Oh Dear! Who is right? Who is responsible? Who has the answers? This is so important because the future of our children and grandchildren is at stake. We have a Chancellor of the Exchequer who is borrowing like nobody has ever borrowed before to keep our financial system (which failed us) in business. He has already propped up the very people who got us into this mess but has not ensured that they have got the message.
The Tories say that he is wrong. All the financial experts are pitching in and giving so many different answers but who is right? Does anybody know?
Well I have managed my family economy for almost forty years and I can only lean on common sense. My wife and I have always been prudent because we have had to be prudent. In 1976 when interest rates went sky high the British Army sent me, at very short notice, to Northern Ireland and I lost control of our finances because we were living apart and I was spending more than was sensible. I almost lived the life of a single man which meant I spent a lot of time in the bar!
It had its consequences and it took us a good few years to get on an even keel. Despite our problems we did not borrow a penny! We inherently knew that what is borrowed has to be paid back often with interest. Now we were lucky because I always had an income and it was just a matter of managing that income properly.
Now Alistair Darling is in the same situation. He has an income and he must manage it properly but he can't do that if his ideological ideas do not let him manage it correctly. He pays out millions every day (I hear £37 million per day) to the European Union and we get very little back. We still pay out billions in foreign aid to countries like India and Pakistan which they do not need (well India doesn't and Pakistan is no friend of this country). What amazes me is that none of our mainstream political parties attack this huge expenditure! We cannot afford it!
Why are we still in two wars when neither war affects our security. The war in Afghanistan does not concern us. Let's face it we have absorbed so many of their citizens into our economy that both Iraq and Afghanistan should be eternally grateful!
If, back in 1976, my wife and I had borrowed our way out of our financial difficulties then we would still be paying it back. Alistair Darling is borrowing billions just to win the next election and the idiots in this country will cheer. The rest of us know that it has to be paid back with interest. It will not work because most of the public will not rush out to spend the few quid that he has tossed in our direction.
NoLab have frittered away their inheritance and it showed in their embarrassed faces in the House of Commons today. It is poor economics and everyone knows it. Wake up folks Brown and Darling are driving us into the ground and they don't care because despite their fine words they will lose the next election (if we ever get one) and then somebody will have to repair the damage that they have caused.
My worry is that the last time the Tories got their hands on the economy it was a disaster and we were so chuffed when a fresh faced conman like Tony Blair told us that 'Things can only get better'!
So here we are today and where do we go from here? NoLab have proven themselves to be useless and the Tories have also proven themselves in the past to be equally useless. The LibDems have no authority whatsoever so who can lead the country. Maybe we should go back to the monarchy and let Prince Charles have a go (joke folks) but we need a radical approach to our future. Unfortunately we will never get one unless we embrace a new fringe party

Kimmy RIP
This morning my beloved dog had to be put down by the vet. She had suffered two fits which were very distressing so we had no choice. Her last few hours were awful for all of us.
We have had her almost fifteen years and I walked her almost every day during that time. She had a lovely sweet nature and although dogs don't talk she knew exactly how to communicate what she wanted.
Since I retired we have been almost constant companions and her presence is everywhere in the house. I feel absolutely lost without her. She had a lovely life and gave back as much as she received. This afternoon I ate tea by myself and I was heartbroken.

Question Time
I am watching Question Time and Melanie Phillips from the Daily Mail has just voiced what so many of us think. She has just said that the three main political parties refuse to acknowledge that there are concerns about the lack of debate about Europe, and Immigration.
It is of concern that the BNP is the only escape that people like me have because we do not believe that we should be part of the unauditable European Union. Why is it that the only political party we have who declares against this monolithic Europoean Union is declared odious, vile and racist?
In my opinion it is the only peg that we can our hat on. If you look at the cross section of the public who have joined the BNP then they are not all racists. They are really a cross section of society. I see them as people who really care about our society. Yes there will be racists involved, like in NoLab there are communists, but then in all political parties there is a broad church and I can quite understand why people are looking at the BNP because there is no alternative.
One either votes BNP if you wish for exit from Europe and a credible policy
on Immigration or you vote for the three main parties. Is that a choice? Jesus (sorry) I am not a member of the BNP but what other choices do we have?

Strictly Come Dancing
Two days ago I blogged that John Sargeant was inadvertently in danger of wrecking the BBC's flagship programme 'Strictly Come Dancing'. I suggested that perhaps it was time to remove himself from the controversy so that the programme could return to the original format to discover the best dancer from a cast of amateurs.
Today he did the honourable thing and announced that he will dance for the last time on Saturday night. Well done John you have onbiously given a great deal of pleasure to a lot of people but enough is enough. This year we have the best set of dancers the programme has ever had and it would have been a travesty if a competition in which everyone is absolutely busting a gut to win could be ruined by a prank.
Well done John we see so little integrity in public life today that it was a pleasure to you conducting yourself with dignity. I do feel somewhat sorry for your partner though who has been magnificent.

The News Tonight!
Am I not the only person who is utterly sick of NoLab politicians publicly apologising for their behaviour and then carrying on exactly as before. Remember this is the nauseating Council who failed Victoria Klymbie (spelling) and then continued to follow NoLab dogma which is based on politics and not on human compassion!
They keep saying sorry when they are caught out but they are being caught out on every aspect of their policies. They only care about power and how to achieve it. They do not care about people. They only care about control. They apologise but NEVER resign because they are part of the political class that NoLab has created and is expanding and as such they have no conscience!
I promise you that this is now developing into a war. The British (English) people are under attack from an almost invisible enemy. Witness tonight that the BNP have had their total membership list published on the Internet and it is now in the hands of the press.
This is how to effectively destroy the opposition. It is disgusting! The BNP are a legal political party who disagree with Gordon Brown. To publish a list of their members is an act of betrayal and we have already discovered this week that opposition to Gordon and Ed is not tolerated. Look at Nevres Kemal and I make no apology for revisiting this courageous lady because they trumped up a charge designed to punish her honesty and threaten her most treasured possession. They attempted to take away her daughter!
I tell you what folks get ready for the struggle. You never thought that the Soviet Union would come to England. You never thought that East Germany could ever arrive on our shores. Well tell that to Baby P, tell that to the soldiers coming back from the war zones miles away from home dead or broken, tell that to the uneducated kids deprived of a proper education, tell that to the pensioners who cannot heat their homes and tell that to the members of the BNP who thought that they would support a cause which disagrees with Gordon Brown and tomorrow might lose their jobs!
And just to emphasise the issue they won't find my name on the membership list of the BNP but they bloody well might find it in the morning!!!
We must find a home for our outrage and now we have got one. If NoLab are so troubled by the existence of the BNP then perhaps we should challenge them. Perhaps Nick Griffin is not the best person to lead us and perhaps some of their members are not who we would want to get into bed with BUT their mission statement is clear and unequivocal. They clearly state that they disagree with NoLab and will fight them.
Perhaps if enough of us join the BNP then we can steer them towards respectability. If they do have a racist connotation and I am not saying that wanting to limit immigration or wishing to curb Muslim extremism is racist then perhaps we will suddenly have a fourth and very appealing political force.
I think that it is worth a thought.

Haringey Council
This horror story continues to evolve and the mainstream press reporters are really getting stuck in and rightly so.
It now appears that the Child Protection Officers are all following guidelines layed down by those on high. They appeared to be terrified or unable to use their eyes, ears and common sense. This poor little boy was passed from Social Workers to Police to Doctors for months on end and nobody seemed to be able to make the only sensible decision possible and get him out of that woman's care.
It appears that the guidelines state that the child should remain in the care of the mother wherever possible and so that was it. The kid was obviously being battered senseless but if the guidelines say he must stay then so be it. After all if you go against the guidelines like Nevres Kemal did then you could be up on charges of child neglect.
What type of person terrifies people to this extent? What type of organisation refuses to allow people who work under such pressure to use common sense? Who is such a control freak that they impose guidelines and regulations on almost everyone regardless of experience?
When Ed Balls the Children's Minister stands up and says that he is calling yet another enquiry into Child neglect in Haringey I suspect that he already knows who is to blame. He knows who wrote the guidelines and he knows who imposed them on the staff. I suspect that when he looks in the mirror he is quite close to the culprit!

The BNP
Last week an event happened in Boston (Lincs) which failed to capture too many headlines but I think that it is quite significant. In a By-Election for the Fenland Ward the BNP gained more votes than all the other parties combined.
Now before you cut your throat in horror let me tell you that the overall turnout was only 22.1% which just about sums up the public apathy in this country for local elections. I do think though that the result was interesting. The BNP candidate polled 279 votes, an Independent 141 and then came the main stream parties, Conservative 119, NoLab 64, UKIP 24 and LibDems 23.
You see if you want out of the corrupt European Union, like I do, the only parties who you can turn to are the BNP and UKIP. All of the main political parties are aligned to the European Union and like NoLab probably won't give you a vote because they think they would lose. The result of this little election appears to suggest that UKIP have lost their way completely much like the LibDems since Nick Clegg took over.
The problem is that if you read the mainstream media you will not want to align yourself with the cropped headed, swastika tattooed, bovver boys who want to wage war on anyone who is non white and pollute the BNP. If you visit their web site or read their very professional newspaper you suddenly get a different perspective. I cannot really disagree with their mission statement either and some of their news items expose activities that the other newspapers amazingly will not report.
I think that support for the BNP is growing as people become dissillusioned with the nonsense in the House of Commons. Week after week goes by and nothing changes. Nobody is addressing the issues which concern the man in the street. Gordon Brown may have the support of the media, particularly the BBC, but most people I talk to hate the man. David Cameron has an open goal every week in PM's Question Time but can't make Brown answer a question. They should be attacking everything that NoLab stands for and exposing their power crazy antics but they draw back from going for the kill.
I think their unity over the European question prevents Cameron from hitting Brown too hard. Whatever the reason this is not the Conservative Party which we once knew. Integrity appears to be lacking which is a concern. I shall be watching the march of the BNP in the future and if nobody else tells you about them I will.
