IS THIS NOT THE JOB CREATION WE NEED?

A man jailed for dealing in cannabis resin worth almost £1m has had £64,000 seized under proceeds of crime laws.

Colin Wilson, from Glasgow, was jailed for five years and seven months in October after he admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis.

Now is this not the type of person we need in a modern Scotland?  Someone who provides a service to people with a need?   Why confiscate money from an entrepreneúr.  Should we not be encouraging this type of person with a new way to make money, perhaps legally.  Maybe selling dodgy double glazing, solar energy or working for an energy company, door to door?  Or would a call centre, McDonalds or washing dishes in an Indian restaurant be more suitable?

Makes you want to be an Indian or a Brazilian.

MULTI-NATIONAL BASTARDS!

So there you are.  Stuck in the wilds of India.  For years your family has eeked out a living making a cheap shoe for the locals, of whom you are one.  You have a certain skill handed down from your father and his father before him, in curing cattle skins and making shoes.  

Then one day, you find out, that no one any longer wants your shoes.  Your children are starving and you can't help them.  Having very little education, you don't know what to do next to keep your family from the breadline.  What has caused this problem?  Well, a multi-national company, in this case Adidas, has started to sell their Reebok trainers locally for $1 per pair.  Yes, $1 PER PAIR!  The same branded shoe which can cost up to $200 anywhere else in the world.

Your customers flock to buy them, of course.  Little do they realise, that they are only cutting their own throats.  Because one day, another multi-national will come in and destroy their jobs or businesses too.  Not only that, but they will try and make you feel as if you should be grateful for it, with stupid phrases like, "every little helps"!

Then with all your local businesses destroyed, your only place of work will be some dingy factory, where due to lack of health and safety rules in an emerging country, you will be poisoned and life expectancy will fall.  Your life will then be influenced by the vagaries of international trade and the next time there's a downturn, the Banksters who control international trade will squeeze and you will find yourself on the streets along with your family, begging for your daily existence in competition with all the other families , instead of being a craftsman with your own little business.

And all because they started buying cheap trainers.

THE UNIONISTS SHOUT ABOUT LONDON'S FINANCIAL CLOUT BUT WHAT HAS IT DONE TO BRITAIN?

CLICK TO ENLARGE

We're often told how much we should be indebted to the City of London's financial clout but looking at the figures above we have the lowest growth in the G20 with the exception of Japan, which had an earthquake and a nuclear disaster!

What that means of course is that thanks to our lax banking system, put in place by Labour, we are basically fucked.  We are falling behind most of the G20's other countries as countries like Argentina, India, Russia and China race ahead.  How long will it be, until their standard of living is higher than ours?

Look as well at the debt figures.  Many of them are much lower than ours which enables them borrow more should they need it to promote growth.  I'm fortunate to bank with an Australian bank, (the Clydesdale), which wasn't allowed to gear up their lending by the Australian government, unlike what happened here.  Their debt ratio is 13.6% of GDP.  Other Western countries like the US are in a similar position, to us, although their growth is higher meaning that they will get out of debt quicker.

So in other words, the country has been bankrupted by the banks as we all knew.  We then bail them out and another part of the bankster hierarchy lends us the money to do it and every time money moves in the world they make money!   Merrily, they fucking laugh!

David Cameron led tributes to the armed forces who "made our country great" at a ceremony to mark the transfer of repatriations of fallen troops to a new RAF base.

The Prime Minister said "we cannot thank them enough" for their efforts and the sacrifices they make. 

That may be true.  I have nothing but admiration for the professionalism of our armed forces, however misguided their actions are, at times.  But then, that is down to their commanding officers and the politicians.  

I often wonder though if your average soldier marching through Afghanistan ever considers, exactly, why he is there?  When you go onto armed forces message boards, there is plenty of bitching about their role, so why then does someone join up?  I don't know, because I have never been in the military although of course my forebears have fought in World wars.  At one time in my earlier years before I had the possibility of exploring what actually is going on in the world, I might have gone 100% for the king and country shite.

Should we be in foreign countries now that we have 'discovered' the rest of the world and everyone in these countries like India, Pakistan and Australia, actually know who and where they are.  Well apart from the Australians, of course.  I personally believe that our armed forces should be deployed to defend Britain, not sent to Afghanistan to build gas piplines.  Don't believe me?  Just Google, Afghanistan, oil and gas and you'll be on the road to discovering the truth!

TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS IN THE UK?

Seven in 10 Britons believe there are too many immigrants in the country, an Ipsos Mori poll showed.

Three in four agreed that immigration has placed too much pressure on public services while three in five agreed that it had made it harder for Britons to get jobs.

Just one in four thought immigration had been good for the economy, the survey of 1,000 people showed.

I don't think there has been too much immigration into the UK, I think it's been the wrong immigrants.

Let me explain what I mean.  Immigrants from the third world, i.e. outside of  Europe, have very little compunction to integrate and adopt the host culture of the UK.  Many are black and whilst this shouldn't make a difference, most of the population of the UK is not.  Many are devoutly Muslim, which is different to the 'Christian' religion of this country.  Their experiences and customs are different to ours.  What tends to happen therefore is that they end up in enclaves all over the country.  Places like Bradford and Blackburn are testimony to that.  In Glasgow, the poorer Asian immigrants congregate around the Allison Street area, until they earn serious money and then they move out to the 'South-Side'.

Left-wingers will tell me, they bring employment.  Er, no!  They tend to employ other Asians who are married off to various family members.  I have experience of some elderly women who have been here for 40 years and can speak no more than six words of English.  

The other argument we hear is that there has been immigration into Scotland for a thousand years.  Well, yes, but from Europe, where the people tend to have a similar culture to us.  Where have you been in Europe that feels distinctly different from the UK, apart from the obvious differences like language.  There is a current case before the courts of a woman who is being barred from bringing her husband over from India, because he comes from a small village, (a cousin) and can't speak English.  She says the ruling is against her human rights.  Well, IMO, it's against our human rights to let her husband in, if he doesn't want to integrate in this country.  She could always go over and join him in India!

As some of you know, I am hoping to emigrate to Spain at some point, (thanks anonymous, it will be good riddance).  Now I don't know whether or not it will work out.  But, I do know one thing it won't be because I'm not willing to integrate into Spanish society.  I'm brushing up my Spanish which I learnt some years ago and fully expect to take part in Spanish traditions, like fiestas.  I don't agree totally with bull fighting, but that's got fuck all to do with me, as is the case with the Roman Catholic religion which I fundamentally disagree with because I don't like any religion.  But, religion is in many ways the thing that makes Spain such an attractive country, so my lips will be sealed!

For too long in this country, immigration has been one of the 'elephants in the room'.  It's time we brought it out in the open and at least discussed it without us being labelled as 'racists' for doing so.

CHRIS HUHNE IS A VERY MISGUIDED MAN!

"

"Families who reject green measures such as insulating their homes should be hit with higher council-tax bills, Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has urged.

The Liberal Democrat minister said he expected ‘enlightened’ councils to favour homeowners who made their properties more energy efficient".

This is not the first time I've heard this prat spouting dangerous 'Libdem green' policies.  Does he imaagine for one second that the emerging economies of China, India and Brazil give a fuck about green issues? He and Clegg are going to bankrupt this country or at the very least hinder the recovery if he burdens businesses with unnecessary taxes.  Money that should be going into promoting employment and growing businesses instead of hindering them!

It hasn't to the best of my knowledge happened here yet, but in Spain whenever a decent size shop shuts, it opens the next week as a 'Chinese Bazaar', selling all types of cheap, plastic shite.  the worst thing is you enter at your peril or you end up with more crap that you will never use, that will end up at the back of your kitchen cupboard along with the microwave poached egg, toasted sandwich and bread makers. 

I suppose when they cost fuck all to make then you can sell them for nothing.  The Chinese don't have any workers' rights, they don't get a pension or disability benefit.  Is that the measure of a civilised society?

  Not in my book! 

UPDATE-I REST MY CASE!

SO NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THE OVERSEAS AID BUDGET IS GOING!

His yacht will cost nearly three times what his country spends on health and education for its impoverished citizens each year.

But Teodorin Obiang is the son of a dictator and the chances are that such considerations won’t unduly trouble him.

He has commissioned a $380million (£233million) super yacht, with cinema, restaurant, bar and swimming pool, it was revealed yesterday.

Because Obiang earns $6,799 (£4,184) a month as agriculture minister of the tiny, oil-rich West African state of Equatorial Guinea, questions are being asked about quite how he could afford the 390ft yacht.

So now you know where you International Aid Budget is going.  As well as going to countries like India, who have space programmes and more nuclear weapons than we have, £13 BILLION, will be going in Aid by 2013.

No one says that people in this country are impoverished like they are in the third world, but we have people sleeping in the streets and pensioners dying of cold every winter.  Maybe a better way of spending the money, would be teaching them about contraception and giving out contraceptive pills and condoms to stop them having huge families that they or their country can't afford.

Who said, "charity begins at home"?

WHY IS BRITAIN GIVING INDIA, 2ND FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY IN THE WORLD, £1BILLION IN AID?

Why is a poverty stricken country, us, giving £1,000,000,000 in aid to India?  They have their own space programme at a cost of £1.7 billion.  Their defence spending of £23 billion would be grabbed by our armed forces, who are reputedly fighting for oil and gas in Afghanistan without proper equipment.

Whilst our economy is faltering, the Indian economy is forging ahead, second only to China in growth.  This is what we elect our politicians to see to and they are patently not doing their job.  Cameron is shutting down all sorts of public facilities from libraries to swimming pools and yet, he can give our money away to countries who obviously don't need it.

What is going on?

INDIAN ROCKET EXPLODES

An Indian space rocket carrying the country's largest communications satellite into orbit has exploded in mid-air, shortly after take off.


Can anyone explain to me why we send £millions to India in aid and they can afford a SPACE PROGRAMME?
