Debt? What debt...

Watching some of the TV news you might get the impression we are all mad. We have politicians pontificating about issues they have no idea about. You only have to watch the Australian PM or one of our own dwarves named Starmer. As a matter of fact you noticed I did not name the POTUS. I like him actually, at least he seems to know what he is doing. Alienating about everybody else on the planet. I also think it is about high time politicians, at least the top politicians stop putting into the pot ideas they have about how to rule. To be brutally honest, those ideas are just pantomime. It is high time they start thinking about what the country as a whole desperately needs. Politicians also need to understand you cannot be friends with every Tom, D*ck and Harry. But surely politicians need to get to grip with the finances. Basically because what you don’t have you cannot spend. If you do spend what you do not have there will be a cost. Just to mention here that cost to the UK population is a deficit now approaching £3trillion!!! Worse, it seems to be the same in ALL western countries. The Americans are bending double under a absolutely massive $38trillion!! debt. It should be stated here it is also growing under a speed which is faster than the speed of light, and the same goes for the UK. Our wonderful bankteller Reeves borrows billions in one go. By all accounts £138 billion just before the budget. And they call that proper financial control. The truth is, it is basically the type of accountancy drug-takers use. You know that as, I take what I want, I take what I need and bugger the consequences. You see this performed by politicians across the world. The workers, those that still want to earn a living get short shrift. Used as cash-cows for every penny and cent. Having to listen to weasel words, wet tear stained eyes staring at us from TV screens telling us how well the politicians are looking after us whilst drawing up new policies to grab even more.

So, where could we all end up? The simple facts are we cannot carry on like this. There will be a point, if it hasn’t already passed, that the debt pile can no longer be financed. The interest charges will outweigh the income. The nations will be bankrupt. The Telegraph newspaper had an article exposing this very problem. The debt problem of the western world. It even discounted the Russians. Personally I believe we should not underestimate the Russian politics. True, they invaded Ukraine, it now seems just a side show, albeit a bloody one. But the main goal I think is the undermining, the disintegration of the western sphere. Meaning mainly, the US and Western Europe. This action is well underway. It also makes the politic actions and ideas of our wonders debatable. How far have the Russian tentacles infiltrated our systems, how much money has been put in the hands of those who make decisions or lead organisations. It makes a sad story how far we have sunk into the bog of human failings. I have said a a number of occasions we need to look at our political institutions and those who make the policies and decisions that affect us all and see whether these are counting as a criminal act. Nice, just to start the ball rolling.

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...
