Posted: 20 Jun 2010 at 7:42pm

The honeymoon period of this coalition government looks like being extended only for as long as the two sides can agree.
 
I don't know about you but having two sides of a government against the opposition of whatever form, must be detrimental to success.
 
Maybe the latest call for the public to support our troops might just be the point at which the stitches become strained. It is crass stupidity to compare the universal support of the fighting men (mostly conscripts) in the two world wars with the apparent antipathy towards our modern professional army.
 
Why?
 
Ask yourself, how many people in your street are over-seas fighting for the survival of Great Britain and democracy. The modern soldier is a career soldier. He is a soldier from choice but, just as was said of those old soldiers who did not necessarily volunteer, they are still lions led by donkeys.
 
The public sees our troops being sacrificed on the altar of American imperial desires and greed. We do not see this great war against terrorism that the politicians are so fond of using as an excuse for sending our best youth to die futilely in the sands of Afghanistan or Iraq. We know that America has simply played the terror card and (under Blair) the UK adopted the card as the rallying call to the mob. America created a war for terror and has fought it so successfully that the world is in terror.
 
How sad that the world is in terror of the Americans!
 
I have heard it suggested that the reason European troops are in such numbers in Afghanistan is that America is not trusted to play by the rules in her greed and anticipation of the new oil pipeline (Yes - it's all about oil! Did you think differently?) nor is she trusted to maintain proper control of her gung-ho commanders who are so brain-washed that they really believe that by killing civilians in Helmand Province they are preventing attacks on Wal-Mart in Achilawapee. Certainly the reports from European troops are more coherent and convincing than some of the utter propaganda that America occasionally publishes.
 
The British public will support the British Army when the British Army is being used to actively protect and defend the sovereignty of the British Isles. The British public might be a little more supportive of the troops if they could see them fighting the real terror threats on their streets and in their shopping centres. The real terror attacks are coming from within. They are coming from an uncontrolled growth in the criminal element of society and nobody is doing anything about it.
 
The police are hands bound by 'targets' that see them chasing 'solutions' rather than chasing criminals. Not only are they hands tied in that respect, they also know that even if they capture a notorious criminal he will probably receive very little by way of punishment - especially if he plays the race card and claims that his rights were denied.
 
This governemnt needs to send a strong message to the public. They need to answer a simple question - - WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?
 
They then need to take an oath that they will do nothing that will prejudice the security of a single natural born Brit. (Dream on Old Coot - why not ask for the moon on a lolly stick?)

Well Arthur,
 
Leaving almost no stone unturned as usual Wink
 
It must be time to have a rethink - ie "the voter" about what form of life they want.
 
In my view it is straight-forward.
 
Big Government and little freedom?  The Stalinist Model Dead
 
Smaller Government with those that have grabbing more?  The Capitalist Model Angry
 
A liberal & elitist society based on the consensus of minority groups?  The Anarchy Model Ouch
 
A review of Magna Carta - bearing in mind the original version was produced to blackmail the then establishment - and the absolutely necessity to leave the completely morally bankrupt European Union.   Cool
 
It will take a while I guess, mainly because we are too busy- too lazy- too complacent and too depressed to actually place ourselves in danger of being recognised (outside of social media confines) as real people who will stand up and fight for our own values. Sleepy
 
Demon-ocracy needs to be translated to mean something different - Dream on!  Cry

May 6th.
 
What will that mean to you?
 
Will you feel a great responsibility as you place your kiss on your ballot paper or will you think 'Why bother - it will all end in tears whatever I do'.
 
In vain have I looked for anything that would make me feel that any of the political parties have the interests of the British public at heart. The now, historical, actuality of the Palace of Westminster being populated by English loathing, trough hogging ignoramusses is being borne out as manifesto after manifesto fails to address the real concerns of the British subject.
 
Where are the promises to reduce the reliance of Social Services on unqualified, quota filling staff?
Where are the promises to make crime a less profitable occupation?
Where is there any indication that the police will be promoted from form filling automatons to real heroes on the war-torn streets of England?
Where is there any justification for sending our best youth to die in foreign lands because the MoD does not have the money to protect it?
Where are the promises to spend Health budget money on people who provide health care and not those who provide internal empires of administrators who wouldn't know a tumour from a pimple on their donkey (ass)?.
Where is the determination to recall all our troops and reduce our nuclear arsenal?
Where is the desire to make criminal actions punishable? I know criminal motorists are punished but what about rapists and murderers? They are not punished - they are sent to finishing school.
Where is the commitment to enable our British pensioners to live at least as well as any criminal in jail?
Above all, where is the desire to make the streets of the UK safe for people to walk upon?  
 
Let's face it, whoever wins the next election NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Our best youth will be sacrificed to the will of our American masters. Al Quaida will be quoted as the scourge of the Earth while it is really only a construct of USA imperial aims to terrify the rest of the world. Nameless civil servants will absorb the lions share of any budget as they create the need for more and more administrators and report compilers.
 
The British government, whatever shade or colour, is nothing but a front to disguise what goes on behind the scenes. Phenomenal amounts of money are squandered to create totally useless jobs so that Jobsworths can carry on in the knowledge that they can do no wrong (even when they do).
 
In reality, there are far too many vested interests to allow any UK government to do anything constructive. The worst of these is our abject surrender to the American terror machine. The UK is comitted to spending money and lives it cannot spare in order to prevent Al Quaida becoming the world wide terrorist organisation that it already is. Isn't it so convenient to be able to raise a smoke screen every time there is some form of political challenge to the profligate waste of resources that supporting a puppet American president is consuming.
 
It's much too late for a return of Britain to the British, we haven't been in our own country since the Labour inspired open door policy on immigration and the blatant discrimination against Brits who have failed to make a go of it abroad when it comes to Social Services help.
 
Priorities need to be adjusted.
 
The UK does not need more things that go fizz-bang, it does not need yet more layers of administration, it does not need political correctness - it needs a return to the values that it was famous for. Most of all, the emphasis must be returned to seeking to help those born and bred in the islands BEFORE squandering the rapidly diminishing resources that remain.
Not so blatant but still slavery.

Posted: 04 Apr 2010 at 11:26am

It's been a while but I have been researching the statement that lots of ordinary folk earn their living by working for charities.
 
Can't find many - certainly not lots!
 
What I have discovered is simply confirmation of the snout-down attitude of the upper echelon of most charities and the surprisingly wide spread attitude that to be a paid staffer on a charity somehow makes you better than the person giving up time to really work for the charity.
 
I have not found a single non board member of any charity in Spain (British or Spanish) that even gets his/her expenses paid - let alone a wage! There are hundreds of charities out there that are missmanaged on a gruesome scale by people who see charity work as an easy option for making far more money than they actually earn.
 
As always, there will be a (very) few exceptions but, just as many people seem to think stealing from a charity shop is not a criminal act (after all, the goods were supplied free!) there are far too many nonentities who use the charity gravy train to enhance their own standing - often to the detriment of the charity itself.
 
Far too little over-sight is exercised on charities. If they were audited half as vigorously as poor old Fred, the match seller, who knows how many 'missing' contributions might turn up. I find it so distasteful that the obscene salaries paid to senior officers of charities are actually defended by comparing charities to big business. Charities have no manufacturing expenses. They have few storage expenses and they generally have whole armies of people working for them to provide the cash which they like to think is going to help the poor  . . . . . . . . .  (fill that in for yourself).
 
They are NOT big enough business to justify these salaries.
 
The strange thing is that charities have hundreds of people capable of running all aspects of them at far less cost than the current system of elite skim merchants - but that will never happen because the gravy train is now rolling and the snouts are down.

Posted: 04 Apr 2010 at 9:07am

PLEASE!!! Let him!What on earth does it take to get the opposition parties to get rid of this curent asylum of maladministrating, trough-hogging gaggle of bankrupt wannabe Conservatives?

Politics has never been a very happy medium in the UK since the clear cut division between envy and wealth became blaired by Tony and his psycophantic activities.

Now we see the Labour Party using free posters, the result, can you believe it, of a competition open to the public. The poster that depicts Cameron as Gene Hunt (Who?) seems to be a home goal from what I can see since Gene Hunt is, apparently quite an iconic figure of fiction.

“Don’t let him take Britain back to the 1980’s” is the clarion call but heck, what was the 1980’s all about? It was about union greed. It was about another bankrupt Labour party using any lies, slander, rumour and under-hand tactics to kid the British public that they were fit to govern.

It would be a good thing if we could go back to the 1980’s and learn from the dreadful mistakes that have been made. Maybe we could prevent the spread of stultifying political correctness (a.k.a. insanity) and the open door policy on immigration (a.k.a. putting the milche cow into a neighbours field and letting him milk the udder off it). Maybe we could retain a little unity within our islands. Maybe we could forget our special relationship (a.k.a. under dog) with USA. Maybe we could halt the dumbing down of our schools and universities. Maybe we could return to an era when it was still not too late to make women realise that it was wrong to abandon their families and dilute the job market in the search for equality. Maybe we could acknowledge that, despite the opinions of men, women have ruled society for centuries. Maybe by keeping at least one parent in charge, the appalling levels of degeneracy among our young people could be halted. Maybe we could avoid joining the American war for terror that has been so successful that the whole world is terrified.

Yes please Mr. Cameron. Take us back to the 1980’s but let us not forget the years that have seen the UK become an inneffective laughing stock. Let us start to dwell upon our own problems and accept that we can no longer be the policeman of the world. We need our own troops now on our own streets to fight the internecine war being fought there.

The (dissunited) UK needs to become UNITED once again.

Subject: The war for terror.
Posted: 02 Mar 2010 at 4:03pm

Well, That's it - terror won!
 
The USA and its lick-spittle puppies (not least the UK) have managed to involve the whole world in a mass of terror campaigns.
 
Ever since the Pilgrim Fathers decided that heathen indians were good only for killing, the attitude on that awful continent has been "my country, wrong or wrong". There is an almost autonomic reaction when anybody does something that America does not like - "Let's go and kill 'em!" (Sorry - missed out YEEHAWWWWW!!!)
 
Oh. Hold on. That isn't quite true. As we discovered during the second world war, America's public face did not like the war but the private face behind the mask loved it! Here was the opportunity so many had waited for. Here was the chance to make millions! And they did.
 
Hardy volunteers from America did come across and fight on one side or the other but America did absolutely nothing to support democracy against a dictator. Indeed, it is fairly clear that America was 'in the war' to make money and they didn't really care who they supplied nor what those people stood for (a lack of foreign knowledge that is just as great today).
 
When they did join the war, after being attacked, they sent their accountants along as well to ensure that any help and supplies were properly priced, invoiced and obscenely profitable. The UK only finished paying for American help in the war a few years ago.
 
Every conflict in which America gets involved is always profitable for America and deadly for everybody else. The unavoidable back-lash from the invasion of Iraq has seen many people killed but only Americans sent out to be a part oif the invading army have been killed. The Middle East has been hopelessly destabilised in order for American presidents to pose and look macho while not having the first idea in their heads about the justice or lack of it in the deaths of their finest youth and thousands of innocent civilians.
 
The whole world fears America and its heavy handed foreign policy based upon how much profit can be squeezed out of how few American deaths. Even now this suicidally insane nation is shaking a sabre at Iran! Iran isn't Iraq. It will not be defended by old men and boys while the army hides. Iran will only be subdued by main force and it is pounds to pennies that there are enough mad men in charge in America to estimate that a limited nuclear engagement will not cost more than a few million lives.
 
Will somebody please take the big boys' toys off America before they start playing with them?
 
They won the war for terror.
 
We are all terrified!

Hi,

Welcome to this topic about business models.
 
To begin we have to announce that we are developing an alternative to those traditionally used throughout the world.
 
We will soon be presenting details on current business models and how we can avoid many of the problems they encounter on a personal and society level.  
 
Look forward to your ideas on this revolutionary approach.
 
More details shortly......Wink

Yes Arthur, I'm inclined to agree with you in general.
 
I am also reminded that lots of ordinary folk are earning their living by being employed by the charities. Approve
 
However we must not overlook the armies of volunteers who have the need to contribute in their own way to relieve the suffering of humans and animals, together with investing in education projects, building projects, farming projects, rehab projects, et al projects.
Whilst in themselves not earth-shattering in the overall dysfunctional world in which we live, they bring relief and the hope of a future to a great number. Clap

Posted: 30 Dec 2009 at 2:04pm

Hi Arthur,
 
Interesting view from the Costa del Sol!
 
Supermarkets and indeed even Hypermarkets have been around in many countries for some time now.
They have evolved from the basic need of the consumer in society to find a 'one-stop shop' for many of the day-to-day provisions.  They are successful businesses.  Clap
 
I guess the farmers have been around for some time also.  If they are anything like their opposite numbers in the UK they have also been complaining for some time now.
 
If they are all going bankrupt why is their land value soaring?  Maybe it is because of the need now to grow more crops for bio-fuels.  And so evolution continues.  Wacko 
 
It is really more important to consider the issue of whether we as a world can grow enough food and deliver it in good condition to the consumer and make a profit.
 
Much of the reality is lost within so called trading agreements - like the European Common Agricultural Policy - where a few countries with agri-culture economies are subsidised by the taxpayers.
 
Free trade sadly will never be allowed to happen when the vested interests are playing with themselves in the New Capitalist Model. Angry
 
Have a successful day - social re-engineering has been around since we all left the caves. Smile
