it just me who is getting more 'socialist' as they get older? I
thought you were supposed to get more right wing as you got older, you
know the 'ang 'em, flog 'em brigade. Now don't get me wrong. I would
rather cut off my right arm than vote Labour. I supposed because they
no longer look after the workers. All of the main parties in the UK are
for the 'hard working middle classes' and there is not even a ba' hair
between them. I despair for the 'working class' guy, if such a thing
still exists. Who represents him? No one. Even the Trade Union
leaders are making in excess of £100,000 a year and in my opinion you
can't make that sort of money and still be 'working class'. These
people are under great pressure. Short term contracts, unemployment,
low wages, part time work, disability and unemployment benefit under
attack by millionaires like IDS, who married into wealth and married a
Viscount's daughter. Oh yes, you can take the attitude like the 'Daily
Mail' and pick out the 0.001% who are immigrants and are living in the
huge house in London with their 16 children and making £30,000 on
benefits, but when you average it out that is less than £2,000 per year,
per child and most of that sum is paid in housing benefit anyway. This
the reason that I am a Scottish Nationalist. I want to be represented
by people who have me and the good of the country at heart. Not morons,

We are increasingly becoming subject to a Global security system organised by our politicians in hand with the companies that most of us abhor. Arms dealers, multinationals etc. and the money, as we all know, is flowing into politicians hands. Who in Britain or elsewhere has been ever jailed for their fraud? Yet, fraud benefits are threatened with a 10 year sentence. Now, I don't disagree that people who are running non-existent benefit claimants should be hammered. But, the silly young girl who is claiming single parent allowance and lets her current thick boyfriend to stay a couple of nights a week?

<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="userContent"><br /> <br /> ” How to wage a war upon the poor.<br />
Probably the most disgusting thing about this coalition has been their
propaganda war against the most disadvantaged people in society. By the
deliberate spreading of lies, they have facilitated a systematic assault
upon the poor, the sick and the disabled. And they have knowingly
misled the public for one simple reason, to enable them to totally
dismantle the welfare state.<br /> There are lies, damned lies, and then there are lying Tory bastards.<br /> The welfare state has led to a ‘something for nothing’ culture?<br />
It may be utterly repugnant to hear millionaire politicians who have
never worked a day in their life telling us that they are ending the
‘something for nothing culture’, but it’s also utter bollocks. Only 2.5%
of the total welfare budget of £200 billion actually goes on
unemployment, whilst the vast majority of unemployed claimants have
worked, and paid taxes, for years and are now on benefits due to
redundancy, sickness, disability or having to care for someone. Millions
more are receiving benefits due to poverty wages. The Welfare state is
actually a massive state subsidy to business which enables it to pay
poverty wages and charge exorbitant rents.<br /> Living on benefits is a lifestyle choice?<br />
Only 0.1% of benefit claimants who have claimed for 10 years or more
are actually unemployed. Less than 5,000 people, out of over 9 million
16-64 year olds who don’t work, have been on Job Seekers Allowance for
more than 5 years. Less than 0.1% of the 20 million working age
households have 2 generations that have never had a permanent job.
Despite strenuous efforts, researchers have been unable to find any
families where three generations have never worked.<br /> People won’t work because benefits are too high?<br />
In 1971, JSA equalled 20.9% of the average wage. Today, it is worth
10.9%. These people are living in poverty. There are 8.5 million people
receiving benefits in this country. There are more people IN WORK who
get benefits than not working. The majority of all housing benefit
claimants are IN WORK. 6.1 million people classed as living in poverty
are from households IN WORK.<br /> People on housing benefit live in mansions?<br />
Our newspapers continuously bombard us with these stories. There are
around five million claimants of Housing Benefit; of which there were
five families who received over £100,000 per year, all living in central
London. The average award of Housing Benefit is approximately £85 a
week. Only 3% of families received more than £10,000 a year support, and
0.04% received more than £30,000 a year. And no-one ever mentions that
housing benefit goes straight to the Landlord and not the claimant.<br />
And those large families screwing the taxpayer? There are around 130
families with 10 children and only 10 families with 12 children IN THE
WHOLE COUNTRY who are on benefits.<br /> Benefit cheats are bankrupting the country?<br />
Benefit fraud amounts to about £1.5 billion a year, less than 1% of the
entire budget. To put this in perspective, the bank bailout equalled
1,000 years of benefit fraud. Meanwhile, £1.3 billion gets underpaid
each year and a further £16 billion goes UNCLAIMED every year.<br /> We can no longer afford the welfare state?<br />
So who is really bankrupting the country? Well, the richest 1,000
people now possess £414 billion between them, a sum more than three
times the size of the entire UK budget deficit. The richest 1% of the
population are estimated to possess wealth of about £1 trillion. The
richest 10% control wealth of about £4 trillion. The Quantitative Easing
programme has increased the personal wealth of the UK’s richest 20% by
enough to pay for Job Seeker’s Allowance for the next 100 years.<br /> The
people of this country are being shafted, but instead of the blame
being directed at the real culprits, the rich, it is being aimed at the
most vulnerable, the poor, with our own Government shamelessly leading
the way.<br /> And every one who believes their bullshit should hang their heads in shame.”<br /> <br /> There’s a storm coming…</span></span></h5>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ParYt0z2d1o/T7wiVDwyXAI/AAAAAAAADSk/Yc4OQMWden0/s1600/greece+on+fire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ParYt0z2d1o/T7wiVDwyXAI/AAAAAAAADSk/Yc4OQMWden0/s400/greece+on+fire.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>1</strong> Scotland would officially be one of the world's
richest countries - ranked 6th in the OECD compared to the UK's 16th
place. We have 24billion barrels of oil remaining in the North Sea,
according to industry body Oil and Gas UK. That's £1.5trillion in
today's prices - half as much in value as has been taken out.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>2</strong> We also have around 25 per cent of Europe's
potential offshore wind and tidal energy - and a tenth of Europe's wave
power. An extra 45 per cent of renewable energy was generated in
Scotland last year, according to the UK Department of Energy. It's more
than we need and can be exported for cash.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>3</strong> Other countries want to invest here. The recent
Ernst & Young UK Attractiveness Survey highlighted Scotland's
leading position in the UK for job creation from international
investment. With independence, we can make the country even more
attractive to these employers.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>4</strong> Independence will allow us to keep services such
as the NHS and the welfare state. In England they are being privatised
and cut. Benefits are being taken from the needy and the Scottish
Parliament can't stop that under present powers.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>5</strong> Scotland has five of the top 200 universities in
the world. We also punch well above our weight in the number of research
papers they produce. It means our historic reputation as a well
educated nation is flourishing. We give our universities one of the best
packages of support in Europe, with no fees for students from Scotland.
With independence we can do even more.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>6</strong> We'll have more money in our pockets. If we got
back what we sent south in tax, official figures show every Scot would
have £510 more a year. The only tax the Scottish Government controls
just now is council tax, and it's frozen under the SNP. Imagine if we
controlled fuel duty, national insurance, VAT and income tax.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>7</strong> Our government would be more streamlined.
Scotland, like Denmark, New Zealand, Norway and Finland, is a goldilocks
country - not too big and not too small. The UK wastes money on bloated
institutions bogged down by bureaucracy - look at HMRC, the tax
authority. It's gone from one calamity to another. The rich get away
with evasion while the rest are overcharged.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>8</strong> Mobiles would work and we'd all get high-speed
broadband. Telecommunications are controlled in London. Westminster
auctions licences to phone companies but only demands 90 per cent
coverage of the UK. This means "notspots" in much of Scotland. Broadband
is patchy too, and it doesn't help that Scotland's capital budget has
been cut by a third by the Tories.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><strong>9</strong> Our culture would get a boost. We'd have control
over broadcasting and more high-quality programmes could be made here.
Our news would no longer look hand-knitted compared with well funded UK
offerings. We could export high-quality drama and our young bands would
have a platform on the radio.</b></div>
<b style="color: #4c1130;"><strong style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">10</strong><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Imagine the goodwill. Scotland is held in high
regard around the world - by those who know us. But being buried in
brand Britain means sometimes we don't get to shine as we should.
Independence would generate global interest. We would be the new kid on
the block - young, modern, and happening.</span></b></div>Dark Lochnagarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086636653505467565noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473450225862196869.post-90136911221483647502012-05-22T21:19:00.000+01:002012-05-22T21:19:18.775+01:00NEW GREEN MODE OF TRANSPORT INVENTED IN SCOTLAND<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b>We have to face up to the fact that we in the UK and more particularly in Scotland, have a big problem with alcohol. When you go to Spain or France the only drunks you see are Brit tourists or occasionally a North European. Some of the scenes in our city centres on a Saturday night are a disgrace. Some people will say that is because drink is so dear that people get hammered in the house before they go out. So should we make drink cheaper? Would that bring in a more responsible attitude to drinking? Personally I doubt it. But, then I suppose you could say that it is much cheaper in Spain where I drink a reasonable wine for £0.65 a litre and Spaniards don't get pissed, even at the football. </b></div>

<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Now I speak as one who has drunk like a fish for most of his life, so I think I might have some input here. I do in principle support minimum pricing but I do believe that £0.50 a unit is too dear. How, if it gets through the courts, can we charge £0.50 when in England, they are looking to bring in a price of £0.40. Ridiculous. And why should we hand the supermarkets a £100 million bonus? Those bastards have ravaged our town centres, turning them into 'tesco extras', charity shops and bookies.

<b>Is it possible to take this money off them and use it to pay for alcohol education for our young? I don't know. But, I will tell you one thing. This is what a responsible Government means to the people of Scotland. The SNP and it could be rightly or wrongly in your estimation had this policy as part of their manifesto despite the fact that Labour, the Tories and the Libdums were against it in the last parliament and they know it will lose them votes, but they have the interests of Scotland's people at heart. Suddenly of course, CamaClegg have decided they are in favour so the Libdums and the Tories have changed their tune. So in other words, they are not interested in the health of the people of Scotland, just in their narrow Unionist policies. Plus ca change as my French brothers say!</b></div>

<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Western 'leaders'. Let's have a look at them:</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="color: red;">America</span>-President Obama was elected by an electorate who wanted change from the fuckwit who was Bush. Under him however, the Bush policies have been followed rigidly. They've still got Guantanimo, shit health care, expensive military expenditure and the electorate are controlled almost as much as in Britain by 'Homeland Security'. The politicians are all in thrall to globalist businesses who fund their campaigns.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="color: red;">France</span>-Sarkozy has gone to be replaced by M. Ordinaire, Hollande. He at least sees the need to stimulate the economy a little to get some demand going but wants to do it by dragging the French economy back to the 1970s.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="color: red;">Germany</span>-The mad frau Merkel, in thrall to the bankers and anti stimulation of the economy, which appears to be the only one in Europe which is working. The Germans always said that after losing two World Wars, they would win the third, i.e. the economic one.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="color: red;">Russia</span>-Putin's grip over Russia is entering it's third five year plan. The country is totally corrupt from top to bottom. </b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="color: red;">Spain</span>-Rajoy holds sway over a nation where more than one in two of young people are out of work. well when I say out of work, I mean official work, because the black economy is endemic in Spain and until he tackles that and pulls out of the EURO so that the vast housing stocks which the banks hold, can be sold off at a realistic price, Spain will never recover.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="color: red;">Greece and Italy</span>-they don't have politicians in charge, but central bankers imposed by the ECB, so they don't count.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Then of course, we come to <span style="color: red;">Britain</span>. A country presided over by two toffs who have at the very least been corrupted by the Murdochs, if it doesn't turn out to be more serious. A country where the much heralded, anti-lobbying bill has been put on the back burner. How many palms have been and are getting greased? Only time MIGHT tell. Cameron, it could be said, would be hard pushed to run a pissup in a brewery and looks to be totally out of his depth. And the solution to Cameron? Are we really suggesting that <u style="color: blue;"><i>Boris Johnston</i></u> should be the Prime Minister. He's a halfwit! It's even enough to make you nostalgic for Gordon Brown!</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<b style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's maybe time that we realise that our type of democracy isn't working and we have to find a better way of running our countries, because at the moment we are on a very slippery slope to financial oblivion or another world war, just to stimulate the World's economies!</b><br />

<b>Today a great Scottish city and many would say the "greatest Scottish city", Glasgow, finally died.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Glasgow was once known as the second city of the Empire. It's engineering capacity and Universities were the envy of the world. It had more parkland than any other city in Europe. Yet, today, after being shit upon from a great height for 60 odd years by a narrow, entrenched, drug taking, corrupt, Scottish Labour dictatorship, they finally made it clear that they are the thick numpty bastards that the rest of Scotland knew they were.</b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>When at last they had the chance to get out from under the socialist jackboot and vote for a superior and optimistic future, fewer than one in three could be bothered to get off their lardy arses and do it. Why not? Was there something good on 'Eastenders', that their Sky boxes paid for, by the rest of us workers couldn't record? Or were they just too thick to stand up for themselves like the rest of Scotland and see what damage has been done to their community over the years by Labour? That is the Labour who have used the tried and tested, 'mushroom' theory of keeping them in the dark and feeding them shit, over the last 60 years. It makes you wonder how many election irregularities will be picked up this time? Aye, but they'll tell you, "my family has always voted Labour since we came from the Irish potato famine/the Ayrshire coalmines/the Great Depression/the General Strike/the siege of Calcutta" and what is it you do now? "Well, I run my own business/I'm a university professor/I'm a senior manager/I'm a company director, etc, etc. Pricks!</b></div>

<b>But browsing through the Murdoch rag that my wife likes to get on a Sunday, I noticed that amongst their 'rich list' was a certain Daniel Radcliffe, an actor I believe of the mature age of 22.</b></div>

<b>Now, I understand that he was some sort of principal character in a number of films about some supposed boy wizard. Never having seen any of them, I can't make a comment about his talent, I think there has been about 6. But, can anyone tell me how the fuck he is now worth £56 MILLION! Yes, I did say MILLION. It's fucking obscene! Now you could say that footballers are overpaid and I wouldn't disagree with you. But at least they have relatively short careers.

<b>So what are his particular talents? He does what the director tells him. His agent obviously makes a pile. He looks, I believe gawky and half witted at least in the early films.

<b>My answer would be fuck all. And the sad part? Struggling families will pay to see his films and idolise him because he was chosen to appear in a number of films. Oh, and her that wrote it? Only ten times more on £540 Million.</b></div>

<b style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The way ahead for energy production, in my estimation will not be Nuclear, Renewables or fossil fuels, it will be by a new process called Muon Fusion, which is currently nearing final testing in Australia by a company called</span></b> <a href="http://www.starscientific.com.au/" target="_blank">Star Scientific Ltd</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>This process which I admit is a bit difficult to comprehend unless you are a scientist, takes seawater and fuses certain atoms together to eventually produce steam which drives turbines. The only waste is an inert gas which won't cause damage to the environment and because it is fusion, rather than fission, is safe and can't be used for weapons.</b></div>

<b>Yesterday,
Greece's central bank governor said his country would have to leave the
eurozone if politicians do not stick to the austerity programme after
the elections due to take place on 6 May.</b></div>

<b>"What
is at stake is the choice between an orderly, albeit painstaking,
effort to reconstruct the economy within the euro area, with the support
of our partners, or a disorderly economic and social regression, taking
the country several decades back, and eventually driving it out of the
euro area and the European Union," George Provopoulos told the media.</b></div>

<b>On
March 23rd this year, Greece signed up to a second, €130 billion loan

<b>Just why has osborne pledged another £10 billion of our money to the IMF, which in turn is supporting the Eurozone.</b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<b style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The IMF is set up to help out individual countries like in Africa to develop their economies. It is not their job to prop up the Euro which is plainly on it's way out. That is why the USA has <u style="color: red;">NOT</u> pledged any more money to the IMF, because it knows when the Euro goes down the tubes as will happen sooner or later, there is a good chance they won't get their money back. I very rarely agree with anything Ed Balls says but this time he is right.</span></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="color: #20124d;">
<b><i>The IMF has a vital role to play in
the global economy and must be properly resourced. But the IMF’s job is to
support individual countries with solvency crises, not to support a whole
monetary union which cannot agree the necessary steps to maintain itself.
The IMF cannot and should not become the de facto central bank of the euro
area.</i></b></div>

<b style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's come to a pretty pass, when a supposed Euro sceptic party is propping up a Euro system that can't survive.
