During the hand over of Hong Kong to China we lost an opportunity to assimilate a wealthy population from Hong Kong to our shores. These people wanted to emigrate to the UK. With their much needed money and entrepreneurial skills what did we do? We said no! We allowed the PC brigade to say we can’t just take the rich! Its not fair on the poor. We lost these people to places like Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and America.
We should think about our country and about how to boost it and grow our economy for the betterment of the people of this country we should not keep borrowing from the countries that we have been complicit in building up so that they can take our place on the world stage and our jobs to go with them. Be wary of the Greens be very Wary! It will be us living in the caves with no heating if these people ever got a foothold in parliament.
The Greens have one MP and already they are popping up on Newsnight and being interviewed with the same respect as a party with 250 MP’s It has to stop now before we have the IMF in running the country.

Labour Leadership Campaign
I have been frequently amused by the number of times I have read the tweets of both Ed & David Milliband thanking all and sundry for supporting them, Ed Balls jumping on the anti VAT bandwagon at every verse end yet ironically not having the "Balls" to express an opinion to his previous masters about the excruciating levels of debts they were racking up in a scandalous attempt to win votes and worry about the bills afterwards.
None of the candidates has shown a definative plan of how and where the Labout party were going to make £40 billions worth of cuts? why? maybe they hadn't worked out where they were going to make them and just kept pushing the red warning letters unnder the carpet hoping the fairies would sort things out while they plundered our gold reserves and credit cards spening all around them.
Now we have Andy Burnham talking about the Hillsborough disaster, was he even there? I was, I know exactly what happened. I was a Nottingham Forest fan who on the day happened to be going to the stadium from the Liverpool fans end having had lunch at the Police headquarters and having parked our car there where it was safe.
After enjoying the facilities of the South Yorkshire police we walked to the ground to be constantly harrassed by Liverpool fans streaming out of the pubs drunk all saying the same thing "any spares mate" (wanting any spare tickets that we may have had) We hid our shirts and scarves not wanting any trouble and were amazed at how every street was cordened off with barriers to corral the supporters to the ground withour inflicting themselves on the Sheffield locals.
It was obvious that large numbers of Liverpool fans had travelled without tickets and it was these people that inflicted themselves on to their own responsible fans who had been in the ground in good time with their tickets. These fans were killed by the actions of Liverpool fans, it had nothing to do with the police force on the day.
If liverpool fans without tickets hadnt travelled would the responsible fans that arrived in good time with tickets have died? NO! The Taylor report may have put the blame in the direction of the police force but that was a simple fact of dancing on egg shells and putting the blame on the easy option.
Labour can only see the world from the point of view of these liverpool fans and their like they never see the reasonable point of view they know they can talk the popular talk that appeals to these people who only want to hear what they want to hear and never the facts.
The facts are Labour has nearly bankrupted the United Kingdom with their profligate spending sprees in the direction of the loony lefties that will believe anything they are told that has a red tie on it and says it is working class.

Britain’s Economic Woes
The policies of successive labour governments are have and always will be like an alcoholic that has come out of Rehab they are addictive spenders and worse they are addictive borrowers.
Rehab is never a nice place to be which is why as soon as this period is over and there is a feel good period the people like to move on. During the 70’s we had a very severe binge, so bad was this that the government had to seek the severe trauma unit that is the IMF. Britain then remained on the drip feed until the Election of 79 which brought in a government that was prepared to take the hard choices and allow the bad apples to fall from the tree.
Fresh trees were planted in the form of privatisation which along with the North Sea Oil boom years allowed the government to weather the unemployment storms and rebuild the economy.
Thatcher was of course right why should an elderly couple who have brought up a family and had a nice house and were now relying on their pensions have to pay for the upkeep of other peoples homes with maybe 3, 4 and 5 workers living in it? These homes were generating vastly more waste and using substantially more of the public services that the retired couple were paying for!
It does not matter if you live in a shoe box or a castle, if you flush the toilet the same amount of time as the person living in a box and put out the same wheelie bin once a week why should you pay 10 or 20 times as much for the same services? You don’t pay twice as much for a loaf of bread a bottle of milk or a tine of baked beans.
Many owners of large homes bought them, struggled to pay for them by working long hours in poorer conditions than we are used to today and then the homes that they had worked all their lives for, were under Labour to be a millstone they couldn’t afford to own yet we have “working class” families with a combined income many times larger than the retired couple and often with 3, 4 and 5 incomes coming into the home basically forcing them to sell up and move in to a shoe box.
To avoid the visit of the IMF we need to have an income, the state services however much they are needed do not generate an income, schools to hospitals can only function with funds and if we are to avoid crippling debts they have to come from the private sector in the form of corporation taxes, VAT, PAYE and NI contributions.
If the country had no debts imagine how much wealth would be back in the economy? People have far better sense of where to spend their own money than politicians do or will ever have and the sooner this money is back in the hands of the people the sooner the economy will start moving. We need low corporation tax to attract the business into the country with this tax less is more and is the only nettle Ireland had grasped during its boom years unfortunately they allowed the economy to go bust through having no control over interest rates having given up control to the EU.
As JFK said think what you can do for your country not what your country can do for you. Think about putting your litter in the bin and not waiting for the council to do it for you and move on from that attitude, we will all be the better for it. Take pride in your country its past, its present and look forward to a future without borrowing if we do anything its has to be that be do not allow labour back into power with the inevitable revisiting of Rehab after a shorter period of time than it takes for us to get over the last time they were in power.
