Are they trying to stop the public travelling?

At my age it never ceases to amaze me how much the British public will accept from a morally bereft government. It does not matter what government we elect the assault on our standard of living continues. For example the cost of travel is escalating at an unsustainable rate. I have just legally repeated the annual robbery which allows me to tax and insure my car.

Somehow the government has quietly raised road tax from a few pounds to a few hundred pounds. Somehow the government has increased the MOT fee many times above the inflation rate. The scandal regarding 'whiplash' injuries and false claims which pass undefended by insurance companies continues unabated. The slightest 'knock' results in thousands of pounds in 'compensation' and a subsequent huge rise in premiums.

Then we have the spiralling cost of fuel which should be the responsibility of government but is used as a stick to beat the public. The tax on fuel is a disgrace to a modern society but the real disgrace is the lack of regulation on the fuel providers. If you allow them every advantage they will take it.

So let's get rid of our motor vehicle and travel by public transport! Well at one point in our history we had a wonderful rail network which served us all and for a few pence we could board a tram or trolley bus. Today? Well thanks to one Doctor Beeching in the nineteen sixties many of the local rail stations disappeared. Many rural areas do not have public transport because the routes are not profitable. The costs are becoming prohibitive. Rail fares increase annually to the point where annual season tickets must be taken into account before offers of employment can be accepted.

Quite often it is cheaper to fly than to travel by rail but then someone in government invented airport tax and 'green' fuel charges to ensure that you had to think twice before lifting off.

I have a relative who recently had to give up her job because the cost of travel had overcome  her desire to work. She was better off staying at home! Now this really is a national scandal. There has been a huge debate recently about a 'cap' on benefits and some lunatic suggested that the national average for a working family was £26000! What planet are they on? £500 a week is not a cap it is a luxury! They are rewarding the feckless with a decent salary.

So the 'modernisers' continue their evil work and eventually only the rich will be allowed to travel. The working poor will be better off on benefits so they will stay at home. As ever we will sit in our homes watching the destruction of our nation and the loss of our values and shrug our shoulders. Meanwhile in Syria.....oh never mind!

Has the world gone mad?

I am watching the Daily Politics Show and I cannot quite believe what I am seeing. The Labour peers are deliberately blocking any attempt at reform for the House of Lords. On the surface it is a quite shameful attempt to halt government in progress. However, what else can one expect from socialists? They have no shame only a naked ambition to remain in power despite their lack of expertise.

Then we have the inflation rates! Why do we have two inflation indexes? For most of us inflation is bloody inflation. It does not matter a jot where it happens and how it happens. And just for the record... if anyone really believes that inflation for the average family is below 4% then they don't shop on the High Street. Energy prices are rocketing, fuel prices are rocketing and the knock on effect is that supermarket prices are rocketing!  Even if one doubles the 4% it will not reflect the truth so why the reticence? They are lying!!

Lastly what has happened in this country to justice? When a Christian couple (this by the way this was SKY news) who have been in business for 25 years object to unmarried couples using their rooms for unchristian purposes then is that not their business? Well it is their business but according to the organisation that fronts the 'Gay' movement, 'Stonewall', they have no right to Christian beliefs. That of course will breed a level of intolerance that we have never seen in this country.

For example it is well known that the 'gay' movement encourages 'gay' only hotels/premises that advertise themselves by flying a pink flag! If the Christian couple are wrong to discriminate against 'unmarrieds' then surely the pink flag is discriminating against heterosexuals. I cannot think of a heterosexual couple who would want to venture under the pink flag. That is nature. We are different;  but the problem is that the Christians do not have an aggressive power group determined to pursue their rights for acceptance. They only have the Churches who frankly abandoned that role many years ago.

Christians must develop a self defence mechanism because they are under attack. If they don't stand up for themselves then they will be decimated. It is a shame because most Christians are by nature kindly people who follow a set of decent beliefs but when the law comes down on the side of a power group who have a totally different set of values then they have a problem.

Inflation and our Foreign Policy

The British public are being robbed blind by the Public Service cartels and NOBODY is looking after OUR interests! Officially inflation is at negligable levels as bank interest rates reflect but unofficially it is going off the Richter scale!

Fuel prices escalating, rail travellers facing huge increases and across the board we are all facing a blow to our income with the increase in VAT. That means alcohol will rise and so will everything else. This may mean nothing to the people employed by quangos in the Bonus Class or to the Political Class but it is serious for the Paying Class.

It is particularly difficult for the people that have occupational pensions who daily see their spending power eroded. These are the sane and sensible who ensured for their old age and are now being cheated by the Political and Bonus Classes by their manipulation of the inflation rates.

I tell you folks until you protest...until you physically demonstrate against the Political Class then you will continually face a squeeze on your spending power. You are being taken for granted. You are being ignored. You have no representation at Westmonster because all they care about is their own largesse.

You will pay and pay and pay until you can pay no more. You will get no reward because your money is flying into Europe where it disappears as quickly as you pay it, it flies into the pockets of the Bonus Class and flies (apparently) to subsidise despots in places like the Congo, Sudan and Somalia.

There is not one MP who is prepared to stand up and speak for you! They posture and pose but in effect they have been bought and paid for and you won't vote BNP so you have nothing to grumble about. What will it take before you respond? What will it really take before you realise that you have been taken for a ride? When will you realise that they are laughing at you?

They are all actually acting a part in a huge game which enslaves everyone. They know that you are scared to challenge authority because that is how you have been reared. We don't do that kind of thing. The British have always been slaves. Our (great) grandparents hurled themselves against the German trenches and died in their millions, our fathers died in the same way in a war against Adolf Hitler and today our children are dying for a war that nobody can explain in Afghanistan.

Why do we constantly go to war? Why should we be the people who lose our lives? Do you see other European countries sacrificing their young for a political war? No you don't because we are the stupid people. We are the put upon. We are the people who are the easiest to manipulate, the ones who swallow the propaganda, the people who meekly accept the political indoctrination without question!

We have become uneducated idiots and we always accept our fate. We deserve what they decide we will accept. We are the British!

Inflation Rates!

So at last the money men have cottoned onto the fact that the rest of us have known for a very long time. The PM's inflation rates are a fabrication. We knew that in January and now the Bank of England has started to catch up! They confess to 3.5% but sooner or later they will have to raise the bar to something like the true rate!

The Real Inflation Rate

On 19 May I blogged that I my wife had saved her Tesco shopping receipts for a couple of months so that we could plot the real inflation rate. Well this has taken longer than I expected because, after I had inputted six weeks items onto a spreadsheet I pressed the wrong button and buggered it up! Still I have now completed the task and as expectedthe really savage rises are all in one area.

Politicians, particularly those that prefer the nanny state approach to leadership have recently been waxing lyrical about the benefits to be obtained from healthy eating. Children must be educated away from processed food and fast food outlets and introduced to 'greens'. There is only one problem about the benefits of eating vegetables and that is they cost so much. Here are the findings of my research into this.

Broccolli up 45%, Cabbage up 53%, Cauliflower up 76%, Leeks up 74%, Peppers up 15%and White Potatoes up 25%. In the last week or so Butter, Milk and Cheese are also beginning to rise but I am waiting on that one because I think there may be more to come.

So now we know under a NoLab government the less well off will not be able to eat healthily no matter how they may wish to. These rises have come in just 8 weeks so when will it plateau out. I intend to keep up with this study because I think that it is important to see just what is happening in this country particularly when we are continually being fed the line that Britain has a single figure inflation rate. Yeah and Gordon Brown is also the best Prime Minister to be never elected... and the worst!
