Stat Porn 2009 : Who Read Guido

2009 was the break-through year for this blog, traffic averaged out at some 2 million page views a month from 1,807,954 visitors according to Guido’s server analytics. Think you can guess the most popular story of the year?

Wrong.  It was the Letter to Miliband, a post from 2007.

After the search engines, the biggest source of traffic referral remains Iain Dale, he sent an average of 50,000 visitors a month Guido’s way, more than twice as much as the next biggest referrer; The Spectator, with PoliticsHome, the BBC and PoliticalBetting.com making up the rest of the top 5.  Guido’s own Twitter feed and the weekly Guidogram email were in the top 10 referrers along with the Telegraph, Guardian and Times.

The largest identifiable portion of readers come from Parliament’s servers – not surprising when over a quarter of MPs surveyed admit to being readers – the rest must be lying.

If your office blocks access to this blog (much of Whitehall does) email Guido for ideas on how to circumvent Big Brother.  Something that is noticeable is the huge increase in access to the blog from mobiles.  Guido is considering developing custom apps for iPhones and Blackberries. What functionality would users want to see?

    I wonder if the comments on here have anything to do with all those MPs standing down, now that they know just how hated they are and how incompetent we consider them.

          • Mr Ned says:

            Sadly, I am sorry to dissapoint those readers who are looking forward to seeing a dismantling of this growing police state after labour are kicked out of power. The fact is that the tories will only remove the innefficient aspects of the police state on the false grounds of “civil liberty”. In reality they will adhere to the EU’s implementation of the police state that newlabour have been so gracious in testing in a live environment.

            The EU are pushing the biometric ID card, and Lisbon has loopholes in their much hyped human rights laws to allow the removal of all rights from anyone.

            The only way to defeat the totalitarian fascist dictatorship being implemented here is to vote UKIP into power.

            Replacing labour with the tories is like stopping feeding peanuts to someone with a nut allergy and feeding them Brazil nuts instead!

          • not so sure UKIP is the answer says:

            Ned UKIP I believe are a state op, with some good people who have been duped, it was never meant to take power but just divert traffic down a dead end.

            Yes it has a chance if the people back it in high enough numbers and the people in UKIP push its policy through.

            However what is UKIPs policy on fiat money and the banking system?

            We could find that even if UKIP pulled us out of europe due to popular demand we could still find ourselfs up shit creek due to a private corrupt banking system that keeps us as slaves. I need to see ukips banking policy in detail and also who will control our utilities – foriegn elite corps who could hold us hostage, which is why the goverment including Maggie has been so keen to undermine this countries self sufficiency.

            It is deliberate, and the EU will use food and energy and arms to terrorise us should we leave – lovely caring people that they are!

            Think of Stalin starving millions and you will get the picture!

            This is why we need to get out now while we still can and expose the corrupt elites as we leave in the hope of starting a catalist in other countries, protecting the freedom of the internet is key – i dont expect it to last long under dave.

            I think we need more balance than just UKIP, I think the BMP also need a foot in the door to keep UKIP from going awol.

            I don’t trust the new peer lord leader and the way Nigel surrendered his leadership.

            seems rather fishy to me.

          • not so sure UKIP is the answer says:

            Still I personally think the change will come from the USA not Europe.

            The elites are doing to the USA what they did in Europe, slice by slice, after getting away with so much in Europe the elites are getting cocky and impatient.

            The American people are however a different breed, they have a solid constitution they believe in and they are waking up to the globalists sick plans, they also have the ability to defend themselfs.

            The USA is getting to the point where the staw is about to break the camels back, they are just waiting for that straw and there are several on their way.

            That will lead to the USA gaining freedom from the royal/banking cartel, hopefully it will then spread through Europe, though i half expect the police state to be rushed in to communist Europe at a rate of knots as they retreat AGAIN from the USA.

            Though with a free and powerful USA how long will the EUSSR last?

            expect a wall to go up in europe!

          • Mr Ned says:

            Notsure, in response, I think that you may be correct. Perhaps I should say that the only chance that exists of avoiding a totalitarian police state via peaceful democratic means, is to vote in a UKIP Government. Though no guarantee, it is still the only shot we have.

            Tory, Labour and Liberal are all part of the problem. Are UKIP really an establishment puppet established to mop up votes that defect from the tories? Maybe, but from what policies they support on everything from the EU to climate change, I agree with them.

            As for fractional reserve banking, well, one step at a time. Get us out of the EU first then establish honest subservient banking.

          • Carry On Don't Lose Your Head (1967) says:

            Mr Ned, a Tory government is the essential first step to reassert our primacy over the troughers, ‘nothing-to-hide’-coppers and corrupt bankers: but first, we have to destroy Labour.

            I suggest we give the Tories a fair crack – say 30 days – then if it is clear they are not going to deliver we go about destroying them too. Dave’s time as PM could be short lived. John Redwood and Dan Hannan will be waiting, and the one thing you can be sure of, they ain’t Bilderbergers.

            very good! now do you have a point to make based on facts or theory raher than name calling? and you call any free thinker with a wider view of politics a nutter?

            now lets take a look at farage and the lord.

            farage steps down claiming he wants to concentrait on the bercow seat.

            this sounds about as convincing as mps who step down to `spend more time with the family`.

            it is quite likely that nigel has been nobbled.

            someone has some dirt on him and forced him to stand down.

            nigel was ukips biggest assett and most powerfull speaker who could reach accross the political divide unlike the peer.

            is the peer a nwo stooge?

            i dont know but he has links to a goverment that was riddled with nwo bilderberg stooges – thatchers tories.

            and the peer makes a big thing about islamism etc.

            this new religious/racial agenda is quite at odds with ukips past approach to politics, it seems more of an attempt to steal the cloths of the rising bnp. leaving two parties near identical and fighting for the same area. ukip have stolen almost all the bnps policies over the last few years-is it because of the rise of the bnp or because ukip are a state vote splitter?

            this will cut into the bnp vote but free up the more liberal tory labour vote. they are also standing in barking where griffin is standing which may be enough to keep anti eussr nick out and pro eussr labour in!

            sounds like a vote splitting party to me, especially as he bnp offered to cut a deal with ukip on where each party stands to maximise the anti eu vote-ukip said no and would rather waste money and resources where they have no effect other than splitting the anti eu vote!

          • Stick with the BBC propaganda chanel - do NOT question! says:

            Nigel stepping down to `spend more time with his family`lol

            the first thing the lord did was steal the BMPs cloths.

            looks more like a vote splitting clone party these days.

            Rochdale: First Savage Race Attack of 2010

            A MAN was assaulted by a gang in a brutal race attack.

            The 21-year-old white victim was walking with his girlfriend on Clarkes Lane, Rochdale, when they were approached by a large group of Asian teenagers.

            The group began attacked the couple while shouting vile abuse. Although the 17-year-old girl managed to struggle free, her boyfriend was repeatedly punched and kicked. He suffered a fractured ankle and injuries to his nose and face.

        Jethro Q. Walrus-Titty says:

        Nonsense!- the Fuehrers testicle did not go AWOL-It was donated by our Glorious Russian allies (from the Fuehrers corpse) via 51st Highland Division as a war trophy to a Major Brown (Royal Army Medical Corp) from Dunfermline, Scotland, who was a pioneer Geneticist but selfishly+sucessfully transferred it to his own void sack in a bid to satisfy the nymphomanial Mrs Brown (Queen Victoria no relation)

        Sadly, the resulting fruit of such weird science was our own beloved Fuehrer und former Kanzler,-(following the genetic fathers occupation) Gordon Braun.Unfortunately this unique experiment was not the sucess it first appeared.

        The offspring ended up with a whole series of genetic deficiencies esp in the gonads and brain.
        Psychotic periods developed in puberty and have unfortunately deteriorated resulting in violent mood swings affecting those in the immediate vicinity who often ended up with injuries from projectiles known as V1′s and V2′s that the Fuehrer launced in their target areas, usually the face.

        It was hoped the Pre Frontal lobotomy he underwent would have ameliorated the situation-sadly this does not appear to be the case.Medication proved inadequate and all enquiries as to the Fueherers medication have been pooh poohed

        Nursing care 24/7 has been of some use, but the inevitable retiral later in the New Year would seem to be the most humane outcome for all concerned.

      Mmm, interesting. Certainly demands clear and unquivocal explanation from Darling, Brown and the Treasury bods. I’m used to reading accounts but this set seems full of pseudo-techno babble – always a bad sign, in blinding with science mode, trying to confuse and not illuminate. To report financial adjustments of such financial magnitude without any proper explanatory notes is well iffy.

        Tapestry says:

        Keep digging, Bean Counter. What are the losses on Gordon’s share protfolio accounted for?

        The government admits to spending GBP 620 billion as at the PBR although both you and I suspect the figures due to the way the accounts are presented, with GBP 185 billion of unexplained ‘accounting adjustments’.

        Income by April 2010 is targeted on GBP 440 billion or so according to the projected borrowing, and Darling confirming that the figures in the forecast will be met…which is down by 25% on 2008 (606 billion), no less!!!!!

        If we add back GBP 90 billion of the ‘accounting adjustment’ (half of it) into spending, as we suspect it is a fudging of expenditure into a capital account of some kind, we get to a figure of GBP 710 billion of spend versus GBP 450 billion of income. That would be 20% of GDP not the 12.5% claimed by Darling.

        We need to know what the ‘adjustments’ are and we need to now how the losses in shares are being accounted for and liabilities for the bank’s toxic assets. As the kind of business the government is running has new categories, you would expect new categories to appear in the accounts from previous years.

            This muslim bunch are sabre rattling,they know that they will NOT be allowed to demonstrate in this particular place.

            The English Defence League if you remember came off the back of the muslim demo’s in Luton and it would appear are gaining support.
            Based on this I would imagine Gordo can’t let this happen.

        Mr Ned says:

        I have been following the superb research of Brian Gerrish for about a year now and Common Purpose is an evil organisation that has recruited senior executives from the BBC and senior personnel from local authorities, the police, the NHS, the Home office, Universities, LEA’s, schools, and most areas of British governance, into their mind-control programmes.

        They are a dangerous cancer at the heart of this country and they are working tirelessly to turn the UK into a broken failed state so that their recruits, also known as the “future leaders of the post democratic society” can pick up the pieces and lead the wreckage into the “post democratic” [after democratic, or no-longer democratic, or formerly democratic] age as a compliant part of a post democratic global age. A global fascist dictatorship.

        All fascism is, is a version of communism whereby the losses are still socialised, but the profits are privatised to enrich an elite few.

      First time I had heard of this. Not 100% convinced, but if true this is very scary stuff indeed. I downloaded a list of known members and discovered that no less than three senior staff at my place of work (a small housing association), including the chief exec, are “graduates” of common purpose.

      As the conspiracy theory predicts, these three “graduates” are currently operating a blatantly destructive policy of sabotage against the organisation. Two of the “graduates” clearly fall into the “useful idiot” category and would be easily susceptible to manipulation. The other (the chief exec) is a more intelligent, especially greedy, elitist who is a rabid new labour member.

      Prepare the fancy dress for our Parity Party if sterling falls below the euro..
      Douglas McWilliams chief executive
      centre for economics and business research ltd
      dmcwilliams@cebr.com07525287112
      My reading of the economy post‐PBR is that the UK economy is now walking only 5 yards away fromthe edge of the cliff. An unexpected gust could blow us over.
      The gilts markets gave an unambiguous thumbs down to the PBR with an immediate 30 basis point hike in bond yields. But the real risk to the UK economy probably comes across the exchanges. Familiar to anyone who studied or worked as an economist in the 1960s and 1970s, market confidence in the government’s economic strategy is critical.
      It appears that the markets are betting on David Cameron and hoping that he will slash excessive public spending. Labour’s PBR, which added £6 billion to public spending and continued to assume that an implausible above trendeconomic growth rate post 2010 would bail them out, did not go down well. The markets are giving the UK some slack and giving Brown and Darling the creditof assuming that either they are not telling the truth and willalso cut public spending after the election or that they will be voted out. It is a sad state when the Chancellor’s economic strategy depends on convincing the financial markets that he is a liar!
      What this means that if the opinion polls between now and March 25 or May 6 show the Tory lead dropping well into the single figure zone, they will have kittens and probably start a sterling sell off. Meanwhile the rating agencies, who generally run behind the real world, are looking for an excuse to downgrade the UK government from its AAA rating, following countries like Greece.
      There are far too many variables and far too much uncertainty for us to have a very firm view about what will happen. But opinion polls are volatile (the techies believe that this reflects some of the weighting used to ‘improve’the crude results) and it would be unusual for there not to be at least one wild poll showing Labour doing well, even if the underlying views are different.
      Meanwhile, the euro has also got a potential downside, because to be frank it has not worked. When it was set up, it was assumedthat economic performance between Germany and the rest of Europe would converge. This has not happened –quite the reverse ‐and when Germany is forced to bail out much of the rest of Europe it is hard to see the euro remaining as strong.
      Whether the markets react to the UK’s fragile public finances before they react to the divergence ofperformance in the euro zone will determine whether sterling drops below parity with the euro.
      If I had to bet, I would bet on the side of parity being broken.If it happens, then cebr will schedule a parity party. Reflecting the underlying economic reality, it will be BYOB (for those who were not students once this means Bring YourOwn Booze). The cautious amongst us should probably prepare by buying their skiing cash in advance while the opinion polls still show a strong Tory lead.

Just have the feeling that these Marxists are so out of touch with the real World, that they will try and impose even more ridiculous diktats on the long suffering population. If they had any sense they would just stop and concentrate on getting more donors to fight the Election with spending. they certainly have no sensible policies in the wings.

    Incompetence thy name is Labour says:

    Labour’s 10 Year Economic Boom Evaporated into an Even Bigger Bust

    John Majors Conservative government handed the New Labour government an economic growth machine back in 1997. In the course of the first 2 years of the new government, the Labour party managed to restrain its traditional tendencies of wasting money by sticking to strict limits on government spending. However, following these first two years, the Labour party let rip with a vengeance on the back of North Sea Oil revenues and the Casino Banking Sector profits that ensured that Britain skipped the Dot Com / Sept 11th recession of 2001-2002 that hit many other countries including the United States.

    Unfortunately, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown took this as a sign that they had acquired the Midas touch, and further escalated spending on the public sector. With booming revenues from fictitious profits from the mark to market banking sector (for the purpose of paying huge bonuses), the Labour Government repeatedly broke its own Golden rules of balancing the countries finances over an economic cycle.

    If Labour had stuck to its own rules during the good times as they had repeatedly promised the electorate at each election, then Britain would not now be peering over the financial abyss of an inflationary debt spiral.

    Labour hubris (as posted by Guido above):

    Gordon Brown said

    “What you as the City of London, have done for financial services, we as a government intend to do for the economy as a whole.”

    Mansion House speech, June 2002

    Enough is enough.

We are in a kind of “phoney war” situation where despite the biggest recession in Living memory , for most people, nothing has changed in fact my Mortgage has never been cheaper, drinks all round Recession what recession !

            Funny thing is rfid chips are now used on such things as credit cards and id etc and perhaps soon to be on cars in their pay per mile system.

            Tin foil or other such radio screening methods may be a serious option to protect your privacy!

            reality is much stranger than fiction when you enter a totalitarian communist system!

            As for tin foil hats, well if rfid chips are placed in the body at birth to track and identify you – for your security off course! then it may be a feasable option to have a tin foil lined hat in the near future.

            Then your tin foil hat mantra will look rather foolish, won’t it!

            So in the long run a tin foil hat would be far more use than a dumb ignorant bastard with his head up his own ass while the unelected take total control of your life, with ever increasing methods of track recording and tracing you, eh!

    Man 1 – Wow, how was it.

    Man 2 – Well, on my first day our base was attacked by rocket fire and shrapnel got lodged in my best friends spine, so I used my field medical training to isolate the wound and carefully remove the shrapnel without any nerve damage. He recovered after about 5 months. Then two days later, we were sent into the red zone and came under heavy fire. I managed to take out seven insurgents which led to their withdrawal, meaning we could return home safely with no casualties.

    Man 1 – Oh my God. You’re a hero. I have to buy you a drink, what are you having?

        Believe me, Guido is a popular read in the Civil Service, so I’m surprised the departments and quangos don’t figure in the listing. A very touchy subject though. Some departments have blocked Guido for ‘content policy’ grounds. All a bit pointless though as state funded Blackberries abound.

        Guido’s site has been essential lunchtime reading for the lower orders at ‘the Ministry’ for some time. Seeing the piss being taken out of the overpaid mandarins and crap politicians whose arses they routinely kiss is good for staff morale in these difficult times.

        For some reason, other CS departments just cut out the pictures (or most of them) but let the text through.

    May have already been commented on but anyway.

    I note from the latest Sky News that Brown has now called for a high level International meeting in LONDON in late January to discuss radicalisation in Yemen after the recent plane attack.

    Now let me get this right

    1) The plane left from Amsterdam airport to the USA on an American plane so should not the Americans or the Dutch call for such talks?
    2) Should this not be held in Amsterdam or Detroit not London?
    3) What the fuck has this to do with us other than for Gordon Brown to again to stick his big nose in and again smooch up to Obama for photo ops in an election year just trying to show people thet he is saving the world when he is just being a total and utter prick.

    Remember he tried to get the renewed climate change talks here in London as well but failed. This is all about getting votes and nothing else. Another poster joked a few days agao about the possibility of the man calling for such a meeting but I thought Nah! he would never be so transparent in an election year.

    How wrong I was and how low can this traitorous man go. Obviously a lot lower. Next will be a photo with the released hostage but of course he would never go so low or would he?

        “The President and Secretary of State are physically nauseated by the pathetic way their UK counterparts fawn over them in public. It’s just embarrassing. We’re starting to realise how the Bush administration must have been feeling by the end. We no longer wish to partake in this special-needs relationship.”

        “The USA invites the rest of the G20 (minus Britain, plus Spain) to discuss what we can do collectively about the British Prime Minister.”

    George"The Joker"Osborne says:

    A tourist walked into a Brighton curio/antique shop. After looking around for a while, he noticed a very life-like bronze Statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but it was so striking that he decided to buy it anyway.
    He took it to the owner and said: ‘How much is this bronze rat?’

    The owner replied: ‘It’s £12 for the rat, and £100 for the story.’

    The tourist gave the owner his £12 and said: ‘I’ll just take the rat, You can keep the story.’
    As he walked off down the street, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the sewers and begun following him. This was a little disconcerting, so he started to walk a little faster, but within a couple of blocks the swarm of rats had grown to hundreds, and they were all squealing and screeching in a very menacing way. He increased his speed & ran on towards the beach, and as he ran, he looked behind him and saw the rats now numbered in their MILLIONS, and they were running faster & faster. By now very concerned, he ran down to the pier and threw the bronze Rat far out into the water. Amazingly, the millions of real rats jumped into the water after it and were all drowned.

    The man walked back to relate all this to the shop owner, who said: ‘Ah, you’ve come back for the story then?’

    ‘No,’ said the tourist, ‘I came back to see if you’ve got a bronze Muslim Fundamentalist Cleric, a couple of illegal immigrants, a Poof, a Manchester United supporter, and anything French!’

    Pop over to EUREFERENDUM for a peek into the inner workings of the post democratic order in action.

    We are ruled by fucking gangsters, a spiders web of backhanders,fake charities,tax money funneled and channeled into back pockets via various newlabour regime departments.
    The MSM are by and large silent, the BBC is ignoring this completely, of course the BBC are probably upto the same thing. Its a dirty money merry go round with cash being laundered through fake charities. Newlabour have given us the age of the corrupt state, the EU and newlabour supporting and financing a whole shadow state of corrupt parasite crooks.
    The tragic thing is that the Tories are just as keen on financing this ‘Chicago’ style fraud, their foreign aid policies and commitments are the same as newlabour, they will continue to channel payoff dirty cash to its NWO common purpose allies.

    We are being scammed and bled dry by gangsters/crooks/thieves/common criminals, our taxes are being used to enrich the few via fake think tanks/fake charities/fake NGOs/fake quangos, the parasite class have found a way of laundering tax money into the pockets of their allies so they can lobby that same government to enact more more loopholes and raise more taxes which is then syphoned off in greater quantities.
    The sheer scale of the fraud is very likely gigantic, the whole man made global warming fraud has been a cover for the wholesale looting of the public purse, the foreign aid budget of ten billion pounds is a veritable fucking goldmine for the worlds snake oil scammers/carpet bagging chiselers/extortionists/fraudsters and con artist grifters.

          Of course one could say the Tories are just heading for the center ground for the sake of electibility, but the problem with that argument is that the center ground keeps moving towards a more statist form of government.

    Atlas shrugged says:

    Good morning readers.

    I have just returned from a long holiday with some well considered opinions I would like to share with those that are interested.

    Welcome to what will without doubt turn out to be the darkest decade in our long history of very dark decades.

    If you thought 1060-1070, 1660-1670, or indeed 1910-1920 were bad, then 2010-2020 will make any previously horrendous decade look like a relative casual walk in a sunny park. A decade that will only be exceeded in war, murder, corruption and sadistic evil by 2020-2030, IMO.

    However, you can not say you were not warned, nor can you say you did not have the tools available to help arrest the situation.

    If however the common people somehow decide to actually do something about their unremitting decline into murderous chaos, relative poverty and extremely well planned calamity, I have this heart felt advice to offer.

    Stay sober, sane, sensible, lawful, peaceful, and above all

    DON’T PANIC.

    For if you fail to do so, all hell, in the shape of the largest and most all encompassing police state, the likes of which Stalin could only dream of possessing, will swiftly fall on your being from the greatest heights imaginable.

    We still individually and collectively posses the material, spiritual, and intellectual capabilities to win this 21st century war against the common people. The problem is so very few even know this war is now well under way, and they have little idea who the enemy actually is, or even where it is.

    So therefore let me yet again help you and your family to survive the coming onslaught.

    The enemy is mostly our own establishment, while our establishment is all around us. All the way from the top, to a fair way down the great pyramid of very well established corporate might. However please be reminded that ultimately THEY are a VERY SMALL number indeed, and WE are almost infinitely more numerous, and therefore more powerful then THEM. What is more THEY have always known this to be the case.

          If Labour should be re-elected I predict the markets will go into free-fall, sterling will “tank”, our credit triple A rating will dissolve overnight and the IMF wil be landing at Heathrow to put in the insolvency accountants. The only thing that is avoiding this happening now is the”market” thinks the Tories have a chance of becoining the government later this year and will start to tackle paying down the UK debt whereas with Brown still in charge -things will only get worse

          • Uncle SI says:

            He can do a lot more harm in the next 6 months, most of Europe has been recovering for a while now so in real terms we will be at least 12 months behind the rest, the other day I was trying to work out what NU LAB has achieved with the billions of over spending. Every positive has a very big negative such as NHS shorter waiting lists = MRSA or These great little Health Centres = No NHS Dentists it could be worse you could be one of the 1000′s victims of Iraq or Afghanistan the list is endless. I’m self employed but I funded it and I payed for my training, I also work an average 60 hours a week so have little sympathy for people who have never bothered to work but have lots of sympathy to the folk who have either lost their jobs or have been put on a 3 day week because of the mess NU LAB have thrown us in. Whether the Tories do any better remains to be seen but anything is better than this, there will lots of people who will say the last Tories did a bad job but that again is just tit for tat because there are a lot of similarities between Wilson last 12 months and Callahan’s, one thing is for sure the next 5 years are going to be tough either way.

          He’s gone out of his way to mention a massive programme of decentralization in his first ‘election’ speech today… bodes well.

          Especially on the EUSSR front. Localism and the EU are inimical to each other. I think the strategy is to take the stick until about a week before the election when it’s too late for Labour/Brussels to smear, bribe or spin, then announce how he’ll be standing up to the EU. He’ll get a landslide.

          • A Pensioner says:

            Susie, I think you are wrong. The EU wants “Regions” not “Countries”. It needs to get rid of any last remnants of nationalism.

          • Susie says:

            Exactly, so if you read The Plan, you’ll see that localism is the antithesis of the regional quangos which have been put in place to facilitate the EU power grab. Most of Cameron’s policy announcements over the past have been lifted from The Plan, written by the arch enemies of Brussels, Dan Hannon and Douglas Carswell.

            We’ve all seen the weight of Brussels’ lies and blackmail being brought to bear on Ireland to change their referendum result — Cameron won’t want antagonize them until he’s home and dry. Then watch this space…

          • A Pensioner says:

            I understand the point, but “divide and rule” springs to mind. Regions are what the EU wants – more regions with less power than the former nation states. Localism could be a fig-leaf. And I can’t see how this will avoid Islamic mini-states within the EU.

          This is true- My Mom has always worked and brought up 3 kids but since 1973 she has worked for Birmingham City Council as a care worker for the elderly in their homes. She has never gone off sick apart from the odd day or two for a cold etc so she decides at 60 that she will carry on working as we have all left home and she’s a widow plus the fact the council can’t get experienced carers and so goes part time ,about 24 hrs a week. So each birthday comes around and Council as my mom to stay on, so mom decides to stay on for another 12 months. But at 70 she’s had enough and finally retires so what do you think

    The delusional tone of Gordon Brown’s new year message says it all: “I believe we can create a new decade of prosperity with opportunities fairly shared amongst those who work hard and play by the rules.” Just about every word of this raises questions about his record that he can never answer: GDP has fallen by 5% in the last year, taking us back to 2005; growth in his time was profoundly unfairly shared – over half the population saw virtually no growth at all; GDP per capita is a fraudulent measure that disguises how almost all growth went to the top 10%, and most to the top 1% – while he and Tony Blair did no more than see that the back half didn’t fall too far behind. Middle Britain did badly however hard they worked and “played by the rules”. Whose rules?

        The destination of this very special event is the small market town of Wootton Bassett, located 6 miles Southwest of Swindon, in northern Wiltshire; Wootton Bassett, is currently famous for its public mourning processions held in memory of British soldiers killed whilst on military service in Afghanistan; coffins containing the dismembered bodies of these soldiers are usually draped in union jack flags and driven through the town centre from RAF Lyneham, as a tribute to their ‘sacrifice’.

        The proposed march by members of Islam4UK is however of a very different venture, held not in memory of the occupying and merciless British military, but rather the real war dead who have been shunned by the Western media and general public as they were and continue to be horrifically murdered in the name of Democracy and Freedom – the innocent Muslim men, women and children.

        I have to use them as the CFL will not work at these low temperatures. They have to be available for industrial use. Some designs just blow if they do not strike immediately when very cold (Cold can mean 5C). Otherwise we would have to heat all the sheds in the world to CFL working temperatures. No problem in France but a tad costly up north. But then Global warming was meant to solve the inequality of weather throughout Europe. I am surprised the UK do not get the EU to pay for a few big mirrors in space.

      ESSEX HURRICANE APPEAL
      A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) hit Essex in the early hours of Friday accross Basildon and Billericay. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering “Faaackinell”.

      The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa Del Sol were damaged beyond repair.

      Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. Essex FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Basildon .

      One resident – Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, “It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Trisha the next morning.”

      Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.

      The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland

      Engineer says:

      Tax-take drops from about £600 billion per year before the crisis to about £450 now.

      Not really surprising. The economy became heavily dependent on the financial sector over the last decade, to the tune of about 40% of GDP if memory serves. So when the banking crisis hits, and profits disappear, so do tax revenues from that sector. Add in the assault by the government on high earners with their 50% income tax rate, the windfall tax on bonuses, and uncertainty over the regulatory regime in the future, and bankers are leaving these shores in droves.

      The conclusion is that the tax-take won’t recover to 2007/2008 levels for many years (unlike in 1991/1992), because the financial sector won’t generate the spectacular profits it did pre-crisis. All the more reason to match public spending to revenues sooner rather than later.

          Forgot to add that the slow-down in the property market and subsequent slump in the construction sector didn’t help either, nor did the general slow-down in economic activity in most sectors as the crisis bit world-wide. These sectors will recover, slowly, but finance probably won’t reach it’s previous prominence in this country. That probably explains why our recession is longer and deeper than everybody else’s – they didn’t have the reliance on the financial sector to the same extent that the UK did, and were able to help their economies more than us because they chose not to throw silly money at their banks – or didn’t need to. Suggests that when QE stops, we’ll suddenly find out just how bad the situation is, possibly with a double-dip. Not very cheery. Sorry, all.

        This is just a symptom of Brown’s lying and denial.

        Any revision of revenue forecasts would be an implicit acknowledgement of the blind optimism of output forecasts, which have been bare-faced lies throughout the recession.

        Lying about the future has become the only way Brown is able to deal with the present.

        Once you’ve started lying, you have to just keep on telling more.

        The lies are compounding one-another, making each new one more ambitious and ridiculous. Hence a “decade of prosperity” is now apparently on offer.

It has been apparent for some time that my fellow Tories have been neglecting some of their duties. There is a massive backlog of minions to flog and attendance at the Westminster Necrophiliacs Club (motto: the best Tory is a dead Tory) has been falling by the week. The story that Osborne has been knocking them off to prepare for the annual ball is not credible. We have Anne Milton and she resembles a two week dead corpse.

      They tax the rest of us to the hilt whilst they use every legal means to escape taxation for themselves.

      They claim expenses whilst they make it illegal for the rest of us to do such a thing.

      They impose heavy taxes on our petrol consumption whilst making sure that they have freebie cards to allow them to never pay for a single litre of fuel for their cars.

    Last week, I asked Gordon Brown yet again to withdraw his effusive words of praise for trade unionist Jack Jones in the light of 2009′s revelation that Jones had been a paid Soviet agent for many years.

    And yet again he has refused to do so.

    This is mysterious and I will be looking much deeper into old Labour’s connection with Soviet communism in the weeks to come.”

        Operation Ore was removed from public gaze and quietly killed off because it exposed Senior politicians.

        But Ore started in the USA and the information was used to persuade our Government to “help” the USA.

        Was operation Ore and the politicians it exposed also behind Labour’s decision to break its manifesto pledge on a Lisbon referendum? Which senior politician springs to mind?

    No Rise of Airborne Fraction of Carbon Dioxide in Past 150 Years, New Research Finds
    ScienceDaily (Dec. 31, 2009) — Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. In fact, only about 45 percent of emitted carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere.

    Consensus of scientists regarding global warming
    Carbon cycle
    However, some studies have suggested that the ability of oceans and plants to absorb carbon dioxide recently may have begun to decline and that the airborne fraction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions is therefore beginning to increase.
    Many climate models also assume that the airborne fraction will increase. Because understanding of the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide is important for predicting future climate change, it is essential to have accurate knowledge of whether that fraction is changing or will change as emissions increase.
    To assess whether the airborne fraction is indeed increasing, Wolfgang Knorr of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol reanalyzed available atmospheric carbon dioxide and emissions data since 1850 and considers the uncertainties in the data.
    In contradiction to some recent studies, he finds that the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide has not increased either during the past 150 years or during the most recent five decades.
    The research is published in Geophysical Research Letters.

Guido chuckled at the following exchange he had with a Tory insider:

Tory: “What’s Labour’s position on the Syria crisis?”

GF: They say you should be talking to Russia.”

Tory: “Labour have been saying that since 1945.”

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
