What Has Happened to our Public Services?

On the even of one of the largest and potentially dangerous influx of economic migrants arrving from Rumania and Bulgaria we got a glimpse of the future following a few December storms. It is clear that already the public utility services cannot cope in emergency.

Threre appears to be no continency plans set for unusual weather.  Airports close, trains are cancelled, electricity companies cannot be contacted, roads are cluttered with fallen trees and accident and emergency wards are creaking at the seams with the elderly waiting hours for attention.

Everywhere you look we have incompetence and an inability to cope.  It is Christmas so they all run away and hide.  In the meantime families have been left withour essential services and are just offered apologies and compensation.  That compensation comes from us the, rest of the general public, who got away with it this time! 

But why are so many houses being regularly flooded?  The simple reason is that in their desperation to cope with the wave of economic migration they have been quietly building on flood plains.  They are called 'flood plains' because they bloody flood!

My serious complaints are however, always reserved for the transport industry.  The lack of planning, the lack of essential resources, the filth, the overcrowding, excessive prices and a total lack of empathy for the paying customer would be challenged by any politician with an ounce of integrity.

They continue to fatuously argue about HS2 and a third airport when what they should be doing is modernising our existing railways, cancelling franchises and cleaning up disgusting airports like Gatwick!

When will it Stop?

Day after day we have revelations that some public servants are creaming off huge amounts in almost any available scam.  They can call it what they like but severance payments, bonus payments or huge retirement pension pots are being creamed off by a small cartel of chief executives.  Once you have broken through the glass ceiling then millions are on offer.

The main perpetrators are the Civil Service, the BBC, the NHS, Local Government and a huge group of quangos.  They are all sucking on the teat of the public purse.  There is a huge row on the severance payments of top BBC executives.  They have been gorging themselves on our money. Then G4S have been discovered (not for the first time) to be cheating the public on security.

Let's face it this country is mired in corruption.  The people who are emerging at the top of every tree are generally corrupt. We cannot trust anyone anymore.  The people who the BBC and the mainstream media regularly feature are all playing a game and are being richly rewarded.

The game being played by all our EU supporting politicians/public servants and trade union chiefs is simple.  Spend as much as you want from the public purse because we must bankrupt the country as quickly as possible.  Nobody is even trying to stop it!  Even the politicians are in line for a pay rise despite their expenses and subsidies.

This country should follow the example of Cairo but then we don't care enough.  We accept that all these crooks can grab millions of our public money and they know that nobody will care enough to protest!  We are all mugs and deserve everything that we get!!

NHS - The Story Unfolds!

The scandal currently engulfing the NHS is getting great air time as more detail emerges about the personalities involved.  Apparently one of the major players now says that she wanted to speak out...too late dearie!

I was amazed to discover that the CEO of CQC responsible for the redacted report, Cynthia Bower, was also CEO of NHS West Midlands when the previous scandal of Stafford Hospital erupted!
She was appointed to that position in July 2006 only three months before Sir David Nicholson (according to the Daily Mail 'the man with no shame') moved from CEO of the West Midland Strategic Health Authority to be CEO of the NHS. Such a link is rarely coincidental

If you think that is bad then read all about Sir David Nicholson's young wife! She apparently began as his junior and by the time she was 32 she was CEO of Birmingham's Children's Hospital!  Talk about wheels within wheels!

I do not understand why the NHS Board of Directors cannot see that Sir David Nicholson just has to be responsible for so much of the scandal that has engulfed the NHS in recent years.  Even his 'troughing' is legendary! 

It is little wonder that the mainstream media throughout the day has been latching onto this recent incredible cover up.  These senior executives have fallen so low it is difficult to comprehend the magnitude of their criminality but when you read up on their boss it is hardly surprising.  One can only wonder at the morality of the members of the NHS board who continue to employ him.

Paris Brown sums up our Politicians!

Paris Brown

The appointment of a sixteen year old as a youth crime commissioner in Kent by their female PCC Ann Barnes probably sums up politics in this country. It has taken less than a week for the mainstream media to discover the background of this disreputable young girl. 

Did nobody in the police look at her twitter account before appointing her.  In case you don't know what I am talking about she uses just about every profanity in the dictionary alongside terms such as 'fags', 'illegals' and 'pikeys'. Her terminolgy and lifestyle would get most of us locked up but PCC Ann Barnes gave her a job and a £15000 a year salary at 16 years of age!  A full report is here.

If I remember correctly the organisation 'Common Purpose' plays a very prominent role in the Kent Police force and I would just wonder if this appointment is another example of their duplicity?
If you are going to appoint a young person (why would you?) then surely it should be someone of impeccable character and Paris Browns' comments on twitter clearly betray her.

My concern is the thinking of PCC Ann Barnes.  Perhaps the voters should remember this when she comes up for re-election! 

UPDATE: Is this poor, weeping, creature really worth £15000 of taxpayers's money? Who chose her and why? What is REALLY behind this ludicrous appointment?  They could have selected so many good examples of youth but they selected Paris Brown!  It beggar's belief!  Poor girl has now tasted public life. I hope that she has learned the lesson.

Cyprus...now we Know!

Bye Bye Laiki!

Well the deal that the EU, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund cobbled together with the Cypriot Government to 'steal' money from rich depositors has finally come to fruition.

If this had been a story  taken from a novel 10 years ago it would have been dismissed as farcical.
Governments and banks forcibly 'stealing' money from depositors to keep a country in an organisation funded by public money but never audited! What a joke!

My question is  what happens now? If I was a Russian oligarch who had just had a huge chunk of money relieved from my account without my permission my wealth would not stay too long in a Cypriot bank!  The Cypriot government still has to pay back the 'bail-out' so how will they do that if their wealthiest depositors withdraw what is left of their savings?

I stated previously that I am sure the Russians will challenge this act of treachery because it must somewhere contradict international agreements.  It just cannot be honest.  It also illustrates that we cannot trust the international banking system.  What they have done once they will do again and again and clearly nobody is safe.

Just remember we (here in the UK) have been printing money to manipulate the economy for some considerable time now.  They have given it a high sounding name 'quantitative easing' but it is still cheating the people. As a result of what has happened in Cyprus I no longer trust banks.  We all need bank accounts but I shall only be keeping sufficient in my current accounts to meet the bills because I believe that one day it will all come crashing down.

In addition is the proposed 'Mansion Tax' not another way to forcibly confiscate wealth? It is not directly robbing bank accounts but it is indirectly confiscating wealth. We must begin to oppose this morally bankrupt political class or else we will all lose our savings one way or another!

Cyprus Could Just be the Start!

International finance is not my forte so I consult articles and economists to form an opinion.  This is one of the best at explaining the situation in Cyprus.  Today on SKY news Daniel Hannan the Tory MEP also came up with an interesting suggestion.  He thinks that it would be less painful for the Cypriots to return to their own currency and default from the EU.

That means that they would become a test case.  If they succeeded in escaping the clutches of The EU and once again became an independent country and weather the consequences then surely countries like Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy would be tempted down the same route. The EU has actually only been good for Germany.

The situation that has arisen in Cyprus however, has illustrated just what a duplicitous bunch they are at the heart of the EU.  They have shown their hand.  It may just cause a huge run on the banks among the hard pressed nations because everyone now knows what could happen.  They can no longer trust their banks.

I just have a terrible feeling that Cyprus is just the start and the EU could collapse like a pack of cards once the people rediscover their power.  Now the people know the truth they have been alerted. The banks are in a bad way.  They have seriously fouled up and when they ask the European Central Bank for assistance the reply came back...only if you raid the private accounts of depositors!

Nice one! Game On!

The Paramilitary Olympics!

I do sometimes wonder what it will take to reorganise the Home Office. Since our Civil Service was politicised by New Labour the performance of many of our goverment departments has plummeted but nowhere is it quite as inept as the Home Office. For a government department to be unable to guarantee security at the London Olympics to such an extent that they have to call in 3500 troops is a national scandal. 

These games start in a little over two weeks so they have two weeks to train and organise serving soldiers who must be somewhat resentful. Why has it taken until now for LOCOG to discover that their security contractors are incompetent? What has the Home Secretary been doing? Of course anyone who can foul up the UK Border Agency should not be trusted with security at the Olympics but then Theresa May is a moderniser so that excuses everything

Many of these soldiers have just arrived home from Afghanistan and apparently have been told to cancel family holidays to shore up the Home Office incompetence. I never thought that I would ever write this but they should go on strike and refuse!

How can it be that all those politicians and senior Civil Servants who receive perks beyond the comprehension of most of us (and most soldiers) continue in their jobs after this shambles. Theresa May should resign in shame. Why is Ed Miliband our political opposition not demanding her resignation. Oh I forgot he is on holiday along with all the others.

I have long posted that these Olympics are verging on a shambles. We have surface to air missiles mounted on private residential property. We will have security guards checking that the public don't intend to picnic or even eat their own food. McDonalds have a concession which allows them alone to sell chips. I should correct that to French Fries because they can't cook chips!

The organisation of the Olympics is likely to be flawed. Something will go wrong. The only guarantee is that only the general public will suffer. Those incompetent senior officials and politicians will continue to enjoy their bomb proof lives receiving their bonuses and enjoying the best seats. Perhaps we should rename this event the Paramilitary Games!

Endemic Corruption...Is It Everywhere Now?

This morning I watched Treasury Secretary, Danny Alexander, squirming on the BBC news programme when he was grilled by presenter Charlie Stayt. He gave the impression of a man staring into headlights knowing that his world was about to collapse. He stuttered and stammered and refused to address questions or even profess an opinion. It was the performance of a condemned man, someone who is hiding a lot of information he does not want the public to know. 

Surely the Bank of England could see what was happening with regard to the Barclay's fraud? But then in their own way are they not complicit in a fraud to keep interest rates so low that savers are being penalised? Are they not printing money using the term 'quantitive easing' to ensure that interest rates remain low? Is this not a dangerous practice and a fraudulent deception?

I fear that this lack of integrity by a few politicians and bankers will eventually impact on us all. Our financial industry could be much closer to the brink than most of us know. It will only stop when someone is jailed and made to repay the bonuses that they have earned during the period of malpractice.

The public are angry. We don't need more lengthy, expensive enquiries where the guilty can hide behind a curtain of civility. We want fraudsters in the dock being pilloried by sharp tongued barristers. We want to see them suffer and before this story breaks even further I will bet now that the guilty will include as many politicians as it does bankers. 

Everywhere we look we stumble upon corruption. Last night Channel Four took a murky peep behind the scenes of the Olympics where overinflated prices and dirty accommodation were highlighted. There seems at present a total absence of integrity in modern Britain and that stems from the top.

I do not want to believe this?

I do not want to believe the article that I am about to post on here. I know nothing about the author or his origins but I only know that so much of it has the ring of truth. We are daily getting warnings from so many quarters that the bankers and the corporatocracies have become so greedy that they have 'corpsed' the financial system which we all have trust in.


The major western governments are so desperate to retain their hold on power that they are wasting billions on war and sacrificing thousands of lives. Our financial system is in disarray because we are printing money to meet our commitments. If we do not find another way of balancing the books then what is left? What can we trust? Who can we trust?


If you are a seriously minded individual read this article and then think about what is going on. We all know that it cannot continue in the same vein. It is crazy economics to allow the bankers to grant themselves these enormous bonuses. It is crazy economics to allow Town Hall fat cats their inflated salaries. It is crazy economics to give away a nation's wealth to countries who do not deserve or need it. It is crazy economics to grant millions every day to an unelected political union that the people do not want. 


I reckon we have very little time left to get rid of the Political Class who have corrupted the country. If we don't turn the tide then we will face the consequences. The Britain today is unrecognisable from the Britain that I grew up in. They are wrong and we are right so please use your vote wisely in the forthcoming local elections. Please do not endorse their nonsense! 

Care for the Elderly?

This morning live on BBC television a care worker from Norfolk burst into tears at the complete madness of her care industry. It would appear that she was on the verge of insanity at her inability to change a system which is clearly rotten to the core.

At the centre of this mayhem are heartless Town Hall fatcats who are trying to cut costs (so that they can claim their bonuses) and reduce care for the elderly to a time management issue. The care worker in question had just revealed that she did not have sufficient time to care for her clientele unless she worked unpaid in her own time!

Clearly care for the elderly has become a local government cost issue and consequently the fatcats will be determined to cling onto their monstrous salaries, expenses and bonuses. In my opinion it is time that Westmonster layed down guidelines but then where do we start? Nobody with a hint of compassion can stipulate rules for care in the community. Only the care worker can judge each individual situation as it arises and if they are employed as a care worker then they should be trusted to deal with each individual problem.

Greed is the problem. I would suggest that whenever we discover an example of neglect then we immediately sack the appropriate manager. If they were under this type of threat then it might just encourage them to care slightly more for the people on their books!

This never happened in the days when town hall employees were paid a reasonable salary and everything else was spent on the public. Until we return to sanity and end the greed culture our elderly and everyone else will continue to be deprived of the services that we need. 

The 2012 Olympics

I am almost incandescent with rage! Now that takes something special because at my age rage should really be avoided. Rage causes stress and stress for the elderly is a condition which must be avoided at all times. So what has brought me to this critical point of my life and I will direct you towards the Olympic Games.

I am an avid sports fan. No that is too mild because I am almost obsessive about sport. I am even more obsessive about the Olympics because I have glued myself to the television at every Olympic Games since... well I remember watching the 1948 London Olympics at the cinema with my Dad.

So when we 'won' the Olympics for 2012 I was pleased. At my age I was probably too old to apply for tickets but nevertheless I thought it was good for my country. Then the jiggerypokery began! Lord Seb Coe who was a magnificent athlete and a dreadful person led the British bid and in my opinion was, for the public, the worst person possible and for the Political Class, the epitome of their dreams! 

Under his leadership a more corrupt scheme for the allocation of tickets could not have been devised. What was left over was offered to the public and to get any kind of ticket they had to register a credit card and had no idea what kind of ticket they would obtain!

I mean can you imagine this happening in any other walk of life? You will pay up front but you do not know what ticket for what event you will achieve. It was a nonsense and two thirds of the public didn't get anything at all and that included parents, friends, advisors, coaches or personal sponsors. I could not believe what was happening but then where were the good tickets going? What was happening to the 'golden' tickets  and now we know.

For months we have seen corporate bodies advertising Olympic tickets as prizes for their sleazy competitions. Now today the crunch has been uncovered. OUR GOVERNMENT spent three quarters of a million pounds of OUR money in securing the BEST tickets for government supporters, civil servants, quango queens and well anyone who is in 'the club'.

They defend their scandalous corruption by declaring that these government officials will 'pay' for their tickets! Oh goody so these servants of the proletariat will actually pay for the 'golden' tickets but who will monitor that? Who will ensure that the 'club' members actually pay for the very best Olympic tickets or will we through our taxes ensure that the most corrupt people in our society get the best seats?

How long are we going to put up with this utter  corruption?They are spitting on us the public and they don't care. They have corrupted the Olympic Games and no matter what happens now they have corrupted and ruined the 2012 Olymic Games. Only our Political Class could achieve that. The trumpeting of the journey of the Olympic torch will never diminish the scandal of the distribution of the tickets!

A European Mess!

I have been posting for well over three years that the European Union was a corrupt mess. The longer that I have been shouting from the rooftops the worse it has got. There is nothing that will make me retract one word because we have only been allowed to remain a member because we pay in such huge sums.

I have written before that I know nothing of the intricacies of international finance so I cannot understand why almost every country attached to the EU is in a parlous financial state. How is it that countries like Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Portugal have all been allowed to rack up such debt?

I read today that Greece is almost on the verge of being kicked out of the EU (lucky Greece!) and the Italian debt is so vast that there is not enough money in Europe to service it! What? How on earth can these eurocrats have allowed that to happen? I asked the same question when Gordon Brown seemingly with intent drove the economy of the UK into the ground.

Why are they not in jail? How can anyone be allowed to mismanage the accounts of a nation, to the extent that they cannot meet their debts? These were not poor nations. They collected vast sums from public taxes and yet a group of politicians clearly have gone out of their way to destroy their nations. It is tantamount to treason.

All these nations were doing fine until the EU came along. It is only since they created this behemoth that the problems have arrived. They tell us that if we resigned from the EU our trade would suffer but how come with the advantage of this huge internal market the member states are all broke (except Germany)? How is it that we are not all trading with each other and ignoring goods from China, India, Japan and Brazil?

That may be naive but everyone knows that the only reason that cheap goods arrive from these emerging super powers is the cheap labour. Come to think of it why are we still bunging them foreign aid? I reckon that a fairly, honest man in the street with half a brain and no 'agendas' could turn any of these countries around!

The European Union...as ever!

What a mess the Eurozone is! None of the southern European states appear to be solvent. Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy seen incapable of good government. It is clear, even to an ignoramus like me that the European Union is bust. Germany alone is keeping it afloat so the only reason that it has not been dissolved is personal ambition.

Our mainstream politicians, who have all linked their careers to the useless EU, are now groping around hoping for a solution to their financial problems. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN! Greece is bust and they must look after themselves. In my opinion so is Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland so what is left? Once again the socialist experiments have failed so why do they keep happening?

Who is behind this rottenness? Well of course it is quite clear that the banks are the villains. The banks lend the money to the politicians. This blog has for the past three years been pointing the finger in the direction of the history of the Rothschilds. They clearly are the villains and tonight just now Nick Leeson (remember him?) is on Newsnight declaring that when government finds a good regulator/auditor then they are immediately employed by the banks.

Our politicians should listen more to Nick Leeson. He fouled up once but he is clearly a very switched on guy.

The 'Occupy' Movement

The 'occupy' movement began when I visited Florida with the family a few weeks ago. I heard about in on Fox news but there has been precious little publicity this side of 'the pond'.

It is driven by the modern social media outlets like 'Twitter' and 'Facebook' that are difficult to monitor. Apparently today the 'occupy the Stock Exchange' campaign drew a moderate crowd  but reports describe an 'occupy' plan in Rome as turning violent.

This is the point because the young need a rallying flag. It is their future that the politicians, the bankers and the lawyers are wrecking. They are the people with the energy and motivation to fight for their futures. I know that their education has been pathetically dumbed down particularly with regard to history, general knowledge and current affairs but it is impossible to dumb down a whole generation.

The 'occupy Wall Street' initiative has now lasted many weeks and they are not going away. Hundreds have been arrested but I think that they are seizing this one opportunity to bond together. I do hope that the 'Stock Exchange' occupation becomes an embarrassing nuisance because it is the only way to shake the 'Political' and 'Bonus' classes out of their complacency.

One day the UK must get back to normal. For that to happen the people must regain control of the banking and legal systems. The EU farce is bound to collapse and then the quangos will fall and the mainstream politicians will all be discredited. It will happen but these Euro/Quangocrats will impose maximum damage before they lose their grip. Already the forecasts are that to save the euro the EU must find two trillion euros to shore it up! Two bloody trillion!!?

Personally I believe that this only proves the extent of the damage that this banking inspired socialist conspiracy will inflict on the young. They must find a flag to rally around. The 'occupy' movement seems to have made its mark and the more bright young people who discover that their fancy degrees buy them nothing but disappointment the better. These are the very people who need to challenge the authorities. They need to get involved and embarrass people like David Cameron and then guess what...the most corrupt Olympics ever held is less than a year away! It could become a battleground!

Printing money...again!

A few years ago I read that Zimbabwe had ruined their economy by printing money. It is called 'quantitative easing' but that is just a posh name for downgrading the value of a country's money. Today the Bank of England decided to print another £75 billion to pour into the economy in order to 'steady the ship'.


OK I am not a high finance expert. I am a very low finance expert because I don't owe a sou to anyone now that my mortgage has been paid. I recognise the value of being able to afford what you want. When my wife and I first got married we had second hand everything. If it was cheap it was ours and because of that we balanced the books. When I came out of the services I was offered double the value of my mortgage but my inate caution told me to take what I could afford in the worst of circumstances. As a consequence we are solvent.


Today the politicians and bankers have created a second or even third generation who believe that when they spend money they do not actually have in the bank then it is irrelevant. It doesn't matter because they will face the consequences sometime in the future. This attitude has almost become a British culture.


Today on the flight back from Orlando I read that we had far more Generals and Brigadiers than battle tanks. Our total battle tank army could probably be commanded by a half decent Warrant Officer so why have we got so many parasitic brass. Similarly in the navy the Admirals outnumber the ships so what do they do? They are the people who have allowed the politicians to shrink the services so why do we have that number of high maintenance top officers?


This is always the problem. We have created a culture which protects a number of people who earn huge salaries but never ever contribute to the economy (some would call them quangos). These are the same people who harangue the welfare contributions to the sub underclass from the council estates because they claim benefits. BOTH are a burden on our society. When you have been educated at the best schools, supported throughout by a society which will favour you because you speak nicely, your friends speak nicely, your family speak nicely then is it not time that you challenge yourself?

The unfairness in our society is that we have politicians, bankers, unions and countless faceless powers (ie the EU) who do not want to change this ludicrous imbalance. We have hordes of well spoken toffs and hordes of cockney speaking union bosses but very few people who are actually batting for the working class. Sorry folks but this is my socialist background seeping through.


We should not be printing money we should be protecting what we earn. We should have political parties that understand budgetry. All of our leading politicians have been born with a privileged background or have bullied their way through the unions. Where is Keir Hardie when we need him?


(By the way if you have never heard of Keir Hardie then this blog is not for you) BUT...just google him and then reread my post. Believe me Ed Miliband, Ed Balls, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson, Harriet Harman are not Socialists... they just hijacked the party which was meant to represent you and me!


In the meantime...I am off to bed jetlagged!

Yet another rogue trader...!

Kweku Adoboli

 As my much more famous brother would scream 'I don't believe it' now that yet another rogue trader has been discovered squandering a large sum of money in what is effectively blatant gambling. Clearly the banking industry has not learned from their previous exploits which nearly wrecked the country's economy.

If they cannot install effective controls upon their staff then surely it is the responsibility of government to ensure that banking methods are secure and that public money is safe in their hands. The greed of the banking fraternity is legend and clearly they are unable to rein in their employees.

This episode has fortunately revealed that the culture of 'playing the markets' still exists but it should only be done with their own money! It is therefore time that the government once again called in the bankers and read the riot act. This irresponsibility must be curbed.

The Olympic Games

Today's Mail on Sunday is carrying a report that our Olympocrats have plans to create their own transport lane to take them to and from the various events without hindrance from the rest of us. These special VIP lanes won't have red lights or zebra crossings and nothing will be allowed to impair their progress (something like the ZIL lanes they used to have in Soviet Moscow).

Now considering the number of disconnected young thugs who turned out in the riots this action could be like a red rag to a bull. Even for law abiding Londoners who are having to pay for this extravaganza the sight of Lord Coe's army thumbing their noses as they whizz past in their chauffeur driven BMWs could cause deep resentment.

I have a funny feeling that these Olympics could be a disaster for Britain. They have already been hijacked by the Political Class and the Bonus Class so that their profits can be maximised and the public are already feeling distanced.  I can just imagine stolen wheely bins filling the ZIL lanes in London. I fear that the social problems which have been piling up particularly in the London Boroughs could boil over and expose our troubled society to the world.  

I strongly suggest that if these so called VIPs want to avoid the public they use helicopters. I really don't think that Londoners would tolerate Soviet style hospitality no matter how much they wish to flaunt their wealth and connections. They may be trying to impose East Germany on us but too many are yet to accept this lifestyle!

She is married to the Speaker of the House of Commons!

I have just stumbled upon this years's 'Big Brother' almost by accident and witnessed the wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons being the first person to be evicted ahead of some of the worst 'Z' list nonentities. Sally Bercow is married to one of the most prominent of politicians and yet she has demeaned him and her family by appearing on this trashy programme.


It defies belief! She is living in a grace and favour home courtesy of the taxpayer and yet she feels that it is appropriate to appear with people who just court publicity. I despise this current Speaker because he stood as a Conservative and yet constantly supports the socialists. That is why he was elected to the position. The problem is that his judgement is seriously at question. His wife apparently has a long history of indiscretion.


This is our Political Class. Remember the last Speaker had to resign. He was then ennobled and now resides in the House of Lords. Look at the other 'Lords' and their track records...Prescott and Mandelson and so many others who have disgraced their office.


Clearly the disciples of the bankers who rule the world have no discernible principles. They really believe that they are unaccountable and of course they are right. They are bought and paid for and they belong to the Ruling Class. If you are not in the club then 'tough luck' because they have the guns and the power. This country no longer has a democracy. We are being ruled by a power group of bankers who care not a jot for democracy and the Royal Family appears to have accepted the inevitable (or they part of it?).


What Sally Bercow has achieved is to draw attention to this ridiculous situation. She is a 'one off' and that is being polite. Her husband controls the House of Commons but cannot persuade his wife that she should show some decorum. A weak man is exactly what the politicians and the bankers thrive on. In particular the bankers have recruited, over many decades, weak people who will bow to their demands. Most of our MPs are from that ilk...they have been vetted and approved so that all will be well.


They only serve the Banking Class and that is why they have been elected. Most of the electorate still believe the joke that our elections are important. Actually they don't matter because all the parties support the bankers. So whether you vote Cameron/Miliband/Clegg you will get the same. Of course you can't vote BNP, EDL, UKIP because if you do, according to the mainstream media, you could be termed a traitor/racist/nutter!


Well done Sally m'love you have played a blinder!

How much longer will this go on?

It is clear to almost everyone that the European Union is a wounded animal and it will only be a matter of time before someone has to put it down. The Eurocrats are pouring billions into trying to save Greece from a fate of their own creation. In the history of world finance I cannot ever remember witnessing so much spent on such a worthless cause.

I have often blogged that this financial mess has been engineered deliberately by the banking fraternity. I still suspect that somewhere in the higher echelons someone is gleefully rubbing their hands together watching so many economies of so many countries in dire need.

I recently read a report that the economy of the Unted States is also in trouble and if that is true then someone on high is really manipulating the books. I suspect that we only have to read our history books to discover who. There doesn't appear to be a politician in the western worold who can hold the bankers to account. Most of them should have been closed down when Gordon Brown allowed them to bail themselves out with public money.

We used to have a word to describe them...

Lord Kinnock

Sir Liam Donaldson

Two stories appeared in the mainstream media this morning which when linked epitomise the deline of the nation and the reasons for it. They also named the leading politicians and public servants who in this age of austerity for the masses continue to ignore the economy and steadfastly drain vast amounts of public money into their own bank accounts.

One headline in the News of the World' screamed '£32 billion Fat Cat Pot' and detailed the pension pots of the top Civil Servants. Now I would not normally admit to reading the NOTW but in this instance everyone is aware that some 'elite' public servants have somehow created pension pots which pillage the public purse. If we the public will have to work longer in the future surely there is a case for the government to sit these people down and talk some sense into them. Most of them have actually presided over the ruination of the nation and contributed to it. They are no friends of ours!

The 'Mail on Sunday' concentrated on the story of how a cabal of peers have defeated any attempt to allow the public a referendum on any further constitutional changes which emanate from the European Union. All of these disgraceful peers apparently still receive huge pensions from the EU to guarantee their loyalty. Once again most of them have been instrumental in handing our sovereignty to the unelected unaudited commissars of the EU. We used to have a word to describe them and in the years after the Second World War it was perceived as an unimaginable crime. Today amongst the Political Class it is almost mandatory.

One thing is guaranteed...it will not now change until the public changes it. You will not see the government addressing any of it. I suspect that David Cameron knew that his Europe Bill would flounder in the Lords. He is very good at window dressing but nothing ever changes. So if you want to work all your life with the pensionable age continuing to rise then keep voting for them folks! They just love it!
