The Budget. What budget....?

Well the Budget has his the podium and the play has begun! Will anyone with a brain shut the door when they leave for the airport or port? Does anyone think this Budget will do what is said it will, do? Fat chance! Will the loss of the two-child limit do what our brainy Chancellor says it will? No chance. What it will do is give more money to those on drugs and booze, or pay for the gambling habits. The kids will be as poor as they have always been. It is the bane of humanity especially in Britain. There will just be an increase in the unemployed as for some it will be so much easier not to work at all. I know this is a pretty negative state of affairs but can anyone dispute the reality? For the most part it is already and has been so for quite some time. To diminish the rules is not what people need. Overall the welfare state has just grown again. What did we expect? Labour is the party that murders the economy and has done so every time they came to power. I was listening to the bellowing of the Labour backbenchers on the various aspects the Chancellor was crowing about. That wonderful £20billion put up its head just in time for a bit of Tory bashing, followed by more bellowing. What a shower of incompetence was on show! It is as I have said on many occasions, we are led by incompetent fools.

What now for poor Britain? Despite wonderful projections of growth, will any of that be likely to materialise? Again I say, FAT chance! Britain today is in the grip of virtue-signalling politicians who think the cash register is infinitely big. If one compartment is getting a bit on the low side, just increase a few taxes here and there. Even the Gilts are taking a dive and soon it will not be worthwhile to have them. What will that mean for borrowing? Oh, let’s not worry about that just give every other +9devolved government the power to borrow. Let’s live for today, bugger tomorrow! If anyone calls that frivolity named ‘The Budget’ a way of putting Britain on the right road to fiscal probity, please make a quick appointment with your shrink. It will do the opposite. Even call over more immigrants because instead of it becoming difficult to live in the UK, it is becoming so much more lucrative. Despite all the warnings, Labour has stopped the ears with a solid wax plug. Despite the words, no proper action as usual. Not even from this Budget. A waste of time and also an even greater waste of money. And all that from a shrinking base of employees that still can afford to pay 40% of their income but possibly even more. Thank you Labour, and don’t forget the dame-hood for the bank teller!

Do we really understand our adversaries?

Having read one of the Telegraph’s articles, the ones that are sent called Top Stories on mobiles, named ‘Putin will soon turn his war machine on Britain’ , I wasn’t sure whether to start packing my belongings or laugh uproariously. It was attributed to Ben Wallace , a former Secretary for Defence, so it must be taken seriously. Looking at the article at first one can easily dismiss it as a bit of fanciful drivel, much like loads of other ‘ Telling you what is going to happen’ stuff. Obviously most does not, will not happen or are just fancy personal emanations of deep-seated fear of the unknown. Whatever, I wouldn’t think someone like Sir Ben would succumb to such fear. So, I read the article again and picked up the psychological slant on meetings with people who have had little discourse or meetings with opponents in foreign climes. People like Gerasimov, Shoigu for instance. What I picked up was the insular thinking by the Russian leadership. But these are the people who decide or ...

Money, money, it's just so funny....Not

Just in case you thought everything was great then you have not heard the latest wonderful news from the US? Their debt ceiling might have to be £30+ trillion dollars? Eh? That is thirty million million million dollars. Excuse me, who is running that show? $30,000,000,000,000,000,000 debt. Well, that puts my own debt with the bank in some perspective. Just wondering what the US banks charge for all of that? It’s just mind boggling. What is more worrying is this – when such a ceiling will collapse, as it will, then what? We are always talking about how wonderful it is to live in a free world but is it really free when we are shackled by such debt? It is not just the US, Europe is just the same, in fact all countries seem to be burdened with debt. So, a good question to ask is who pays for all of that? Well, in a way it is you and me. We might save some money in some sort of a savings account (if we are lucky!) and the savings banks and others will invest that in government bonds hooveri...

The mantra is 'Build, build, build!

The m antra today, the political mantra that is, appears to be – 'affordable housing'. Sounds good doesn’t it? Well, at least it will sound good for those looking for a home, house or flat, which they can afford. The new Labour government and it was the mouthpiece, the deputy PM who stated unequivocally, ‘We will be building millions of new homes all across the country within three years’. Absolutely bl**ding brilliant. I am applauding. Hey wait, are there any thoughts on this? Has the government researched this properly? Or is it as per the usual government action, a lovely soundbite? Let’s assume they will do what they said they will do. First, the land, where will they be built? Londonistan is full and the land around the city is needed for recreation. They are not going to build on Hampstead Heath. Birmingham and other larger cities similarly, so they will as already indicated compulsory take land. It is not quite clear whether this will include ‘Green Belt’ land but I wou...
