    This from the King of U-Turns.
    Your friend and mine,David Cameron

    CONSERVATIVE leader David Cameron has abandoned his party’s plans to cut the number of MSPs at Holyrood, insisting he would not “unilaterally impose” the reforms on the Scottish Parliament.

    Am I First ????

          • It claimed that the conception rate among under-18 girls in the 10 most disadvantaged areas was 54%. The real figure was 54 per 1,000.

            Nick Clegg’s chief of staff Danny Alexander today poured ridicule on Conservatives:

            The Tories seem to think that half our teenagers are pregnant, our cities are like The Wire and that people will get married for a few extra quid.

            If they really believe Britain is like this, it’s remarkable that Conservative MPs can pluck up the courage to leave their houses.

            They should lower their drawbridges, spend less time tending their moats and duck houses, and join the rest of us in the real world.

            Bizarrely enough, none of the ‘heavyweight’ Tory blogs: ConservativeHome, Iain Dale or Guido Fawkes, bothered to say anything about the massive blunder.

            Hardly surprising, when we are all preoccupied with the near-bankruptcy that is all we have to show for 13 years of NuLiebour ‘government’.

            It’s very typical of a NuLiebore blogdrone to be so keen so highlight a statistical error. So, how about taking a look at the Goverment’s statistical ‘errors’ as well. Take your pick George; economy, immigration, health, education. Which one would you like us all to begin with?

            Don’t try posting about statistical ‘errors’ when this Adminstration has been proven to be habitually incapable of publishing the truth.

            Or 1 in 20 get pregnant and live off taxpayers backs. A travesty for Labour. The figure should be 54 for the whole country (anyone who was raped and their views don’t permit the sensible abortion option).

      Atlas shrugged says:

      Why do you give any credence to what politicians say they will do wither in power or in opposition?

      It is what that actually DO that matters. I am not in anyway saying that what they say they will do, they will in reality not do. Only that in general they will not do all of the things you like, but will do most of the things you don’t.

      This is known as democracy in action, examples of which are so almost infinite in number it would take an encyclopedic undertaking in which to list them all.

      However in general, if a top politician attempts to give the impression that he is fundamentally anti-war for example, you can expect World War 3 to break out virtually any day after they get themselves elected.

      Likewise if they claim they are going to cut, they most likely will, but will still carry on increasing spending all of the same. Just like Thatcher did in fact.

      Events, and of course establishment conspired corruption, have the extremely well established habit of making prospective PM’s speeches look like something from Billy Liar on speed.

      In this sense, and this sense only Tony Blair has done us all a great service. At least now we can more plainly see, what we should have seen a very long time ago.

      The reason for this is simple.

      Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were very much assured that by the time they finally got booted out, we would be safely in the hands of the New World Order, in the shape of a corporatist dictatorship, namely The EU. This particular dictatorship being most notable for its lack of a visual or known dictator, or indeed leader. For now, and for possibly forever he will be more commonly known as BIG BROTHER. Please note HE, and Brother, because you can be perfectly sure, it will never be a female of any description.

      As the end of our long standing illusion of national representative parliamentary was about to meet its proverbial, and near literal Waterloo. The effective end of the Labour Party and Conservative Party’s establishment run comedy double act, was of no long term importance. Therefore the lies could flow as thick and fast as needed, because the end game as far as Gordon and Tony were concerned, was perfectly inevitable, as well as planned almost to the finest detail.

      Power has only seemed to have moved to somewhere else. In reality it has actually stayed in exactly the same place it had always been. Problem is that that place has long since not been within the Palace of Westminster.

      The Death tax Swindle

      A post on thisismoney.com

      This is not set to hit middle income at all; it is set to target lower working class people who have exercised thrift all of their lives so that they would have a house paid for when they get old. It is sinister and morally outrageous. It is not even to pay for the elderly care; it is for the profligate policies of New Labour.
      If we can afford to keep asylum seekers in luxury accommodation then we can afford to pay for care for the elderly. If we can’t afford the latter then we most certainly cannot afford the former.

            So not only are Labour lying by saying that the tory’s inheritance tax will save the richest people most, when in reality it is designed to stop ordinary people, who bought their houses decades ago for a reasonable price, from being hit with inheritance tax due to the value of their homes going through the roof in the insane labour housing price bubble, but they are also now proposing to spread an ‘inheritance tax’ of their own to the entire population.

            To suggest that this was not a definate proposal by labour is bullshit. They were hoping to keep the other parties quiet on this until after the election, but thankfully, this truth has been exposed. Labour would tax you for dying!

            Under these plans, I would not be able to pass on my very modest terraced house to my daughter, the death tax would see to that!

            Labour taxing everyone more, it is the only thing that they know how to do.

      This death tax is just another tax. Don’t go there. keep the inheritance tax as it is, leave that alone. Start to look at “savings” in public spending. Get this country moving.

    Can anyone tell me,

    Is the death tax levied on death, regardless of whether the deceased has received long term care or not?

    Where does the £20,000 come from if the deceased has been renting, or, more likely under NL; has been homeless.

    If it is levied only when care has been received, surely it’s cheaper to take a trip to Zurich when long term care becomes necessary.

        The world’s oceans are becoming acidic at a faster rate than at any time in the last 65 million years, threatening marine life and food supplies across the globe, according to a new study.

        and we can all guess the culprit -

        The rapid acidification today is being caused by the massive amount of carbon dioxide being pumped out by cars and factories every year, which is absorbed by the water. Since the industrial revolution acidity in the seas have increased by 30 per cent.

            November 11th, 2009

            London, November 11 (ANI): A new study by researchers from the Bristol University, UK, has suggested that terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans have a much greater capacity to absorb CO2 (carbon dioxide) than had been previously expected.

            The results run contrary to a significant body of recent research which expects that the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans to absorb CO2 should start to diminish as CO2 emissions increase, letting greenhouse gas levels skyrocket.

            Dr Wolfgang Knorr at the University of Bristol found that in fact the trend in the airborne fraction since 1850 has only been 0.7 – 1.4 percent per decade, which is essentially zero.

            (Air borne fraction = Atmosphere where it acts as a greenhouse gas)

            The strength of the new study is that it rests solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice, and does not rely on computations with complex climate models*

            *Complex climate models run on very, very, very expensive number crunchers as per UEA CRU and IPCC (My comment)

    Guido,

    Just read this http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article7026921.ece in the times, and my cynical mind has suggested an alternative explanation. The article is all about labour ministers urging brown to adopt a masochism strategy. To open up to the people. This makes some sense, it’s an approach that both Blair and Clinton (Mr) have used effectively.

    However, considering what we know of Gordon’s shambolic and fragmented personality and general instability, this is unlikely to help – even over a relatively short campaign the cracks will show. However, what it will do is completely undermine the credibility of Gordon and the entire current list of ministers. Who, assuming the next election is already lost, would benefit from being able to cast aside gordon and the entire current cabinet. Who would benefit from being able to make a clean sweep and distance themselves from what has gone before?

    As sting sang “Mephistopheles is not my name”, but at least there’s a common initial. It would be interesting to see who’s promoting this idea amongst the cabinet.

          Don’t forget the Lib-Dems, far from being the “nice” party, they are the sh*t slingers par excellence at least as far as Local Politics are concerned.
          After all they are the Labour party in all but name and as corrupt as their New Labour comrades.
          They may go on about local democracy, but if you want to see it in action have a look at Richmond upon Thames, petitions against luxury flats being built on Twickenham’s riverside ignored and local opposition steamrollered. And when they appeal to Sainted Vince Cable, their local MP, the answer they receive – silence………..
          Liberal Democracy in action.
          I notice they voted for a referendum on electoral reform, but denied the UK a referendum on Lisbon by backing their Old Comrades in the Labour Party.

    He knew what he was doing says:

    A Sob Story is a tactic used to pry sympathy out of the general public. It can be many things from how horrible your life is, how you hurt yourself, how your friend died and how you almost died to name just a few. With the stupidity-nurturing effects of so-called reality television and confessional mass media soul-baring, it has spread like a virus.

    The truth of the matter is that almost all cases of sob stories are blatant ploys. This is because people with real deaths and tragedy usually have the maturity to move on with their lives instead of being a blubbering for attention.

    One has to question the motivation of the incumbent of the highest office in the land to participate in this theatre.

    Oh and of course if you challenge the sob story operator, you are a horrible insensitive b*stard… I mean, like, how DARE you question it!

    Or, on another level,Thomas Gray:

          If you are a normal, everyday working person trying to make ends meet and pay your mortgage / rent, why on earth would you even be considering voting tory? If Cameron has his way, interest rates will rise leaving a huge majority who are unable to meet the monthly cost of living.

          Considering things went pear shaped just as Gordon came into power, why are so many all too quick to criticise. He has done an amazing job for the working class, keeping interest low – VOTE LABOUR if you want to have any chance of survival in this economic climic, which incidently Labour have saved us from the repeat tortore of the 80′s under Conservative rule…..

    Glenn Beck- Fox News says:

    Labour have been chasing the vision of some sort of Marxist Utopia which was, by way of the ‘third way’, going to be achieved by evolution rather than a full blown Marxist revolution. Logic should have told us that it would end in tears and history reminded that Labour had a perfect record – yes a true 100% – record of reducing the UK economy to a shipwreck. Furthermore there is and has never been anywhere in the world where socialism has worked for the benefit of any population. Indeed hundreds of millions have been killed in the name of or under the watch of Socialism.

    So why surrender ourselves to a bunch of Socialists with no regard for the lessons of history and who, to secure the future of their ‘project’, have cut off any chance of retreat by way of locking us into a socialist Europe?

    Not only have Labour messed up the economy again but, by way of europe, they have also shackled us to a EU ‘sinking ship’, which is almost certainly holed below the water line.

    It is obvious to anyone with half a brain that government spending was and is out of control and it was obvious, even before this crisis, that the tax payers were not getting value for money – now with the financial ‘antics’ of Greece and the other ‘PIGS’ the British taxpayer will be told by Europe to help bail them out! The reason for this of course is that we no longer have our nationality and are merely a region of europe.

    In a world of logic and common sense surely this should be the last straw for us! We should be saying thanks but no thanks – we are off. Dave needs to understand that the game has changed and that it is the duty of any government to protect the national interests of its people – We need that referendum!

    Like the USSSR the EU is doomed to failure so surely it is time to get out of this experimental socialist project while we still can – or at least to demand real reform linked to a threat of withdrawal.

    It saddens me to say that the Conservative party seem to be some sort of ‘diet’ Nulabour, they cannot bring themselves to spell out the details of the very bitter required medication and, In spite of all the warning signs, they also seem willing to allow the continued UK surrender to Europe.

    Now is the time when we should no longer be trusting the ‘Driver’ – we should be grabbing the steering wheel in an effort to avoid a serious crash, we should get off while we can and make our own way.

    Socialism and Marx should have no support IT DOES NOT WORK!

    Make sure you aren’t dehydrated, this can occasionally be the reason why you aren’t producing tears.

    « Website Review: Ballroomdancers.info, a New Way to Dance OnlineDangerous Bends »
    Make sure your facial muscles are relaxed. Don’t tense the muscles in your face, make sure you are relaxed. You can’t force your eyes to cry by bracing your entire body – some people forget this.

    Think of some unhappy memories before you start, if you wish to try a technique which involves crying from past experience. A breakup, death, situation that you find sad (leaving your family, your pet getting killed in front of you), or sometimes even a predicament that made you cry in a movie can work.
    If you wear contacts, be very careful as some methods can dry them up or damage them.
    When making yourself cry, you are either hurting yourself to produce tears, making your eyes water, or drying out your eyes.

    Cw is still querying the internet revolution series by the BBC which was all too spoon fed and did not really intend to tackle , how the hey wow factor had some dangerous problems namely , how much is good for a person, and left out the dissenting voices on social networking and immersive gamming .It took the lite questions and went onto to auger the paying for it problem, mmm where i have seen that American presenter before , thats right it was as chick geek seducer on “thumb bandits” , mmm the old ones are the best eh .

    Just seen draft of Dr Whootynannystate script for broad cast on election night titled : The ruins legacy .

    story board : Dr Whootynannystate lands on earth in spring 2010 , to find it very like 1978 , money has mysteriously disappeared, stockpiles of a vaccine that may not be any good , and vying factions for a forth comming general election . The ” faban woosies” a pagna sect who regulary inspect chicken entrails to see if the polls will improve , like porn and recreational drugs , led by mixed bunch of flaccid fairy story con artists whose nutter leader is called the Ruin . The other group is the “roof menders” have been love with the Ruins 13yr pagan festivle in part because it was so simple no one could argue if anything other that drugs sex and credit card spending were any better .
    The “roof menders” feeling somewhat led astray by the ruin and his mirror party the “yellow peril” , have deicided that we cannot go on like this , and as it would happen so have quite a few other people .

    despite a televised heart to heart , the ruin was still losing support , so he send his boy band envoy everton for ever burnham , to sing “anything I do i do it for you” in line with the ruins wierd reverse robin hood policy strategy of making the poor pay for there own debt whilst millionaire friends ave it large and space credits by the barrowfull .

    the yellow peril in a rather sneaky manouver pretend to have air bag moments , crash , pooof land safely , and re invent themselves as happy we dont do politics party , hoping that all those who cant make any sense of the ruins lack of policies will think them not so bad after all , especially if the daleks appear on the scene .

    Can the roof menders stop the ruin deploying his ultimate weapon “the boredom inducer” , will Dr Whootanannystate travell back in time to the roof menders leader time as secreatry to “empress of the roof menders”and tell him , mark well ye the sign of the ruin , his name is lisbon , oh and by the way global warming could be a load of tripe .
