UKIP if you want to – But they’re going nowhere

By tomtom

In answer to the query – are the Lib-Dems a spent force?

  

Why punish Nick he made the best fist of it in the circumstances and gave his fellow travellers a taste of power. But all it has achieved is to prove the Lib-Dems are indeed a spent force, out of tune with mainstream attitudes, an irrelevance in present Tory ideas of a modernised Great Britain.

 Though whether the debris left behind by new Labour has changed the UK horizon for the better or forever has to be at best – doubtful. What we really need, is a return to the Anglo-Saxon values of a bygone age when value for money ruled OK.

 Hyping up the value of everything to satisfy the ambitions of the Fractional Reserve Bankers is getting us nowhere. All it does is allow them to fill their boots and clip-clop off into the sunset weighed down with their spoils.

 While new Labour has over the years between 1924/2010 made several attempts to change the face of Britain with their Fabian Socialist ideals at the forefront, but only finished up inflicting great damage on our Anglo-Saxon way of life, our business practices and our English Common Law.

  We must recover primacy for English Common Law over the ridiculous rulings of the European Court of Human Rights. It is making a mockery of 1000 years of British Parliamentary practice.  We need a return to true Anglo-Saxon values to restore our credibility across the globe and imbue these values in developing nations.

  It’s something the Toffs Club appears to be incapable of. All they are set on doing, is whatever it takes to retain power across the political spectrum, by preserving the status quo for the Toffs. A situation that does not chime so well for Joe Sixpack and the rest of the 92% of us it takes to sustain the Toffs position in society.

784, is the number you should remember. 7% of the Uk’s population control 84% of the country’s wealth and they do it by using the other 93% of us, to make sure it stays this way. It has to be changed. A return to true Democracy is all it needs – Democracy First – UK.

Lady Thatcher Dies – Reported the BBC – What happens next?

By tomtom

What should happen next - might be more appropriate

A silly question – though it’s little more than we might expect from our Busted Broadcasting Company. With regard to Maggie who or what could follow her? A woman in a man’s world, she took them on and beat them at their own game. They couldn’t take it could they? So they ganged-up on her and that was despicable.

You could say intransigence did for her, but that’s not the whole picture. What she had to do required such a quality, when it came to the Unions. But she didn’t waver and beat them where others before her had failed.

 Personally I never agreed entirely with the way she went about things and could only stand in awe, at the way she triumphed against formidable odds. A true champion of British Interest she put the Great back in Britain. It’s still there today and will forever be – her enduring legacy.

 So long as we can avoid falling into the Bear Traps Labour set for us with their Fabian Socialist Dictat and their give us another chance mantra. Fat chance I’d say – for once we’ve re-distributed the deficit, got the spending mentality under control and decided how to restrain the bankers.

 We can get on with trading the world on our own terms and leave the Germans and their almighty Vaterland, to sort out what to do with the lame ducks of Europe. The Spirit of Maggie must and can live on and her Blood and Guts Bulldog determination can win the day, as we go forward to a Great British Future, as true blue Thatcherite Revolutionaries.

 If you’re looking for an answer that’s what can happen next

A Royal Charter for the Press?

Why Not?

All this stuff about MPs tinkering with a Royal Charter is nonsense. No incoming government is bound by what the previous lot did so if Labour - God forbid; were ever to get another crack of the whip they could foist their ideas on us then. But to try it by default with the aid of Nick and his buddies that's pernicious nonsense. Especially when they claim it's for the protection of the victims

They want legal constraints for MPs to protect their peccadilloes, their expense fiddles and their privacy, with so many cuckoos in the nest at Lib-Dem HQ. What else could Nick do but disagree with the idea of a Royal Charter?

But Dave's got 'em rumbled, Labour and the Lib-Dems and he's not letting them get away with it. It's a Royal Charter or nothing. The big problem either way is rogue reporters who distort the facts. If you were ever on the wrong end of such tactics, you'll know exactly what I mean.

How to stop it? Virtually impossible and no amount of new legislation will ever change that. Nevertheless; it will be good to see an end to the PCC acting on behalf of their Fellow Travellers. So hopefully an Independent Commission will do what the previous outfit never did. Evaluate complaints without bias. How do I know this? I’ve been there.

“Ending our Gateway to Europe status would be a big loss”

The Europhilliacs are at it again

By our tomtom

Britain’s Europhilliac employers have so far, been unequivocal in how they see the UK’s relationship with the European Union, wrote the Telegraph’s Damien Reece.

The core message to David Cameron from Big Business is:- “Do not encourage an EU exit.”  Why not Mr. Reece, are we to take it as read from recent comment you are suffering from Europhillia? Surely you are not of the opinion that all Red-blooded Heterosexual Anglo-Saxon men, women and children should be made to labour under the Yoke of Brussels Eurocrats for the rest of their natural without a smidgeon of revolt., for the sake of Big Business.

But then Big Business dances to a different drummer, from the rest of us. Their only motivation is Tomorrow’s Profit Margin. I know this because as a Local Councillor and Vice President of the Local Chamber of Trade I attended meetings with this auguste body of opinion.

What it told me in no uncertain manner was that their sole Raison d’être is tomorrow’s profit figure and whatever degree of insouciance they can engender in the City Fathers to sustain it, is Fair Game. Though in effect, this is to some extent an obvious motivator, it totally ignores any function in relative terms to the well-being of the nation, as a whole.

It reminds me of the scene from the Movie Clear and Present Danger. Where Escobado the Columbian Drug Baron; is bemoaning the attack on his underground cocaine processing facility, by Ritter’s Band of Covert Mercenaries. They’ve demolished his factory with high explosives and as he inspects the damage he’s screaming vehemently at the top of his voice:- “They’re stealing my money.”

Well that’s what it feels like to your average Joe Sixpack back in this United Kingdom, as these EU Invaders, these economic migrants flood in. They’re stealing our money, using the system that was supposed to protect our own UK subjects from the vagaries of the Anglo-Saxon style of economic cycling with Social Security Benefits and the like.

This influx has generated a Rising tide of Criminal Activity by cut throats, thieves, pick-pockets and racketeers, assisted by naïve officialdom and misguided legal officials with an eye for the main chance when it comes to ‘Billing Opportunities’.

Whilst it is uncertain that these practices leave definitive traces of illegality, the evidence that such practices are becoming widespread is there in the statistics. Whilst this may not be bona-fide evidence as demanded by our judicial system, it is nevertheless self-evident to anyone caught up in the net.

It's not the place of our United Kingdom to accept the latent stupidity of propping up a host of economic migrants from Lame-Duck economies across Europe. Nor is it our place to substantially contribute to a corrupt system of disbursing subsidies to those EU Leaders promoting the emergence of a Federal Superstate that may not after all their Hubris ever have wings of its own.

So do we standby while Criminal Gangs from Eastern Europe pile in, across open borders to rob us blind till we’re all skint and the Eurocrats of Brussels have dragged us down to their level. On the back of the pernicious degradation only they are capable of.

It's time to get real with the mess our Bankers and Political Masters of the Universe have created for the Common Brit. It is a diabolical mess which they together with the antipathy of almost sixty percent of the electorate regard our system of Democracy.

Its time for change and not the kind of change that promotes minority interests to think they can punch above their weight. When they’re purely motivating a certain section of the populace on the back of dissatisfaction, rather then promoting Freedom, Choice and Opportunity which should be the mantra of the mainstream parties. Should they begin to think further than the end of their collective nose and free the people, rather than try to suppress them with a police and client state, of epic proportion.

So Come-on you Tories get your act together on behalf of the Common Good for all the people of these 6,000 + islands that comprise our United Kingdom. In the words of that great statesman William Ewart Gladstone: “Let the money fructify in the pockets of the people.” Or am I correct in assuming that 'Damian' is the off-spring of the Devil?

How often in a lifetime can we get it so horribly wrong?

By tomtom

Then fail to see the wood for trees

(A Tom Stack New Year Message)

Everybody and his dog is doing it so why not me? 

Mostly it’s due to the infighting as a power grab becomes the only game in town. Then we get a wimp followed by a bunch of social climbers out to create their nirvana with a police state and identity cards.

  There should be somekind of minimum qualification for an MP other than joining a political party and keeping your nose clean. But with the country more or less divided between left and right with a few in-betweeners, what hope is there that we’ll ever get it right?

  All it takes is a few percent to swing it either way, but when a party gets elected in a landslide with fewer votes than the winning party got in the previous election. There has to be something fundamentally wrong with the system per se.

  Look, all we want is for the country to prosper so we can all enjoy a good life and do a bit of Getting-on. But these days it’s like a latter day version of St Wilibrod’s March. Only this time its two steps forward, then three steps backwards.

  Can you believe the timing of a chancellor, claiming to have ended boom and bust when anyone with an ounce of cokum, could see the biggest bust in history on the horizon. Heading our way faster than a speeding bullet.

  Maybe we don’t know what we’ve got till we get it and meanwhile for a generation now on the ropes, it’s still on its way. Surely it’s not beyond the wit of all these educated superstars, with more letters after their name than populate the alphabet. To sit down and work out what we need to do as a nation to prosper.

   With half the world beating a path to our doorstep for handouts they couldn’t get anywhere else, surely there has to be a limit to our largesse even if it does revolve around creating money out of thin air. It most likely doesn’t have to be this way and there must be enough examples in the world of why not.
 
  In 1997 we stood on the threshold of a Golden Age, till a landslide of epic proportions chucked it all away on bonfire of hubris. We need a return to commonsense values, for there is no bounty to be had in everlasting growth. It ignores the natural laws of supply and demand.

  So till we realise this and get to grips with the fundamentals, I guess there’s nothing else for it, but to carry on like this. It’s swings and roundabouts, till we’re all gobbled up on the altar of diminishing returns. It’s being so cheerful, as keeps me going.

Prosperity for all in the New Year, so we can all be miserable in comfort.

Most voters 'now want Britain to leave EU'

You'd better believe it  

Most people now want Britain to leave the EU, according to figures, in a Guardian/ICM poll, which showed 51% would vote to take Britain out of the European Union, against 40% who wanted to stay in and can you beleive  9% couldn’t give a fig?

  A poll is released that indicates a hardening in Eurosceptic sentiment among the public, as Nick Clegg warns David Cameron not to back out of Europe and dismissed plans for a referendum on the country’s membership of the EU as “putting the cart before the horse”. That's probably where the Lib-Dem cart has been, since the demise of William Ewart Gladstone the true Liberal stalwart who put country before party or political expediency and personal ambition.

  But can you really believe that 40% want to continue with this idiotic attempt to create a Federal Superstate dictating to the teeming masses of Perfidious Albion, how they should live their daily lives in jeopardy of Euro Dictats? Dictats which have no provenance in democratic accountability, as presaged by a ridiculous system of proportional representation geared to ensure the supreme powers of unelected Commissars attuned to a Union of European Socialist Republics a (UESR) While Gulags, Secret Police and Kangaroo Courts, go unchallenged.

  Surely it’s time to end all this nonsense and the continuous bleating of the UK’s Lib-Dem nonentities, like Nick Clegg. Who presumably will be air-brushed out at the next General Election as we hope and pray that only Lib-Dems will be suckered by the dubious attentions of the ghoulish UK Independence Party’s - ‘One Trick Pony’.

Referendum and out Now! You know it makes sense.

Is the Western World on a rollercoaster to nowhere in particular?

Quite surely it is if the apparatchiks of the EU remain unfettered

Though the International Monetary Fund in a recent report believes the developing world is fast catching up with the developed world, the overall impression is that it slightly hampered by recession across Europe, the USA and Great Britain. After centuries of progress and the transfer of western technology to the third world, in pursuit of profit margins, it is apparently of little concern to the transferees of western production lines to China and beyond that in the end it must be limited by the ‘Law of Diminishing Returns’.

After WWII it was Japan playing catch up and Germany rebuilding that the new factories and production facilities should inevitably have an advantage in export markets as the latest machinery and production techniques were incorporated. So a period ensued where both Germany and Japan were able to build worldwide export markets, with the tremendous advantages, bestowed by this progress.

But the fact that globalisation is all about equalisation is beyond question, though if the limit of transfer is the pursuit of profit we will undoubtedly arrive at a point where this transfer of production techniques becomes self-defeating. So the obvious question then is can the west survive intact as a service sector?

We see the answer to this, in the efforts being made to shift the balance of power in this respect by the attempts from Brussels and the USA to master in financial services. Even tiny Sweden attempted to get in on the act, when it audaciously entered a bid to takeover the London Stock Exchange.

Then the New York Stock Exchange ventured east as did the NASDAQ, though in the end they only managed to pick up the dregs, in Paris and Bonn. The reason for all this manoeuvring, is probably that it suddenly dawned on these entities that the ‘City’ of London had become the Clearing Bank for the World and for as long as that remains the case for the UK, the rest of the world can be our workshop.

The real answer to that one however will await the way things pan out, though in reality it probably depends on supply and demand curves. There has to be a point though, where the demand for the latest technology is sated somewhat by the ever rising prices at the hands of the Fractional Reserve Bankers and the ten percent year on years demands of the investment houses that drive this financial sector. Maybe they reckon they can go on, year on year constantly driving up prices to satisfy this element of the equation.

But once again this relies on supply and demand and history dictates that as in the past a flushing out of the system has to occur. This happened on many occasions in history. In fact as recently as the 1700s, when Sir Isaac Newton as Master of the Royal Mint in the days before decimalisation of the currency, had wanted to set the price of a Golden Guinea at - £1-0s-10½d, but was overruled by parliament. They decided in their wisdom to make it £1-1s-0d. This altered ratio of the gold to silver price and allowed British merchants to transfer almost the entire inventory of continental gold to Britain

At some moment in time parliamentary government must wake up to the fact that it cannot forever, go on issuing interest bearing debt and allowing the lending banks to create money out of thin air. In addition to which, the writing-off of debt destroys credit. The very thing they claim we need to revive the economy.

Ergo - The ‘Law of Diminishing Returns’ - The first choc ice is ace, but by the time you get through the third or fourth, it’s yuck!
