        The UK political landscape has been turned into a sick joke.
        Our oppressors are obviously rattled; their recent actions have revealed them in their true colours.
        Guido has been proved to be the master of understatement in his assessment of their evil ways.

            Oy vey! Will no one think of the East End porn peddlers and their right for £200,000,000 of goy taxpayers’ money to flog off West Ham for £1bn to a Chosen ‘Russian’ oligarch in 2015?

          • Mole in the Immigration Department says:

            Keeping you informed, the Clegg made (rubbish) pronouncements on immigration yesterday and Cameron will next week. What they don’t want to tell you is the numbers trying to get in via asylum applications has rocketed, the Department say officially up 6% but I can tell you it’s more like 20%.

            Some fellow serfs have been doing a hush hush report on the number of illegals in the country, frightening figures of between 1.6 and 1.9 million and that’s trying to put the best slant on it. One section came up with a figure of 1 in 20 people in London is an illegal.

            If you weren’t depressed before you are as soon as you get to work here and nothing is being done about the situation just coverup after coverup.

            I would estimate that around 10% of the households on Walthamstow are harbouring illegal immigrants, which is possibly why the Met have decided to close the polce station incase they come across any bt accident.

            I watched Romanian Gypo’s doing this many many times over 20 years in Tenerife
            what you dont see is that most of the people in the crowd are part of the gang , there is a signal to each one , that is how they keep winning there are also several pick pockets working in the crowd and if you should win they will not give you any money , they just keep saying double or quits until they win
            There is also at least 5 or 6 look outs posted at various distances away , who use mobile phones to warn of any police in the area
            I saw people lose hundreds trying to get back their money

      Any questions last night. Straw and Kramer made fools of themselves quoting from their parties’ crib sheets which are provided for such occasions, that the new press freedom charter is based on the Irish system that is proven to work. When put under pressure it turned out that these two stooges did not know any more than was written on their crib sheets which were both inaccurate and misleading.

    Mr Quelch,Headmaster of the Remove says:

    Guido Fawkes believes the coalition government – and in particular Chancellor George Osborne – have accepted that Britain is on its way to enduring ten years of austerity and a stagnant economy.

    In the Budget, UK growth forecasts for 2013 were halved, prompting rating agency Fitch to warn that it may downgrade the UK’s AAA credit rating in April. Last month, agency Moody’s stripped the UK of its top AAA rating.

    ‘Living standards squeezed’
    Guido Fawkes also says: “We are five years on from the financial crisis of 2008. We are in the slowest recovery for 100 years. And it is you who are suffering. Wages are frozen. Prices are rising. Living standards falling.

    “Yet the chancellor offered no change in the Budget. He offered more of the same. Can you imagine another five years of this? Low growth. Living standards squeezed further. You paying the price.

    “A lost decade Britain cannot afford. A decade of national decline.”

      Cut-me-own-throat Dibbler says:

      It’s all very well to be so negative about austerity and trying to balance the books as Militwat is saying but what is the alternative? Another reckless gamble with the economy as Labour did for a decade? Spending more money on the public sector and borrowing billions to account for it? Billions more which will also have to be paid back, presumably when the Tories get back in again, should Militwat con enough people and win the next election? Although he is more likely to witness another Labour government begging for more money from the IMF first. Sure this may add to GDP but it will be only a temporary fillip and then we will be back to square one with even bigger debts.

      Militwat knows he is being dishonest but people don’t have to believe all his bullshit.

      The big problem with the Tories is that they have become a Labour-lite government and not cutting back on public spending and welfare enough (as they promised).

      The only genuine right-wing party with decent policies is UKIP.

          Who Want's Some! says:

          All our current political elite need to be replaced, when Iceland went bust they went through economic pain as you would expect, but they also had the chance to realign their economy and their politics. They were able to pursue the bankers and politicians that had caused the problem and then set about rebuilding their economy. They are still doing this and it will take time, but they have been able to do what we in the UK and the wider EU have not, to get some degree of justice, to remove the people who engaged in criminal activity and have a plan to actually get their economy moving.
          None of them, Lab, Con or LibDim actually have a clue as to how to improve things, they are just working through a back catalogue of old crap that will never work. They all think that some how ‘growth’ will return and it will be 2002-2007 all over again, it won’t. But our elite have embarked on reckless immigration policies, more commitment of tax payer money to support a ponzi property/rent market, mad interventionist social spending and dangerous military adventures with no understanding of how they will play out. We need true conservative values in a true Conservative Party, it may be called something else in the future but I know one thing it can’t have any of the current mob leading it. UKIP are the weapon to use that will trigger the battle to bring this about. Take the long view, the next 8 years are ‘burnt flesh’ whoever wins in 2015, but if we get Dave and Heathite pals out and start the creation of an English conservative party then that will be the victory to aim for. UKIP will change and most likely merge in the process of this battle but it needs to happen if England is to actaully exist in 50 years from now.

          • Ed Miliband says:

            Better the devil you know, surely?

            Oh wait, I’m not in power yet. Er, vote UKIP then as that’s the best way to ensure I get in and that this country borrows its way out of its debt obligations under Ed Balls as chancellor. Or something.

            Either way, I demand an enquiry.

        If only the useless prick Osborne was.

        He is spending money at a rate that even the lunatic Brown never dared to, mostly on green crap and socialist bollocks.
        It really is simple you know, you could eliminate the deficit overnight and start cutting the debt immediately, if Osborne and Cameron had any balls ( not that c*nt ) at all.

        Socialism is killing this country and Dave’s Continuity Labour Fauxservative party are as guilty as the last bunch of cretins.

      worser than that says:

      And he is only telling you the half of it. Labour has left the country in a very dangerous situation that could result in a declaration of bankruptcy. But like all Chancellors he is not allowed to say that and has to talk up the book

      Truth is Government spending is still out of control. But it does not help that the two Eds take every opportunity to trip the government up rather than provide constructive opposition, their immaturity is very regrettable and not helpful to the country.

    • 243
      Phil says:

      Ed’s rabbiting on about a lost decade has omitted one important point which is that Labour lost it, before the tories got in, by catastrophic overspending. Anyone with half a braincell could not possibly expect a 2-3 year turn round in the economy after 13 years of appalling political overspend which was targeted primarily on buying votes,destroying our economy, trashing every institution it could lay its hands on and indiscriminate immigration.
      I would not be surprised if we are facing 3 decades to recover from Labour’s legacy and that guess is predicated on the assumption that Labour is not allowed anywhere near the corridors of power in the meantime. “Thanks Ed for Fxxx all. I personally will never forget what you and Labour have done to my country.

          Was I the only one who watched Christine Amanpour’s programme on CNN today? She was discussing the build up to the Iraq war and had Lardy Prescott slagging off Blair about the reasons why he went along with the Yanks to invade Iraq; the war was pre-planned and arranged by Bushy and the hawks in Washington.

          Seems (like many have suspected) that the real reason was “unfinished business” to get rid of Saddam when Daddy Bush stopped at the Kuwait/Iraq border.
          Bugger all to do with 9/11 or Alky Ada either.

            http://amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2013/03/19/key-player-in-iraq-war-turns-critic/

            For good background on US foreign policy with !ran / !raq in the 80s as backgrounder, Amanpours ‘bloody murder’ series on u’Tube is well worth a look in.

            Some aspects of !ran Contra help explain why policy towards !raq changed and served to embolden Sad@m, which ultimately led to his invasion of Kuwa!t in what he regarded as a ‘green light’ from Wash!ngton.

      The euro is the means to a federal end. says:

      People should consider that the Euro exists because of political aspirations of a federal Europe, nothing more and nothing less. There is not one practical reason why the euro should exist anymore than a global currency.

      So when analysing whether the Euro will fail or not the main (whole) consideration has to be the Euro zone politicians’ resolve to cling to this currency at all costs to bring about a Federal Europe and not the mechanics of the currency.

        There are only two cases justified for global currencies:

        i) Currency backed by dominant imperial power. The euro of course does not qualify, as neither does yuan / ruble. USD still does.

        ii) Currency which is independent of fiat and is universally recognized: Gold.

        A digital currency such as bitcoin could contend, but as the digital currencies depend on a certain level of technological development, it would not survive a serious war. Gold would.

          Casual Observer says:

          Note that the article is quite careful to side step the issues of manipulation of UK energy market prices which has been going on for a while.

          Part of the reason for the shortage, even though the supply side outages and ‘unexpected’ demand have helped, has been massage of prices to the upside by the traders.

          eg: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/nov/12/libor-like-manipulation-gas-markets

          To manipulate the prices up, as Enron did, you work to ensure that certain maintenance does or does not happen to coincide with peaks in demand. Creating artificial shortage is the name of the game to manipulate the ‘spot’ price around.

          UK prices the buy side went from GBP 1 to GBP 1.50 before dropping back to 90p / therm.

          Quite a lot of profit can be had in that window, if you know what you are doing. Consumer ends up carrying the cost.

          Spot market for natural gas prices doesn’t make much sense, when it is remembered that natural gas is usually bought on futures market.

          It is meant to act as a limiter for demand, but if that was the case you would see your energy company immediate bill you now which you do not. The average price you pay will go up, so whilst spot sets price today to limit demand today, thee spikes will have the effect of cutting your supply next year. Make sense ? It shouldn’t, but that is reality.

      Good speech from Nigel.

      UK pivoting back towards common wealth is a good idea, but one thing which it may need to be wary of is the assumption that the UK will be able to do so with an assumption of leadership.

      In terms of getting out of the customs union with Europe, that would be good for the UK. The danger though is just how other common wealth members prefer to negotiate their deals. On economy of scale, negotiating with the Euro bloc is perhaps more preferable.

      The notion needs to be brought forward though as that is likely to be the real future for UK international trade and relations. Similar discussions have already started between certain med nations and LATAM for example.

    What a great UKIP conference speach by Nigel Farage. Thoughts, Ideas, dri-ve and commitment to improving the lot of the country. A 21st century Enoch Powell perhaps?
    Now watching Miliband list the thousands of failings present today that have ‘surprisingly’, only just occurred since May 2010. Billy Grahamesque in his preaching about Tory sinners and promoting himself as the saviour, and his party as the champion of all, he omits to offer one concrete fact or suggestion about how they would tackle the problem. Pathetic.
    Can thirteen years of abysmal failure by previous government be changed overnight without unfortunately many years of pain for all fools who maxed out and the innocents who believed their promises?
    A national debt that went from the low hundred billions to nearly a trillion through years of plenty cannot be resolved at a stroke,with a world economy in depression, and hidden PFI assets and the inevitable interest totting up to complicate the situation..
    Excess immigrants that suck the life blood out of limited resources and aren’t going away soon. Only they have found the promised land at the expense of the indigenous old, poor and disabled who deserve it more..
    A population conned to believe that their credit card like the governments was a bottomless pit for easy money now repaying debt where they can, yet restricting growth.
    It’s either accepting Miliband’s suggested “decade of decline” and cutting your coat according to your cloth or realising that the next time they get their hands on the switch, the austerity imposed on all today will look like the Utopia of many yesteryears we all remember so fondly.

    Casual Observer says:

    EASF Mention above ( 215 ) of Amanpour’s recent interview with Prescott is interesting and the interview is worth looking at.

    Prescott’s timing of public change of position, he is very much against intervention for the aim of regime change, is curious. Are the forces which wish for intervention in Syr!a about to give way ? Or is this something more connected with Chilcot ?

    It is documented, though more recently since the Goldsmith defense has floundered, that Blair’s primary motivation for intervention is rooted in how he felt an element of guilt over lack of action to prevent the Rwanda genocide.

    Blair was not in power at the time so could not really have done much about it, and the events did take the international community and UN itself by surprise. So fast this unfolded that there was not much anyone could have done to prevent it.

    Blair’s sense of guilt is curious in this case then, unless of course he had advance knowledge.

    Prescott brings into frame the successful interventions which Blair championed prior to !raq: S!erra Leone and Kosovo. The historical ordering though is Kosovo 1999, and S!erra Leone 2000.

    Kosovo, even by the council of europe, is not considered a success, but far from it:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/dec/15/balkans-report-blairs-liberal-intervention

    The notion of liberal interventionism being a force for good is a myth in the case of Kosovo. The bombardment of Belgrade and positions in Kosovo served to increase tension on the ground and resulted in more atrocities being committed than would otherwise would have occurred.

    (It should not be forgotten that the Kosovo death camp reports, in particular those files by Penny Marshall of !TN which helped shape public opinion for intervention in 1992, were outright black propaganda. Careful inspection of which side of the barbed wire fence apparent prisoners were standing, as could be seen in the photos, let the cat out of that bag.)

    S!erra Leone was destabilized originally under Blairs watch in 1998 when Sandline was contracted in to support Ahmed Kabbah’s government following a coup. This was described by Sp!cer as ‘ethical foreign policy’ at the time.

    (This coup was foreseeable following Kabbah’s successful eviction of Executive Outcomes, a mercinary firm in 1997, and continued pressure from Liber!a’s RUF on the country. )

    h**p://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1998/05/98/arms_to_africa_row/207586.stm

    The later destabilization of the country was inevitable. The UK military intervention could be argued to have had more to do with protecting defense budgets than outright humanitarian reasons, and filling a power vacuum which the UN were incapable of at that time, and which had been left by the withdrawal of primarily UK private mercenary companies.

    The backdrop to the S!erra Leone issues in the 1990s was the blood diamond trade.

    Blair cannot really use this intervention either as an example of success.

        Chilcot testimony of Simon Mann may prove interesting.

        Mann was part of the failed Wonga Coup in 2004, in Equatorial Guinea, which brought Mark Thatcher into official disrepute.

        In numerous interviews Simon has indicated that he was involved with planning sessions prior to !raq 2003 invasion which were looking to build clandestine operations designed to provoke Hussain into action which would justify invasion.

        The failure of such provocation would provide credible motivation for building the fabricated 45 minute claims from intelligence documents, aka The dodgy dossier.

        One of the people behind Powell mentioned, David Hart, is interesting:

        He died 5 Jan 2011, apparently he had been suffering from primal lateral sclerosis since 2006, which had taken his ability to communicate in 2006.

        However, he was able to give this interview to the T’Graph in 2009:

        h**p://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/5514726/David-Hart-Despite-it-all-I-feel-lucky-to-be-alive.html

        Hart was rejected for standing for the Conservatives in Bury St Edmunds 1992, Richard Spring stood and won that year, David Ruffley has held the seat since 1997. He was also responsible for the ‘Who Dares Wins’ coda to Portillos 1995 speech.

        NB: Spring, aka Baron Risby, is currently in the Lords and since 2010 has been the UK Trade envoy to Alger!a, and 2003 to 2011 was a director of the British Syr!an association in London. His resume is interesting.

        Hart remained close to Powell when Blair came into office.

        Hart was paid GBP 13m by B A E in 2007:

            Probably because he is an individual.

            The standard game is to deny someone, they do not want around, a liberty available to their equals. This should in most people provoke a reaction. During that reaction they fabricate accusations against the person.

            I am taking about a reaction like going to your MP. Where the MP takes part in encouraging further reaction and the fabrication of the accusations.

            These accusation are then used to justify the original act of denying the person a liberty.

            But if everything is recorded, and they can be proven to be dishonest, then they resort to direct written threats and corrupt judges.

            The only answer is to wait until the balance shifts and the public mood sees through an organization. Of course wait for when they are in need and deny their arrogance its delusional liberty.

            The public mood is swinging, and the perception of the corruption is increasing. These are generally the people that believe they are the only one to deliver a solution but equally believe that all below them are replaceable. It is the UK public sector psychosis. It is amazing how many people placed in charge of this country will confirm in writing that they have nothing to do with running this country.

      Troika sources even cannot be trusted (!?!)

      If the reports of panic buying and shortages on the island, EU flag burning are true and the government sees that it may be facing civil disturbances, then the tune will be changed. The Cypriot government will use the mood of their people as the final shield against the Troika demand.

      “TVP are a Moosonic fuc.king shambles and a disgrace to the British Public.”

      Which fact is so fucking well-known, BW, they even did an episode of Inspector Morse where that was a plot point; our Endeavour asks his guv, Det Ch Supt Strange, whether he’ll be allowed to investigate a case having Ma*sonic overtones, since Morse knows Strange is a Ma*son. You want to talk about hiding something in plain sight? “OK, it’s just a television show, nobody takes it seriously– I mean, if we went by that show, there’s a hundred murders in Oxfordshire every year, blah blah blah…”, so why would anybody believe a TV show that says the Ma*sons control the TVP? And why would there be the in-joke of sorts of naming the boss “Strange”? It is almost as if the producers were doing the locals a favour by acknowledging the facts, and telling the plod, “Oh, if we come right out and say it, people in other parts will think, ‘Hey, if the local constabulary really WERE a secret lodge, would they want that fact to be known far and wide? Probably not!’ So the effect will be to deny it by admitting it– don’t you see?”

    Is this true?

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2297355/Nick-Boles-Turn-shops-offices-barns-homes-permission-planning-free-all.html

    Nick Boles has no idea of what is involved. Planning is not the bottle neck. The issue is poor development. In general, and especially around here, some developers expect their flawed designs to be acceptable, which at times are even impossible to build.

    In one example it took 5 years to land bank the area, buying up properties. It took just 16 week to get the permission and one year later the site has not been started. Another took 13 weeks for planning, and over a year later there is still just a pile of rubble. These are typical of schemes around here. One town has 3 major sites with full permission, and one on the way, yet nothing gets built.

    The bigger issue is the mortgage companies. They are safeguarding their investments by valuing the new houses way below the builders expectations. So a buyer not only has to supply the deposit for the mortgage but also the difference between the mortgage and the selling price.

    Then add in the buyers potential negative equity and no one dares realise the debts.

    Do not blame planning. Yes there are some terrible council planning departments, but the system is not the issue. We need planning to safeguard us from the stupidity and greed of certain developers.

    Note that the time limit targets added by government actually increase the time to get a valid permission. If a application is so flawed that it cannot be corrected in 13 weeks it is just refused (still taking the full time slot). They then get involved in appeals or second applications massively increasing the delays and costs. However if an application is withdrawn early or amended it will get through the first time.

    Boles wake up and talk to those that are successful. You have online access to all application histories to look up the good one. Why not find the developers, that are too busy building, and do not complaining to you, and learn. Stop listening to the unsuccessful ones, there is a reason they are failing. They have got too bloated and lazy in the boom times.

    Can someone in this government grab hold of his reins and keep Boles in doors until he can learn to play sensibly?

      If you want the UK to look like a Cairo suburb let Boles continue.

      If you want to see empty towns like China let Boles continue.

      If you want to see demolition of new properties like Spain let Boles continue.

      If you want more flooding and no light to reach your windows let Boles continue.

      Freedom does not have to be at the expense of others. It is quite easy to design and build what is required without resorting to this madness.

      Casual Observer says:

      There is quite a bit at stake with the UK cement industry, which is in part why they want a construction boom:

      http://www.globalcement.com/magazine/articles/706-the-british-cement-industry-in-2011-and-2012

      The problems with gas supply are causing some issues, but the real problem is the CO2 taxes which have pushed the cost of cement up unreasonably.

      According to that article, the environmental taxes have encouraged cement plants to use everything from sewage pellets to tire chips and carpet remnants to power the kilns.

      Incidentally, it is this artificially and unnecessarily inflated raw material cost which is prompting the government to try and maintain house prices, particularly for new builds, at a certain level. The damage caused by what we now know to be completely retarded environmental policies directly affects the construction industry.

      If demand for cement does not pick up then companies are going to fold as they will not be able to recover the capital costs of following these environmental regs. Cemex were threatening last year to close a number of plants.

    2nd Canadian identified as being terrorist in those who attacked the In Amenas gas plant back in January.

    So either:

    i) Canada has a serious terrorist problem, as the US suggested some time back
    or
    ii) These were deep cover agents

    Cameron’s reported reaction to the news of Algerian response struct dissonance at the time. He seemed more concerned about that than the actual attack itself.

    That would weaken plausibility denial that there was not knowing western influence in the attack, perhaps to provide cover for incursion into Mal! ?
