      Undoubtedly we’re in such a godawful situation in this country thanks to Brown and his bastard party…

      BUT, why weren’t the other parties screaming the house down over the years as the mother of all clusterfucked-up economies was created?

      They, along with the BBC and rest of the MSM, with very few exceptions, are complicit in Brown’s legacy.

          You are bang on the money sir!

          They want to see a short bounce from this speech, theoritically everyone will be on a high during christmas and won’t have to face up to the reality of paying it off just yet.

          Factor the feel good factor plus labour a few points behind the tories they will take the gamble as it is the best hand of cards they will be dealt.

          If they hold on any longer, we will lose the AAA, IMF will come knocking, riots will happen all on their watch it will finish their political credibility forever.

            There will not be riots. when’s the last time the British people rioted over something? Mrs T and the poll tax? Brown is obviously not as bad as her so the poeple don’t riot!

          • Steve Expat says:

            The difference is that the people fucked off by this government are generally the educated who can see through the charades and the lies. Those with time on their hands are generally law abiding and wouldn’t want to riot – lest they be accused of being terr’ists.

            The working class hatred of Thatcher was a different story.

            I’m inclined to go with February, with the election called just as everyone returns from a happy Christmas, but before the credit card bills need to be paid and hopefully before the IMF come knocking..

            Liebour have very little money left to fight the campaign – like party, like country it seems…

          • Zacaroo says:

            I concur with the opinion that there will be no riots. But if Cameron gets in then I predict riots within two years.

            Zacaroo, undoubtedly so – as the lazy fuckers get told they can’t live forever and have the working part of the population pay the bill for them!!

      I mean, CUTTING taxes for bingo players? What do those people do to deserve being placed ahead of all the other sectors of society who are taking a severe kicking?

      What special case can be made for increasing public spending when we are facing 200Bn of public sector debt this year?

        “”

        Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement.
        The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% next January from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.
        The suicide bombers’ union, the British Organisation of Occupational Martyrs (or B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, “Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of jihad. We don’t ask for much in return but to be treated like this by management is a kick in the teeth.”
        Mr Amir accepted the limited availability of virgins but pointed out that the cutbacks were expected to be borne entirely by the workforce and not by management. “Last Christmas Abu Hamza alone was awarded an annual bonus of 250,000 virgins,” complains Amir. “And you can be sure they’ll all be pretty ones too. How can Al Qaeda afford that for members of the management but not 72 for the people who do the real work?”
        Speaking from the shed in the West Midlands where he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained,
        “We sympathise with our workers’ concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day jihad, in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It’s a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don’t like cutting wages but I’d hate to have to tell 3,000 of my staff that they won’t be able to blow themselves up.” He defended management bonuses by claiming these were necessary to attract good fanatical clerics. “How am I supposed to attract the best people if I can’t compete with the private sector?” asked Mr. Bin-Laden.
        Talks broke down this morning after management’s last-ditch proposal of a virgin-sharing scheme was rejected outright after a failure to agree on orifice allocation quotas. One virgin, who refused to be named, was quoted as saying “I’ll be buggered if I’m agreeing to anything like that……..it’s too much of a mouthful to swallow”.
        Unless some sort of agreement is reached over the weekend, suicide bombers will down explosives at midday on Monday. Most branches are supporting the strike. Only the North London branch, which has a different union, is likely to continue working. However, some members of that branch will only be using waist-down explosives in order to express solidarity with their striking brethren

    Unlike other gambling companies, bingo operators pay both 15pc gross profits tax and 15pc VAT. Betting shop, casino and football pools operators pay no VAT. The sole exception is the VAT payable on poker in casinos, but those games do not attract betting duty.

          Proof? anywhere. Flat-earth idiot

          • Anonymous says:

            Tuvalu is a set of Atolls. It has been sinking for years. It is made of a big mound of coral that compacts and sits on top of a ex-volcano.

            The reason it is so low lying is that it is formed by the sea. Each time there is a storm the seas wash over the edges of the coral platform a new lot of coral. This has been happening for many many years. That is why there is a windward side and a leeward side to a Atoll and why the highest ground is around the edge.

            So what will happen if the sea level rises? The first storm will add back the necessary coral.

            Only one problem the LOCALS have built concrete and tarmac roads around the edges of the islands. They have built tarmac runways and compacted the underlying coral. They have built hotels and houses and numerous other fixed structures.

            The issue is the new coral can not “stick” or “velcro” itself to the old layers and gets brushed or blown off. So the island is doomed anyway, even if the sea does not rise. That is why they already have a problem, yet the high tide sea levels have been falling for the last 5 years or more (Natural planet/moon cycles)

      Met Office claim of the worst 10 years since 1860 has been used to show the quality (NOT) of the CRU fudged data.

      They claim the worst decade since records began in 1860.

      Only one problem there is no site record for the UK that covers from 1860 to the present day. There are only 4 sites that cover from 1890 to today but none of them are in England or Wales. Also each of the 4 UK sites are all on the coast. Since coastal towns have mild water dependant temperatures they do not represent the actual UK land mass. There are even no neighbour sites that can be reasonably approximated.

      So for the country that was probably leading the world in industry and technology in the 1800s we seem to have a shortage of sites that are actually viable for long term reference. So how good is the rest of the world at measuring temperatures before 1900?

    Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown has made a speech outlining plans for more efficient and smarter government.

    Gordon Brown said that power must shift to users of public services and set out measures including cutting the senior civil service pay bill by 20 per cent, halving government spending on consultants, merging or abolishing 123 government arms length bodies – with greater oversight for the remainder – and relocation of more staff outside London and the South East.

    At a time when budgets are tighter, we must be relentless in finding new ways to save money to protect front line services. Today’s announcements show that Labour are willing to take the tough decisions needed.

    Labour Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, said:

    “As the country emerges from recession, taxpayers want more than ever to see their contributions used in the same way they manage their own finances: by getting maximum value for money. When money is tight, families look at what they need, tighten their belts and put off those things they can do without. And government will do the same.

    “Before 1997 successive governments skimped on the investment that our public services depend on, and became complacent about the quality of the services they provided to the public. Since then, this historic under-investment has been corrected and what were once seen as ambitious goals are increasingly seen as the norm…For example, today if you need to see a consultant as an out-patient your wait for treatment is on average just over 4 weeks. In 1997 it was over 13 weeks.

    “The proposals we are setting out in this plan – which is just one element of our plan to reduce the deficit – will go further than we have ever gone before in streamlining central government. We have already promised savings of £35 billion a year by 2011 on top of the £26.5bn a year already delivered through the Gershon review. But by identifying new ways of working – and being prepared to make the tough choices – we can deliver in excess of another £12bn in efficiency savings over the next four years. This includes £3bn of new efficiency savings identified since the Budget”

      Mr Ned says:

      One small problem with that, labour have NEVER given value for money. That is why GP’s now cost us twice the money for far less service. I used to be able to get a doctor to come out to visit me on the day I was ill.

      Now I have to know in advance that I will be ill and book inside 48 hours to travel to the surgery. Consequently I have been ill several times and not been able to see a doctor until I was better.

      I got better NHS treatment under the tories. I am NOT saying that the whole NHS is worse now than then, but we do pay far more for it, and many parts of it are worse, we still have the worst cancer rates in Europe, and we do NOT get value for money.

      Obviously some parts of the NHS have improved. With massively increased funding and improving technology and advancing medical breakthroughs it SHOULD be a lot better than it was. In fact it should be more than twice as good as it was, across the board. But it’s not! Not even close!

      We definitely get a worse service per pound spent on it that we did under the tories.

      Certainly the service I, and many people I know, have received from the NHS is significantly worse now, than a few years ago. Fewer services available, from breast cancer screening, which used to be at the local general hospital, and now it is at a hospital 50 miles away and takes over an hour by car to get to.

      The E.N.T clinic used to be daily and is now once every two weeks!

      HOW THE FUCK is that value for money?

    David Cameron’s £5,000-a-toff bash at Blenheim Palace

    Source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/12/06/david-cameron-s-5-000-a-toff-bash-at-blenheim-palace-115875-21876015/

    David Cameron staged a £5,000-a-head Tory fundraising bash in the sumptuous surroundings of Blenheim Palace.

    The disclosure will come as a major embarrassment to the Tory leader, who spent last week trying to shake off accusations he wants to run ­Britain with his Eton school chums.

    He was star turn at the glitzy party, which raised up to £1million for the Party’s ­election war-chest.

    More than 150 supporters attended the event at Blenheim, the ­Oxfordshire home of the Duke and Duchess of Marl­borough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

    A source said: “You’d never think there was a recession on. The food and ­entertainment were amazing. There wasn’t much economic gloom around.”

    Last night Labour MP Steve Pound said: “I’m sure David Cameron raised a princely sum. Doubtless, he will claim ­Blenheim is now the ­People’s Palace. But I wonder if there was anyone else on the guest list apart from dukes and duchesses?”

    A senior Labour source added: “Yet again we see David Cameron and his high-rolling Eton chums enjoying themselves while others suffer. It’s a world away from the Britain he would like to ­represent.”

          • Labour is developing a modern, efficient, sustainable transport network in Britain, which balances the needs of the economy, the environment and individuals. This is backed by long-term planning, sustained long-term funding, and improved transport management.

            For the first time in over half a century, there is a fully funded plan for rail which will allow for double today’s level of passengers and freight over the next 30 years. We are giving local authorities more powers to ensure that local transport meets the needs of local people, ensuring quality bus services and tackling congestion. And in addition, since April 2008, 11 million older and eligible disabled people have been entitled to free off-peak bus travel anywhere in England.

            Britain is the first country in the world to have a target to limit aviation emissions. Much of the proposed expansion at Heathrow will only be allowed to go ahead on the condition that air quality noise and carbon emissions reductions are on track – the government will act on the advice of the Committee on Climate Change.

    40bn less economic activity results in only a 3bn quid shortfall in his deficit. No fucking way.

    Kevin “Arse Bandit” Maguire

    “A LABOUR MP I know once found himself, unexpectedly, in Peter Mandelson’s Hartlepool home.

    Availing himself of our man in Brussels’ bathroom, the MP noticed five brushes lined up next to the sink – and couldn’t resist peeing on them all before giving the bunch a good shake and popping them back in the holder.

    I was sworn to secrecy so cannot reveal the prankster’s name. The European commissioner remains close to Tony Blair, who would take a dim view.”

        It is a PBR for Labour but not for us.

        I have finally thrown in the towel and taken an expat job. My tax will no longer fund this lunacy.

    Darling unveils Government-scrappage scheme

    Under the scheme, due to begin in June, households may trade in their rusty, inefficient Governments that are over 10 years old, and receive a big tax break for doing so. In order to qualify, consumers must replace it with a nice, low-cost, shiny new Government. A spokesman for the National Consumer Council criticised the proposals on the grounds that there are not enough new Governments on the market that meet reasonable efficiency targets.

    • 302
      Mr Plum says:

      Read the small print.

      Unfortunately your new shiny government will have a fraction of the power of the old government due to new European regulations.
      All the benefits of the new cheaper to run government will be outweighed by having to buy top up powers from abroad.

      Make sure that they all understand that the world has not always been like this and that they are just unlucky to be in a financial sow’s ear that Gordon Fucking Brown made out of a silk purse.

      Make sure they understand that they must never allow another Communist, dictator, unelected, lunatic have any power over anything more responsible than cleaning a public lavatory.

      I wanted to rip his fucking lungs out this afternoon, sitting their smirking in the HoC, as if he was being proven right. Only in his own ‘mind’ which is wildly deranged. Pure lunatic evil. He will spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder – if he does not, one of us will get him!

      There were clues in Darling’s address today about property prices. I am now convinced that Brown is waiting for a property price bubble to rescue him. I am also convinced that that is the real reason for the crazy immigration rates – to drive up demand for houses, to inflate the economy, for him to spend wildly, knowing that it will all burst again and some responsible adults will have to pick up the tab.

      They say only an outright French nationalist like De Gaulle could have given Algeria independence without tearing France apart. That was the opportunity Brown/Darling passed up this afternoon.

      Nobody but a Labour/socialist government could have told the truth to the public sector without another reprise of the 1970s/1980s. But BRown doesn’t give a shit how hard he makes it for the Tories or for 60 million people. It’s all about power.

      Continuing to pretend that there is no problem and that we can continue to fund one million extra box-tickers, bedwetters and bastards employed at enormous expense since 2001 without any significant cuts or tax-rises is pure nastiness. I wouldn’t care if Brown blamed the yanks and the banks and then used them as an excuse to actually make some ‘tough choices’ and ‘do the right thing’. But he wants to pretend that he’s not responsible for his economic clusterfuck and then go an and compound it with more fuckwittery.

      He’s already got his scapegoats in position for the economic catastrophe and he still lacks the courage to use them as an excuse to make good on his earlier misjudgments. But does he take the opportunity? Fuck no. He’s all about poisoning the incoming Tory government. Passing legislation to commit them to halving the budget by 2014 or whenever.

      Just so that he can attempt to reduce the Tory majority and shriek with faux concern about the ‘unnecessary’ cuts the Tories will be making. What a nasty, nasty bastard.

      What a fucking arsehole. What an evil fucking arsehole.

      Imagine if the Tories had put into law before losing power in 1997 that no future government could run deficits of oooooooh, I dunno, say 8%. Or total debt more than oooooooh, say 50% of GDP.

      And Darling has gone ‘bush’ with the fucking Labour lies too. 178bn deficit.

    It looks clever for now in a dull sort of way , Cw is cross at the last 2 years being wasted , wich if the ruin had got his finger out would have been meant better times ahead by now . “This budget from a position of strength” dont make me laugh , if youve had to revise contaction fig by 25% downwards since march , why should we think everything else is 25% wrong .

    £400mn gov borrowing in 2 years , unemployment still not peaked by end of 2010 , clapped out boiler scheme , 0.5p extra take on every pound over 20k , and bounus tax already in legal definition trouble .Why can stepehen timms not give any figures , since when do goverments not give figures when requested to do which they collect !!!

    Its wrong , its unexplained and unreasoned , its balm and sticking plaster for a dangerous mortal financial wound , its like having laurel and hardy attend medical care to you after a life threatening armed robbery injury , only without the laughs .
