        The government should engineer and tolerate a burst of high inflation over the next few years in order to reduce the real value of Britain’s debt mountain and bail out mortgage borrowers in negative equity.

            Listen, I sold your Gold after telling the world I was going to do so. That way I stuck to my principles of wealth distribution. Now I am going to sell the silver. I shall get lots of money from these sales that I will distribute fairly…each to his needs. As you own these assets, it really is fair that you get some of the proceeds, so here goes……its £1 for you, and £12,415 for me….
            and its £1 for you, and £12,415 for me….

          Engineer says:

          No, Master Baiter, they should not. High inflation hurts the most vulnerable in society – the old. People who have saved for their old age, and are living off their savings, are hurt by the devaluing of those savings.

          So are all the other people who have practiced genuine prudence. Savers, those trying to build a pension pot, those who have avoided debt.

          Inflation is evil. Those of us who have lived through times of high inflation do not wish to do so again.

          • Atlas shrugged says:

            My dear chap, when did what you wish for, and what you always end up getting, have any more then an accidental relationship with each other?

            My advice is to forget any idea you ever had for a dignified retirement, it an’t going to be allowed to happen if the establishment can possibly help it. Retired slaves cost money and produce nothing. You did not seriously believe the establishment were going to allow their planet to be run for the benefit of the slaves in stead of the slave-owners, did you?

            Oh dear, more fool you. Oh well if it helps, here is the good news.

            It is better they force you work until you die a half natural death. Because the alternative they very much have in mind, and have used in the past, is much worse.

          • Engineer says:

            You’re a cheery chap, aren’t you?

            Are you going to vote for a government that may allow inflation to increase, or one that says it wants to keep inflation low?

          • Brown's a Tosser says:

            Sorry anyone who thinks we have not already got high inflation is deluding themselves. Checkout utility prices over the last three years the percentage increase is above unbelieveable but of course there is NO INFLATION checkout food prices at the local Tesco and Asda and tell you do not see price increases. Government figures are fudged full stop.

          Yeah you and your public sector Hoons would love that wouldn’t you? With your index- linked pensions, your salaries would soar. Back in the real world (you know, the one that funds it all) there’d be pensioners on fixed incomes choosing between eating or heating or just packing it in and booking a one-way RyanAir to Switzerland.

          Why SHOULD people who’ve saved and scrimped all their lives bail out selfish greedy shopaholics who’ve belatedly discovered they can’t pay their mortgage anymore? Boy are you and your Marxist ilk in for a shock and not before time!

          Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear says:

          Try it and the international markets will destroy Britain over a weekend. I am old enough to both remember and understand what can happen.

          Unless you want the chaos and the suffering it brings through not being master of events. It would destroy a whole generation.

          There is another way to achieve the greater good (50 billion saving per annum) to stabilize the economy and then work for growth (7 to 10 years). The wealth creating private sector is taking the hit now. The time has come for the public sector to share the pain. circa 500,000 jobs have to go. They could have been afforded (just about while the Labour dergulated ponzi scheme operated) but not now.

          Whoever wins the election will have to do it Labour or Conservative. There is no other option.

          Tin Cunliffe-Arsely says:

          Baiter.

          You are too young to remember inflation. Not even to the extent that tins of beans in Morrisons had about three price stickers on them. (Yes. in the late 80s they had corner-shop-style tickets on everything)

          You probably have never had any sort of savings.
          Inflation and devaluation is a tax on people with savings.

          The worst effect is on those with modest savings. ie core/ex Labour voters.

        Umm, no. If Brown was crap at his own finances then he would, like England and Wales, be facing bankruptcy. All he’s done is to invent a new offshore haven for banking – its called Scotland and its where he takes all the English and Welsh tax payments and pensions and store them in “failed” banks like RBS and HBoS.

        As for their expenses if any MP admits to any expense “oversight” then the commissioners should instantly request a far deeper investigation into that politicians claims. One of the oldest rules of criminal investigation is that when a fraudster admits to stealing something then you know that he is only admitting that in the hope that further crimes will not be investigated.

            fuck off ivor, we’ve just experienced 30 unbroken years of the implementation of conservative policy on this country and look at the fucking mess we are in (regardless of brown’s spending binges on wasteful parts of the economy).
            so anyone who says more tory policy is the answer is clearly insane.
            if we are being honest, all the parties are shit.
            even UKIP, they are only useful for one thing: defeating the euronazis.
            as soon as they have done that you can throw them in the fucking skip as far as I am concerned.
            all parties are shit. they are like a cancer that grows and grows until it kills the patient yet all the time it is poisoning its victim the parties whisper in the patient’s ear that they are curing them, that only they can help them recover, it’s just sick really, it is black magic satanist shit.
            the truth is that our corrupt politicians are as thick as thieves and that the dominance of party politics has been highly damaging to our democracy and so we need a change before the elective dictatorship of party politics takes full control of our democracy.
            that day is fast approaching: perhaps it is already here.
            vote independent, be independent.

      It is time to remind ourselves of his Sister In Laws defence published in the Guardian;

      http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/may/10/gordon-brown-cleaner-mps-expenses

      “In the days when my brother-in-law, Gordon Brown, was a brilliant but ­extremely busy bachelor, my husband, Andrew, and I would try to keep a bit of an eye on him on the domestic front. It wasn’t his first priority, but Gordon was already the sort of guy who might have to change shirts twice in a day and who would have streams of people trudging through his flat, usually leaving dirty mugs and takeaway cartons in their wake. He definitely needed a cleaner when in London, and it was part of his expenses entitlement.

      I, meanwhile, was a full-time TV reporter with two small kids and relied on a lady who would come in one morning a week to tackle some of the basics. We lived round the corner, she was keen to extend her hours, so we told him we would sort it out. We are a close and supportive family and those were the kinds of things we could take off his plate. Gordon, people might be surprised to hear, given all the stories this week, is extremely scrupulous and conscientious in these matters. So my husband arranged for the cleaner to have a clear contract, paid holidays, NI contributions, regular rises – all the proper entitlements. For years Andrew spent quite a bit of time organising all that until they moved into No 10 and things changed. He would keep Gordon informed about what he owed for his share of the hours the cleaner came and Gordon would reimburse us.

      We thought we were doing him a small service in that way – it seems we weren’t. However, I have wondered how many of those who have insinuated corrupt and illegal behaviour over the past week are quite so correct and punctilious about paying people they might hire to help in their own homes. So, after years of seeing Gordon being attacked in the media, we found ourselves in the firing line. Despite a full Downing Street statement the night before, Andrew was woken up just after 6am on Friday by the doorbell. Within seconds an unannounced person was up the stairs of our building and banging on the door of our flat, demanding answers to questions. Being that he was just in his boxer shorts Andrew didn’t open the door (believe me, the world should be grateful).”

        ‘We found ourselves in the firing line’? No dear, you carefully placed yourself right on the spot, you inane piece of detritus, so don’t be surprised if you get blown away.

        As far as I’m concerned you and Andrew should retire behind your front door – with or with boxer shorts – permanently. And take that monstrous shithead of a brother-in-law with you, stick him the the cellar and nail the fucking door shut.

      Hero of the Beard says:

      In some third world countries where corruption is rife they have a rather neat law. Corruption is notoriusly difficult to prove; invoices and receipts are not usually the norm for backhanders. Also it is not often more subtle – a favourite trick is that a contractor winning a contract from a Ministry will have to employ a consultant or subcontractor (owned by the Minister) who will get 15% of the monthly contractor’s invoice. Indeed there are loads of tricks.

      The law is “Unaccountable Wealth”. It puts the onus back back onto the incredulously wealthy politician to explain the difference betwwen his assets versus his legitimate income. If there is a gap, corruption is presumed.

        • 121
          jgm2 says:

          The punishment for corruption is normally that the elections are rigged even more thoroughly and that there are absolutely no prosecutions for corruption unless it’s to get rid of a political rival.

          • Phil O'Pastree says:

            I’m afraid that is true. Charges are brought and nothing seems to happen. Except that those who bring the charges find themselves wealthier or with a better job.

            To me corruption is the single most compelling reason why abject poverty persists throughout the world. It is why socialism will never work; it is why the European Super State will fail and I am ashamed to see that it is so utterly rife throughout the United Kingdom as well.

          • Phil O'Pastree says:

            To be fair most aid is in the form of credit rather than cash and it is conditional on them spending it on British goods and services. If we didn’t give it then they’d accept someone else’s aid (and therefore their goods and services). It does help exports.

          • jgm2 says:

            Hold on Phil. So effectively we bribe ‘em to buy our products? Yet BAe does that and they’re up before the courts.

          • Axe The Telly Tax says:

            Yes Phil, it helps export our jobs to India

          • Axe The Telly Tax says:

            Surely Phil it only works in our favour if India spends considerably more than a billion a year on British goods. Seeing as we don’t make anything anymore, exactly what British products does India buy?

          • Phil O'Pastree says:

            Consultancy services, often financial!

            It’s a bit like buying a car and getting a cheap loan the same dealer. You wouldn’t get a loan from Renault if you wanted to buy a Toyota with it.

            A analogy with the BAe situation is this. A son comes into a showroom to buy a car on behalf of his father. You can offer him the usual deal. But you go further and suggest that for every car you buy on behalf of his dad you will slip the lad a nice little commission into his own pocket. So the son convinces dad he that he needs not one ecomomy model but ten top of the range models.

            With aid it is a big misconcepton that they send over funds. No chance. The World Bank for example when it approves a project in Africa does so under strict procurement guidelines. But most importantly having supervised the award of contracts to consultants and contractors using “transparent” procedures, all payments are made out of the US. The French contractor working in Gabon sends his monthly progress invoice to Washington not Libreville. It’s a reasonably foolproof system.= in theory.

            Where the corruption really comes into its own is it when is time to repay the loan. The completed facilities do generate income but that income usually fails to make its way back to service the debt. And the despots who syphon this off plead poverty.

    We think that the fat slapper former home sec and her pervy hubby ought to be put in a special home.

    We think we all should be able to lie to anyone who ostensibly has power over us without recrimination.

    In short, we believe that we should be able to do what the fuck we like, pollute as much as we like, be as un-green as we like, pay as little tax as we like, break as many laws as we like, employ illegal immigrants, lie to any government body and in general , live the life of a politician.

    For fuck’s sake, aren’t these socialists we’ve been ruled by?

      Yes he has. There was interview on Radio Five this morning, Nicky Cambell I think with Fraser Nelson, some Conservative holier-than-you PPC and some other bloke.

      They were on about Brown’s expenses.

      The ‘interviewer’ led Fraser Nelson with ‘Of course there is no suggestion that he Prime Ministerhas his hand in the till…..’

      He doesn’t need his hand in the till. He’s just spent a decade rigging the entire fucking economy so that him and all his Labour cabinet mates and the Dear Ex-Leader can build up fucking massive property portfolios.

      It wasn’t pure incompetence. It was self-serving, reckless naked greed that fucked the UK. Our own governments naked greed on behalf of – themselves.

      good question.
      the reason gordon brown’s over claim is defined as an error is because the establishment, despite operating in in full view of the public, are blatantly and partisanly misusing parliamentary process to try to cover up the fact that
      THE PRIME MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN IS A THIEVING MOTHERFUCKER!

      There’s plenty more. The flat was bought at undervalue via a Mr G Robinson from the bankrupted Maxwell estate. The mortgage interest was covered by the taxpayer who also kept it clean even when it was unoccupied (McDoom being the proud resident of a nice flat in Downing Street for some years you will recall). Just before the shite started hitting the proverbial it was paid off and transferred to a nice Mrs S McDoom who promptly mortgaged it to the hilt despite having no income (via one of our friendly banks) and used the cash to buy lots of new woolies. Or so they say.

      By the way, to help you on the numbers involved, the flat (that taxpayers helped buy and clean) was worth £700,000. So we are not talking peanuts.

        The point of big gummint is to ensure that we are all beholden. No one in the north east or Scotland or Wales can feel easy voting against big gummint. It is the state which fuels those economies.

        When you can be on £60K pa and receiving state benefits it is clear that big gummint is after ensnaring you. And if you are unfortunate or just crap and your big private sector job goes AWOL then big gummint, via the pages of The Grauniad, can give you another big and well paid job. Innit.
