What about this benefits bandwagon? Speeding up eh?

W e should all wonder what the government, and in particular the Civil Service, thinks about how they have let this country down. I would say down the sewer. It is incredibly sad to find our once pristine country, once a leader in the world hierarchy, so badly led. I just wonder in which book it was written that we will have to accept the changes in our once stable society. Of course there have always been those of a criminal mind but we have always been able to contain the numbers. But now with the incredible influx of foreign nationals, in particular those of the Arabian countries, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and under 25 years of age, the problems are now stacking up and virtually unsolvable. The fabric of our society is being eroded at an ever faster pace. This mainly because those that are flooding in across the Channel have no intention of assimilating. Indeed, many have intentions we better not mention but it includes dismantling this country completely. Then the Prime Minister ...

Is World War 3 around the corner? Ask the PM...

The PBS Channel is always quite interesting if you like history. In particular the world wars. I saw one about the rise of Mussolini and indeed about some of the ways fascism came to power. The situation after WW1 was not brilliant, many western countries were devastated, cities in ruin, starvation. There were also many refugees. It seemed inevitable that someone charismatic and not afraid to use some violence to impose the will of a party or indeed, an individual such as Mussolini. The two decades before WW2 were characterised by the rise of fascism mainly because people wanted law and order. Unfortunately these two things do not really fit into the fascist agenda. They talk about it but the actions are a poignant sign to what is going to happen. What is more worrying that the present period, also visible here in Britain seems to be a time of social unrest brought on by the inability of government to impose its democratic will. Meaning what people have voted for is not being carried o...

Selling your House? Watch out..Buyers are about....

We all have seen advertisements that want to sell your house for cash. Now, that seems great if you have had problems selling it, such as buyers who try their best to cut the price or legal delays such as boundary issues. Thus an ad like selling your house for cash, without legal fees or hassle, looks just the job. Right, but is it really? Recently I had a friend who went through this process. The first approach was simplicity itself, a phone-call which more or less was a reaffirmation of what the ad said. So, after agreeing he waited for the Contract. This duly arrived. After cursorily reading through it he filed it away. He noted the agreed price and although not 100% happy about the reduction from his original price he wanted accepted it since he would receive the cash very fast. The company after all was buying. Actually, after some time had passed he received a phone-call telling him that some offers had been received but it seemed the original agreed price was too high for his ...

GDP? Yeah, I know.....yawn

Well, our American philanthropist aka Trump has been throwing around accusations of European nations not paying their dues. Dues as agreed to finance NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation). Figures banded about are 5% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product). But what exactly are we talking about? What is GDP in particular? It measures the total value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific period. In order to compute GDP, economists employ three different approaches: income, expenditures, and production. Although each methodology offers a unique perspective, they should theoretically yield the same value for GDP. The income approach calculates GDP by adding up all the incomes in the economy, including wages, rents, interest, and profits. This approach is based on the premise that all income must come from the production of goods and services. The expenditure approach, also known as the spending approach, calculates GDP by adding up all the spen...

Revolution in the Labour Party? Well....

If you want to know the state of British politics and political decision-making you could do no better than reading an article by Julia Hartley-Brewer. To sum it up in a single sentence – If we cannot stop the boats, how could we stop the Russian Army? Correct. Despite Starmer glorifying the so-called Review of Defence spending, the recent calamity of the umpteenth U-turn shows a different situation. The nation is completely submerging itself in a debt of gigantic proportions because it just cannot get to grips with the sickness culture. In particular the so-called ‘Mental Health crisis’. If you want to travel rather than work the only thing you need to do is devising a mental state where you can begin to claim as many benefits as possible. And off you go. Quite the thing to do now for the under-30 age group. It shows that although the Conservatives left an absolute shambles, Labour has just made it even worse. How you can make a shambles more of a shambles defeats me but hey we are ta...

All well with the world? Really...?

All is well with the world, Glastonbury is happening! The BBC is cock-a-hoop, let’s interview all the weirdos. Yep, it’s the old old story, we dance as the world around us is collapsing. We dance to forget all the rubbish, simply because we cannot do anything about it, or we are just simply too lazy or stupid. Probably the last word. Why worry, the government doesn’t. Politicians are only interested in their own jobs and even at that they are miserably failing. How long have we had to endure the infernal boats? The ever increasing dinghies? Now full of state-sponsored criminals, rapists, and other odious persons. State-sponsored by even worse criminal organisations such as the Russian state. And some of us in high office are applauding. Why are we wondering some people are so fed up they take up a weapon and start banging on the drums leaving death in their wake? All of this just shows how powerless we have become. Once we ran over half the planet, now we are just shivering half-wits, ...

To U-turn or not to U-turn, that's the question...

One of the things happening often in UK politics, the government making U-turns. Now ordinarily that’s not so bad because if you have made a mistake and after a year or so you figure it would be better to change, then do so. But in the UK U-turns happen within days! That shows policy is made on the hoof. Like in No.10 the cat has a brilliant idea, the Prime Minister immediately goes on social media saying cat food should be free of charge. Brilliant, great idea, everybody applauding. Two days later after vociferous opposition the PM declares that as cat food is now made from vegetable matter and Tofu, the cats have gone on strike. They want Kitekat back. So, U-turn. Brilliant, aren’t we doing well. Just a waste of time. Because in those few days there were hundreds of meetings, the Speaker of the House needed a private plane to attend a briefing in Honolulu about why cat food was too expensive and the surcharge needed removing. No-one knows why he needed to stay in the Hilton but appar...
