Hi,

Astonishingly we handed over control of our National economy to Politicians and just look what happened directly cause by the economically illiterate Politician/Fool Gordon Brown – in the 11 years he has been responsible for the care and growth of the British economy the ONLY things that have grown is the number of uncontrolled immigrants, the number of non productive Government jobs, the number of unemployed (hidden dishonestly on schemes and scams), the number of QUANGOs, the salaries pensions and expenses of politicians has grown too.

What has grown is the number of manufacturing jobs lost and the number of jobs exported, also the number of key industries and services owned by aliens.

This tends to overlook Gordon Brown’s greatest growth area:

Since 1997 the growth of debt has been at a rate of about £9,111 each and every second!

If you count the money this clown has incurred as debt at £1 per second it will take 63,000 years to count!

Well done Gordon Brown!

A growth achieved almost single handedly, after all when it comes to serious matters The Tories would rather have a House of Commons debate on ‘Did The BBC handle the Jonathan Ross Incident properly’ – Staggering isn’t it, THEY ARE that stupid.

Now we know just how incompetent these clowns are can someone, ANYONE, explain why anyone would be daft enough to listen to their lies and propaganda about so called ‘Global Warming’.

Well done David Bellamy for highlighting the Government dishonesty:
BBC SHUNNED ME FOR DENYING CLIMATE CHANGE

SHUNNED: Naturalist David Bellamy

Wednesday November 5,2008

FOR YEARS David Bellamy was one of the best known faces on TV.

A respected botanist and the author of 35 books, he had presented around 400 programmes over the years and was appreciated by audiences for his boundless enthusiasm.

Yet for more than 10 years he has been out of the limelight, shunned by bosses at the BBC where he made his name, as well as fellow scientists and environmentalists. His crime? Bellamy says he doesn’t believe in man-made global warming. Here he reveals why – and the price he has paid for not toeing the orthodox line on climate change.

CLANGER: Bellamy says

Al Gore has 'no proof' that millions will die due to global warming

"When I first stuck my head above the parapet to say I didn’t believe what we were being told about global warming I had no idea what the consequences would be.

I am a scientist and I have to ­follow the directions of science but when I see that the truth is being covered up I have to voice my ­opinions.

According to official data, in every year since 1998 world temperatures have been getting colder, and in 2002 Arctic ice actually increased. Why, then, do we not hear about that?

The sad fact is that since I said I didn’t believe human beings caused global warming I’ve not been allowed to make a TV programme. My absence has been noticed, because wherever I go I meet people who say: “I grew up with you on the television, where are you now?”

It was in 1996 that I criticised wind farms while appearing on Blue Peter and I also had an article published in which I described global warming as poppycock.

The truth is, I didn’t think wind farms were an effective means of alternative energy so I said so. Back then, at the BBC you had to toe the line and I wasn’t doing that. At that point I was still making loads of television programmes and I was enjoying it greatly. Then I suddenly found I was sending in ideas for TV shows and they weren’t getting taken up. I’ve asked around about why I’ve been ignored but I found that people didn’t get back to me.


CAMPAIGNER: Bellamy says we must stop destroying tropical rainforests
At the beginning of this year there was a BBC show with four experts saying: “This is going to be the end of all the ice in the Arctic,” and hypothesising that it was going to be the hottest summer ever.

Was it hell!

It was very cold and very wet and now we’ve seen evidence that the glaciers in Alaska have started growing rapidly – and they’ve not grown for a long time.

I’ve seen evidence, which I believe, that says there has not been a rise in global temperature since 1998, despite the increase in carbon dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere. This makes me think the global warmers are telling lies – carbon dioxide is not the driver.

The idiot fringe have accused me of being like a Holocaust denier, which is ludicrous. Climate change is all about cycles, it’s a natural thing and has always happened. When the Romans lived in Britain they were growing very good red grapes and making wine on the borders of Scotland. It was evidently a lot warmer.

If you were sitting next to me 10,000 years ago we’d be under ice. So thank God for global warming for ending that ice age; we wouldn’t be here otherwise. People such as former American Vice-President Al Gore say that millions of us will die because of global warming – which I think is a pretty stupid thing to say if you’ve got no proof. And my opinion is that there is absolutely no proof that carbon dioxide is anything to do with any impending catastrophe. The ­science has, quite simply, gone awry. In fact, it’s not even science any more, it’s anti-science.

There’s no proof, it’s just projections and if you look at the models people such as Gore use, you can see they cherry pick the ones that support their beliefs. To date, the way the so-called Greens and the BBC, the Royal Society and even our political parties have handled this smacks of McCarthyism at its worst. Global warming is part of a natural cycle and there’s nothing we can actually do to stop these cycles.

The world is now facing spending a vast amount of money in tax to try to solve a problem that doesn’t actually exist. And how were we convinced that this problem exists, even though all the evidence from measurements goes against the fact?

God knows. Yes, the lakes in Africa are drying up. But that’s not global warming. They’re drying up for the very ­simple reason that most of them have dams around them. So the water that used to be used by local people is now used in the production of cut flowers and veget­ables for the supermarkets of Europe.

One of Al Gore’s biggest clangers was saying that the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan was drying up because of global warming. Well, everyone knows, because it was all over the news 20 years ago, that the Russians were growing cotton there at the time and that for every ton of cotton you produce you use a vast amount of water.

The thing that annoys me most is that there are genuine environmental problems that desperately require attention. I’m still an environmentalist, I’m still a Green and I’m still campaigning to stop the destruction of the biodiversity of the world. But money will be wasted on trying to solve this global warming “problem” that I would much rather was used for looking after the people of the world.

Being ignored by the likes of the BBC does not really bother me, not when there are much bigger problems at stake. I might not be on TV any more but I still go around the world campaigning about these important issues. For example, we must stop the dest­ruc­tion of trop­ical rainforests, something I’ve been saying for 35 years. Mother nature will balance things out but not if we interfere by destroying rainforests and overfishing the seas. That is where the real environmental catastrophe could occur.

UK - 3rd in the Global Millionaire Stakes (G025)

UK - 3rd in the Global Millionaire Stakes (G025)

A study entitled "A Wealth of Opportunities in Turbulent Times" by management consultants the Boston Consultant Group, showed that in 2007 the number of millionaire households grew by 11.2% globally despite the ensuing recession.

The UK was listed as having the 3rd largest number of millionaires (668,000) compared with Japan 2nd (900,000) and the US 1st (4,884,000).The report also predicted that China (5th) would overtake Germany (4th) in 2008.

Patrios is minded that many of the millionaires in the UK have achieved their wealth via property development/ownership and will be intrigued to see the effect that declining property values will have on these figures next year, though we doubt that The President of Kazakhstan will be too concerned about his 'secret £50m purchase' of Toprak Mansion in the Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, North London as reported in the Sunday Times today.

Which Direction for the Pound (G024)

Which Direction for the Pound (G024)

Despite last week's interest rate cut of 1.5% the £ rose slightly against the dollar from $1.57 - $1.58 and similarly against the Euro from 1.23 euros to 1.24 euros. One school of thought is that the reduction may stimulate the economy thereby supporting the pound against other currencies.

Patrios believes however, this is only a temporary rise with a significant fall due shortly. The UK economy (according to the IMF last Thursday) is expected to contract by 1.3% in 2009 suffering the worst recession within the Eurozone.

This prediction is holding back any progress sterling may make and will prove a major force in seeing a reduction of the £ to around $1.40 before Christmas. Also, with the Bank of England likely to reduce interest rates again by January the pound is unlikely to stabilize until at least the middle of next year.

Hi,

Some of you attended Huntsman Weekends that I organised over a number of years on a cross party and no party basis.

We had current MEPs, MPs, Lawyers, Authors, Conservative, Labour, Green, UKIP, Communists and undeclared BNP attend and the vaste majority of those who attended once returned, so we must have been doing something right as we provided a talk style cross feed of ideas over two days with all meals together in a hostelry local to Chepstow in The Wye Valley.

Some will remember the thoughtfull and erudite contributions of a particular friend Harry Beckhough with his wealth of information and experience in his 90s, author and educationalist who is the longest serving member of The Conservative Party, or the aggressive and domineering opinions of Hugh Jones of Swansea who believed he had the ONLY answer, he thanked us in advance for giving him his first platform before a mixed and political group but having failed to impress has never ceased to blame us!

Then there was Malcolm Wood who attended several times and then liberally lied about those he met and proved to be a self interested bounder, regularly altering EUkip minutes of meetings and telling lies about accounts, funds and members to suit his personal ambitions.

We were able to bring together all types of people from the gentle to the evil, liars to dedicated patriots an experience many gained from yet which exposed others for what they truelly were – an interesting concept which many ask me to continue/resurrect!

I am sure some of you will remember the robust and informative contributions made by Andy Martin a past Senatorial Candidate and Presidential hopefull from America – many of us have followed his pro active efforts in world and US politics – his willingness to stand his ground over principle even when that has placed him in prison fighting for his rights.

I’m sure many of you will enjoy the update of Andy’s activities:

(HONOLULU) (November 1, 2008)
Internet powerhouse Andy Martin has ignited a firestorm in Hawai'i over Barack Obama's bogus "original" birth certificate. Martin won a stunning victory Friday afternoon (October 31st) when the State of Hawai'i backed his assertion that there was an original, "typewritten, 1961" birth certificate, called a "Certificate of Live Birth" or "COLB" in Hawai'i, that no one has previously seen. Hawai'i officials retrieved and examined the document after Martin filed a lawsuit seeking access to the historic 1961 original.

Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the "original" on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen this document and posted it on the Internet; that is not true. CNN has falsely ridiculed Martin.

Hawai'i officials have now refuted Obama's false assertion. Martin's victory in Honolulu will roil the final weekend of the presidential campaign. Internet chatter is expected to explode as the issue moves to the front page over Saturday and Sunday.

Swing voters may be swayed by the exposure that Obama has brazenly been lying to the American people. "We just lobbed a grenade into the final weekend of the presidential campaign," says Andy. "I am ecstatic. I called Obama a liar. I called Factcheck.org 'ObamaLies.org.'

I said CNN was sloppy and lazy and wrong. And I was right. The State of Hawai'i has now backed me up.

Whew.

I knew I was right, but I feel a lot more comfortable knowing that I have started to get the machinery moving in state government. The original document is now obviously protected and safe from any tampering by Obama. "My lawsuit started a firestorm in Hawai'i. The circuit judge has set a hearing for November 18th (a report in the Honolulu Advertiser for November 1st for an earlier hearing date of November 7th is inaccurate; that date was cancelled).

"CNN also has egg on its face, because, once again, Hawai'i backs my contention that the original document has never surfaced in public. CNN tried to demean me by contradicting my accurate claim. "Now Obama, Factcheck.org and CNN have been exposed as liars. I said there was a 'secret,' original, typewritten birth certificate that had never been disclosed, and that document was the original COLB, not the phony 'original' that CNN placed before its viewers. "Why would Hawai'i officials review the vault document at the Eleventh Hour if my lawsuit wasn't causing a furor in Hawai'i state government?

Why?

The Friday before the election?

"Mine is the only logical, rational, properly prepared lawsuit that has been filed to open Obama's secret records. I sued in the proper state in the proper court against the proper officials for the proper remedy. And they are responding properly. The judge has properly, although not as quickly as I would have preferred, set a hearing to consider my claims. I have not filed outrageous or exaggerated pleadings.

"I merely sought access to a document based on its scholarly and news value and because I had been tipped by my sources inside state government that Obama was lying. My network of informants within state government helps me and guides me.

Others filed lawsuits outside Hawai'i that have either been dismissed or discredited. My 'little engine that could' is chugging along. "I have an outstanding record of high-profile public interest litigation, as recognized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court five years ago when they allowed me to represent a U. S. Marine in a landmark lawsuit."

See www.AndyMartin.com and www.FirstRespondersOnline.us In a Honolulu news conference on October 22nd Martin disclosed that Frank Marshall Davis was the biological father of Barack Obama, not Barack Obama senior.

The Obama campaign has not denied Martin's claim.

Over the past month I have been on combat patrol from coast to coast for the truth and for the United States Constitution," says Andy. "I have not the slightest link to John McCain. I am connected to the Constitution and nothing else.

I have waged relentless war against Barack Obama's lies.

And on the eve of the final weekend in the presidential campaign Hawai'i government has backed me by confirming that officials have examined the original, typewritten 1961 document, and confirmed that the document released by the Obama campaign was a facsimile, not the original. "I have won a major victory: I proved Obama was lying about what he had posed on the Internet and falsely portrayed as 'the original.' 'Barry, we caught you with your pants down. We caught you lying, again. "Saturday it will be my pleasure to return home to Chicago after one of the most successful independent political battle operations in media history, to wage the final weekend of war for the truth and Constitution and against the Daley Machine and Obama Gang.

I have successfully been exposing and fighting Daley Family corruption for over forty years. Barry Obama is part of the second generation Daley Machine. He is a member in good standing of this criminal operation. "The Machine doesn't like me. But I have a history of coming up with the truth, and a history of embarrassing powerful people.

In retaliation, they try to smear me.

The disclosure that Hawai'i officials have examined the true original COLB, and that Obama lied to the American people by falsely claiming he had posted the original 1961 document, is going to spread like wildfire between Saturday and Tuesday night. "This election is bizarre because the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, the Party's leader, is from the Daley Machine in Chicago.

And the leader of the Internet Army opposing Obama and working to defeat him and the Daley Machine is also from Chicago. My Senator would be proud. Martin is expected to announce Saturday that he is suing Fox News as well as the New York Times, for defamation of character. The lawsuit will be released Monday morning.

"For Fox News to treat me as they did is beneath contempt," says Martin. "I am respected around the world for accuracy, honesty and integrity. We know the New York Times is a corrupt media operation. But Fox News? Well, Ruppert Murdock may want to kow'tow to Barack Obama, but I will not kow'tow to Ruppert Murdock. The crass executives deserve to be sued for their malicious attacks on me.

Someone ought to stand up for me: I helped expose Bill Ayers and Khalid Al-Mansour.

A slimy 'vice president' that probably never worked a case or a story had the nerve to demean me. What a compete corporate moron. "How dare these media imposters and blowhards smear me with lies, when I have worked tirelessly to expose the truth about Barack Obama—and succeeded," Martin will charge. "I'll be happy to face the Fox jerk, Vice President Bill Shine, in court and defend my good name against Obama's mud merchants, the New York Times and Ruppert Murdock. Ruppert Murdock's daughter is backing Obama, for Chrissake. "I also plan Saturday to thank Dr. Chiyome Fukino for confirming my factual allegation that there was/is an original, typewritten 1961 'vault' COLB that has not been made public and that the true 'original' COLB is in official files.

That confirmation makes Barack Obama a liar, on the last weekend of the campaign.

Thank you, doctor. "Now you know why Obama and Axelrod and Gibbs call me the 'Internet Powerhouse' that can't be stopped.

Barack Obama will be bleeding through election night because of this massive lie exposed on the eve of their election. I work for the American people, not John McCain or the Republican Party. Friday, truth arrived in Honolulu, and in the remaining 100 hours that truth is going to be spread from coast-to-coast. "Obama lied."

Martin lands in Chicago at noon, and will proceed to his office, for an afternoon news conference.

Martin is also soliciting financial support to fund his litigation in Hawai'i.

Hi,

Many of you will have attended Huntsman Weekends and will remember that we gave the first cross party detailed analysis of Common Purpose giving Brian Gerrish his first serious platform beyond EUkip and his immediate area.

He has gone on to USE the contacts he made abusing any who question his personal obsession and paranoia and doing all he can to spreed distrust amongst those seeking seriously to expose Common Purpose, Hugh Jones also received his first extended audience, he told us, sadly his attacks on all who asked reasonable questions has led to his concept The Few stagnating.

However another attendee Neil Herron made many contacts and was able to gain a great deal of support for his ongoing campaigns as was David Delaney with The British Weights & Measures Campaign.

Many others have been able to extend their contacts and grow their ideas from contacts and information they learned at these two day weekend at The Huntsman near Chepstow.

Neil is going from strength to strength and there is every determination amongst an increasing group of us to ensure that Steve Thoburn the first Metric Martyr who was killed by the state who took this honest decent humble grocer and forced on him the full might of the State where the State sledge hammer did indeed break the small nut – the State must be deeply ashamed the stress killed Steve almost as obvious a State Murder as was the murder of Mr. Menezez slaughtered gratuitously, by an out of control, ill trained, over kitted incompetently led police murder squad.

Please stop and take a few seconds to think of Steve and the loss his widow and children suffered as a result of an over bearing and bullying jobs worth state which was representing its interests against the wishes of the people it is paid to represent.

We didn’t want metrication and no one wanted Steve Murdered any more than we wanted a bunch of incompetent chavs in a Police Hit Squad to Murder Jean Charles Menezez.

These men were killed in YOUR NAME you owe their families the reward of Justice.

Is it now time for Mayor Pipe and Councillor Alan Laing to launch an investigation into Hackney Council's 'targeting' of the Metric Martyrs?

Is the Janet Devers case 'proportionate?

Is the Janet Devers case 'in the public interest'?

Is the Janet Devers case 'in the consumers interest'?

The Sunday Telegraph reports on Hackney's 'agenda' below. The Market Inspectors referred to in the report have confirmed that they will be prepared to give witness testimony in court.

If you want to see the type of leaflet Head of Hackney Council's Trading Standards, Richard Carr ( richard.carr@hackney.gov.uk ) was handing out to traders in Hackney last year click here Ask yourself if this is really the sort of material paid public servants should be printing with public money?

Is it about time a full internal investigation into Hackney Council's Trading Standards Department was launched and the Devers prosecution abandoned to prevent the wasting of any more public money? Both the Vice President of the European Commission, Gunther Verheugen and the Government Minister John Denham have said that Metric Martyrs should not be prosecuted.

With the country and the Government and the European Commission declaring that there should be no more prosecutions then it is over to Mayor Jules Pipe and portfolio holder Councillor Alan Laing to now explain and justify to the voters and council taxpayers in Hackney and the rest of the taxpaying British public why they are not going to insist that the prosecution of Metric Martyr Janet Devers is abandoned and a full scale internal investigation into the behaviour of certain council officers launched.

Whistle-blowers say council targeted 'metric martyrs'
Street market inspectors were ordered to target a convicted "metric martyr" and his sister while ignoring other traders working in pounds and ounces because council officers wanted to "teach them a lesson".

By David Harrison Sunday Telegraph
Three former Hackney Council inspectors have told how they were instructed to single out Colin Hunt, 60 - one of the original metric martyrs - and his sister, Janet Devers, 64, for "enforcement action" because the pair had campaigned against the ban on imperial measurements.

One ex-inspector, who worked for Hackney for four years, said:
"The manager told us that we had to teach Janet and Colin a lesson and focus our enforcement efforts on them rather than any other traders who used imperial measures or sold goods by the bowl. We knew it wasn't fair, but if we objected the managers just said we should do as we were told. They made it clear that we had to pick on Janet and Colin even though they are good traders with a long history in the market."

Mr Hunt was convicted of using imperial measures in 2001 and fought an unsuccessful High Court battle on the issue in 2002.

Mrs Devers was last month convicted on eight similar charges by Thames magistrates last month - a case that prompted the Government to announce new guidelines that would effectively ban such prosecutions for "essentially minor offences". However, the use of imperial weights remains technically illegal.

The Sunday Telegraph is now campaigning for a change in the law, to ensure that retailers are allowed to sell food in pounds and ounces.

The campaign has been backed by a wide range of public figures, including former Cabinet minister Lord Tebbit, explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes and the actor Edward Fox.
Mrs Devers, who faces three further charges at Snaresbrook Crown Court in January, lodged an appeal against her convictions last week.

Another former inspector, Mohammed Serdouk, who monitored the Ridley Road market, in east London, said his bosses had ordered him to impose regulations and bylaws on Mr Hunt "many times, to the point that it made me feel he was particularly singled out to the point of harassment and making an example of him."

Mr Serdouk has now written a letter to the family, offering support, in which he wrote: "The application of these measures and the way they were carried out was unwarranted, needlessly unproductive and detrimental to the spirit of collaboration.

"I am certain that if those measures were applied across the market, without victims, Mr Hunt would be a supporter and advocate in bettering the situation in Ridley Road market."
The letter may be used as a witness statement in any future court hearings.

Another former inspector, who left the council earlier this year, told this newspaper: "Colin Hunt and Janet Devers were definitely the focus of the council's enforcement action in Ridley Road market. It was made clear to me that they were on the radar and we should keep a close eye on them."

In his letter of support for Mr Hunt, he added: "My immediate managers singled out Mr Hunt and directed market inspectors to pay particular attention to him by way of taking enforcement action against him.

"I feel Mr Hunt has certainly not received fair treatment and this is certainly not in the true spirit of the council's policy in working with traders and the traders association."

Mrs Devers, whose family have run market stalls in east London for more than 70 years, said: "We always suspected that we were being targeted by the council and these revelations show that we were right. The inspectors were told to make our lives difficult.

"It's absolutely disgraceful. Thousands of market traders all over the country are doing the same thing as us and yet we were the ones who were prosecuted.

"There are far more serious problems at Ridley Road market and elsewhere in Hackney but the council decides to waste taxpayers' money prosecuting people for weighing vegetables in pounds and ounces and selling goods by the bowl - something the Government now says councils shouldn't do."

Mr Hunt said: "I have been the target of these enforcement visits for seven years and in the past 18 months they have gone for my sister Janet as well. No other traders have been targeted in this way."

Neil Herron, director of the Metric Martyrs campaign which is also fighting for a change in the law to make it legal to sell good in pounds and ounces, said: "We thought it was more than coincidence that two of the five metric martyrs who have been prosecuted were from the same market and just happened to be brother and sister.

"Now we know it is more than coincidence - and the evidence has come from the very inspectors who were ordered to be on the front line of the campaign against Janet and Colin."
Mr Herron called for "a full internal inquiry into exactly what went on at Hackney council trading standards".

A spokesman for Hackney council said: "Trading Standards have taken formal action against 10 traders on Ridley Road Market for similar offences of deliberately omitting prices and quantities on produce.

"The punishments have ranged from simple cautions to prosecutions where fines and costs have been awarded."

The spokesman declined to comment on Mrs Devers' appeal.

Expect a Bank of England Surprise Move next week (G023)

Expect a Bank of England Surprise Move next week (G023)

Last month we predicted that the odds were in favour of an interest rate cut, which actually occurred. However, Patrios believes the MPC have got it wrong - the reduction was totally insufficient and another is required immediately and it needs to be far more substantial.

The price per barrel of oil has halved, unemployment is rising significantly and the banks are not passing on the interest rate reduction, as the LIBOR rate has remained stubbornly high. Whilst future inflation (as a result of an increase in the money supply and public expenditure) is of some concern, the reality of a significant recession/depression weighs far more on the minds of politicians and financiers.

It is our belief that the Bank of England will make a dramatic move next week to correct their error of last month. We would not be surprised to see a rate reduction of at least 1% and possibly (though it would be brave) as much as 1.5%.

However, this will have only limited effect if the LIBOR rate fails to move at a similar rate (there have been some indications in the past 2 weeks of LIBOR rates slowly reducing though banks are still likely to restrict reductions in order to strengthen their own balance sheets). An additional reduction of 0.5% is also possible in December or more likely January 2009.

Government Finance Is Nothing More Than Criminal Incompetence!! #A)^* (G016)

Council Tax Payers to bail out Local Authorities?

1. No, no, no!
Local authorities have more than £1bn tied up in Icelandic banks. With the fear that this money might not be returned, the Local Government Association (LGA) went running to the Treasury asking for help and protection.

It has also emerged that since September 2007, rankings by credit reference agencies should not simply be taken at face value. This was the Chancellor’s advice. However, the lure of high interest rates was too much to resist for some. To make matters worse, some of this money has been borrowed.

We have also seen the start of the ‘no blame game’. No one has done anything wrong, acted improperly or irresponsibly. Oh no. Local authorities have all followed the guidelines set down by John Prescott in 2004. How reassuring.
In total, it is estimated that local authorities have £8bn invested globally. Kent County Council alone has £163m invested. The total of all investments by public bodies globally is estimated at £30bn.
To make matters worse, it has also emerged that many local authority finance directors are baffled and confused by the money markets and have to take advice from external consultants about the investment of tax payers’ money.

2. £30bn invested globally
If local authorities have £8bn invested globally, it begs the question ‘why are they holding so much?’ This does not include council reserves of a further £11bn. These two amounts alone total £19bn which at a conservative annual interest rate of 5% generates £550m of interest income, which is nearly half of the annual increase in council tax for 2007-08.
Council tax receipts are now nearly £25bn per annum, and rising. Year after year, increases in council tax outstrip both inflation and wage increases. Yet, year after year we are told that councils are ‘cash strapped’ and threaten to cut services unless council tax goes up.
With at least £19bn in reserve or invested, councils are anything but ‘cash strapped’.

3. £25bn annual council tax
Some unnamed, so called "experts" are reported as stating that if local authorities don’t get their £1bn back then council tax payers will have to pay this again. Who are these "experts" and what right do they have to make such an assumption?
The consumption of public services is available to all, not just council tax payers. When you call the police or fire service, they don’t refuse to help you if you are not a council tax payer.
Any loss that any local authority may suffer, and it is too early to know if this will be the case, should be met by the Government. This problem is the result of local authorities following national guidelines. The Government can find £50bn to bail out the banks. Another £1bn really won’t make any difference. If the Government refuses, then there are plenty of reserves to fall back on locally, even if this means re-prioritising some spending decisions.

4. Public Finances are in "good shape"
Gordon Brown stated this in the Commons this week (w/c 20 October 2008) in order to justify his decision to spend his way out of recession. If this is really the case, then why are local authorities claiming to be "cash strapped"? These two statements are contradictory and require clarification. Local authorities have benefited from over 10 years of above inflation rises in their council tax receipts and now receive £25bn p.a.. On top of this they receive a further £10bn plus in fees and charges and continually claim to be saving millions of pounds in efficiency savings. Yet, every year, we get the same tired old message when they pass the ‘begging bowl’ round – ‘council tax must rise or services will be cut’. The Government allows them an annual 5% increase before they consider applying any cap yet still they want more. Clearly, something is very wrong – spending would seem to be out of control.

5. Helping hard working families
We have been told time and time again by Gordon Brown that he is doing everything he can to help hard working families and that he is acutely aware of the problems that families face. Yet, this message seems to have failed to reach the local authorities who are already announcing even more council tax increases for next year. Do these local politicians live in a parallel world? Are they so detached from reality that they have not noticed the credit crunch, the huge rises in the cost of oil, food, electricity and gas? Council taxpayers have to bear the brunt of these massive price increases and adjust their budgets accordingly. It is now time for profligate local authorities to rein in their spending too. Helping hard working families does not mean increasing their taxes.

6. Cash Strapped Council Taxpayers
What will happen when the council taxpayer runs out of money? Many thousands already have to make hard choices when managing their meagre incomes. The economic climate is certainly not going to get better or easier in the short term. It has been said many times already that the current level of council tax has reached its limit of acceptability. Another year of inflation busting increases may see history repeating itself as all peaceful means of encouraging the Government to reform local authority funding and to make it fairer have simply been ignored and treated with utter contempt.

7. No more council tax increases
In Scotland this year, the SNP in consultation with all local authorities achieved a freeze in council tax, thus proving beyond all reasonable doubt that with the right political will, council tax increases are avoidable.
In London too, Mayor Boris Johnson has also announced a freeze on the GLA precept to 2010/11 at the earliest. His longer term aim is to actually reduce the precept by cutting out waste. The GLA precept in London has rocketed by 152 per cent since 2001.
Since its introduction in 1993, the annual amount of council tax raised has increased by 300 per cent, from £8bn to 25bn.
It is now time for the Government to put a stop to this incessant, year on year inflation busting increases. People are sick and tired of seeing their hard earned money being taken away from them by local authorities who think that they can spend it better. Much of this is simply squandered. For example, one council spent £5k on squash court signs in Braille for blind people only to discover afterwards that blind people don’t play squash! Perhaps this is because they can’t see the ball, which is blindingly obvious even to a blind person. How stupid is that?

8. Action is needed now
Write to Gordon Brown, your MP and Local Authority Chief. Tell them that this decade of irresponsible council tax increases and spending must stop. Where known, quote examples of waste in your locality. The present system of council tax has been exposed as fundamentally flawed and should be replaced with a fairer system based on ability to pay.
Tell them, in no uncertain terms how you have to adjust your budget to make ends meet. If we all ran our home budgets the same way as Government has run theirs, we’d all be bankrupt. We can’t simply turn to our neighbour and expect (demand) that they pay for our poor financial mismanagement. These politicians need to be told and told and told until our message gets through.

9. None of these figures above includes the sale of approximately 600 tons of gold at the very bottom market value when at very least gold has risen in value since the economically illiterate idiot Brown’s mean average income price per ounce by £300 per ounce!CONSIDER:
£300 x 16ozs. x 2,240lb x 600 £6,541,200,000 Loss incurred selling off OUR Gold.

10. This Government is Criminally insane in economic terms. This also is separate from the £9,111 per second debt which Prudence has incurred for the peoples of these United Kingdoms Plus of course the huge losses he has orchestrated seeking to find ways to credibly devalue the British Pound to dupe people into acceptance of having our economy run by undemocratic foreigners The Euro through the ECB.

11. The incredible tragedy is that the opposition are such utter fools

This looks like the hysteria of over tired 3 year olds at a party!
The B.O.A.Ps.!
Bit Of A Pervert
Bit Of A Pratt &
Bit Of A Plonker!

Do YOU find the mess Government has made remotely funny?
12. NOT Once has Her Majesty’s Government,
be that front bench or loyal opposition, spoken out in ANY comprehensive or constructive way to address the utter, total and complete incompetence and irresponsibility of The Treasury during 11 years of criminal incompetence.

13. The Tories today had the opportunity of selecting
a debate for the House of Commons and minded of the Credit Crunch, the oncoming Currency Tsunami, the burgeoning Unemployment, the catastrophic repossessions, the Bankrupcy rate, the inability to fund the NHS drug requirements, the ……..What topic do YOU think the Tories found the most important that required a debate?Yes – you’ve guessed it Theresa May chose to have a debate on whether the BBC correctly handled the vapid, repetitive, childish behaviour of the sordid little rip off merchant Johnathan Ross correctly – well that will change the world I guess and save millions of lives!

14. Then again one has to realise it was the Government,
having incurred a debt of around £2Trillion in 11 years due to economic dishonesty and incompetence without a single solitary debate – Yesterday they had their first full debate on the non science and dishonest propaganda of Global Warming on the very day when for the first time since 1922 snow fell in London in October!

15. Next we have the Racist Police Organisation acting so typically
– they invited David Davies to address their Conference and found they had gone to the wrong address and pulled the wrong geezer! Instead of being addressed by the ex shadow David Davis they had by mistake invited Special Constable David T.C. Davies MP for Monmouthshire who in robust fashion and with complete accuracy and honesty pointed out that the organisation was racist, unacceptable and outside of the law, with quotes from their own web site to prove it – including pointing out that it was counter productive and anti police – Oh yeah they were a coloured organisation – mostly looking black as thunder at the exposure to the truth, red with embarrassment having pulled the wrong geezer and utterly stupid having shown just how dishonest and corrupt they were!Well done David! However instead of being promoted David will no doubt be ordered to scurry back to parliament either to behave like a fool as shown in the pictures above or debate something of world shattering importance like the imbecilic little Johnathan Ross!

16. The Government are like a dysfunctional family of Liverpool scallies in a soap opera – aware the bailiffs are drawing up the papers to seize the house & shinny cars whilst the occupants are spending money like drunken sailors on credit cards they have stolen, meanwhile the entire family squabbles over who controls the TV remote control and which of the 500 crass, foul languaged programmes, that now constitute TV entertainment, to watch!
BUT NOR ARE

THE BLUE LABOUR TORIES
or
THE IDIOTIC & MUDDLED LIB. DIMS.

3 LEADERLESS INCOMPETENTGROUPS OF CLOWNS
OBSCENELY OVER PAID!

& Johnathan Ross?

17. Perhaps someone can tell us how Anthony Charles Lynton Blair came
to office too broke to pay for minor repairs in his constituency house,with a wife with a VERY average career as a part time Barrister a father in lawon the fiddle on benefits and 4 children to fund.1997 > 2007 on a salary of around £175,000 as Prime Minisyter with a Free House2007 Blair left office with a property portfolio running to many £Millions and with an estimated net worth of approaching £1/2Billion.HOW did this skin crawlingly odious pervert and his revolting doxy manage to make so much money whilst acting as both Party leader and Prime Minster – I can not see any way he could have made so much money honestly but that leads one to remember he WAS First Lord of The Treasury!!”Draw your own conclusions!

18. NEVER forget in 1997 Gordon Brown and the claque
of anti British crooks and useful idiots he and Blair surrounded themselves with took over responsibility for the British economy taking over balanced books – today 11 years later Britain is in debt to the tune of approaching £2 Trillion which if counted at one Pound per second would take 63,000 years to count YES Sixty Three Thousand Years!

19. It is now probable that by 2010-12
Britain is likely to have uncheduled power outs due to the incompetence of the Government to implement a programme of building Nuclear power stations as the backbone of a clean fuel industry and building coal fired power stations and trash burner systems with chimney scrubbers – the ONLY way to provide sufficient power for survival alongside the omni present and readily available Oil supply which seems on EVERY scientific model, based on discovered resources so far, to be sufficient for mankind’s needs for over a century.

PLEASE NOTE:
I have removed promotional material from the details above for Friends of the Earth & Gaia Foundation as although I am opposed to GM Crops on the grounds of logic, science and democratic principles I consider Friends of the Earth & Gaia Foundation to be irresponsible, illogical, dishonest and corrupt in the promotion of junk science and dishonest propaganda unfounded on scientific facts with peer review in the field of Global Warming & Climate Change and their opposition to clean energy through Nuclear Power and their promotion of massively environmentally damaging concepts of power production such as Windmills etc.

Which have absolutely no grounding in factual science as standing any chance of providing mankinds needs.I uphold the efforts of Percy Schmeiser to oppose GM products and terminator seed concepts and the right of corporations and individuals to patent any part of the DNA of any living natural product or life form.

I deprecate his association with Global warmists and self promoting individuals and organisations exploiting fear and ignorance.

You may find the following article of interest:
QUOTE from..Dr Vincent Gray, a member of the UN IPCC Expert Reviewers Panel since its inception, calls for abolishing the IPCCExcerpt:
The whole process is a swindle, The IPCC from the beginning was given the licence to use whatever methods would be necessary to provide "evidence" that carbon dioxide increases are harming the climate, even if this involves manipulation of dubious data and using peoples' opinions instead of science to "prove" their case.

The disappearance of the IPCC in disgrace is not only desirable but inevitable. The reason is, that the world will slowly realise that the "predictions" emanating from the IPCC will not happen.

The absence of any "global warming" for the past eight years is just the beginning.

Sooner or later all of us will come to realise that this organisation, and the thinking behind it, is phony. Unfortunately severe economic damage is likely to be done by its influence before that happens.

I have been an "Expert Reviewer" for the IPCC right from the start and I have submitted a very large number of comments on their drafts. It has recently been revealed that I submitted 1,898 comments on the Final Draft of the current Report.

Over the period I have made an intensive study of the data and procedures used by IPCC contributors throughout their whole study range.

I have a large library of reprints, books and comments and have published many comments of my own in published papers, a book, and in my occasional newsletter, the current number being 157.

I began with a belief in scientific ethics, that scientists would answer queries honestly, that scientific argument would take place purely on the basis of facts, logic and established scientific and mathematical principles.Right from the beginning I have had difficulty with this procedure. Penetrating questions often ended without any answer.

Comments on the IPCC drafts were rejected without explanation, and attempts to pursue the matter were frustrated indefinitely.

Over the years, as I have learned more about the data and procedures of the IPCC I have found increasing opposition by them to providing explanations, until I have been forced to the conclusion that for significant parts of the work of the IPCC, the data collection and scientific methods employed are unsound.

Resistance to all efforts to try and discuss or rectify these problems has convinced me that normal scientific procedures are not only rejected by the IPCC, but that this practice is endemic, and was part of the organization from the very beginning.

I therefore consider that the IPCC is fundamentally corrupt. The only "reform" I could envisage, would be its abolition.The two main "scientific" claims of the IPCC are the claim that "the globe is warming" and "Increases in carbon dioxide emissions are responsible".

Evidence for both of these claims is fatally flawed.-----------------------------------The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is supposedly the last word on global warming.

Those who promote global warming hype declare IPCC reports to be peer reviewed science, and peer reviewed science to be infallible. On that basis, critics are attacked for putting themselves above the unquestionable word of science.But the IPCC is controlled by political hacks who reshape the science for their agenda.

There is no place in science for arbitrary authority—least of all a subject as complex as climate change.Alexander Cockburn, editor of Counterpunch, is a journalist who describes the position of the critics fairly well. He says, "To identify either the government-funded climate modellers or their political shock troops, the IPCC's panelists, with scientific rigor and objectivity is as unrealistic as detecting the same attributes in a craniologist financed by Lombroso studying a murderer's head in a nineteenth-century prison for the criminally insane."

http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn05122007.html Frauds always base their position on something which they claim to know but can't describe. You are supposed to trust them.Constructive persons always describe the evidence, or they don't say it. They expect each person to do his own evaluating.Why should a bunch of idiots who have never taken a science course in their lives tell people what to think about global warming?

Do they know something others don't know?

Hundreds of years ago, when there was a theocracy, and social structures were frivolous, a religious group tried to institutionalize the standard of secret knowledge and called it gnosticism. The use of secret knowledge didn't begin or end with them; it is the only way corrupt persons present a subject. They will not describe the specifics of evidence and logic, because the evidence and logic contradict their frauds.

is a constructive way to communicate and a destructive way to communicate.

Constructive persons always explain. Destructive persons never do. The difference is in personal moral standards.

You need to recognize the difference and demand explanations instead of trusting frauds. Has anyone ever explained a single point of the carbon dioxide fraud? They never do. Supposedly the IPCC has it figured out, and all you have to do is go along with their conclusions.

If it can't be explained; it is a fraud.

END OF

If it can't be explained; it is a fraud

Sounds a bit like the EU to me, which IS a fraud IT can’t be explained or justified either!.

The financial crisis could be the euro's death knell ... and even end the shambolic EUWOULDN’T THAT BE WONDERFUL!

NEVER forget in 1997 Gordon Brown and the claque of anti British crooks and useful idiots he and Blair surrounded themselves with took over responsibility for the British economy taking over balanced books – today 11 years later Britain is in debt to the tune of approaching £2 Trillion which if counted at one Pound per second would take 63,000 years to count YES Sixty Three Thousand Years!I

63,000 Years of Brown Debt !!! #A04* (G025)


The financial crisis could be the euro's death knell ... and even end the shambolic EU

Hi,



Just a bit of a roundup this morning before you dash out and jump from the window, along with thousands of contrite Bankers & honest accountants, who as professional gamblers have clearly backed not just the wrong colour but isolated themselves in playing against the odds in a huge and unsecured gamble on a number, along with the Government that ‘Likes to say YES’ when handing out our money and increasing our taxes.

Consider the details of Britain’s debt which was somewhere in excess of £1.3 Trillion under the careful and prudent care of Gordon Brown Prudent as ever it had ONLY risen by £1.3Trillion during his tour of duty at a time when there were approximately 100 new stealth taxes to generate income to ensure financial prudence and a move away from ‘boom and bust’ economics he so frequently warned us of.



Then on top of the £1.3Trillion of debt he incurred for us he has had a great giveaway – in fact claimed to be setting the world an example of giving away the money stolen from the tax payers – normally tax is for the good of the society but under Gordon Brown tax has been to buy 3 elections for his old mate Tony!



Anyway to add to the £1.3Trillion we have £100bn.+ handed over to his banking mates in Northern Rock based in Newcastle on which Labour is dependent (one wonders if they were based in Surrey and called The Green Belt Bank whether they would have been bailed out with OUR money!), add to that his giveaway of £500bn. Of OUR money again to bail out his mates the bankers – I wonder what he did with the proceedes of the 600tonnes of OUR gold he sold!



So ignore the gold that is £1.3Trillion+£100bn.+500bn. Basing the figures on a low level of interest that means that you and I owe together with the rest of the population of Britain – except the Somalis, French, Germans, Sudanese, Nigerian, Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis, South Africans, Sri Lankans, Spanish, Ghanaians, Zionists and their ilk will probably leg it a bit quick when they find they owe a lot of money!



Anyway that works out that Labour have Conservatively ie without a bleat from the opposition, have incurred us in £1.9Trillion so to allow for the odd bit I forgot let us call that £2Trillion!!!


A trillion is a one followed by twelve zeros---1,000,000,000,000.



In one year (taking account of leap year) there are 31,600,000 seconds.



1 trillion divided by 31, 600,000 seconds is 31,546 years.



It will take 31,546 years to count the first trillion dollars.




WELL DONE Mr. Brown:with such Prudence in 11 years since you took over managing Britain’s finances you have squandered so much money it will take over 63,000 years to count it!

OK so let's put it another way since we all know roughly how long ONE Second is and most of us know how long it takes us to earn ourselves (after tax £10,000) - Well wee Prudence has incurred debt since he took over control of our finances in 1997 at the rate of £9,111.00 per SECOND.



Now the truelly staggering thing about all this is that I am NOT an economist, I did NOT get one of the youngest Doctorates from Edinburgh NOR one of the highest marks EVERGordon Brown DID.



Perhaps we should shut Edinburgh University Economics Faculty if this is the product!



I state I was not nor am I an economist but I was writing polemics about the inevitability of a credit collapse and the probability of 200,000,000 deaths across EUrope due to EU policy, EU over regulation and utter incompetence in the EU and its basic principles.



Perhaps Economics is the absolute Science of Being Fiscally Wise AFTER the event.Economists are the specialists who clear up the mess economists make!



There is possibly only one good thing about being Japanese and that is that Bushido dictates that if you are a leader and you screw up this badly you have the honour to commit ‘Sepuko’ – we would at least be rid of Gordon Brown and his immediate supporters & followers and as promised Peter Mandelson is ‘right behind him’.

Which Direction for the US Dollar? (G022)

Which Direction for the US Dollar? (G022)

Many analysts, politicians and investors are quite rightly asking which direction is the USA Dollar heading and is it sustainable? Since the second half of last year, the direction is unequivocally up.

In mid-July the dollar stood at a little over $1.60 against the Euro, but with the exception of one or two small set backs has risen since to the current level of $1.38

Last years weakness in the USA dollar may be attributed to a number of factors:
the widespread belief that the USA economy would move headlong into recession as a result of the sub prime mortgage crisis; the financial system would be hit particularly harder than those of other countries because of this crisis; and the Federal Reserve’s rather aggressive monetary policy response may result in systemic deterioration of the currency.

Despite these fears, the underlying USA economy has proven relatively robust compared to its overseas counterparts. In the second quarter, the economies of both Japan and the Euro zone contracted, with the UK remaining stagnant. US growth in the same period saw a rise of 3.3%.

Banks throughout both Europe and the Globe have seen a number of banking failures; nationalisations and mergers occur. The latest movements in the UK being the nationalisation of Northern Rock, the acquiring of Bradford and Bingley assets by Santander and the nearly completed acquisition of HBOS by Lloyds TSB.

The dollar has also been supported by the Federal Reserve Bank acting in such a way to prevent systemic risk - it allowed both Lehman Brothers to go ‘bust’ and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to be saved at the same time . Thereby providing confidence that both free market principles plus Central Bank intervention was, and is, possible.Naturally, there is the fear that the dollar’s relative strength may affect the US export competitiveness and weaker demand from Europe and Japan will take its toll.

However, there is some relief from emerging market economies which currently account for over half of US exports.

Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at the Bank of New York Mellon is quoted as saying that the dollar is benefitting not only from weakening growth expectations at home, but also “While the United States has won the battle of the growth expectations for now, opinions in the market are deeply divided over the way in which Central Banks will respond to the continued rise in inflationary pressures”.
“If the US ends up winning the battle of the interest rate differentials, with the Federal Reserve lifting rates sooner than expected, the greenback has far more upside potential than many expect”.

Whilst third quarter growth in the US is likely to drop significantly, it must be borne in mind that a weaker economy is already choking back import demand and this trade deficit impact may prove supportive of the dollar. However, in order to sustain dollar strength the US needs to consume less and emerging markets such as China need to consume more – both of which are occurring.

In addition, the result of earlier dollar weakness has seen the growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the US. So a relatively cheaper dollar, gains in productivity and lower labour costs have enabled FDI in the US to rise by nearly two thirds last year to $277 billion. However, whilst FDI inflows would support the dollar, the latest budget forecasts from the US Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) which projects a record high deficit of $482 billion in fiscal 2009 may have an opposing effect.

Higher US interest rates may be required to maintain foreign inflows but if both budget and current account deficits surge and US interest rates remain at current level (or fall further) this would have a profound negative impact for the dollar.

Bearing in mind the current fear of a recession occurring it would be difficult to see the Federal Reserve even contemplating a rise in interest rates for some time yet.

The question as to whether the dollar’s rise is sustainable is difficult to predict at this stage. Too many negative variables may prove destabilising, but the Fed’s action preventing systemic risk as the result of the sub prime market; increasing foreign investment into the US and a relatively robust economy compared with Europe and Japan may enable a slow but gradual strengthening of the dollar to continue.
