Petrol Prices Hit A New High

by Xavier Connolly

Driving a car has never been so expensive with the price of petrol hitting an all-time high this week of more than Ł1.40 a litre – and there was no reprieve for hard-pressed motorists in the Budget, fuel duty will push up the price further in the coming summer. The cost of petrol now averages 140.20p a litre, with diesel at 146.72p a litre. In August the planned tax increase will add 3.62p a litre, meaning the typical 50-litre petrol refill will cost Ł1.81 more.

To remind you how prices have rocketed, five years ago it a gallon of unleade was 89p for a litre and even in May 2009 the price was sill below Ł1, according to comparison site PetrolPrices.com. It now cost drivers more than Ł68 to fill up a 50-litre tank – Ł3.45 more than it cost a year ago Ł12.30 more than in 2010. Meanwhile, larger cars fout x fours and vans cost up to Ł100 a tank.

Is there any justificaton for this or are the government just soaking the mororist because to fill up the hole in the economy dug by urresponsible state borrowing over the past twenty years?

According to Whatprice.co.uk, the forecourt mark up makes up just 5% of the total cost of petrol, while the cost of oil and production amounts to a further 32% - but of course it’s taxation that eats up the largest chunk, at a hefty 63% of the price you pay a. t the pump.

At 139.67p a litre, the cost of a litre of petrol breaks down into: 57.95p fuel duty, 23.28p VAT, 52p wholesale, 1.5p biofuel content, leaving retailers a margin of 4.94p or less than one percent. Apart from financial traders who take fractions of a percentsge point commission as they move Ł$€billions around, there can be no industry working on such a fine margin. And your local petrol station is not turning ober billions.

Conor Faughnan, director of policy for the AA, is urging the Government to look at the impact of rising taxes on fuel costs, with no sign of these abating. He is right to do so.

“Ratcheting up taxes on fuels, which has been Government policy since October 2008, would be a bad idea for most countries but even more so for us given our dependency,” he said, "this week saw a “Budget Blow-Out”, with the decision to press ahead with the fuel increase in August. The hardship imposed on the consumer and on family budgets ... is extremely serious. We get calls and emails daily from people in near despair because of it. But it is also doing considerable damage to the economy”.

He is right people depend on cars to teavel to and from work and for social activities, the local economies of tourist areas depend on visitors arriving by car to keep businesses going. Whe whole economy depends on cars and delivery vehicles. Ministers make grandiose claims about economic recovery but their actions, based on advice from out of touch academics and scientists, are hamstringing the businesses and workers on whose efforts any recovery depends. It is madness.

With All The Important Problems We Have Why Are We Talking About Same Sex Marriage?

by Profanicus Maximus

Oh for fuck's sake, how sick are all we sane people of hearing about same sex marriage. what the fuck is going on? Anyone who asks the simple question of how gay marriage came to be a massive and bitterly divisive debate in both America and Europe will surely conclude that it is the most surreal and idiotic political issue of our age.

There is no popular deman for a new law as there was here in the UK for changes in abortion laws or decrimnalisation of homosexuality or for abolition of racial segregation and extension of civil rights in the USA in the 1960s; historically, homosexuals and lesbians have not been interested in getting married while transvestites and transexuals have traditionally been despised by gay and lesbian communities. According to a recent opinion poll, 45 per cent of Britons support gay marriage but 78 per cent think that making it legal should not be a political priority. And yet somehow gay marriage has become the issue of 2012 and is now more hotly debated in commentary circles than the economic crisis, immigration, the situation in the middle east, oil prices, food and water supply problems or any other thing affecting humanity.

In spite of all this nothing in the gay-marriage debate makes any sense. For example, gay-marriage rights are presented as a radical rallying cry for the "progressive left on a par with the struggles for women’s suffrage or black civil rights, and yet they’re enthusiastically backed by such superbly un-radical institutions as The Times, Goldman Sachs and David Cameron along with many in the Conservative Party that he leads. Politicians say they must do ‘the right thing’ on gay marriage, neglecting to mention that there has been absolutely no sustained public agitation, no gays or lesbians leaping in front of the King’s horse in the Derby chaining themselves to the railings around public buildings as the suffragettes did, no marches or sit ins in the face of heavily armed law officers as civil rights supporters did, for the right of gay attention seekers to go to church dressed in fancy clothes and put on a big show. Self-elected gay "leaders" present this effort as the logical conclusion to their 60-odd years of campaigning for equality, overlooking the fact that until very recently a great many gay activists saw marriage and the family as problems, and demanded recognition of their right to live outside of those institutions.

So far only the major religions, the Anglicans and Roman Catholics and Muslims have made a stand against the issue. The Catholic Church and Muslims are solidly against, among the Anglicans the issue threatens to cause a schism. Some political commentators have said it is a battle the religions can't win. Maybe so, but it is a battle the progressive left cannot win either. As usual they have allowed themselves to be fooled by the fact that working class voters support the socialist Labour party in general elections into believing the same people will support any policy the Labour leadership champions. Time and again the working class have shown that while their votes can be bought with promises of ever more generous social benefits, they are in fact far more conservative in their outlook than the middle classes. If this change is pushed through there will be a backlash of some kind.

Again, nothing in this debate makes sense. The legal beef about inheritance, which was mostly hyperbole anyway because wills were available to take care of inheritance rights, has been dealt with by civil unions; church marriage is not a right but a privilege granted to church members at the discretion of the congregation or leaders. This is such a relatively trivial concern to risk sundering already strained bonds of community over, and is so unconnected with any political or religious philosophy that it would make as much sense if, tomorrow, every politician and commentator in the land suddenly started talking about how important it is to give women the right to grow full beards or men the right to have babies. (see Monty Pyth Life of Brian lampooning the rights industry - You Tube) There are probably some women who want to grow beards and some men desperate to have babies and who are we to deny them those rights? The public might well support their the extension of such rights to people obviously not capable of exercising them right while also arguing that making it happen should not be government priority of a suitable thing on which to expend tax revenue (some people might well ask why making same sex marriage would cost anything, but to change the legal status of marriage would involve redrafting numerous laws and thus involve the payment of $Ł€millions to law firms, which as anyone who has read John Grisham will know, are expert at hiding money from tax collectors.

Given the surreal nature of the concept of same sex marriage, it is remarkable that so many intelligent people are taking the gay-marriage seriously and saying ‘Yes, I fully support the enactment of this long-traduced historic right’. What they should be doing is asking why gay marriage is an issue all of a sudden and untangling how it came to be a defining battleground in the modern Culture Wars. Because it strikes me that what is happening here is that, under the cover of extending equality, we are really witnessing the instinctive consolidation of a new political elite which is every bit as oppressive and corrosive as the old aristocratic elite, and which, lacking the familiar moral signposts of traditional values and the constraint of noblesse oblige seems determined to impose a new set of moral values of their own devising on the masses. In shot they think they can order human nature to change by passing laws. King Canute has a lesson for them. Canute is misunderstood of course, he was not trying to turn back the tide but showing sycophantic courtiers he could not. The modern Canutes are not so wise, having seen the pseudo - socialist dogmas they favour fail time and again they delude themselves that the failure was due to social engineering policies not being radical enough. The progressive mindset can only ever go further in the same direction.

The reason the gay-marriage issue arouses such passions and is so divisive is because it is not an organic issue that grew from the roots up, but a synthetic issue, an entirely top-down, elite-driven thing. The "liberal" elitists want to be seen to support minorities, to say, "look at me, see how I care about minorities and know what a morally superior person I am." Thus the true driving force behind it is not the force that drives any real or publicly manifested desire for change, for homosexual couples to get married in churches, far less a broader public appetite for the reform of the institution of marriage; rather it is the need of the political and media class for an issue through which to impose its values and thus affirm to itself and advertise its superiority. Gay marriage is not a real issue - it is a cultural signifier, like wearing ribbons and wristbands to show what causes you care about, it is the politics of shallowness, the only way in which the "look at me" generation are able to debate.

Ignore The Media Squealing Like Stuck Pigs, Osborne Has Not Robbed Pensioners

by John de Roe

Forget all the howling coming from left field, the mainstream media and the Liberal Democrat bit of the Coalition. In yesterday's budget, Chancellor George Osborne did not impose a stealth tax on pensioners. What he has done is abolish an age relasted tax allowance for new pensioners. So anyone turning 65 and claiming their pension with get the standard allowance before paying tax of Ł9,200. The raised alowance of Ł10,500 will continue to apply to those already on pensions. Here is what one commentator said:
Existing pensioners will still avoid paying tax on the first Ł10,500 of their income, rising to Ł10,600 for the over-75s, but those benefits will now be ­frozen until the basic personal allowance catches up.
Pensioners groups, it is said, responded with fury. But pensioners groups always respond with fury. I am a pensioner and also a part time financial consultant and I dewal with many pension related queries. In my experience if a chancellor gave pensioners a hundred pounds, oensioners groups would start screaming that it was unfair. What everyone has overlooked here is that the budget raised the basic old age pension that we pay for through national insurance and should all be claiming, even those like myself who are on a good pension from work. I paid into the scheme so why should I not claim my entitlement? So as one of the pensioners who will be hit by the new tax I wil be paying "up to Ł322 a year more" but will be getting Ł275 more in my state pension. Big deal. Pensioners who only have the basic state pension will not be affected as their total taxable income does not exceed the tax free personal allowance nor will people who get disability allowances as those payments are not taxable. Meanwhile the government faces a mega crisis of debt that has been building since the first Labour government after World War 2. There are signs that problem is going to get a lot worse very soon. Good luck to George Osborne with his tightrope walking career. He may not be anywhere near the best Chancellor we have had but if Labour were in power things would be a whole lot worse.

Asprin Cuts Cancer Risk Say Scientists - But They Don't Mention The Buts

The traditional press is full of reports that middle-aged people can significantly reduce their chances of being diagnosed with cancer by taking an aspirin a day for as little as three years, according to new research. This cheap drug, according to Big Pharma shills researchers not only appears to stop cancers developing in the first place, but also prevents them from spreading to other parts of the body, the new work shows.

This is nothing new, herbalists and holistic healers have long been saying chronic inflammation was a cause of cancer and the anti inflammatory properties of willow bark, from which modern aspirin is derived, were know to ancient Greek, Ayurvedic and Druidic healers.

The report claims those who start taking low dose (75mg) aspirin daily in their 60s appear to benefit just as much as those who start taking it earlier.

The studies, presented today in The Lancet, add to the argument that low-dose aspirin should be taken widely from middle-age, said the lead author, Professor Peter Rothwell, of Oxford University's Stroke Prevention Research Unit.

His team found that taking low-dose daily aspirin for between three and five years reduced the chance of being diagnosed with cancer at that time by 19 per cent. Five years or more after starting taking aspirin, the reduction rose to 30 per cent. He said: "These data do push the argument in favour of taking daily low-dose aspirin, particularly if you have a family history of heart disease or cancer.

"We showed previously that daily aspirin substantially reduces the long-term risk of some cancers, particularly colorectal cancer and oesophageal cancer, but that these effects don’t appear until about eight to 10 years after starting treatment.

"The delay is because aspirin is preventing the very early development of cancers and there is a long delay between this early stage and the eventual clinical presentation with a cancer.

"What we have now shown is that aspirin also has short-term effects, which are manifest after only two to three years."

Note that some cancers. Typical scientists evasiveness. Ask a direct question, "Does it prevent cancer?" and you get "Well is may prevent some cancers.

As we get deeper into this report it begins to look like another attempt by Big Pharma to persuade governments that mass medication without consent is a good idea. Previously suggestions that drinking water be medicated with anti - depressants and statins (anti obesity drugs) have been sen off by public opinion.

Unfortunately it looks as if the more fascistic a corporate culture is, the more influence that corporation weilds over government.

The findings also raised "the distinct possibility that aspirin will be effective as an additional treatment for cancer – to prevent distant spread of the disease", he said.

Aspirin, manufactured by pharmaceutical companies has long been hailed for its blood-thinning properties, leading some to argue that it should be prescribed to those who are at a higher risk of heart attack or stroke, even if they have never had one. Strangely the report does not mention the blood thinning and anti inflammatory qualities of garlic which can be grown in a small garden or window box.

Aspirin is being hailed as a real wonder drug: its usefulness (as willow-bark extract, for fever and pain) was known to the ancients; it does appear to have many potential benefits; and yet its mechanisms remain mysterious or at best poorly understood. When it was first synthesised, as acetylsalicylic acid, in the 1850s, it was used as to relieve the pains of "rheumatism", but no one had any idea how it worked. It wasn't until the late 20th century that doctors started to give it to patients as a preventative against heart disease. Researchers started to work out a theory of heart disease that involved some sort of inflammation process and something called C-reactive protein. C-reactive protein is a marker for inflammation: raised levels of it in the blood indicate an inflammatory process. It is also known that the base-line plasma concentration of C-reactive protein predicts the risk of future heart attack and stroke. Taking aspirin reduces CRP levels, and so may also reduce the risk of future heart problems.

Previous studies have warned that aspirin can do more harm than good in healthy people. Scientists taking a more objective view rather than producing the result Big Pharma required have found taking aspirin does not significantly reduce the risk of a heart attack in healthy people, and is no more effective that a healthy diet in preventing many common cancers but that it “almost doubles the risk of being admitted to hospital due to internal bleeding. Routinely prescribed by doctors as a preventative for heart disease and strokes, it's blood thinning effects have proved fatal in some people prone to ulcers or hemorrhaging.

Inflation Falls Again As Government Continue To Talk Bollocks

by John de Roe

Inflation fell to a 15-month low of 3.4pc in February helping ease pressure on cash-strapped consumers and Chancellor George Osborne ahead of Wednesday's Budget.

The consumer prices index (CPI) is down from 3.6pc in January as a drop in prices for housing, lower electricity and gas bills electricity, and cheaper air fare pushed overall inflation down, the Office for National Statistics said. However, the fall was not as much as expected - economist had forecast a drop to 3.3pc - as a record January to February rise in alcohol prices, driven by spirits, held back further declines.

The drop comes as some economists warn that the overall rate of inflation may not pull back as quickly as previously thought amid resurgent oil prices, although the ONS said there was no evidence of this in February. Inflation has fallen steadily since hits a three-year peak of 5.2pc in September.

The official press release reports that in a sign that underlying price pressures are fading as well, core inflation - which strips out volatile components such as food and energy - fell to 2.4pc, the lowest since November 2009.

Meanwhile in the real world petrol has risen from Ł1.35 per litre to Ł1.41 per litre at my local garage, I make that a rise of 4.4% rise inside 2 weeks! And anyone who watches commodity prices will be aware that the price of cereals on the world market is up by 8% this year

My Water charges (another non essential removed from the calculations?) acros the UK have gone up by about 10% since last year.

Inflation certainly isn't falling! As long as inflation is higher than interest rates on savings, and as long as inflation is higher than the annual increase in wages, people are still going to be impoverished.

As long as taxes on fuel are rising, as long as council taxes are rising, as long as prices on energy, water, transport and food are rising, even if only to the level of this fabulous 'inflationary' decrease, people will be impoverished.

Who gave the government their very appetising recipe for cooked books? Look, here's how it works (figures simplified) Increase prices by 15% one year, reduce by 5% the next and bingo inflation has fallen year on year. The fact that you are paying 10% more over the two years means nothing. Politicians and economists must think we the punters are all stupid. Yes, inflation has stoped rising and is falling rapidly. if you stop eating , stop heating your home , walk or ride a bike instead of drive your car, then inflation is ONLY 2.4%. What a triumph for government economic policies.

Pay To Drive Roads To Cover Britain As Tories Become Blue Labour
by Xavier Connolly

There is no doubt that of all the bad ideas the National Socialist government of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown came up with in their 13 year bid to enslave the British people on behalf of their New World Order mates in the Bilderberg Group was the introduction of toll roads that would make it impossible to get anywhere without paying a road toll to a private company as well as road tax and about 500% tax on fuel to the government. My colleague Ian Thorpe worked out that the round trip from his home near Burnley to see his Mum in Morecambe would cost him around Ł100.

It was in effect a blatant attempt by The People's Party to tax the ordinary people on average incomes off the road.

We do not expect such stuff from the Conservatives although I have my suspicions that the Lib Dems have become more Nazi than the Nazis.

It is not the Lib Dems who will today be announcing plans to create swathes of new toll roads all over Britain but Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron.

If the plan goes ahead motorists face tolls and pay-as-you drive schemes on privately owned roads or gridlock on the public network. The Prime Minister will say Britain’s “second-rate” road system desperately needs a huge injection of private-sector investment. It's bollocks of course, what Britain needs is a government that will channel an apppropriate proportion of the stupendous amount of revenue they gain from duty on car fuel into maintaining and improving the road system. Instead, governments of both parties whould rather waste our money on foreign adventures in neo colonialism, vanity projects and sucking up to minorities.

The Treasury, Cameron will say, can no longer afford to keep funding improvements and repairs to motorways and trunk roads.

The plans are likely to provoke an angry response from the public and businesses. The roads could add hundreds of pounds a year to the cost of motoring at a time when drivers and transport operators already face soaring petrol and diesel prices and crippling fuel duties and road tax. Motoring organisations last night warned of a backlash, claiming the move was a return to “18th century turnpikes”.

Advance copies of Cameron's speech released to the press tell us he will say "Why is it that other infrastructure – for example water – is funded by private-sector capital through ­privately owned, independently regulated, utilities but roads in Britain call on the public finances for funding?” Mr Cameron will make clear that “sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and other investors” could build and maintain new roads. He has instructed the Department for Transport and the Treasury to carry out a feasibility study with results expected in the autumn.

Funny he should mention the utility companies that suply water, electricity and gas. They are known as the biggest crooks and rip off merchants in the country. And as we are warned of water shortages and and hosepipe bans everybody knows billionsd of gallons of much needed water leak away through holes in poorly maintained water pipes the untility companies focus their efforts on hiring expensive consultsants to dream up ever more exotic scams for stealing from customers.

Children Failing At Reading Is Child Abuse By The Education System

by Ian R Thorpe
In the latest propaganda spiel from the Ministry of Truth, Education Branch a masterpiece of understatement may be found. The bulletin states that the reading skills of junior school pupils must be improved. Sir Michael Wilshaw, head of the Minis Education Branch said, “One in five primary schoolchildren moving up from primary schools is not ready for secondary school. One in five, 20%. Surely they can't all be affected by that modern plague, dyslexia. Approximately a hundred thousand children a year are leaving primary school not able to access the secondary curriculum.”

How does the government's education Ministry of Truth (MinTru) (Quasi Autonomous Non Governmental Organisation) intend to improveme the situation, apart from burying it under a pile of bureaucratic jargon ? Sir Michael explained: “Teacher training colleges will come under greater scrutiny by Ofsted inspectors for the way they prepare teachers to give reading lessons using the phonic system.”

It will not work any better than any of the politically correct meddling of the past forty years has worked. If it were possible to improve literacy in our schools by introducing the crackpot ideas of Californian cranks, self styled educational psychologists, it would have already happened. Instead we have seen progressive ideas march and in hand with dumbing down. Unless of course the educational establishment woke up one March morning in 2012 a pandemic of illiteracy and said "Fuck me, half the kids in state schools are morons."

This decline of education has been going on for years with examination standards constantly being lowered to mask the extent of the system's failure. Even the education department admits that more than four out of ten children leave school, after 11 years of state education, unable to read and write properly.

Neither the constant chopping and changing in teaching methods nor the sheer incompetence of many teachers is blamed for this scandalous failure. Instead we are given the usual politically correct clichés of poverty, bad home background and single parents and fingers are pointed at, “children on free school meals” and “the very diverse schools population.”

But it is not an impoverished background or social and cultural diversity which causes the failure of so many children to learn to read. It is not class sizes, another familiar excuse, which are the problem. There is no shortage of books, computers and other technological aids not of teachers who waver their degrees in "educational science" at dissatisfied parents as if a bit of paper can make up for their inability you engage the interest of the young. I know I am writing the truth, because I have something with which to compare today’s shocking educational deprivation of our children. Experience.

My first school in the 1950s was Upton Magna Church of England School in a small village in Shropshire. The school had been built in the early nineteenth century and was one large hall in which the different years sat in separate rows of desks. The pupils were diverse, my Dad worked for a national newspaper and was one of the few people in the village to own a car. The other car owners were farmers or professional people. Many of my classmates were very poor, the sons and daughters of agricultural workers their clothes were hand me down, the free.school meals they had were for some all that stood between them and hunger. But those among us who were backward at reading were very few, even Charlie Record who was always destined for remedial education could read aloud from text books when it was his turn. And every day the teacher would read aloud to us from ripping yarns such as Treasure Island or the Hornblower stories or narrative verse; Tennyson and Longfellow were on the menu as was Lord Byron's stirring The Destruction of Senacherib. I can remember, aged seven, being able to recite William, Blake's Tyger, Tyger.

By the age of nine we knew all the parts of speech and could parse sentences, and at eleven we embarked on clause analysis. We were also, those from affluent and poor homes alike, competent at basic arithmetic from which all mathematics stems. Compared with what was achieved in those days of genuine deprivation for some, today’s education standards amount to child abuse.

Education, and particularly that primary education between the ages of five and eleven is vital to individuals and society alike. Once children have the basics of literacy and numeracy they are equipped to educate themselves no matter how idiotic the ideas of "progressives" they will encounter in the secondary school. At Upton Magna school we did not need lessons in diversity or mulicultural studies to teach us how to adapt to accommodate the children of gypsys, itinerants or refugees to came to the area to work on the harvest, fruit picking and later potato picking.

While we continue to sacrifice the education of generations of children to the gods of "progressive" and politically correct thinking we are only emulating the Aztecs whose priests, having failed to persuade their gods to intercede and defeat the Conquistadores could only suggest that the reason the Spanish were still winning was because not enough young people had been sacrificed. It is not just in education however that the "progressives" display this mindset.

The West Is Already Meddling In Syria (and making things worse)

Last week, US president Barack Obama rejected calls for military intervention against the Assad regime in Syria, despite saying he found the situation there ‘heartbreaking’. Yet while there are currently no NATO bombs falling from the skies or US troops’ combat boots on Syrian sand, the pressure being heaped upon Syria to behave in a way that suits the ‘international community’ (aka the West) is palpable. Here are five key ways in which the West is already interfering in Syrian affairs . Well, we have heard many times The President prefers going in through the back door.

Science Defeats Science - Resistance To Antibiotics Could End Modern Medicine

by Ed Butt The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned humanity is entering an antibiotic crisis which could make routine operations impossible and a scratched knee potentially fatal.

Now we should remember that the WHO are the people who gave us the Swine Flu pandemic scare, the Bird Flu pandemic scare both of which were going to kill us all, and also recommended that teenage boys should be vaccinated against cervical cancer. So whether the scientists who lead the WHO are actually barking mad, completely stark raving bonkers in the head, or they are just greedy little bureaucrats who are quite happy to dance to their Big Pharma paymasters' tune in order to keep their grubby noses in the ever flowing trough of taxpayers money we may only speculate.

This article then is about how the latest health scare the WHO is pumping up has come about as a result of following policies recommended by the WHO and Big Pharma. Ironic innit?

Margaret Chan, the organiation's director general warned that humans have become so resistant to common antibiotics it could bring about “the end of modern medicine as we know it.” As a result, she claimed, every antibiotic ever developed is at risk of becoming useless, making once-routine operations impossible. Hyperbole? Well probably, the WHO have a track record after all.

If there is substance in the warning, and similar warnings have been being sounded for many years, the redundancy would include many of the breakthrough drugs developed to treat tuberculosis, malaria, bacterial infections and HIV/AIDS, as well as simple treatments for cuts and septic sores.

Speaking to a conference of infectious disease experts in Copenhagen, Dr Chan said we could be entering into a “post-antibiotic era”. Replacement medicines could become more expensive, with longer periods of treatment required to bring about the same effect, she added.

Dr Chan went on to say: “Things as common as strep throat or a child’s scratched knee could once again kill. Antimicrobial resistance is on the rise in Europe and elsewhere in the world. We are losing our first-line antimicrobials. Replacement treatments are more costly, more toxic, need much longer durations of treatment, and may require treatment in intensive care units. For patients infected with some drug-resistant pathogens, mortality has been shown to increase by around 50 per cent. A post-antibiotic era means, in effect, an end to modern medicine as we know it.”

The warning comes shortly after the World Health Organisation published a new book warning of the “global crisis”, entitled “The evolving threat of antimicrobial resistance.”

It reads: “Bacteria which cause disease react to the antibiotics used as treatment by becoming resistant to them, sooner or later. A crisis has been building up over the decades, so that today many common and life-threatening infections are becoming difficult or even impossible to treat, sometimes turning a common infection into a life-threatening one.”

The paper blames the current situation largely on the misuse of antibiotics, which are not prescribed properly and used too frequently and for too long. The problem is not just in over prescription by medical doctors. Antibiotics are routinely added to cattle, pig and poultry feed to make animals put on weight more quickly thus reducing costs and the time lag from birth to slaughter, resulting in boosted profits.

The WHO paper points to an “inexorable increase in antimicrobial-resistant infections, a dearth of new antibiotics in the pipeline and little incentive for industry to invest in research and development” had led to a need for innovation”.

The WHO has now appealed to governments across the world to support research into the antimicrobial resistance. Ah; more research equals more research grants, more big fat salaries and expensive jollies in luxury resorts for scientists. Right. If we follow the money we always arrive in the same place, greed and self interest city.

Ed Miliband Is Not Running The Labour Party, Who Is

by Ed Butt Not wanting to witness the nauseating spectacle of Cameron and Obama kissing each others arses the Daily Stirrer editorial meeting today decided we would have a look at how things are going in the Labour Party.

We wish we had stuck with Cammy and Bammy. Here's one report we saw:

"On Tuesday, Labour held the weekly meeting of its shadow cabinet. At its conclusion the members filed out into the expansive, and expensive, atrium of Parliament’s Portcullis House. “Everyone broke into little groups of three or four,” said one observer. “They were all there, having follow-up discussions with each other. Except for Ed Miliband. He was left standing on his own with a member of staff. So he just got on the escalator and walked away.” (Dan Hodges)

At some indefinable point during the last few months, Ed Miliband stopped being leader of Labour Party. There was neither drama nor fanfare. No knife-edge votes, or late-night confrontations. Instead, the authority bestowed upon him in Manchester 18 months ago rose early, quietly packed its suitcase, and sloped off into a chill Westminster morning. It didn’t leave a note."

Wither Milliband? Or perhaps, wither milliband! in the imperitive case.

Poor Ed. I do think he's a decent bloke really, just waaaaaaaaay out of his depth. The task he landed himself with, keeping the unions sweet while trying to turn Labour into something capable of being elected and then capable of governing would have been beyond Hercules.

So how will it end? We forsee Ed being despatched to Room 101 where he will have to face the thing he fears most, Len McClusky. After that he may occasionally be sighted sitting alone in the Chestnut Tree Cafe sipping Victory Gin flavoured with cloves.

Free Schools Are Needed To Save British Education But Labour Are In Denial

by Xavier Connelly

Labour Education spokesman and former Liberal Democrat Andrew Adonis has demanded that Labour come out in support of free schools. What Adonis has understood, and what the Labour Party and the Campaign for State Education remain in denial about, is that the state education system is close to collapse. While lefties grizzle about state schools not sending enough bright but disadvantaged children to elite Universities the schools under the control of the state, those teaching the nationl curriculum are not achieving acceptable levels of basic numeracy and literacy. The sysyem it is not producing enough students in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects that politicans and academics obsess about so much.

The system is not doing enough for the gifted and talented pupils pasing through the system, in fact such a culture of anti - intellectualism has been allowed to develop because of politically correct ideas on discipline that to display intelligence or scholarly excellence it to make oneself a target for bullying. Education in the state school system is not equipping school leavers with the skills employers need and which make the pupils employable.

The truth is that our education system is stuck in a time warp, ideas that were shown not to work as long ago as the 1970s still have currency. The education establishment has failed to evolve to meet the challenges of the actual world our school leavers must go out into and compete in. But education is run by progressives and progressives are incapable of acceptin that their pet idea has failed because it is a bad idea. The progressive mindset is no more for turning than the Iron Lady. A more relaxed approached to discipline has ledt to a breakdown of discipline?" they say, "Well obviously that is because we did not relax discipline enough." "Lowering exam standards so pupils are not alienated by failure has resaulted in the bightest pulpils getting dumber? Well we must relax standards even further. The theory cannot be wrong, conservatives have sabotaged it."

When its errors are pointed out the response of the educational establishment is to become hyper-defensive, defend their failed methods and mount a massive resistance to any real change, not on the basis of any rational criticism of weakness in what is proposed but simply on the grounds of it not being politically correct. The establishmen hate free schools for one reason; they wrench power away from those who think they ought to run our schools and place it in the hands of parents or reformers. For too long the only alternative to state schoolst for parents who could afford the fees was to run to private sector.

Education is too important a part of society to be used as a protective compound for the sacred cows of the progressive left.

More EU Rebels Follow Spain In Defying Burssels Diktat.

by John de Roe

Over the course of innumerable crisis meetings European leaders have tried and failed to produce the right result for a glorious photon oppotunity: extravagant triple-kiss greetings, toothy grins, and wistful stares between Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy.

Last Monday night in Brussels however the stage management went horribly wrong: Jean Claude Juncker, head of euro zone finance ministers group, was snapped strangling his Spanish counterpart.

It was all a big joke of course. Luis de Guindos wasn't actually hasrmed in the making of the photograph and Jan Kees De Jager, the Dutch finance minister looming behind him, didn't wade in with fists flying either. But the grim look on Mr de Guindos' face shows he didn't find it all that funny.

Moments before the indident, the eurogroup had approved a €130bn (Ł108bn) bailout package for Greece. After months of wrangling and just a week before Greece was due to default on its debts the deal should have been a cause for an orgy of celebratory plate-smashing.. Unknown to the stage managers, behind the scenes, Spain had hijacked the meeting. In a bluntly worded statement, the eurogroup announced they had agreed to relax Spain's deficit target for 2012 - from 4.4pc set by Brussels last year to 5.3pc.

Spain had won some unscheduled breathing space. But what really angered Juncker was that in winning the concession, Madrid had stirred a radical retaliation of "sinner states" against the northern bloc's push for austerity and central control.

All year Spanish officials have pleaded with Brussels for permission to relax their deficit targets, arguing that Spain couldn't take any more austerity. They felt they had a strong case: Spain's economy is set to contract 1.7pc this year; unemployment, already the highest in the industrialised world, is heading for 24pc; while youth unemployment is already over 50pc. Officials warned Brussels that yet more cuts would be catatrophic for Spain. But the answer was firm and consistent: nein, non, niet: austerity targets were "non-negotiable".

At the beginning of March, leaders gathered in Brussels to entrench these rules in a new treaty. The so-called fiscal pact bound all European countries (except Britain and the Czech Republic who opted out) to keep their debt to GDP ratio below 3pc - or face punishment. Angela Merkel was tickled pink: the deal would last forever, she said.

But with sensational timing, just hours later Mariano Rajoy announced Spain would break the rules, immediately. Because the E U bureaucrats were forced to accept this it opens the way for Italy, Portugal and Ireland to demand the same concession. We are back where we started.

Melvyn Bragg attacks Richard Dawkins' 'atheist fundamentalism'

Broadcaster, novelist and critic Melvyn Bragg has launched a fierce attack on militant atheists and in particular Professor Richard Dawkins, accusing him and those who follow him of “ignorance” and of showing “no respect” for religion.

Bragg poured scorn on the scientists insistence that “reason” can destroy the Christian argument, saying that faith was something that should be examined more closely.

Speaking on Sky Television's The Book Show, Bragg, a non theist himself, defended Christianity and other faiths and accused atheists such as Prof Dawkins and philosopher Alain de Botton of "hitching a ride" on faith.

“Ever since civilisation began people have believed in many gods, one god or none,” he said. “There have also been atheists, people who say that this is unprovable, that there could not be resurrections and reincarnations and miracles. These are all respectable traditions. What’s changed recently is the animus and the ignorance that has entered into the atheist argument, led by Richard Dawkins, most improbably a fine zoologist, a good scholar, Oxford trained, who seems to have thrown everything off in this odd pursuit, particularly of Christianity.”

Bragg argued that reason was not “the primary source of knowledge”.

Limp Wristed Vegetarian Nazi Scientists Want To Take Away Your Steak

Scientists Warn 'Red Meat Can Be Lethal', it is not only unhealthy but can increase the risk of death, according to a major US study.

Now you quickly get to the nature of this science in the line above. "can increase the risk of death". Unscientific, scaremongering BOLLOCKS. We are all going to die, forget the delusional belief among scientists that they can immunise us against death, nobody lives for ever. So the risk of death is 100%, it cannot get any higher, it will not get any lower. Therefore you should read reports of this type of research with the appropriate degree of scepticism.

New research carried out in the USA and published today demonstrates eating red meat regularly, especially processed meats dramatically increases the risk of death from heart disease and cancer. Each additional daily serving of processed red meat, equivalent to one hot-dog or two rashers of bacon, raised the chances of dying by a fifth. Data from 121,342 men and women taking part in two large US health and lifestyle investigations were analysed to produce the findings, published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine .

Now note the vagueness and obfuscatory tactics here. The do not say red meat eaters will die at 60 instead of 80. What they do appear to be saying is that for every ten people who eat red meat, twelve will die. The premise is irrational.

The study claims researchers found that cutting red meat out of the diet led to significant benefits but here again we see the way the issue is clouded in an attempt to manipulate readers. They find a problem with processed meat which in fact is not confined to red meat but, as has been known for years there is a problem with all highly processed foods, red or white meats, fats and they reduce it to appear as it it only applies to the food hate symbol of the limp wristed vegetarian Nazi party ("healthy low fat spreads" are the most dangerous things you can eat apart from the kind of stuff that comes in bottles with a skull and crossbones on the label).

Replacing red meat with fish, poultry, or plant-based protein foods contributed to a longer life, the study says although many other studies have shown vegetarians do not live significantly longer than red meat eater. Nuts are said to reduce the risk of dying by 20% - making a case for swapping roast beef for nut roast.

The studies monitored the progress of their participants for more than 20 years and gathered information about diet. In total, scientists documented 23,926 deaths including 5,910 from heart disease and 9,364 from cancer. Senior author Professor Frank Hu, from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, said: "This study provides clear evidence that regular consumption of red meat, especially processed meat, contributes substantially to premature death.

"On the other hand, choosing more healthful sources of protein in place of red meat can confer significant health benefits by reducing chronic disease morbidity (illness) and mortality."

Funny how the results of these studies carried out by leftie academics always affirm the moral prejudices of leftie academics and serve to advance their control freak agenda, don't you think. When you read that cancer prevention charity the World Cancer Research Fund recommends that people avoid processed meat entirely and limit their consumption of red meat to 500g a week it's easy to see the hand of health fascism at work. In fact the biggest problem we have with western dies now is the result of scientists meddling with so much of the food we eat for the sole purpose of boosting corporate profits. It is not the meat in processed meats, the ground grain in bread or cakes nor the oil in processed fats that does the harm, it is the added chemicals, the colourings, artificial flavourings, preservatives etc. Look at the list of ingredients on a pack of processed meat, a savoury snack, a pack of breakfast cereal. Food is not the problem, science is the problem.

Dr Rachel Thompson, the charity's deputy head of science, said: "This study strengthens the body of evidence which shows a link between red meat and chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. The research itself seems solid and is based on two large-scale cohort studies monitored over a long period of time."

And when you look at the length of time it becomes clear we are not talking about people living ten of five years less on average but a few weeks less. Ah well as the old saying goes, torture data long enough and it will tell you whatever you want it to.

We know that many other studies show there is no higher risk in eating red meat and that such results as are offered by this latest farrago can easily be obtained by manipulating data. Cult of Scienceology followers reading this will accuse The Daily Stirrer of being anti science. We are not, we are anti-pseudoscirntific-bullshit. And we are not the only ones..The study's findings were challenged by Dr Carrie Ruxton from the Meat Advisory Panel , an expert body funded by the meat industry.

She said: "This US study looked at associations between high intakes of red meat and risk of mortality, finding a positive association between the two. However, the study was observational, not controlled, and so cannot be used to determine cause and effect. "The authors' conclusion that swapping a portion of red meat for poultry or fish each week may lower mortality risk was based only on a theoretical model.

In other words, other lifestyle factors that could have ben significant were factored out of the study. And again we see the common preference of modern, politicised scientists for working with theoretical models rather than reality.

Dr. Ruxton went on to point out this study's conclusion conflicts with evidence from controlled trials. She pointed out that meat and meat products were significant sources of essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, selenium, B vitamins and vitamin D. So as these are all essential nutrients following the advice of the report would result in people being malnourished. Gfood work guys.

In the UK, red meat was "critically important" to zinc intake, contributing 32% of the total for men and 27% for women. Red meat also contributed around 17% of total dietary iron intake in the UK.

We give the last word to Dr. Ruxton: "In summary, this paper should not be used to dissuade people from reducing their current intake of red meat when it provides essential nutrients that are required as part of a healthy balanced diet."

TYCOONS, HOOKERS AND OUR COUNCIL FATCATS PARTY IN CANNES

A host of British low life level politicians, town hall fat cats and quangocrats recently four days wining and dining business tycoons and ladies of negotiable affection at the world’s biggest property fair in Cannes, Southern France.

The Coalition government's Minister for Sport, Hugh Robertson was the most senior of politicians and council chief executives who enjoyed a taste of high life usually reserved for millionaires last week while taxpayers protested the closure of libraries, leisure centres, police stations and public toilets at home.

Our tax eaters were among 20,000 overwhelmingly male delegates who jetted to the French resort from all over the world to get their gribby snouts in the trough for the MIPIM property show where hotel lobbies, super-yachts and bars became a magnet for prostitutes cashing in.

The public officials were officially there to woo PFI investors for their pet property schemes, from housing blocks in Bristol to possibilities in the Olympic Park. While some councils funded their trips from public funds, others were on freebies with thousands of pounds of expenses paid by their 'business friends'.

They drank champagne in beachside terraces, strolled in the sun, and partied with bankers, lawyers and architects until the early hours with no sign of any serious work getting done..In the evenings delegates could be seen chatting to the high-class hookers that locals say come to Cannes specifically for the men and money of MIPIM. Luxury catering vans lined the harbour to serve guests on yachts, while restaurants charged Ł80 for Black Angus prime rib and bars hiked the cost of a small bottle of beer to Ł10. Well why not, it's all on expenses, the taxpayers will foot the bill.

It would be far cheaper to erect a marquee in Hyde Park said Sir Edward Lister, the London Mayor's chief of staff.

Another Effing Fiasco


After Last Week's Debt Fix Greece Is In Trouble Again Already

The day after a fix was announched for the Greek economy that incouded private investors including pension funds, schemes for small investors and banks in which people's saving are held, writing off a huge slice of Greek debt, The Daily Stirrer told you the so called fix, hailed by politicians and bureaucrats alike as the final solution, was similar to sticking a band aid on a soldier whose leg has been blown off by an IED.

As usual we were right. The Greek economy is in trouble again already.

The new Greek bonds issued after debt 'restructuring' started trading on today and remain the highest-yielding debt in the Eurozone, highlighting investors fears that Greece's problems were over. Greece issued 20 new bonds to its investors today, with early pricing showing bid yields ranged between 19.4pc on the shortest duration debt maturing in 2023 and 14.3pc on the 2042 bond, Reuters reports.

The debt-plagued nation remains the highest yielding country in the Eurozone with new 2023 bond carrying a 550 basis point yield premium over the closest comparable issues, from Portugal. Analysts said this reflected the investor view that the country faces an uphill struggle to meet the terms of its bailout and was seen likely to need further debt restructuring.

European Central Bank Governing Council member Klaas Knot has called on governments to increase the bailout fund as soon as possible. He adds that Euro bonds could provide a firewall against contagion, but are not suitable as a crisis instrument.

Simon Denham, managing director of Capital Spreads,says:

Investors continue to tread cautiously following the finalisation of the Greek debt swap over the week end and the impending expected official go ahead for the second bailout today. Ever since the sharp declines of early last week investors have been calling into question the sustainability of the rally so far this year and since we’re yet to have taken out the highs of the year following the recovery from last week’s lows, the stuffing seems to have been temporarily knocked out of the bulls.

The main reason for the soft start today is once again China.

This time a week ago their downgrade to GDP forecasts was the catalyst for the sell off along with other worse than expected growth figures from other emerging economies such as Brazil. Today Chinese export growth has disappointed and so the risk on rally is being kept in check.

China’s part to play in the global recovery is crucial and with data like this it fuels concerns about the possibility of a harder landing for their economy than was previously expected. If Europe and the West are not buying Chinese goods at anywhere near the rate that they have been in the past few years, then China’s economy could be in for more headwinds which is one of the biggest threats to global growth right now.

The Elites Are Making A Virtue Of Intolerance

by Frank Furedi in Spiked
Last month, the French Constitutional Council struck a blow for the ideal of a tolerant and open society. It declared that the French government’s new law punishing the denial of the Armenian genocide was unconstitutional and infringed upon the freedom of expression.

The council’s summation was accurate. President Sarkozy’s government had effectively tried to criminalise an idea, albeit a misguided one. It had suggested that tolerance should not be applied to those who deny the Armenian genocide – hence it proposed a law prohibiting it.

Predictably, the government swiftly rejected the council’s judgment. Without a hint of irony it issued a statement ...

Greece Defauts

Not much to comment on today. The Greks have finally defaulted on their debts by getting creditors to write of a huge chunk of their loans to the financiall stricken country. We have reported on the true state of Greek finances and the inveitability of this outcome. Until the details emerge and we can assess the fallout and it's likely effects on British jobs, incomes and our standard of living we can't add to what has already been said.

Faced with the knowledge that Syria, supported by Iran, Russia and China was not going to be a pushover like Libya but more likely a long drawn out bloodbath like Iraq or Afghanistan Obama wimped out.

Trouble in Europe, US and China promises tough times ahead for all of us.

by John de Roe

Economic figures release earlier this week and reported in The Daily Stirrer suggest that far form being over as it was claimed the false growth in economies proved, this great depression 2 has barely begun. So far 2012 has given us a breathtaking recovery in stocks and share prices and asset values. Unfortunately this is totally out of line with the economic realities in Europe, USA and China. The markets have existed for so long in a state of panic they are nearning breakdown and displaying symptoms of insanity.

Your Daily Stirrer commentators have been accused of pessimism but there is nothing pessimistic about being realists. Realists make decisions based on evidence and thus are better equipped to deal will whatever circumstances arise. Optimists dismiss the unpleasant aspects of reality and thous are caught unawares and totally unprepared when it sneaks up and bites them on the arse..

It is not just The Daily Stirrer that has spooted the latest iceberg to loom on the horizon. Graham Secker from Morgan Stanley said it is rare for global stocks, oil prices and government bonds to rise in lockstep, and such exuberance becomes a "very reliable sell signal for stocks" once speculators join the party.

Equity long positions on NASDAQ have reached 1.5 standard deviations and long bets on oil are at an extreme of 1.9, according to data from the Commodity Futures Exchange Commission. This is happening at a time when yields on 10-year US Treasuries are still at 1.96pc, signalling depression, deflation, or both.

The historical relationship between bonds and equities has completely broken down over the past six months. "You can't have a sustained period where equities are going up, while bond yields are flat or trending down," said Mr Secker. One or the other must give, and the players have no doubt which it will be. Fund manager John Hussman said the market is replicating the "extreme" conditions seen at danger moments in 1972-1973, 1987 and 2007-2008. His warning indicators include a rise in the S&P 500 index by more than 8pc above its 52-week moving average, a "Shiller price/earnings ratio" above 18, and bearish sentiment below 27pc.

America's Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI) said its analysis indicates "pronounced, persistent and pervasive" signs that the US economy is sliding back into recession.

Fed chair Ben Bernanke warned last week that the US faces a "massive fiscal cliff" at the end of 2012 as tax cuts expire and the axe falls on $110bn of spending due to "sequestration". Medicare taxes also kick in. "All those things are hitting on the same day, basically. It's quite a big event," he said.

It is far from clear that the US economy is strong enough to withstand such fiscal drag. "Every time the US economy falls below the stall speed at 1.75pc it falls into recession: we have now been below that for the last three quarters," said Albert Edwards from Societe Generale.

"To me this feels no different from the start of 2011 but with one major difference. Profits are sliding instead of rising robustly," he said. The 12-month "forward earnings" data have peaked, replicating the pattern seen at the onset of the bear market in 2007.

Mr Edwards says the "Ice Age" cycle in America and Europe is still playing out much as it did in Japan after the Nikkei bubble, with each rally overpowered by the crushing force of debt deleveraging."

China's, premier Wen Jiabao has downgraded the country's growth forecasts to 7.5pc. It is far from clear whether the Politiburo can navigate a soft-landing after the kind of prolonged boom the Cinese economy has enjoyed. R&F Properties said house sales for China in the first two months of this year were down 40pc from a year ago, and prices fell 22pc.

Nomura said China's electricity use fell 7.5pc in January from a year earlier, implying a sharp industrial slowdown. The bank said the country has already reached "peak steel", with its steel production index crashing to 39.4 in February.

Dong Tao at Credit Suisse said "We believe the golden age of infrastructure investment is behind us now. The golden age of the housing boom is behind us now. The golden age of export is behind us now. The golden age of policy stimulus is behind us now. The Shanghai stock market has been signalling trouble for a long time, falling more than 60pc from its peak in late 2007. What is odd is that the bourses of countries that feed on China's commodity boom have not followed the trends of the feeder economy.

On top of all that consumers around the world are cash strapped and maxed out. There is still a lack of demand in the global economy as consumers stubbornly ingnore government exhoirtations to take on more debt, stat spending and kickstart domestic economies. So many individuals have sucjh a huge burden of debt they cannot see a way out of their sitiation. In Asian people nevrer bough in to the cosumer dream but, remembering hsard times are never far away, hoarrded money. The Asian "savings glut" is still with us. The East has not filled the vacuum left as the debt laden West tightens it belt. Liquidity has masked the deeper crisis, and flattered asset prices. The cancer has been fed by stimulus and printing money, the tumour is still growing..


Federal Exchange Ignores The Goal Posts, Moves The Stadium.

The US central bank, the Federal Exchange, in calling for another round of stimulus is operating a policvy of devaluation by stealth. Meanwhile the international finance community and global government agenda people like the EU commission and the Bilderberg group, while supporting the Fed are moving on a more sinister agenda.

Reall all:

Dementia is "next global health time bomb"

Dementia should be made a top health priority on a par with cancer and lung disease, a leading expert has said, adding it has become the next global “time bomb”.

Well The Daily Stirrer reported on the 'age timebomb' over a year ago so again it is nice to see the 'experts' catching up with us old gits who really know what we are talking about.

Professor Peter Piot, former Under-Secretary General of the United Nations, compared dementia to the AIDS epidemic and said one person is diagnosed with the mental illness every seven seconds. The population of sufferers, which currently stands at 36 million, is set to double by 2020 worldwide. He is now calling on the World Health Organisation to add dementia to their list of top priority diseases to fund research and treatment across the globe.

In saying: “It’s not adding years to your life, but life to your years," the professor hits the nail on the head. Scientists are obsessed with numbers and this has led to them aiming at the wrong target. Instead of focusing on prolonging life by any means possible rather than prolonging the quality of life they have created two problems rather than solving one. Dementia is a horrible degenerative condition and in the worst cases ends in people not only not recognising family members but not even knowning who they themselves are. Prolonging a life only to condemn a person to that fate is not an achievement, it is an act of selfish cruelty.

The second problem is the cost. We all know the state of the global economy and latest data shows ever the Chinese economic powerhouse is feeling the effects, while European nations, crippled by unsustainable bills for their overgenerous welfare systems are collapsing under the burden of sovereign debt. Providing personal care and medical services for people who are unable to do even simple things for themselves is already a huge charge on government revenues and can only increase. As well as dementia, heart and lung problems, diabetes and cancer are adding to the problem of looking after the old.

Despite his calls to improve diagnosis, Prof Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, admitted it may not always be ethical to diagnose dementia in parts of the world where treatment is not yet available. He told BBC Radio4’s Today programme that developing countries in Asia and Latin America were seeing the greatest rise in dementia sufferers, as better healthcare led to people living longer. He added: “The figures speak for themselves. We are really going into the next global health time bomb.

“I have worked for the last 30 years on AIDS. It was a time bomb several decades ago and it’s still not over.

(This is something of an exercise in fearmongering. Outside Africa AIDS has not really broken out of the gay and intavenous drug user categories. There are good reasons for that but to mention them will only get us branded racist and homophobic.

We only have reliable figures for the UK but the problem is global.

The National Health Service is setting aside as little as 10p per day to treat each patient with dementia, it has emerged in the wake of concerns about the age timebomb and its social consequences. One in every ten of the trusts investigated has even reduced their level of spending, in a situation condemned by a leading campaign group as an "embarrassment. One primary care trust, Nottinghamshire County, has admitted spending just Ł38 a year for each patient with the illness. These figures, revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, have been described as a "recipe for disaster” by charity the Alzheimer’s Society.

”Three quarters of British health trusts have refused to increase their funding for dementia care, despite government calls to make it a priority. This is because they a in a Catch 22 situation. If they don't care for patients they will have their funding reduced but if they fail to hit their financial targets because they have put patient care ahead of controlling the budget they will have their funding reduced. However, it is harder to prove dereliction of the duty of care than poor accounting standards.

Under government guidelines, NHS Trusts are required to prioritise dementia patients, with Primary Care Trusts being given extra funding to invest in services and treatment. Today 36 million people are living with dementia according to WHO figures. Experts expect to see this doubling by 2020. A note of caution here however. The World Health Organisation are the fear and panic merchants who gave us Swine Flu and many other plagues that were going to kill millions but never materialised. The staff of the World Health Organisation are tax eaters and want to keep their grubby snouts in the trough.

Even so, common sense, always the most reliable measure, tells us that as the proportion of old people increases the problems will only get worse. We don't need not old people, if people are lining longer we need to extend youth and middle age.

The root of the problem is medical science has put so much time and effort into keeping the physical body going (transplants, drugs etc) but the brain is still setup for three score years and ten because little or nothing has been achieved to increase it's longevity. Its another case of scientists having an intellectual wank and not pausing for one single second to think about the consequences of what they are doing.

Three stories on the disintegration of the Eurozone

It's all happining in the Euro zone this week.
Stock markets fell today on worries over slowing growth in China and Europe, amid increasing tensions in the eurozone with the Dutch and Spanish challenging the Franco-German view and the risk of a Greek default and lousy economic figures from Greece and Italy.

The eurozone slush fund known as the European Financial Stability Facility, sold €3.44bn of three-month bond on Tuesday with a bid-to-cover ratio of 2 (info), Bundesbank data showed. This is less than in December when the cover was 3.2.

The main thing worrying investors and traders is the increasing likelyhood of a messy Greek default and exit from the EWuro single curency system.

Just to remind you of the Greek bond deal cuurently on the table:

• The steering committee of Greek creditors, which includes 12 major investors in Greek bonds (20pc) and was involved in drawing up last month's landmark deal, said on Monday it would accept the bond swap offer. The 12 are: Allianz, Alpha Bank, Axa, BNP Paribas, CNP Assurances, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Eurobank EFG, Greylock Capital Management, ING Bank, Intesa San Paolo and National Bank of Greece.

• Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos has warned the bond exchange was the best deal holders of Greek debt would get and that he would not hesitate to activate laws forcing losses on bond holders who did not willingly sign up.

• Bond holders have until 2000 GMT on Thursday to accept the offer of new bonds, which have a longer maturity and pay a lower rate of interest, for their existing ones.

With just three days to go until holders of Greek debt must decide whether to accept a bond swap and accept losses of up to 70pc and many creditos digging their heels in, the Institute of International Finance has warned that a disorderly default could cause more that €1 trillion of damage to the eurozone, Reuters news agency reports.

Reuters has obtained a confidential document from the IIF - the body that negotiated the debt deal with the Greek Government. The news services quotes from the document dated February 18 and marked IIF Staff Note: Confidential:

There are some very important and damaging ramifications that would result from a disorderly default on Greek government debt. It is difficult to add all these contingent liabilities up with any degree of precision, although it is hard to see how they would not exceed €1 trillion.

In the document the IIF also warns that if there is a disorderly default Spain and Italy are likely to need a rescue.

As we reported yesterday the Spanish government has already thrown down a challnge to the Merkozy concensus on saving the Euro. Spain's sovereign thunderclap could signal the end of Hausfrau Merkel's single nation Europe dream. Her's what Daily Telegraph blogger Ambrose Evans-Pritchard said on the subject.

The Spanish rebellion has begun, sooner and more dramatically than I expected ... Taking what he] called a "sovereign decision", the Spanish Prime Minister simply announced that he intends to ignore the EU deficit target of 4.4pc of GDP for this year, setting his own target of 5.8pc instead (down from 8.5pc in 2011).

In the twenty years or so that I have been following EU affairs closely, I cannot remember such a bold and open act of defiance by any state. Usually such matters are fudged. Countries stretch the line, but do not actually cross it.

With condign symbolism, Mr Rajoy dropped his bombshell in Brussels after the EU summit, without first notifying the commission or fellow EU leaders. Indeed, he seemed to relish the fact that he was tearing up the rule book and disavowing the whole EU machinery of budgetary control.

He is surely right to seize the initiative. Spain’s economy will contract by 1.7pc this year under his modified plans and unemployment will reach 24pc (or 29pc under the 1990s method of counting). To compound this with manic fiscal tightening – and no offsetting devaluation – is intellectually indefensible.

The study said the eurozone cannot survive in its current form. The longer Europe’s politicians dither, the more costly it will become. "The euro can only survive if it becomes a fiscal transfer union with national sovereign debt subsumed in eurozone bonds," said co-author Charles Dumas.

So the new fiscal responsibility pact signed on Sunday by 25 of the 27 EU leaders (Britain and the Czech republic opted out) has crashed and burned within 24 hours.

Greece would like opt for a "negotiated exit" later this year, once the pain of austerity becomes to great to bear, but the country's creditors may not be willing to let things go on that long. Greece's exit will certainly be after the French elections in May, but before the German electoral season begins in 2013

Greece faces a stark choice about how to return to growth. It can continue along its current path of endless austerity aimed at engineering an internal devaluation. This option would probably involve a decade of depression and is therefore likely to be politically untenable.

The alternative to internal devaluation is for Greece to default and abandon the common currency. A new drachma would depreciate massively, boosting Greece’s competitiveness almost overnight.

She says "bright, young Greeks" are waiting to form "new political movements, untainted by the parties that have gone before. When she asked when this would happen, one young man told her:

We are all on the sidelines waiting for Greece to hit bottom. We do not want to mobilise and get involved now, because the house of cards could come crashing down on top of us. We will wait until the collapse has happened and then we can finally start rebuilding anew.

Greene adds that a Greek default and exit could signal the turning point that a desperately needed new political class is waiting for.


Dutch Freedom Party pushes euro exit as €2.4 trillion rescue bill looms

right wing Dutch Freedom Party has called for the country to quit the Euro Single Currency and return to the Guilder. It has thus become the first political movement in the eurozone with a large popular base to opt for withdrawal from the single currency. The True Finns, part of the ruling coalition in Finland are also anti Euro and opposed to further integration but have not called for Finland to quit the Euro yet.

Speaking in Amsterdam yesterday Geert Wilders, the leader of the right-wing populist party with a sixth of the seats in the Dutch parliament said "The euro is not in the interests of the Dutch people. We want to be the master of our own house and our own country, so we say yes to the guilder. Bring it on."

Mr Wilders made his shock statement after receiving a report by London-based Lombard Street Research concluding that the Netherlands is badly handicapped by euro membership, and that it could cost EMU’s creditor core more than €2.4 trillion to hold monetary union together over the next four years.

"If the majority in The Hague disagree with our report, let them show the guts to hold a referendum. Let the Dutch people decide," Mr. Wilders said.

The Freedom Party is not part of the coalition but the minority government of Mark Rutte relies on Freedom Party support to pass legislation. The two men were in talks on Monday on €16bn of fresh austerity cuts needed stop the budget deficit jumping to 4.5pc of GDP.

The Netherlands is beginning to show signs of increasing frustration at the their loss of sovereignty and fiscal independence as the euro debt crisis escalates. The Dutch Freedom Party has called for a return to the Guilder, becoming the first political movement in the eurozone with a large popular base to opt for withdrawal from the single currency.

Meanwhile in France as suport for President Sarkozy crumbles ahead of April's presidential elections, Marine le Pen, leader of the right wing National Front is steadily increasing her rating.


European recovery rocked by poor economic data in Spain and Italy

Hopes that Europe is on the road to recovery were trashed as poo economicr data from heavily indebyed Spain and Italy helped send stock markets around the world lower.

A key gauge of private sector performance across the eurozone showed business activity contracted in February after showing tentative signs of growth in January. Markit's eurozone composite PMI fell to 49.3 – revised down from an initial reading of 49.7 – from 50.4 in January, where anything below 50 shows a contraction.

This data suggests the region is slipping back into recession. The news pushed markets lower, with the Ibex in Spain down 1.3pc and Italian markets 0.7pc down.

The data also heightened concerns that the austerity measures forced on Italy and Spain by European policymakers are merely serving to kill growth in already hard-hit countries. Markit said its reading for Spain's services sector, which accounts for 70pc of the economy, fell from 46.1 to 41.9, against forecasts for a decline to 45.9.

The services sector in Italy fell from 44.8 to 44.1, with employment shrinking at its fastest rate since July 2009. The Bank of Italy predicted the country's economy was set to shrink by 1.5pc this year.

"It will put a dent in hopes that the fourth-quarter contraction was a one-off for the eurozone as a whole but the most worrying development is the continued weakness of the southern European measures," said Ben May at Capital Economics. "The European Central Bank is going to be setting policy for the region as a whole and not for individual economies and it is likely that policy is going to be less accommodative than, say, Spain or Italy would choose."

With three days to go until holders of Greek debt must decide whether to accept a bond swap and accept losses of up to 70pc, the Institute of International Finance has warned that a disorderly default could cause more that €1 trillion of damage to the eurozone. The IIF also warns that if there is a disorderly default Spain and Italy are likely to need a rescue.

So, the politicians have the debt crisis under control and everything is hunky dory then? Yeah, right.

You didn't really think it would stop at Greece did you - Spain's debt causes worry

by Ed Butt

News today that Spain risks being fined under new EU rules for a "grave" breach of budget limits, the European Commission warned on Monday, despite Jose Manuel Barroso stating that he was confident it would fulfil its commitments.

European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso has told reporters that he is confident that Spain will respect the EU's new budget rules, despite the country's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy increasing the country's deficit target to 5.8pc in 2012, from its original 4.4pc goal.

A relapse into recession pushed Spain's budget deficit to 8.5pc last year, far above the 6pc target.

Commenting on the 2011 "slippage", Mr Barroso told reporters:

We still need some more information about the reasons for the slippage [...] I have no doubt that the government will honour its commitments regarding the stability and growth pact.

Mr Barroso's comments came as the spokesman for Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn described the 2011 slippage as a "grave" breach of budget limits.

Leaders took part in a signing ceremony of a new EU fiscal compact on Friday, which will allow tougher Brussels scrutiny of budgets. The fiscal compact was signed by all 27 EU leaders, apart from the UK and Czech Republic.

The European Court of Justice will have the power to fine countries up to 0.1pc of GDP if they fail to stick to the new rules.

Well that's really going to help when they're already broke.

Despite The Debt Crisis Euro Nazis War On Democracy Goes On

by Ed Butt

While we are on the subject of the EU's creeping fascism, Bruno Waterfield has also posted an interesting comment on Sp!ked, where he argues that the EU is doing everything it can to ensure that Ireland's referendum on the new "fiskalpact" is stitched up before a vote is cast:

It has been little noted, but the treaty text contains an innovation, described by European diplomats as ‘a very unusual step’. As opposed to all other EU treaties, the fiskalpakt will enter into force when only 12 out the 17 Eurozone member state signatories have ratified it.

[...]Once upon a time, the EU operated on the principle that its rules must be agreed by all its members, through democratic ratifications held according to national principles. Today, individual nations and popular votes cannot be allowed to stand in the way of the EU, which is emerging as the instrument by which elites pit their statecraft and institutions against changing European societies.

[...] Even the previously euro-friendly François Hollande, the grey French Socialist leader, has become too much for the EU establishment. There have been reports of murky (and completely backfiring) pacts to sabotage his bid to win the French presidency. His crime is that he wants to renegotiate the same treaty that Ireland is voting on. France, one of the most powerful EU countries, is creating more ‘nervousness’ than Ireland, senior EU officials have told me. ‘If he wants to significantly renegotiate the pact on debt brakes or sanctions then that will stop the process of ratification in a number of countries. The French elections are a big worry for Germany’, said the senior European source.

You may remember last time there was a vote on a change in EU rules that affected the sovereignty of member nations, Irish voters, the only elctorate to be allowed an opinion due to their contritution's clauses on national sovereignty, voted the proposal, The Lisbon Treaty, they rejected it. The Treaty was a thinly disguised version of the European Constitution, a document which would have trodden the sovereignty and cultures of member states into the mud of the first world war battlefields where so many millions died. The European Consitution had previouusly been thrown out by big majorities in France and The Netherlands with referenda in the UK, Germany and Sweden set to follow suit.

The smooth faced bureaucrats are not really in denial about the fact that further integration of nations is deeply unpopular with ordinary people eerywhere, they are now confident enough to openly display the contempt for democracy they have previousluy kept hidden.

RBS raises mortgage rates as Halifax prepares to follow suit

by John de Roe

The Daily Stirrer has repeatedly warned that an increase in interest rates must be imminent and of the consequences that would have for millions of financially hamstrung families stuggling o survive from month to month. Loss of the lifebelt of low interest rates, mortgage experts have warned, will plung them into povrerty, have a deflationary effect on the economy as spending is further curtailed and cause house prices to collapse.

The Halifax which was Britain's largest mortgage lender before the credit crunch led the way in preparing for an increase in m,ortgage rates with RBS quickly following suit. The Halifax has written to borrowers telling them that it was increasing the cap on its standard variable rate (SVR) from 3 percentage points above Bank Rate to 3.75 points in three months' time.

If it then moved its rate up in line with the cap, around a million borrowers would end up paying 4.25pc on their mortgage as opposed to 3.5pc. While the lender said its move was not a definite indication that it would raise rates, mortgage brokers are sceptical and suggest the move would come sooner rather than later for a million Halifax borrowers. What's more, rivals are likely to follow suit, they said.

Ray Boulger of brokers John Charcol said: "There would have been no point in incurring the negative PR from this move if there were no plans to increase the SVR in the near future. Any borrowers currently paying 3.5pc should expect an increase soon after March 31."

Stuart Gregory of Lentune Mortgage Consultancy, who used to work for Halifax, said he expected to see a "chain of events" whereby other lenders also increased rates. "Once one does it, the others see it as an opportunity," he said.

Indeed, just 72 hours after Halifax's cap increase was uncovered (it didn't make a formal announcement), Royal Bank of Scotland raised rates on three mortgage products. The rate on NatWest and RBS lifetime offset trackers rose by a quarter of a point to 4pc, while customers of the One Account, also owned by RBS, saw a similar increase on two products.

Mortgage providers have complained it is costing them more to raise money in the markets than they can make by lending it out. The Daily Stirrer has warned that The ban of England and other centrat bank's policy of keeping the bsase rate suicidally low (at 0.5 per cent - a move which was justified by the claim that it would get stagnant economies moving but which has completely failed to do so,) was eventually going to have a detrimental effect.

If you think the austerities of the past four years have been tough, as the man in the first talking movie said, "You ain't sen nothin' yet.

The disappointing news was that the UK economy grew only 0.5pc in the first quarter of 2011, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed. This rate of expansion in economic activity does no more than offset the 0.5pc contraction in the final quarter of 2010. “Excluding the impact of the snow in December, the preliminary GDP figures suggest that the economy has ...

Inflation The Big Threat To Recovery Today's report highlights the concerns of business leaders who, while supporting the coalition goverment's austerity measures aimed at controlling the rinaway public sector deficit are worried that inflation and the crisis in the euro zone may still derail the economy.


Oil A Bigger Threat Than Greece

"With Greece and Syria fading (temporarily) from the headlines, the financial world has quickly found something new to fret and fuss about thanks to the recent surge in oil prices," Stephen King, HSBC's chief economist said. "If the trend persists, a fragile economic recovery in the developed world could quickly be derailed and inflation could return to emerging markets."

Mr King said that investors should be overweight in energy shares as "insurance" and foreign exchange investors should buy currencies of oil-producing countries such as Norway, Malaysia, Brazil and Russia.

Other analysts agree. "A rapidly increasing oil price is beginning to threaten prospects for recovery and better growth," Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodity analyst at Swedish bank SEB, said. "Paradoxically, recent rises are largely due to improving economic sentiment but also tight supply. In addition, outstanding geopolitical issues present further major upside risks," Mr Schieldrop added.

Brent crude surged to $128.40 a barrel on Thursday, the highest level since July 2008, as reports of a pipeline fire in Saudi Arabia spooked markets already concerned about brinkmanship with Iran over its nuclear programme. There have also been supply disruptions in Syria, Yemen and South Sudan.

However, prices eased on Friday after Saudi official denied the reports, which started in Iran. Brent crude closed down $2.55 at $123.65.

The Daily Stirrer thinks this is just the usual fear and panic that drives the markets. The price spike will soon level. Long term the price of oil is going sky high unless somebody removes Barack Hussein Obama from the equation or the other western leaders grow backbones and bollocks and at risk of being called "racist" tell the childbrain in The White House that his warmongering and political meddling in the middle east is harming western economies and can only prolong the economic lump we are now in.

W

hat purpose does that jug eared streak of piss think can possibly be served by imposing oil sanctions on Iran when the Chinese are ready and willing to buy up all the oil the Ayatollahs can pump? Obama's childish petulance can only raise the price of oil in the west, and with it the price of everything else we use or consume.

Almost Half Of English Adults Are Poor At Maths

by Xavier Connolly

A report from a new educational charity says almost half the adults in England have a poor understanding of maths.

National Numeracy claims it has discovered that 17 million people in the country struggle with mathematics. Many of them have an understanding of numeracy equivalent to that of a primary school pupil.

The number of innumerate adults in England has risen by up to two million in eight years and there is evidence this is having a major effect on the individuals and the UK economy.

Chris Humphries, the chair of National Numeracy, told News Services: "That's a scary figure, because what it means is they often can't understand deductions on their payslip, they often can't calculate or give change. They have problems with timetables, they are certainly going to have problems with tax and even with interpreting graphs, charts and metres that are necessary for their jobs."

He added: "It does matter, poor numeracy seriously blights an individual's life chances. Young people with poor numeracy are twice as likely to be excluded from school, we know adults with poor numeracy are twice as likely to be unemployed. It is simply inexcusable for anyone to say 'I can't do maths'. It's a peculiarly British disease which we aim to eradicate. It doesn't happen in other parts of the world and it's hitting our international competitiveness. With encouragement and good teaching, everyone can improve their numeracy."

Unlike poor levels of literacy, it seems many people are not even concerned about their lack of basic numeracy. Only 56% of those questioned were embarrassed about their poor maths skills. The charity is hoping to address the problem, encouraging those of all ages to improve their poor levels of numeracy.

Jan Dawson, who teaches maths to adults at Bournville College in Birmingham, is one of those trying to do something about the problem. She told a television news reporter many people are turned off maths while still at school.

"Invariably they're quite anxious about maths. They've had bad memories of maths from when they were at school but very often they will leave here and say that was great I understand, the penny has dropped," she said. Many of the mature students in her class have decided to brush up on their maths after realising their lack of knowledge has held them back.

Louise Galvin has a 13-year-old son and until recently she would worry when he asked for help with his maths homework.

"My son's got autism but he's very good at maths. Sometimes he comes home from school and I find his homework really shocking because it's tough for a 13-year-old, but now I can help him with it because I understand it better," she said.

Those involved in the new campaign believe too many people see maths as a geeky subject and a lack of ability at maths as a "badge of honour".

Speaking on Sky News television personality Johnny Ball, famous for popularising maths and science in TV programmes in the 70s and 80s, said the curriculum and the way maths was being taught were letting children down.

He said: "Teaching standards are not really strong enough in so many schools."

Wider studies have shown show that the UK lags behind other nations in the subject. In 2006, Britain was ranked 17th out of 30 developed nations measured by the proportion of people with low or no qualifications. Some 35% were considered to be at that level - double the number of countries such as the United States, Canada, Germany and Sweden.

The Daily Styirrer says maths geeks teaching maths are the problem. They can't get over the idea that one someone explains the magic of quadratic equations or differential calculus to them they will become as geeky and enthusiastic about the subject as their teachers (and quite possibly develop the same kind of personal hygiene issues).

There is too much focus on the abstract aspects of maths. The universe may well be an eleven dimensional dodecahedron (or whatever shape the geeks say it is this week. It does not affect my life in any way nor does it interest me in the slightest. I suspect most people feel the same.

Arithmetic and basic geometry and algebra are all most of us will ever need. Let the calculus and trigonometry come in later if it is approprate to a pupils likely course in life rather than boring them out of their minds and alienating them from not just maths but education in general.

FOOTNOTE:
When this report talks about "the mathematical abilities of a primary school child" it is necessary to put the statement into perspective.

A few years ago the television series show "That'll Teach Them" recreated a 1950s grammar school. The assembled kids were told they were going to sit a 1950s O level Maths exam. All the examinees were on target for an A or A star- GCSE, and so were regarded as mathematical prodigies. They sat the exam- the results were dreadful- nearly all had failed very badly except a couple who had done extremely well. Then the 1950s teachers delivered the sucker punch, this was not a 1950s O level Maths paper- it was a 1950s Eleven Plus paper in arithmetic!

It is almost certain the people involved in the test got their A passes and better in GCSE, so who in government cared, the Gods of stastistics were honoured.

Why The Fuss About The NHS Bill? The NHS Has Been Privatised For Years

by Ian R Thorpe

While the Trotskyite activists of The Labour Party wail and gnash their teeth of the Coalition government Health Secretary Andrew Lansley's NHS reform bill which they claim will effectively privatise the grreat sacred cow of the Labour movement, I would like to help you avoid being sucked up in the hysteria. Take a look at this.

“If you take the National Health Service for example, 90 per cent of all patient journeys begin and end in our primary care system, with our family GPs. They are all privately run businesses. They are small businesses and those GPs – quite rightly so – make a profit from their work with the National Health Service.”

Who do you think would say such a vile thing? David Cameron? George Osborne, Maggie Thatcher? Eberneezer Scrooge? Shylock? Beelzebub?

Was it some free marketeer preaching the virtues of the private sector? A Right-of centre think tank trying to debunk the Left’s demonising of the profit motive inside the NHS?

Any of these might seem like reasonably safe answers. And they are all way off target. It was John Hutton – now Lord Hutton – speaking in 2005 when he was a Health Minister in Tony Blair’s Labour Government. He said almost exactly the same thing in an interview on the BBC’s World This Weekend on Sunday.

In the intervening seven years, this rather brilliant insight into the reality of our “state” health service has gained no traction whatsoever. The fact that primary care – the part of the NHS that most people have most contact with most of the time – is in private-sector hands simply does not register with people.

It is not just GPs that are private businesses of course. Thanks to another of Labour's privatisation by stealth scams many hospitals built of refurbished under PFI (private finance initiative) arrangements are private businesses that the NHS rents back as a managed facility from companies that were allowed to buy in to the project for peanuts. And then there are all the hospital and clinic ancilliary services that are contracted out to private firms which in turn sub contract the work to agencies whose record for compliance with Employment Law, Immigration rules and service level agreements is very dubious.

The Health and Social Care Bill curently limping through Parliament is attacked by its critics for opening the way to “privatisation on an industrial scale” when the bulk of the NHS is already firmly in private hands. Why hasn’t Andrew Lansley ever said this? And shouldn't he and otherrs be saying it loud asnd often right now?

Google's New Privacy Policy: 'All Your Base Belong Us'.

Google has defended its decision to change the way it handles users' personal data as its new policy comes into force today. The internet search giant will now be able to use information about what people are entering into its search engine to target adverts according to users' interests under the changes.

The company's computers will be able to collate data from all Google's various services including You Tube, Blogger, Gmail and Google Maps to create a single, comprehensive profile for individual users across 60 of its services.

Concerns have beent. raised by numerous regulatory authorities over the privacy implications of the move, with the French regulator claiming it may not be lawful. Peter Barron, head of communications at Google, said the firm was happy to meet with the French authorities to discuss their concerns. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said users could "control and manage" their search histories by opting out or switching them off.

"We have something called Google dashboard and you can go into that and you can change your settings," Mr Barron said. "If you don't want to receive adverts for recipes, for example, you can opt out of that." Well that's fine if you have a Google account. Many people do not.

Alex Hanff, who was involved in a campaign against advertising company Phorm, said: "They’ve been asked to suspend the changes several times, and Google keeps telling the regulators where to go. They’ve basically stuck two fingers up at the law."

Sticking two fingers up ayt the law and treating their usrers with utter contempt is of course what Google do best. It is high time governments grew some balls and bsckbones and told these neo9 - Nazi nerds that the same laws apply in the internet as in real life and if Page, Brin and all their semi autistic lackeys find that hard to understand they can have a few years in prison o contemplate it.

Google has emphasised that users can increase their privacy settings before the new policy comes into force. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a US civil rights group, has published a guide. The safest way to protect your personal data from Google however is to avoid using their service. Yahoo, Bing and Ask Jeeves, while no angels, are excellent search engines to my certain knowledge and there are many other search tools out there I am not familiar with.

Numerous other very good video hosting sites are open to the public too, Google's PR hype suggests it is the only one but like so much Google public relations material that is just not true. It is time we, the people, put these arrogant upstarts in their place.

Health Workers Should Be Sacked For Calling Old People 'Dear' Says QUANGO Chief

. by Xavier Connolly
Sir Keith Pearson, the co-chair of the Commission on Dignity in Care, a charity set up by the government to help semi retired Civil Servans and politicians keep their grubby noses in the trough of tax money, has said nurses and care workers treated older people with "contempt".

The report, written in the contemptuous tone favoured by elitists warned that workers could be dismissed if they did not respect the dignity of those in their care.

His comments came in the wake of a wide-ranging report by a commission of senior NHS managers, charities and council chiefs designed to stamp out neglect and abuse in hospitals and in the care system.

The commission concluded that older people are suffering humiliation and degrading treatment on a daily basis while basic “respect for human rights” is too often ignored. This degrading treatment referred to does not refer to the practice od letting patients who cannot feed themselves go hungry or letting the incontinent lie in their own faeces and urine, because staff are too busy filling forms in for the bean counter and tax eaters like Sir Keith. The smooth faced bureaucrats are getting themseolves worked up because many of the nuses who do a very good job of caring for patients sometimes call those they care for "dear" or "love".

It called for an overhaul to give respect for human dignity the same importance as medical success rates or financial targets. But what do they mean by respect? Respect for the pretensions of a few snobbish middle class prigs who are really offended by the fact that their nurses and carers are working class? Or respect for the fact that the warmth and compassion of carers is often a bigger factor in a patient's response than drugs or surgical interventions. There is little warmth and compassion in the kind of impersonal approach demanded by bureaucratic rules.

Drug Gangs Taking Over British Cities?

Parts of British cities are effectively no-go areas where drugs gangs are in control, a United Nations drug abuse expert has said. Professor Hamid Ghodse, president of the UN's International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), said there was ''a vicious cycle of social exclusion and drugs problems and fractured communities'' in cities such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.

Warning that the development of ''no-go areas'' was being fuelled by threats such as social inequality, migration and celebrities normalising drug abuse, Mr. Ghodse warned that helping marginalised communities with drugs problems ''must be a priority',

'''We are looking at social cohesion, the social disintegration and illegal drugs.In many societies around the world, whether developed or developing, there are communities within the societies which develop which become no-go areas. 'Drug traffickers, organised crime, drug users, they take over. They will get the sort of governance of those areas. Examples are in Brazil, Mexico, in the United States, in the UK, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, and therefore it is no good to have only law enforcement, which always shows it does not succeed.he said.

The Professor also called for such communities to be offered drug abuse prevention programmes, treatment and rehabilitation services, and the same levels of educational, employment and recreational opportunities as in the wider society.

''Youth of these communities must have similar chances to those in the wide society and have a right to be protected from drug abuse and drug dependence. It is crucial that the needs of communities experiencing social disintegration are urgently tackled before the tipping point is reached, beyond which effective action becomes impossible. The consequences of failure are too high for society and should be avoided at all cost.'' he told media representatives.

The INCB's annual report for 2011 found persistent social inequality, migration, emerging cultures of excess and a shift in traditional values were some of the key threats to social cohesion.

As the gap between rich and poor continues to widen, and facing a future of limited opportunities young people within these communities may easily become disengaged from the wider society and get involved in a range of personally and socially harmful behaviours, including drug abuse and drug dealing, 'While migration offers many positive benefits to the migrant and to society at large, it can create a sense of dislocation from the surrounding community and a sense of vulnerability on the part of those who are displaced.

Where migrating social groups have travelled from areas associated with illicit drug production and drug abuse, there is a greater likelihood of individuals engaging in forms of drug misuse as a way of coping with such a sense of dislocation.the report said.

The INCB also warned none of the factors ''should be seen as leading individuals inevitably into a lifestyle of drug abuse and criminality. In many societies around the world, whether developed or developing, there are communities within the societies which develop which become no-go areas. Drug traffickers, organised crime, drug users, they take over. Examples are in Brazil, Mexico, in the United States, in the UK, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, and therefore it is no good to have only law enforcement, which always shows it does not succeed.

Israel Will Not Warn USA Before Launching A Strike Against Iran

Israeli officials say they won't warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, a U.S. intelligence official familiar with the discussions has ytold Associated Press. The prediction, delivered in a series of private, top-level discussions raises tension in the middle east ahead of meetings in the coming days at the White House and Capitol Hill.

Israeli officials said that if they eventually decide to launch a strike is necessary, they would not warn the Americans to decrease the likelihood that the U.S. would be held responsible for failing to stop Israel's potential attack. The U.S. has been working with the Israelis for months to convince them that an air strike on Iran would be only cause a short term delay to Iran's nuclear program.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak delivered the message to a series of high-level U.S. visitors to the Israel, among them the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the White House national security adviser, the director of national intelligence and top U.S. lawmakers, all trying to close the trust gap between Israel and the U.S. over how to deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Netanyahu has given the same response to all the Americans who have been involved in talks with Israel, the U.S. official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive strategic negotiations.

The White House has not offered any comment on the leak. The Pentagon and Office of Director of National Intelligence also declined to comment, as did the Israeli Embassy.

Faced With It's Worst Crisis Yet The G20 Leaders Agree To Do The Most Stupid Thing Ever.

by Ed Butt.

The world's leading economies met in Mexico City on Sunday to work out a deal that will enable a second global rescue (stimulus) package worth nearly $2 trillion to stop the euro-zone sovereign debt crisis from spreading and putting at risk the tentative recovery.

Germany agreed to make a decision some time in March about strengthening the Eurozone bailout fund, a move other G20 countries insist is essential to clear the way for increasing funds available to help nations facing a best crisis in the International Monetary Fund.

The meeting and the deal it hopes to produce are part of the G20's efforts to build up massive international resources by the end of April - when the group next meets - and convince financial markets they can stem the euro-zone's deep problems.

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said European leaders will tackle the adequacy of the region's firewall during March. The issue will be on the agenda of a European Union summit next week.

"But the month of March goes from March 1 to March 31. It will be reviewed again, also in the light of the developments that have since occurred, whether the stated dimension of the (European bailout) mechanism is enough or not," he told reporters.

Berlin's willingness to discuss increasing Europe's bailout fund marks an important shift in attitude.

That is the official line. It is total bullshit of course. What these scumbags were talking about was printing money in the rich nations to save the basket cases. This can only lead to masive inflation, rocketing commodity prices. Naturally the ~International Nazis of the IMF, the United Nations, the EU and the Bilderberg Group have no interest in the great mass of responsible, hard working individuals and families who are just trying tyo make a decent life for themselves. All they are interested in is adavancing their collectivist agenda the goal of which is to set up a global government which will enslave us all.

If it goes through the new initiative would mark their most blatant effort to destroy the saving and pensions and reduce real incomes since 2008, when the G20 mustered $1 trillion to help rescue the world economy.

Germany is the key player here however. If we rule our Russia and China because their interests are served by a crumbling global economy, and the USA, Japan, Britain and France because if not quite bankruptthey are all staring into the abyss. Apart from a few small European nationa plus Australia and Canada, Germany is the only country that is in funds Facing massive political opposition to a second Greek bailout in its parliament, Frau Merkel's government has balked at enlarging Europe's rescue fund on the grounds that it would undermine efforts to impose fiscal discipline on indebted countries.

The softening of its stance came as Schauble said he assumes the Greek bailout package will win Bundestag support on Monday. Well it may get suport from the cocksuckers and skunk felchers in the Bundestag but the German voters are going to hate it.

Were Europe to merge its temporary and permanent bailout funds it would create a $1 trillion war chest and open the door for other G20 countries to meet the IMF's request for $500-$600 billion in new resources, on top of its current $358 billion in funds.

Put together, this would total around $1.95 trillion in firepower. Or enough to kep the world's debtor nations going for about six months. The G20 has no intention of easing its pressure on Europe by giving it a strong signal now that new IMF money is in the bag. Its communique from the Mexico meting when will merely state that the world's leading economies will review the resources of the IMF in April without setting a date for a deal, G20 officials said.

The really scary thing is these numbskulls, these intestinal worms hanging out of the bottom hole of humany, while deluding themselves that they are in control are plaing into the hands of the Russians and Chinese. To save western civilistion we have to start killing politicians and bankers NOW!

The latest round in the Who's The Worst Internet Privacy Thief Saga. Google and Facebook ignore protests, carry on using cookies to collect Internet Explorer and Apple Safari users 'browsing history, Microsoft say it's not their problem
Back to the old Internet Evil Empire theme as another privacy controversy involving Google, Favebook and Microsoft explodes. As usual the web giants are displaying their total contempt for users privacy, the search engine and social networking sites revealing an estrangement from ethics by claiming if they can do something that makes it OK to do it while Microsoft say if users can't protect themselves against the securtity flaws in Microsoft's operating system, that's not Microsoft's problem.

Google Evil Empire In New Privacy Violation

In the wake of reports that Google had sidestepped privacy settings in Apple's Safari browser, Microsoft revealede yestyerday it had discovered that the Web Search giant had pulled the same stunt same with Internet Explorer. It's a safe bet we will be hearing from Mozilla very soon.

A Microsift blog post revealed : "When the IE team heard that Google had bypassed user privacy settings on Safari, we asked ourselves a simple question: is Google circumventing the privacy preferences of Internet Explorer users too?" IE executive Dean Hachamovitch wrote in a blog post this morning. "We've discovered the answer is yes: Google is employing similar methods to get around the default privacy protections in IE and track IE users with cookies."

The blog post, which details Microsoft's findings and offers privacy protection tips, said Microsoft have contacted Google about their concerns and asked it to "commit to honoring P3P privacy settings for users of all browsers."

Unfortunately past experience tells us that the word "ethics" does not exist in the Google lexicon.

In the blog post, Microsoft developers explain how the bypass occurs:

Technically, Google utilizes a nuance in the P3P specification that has the effect of bypassing user preferences about cookies. The P3P specification (in an attempt to leave room for future advances in privacy policies) states that browsers should ignore any undefined policies they encounter. Google sends a P3P policy that fails to inform the browser about Google's use of cookies and user information. Google's P3P policy is actually a statement that it is not a P3P policy.

Google responded to Microsoft's accusation with typical arrogance by claiming that Microsoft backs a system that is dated and impractical. Their press release said: "It is well known--including by Microsoft--that it is impractical to comply with Microsoft's request while providing modern Web functionality," Rachel Whetstone, senior vice president of communications and policy for Google, said in a statement to CNET News, "We have been open about our approach, as have many other Web sites. Today the Microsoft policy is widely non-operational," she continued. "A 2010 research report indicated that over 11,000 Web sites were not issuing valid P3P policies as requested by Microsoft."

In other words Google are saying, "If you don't like us invading your privacy blame Microsoft." In term of ethgical practice this is the same as saying, "If we can do something that makes it OK to do." Corporate solipsism?

P3P, or Platform for Privacy Preferences, is an official recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that allows sites to summarize their privacy policies. However, the recommendation has been largely ignored since its introduction a decade ago, with many major Web sites such as Google.com, Apple.com, CNN.com, and Twitter.com opting not to use it to describe their policies which in fact all are reluctant to discuss publicly.

Microsoft also said they are "investigating what additional changes need to be made to products to protect users privacy. The P3P specification says that browsers should ignore unknown tokens. Privacy advocates involved in the original specification have recently suggested that IE ignore the specification and block cookies with unrecognized tokens."

The Greek Bail Out Deal Humiliates Greece Without Solving Anything

by John de Roe
A "strictly confidential" 10-page debt sustainability report commissioned for yesterday's meeting of eurozone ministers has been leaked to the media. The document concludes that the austerity measures being foisted on Greece in order that the indebted country can receive a €130bn bailout, are quite likely to prove self-defeating, in that the austerity, by further weakening the economy are likely to cause the sovereign debt to GDP ratio to rise further.

As if that was not bad enough, the debt write off being demanded from private investors may prevent Greece from returning to private markets for its finance for many decades, making the country indefinitely reliant on support from the EU and IMF. After the bailouts so much of Greek's debt will be held by official repositories, all of who will have preferential treatment as creditors, that no private sector investor would consider lending, knowing that private creditors would be last in the queue of people wanting to be paid back.

The Daily Stirrer has been saying for two years this would be the outcome of the Greek debt crisis, it was obvious to everyone else too, but it is also obvious that the EU / IMF policy was never about helping Greece, which was railroaded into the single currency although it's economy was far too weak, to get back on its feet financially; the real agenda is to move forward towards a single European superstate which would be extended beyond Europe to include more economic basket case nations in north Africa and the Middle East.

Still the acknowledgement of these problems must be seen as progress among the grand delusions of eurozone policy-making.

We have to wonder why they bother trying to persuade us everything is hunky - dory and Federalisation of Europe is the future given the quite high probability of eventual failure they covertly assign to the bailout. Even if favourable scenario outlined in the sustainability report plays out, Greece is going to need a third bailout of €50bn by the end of the decade on top of the €136bn agreed in principle last night. This favourable scenario, by the way, makes the heroic assumption that the Greek economy will stop shrinking next year and return to 2.per cent growth in 2014. Few sane commentators believe that's remotely possible.

Under a "tailored downside scenario" (the leaked document's words), which by any stretch of the imagination looks pretty optimistic, debt would fall much more slowly than hoped for reaching only 160pc of GDP by the end of the decade, rather than the 120pc the eurozone requires of Greece. In such circumstances, €245bn of bailout money would be required. Given that Britain and Sweden and Denmark are outside the Euro single currency system and Britain's economy is wobbly anyway, That France and Austria have already had their credit rating downgraded because of exposure to Greek debt and The Netherlands, politically, is engaged in a charge to the Eurosceptic right this leaves only little Finland and microstate Luxembourg to support Germany in propping up Greece and the other failed economies, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Cyprus.

German taxpayers are already in revolt, local elections there are very volatile with winners from the right and left throwing out incumbents. The mood of the voters seems to be anything except the EU. It is unlikely taxpayers in the rest of the E.U. will be sympathetic to such a handout intolerable for the rest of the eurozone, there is a growing feeling that tax revenue should be kept at home, let the poor nations fend for themselves. If the rest of Europe is not happy to forego new hospitals, schools, roads and properly equipped defence forces, think what the austerity programme will mean for the Greeks. As part of the deal, the Greek government has committed to build into into its legal framework a provision to give priority to debt service payments above all other public expenditure, this clause is to be included in an amended Greek Constitution as soon as possible. This is the sort of thing that prompts revolutions.

The arrogant bureaucrats of Brussels, the IMF and the United Nations do not fear threats to people on the streets, they feel secure in their ivory towers.

Already, polls published by local Greek media indicate that the centre parties (National Democrats, and in particular the main party in the Greek assembly PASOK) are losing popular support hand over fist, so it matters not a jot that the two main coalition parties have signed up to full ongoing implementation after elections in April because they will no longer be running the show. In contrast, the parties further from the centre continue to gain popular support, and none of these have expressed support for the austerity programme so anything voted through now is likely to be repealed in a few months.

The measures, including constitutional change also have to be approved by a number of national parliaments elsewhere in the eurozone. It would too hasty to say this austerity programme cannot work, we have seen the Eurocrats deploy a combination of bullying and bribery to get their way before which is the only reason the eurozone has repeatedly defied the sceptics in holding together thus far. However it is certainly a programme that cannot succeed, and will only delay the day when Greece is forced out of the eurozone.

Roger L Simon wrote in Pajamas Media:

As Republicans gnaw at each other’s throats, playing a desperate game of “I’m more conservative than you,” something yet more depressing and deeply ironic is occurring: Capitalism is saving Obama. In the spirit of “no bad deed goes unrewarded,” the very system our president cut his teeth on despising — the unbridled free market — is on its way to securing him a second term. (Well, it may not be as “unbridled” as it once was, but it is unbridled enough to work some magic.) Yes, I am well aware that the unemployment numbers are fudged; that whatever recovery exists is flimsy at best and most probably not even there. In fact, we may be poised on the brink of a depression even greater than the Thirties. But the reverse may also be true. Capitalism — that sturdiest of systems — may be righting itself to some degree. A recovery may be under way despite the wrongheaded policies of an administration seemingly determined to undermine it.

The Daily Stirrer replies

Roger,
Take a look beyond the US borders. There is no recovery, the deal made to bail out Greece only kicks the can a few yards down the road. All the nations of the developed world (and I include all E U members in that, having pursued unsustainable policies of replacing human workers with technology are now saddled with crippling welfare bills to support the unemployed and unemployable.

Governments hire more tax eaters and keep young people in full time education longer to mask the true unemployment position, they print more money and pump it into the economy to create the illusion of growth.

You mention how well stock markets have done in January but the London Stock Exchange, Wall Street, Germany and France have only made up some of the ground lost to inflation. The Obama administration is being thwarted in its efforts to reduce US debt by devaluing the dollar but all other nation with traded currencies are wise to the trick and are letting their own currencies fall in line with the dollar. So all Obama's loonytoons economics will achieve is to add $1trillion a year to the debt burden.

Commodity prices are going through the roof and those increases will eventually filter through to the cost of living. Result deflation and stagnation.

The 2nd great depression is not over, in fact it has not reached full speed yet. Somehow the republicans have to find a candidate who can get that message out.

The Greek Mess, Germany and A Final Solution?

EU leaders will meet today to work out a deal which will save the Euro and avoid a messy default by Greece on its sovereign debts which would inevitably be followed by Greece's departure from the single currency. Political leaders are anxious to avoid any nation escaping from the European Monetary System because if one breaks free this would increase political pressure in other heavily indebted nations for a debt default and a return to their own currencies. Such a breakdown of the Eurozone would be a massive setback to the New World Order's plans for a Mediterranean Union which would take in more basket case nations in North Africa and the middle east.

Many economic pundits are pointing to a rally in share prices this month as a sign that all will soon be well, the Greek economy will be saved by their European partners and the world can get back to normal with central banks printing money and creating debt go give voters an illusion of economic prosperity.

This is a tad optimistic. For one thing money is going into the stock markets because it has nowhere else to go. Since the Swiss declined to let their Franc become the de facto world currency other nations have taken a similar line and refused to allow the Obama administration to devalue their way out of trouble. Thus the world is left with gold as it's reserve currency. Then the 'recoveries' taking place in the US and UK are suspect and there's plenty of conflicting data. Jobless statistics showing numbers claiming jobseekers benefits fall while numbers without jobs rise. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures tell of growth but people observe closed factories, shops boarded up in the High Street and the proliferation of charity shops and flea markets.

The financial markets have become totally disengaged from economic and political fundamentals and are simply proceeding on the assumption that central banks around the world will simply print money and sell bonds to keep things moving. There are few central banks around the world now that aren't engaged in Quantitatve Easing of some form and we are likely to see a lot more of it as both Central Banks and Governments seem unable to throw up any other 'viable' plan. The only question is how long this plan will remain viable or credible. Probably not long as everybody's credit is maxed out already.

The problem that will economists and planners, academics and civil servants who pontificate about how in an ideal world economies should work, is that the money created is not trickling down throughout the economies but is remaining in the hands of the mythical 1% and the big corporations. The situation for everyone else will continue to deteriorate with real disposable incomes falling and savings being eroded eroded as inflation tuns ahead of growth. Unless consumers in consumer based economies are given additional credit to make up for the loss in income then the outcome must be recessionary. But those consumers, having already mortgages their souls to fuel the long boom, are reluctant to take on extra credit. One need not have read Emile Zola's Nana to understand the folly of borrowing against expectations.

The basics of economics defined thus by Mr. Micawber: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure Nineteen pounds ninety pence, result happiness; annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds and ten pence*, result misery, will eventually have to be acknowledged and economies rebalanced. Starting with as clean slate governments and nations will have to live within their means. This would be a painful and complicated process as a corporate and financial cartel (The New World Order) have already persuaded so many people to trade their souls and self esteem for trinkets and an illusory security. It would require real talent and planning from authorities, a new realism among the political class so long conditioned to the easy life they can have by buying votes with unaffordable benefits, so it is unlikely to happen as long as the current crop of world leaders are in position.

Until that return to reality happens, if we hear the word 'growth' then its a fair bet to assume that central banks are printing money and pumping it into the economy thus borrowing from the future to subsidise the present; that governments are spending more and that systemic debt is generally rising. If we hear that unemployment is falling you can bet your life savings the government is manipulating the statistics by reclassifying the long term unemployed as "not economically active" and dropping them from the figures or hiring tax eaters to fill non jobs.

The alternative, running a disciplined economy, is apparently unthinkable.

*(Here Mr. Micawber's advice is translated to modern currency and many younger even in Britain readers might never have heard of shillings and pence which were used in Dickens' time.)

17 February 2012

A light news day today, we will concentrate on issues that are going to be with us for a long time.

In Spite Of What Lefties Say It Is Equal Rights Campaigners Not Christians Who Are Imposing Their Belief On Others.

What purpose does the Equality and Human Rights Commission serve? Listen to lefties and you might end up believing that the EHRC and it's "chair", a nasty little race hustler named Trevor Phillips are the only thing standing between Britain and a slide back into savagery. If we poor taxpayers were not forced to stump up obscene amounts of money so that creepy identity politics players like Phillips and his cronies could keep their greedy little snouts in the trough, pay themselves big fat salaries for doing little other than boss us around and take themselves off on expensive jollies fact finding missions, the country we are told would descend into tribalistic conflict as the population (made up three equal parts, black, Asian and white Anglo Saxon racists) fought bloody battles, the blacks and Asians struggling for "equal rights", the Anglo Saxon racists trying to 'send them back where they came from.'

Believe that idiotic narrative and you are as insane and bigoted as Phillips and his chums or are possible a Labour activist, somebody who considers themselves intellectual but is prone to unthinking obedience to the party line, jumping on every self - hate propelled bandwagon that goes by and responding with the prescribed knee jerk reaction to everything.

The latest words of wisdom from Reichsfuhrer Phillips are reported in today’s papers.

Speaking at a debate in London on diverse societies, he backed new laws, which led to the closure of all Catholic adoption agencies in England. “You can’t say because we decide we’re different then we need a different set of laws,” he said, in comments reported by The Tablet, the Catholic newspaper. Well no you can't. But does that not equally apply to homosexuals. Apparently not, in the bigoted world of Trevor Phillips all the animals are equal but some are more equal than others.

The Catholic church abhors homosexuality therefore a Catholic adoption agency is not going to consider applications to adopt children from same sex couples. The new law, campaigned for by EHRC and gay rights groups forbids rejection of adoptions by same sex couples so the Catholic agencies shut their doors.

Phillips said, “To me there’s nothing different in principle with a Catholic adoption agency, or indeed Methodist adoption agency, saying the rules in our community are different and therefore the law shouldn’t apply to us. Why not then say sharia can be applied to different parts of the country? It doesn’t work.”

The point this jumped up little clerk misses is that we had a perfectly good system before the law was changed. Most adoptions were handled by state run agencies that were happy to consider applications from same sex couples and found good homes for many children with same sex couples. Other agencies run as charities by various churches made their own decisions on the issue. What the EHRC always forgets when sticking its 'equalities' oar in to difficult situations and invariably making them dysfunctional is that the feelings of churchgoers are (or used to be) equal in the eyes of the law to those of secular humanists.

So what exactly is the point of this organisation, what function do they perform for society?

The EHRC evolved from the Commission for Racial Equality was established in 1976 to fight racial discrimination and racism generally, with a remit that was broad and unending as the race industry grew to include gays and lesbians, disabled people, those with learning difficulties and any minority group it is possible to stick a label on.. The CRE was established with the Racial Discrimination Act 1976, which followed earlier acts in 1965 and 1968, the aim of which was to outlaw discrimination on racial grounds. Previous to this Britain never had such laws, partly because it had very few non-Europeans, but primarily because we are a liberal (in the true sense) society and it was generally believed that the state has no business interfering in people’s private thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and behaviour.

Liberal? What Does That Mean?What is a liberal? Is it something to do with the kind of politically correct thinking that obsesses over minority rights while seeking to marginalise mainstream society? Is liberalism an authoritarian system that seeks to impose politically correct left wing ideology on everybody. Or is a liberal, as is argued here, a very respectable political postion whose name has been usurped by people reluctant to acknowledge their inner Nazi.

Liberal DilemmaThe progresive left, the politically correct Thought Police, are big on supporting all minorities in their pursuit of their rights and in preaching tolerance and diversity to society at large. But what happens when two of those precipous minorities, say for example Muslims and feminists come into conflict on some issue.

Hormats, Under Secretary for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs, on “Examining the European Debt Crisis and its Implications”. After reading it, one can only conclude that this is a US administration that refuses to publicly acknowledge the sheer scale of the problem.

Older workers sidelined as jobs crisis deepens

by Ed Butt

It will not surprise many who read The Daily Stirrer to learn that official figures now acknowledge almost half of unemployed people aged 50 or over have been out of work for a year or more. This disturbing trend of marginalising older members of the potential workforce has been going on since the 1980s when Margaret Thatcher's government started to advise doctors to find trivial reasons to sign off as disabled people of over 50 who had been made redundant.

Grim official labour market published yesterday revealed Britain's jobs crisis is deepening, with women and young people bearing the brunt of job cuts over the past year. A sizeable jump in the number of new jobs being created between October and December – a rise of 60,000 – was overshadowed by a record number of people working part-time because they could not find full-time jobs.

The number of people forced to work part-time because there was no alternative rose by 83,000 in the quarter to 1.35m, the highest since records began in 1992.

Total unemployment increased for the eighth month in a row to 2.67m, or 8.4pc, with 524 people losing their jobs every day between October and December, the figures from the Office for National Statistics revealed.

The data also sends a fresh signal that the private sector is unable to offset the tens of thousands of people being made redundant from the public sector. The number of workers in state employment fell by 67,000 to just under 6m in September 2011, while those hired in private sector employment rose by just 5,000.

115 European banks Face Downgrade As Germany And Greece Threaten Eurozone

. by John de Roe

Germany’s Wolfgang Schäuble is entering into ever more dangerous waters.

His outrageous demand that Greece should put off elections scheduled for April, and impose a junta of EU appointed bureaucrats and academics for another year without the involvement of Greek political paries PASOK and New Democracy, is gobsmacking in its arrgonce. Is this really the position of the German government? Deutschland Unber Alles Greek democracy be damned? Herr Sxchauble may think so but fortunately the German voters do not.

As Germany, Finland, Holland, Austria and little Luxembourg, the EU's only solvent nations closed ranks against Greece, demanding the debt blighted nation is not allowed to wriggle out of its austerity conditions again, German Finance Minister Schauble who has a reputation for intervening in a less than helpful way, in typically undiplomatic fashion stuck his oar in.

One must assume that Herr Schäuble has been well-briefed on the highly volatile political mood in Greece right now, so the only rational view of such deliberate provocation, like the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia in 1914 (a mistake, as it later turned out, since "contagion" from Serbia could not be contained).

"Who is Mr Schäuble to insult Greece? Who are the Dutch? Who are the Finns?" President Karolous Papoulias demanded, the President was himself a teenage resister against the Wehrmacht in Epirus almost seventy years ago – though he later took political asylum in Germany from the Greek junta.

He added "Greece has always had the pride to defend not just our own freedom, not just our own country, but the freedom of all Europe."

It is clear that Berlin, Helsinki, and the Hague have taken the decision to eject Greece from the euro whatever the country now does. Even if Greece complies to the letter with the impossible terms of the EU-IMF Troika, it will not make any difference. A fresh pretext will be found.

Financial Markets were close to panic as the chances of holding the Euro single currecy system together appeared to be crumbling.

UK Unemployment Rises Again as part time jobs increase.

Unemployment in the UK rose by 48,000 in the quarter to December 2011. The figure of people without jobs now stands at 2.67 million, a jobless rate of 8.4 per cent, the worst figure since the end of 1995.

The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance rose by 6,900 in January to 1.6 million, the 11th consecutive monthly increase. The number of women claiming the allowance increased by 1,500 last month to 531,700, the highest figure since the summer of 1995. Another negative trend in the job market is that a record number of people are now working part-time because they cannot find full-time jobs.This category is up by 83,000 over the latest quarter to 1.35 million.

Employment increased by 60,000 to 29 million, mainly due to a rise of 90,000 in the number of part-time employees to 6.6 million

The Daily Stirrer has commented many times on the underlying reasons for the seemingly insurmountable unemployment problem that is suffocating any chance of recovery. Politicians and business leaders utter pious platitudes about solving the problem but continue on a course of encouraging businesses to replace human labour with machines and exporting low skill jobs to low labour cost economies.

For the great majority of people in the developed nations globalisation is a madness that is corroding our societies.

No Jobs For The Masses In The New Economy Despite University EducationNo matter how leaders like David Cameron and Barack Obama try to talk up their economies or assure voters the jobs market is improving, growth returning and unemployment will soon start falling, the truth is change does not equal progress and forcing the pace of social change has only masked the true depth of economic and social problems. One of these is unemployment and particularly joblessness among the young. Even a universdity education does not provide a guaranteed career path.

Now the coalition must find a way to deal with the problem of having too many graducates in areas that offer no jobs.

Greece Steps Closer To EU Exit

The likelihood of Greece defaulting on its debt obligations a traumatic ejection from the European Monetary System ( Euro ) moved a step closer last yesterday as eurozone finance ministers called off a crucial meeting that was intended to negotiate the terms of the next bailout to the bankrupt nation. The Brussels (B)euro(c)rats accused Athens of failing to explain how they would achieve the austerity cuts promised last Sunday.

The escalating brinkmanship came as new figures showed Greece's economy contracted by 6.8pc last year and at an accelerating 7pc rate in the last quarter. This is far worse than EU econmomists had predicted. The "troika", the European Union (EU), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which had put together the bailout plan must now face the reality that Greeece's debts are systemic. Each successive bailout will only kick the can further down the road but eventually somebody must pick it up and deal with the fact that while the Greek peasant economy is tied to the German industrial powerhouse in the EMS, Greece will run an accelerating deficit and a similar fate will befall other weak economies in the Eurozone.

Only integrating the poor nations into a single nation (anathema to voters in both rich and poor nations) and requiring the taxpayers of Germany Austria, Holland, Britain and France to support them could possibly get us out of the mess and then only until the habitual debtor nations dragged down the more prosperous ones.

Greece is now in a self-feeding downward spiral of debt that is playing havoc with budget targets, leaving Greece with a Sisyphean task of ever deeper cuts. Eventually as the debt grows and the economy continues to shrink the Greek government will face a situation where the money gathered in from taxes does not even cover the interest on debt.

The E. U. appointed Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos called his cabinet together last night and demanded they find a further €325m (Ł272m) of fiscal austerity measures demanded by the troika, likely to be defence cuts and lower salaries. Meanwhile the parties of the ruling coalition failed to convince the Eurogroup that they would stick to the deal already made when they claimed the mood of reconciliation has been poisoned by EU demands for an escrow account to seize Greek budget revenues at source.

Blackened buildings set alight by protesters on Sunday sent a message to politicians that efforts to keep Greece in the Euro are pushing the country towards anarchy.

Another Hollywood Actor Bids For Biggest Twat Oscar


by Ed Butt
Hollywood ac - tor and professional fuckwit Sean Penn has joined the attack-of-the Obama-felchers on Britain over the Falkland Islands. Penn called the Duke of Cambridge's deployment "unthinkable".

The Daily Stirrer says the only unthinkable thing here is that Penn, a more brainless bandwagon jumper or the other Hollywood 'liberal' moron George Clooney could make an intelligent comment about anything. Both these Oirish American spawn of a pox whore's scab lice are too fond of giving us the benefit of their 'liberal' knee-jerk opinions on world affairs.

They should stick to working in 'B' movies and sucking up to their beloved closet gay, closet Muzza, racist, terrorist loving president who has been trying to wind up the unstable dagoes tha run Argentinta into attacking the Falklands.

For anyone stupid enough to believe that Brit hater Barack Hussein Obama is somehow an ally of this country (and yes, I am staling about you David Cameron and Nick Clegg), Obama has gone on record several times as saying Argentina has a rightful claim to the Falkland Isles and he will support them in pursuing that claim.

It is sobering to think that the same people who ridiculed George W Bush for his ignorance of history and Geography hailed Obama as a genuis or Messianic proportions when the jug eared streak of piss does not know that Argentina has never owned or even had a colony on the Falklands which are outside Argentina's territorial waters. Britain has held the islands since 1833 after they were abandoned by the French who in turn took over from Spain as that nation's powert crumbled.

Bush may have been a twat but Obama is a ten times bigger twat. And Sean Penn is just a bad actor seeking publicity to try to revive his necrotic career.

One is reminded of Oscar Wilde's observation: "America is the only nation in the world that went from barbarity to decadence without passing through civilisation.

Eurocrats Are The New Bond Villains

Where would you expect to find the latest generation of evil criminal masterminds intent on world domination? The Magma chamber of an extinct volcano, a floating island in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean, on an orbiting space station that thanks to a secret technology developed by mad scientists is invisible to radar, in and ancient temple hidden in the jungles of Borneo? All of these have been featured in thrillers written since World War 2. The plots of such stories don't have to be entirely believable so long as their milieu is feasible. If the novel is to be successful in persuading readers to suspend disbelief the world domination ambitions of the villains must reflect readers' anxieties. Once they German spies then in turn Soviet or Chinese agents, then wicked multinationals, then Islamist bombers.

The latest generation of insane geniuses are Eurocrats, the faceless fixers, the unelected fonctionnaires who truly rule the world's largest trading bloc, the European Union .

For the past couple of years they have been showing us they are quite prepared to sacrifice the national prosperity, the welbeing of ordinary people and the diverse and ancient cultures of the European nations in order to advance their pet project, the single European superstate which is only a stepping stone to bigger things. Plans to extend the European Union, renamed the Mediterranean Union, into the middle east and North Africa.

Alan Judd's new novel, Uncommon Enemy, whose villain is a Euro-fanatic former spy who wears a loden coat (the standard choice for fictional British nationals of dodgy political views and lacking personal integrity. Another new novel of the same genre is A Sentimental Traitor by Michael Dobbs. Without wanting to write any spoilers, the plot hinges on the ruthless willingness of Euro-integrationists to traduce the reputation, wreck the livelihood and threaten the life of a British Member of Parliament who jeopardises one of their projects.

Already, as U.S. visitors will be aware, novels have started to appear on American bookshelves about the efforts of dissenters to draw attention to the way a radical, collectivist (and entirely fictional) President is ignoring the constitution to push an agenda that will erode American sovereignty and undermine certain constitutional rights as the administration forges closer links with those who are leading the drive for a Euro - African superstate and eventually a global government.

We in the Daily Stirrer have been warning our readers of this New World Order agenda since we began publishing. To get this message out was in fact one of the reasons we began this project.

Will Government Defy Euro Nazis and Labour - Activist judges and throw hate monger Abu Qatada out of Britain?

The Government is still looking for ways to sidestep the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights and remove Muslim cleric from Britain Abu Qatada, the hatemongrering preacher whose sermons frequently incite hatred and call for terrorist attacks against British civilians. The possibilities being considered by coalition ministers include defying the legal ban imposed by the unelected bureaucrats of Brussels on his deportation to Jordan.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman today declined to rule out the option of simply frogmarching Qatada to a 'plane to be sent back to Jordan as soon as the 51-year-old radical cleric walks out of prison after being detained for six years. Qatada is being released on bail in Britain today, even though he has been convicted in Jordan of terror offences in his absence.

To send him home would defy a decision by the European Court of Human Rights that Qatada would not get a fair trial in his own country. Whatever the smooth faced elitists of the EU may say the people of Britain and the rest of western Europe will heave a sigh of relief once this advocate of terror is gone. So he will not get a fair trial in Jordan, tough. Would people who die in terror attacks orchestrated by him get any kind of hearing?

He has been fighting extradition to Jordan, but he is being freed because the European Court of Human Rights has concerns that evidence to be used against him was obtained by torture.

A substantial number of Conservative MPs have been calling for Qatada, known as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, to simply be booted out of the country. He should have been put on a flight back as soon as he landed. Asylum seeker my arse, he's a crim.

Asked whether the Government could ignore the European Court’s ruling, the Prime Minister’s office was evasive saying: “We are committed to removing him from the country. We want to see him deported. We are looking at all the options for doing that.“All I would say is we are looking at all the possible options and we will be exhaustive in our efforts.”

Qatada has strict bail conditions that will be ban him from taking his youngest child to school when he is released from prison.

As long as Al Qatada remains in this country British taxpayers will have be funding round the clock security costing up to Ł10,000 a week to help protect him from vigilante attacks once he is released. If his limp dicked, metrosexual buddies in the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties think that is an acceptable way of spending our money then they deserve the political oblivion that will surely come their way.

Greece Burns As Parliament Chooses EU bailout over democracy. The Greek parliament yesterday approved a austerity bill to secure a second $130bn (Ł110bn) bailout and avoid a messy default despite almost universal hostility to the measures that will be required by the EU. After a day of rioting and street battles between police and protesters which left Athens in flames the bill was passed by 199 votes to 74. The news triggered some of the most serious violence ever seen on the streets Athens and spread to other Greek towns and cities, including the holiday islands of Corfu and Crete.

An estimated 50,000 protesters, many facing steep cuts in pensions, wages and a bigger fall in living standards besieged the Greek Parliament in two demonstrations. Police responded with tear gas when fire bombs were thrown.

The controversial loan and austerity package sets out €3.3bn in wage, pension and job cuts for this year alone, and the promise of years of recession, high employment and lower wages. Pension cuts totalling €300bn, a 22pc reduction in the minimum wage and the loss of 150,000 public sector jobs by 2015 will hit almost every Greek household.

Contingency plans for a return to the Drachma have been drawn up in Athens, Berlin and Brussels.

Former Archbishop Of Canterbury George Carey says its time to remind ourselves Christians have rights too

George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury, has warned there are 'dark forces at work in Western society' that are degrading the values of Christianity after a High Court ruling banned public prayers from council meetings.

None of us Daily Stirrer contributors are religious so we would prefer to talk about the values of Graeco Roman civilisation but other than that Dr. Carey is right. This topic is one for our philosophers to tackle so I am going to leave it to Ian, Profanicus Maximus and Ed Butt to tackle the problem in their usual inimitable style.

In the meantime however, you might enjoy this competely over the top polemic against the authoritarian left from Ian's satirtical publication Boggart Blog.

Fascist Judge Should Be Taken Outside And Shot.
2012-02-10

In one of the most gobsmackingly biased politically motivated ruling ever to come from a leftie judge, a left wing piolitoical activist judge who should not even be on the bench because of his political bias ruled that the saying of prayers at the start of council meetings because is unlawful in a case brought against Bideford Council.

Now though a non believer myself I am a liberal and a libertarian and will always defend the rights of people I don't agree with. And in a democracy the majority is always right no matter what self righteous lefties may feel. So I investigated.

In his written verdict the Judge actually admitted it is not actually unlawful to say prayers at the start of a meeting.

He said: "A local authority has no power under section 111 of the Local Government Act 1972, or otherwise, to hold prayers as part of a formal local authority meeting, or to summon councillors to such a meeting at which prayers are on the agenda."

I was pretty sure this clause undermined the politically biased ruling on the case which was brought by Cllr. Waddac Hunt and the National Secular Society (or National Socialists as they are now known) and also I was nauseated by the quasi religious rejoicing of lefties who think they have won "a victory for human rights" by depriving others of certain rights and freedoms for the sake of their own self righteousness. (lefties rejoicing would make rat nauseous so you can imagine I was well revolted) So I IMd my mate Colin LLB who said.

"The Judge is talking bollocks. The crux of this case is the word 'summoned'. Telling someone the meeting is about to start may be interpreted by people of ill will as issuing a summons but as long as nobody is compelled to attend the first few minutes it is not ulawful. Telling someone 'If you don't get your arse in the chamber and say prayers you will be thrown in the oubliet,' would be. This is a political verdict.

Then I phoned another friend who was a councillor for many years and an MP. He said "We used to say prayers at the start of meetings, nobody felt their human rights were being violated. Atheists and Muslims just used to stand outside the chamber until it was done.

And the Lords and Commons have always said prayers but nobody is compelled to take part. Being told prayers are about to begin is not being summoned to prayers but a warning that the session is about to start".

So there we have it. The Judge should be taken outside and shot for being incompetent and partisan. Members of the National Secular Society should be taken outside and shot for wasting taxpayers money on a case like this and for being small minded, mean spirited bigots intent on imposing their narrow minded view on an overwhelming majority of those who like to say prayers and those who don't give a flying fuck so long as nobody makes us join in. And because they are a bunch of boring little tits as well.

The Councillor who brought the case should be banged up in a padded cell for the safety of himself and others. But mostly himself.

And bigoted, fascistic lefties whose minds are so FUBAR they think this kind of thing is important when the world is falling apart around us should be taken outside and shot because it's the only humane thing to do.

As usual we see politically correct lefties working in concert with activist judges to bypass democratically elected bodies and create new laws that impose the values of an authoritarian left wing minority on the majority.

Greek Protests Boost Far Right

by Ian Thorpe

As the smooth faced elitists who would like to run our lives were congratulating themselves on having shafted the people of Greece, the voters have asserted themselves and thown a spanner in the works. The Greek far-right party leader, George Karatzaferis, said he could not vote in favour of the €130bn proposed bailout package proposed for the country to great acclaim form the crowds.

In inflammatory comments made at a press conference, Mr Karatzaferis also said IMF mission members sent to supervise austerity measures in Greece should be persona non grata in the country.

"I explained to the other political leaders that I cannot vote for this loan agreement. If we want things to go forward, Poul Thomsen must be declared persona non grata for Greece. We are not going to vote. Humiliation was imposed on us. I do not tolerate this. And I do not allow it, no matter how hungry I might be."

That's telling them.

More Climate Science Fraud Exposed: Himalyan Glaciers Are Not Melting

The Himalayas has lost no significant ice over the past decade, according to a new study, that found melting ice from glaciers is having a much smaller effect on sea levels than previously thought. Previous studies relied on physical measurements of ice caps and glaciers on the ground. It's ironic that people who have relied on high tech modelling techniques to conceal the reality of what is going on are now exposed (again) as crooks and liars by new high tech methods of measuring glaciers.

The study also reveals that although the previous method made sweeping generalisations about the global situation less than 120 out of more than 160,000 glaciers across the world have actually been measured because of the difficulty of accessing freezing and remote regions.

A new study, published in Nature magazine, used satellites to measure the loss of ice from ice caps and glaciers for the first time from 2003 to The same story is reported in the left leaning newspaper The Guardian.

In both stories the obvious conclusion from the reports is that the IPCC led global warming lobby have been caught cheating again. Both however make a big thing of saying that senior scientists, having admitted the Himalayas glacier is not melting as quickly as thought are rather to quick to add that melting ice caps and rising sea levels (both already identified as climate science frauds) are still a serious concern. These greedy, arrogant, self aggrandizing shits are just not capable of admitting they were wrong.

The results of the study revealed that the overall loss of ice from ice caps and glaciers on land, excluding the huge ice caps on Greenland and Antarctica, is adding 0.4 mm per year to sea levels compared to previous projections that estimated 1mm per year.

Mountain glaciers in Asia in particular are having a much smaller effect than thought, with a “negligible mass loss” from the Himalayas over the last ten years.

The fact that the satellite is measuring ice much higher up the mountain range rather than concentrating on more accessible glaciers in warmer areas lower down could account for the change in estimates the scientists said. Talk about stating the gobsmackingly bloody obvious.

This latest blow to the climate science scam comes after the “Himalayagate” scandal that saw the United Nations science body the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) forced to admit it was a mistake to predict the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035.

Jonathan Bamber, of the Bristol Glaciology Centre at the University of Bristol, told a press event melting glaciers had become an iconic symbol of climate change. He said the new study will help to understand the effect of climate change on the billions of people living in areas relying on melt ice and help to understand the long term effect on sea level rise.

“The contribution of glaciers and ice caps (excluding the Antarctica and Greenland peripheral GICs) to sea-level rise was less than half the value of the most recent, comprehensive estimate obtained from extrapolation of in situ measurements for 2001-05 (0.41 +/- 0.08 compared with 1.1mm yr). Second, losses for the High Mountain Asia region - comprising the Himalayas, Karakoram, Tianshan, Pamirs and Tibet - were insignificant.”

The expansion of water as the oceans warm and the melting of the major ice caps at the Poles are the main driver of sea level rise, which is predicted to rise by between 30cm and 1m by 2100.

There is no doubt the Warmageddonists who are not interested in scientific study but only in keeping their snotty snouts in the trough of taxpayers money, will stick their fingers in their ears and go LA LA LA when any intelligent, level headed sceptic (aka denier or heretic) trying to initiate a discussion on this or band together like Nazi thugs to shout down anyone raising the issue in comment threads. Thus The Daily Stirrer which is not a scientific journal nor a respectable publication will take its usual robust stance against the scientific dictatorship.

We will remind you in closing that there is more genuine scientific understanding in the steam off our contributors piss than the who climate science lobby can muster between them.

Bank Of England To Print Money To Avoid Recession


Monetary policy policy-makers at Bank of England have unveiled plans to inject an extrat Ł50bn of stimulus money into the economy in an attempt to avert a second recession. Before we go on to look at how much harm this wil;l do there are one or two things that must be understood. When we talk about printing money in a modern economy it is not simply a question of buying paper and printing ink and setting up the presses.

Most money these days exists only as digital information in computer systems so there is actually no printing involved. What happens is the a government or central bank sells bonds on which interest must be paid untill the fixed date on which they buyer may redeem them. Buyers of those bonds move some unmbers from their computer to the seller's computer to provide liquidity (i.e. the government has money to lend to banks and corporate interests but must pay interest on it which for the past few years has been higher than the rate at which the government lends out the money.

It gets worse however, because as so many nations have maxed out their credit with the bond traders and investors now, what actually happens is the government buys in the bonds issued by its own central bank.

Selling bonds also devalues the domestic currency of the organisation that sells them thus prices rise, profits are squeezed and jobs are destroyed. Quantitative easing is a bad idea all round. The justification is that it promotes growth in the economy but such growth is as illusory as the growth experience through the years from 1992 to 2000 and 2002 to 2007 when artificially inflated asset values underwrote loans and fuelled a debt driven boom.

The Bank Monetary Policy Committee voted to increase its quantitative easing programme, which will take the total assets purchased to Ł325bn since the process was first started in March 2009. It said the latest round of purchases would take three months to complete.

Interest rates were left on hold at 0.5pc as expected.

In a statement accompanying the decision, the Bank justified its decision by citing a weak ecotnomy, uncertain outlook, and falling inflation. It said without more stimulus, inflation was more likely to fall below the 2pc target in the medium-term. It may seem strange that the bank fears falling inflaiton while politicians fear rising inflation but this is because with prices rising while the economy is stagnant or contracting pay increases to help consumers cope only set off an inflationary spiral.

The Bank said: "In the United Kingdom, the underlying pace of recovery slowed during 2011, with activity falling slightly during the final quarter. Some recent business surveys have painted a more positive picture and asset prices have risen. But the pace of expansion in the United Kingdom’s main export markets has also slowed and concerns remain about the indebtedness and competitiveness of some euro-area countries."

In truth the global economy is still contracting so economic policies based on the certainty of economic growth are a forlorn hope.

Greek trump card fails as stronger Europe shrugs off break-up threat

John de Roe

The European Union's strongest economies and institutions for the first time gave a clue that they are willing to risk a Greek default and the departure from the European Monetary System (EMS aka The Euro) if Athens refuses to comply with austerity demands. The governments and central banks calculate that the eurozone is now strong enough to withstand the shock of a member state leaving.

The European Central Bank’s flood of cheap credit for three years has removed the immediate threat of a banking crisis and proved a powerful tonic for confidence, transforming the character of the crisis. In a classic example of political short termism the political leaders have forgotten that all democratically elected governments must face the voters and as the burden of supporting bankrupt nations like Greece, Portugal, Ireland and others is shifted from foreign governments and investors to EU taxpayers the Euro system is going to be about as popular as plague and parties that support it will pay dearly for doing so.

Bond yields have plummeted in both Italy and Spain since November as we poor taxpayers are forced to lend these spendthrift governments to money that will enable them to continue of their course of borrowing from prosperous counties to support their drunken, lazy, flatulent populations. The effect of picking the pockets of north European taxpayers has been to nullify Greece’s trump card: the implicit threat to bring down the whole edifice if treated too harshly.

"It’s not the end of the world if someone leaves the eurozone," said Neelie Kroes, the European Commission vice-president, uttering in public a view already prevalent in Berlin and other northern capitals as Greek rescue costs rise by a further €15bn to €145bn.

"It’s always said, if you let one nation go, or ask one to leave, the entire structure will collapse. But that is just not true," she told De Volksrant.

Unfortunately it is, if the country is Germany, the powerhouse economy that holds the whole crypto - Marxist illusion together.

Greece’s EU commissioner Maria Damanaki said "contingency plans" are now under way for a Greek withdrawal. "The policy for Greece is internal devaluation within the eurozone but there is preparation for other solutions, if Greece doesn’t make it on the euro zone path," she said. If only life were that easy.

News on the debt crisis is, as ever, confusing. As the bureaucrats try to bluff it out latest figures from Germany show the Eurozone's biggest and most solvent economy is in trouble.

Trade data from Germany shown German exports fell at their fastest rate in three years in December raising concerns that the eurozone debt crisis has damaged the German economy more than is acknowledged.

Data from Germany’s Federal Statistics Office revealed seasonally-adjusted exports fell 4.3pc in December - far more than the 1pc decline that analysts had forecast. For the whole year, German exports topped €1trillion for the first time - at €1.06trillion - but fell sharply at the end of the year as the debt crisis worsened.

The December figures round off a bad week for the German economy after data on Tuesday that showed industrial output fell 2.9pc month-on-month in December, also representing the biggest fall since January 2009.

Economists said together the data suggest the Germany economy, which rebounded after the 2008 financial crisis due to its strong exports, contracted more than expected in the final quarter of 2011. Last month the official statistics office said the economy probably contracted by 0.25pc in the final quarter of 2011.

At the same time, German imports in December dropped by 3.9pc when they had been forecast to rise by 0.6pc. For the whole year, imports were a record €902bn.

U.S. Drones target aid workers and mourners at funerals

. by Ed Butt

Another "We Told You So" moment for The Daily Stirrer. We have reported many times that the Obama administration is interfereing in places where it has no business interfereing all around the middle east and east Africa. "President" Obama announced with great fanfare and to rapurous cheering from his pseudo - liberal, crypto - Nazi supporters that in any conflict his administration would support "the rebels". There's a fine example of the inteligence and analytical skills he is suppsed to excel at.

The Daily Stirrer has taken some stick fromfuckwits, hand wringers and bleeding hearts over our non interventionist stance on both Libya and Syria and in other trouble spots. Yes we know people are dying at the hands of oppressive regimes. We, however, doubt that replacing these tyrannical rulers with even more oppressive regimes controlled by religious fanatics really achieves anything on behalf of the people our leaders claim they are trying to help.

We are no longer alone in pointing the finger at Obamaland when we talk of terrorist states. Unlike his predecessors in the role of President, Obama is not content to to intervene when American interests are threatened. The closet Muzza who conned America wants to intervene wherever it is possible to replace a secularist dictator with an Islamist therocracy.

from The Daily Beast:

A report by the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism may undercut President Obama’s claim that U.S. drones haven’t caused many civilian casualties. According to the bureau, the U.S. has repeatedly targeted rescuers who responded to the scene of a drone strike, as well as mourners at funerals. It found that at least 50 civilians have been killed in the follow-up strikes and another 20 at funerals. The report is based on interviews with witnesses in Pakistan’s tribal area, and American officials have questioned its accuracy.

read full story from The Bureau Of Investigative Journalism

We say of Assad as we said of Gadaffi, yes we know he is a nasty piece of work whose brutal regime cares only about holding on to power, yes we know he treats some of his people abominably. But ... he is Syria's problem not ours and until he threatens western interests or our allies in the region that is how it should remain. And ... Obama, the murderer and war criminal must not be allowed to flout international law any longer. He habitually flouts American law because he hates white America and the US constitution, that is America's problem, but only in his own warped, megalomaniacal mind is he President Of The Entire Univers and everything else besides. The rest of the world's leaders must stand up to him and sideline him in international affairs before his vanity and egomania starts World War Three.

Can The Euro Survive If Greece Leaves The Single Currency System?
by John de Roe
Away with banners and air horns and out with batons and knuckleduster in Athens this afternoon as a wave of public protests agiants the EU imposed austerity measures and the hijack of Greeek democracy by European bureaucrats swept the country.. Greek police have been trying to disperse protesters with tear gas, leading to a few violent clashes outside parliament.

Police say up to 8,000 people took part in the protest outside the government headquarters. Another 6,000 joined in a separate demonstration organised by Communist union PAME, AP reports. Earlier, protesters had burned a German flag in front of the parliament building, while the Greek news agency AFP reports that some tried to set raise one that portrayed the Nazi swastika. Many Greeks blame Germany for their economic plight and compare Germany's economic domination of the EU with theb Nazi occupation during World War 2. This is a measure of how high anti E U feeling is running.

Today the Greek government will be drafting a final document on the terms of its €130bn bail-out which will be put to the parliamentary coailition for approval, according to reports.

Speaking in Brusels where he is meeting Greek leaders to negotiate a new package of austerity measures on which a second EU bail out of the Greek economy will depend the Marxist internationalist and cheerleader for a totalitarian global government José Manuel Barroso said:

I think all Europe has now the eyes in Athens. We are in a very decisive moment regarding the future in Greece and future or euro. We want Greece in the euro. The European Commission has made it clear from the beginning that it is very important not only for Greece but the euro and for the European project to keep Greece in the euro.

For that we are urging the political parties in Greece to make a commitment to the common goals. I think it is very important for them, it is very important to support the efforts that we are deploying together with the Greek government so that we can have a program, a new program for Greece that we can keep Greece in the euro area.

But I think, and I want to say very clearly, the costs of a "default" of Greece, the costs of a possible exit of Greece of the euro would be much higher than the costs of continuing to support Greece. This is very important. Of course, it also means that Greece undertakes clearly, unambiguously, to make the necessary adjustment efforts.

Clearly the man who only a few weeks ago was talking about expanding the EU to include nations in the middle east and North Africa has come face to face with a bit of reality.

Elsewhere a euro break-up plan is being drafted by French economists:

We have a few few extracts, loosely translated by Ian whose French is excellent for seduction but barely adequate for business:

"The obstinate determination of governments to take us by forced march deeper into the euro impasse can only lead to the general aggravation of the economic situation in Europe."

"Although our American and Chinese competitors have an interest in the survival of the single currency, the euro is condemned to an uncontrollable explosion sooner or late". (A very Gallic twist that one, inverting the false and widely believed conspiracy theory that the US is trying to destroy the euro. In fact Barack Obama, a lackey of the New World Order is among those pushing for a bigger Union.)

"National currencies should be recreated in each eurozone country". There will be a short transition period of dual notes as old euros are stamped by country ('U' for France) until new francs etc are printed. (This is what happened when the Austro-Hungarian monetary union fell apart in 1919.)

The Dutch appear to be confused about how to handle the latest crisis. Prime Minister Mark Rutte, vice-president of the European Commission and EU competition commissioner Neelie Kroes say Greece could leave the euro without damaging the EU's monetary union as pressure mounts on the Greek government to agree terms for the country's €130bn bail-out.

Dutch finance minister Jan Kees de Jager has been quick to disagree with colleague Neelie Kroes' opinion that the eurozone could survive without Greece (see 08.53). He said:

If a chaotic situation in Greece could hurt all of us and that is why we are doing all we can to keep Greece in the Eurozone. But it is essential the Greek leaders act now and implement all necessary measures. At the same time, the Eurozone is stronger than a year ago because of all the decisions we have taken to prevent contagion.

Romania's new PM started talks today to form a new Government. The previous one collapsed after austerity protests swept the country, just like they have in Greece today.

UN Veto On Military Action Against Syria Shames The West Says Hague

by Ed Butt

In yesterday's United Nations Secirity Council meeting Russia and China provoked international outrage for using the veto to block attempts to initiate military intervention by the west in Syria's internal affairs ostensibly to end the violence but really to bring about regime change.

UK Foreign Secretary William Hague accused the two major military powers of encouraging further bloodshed after they blockeda resolution that would permitted western powers to offer the kind od support to the Islamist rabble that has risen up against President Assad as NATO forces had supported the rag tag alliance of dissidents that rebelled against Gadaffi in Libya. He described the vero as "an hour of shame" for the United Nations.

Intense diplomatic efforts failed to secure their support for an Arab League-backed plan for President Bashar Assad to relinquish power and allow democratic elections.

We cannot expect intelligence from William Hague, a man who does not even seem to know if he is queer or straight. But as foreign secretary he should know that the UN Charter specifically forbids foreign powers to take sides in a civil conflict. The regimes of Gadaffi and Assad have both suppressed opposition for many years. They were and are bastards. But they were and are Libya's and Syria's bastards and dealing with them is for the people of those nations.

A brutal crackdown by the Damascus government against "pro-democracy protesters" reached new extremes, with more than 200 reported killed in a bombardment of the southern city of Homs according to mainstream media.

There are two ironies here. First: western leaders talk of democracy but both Gadaffi and Assad had the support of more than half their people. Second: in Egypt and Tunisia, two countries where an Arab Spring uprising has led to free elections after long term tyrants were overthrown, sweeping victories have been gained by extremist Islamist parties hostile to the west and that have pledged to impoose Sharia law.

Is there any sense in overthrowing an ally and replacing him with an enemy? No matter how repugnant the regime, there is always a big risk in tribal societies that what follows will be worse.

Education: A Generation Of Schoolchildren lack reading skills for Dickens

by Ian Thorpe "A generation of schoolchildren lack the skills needed to read Dickens after being “reared on dreadful television programmes”, a leading author has warned. - The Observer"

Claire Tomalin, a popular biographer, has said many pupils leave school with such poor attention spans that they are unable to read books such as Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities.

Speaking as the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth begin, she said his stories were still “amazingly relevant” to young people but most struggled to read a whole novel even though Dickens' texts were considerably shorter than the doorstoppers of today.

Ms. Tomalin's comments come amid growing concerns about children's attitudes towards reading as a recreational activity.

According to figures from examining boards, the number of pupils taking a GCSE in English literature has dropped by 12 per cent in the last four years – dipping below 500,000 for the first time.

Ministers are concerned that the demands placed on schoolchildren have been “too low for too long”, with fewer than one in 100 teenagers who sat the most popular English exam last year basing their answers on novels published prior to 1900.

Middle East Problems Getting Worse

Human rights groups claim 200 civilians killed in Syria by government troops as demands for the removal of President Bashar al-Assad's regime goes before the UN security council. Masssacre In Homs Ahead Of UN Vote On Syrian Regime

As news of the violence spread, a crowd of Syrians stormed their country's embassy in Cairo and protests broke out outside Syrian missions in Britain, Germany and the United States. The Syrian government says reports of the violence and numbers of dead is greatly exaggerated and is part of an orchestrated campain to influence the UN to authorise military intervention to achieve regime change as it did in Libya.

Western diplomats in New York said the latest violence might make it more difficult for Russia to block it. "Would they dare, with what is happening in Homs?" one told Reuters news agency.

Significantly the Arab television news channel Al-Jazeera said witnesses spoke of nail bombs raining down and incessant shelling. These are not the kind of weapons Assad's well equipped army would use, they are rebel weapons.

At UN Headquarters the Security Council is due to vote on Saturday on a draft resolution endorsing an Arab League plan calling for Assad to resign. It is unclear if Russia will abstain or use its veto. Moscow has opposed significant security council action on Syria.

Russia has balked at any language that would open to door to "regime change" in Syria, its crucial Middle East ally where Moscow operates a naval base. The Russians and Chinesae are still angry that a loosely phrased resolution permitting humanitarian interevention in Libya to prevent civilian deaths as the Gadaffi regime moved to put down a disorganised and politically fragmented rebellion was used as an excuse for arming and providing air support for rebels thus ensuring the fall of Gaddafi.

It seems western taxpayers are about to have their pockets picked again to fund another of U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama's vanity wars.

The Daily Stirrer find it astounding that all tyhese diplomata and leaders who are suppoedly so intelligent cannot see the obvious solution to all this. Tell the rebels, "It's eff all to do with us, if you don't want the government to kill people, stop attacking them. Simples."

Environment Minister Resigns. Environment Shouts 'There Is A God'

by Ed Butt

Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne resigned this morning from his role as Energy Secretary after being charged alongside his ex-wife Vicky Pryce with perverting the course of justice over speeding cover-up allegations. Mr Huhne and Miss Pryce have both been charged with the same offence after Miss Pryce allgeged that he asked her to take speeding points on his behalf. They will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on February 16th.

The pair now face the prospect of a criminal trial over allegations that they conspired to pervert the course of justice. The offence carries a maximum life sentence.

This morning, soon after the charges were announced by the Criminal Prosecution Service (CPS), Mr Huhne resigned his Cabinet position. He told the press after his announcement: "I am innocent of these charges and I intend to fight them in the courts and I am confident a jury will agree. So as to avoid any distratction to my official duties or my trial defence, I am standing down as Energy and Climate Change Secretary. I will of course continue to serve my constituents in Eastleigh. That is all I have to say." If found guilty and given a jail sentence Mr. Huhne will have to reliquish his Parliamentary seat.

The alleged offence is said to have taken place in March 2003 and is unlikely to have ever come to the attention of the police had Miss Pryce, who separated from Mr Huhne in 2010, not made allegations in a Sunday newspaper last year.

She told the Sunday Times that Mr Huhne had asked someone “close to him” to take the points so he could avoid a driving ban. It later emerged she was apparently referring to herself.

While Huhne continues to protest his innocence no date will be set for the by election in his consituency. Boggart Blog sympathises with the former ministers perdicament even though we have pilloried him mercilessly for his zealot's belief in the efficacy of wind turbines.

Argentina accuses Britain of using the Falklands as a distraction from economic woes

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/falklandislands/9058760/Argentina-accuses-Britain-of-using-the-Falklands-as-a-distraction-from-economic-woes.html Argentina has accused David Cameron's government of fanning the row over the Falklands Islands in an attempt to distract the British public from high unemployment. The moves "have to do with British domestic politics, with the high unemployment," said Vice President Amado Boudou yesterday. "This is an attempt to cover for a government that has a low level of accomplishment." He spoke as a small group of protesters marched on the UK embassy in Buenos Aires, burning a British flag. A branch of the British-owned bank HSBC was also attacked yesterday. Tensions over the Falklands have been rising as the 30-year anniversary of the war between Argentina and Britain approaches. The clashes came as Prince William arrived in the Falklands for a six-week stint with the Royal Air Force. Buenos Aires has labelled him a "conqueror" and called his deployment a "provocation", but the UK has insisted it is merely routine. London has also announced that it will deploy one of the country's most lethal warships, the HMS Dauntless, to the area. Buenos Aires has accused the British government of trying to militarise the conflict. RELATED POSTS: Cameron, Blair, Obama and that Coriolanus thing

Egypt Football Riot kills dozens

Remember the hope and anticipation that followed the downfall of former Egyptian President Honsi Mubarack. Remember how American President Barack Hussein Obama strutted around the world stage as if he had personally led the protests in Tahir Square that led to the overthrow of the dictator's regime? Remember how The Daily Stirrer told you it would all end in tears?

After the outbreak of violence at a football game in Port Said last night the newly elected governing party, the Muslim Brotherhood were blaming secularist supporters of Mubarack for the deaths.

One of the Muslim Brotherhood’s leaders, Essam el-Erian said the people in former military dictatorship was behind the violence.

“The events in Port Said are planned and are a message from the remnants of the former regime,” Mr el-Erian, now vice-president of the Brotherhood-backed Freedom and Justice Party and an MP, said.

“This tragedy is the result of negligence and the lack of army and police, and those running the country bear the responsibility. There are those who deliberately want to sow chaos in the country and place obstacles in front of the peaceful transfer of power.”

There was little evidence to back the accusation, but Thursday is the anniversary of the day that supporters of the Mubarack regime mounted on horses and camels charged the protesters in Tahrir Square in an attempt to save President Tahir’s political life.

The violence is a sign of the breakdown of law and order and lack of security in Egypt following last year’s revolution. The uprising was in triggered by outrage at unchecked brutality by police, and one of the Mubarak regime’s first responses was to call them off the streets and put the army in charge of protests. Protesters were also protesting about rising food and fuel prices and unemployment. Since it became clear the Muslim Brotherhood party was going to gain a sweeping victory in election to the new quasi democratic government there has been widespread persecution of Egyptian Christians by supporters of the Islamist party.

As the situation in Egypt continues to deteriorate we are also hearing whispers about renewed violence in Libya as supporters of Gadaffi, who always had more than half the nation behind him, are regrouping and attacking installations controlled by the interim government.

In both these nations we see a demonstration of the folly of western leaders in interfering in the internal affairs of foreign counties with cultures very different to ours And yet Obama and sycophantic politicians like Cameron and Sarkozy are even now positioning themselves for military intervention in Syria and armed conflict with Iran, regardless of the fact that both have the support of Russian and China.

It's Time Politicians Were MadeTo Admit The True Effects Of Mass Migration
Whenever the issue of mass migration is raised in public, most politiciansa probably explain the relationship between immigration and growth. But I’m not going to do that, not least because even the country’s leading economists can’t seem to agree on which is the best though none will admit that mass immmigration by low skilled, poorly educated labourers to a country with a high tech economy and a shortage of skilled and professional workers can only be negative.

Storm Shadow for Ukraine? Starmers Says Yes, Uncle Sam Says No
Ukraine's President Zelensky, after meeting UK Prime Minister and current warmonger in chief 'Sir' Keir SStĂźrmer has ben relying on Britain to lead the charge of the Allies to be first to supply Kiev with weapons enabling then to strike targets deep within Russian territory. It is true Starmer has said he wants the UK to 'lead he world' in giving the Ukies the support they need to start World War Three and several other policies whivh can only result in the destruction of civilised society.

Are Woke Governments Trying To Ban Hate Or Simply Trying To Abolish Dissent?
All around the developed world laws are being enacted which seek to criminalise, and thereby abolish, hate. Along with the ideological idiocies of the 'woke' wankerati, the promotion of transgenderism, net zero trashing national economies, support for mass migration, recently rediscovered enthusiasm for war, and the extreme reactions to those who challenge official narratives, it seems are trying to redefine what makes us human.

Islamists Are Slaughtering Thousands of Christians But the Media Don’t Tell Us
If 16.2 million Muslims been forced to leave their homes in sub-Saharan Africa due to violent persecution by Christians, we can imagine the news coverage by Western nrews media organisations such as the BBC or The Guardian would feature video reports by excitable talking heads or prited headlines taking up half a page about racism. There would be no effort to be objective or present a balanced view, the two sides in the conflict would be clearly lablled

Welcome To The World Of Alternative Food Brought To You By People Who Live In An Alternative Reality
Last week The Guardian ran an interview with Owenn Ensor, CEO of Meatly, the lab grown meat company that is perpared to work with any billionaire psychopath who wants to invest in making us eat fake meat. Among the pblic relations puff Ensor claimed “Cultivated meat is safer, kinder, more sustainable. ”Just the next day the same organisation reported on a “new study” that found “Plant-based meat alternatives are eco-friendlier and mostly healthier”.

Is Artificial Intelligence A Threat To Privacy And Free Speech?
Businesses, government organisations and even our humble laptop and desktop computers at home are being under constant attack, not by hackers and cybercriminals but by Search Engine Operators, Social Media Networks and online marketplaces. So what’s the last thing we need corportions like Microsoft, Alphabel and Apple to do? Actually it is the very thing they are doing, which is to make the attacks easier,

Can Bus Sized Lithium Ion Batteries Power Britain
The project has, predictably, provoked local opposition. “This might become an industrial area more than the farming land it’s been for the last thousand years,” says Jamie Ingham Clark, of the Claydons Solar Action Group, “Battery storage sites should be on brownfield – they should not take away our ability to grow food.”

Keir Starmer's Marxist And Trotskyite Policies Are Showing His True, Extremist, Authoritaeian Political Nature At Last
Things have not gone as expected since Sir Keir Starmer became UK Prime Minister. While some commentators in the Conservative section of the media are still clingig to the belief that SStĂźrmer is a decent man and politically a centre left Social Democrat. Surely, it was thought, such a moderate leader could not keep the anti - white racist David Lammy in post as Foreign Secretary. Nor could he retain the swivel eyed loony Ed Miliband, who has always been a climate change zealot, in charge of environmental policy

Authoritarians Escalate The War On Free Speech
For around thre decades now, in quite ubtle ways, and more latantly over the past five years, American, British, Canadian, Australian, French, German and Brazilian governments have unleashed a series of all out assaults on dissent and criticism of authority against political opponents, weaponising the justics system against the exercise of free speech

The Situation In Britain Is Getting Very Ugly As The Government Wages War On The People
It has been apparent for a long time that there is a breakdown coming in the relationship between the Government and the people, and things are going to get messy. The election of a labour government to replace the clapped out Conservative in early July only seems to have accelerated the process There will be misery and hardship, there may well be blood on the streets. And for most of us the only thing we can do is try to tough it out ...

Governments are still lying about the deaths and serious health problems caused by COVID vaccines
The Boggart Bloggers were not alone in being profoundly sceptical about the COVID19 pandemic that was top of the news from 2020 to 2023 and is still disrupting lives today, even though we now know the manufactured virus was much less of a threat to most of us than the DNA editing injections passed off as vaccines, though they did not make people immune to COVID and in fact, as studies have shown, made people more likely to be affected by the disease.

Risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,’ because of Ukie drone strikes warns IAEA“There is a risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,” said Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following his visit on Tuesday (27 August) to the facility in Kurchatov, close to the Russian border and the area curenly occupied by Ukrainian troops. He added that he had been shown evidence of damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.

Governments are still lying about the deaths and serious health problems caused by COVID vaccines
Througout 2021, when the vaccines were launched early in the year, on through 2022 and into 2023 the official mantra was that Covid vaccines were “Safe and Effective,” and the official narrative was that the unvaccinated could infect and possibly cause the deaths of people who were vaccinated. This was said more by politicians and officials than by manufacturers, who likely were mindful of the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) Code of Conduct and similar regulations in other developed nations.

The People Who Stole Our Freedom Are Now Trying To Steal Our Humanity
SEVERAL recently published articles by Doctors and Professors distinguished in various fields of medical and biological research have warned us about the effectiveness and dangers of the largely-untested mRNA technology. While their research and studies have been debunked by online fact checkers (controlled by political agencies, corporate cartels and billionaire psychopaths with a vested interest in silencing people who might expose their crimes against humanity ...

Reports Of The WHO Climbdown On Its World Domination Plan Are Greatly Exaggerated
Nation States are being asked to sign up to this revised set of regulations which are now being referred to as The Pandemic Treaty because they will, if accepted, seemingly enable the World Health Organisation (a cabal of unelected bureaucrats,) on declaration of a 'Pandemic' to usurp the powers of sovereign governments.

Britain's Self Destructive Race To Net Zero Is Driven By Corruption In High Places
Late last year it was revealed that almost half the Conservative Party MPs in the U.K. Parliament belong to a group promoting extreme Net Zero ideas that is funded by a small group of green billionaires led by the ECF and CAF, along with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers and Oak Foundation.

How Many Billions of People Would Die Under Net Zero?
BBC wildlife documentary presenter Chris Packham has hit back at claims reported on Neil Oliver‘s GB News show that half the world’s population could die if Net Zero was implemented in full. This is a bit hypocritical of Packham, who has been claiming millions will die because of climate change caused by human activity for decades.

The Truth Has Become An Enemy Of The State And Must Be Kept Hidden At All Costs
Several industries have grown out of the need of globalist governments to keep the majority of the population in a state of fear in order that We The People will not rise up against the oppressive policies related to climate change, health tyranny, mass immigration, surveillance and censorship, technological dictatorship, and the suspension of our civil rights and liberties ...

Hate-crime Laws Are An Attack On Free Speech And A Violation Of Human Rights
Hate crime seems to be the only crime the police, the judiciary and the lawmakers are interested. But when some act or statement, either spoken or written, can be defined as a criminal act of 'hate speech' by anyone who decides they are offended by it, is the prosecution the alleged offender anything to do with justice, or is it the weaponisation of law against freedom and human rights?

The World Is being Dragged Towards War And Western Weakness Is To Blame
This week's news so far has focused on the worsening situation in the middle east, as western leaders appear to be accepting that there was from day one no way Ukraine could win its war with Russia and that since US and NATO leaders refused to allow Ukraine to negotiate a settlement based on the reasonable terms offered by Russia at the Istanbul in April 2022 there is now no way Ukraine can avoid a crushing defeat or survive as a nation in the aftermath.

Iran Has Yet To Play Its Strongest Card
A few days days ago the container ship MSC Aries was boarded in the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces and forced to anchor off the coast of Iran. The incident was overshadowed by the Iranian drone and missile attacks on Israel and was hardly mentioned by mainstream media. However as far as the western nations are concerned this incident is potentially far more significant.

Huge Protests In Japan Against WHO’s Pandemic Treaty As Citizens Rebel Against WHO Health Fascism
Thousands of citizens across Japan took to the streets today protesting against the World Health Organisation's (WHO) pandemic treaty. Democratically elected governments are aligning themselves behind this authoritarian and dictatorial power grab by unelected bureaucrats, and escalating concerns over “infectious disease” and “public health” with propaganda about future pandemics of diseases that have not yet been created.

Gates Foundation funded study punlished by The Lancet exposes failure of COVID vaccines and lockdowns
A study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, with the short title the “Global Burden of Disease” (the full title is so long its almost an article in itself,) has become the latest in a long line of peer - reviewed academic publications to expose the failure of pandemic interventions such as lockdowns and vaccines.

European Parliament Approves Controversial Migration Pact; Furious Nationalists Vow To Bring It Down After EU Elections
The European Parliament has approved the controversial EU Asylum and Migration Pact, which will see countries forced to accept new arrivals into or pay a fine for every migrant they reject. The new asylum and migration package was passed largely with votes from lawmakers affiliated with the European People’s Party, the Socialists and Democrats (S&D), and Renew Europe ...

Is The Internet Killing Democracy?
What is happening to democracy in Europe? While we in England laugh at the contortions of the Scottish and Irish governments as they attempt to justify to an already alienated voter base their authoritarian policies, notably the 'hate speech' laws that are so loosely drafted anyone in either of those countries could find him or herself in prison for saying anything about anything

Former human 'Ken' Doll, Now A Woman, Teaches J K Rowling On Womanhood
A bizarre news item on GB News reported that a transgender person who was born male and had previously transformed himself into a “human Ken doll” (how own description,) had attacked author JK Rowling, over her views on people who think they can change sex on a whim with critics accusing her of 'hate crime' while supporters say those who demand she apoligise are suppressing free speech.

EU Technocrats Plan To Shut Down European Agricultural Industry
European farmers will gather in Brussels on Tuesday to demand guarantees from the EU Commission that changes to policy will be made to ensure the European agricultural sector remains viable. They will also demand a relaxation of the regulatory regime, and for Brussels to abandon free trade agreements with countries outside the EU, which are now being used to bring cheap into European markets

Dystopia Watch: German Intelligence Chief Defends Efforts to Surveil Citizens “Thought and Speech Patterns”
The German Homeland Security Ministry, in stubbornly trying to defend its controversial and widely criticised plans to control the speaking and writing engagements, and restrict the access to travel and economic activity of political dissidents (and their definition of political dissidents can mean members of mainstream political parties that oppose the ruling coalition.

Christianity’s Decline Has Not Ushered In A Scientific Utopia But Why Has Prof. Dawkins Come Out As A Cultural Christian.
When his best selling non - fiction book 'The God Delusion' was causing multiple sensationalist responses in print and broadcast mediaalmost 20 years ago Richard Dawkins was for a time the star of the New Atheism movement. Now, his having spoken of being a cultural Christian is is causing consternation amongst militant atheists, progressives and The Church of Scientism cult.

Death Of Democracy: Government's Dare Not Tell Us What The WHO Is Pushing Them To Sign Up To
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is currently ramping up pressure on governments of states signed up to support it to accept its International Health Regulations Amendments (IHRs). The problem is We The People have not been allowed to know what our leaders are considering signing up to.

Forget The Transition To Renewables - The Elites Are Gaslighting Whole World
Gaslighting is a process of constantly drip-feeding false information to another person or people, effectively causing them to doubt their own perception of the world. If done intentionally in order to cause the target to doubt their [correct] perception it is what governments describe as “nudging”, i.e. gradually pushing or steering the subject towards acceptance of a belief contrary to that person's experience or observation based conclusion.

German Government Moves To Ban Dissent - Haven't They Been Here Before?
Germany's coalition government is in deep trouble, as we reported a couple of weeks ago. Polls, for what they're worth, show that chancellor Olaf Scholz’s ‘traffic light’ coalition of the Social Democrats, Greens and Free Democrats – is the least-popular government since surveys began in 1997. Given that a staggering 76 per cent of Germans polled say they are dissatisfied with its performance, it might well be the least-popular administration since the Second World War.

Globalists Say Climate Change Is A Threat To Democracy But The Real Threat Is Globalism
While most of the large economies in European are backing off their pledges on 'net zero', over in the USA, even as the public reject the scaremongering of climate alarmists, the increasingly crazy Biden administration are still trying to push this de-industrialisation agenda without without any apparent concern for public opinion or for the misery and impoverishment The Childsniffer's regime is inflicting on many Americans.

Tractors Are Heading For Central London As UK Farmers Protest
Scores of farm tractors from all over Britain were reported to be converging on Westminster as British farmers finally ran out of patience and pushed back against what they say is a lack of government support.

Swedish MP Makes Complete U-Turn On Open Borders, Says Mass Immigration Has Changed The Country

‘We’re Not At War With Russia,’ Germany's Chancellor Scholz tells Warmongering French Ouanqeur Macron
Though Macron's recent posturing as a reincarnated Napoleon by calling on his fellow European leaders to send troops to fight alongside the Ukrainian military may have been nothing more than an ill - advised attempt to deflect attention from online conspiracy theories that his wife Brigitte is, or was at some time in the past, a man, the ploy, if that is what it was, has backfired.

Germany Running Out Of Money, Debt Levels Exploding - The Price Of War, Open Borders And Net Zero?
An urgent warning about the state of Germany's finances has been given by Finance Minister Christian Lindner. Lindner has bluntly told the government that state borrowing are growing out of hand, and the government urgently needs to reduce spending.

Dutch Election Betrayed As Geert Wilders As EU Brokered Opposition Party Blocks Efforts To Form A Ruling Coalition
Geert Wilders, leader of the victorious Freedom Party in last November's Dutch General Election has been forced to give up his efforts to form a coalition that could command a majority in the Netherlands' state assembly and now accepts he will not be the next prime minister of the Netherlands after talks based on him leading the next government were unsuccessful.

The Theraputic Society Is Destroying Civilisation
Many of the problems afflicting Britain and its neighbours appear to be related to what has been called The Theraputic Society, Nanny State and paternalistic liberalism. As government grows, corporate industry and private business is increasingly coming to resemble the public sector, ruled less by economic rationality than by an intrusive bureaucracy functioning increasingly like an HR department.

UK Gov. Fossil Fuels U Turn Means Its All Over For Net Zero
The Announcement made by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged at last that to keep the lights and heating on in our homes and the wheels of industry turning it will be necessary to start building new gas-fired power plants because the great science backed leap to transition energy productions to clean, green, pollution free, sustainable, renewable, blah blah blah sources has failed dismally.

Double Blow To Irish Woke Wonks - Voters Reject ‘Progressive’ Reforms to the Constitution By Big Majorities
Simpering, limp wristed Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar whose government has faced protests because it is claimed they govern in the interests of the liberal elite and ignore the Irish people, suffered two blows to his ambition to turn Ireland into the wokest country in Europe last weekend. Varadkar admitted on Saturday that voters had delivered “two wallops” to the government, which, led by Leo himself, had pushed for a "Yes" vote on a pair of referendums.

Why Are Government Psyop Experts And Propagandists Distancing Themselves From Behavioural Science?
The state’s reliance on behavioural science strategies – ‘nudges’ – to influence compliance with covid restrictions has been widely documented. The many psychologists and behavioural scientists during the covid event (such as those in the SAGE group, and the Behavioural Insight Team, BIT ) have been assumed to hold some responsibility for using these methods in media campaigns.

‘Islamophobia’ Is Being Used By Islamists To Suppress Debate
“It is entirely right to call out anti-Muslim hatred”, says Pollard, adding that calling any criticism of Islam hate speech or Islamophobia to silence those who find some aspects of Islam barbaric is an attack on the right of free speech in the way that Jewish extremists will cry 'anti - semitism' whenever anybody utters reasonable criticism of the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians.

Britain To Harvest Power From Sahara Solar Farms Using 700ft Ship? Another Green Dream
World’s biggest cable-laying vessel will link Moroccan renewables with Devon substationread a headline in a UK mainsteam news website recently.

Austin reportedly said that “if Ukraine falls, I genuinely believe NATO will be fighting Russia.

And The War In Ukraine Grinds On
Due to the absence in this blog of reporting on the war in Ukraine readers may have come to the conclusion that we Boggart Bloggers no longer considered it important. That is not quite true, though we are still aware of the importance of Ukraine to the future of the liberal democracies in western Europe, we are only three old guys (with occasional contributions from friends in the alt_news community,) and have simply been overwhelmed by events closer to home.

8-Year-Old Boy’s ‘Severe’ Headaches Likely Caused by 5G Tower Near School
An 8-year-old developed severe headaches when he started attending a school near a 5G cell tower, according to a new peer-reviewed case study. The findings suggest the high levels of radiofrequency radiation at school caused the boy’s symptoms, the researchers concluded.

Major escalation: Polish farmers block Germany’s vital A2 Autobahn As EU Agricultural Rebellion Spreads
In line with their German, French, Belgian, Dutch and Spanish counterparts, farmers in Poland are staging a 24-hour blockade of the A2 Autobahn at the Swiecko border crossing into Germany. Although the protest may be a short term measure, any longer protest interfering with cross border traffic between Poland and Germany is potentially a major economic risk for both.

Farmers Blockades, Now In Second Week, Continue To Paralyze Spain
For the past 13 days Spanish farmers have blocked major roads, city centres and ports, dumping imports of cheap Moroccan vegetables and cereals on the roads and marching alongside slow moving stractors tractors into the centers of large cities. Protesting farmers took over the port of Santander and of last the weekend, bringing commercial activity to a stanstill. There are no signs the protests are coming to an end, either.

American Truckers BOYCOTT New York In Protest Over Democrat Judicial Witch Hunt Against Trump
So-called "MAGA truck drivers," always known to be big supporters of the former president, whom most believe was cheated out of a second term in favour or the blundering, demented Monarch of Mediocrity Joe Biden. They are making their feelings known about the apparent witch hunt in states and cities run by the Democrats and ludicrous damages awards made against him by Democrat activist judges in civil lawsuits based on very dubious evidence

Trans-women’s Milk As Good As Breast Milk, says NHS Trust
Is the no end to this politically correct lunacy in the National Health Service - no wonder the service is totally fucked up. The lunatics who run The University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust (USHT) have stated in a letter to campaigners, that breast milk produced by a trans woman (i.e. ladyboy, cathoey, chick-with-dick, jock-in-a-frock, biological male,) who were assigned male at birth is as good for babies as that produced by a mother who has given birth.

Climate Change Is About To Fry Us But The Gulfstream Slowing Will Freeze Us – WTF?
if you have read the latest research on the Gulf Stream published by Science Advances and are naive enough to believe it, you may have been relieved to learn that the world is getting on with decarbonisation quite nicely. It warns that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is closer to a tipping point than feared due to Greenland ice melt, which dilutes seawater salinity and weakens the gyres.

As The COVID Narrative Unravels The True Extent Of Vaccine Related Heart Problems Is Becoming Clear
Not many of us had heard of myocarditis before the great COVID hoax, I certainly hadn't and I was not alone, the disease is not even included in a list of common cardiovascular disorders.

Is Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Really A Pollutant Or Are The Green Blob Scamming Us all
A new study has been published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation, which claims that a phenomenon known as CO2 fertilization is contributing to increased greening of the globe. The authors of the study, “The global greening continues despite increased drought stress since 2000”, used the measurement of Leaf Area Index (LAI) to shows that more than half of the land area on earth is greening at an accelerated rate since 2000.

Farmers Rebellion Blockade Germany’s Biggest Airport
While the farmers' protests in France have entered a quieter phase after the government of Emmanuel Macron caved in to some of the agricultural workers most significant demands with a caveat from the French Farmers Union that they were ready to do it all again if the government did not deliver on its promises, in Germany things seemed to be getting even more heated over the weekend.

Chaos Erupts In Brussels As Rubber Bullets Fired At Farmers Protesting Outside EU Parliament
Belgian police used Rubber bullets and water cannons against hundreds of farmers who had travelled from around western Europe to protest outside the EU Headquarters in the city on Thursday.

Hottest Ever UK January Day - In One Small Village
Today’s high is not due to ‘climate change’ although Warmageddonists and climate alarmists have been quick to claim it is, but is a result of a rare phenomenon known as the Fohn (or Foehn) effect (literally ‘the hairdryer effect’) that sees isolated spots near mountains hit with a narrow blast of hot air.

The Never-Ending War On Cash
In the last few decades the global elites have been pushing to shift financial activity from cash and paper cheques towards a cashless world. Physical currency is under constant attack and the majority of the world’s money supply exists in intangible electronic form. Governments and financial institutions are actively promoting a cashless society, raising concerns about individual financial freedom

New Poll Of Super - Rich Shows The Elite Hate Us Ordinary Folk
... the real enemy, is not a political party but a group that stands outside the political arena to exert its malign influence. A shocking poll exposes the utter contempt in which the elite holds the general public, with more than three quarters wanting to ration food and energy to combat ‘climate change’ and a majority wanting air travel for holidays banned.

Net Zero Is Dying Says The Manhattan Contrairian - But Is It Taking Western Civilisation With It?
We Boggart Bloggers have always been sceptical of the Climate Change scam. And as most of our readers will be aware, the scam had to be rebranded as 'Climate Change' because after a brief (and statistically insignificant,) warming trend in the 1980s and 90 the apparent warming stopped until 2016 when there was a brief blip because of an El Nino event on the Pacific region before global mean temperatures started flatlining again ...

Impartiality? The BBC’s Blind Spot
The year has got off to a poor start for the BBC Identity Hub, led by Jon Buckley. Despite their clear significance, it decided against including several stories in its coverage. This is a specialist team ostensibly covering issues around gender identity, remember. First, there was the Women’s Rights Network report on trans-identified male police officers’ rights to search women’s orifices, which was so solid it led to an apparent shift in policy ...

Sweden SCRAPPING Agenda 2030 goals - Peter Sweden
The new right-wing government [ in Sweden ] is dismantling the goals outlined by the UN. They have scrapped renewable energy plans and have been pushing for more nuclear power. In the new year, Sweden REMOVED climate taxes on fuel, reducing diesel prices by over 4 SEK per litre. After the government removed climate taxes, prices reached almost as low as 17 SEK per litre.

War On Cash To Escalate In 2024
Early last week Boggart Blog learned Globalists within the US Government and the banking and finance industry have announced a plan to launch a Digital Fiat Currency that would enable seamless transfers of funds between banks and tax jurisdictions as a major step towards banning cash.

Destroying The Planet To Save It
In the stampede towards achieving 'Net Zero' perhaps a reality check is long overdue for the delusional Green Blob and the virtue signalling politicians. In order to save the planet from a largely imaginary threat based on an ideology behind which there is very little scientific and absolutely zero empirical evidence the solutions proposed by the Green Blob, apart from being so expensive they would destroy every functioning national economy on the planet, are going to be more damaging to the planet than continuing to burn coal and gas ...

NATO Considers Stricter Sanctions As Russia Sidesteps Oil Price Cap
The European Union is considering toughening up the sanctions on evaders of the price cap on Russian oil, almost none of which now trades below the ceiling of $60 per barrel.The price cap mechanism set by the G7 and the EU says that Russian crude shipments to third countries can use Western insurance and financing if cargoes are sold at or below the $60-a-barrel ceiling ...

Germany Burns Net Zero Pledges And Fires Up Coal Generating Plants Ahead Of Winter Peak Electricity Season
On Wednesday this week Germany's coalition government approved putting coal power plants back online until the end of March 2024 to ensure energy security when natural gas supplies cannot meet demand. Though Germany has for at least a decade vied with Britain to claim leadership of Europe's ill - advised push for net zero, the Berlin government has been forced into this move ...

AI experts are increasingly afraid of what they’re creating

Britain's newly installed Secretary of State for Energy, Grant Shapps, is still learning the job so perhaps we should cut him some slack, but even so a statement he made on our energy supply today shows astounding ignorance of technical details relating to his portfolio.
AnSwering a question in Parliament this morning about Britain's ability to reach its target of getting 40% of our energy needs from sustainable sources, Shapps sneered that it was not possible for us to reach 40% now as we already get 43% from wind. Unfortunately the sneering sarcasm was misplaced but served to reveal the man in charge of energy policy does not know the difference between energy and electricity.

Amazing Increase in Global Sea Ice Confounds the Net Zero Warmageddonists
According to a new study based on satellite data, in 2022 there is more Artic sea ice that at any time in the past 30 years. So why after all those dire predictions of doom and devastation has Arctic sea ice cover come roaring back so quickly over the last few years? Nobody knows – apparently not one scientist on the planet can tell you, writes Willis Eschenbach in a short essay for the climate alarmism watchdog site Watts Up With That?

UK Government Belatedly Discovers The Uselessness Of Sustainables In Relation To Energy Security
The policy that Boris Johnson's Premiership will be remembered for is nor 'getting Brexit done,' but the government's disastrous pledge to make Great Britain the first developed nation to achieve a 'net zero' national energy system. The neglect and running down of traditional energy systems (coal, gas, nuclear,) along with flushing money down the toilet by investing in intermitternt power sources (wind, solar,) rather than Putin's war in Ukraine is responsible for the current crisis.

The Truth About Coal And The Lies Of The Elite
So much for all the COP 26 banter late last year. Let me remind you. The elites all flew in on their private jets and promptly told us we’re all (royal we) getting off fossil fuels and killing coal.So how’s that turning out? The usage of coal is now at record highs:

Official Advice - Prepare For Blackouts This Winter

The UK government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call a "reasonable worst-case scenario" for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media. Naturally they are blaming this on the embargo on importing gas from Russia but in reality Britain has never imported any more than a small amout of its gas from Russia. The real reason politicians and energy company CEOs are panicking is entirely due to their obession with obtaining all our energy from intermittent sources like wind and sunshine ...

Net Zero Ed - The Most Significant British Politician Of The Century?
Have MPs got smaller or has Ed Miliband got bigger? Has he grown into his boots? Has he outgrown them? It’s easy to forget he has had more affect than any Labour politician in living memory. And not just because of his £2 membership drive that put the Labour party into special measures for five years. What other contenders are there? It’s true that Tony Blair’s war in Iraq had a widespread effect on the prospects of hundreds of thousands in the Middle East – but that will be insignificant against the leadership Ed displayed with his Climate Change Act.

Keep King Charlie Way From The Green Blob
A whole host of tree huggers, pimped up milk float drivers and Greta Thunberg fan club members think the recently ascended King Charles should go to COP27 as “sovereign of Tuvalu, a cluster of Pacific atolls sinking underwater.” The vision of Tuvalu island losing land to a rising sea is emotive, and it calls for a reaction. However, it might be best to first check the claim that Tuvalu is under threat because thirty seconds research will reveal such claims are bollocks. ... Continue reading >>>

Lockdowns, The Great Reset and the Unfolding Disaster That Is Globalism

In late 2019 and early 2020 and during the COVID era of lockdowns, mask mandates, etc., trillions of dollars were handed over, (via COVID-relief packages,) to elite interests while lockdowns and restrictions were imposed on ordinary people and small businesses.The winners were the global corporations like Amazon, Big Pharma and the tech giants. The losers were small enterprises, communities and the bulk of the population, deprived of their right to work and the entire panoply of civil rights their ancestors struggled for.

Europe's Economy And Living Standards Are Plummeting
As the multiple crises in Europe deepen with no sign of relief in sight, Oriental Review comments that the ill-considered sanctions against Russia, far from achieving their objective of pressuiring Moscow into ending its war in Ukraine, have exposed the deep rooted problems of the European Union which is rapidly approaching economic collapse.

Rishi Sunak Reveals How Boris Sold Us Out To Big Pharma and Globalism
it seems most people in Boris Johnson's cabinet during the run up to lockdowns were kept in the dark about many things, including the fact that 'The Science' on which lockdown policy was based was not science at all. Government was effectively reduced to a “quad” of ministers and their 'scientific advisers' deciding on Britain’s future. Rishi Sunak, at that time Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance secretary) was one of them. There were rumours at the time that Sunak repeatedly warned that lockdowns would inflict economic damage that was likely to endure for decades.

1 in every 73 People Vaccinated Against COVID Was Dead by May 2022 in England according to UK Government
The latest week’s data for UK deaths, for the week to 12 August 2022, reports some 1,082 more people than would be expected for this period in a normal year died in the UK. These represent the so - called excess deaths so-called that during the fear and panic stages of the COVID saga were reported so gleefully. Yet now, with the scare narrative winding down, excess deaths in the UK have averaged 1,000 for 15 weeks of this year. Bizarrely this newsworthy story has gone completely unreported by mainstream media, leaving the alt_news community to get out news of what is really happening to the world.

“Science” no longer trustworthy: BMJ suggests treating all health research as fraudulent until proven genuine
Former The British Medical Journal (BMJ) editor Richard Smith penned an opinion piece suggesting health research has become so corrupted people should just assume it is fraudulent.

Do We Have A Winter Of Civil Disobedience Ahead?
As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave. We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

Edinburgh Napier University's 'skills workbook' issued to midwifery BSc students has come under fire from the sane community in Scotland after it was revealed that students were instructed on how to assist biological males in giving birth. Now you might think that anybody sudying towards a degree in any of the natural or applied sciences would be aware that a biological male cannot give birth, but in the wonderful world of woke wankers such things are possible, you just have to make a wish and get Tinkerbellend to sprinkle fairy dust on the expectant mothers knob.

New UN Report on Climate Change – Nothing New, Nothing True
The latest United Nations (“UN”) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) report, published this week, once again, in scaremongering tone and the language of the panic stricken, claims that the planet is in peril (we are facing climate disaster, the clock is at one minute to midnight, we must take urgent action to destroy civilisation if we are to save the planet, the usual over - dramatised guff designed to spread fear and panic,) basically the same claim as they have been making at least twice a month for the past 20 years.

We need energy security – not Net Zero
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a major rethink in the West.

Net Zero Gone With The Wind - Boris Johnson Plans Seven New Nuclear Plants And Shelves Wind Expansion
Reports in mainstream media suggest Boris Johnson has done a U turn on his recently announced massive expansion of wind powered generating capacity.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

Putin, Macron To Hold Urgent Talks To Halt Military Escalation In Ukraine

How COVID Corrupted Science
Politicians who criticised AstraZeneca vaccine 'probably killed hundreds of thousands', says Oxford scientist in an outburst that reveals how the science acedemy have been totally owned by corporate money and thus have been guilty of lying, scaremongering, fabricating evidence, publishing fake statisics and spreadsing misinformation. And the politicians who told us to 'trust The Science' are just as guilty.

British Government Laundered Fake U.S. 'Intelligence' On Ukraine
The British government on Saturday accused Russia of organizing a plot to install a pro-Moscow government in Ukraine, as the Kremlin masses troops near the Ukrainian border. The U.K. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office gave relatively little information about the intelligence unveiled Saturday other than to say that the Russian government was considering trying to make a Russia-leaning former member of Ukraine’s parliament, Yevhen Murayev, the country’s new leader.

Governments' obsession with climate pseudoscience over economically and social viable solutions is leading to disaster
The government's current obsession with pursuing the target of net zero carbon emissions in order to claim the UK leads the world in green wankery is more to do with virtue signalling that governing, but with the complicity of mainstream media, particularly The BBC, climate scaremongering is providing a convenient diversion from this governments abject failure to address and of the very real economic and social problems facing us.

It may be driven by virtue signalling or self hatred but the urge to destroy civilisation in order to save the planet and the ideological agenda that drive the gree movement are too far removed from the realities of life to ever achieve their aims.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Leaked Documents suggest Moderna created its Coronavirus Vaccine BEFORE Covid-19 was known to exist
A confidentiality agreement shows potential coronavirus vaccine candidates were transferred from Moderna to the University of North Carolina in 2019, nineteen days prior to the emergence of the alleged Covid-19 causing virus in Wuhan, China.And now further evidence suggests the American pharmaceutical and biotechnology company that has made billions through the sale of said experimental injection, is actually responsible for creating the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Debunked: The Great Renewable Green Delusion
The war in Ukraine has not caused the global energy crisis of early 2022 byt merely exacerbated it.

Oh what a lovely war! Taking Sides In The Ukraine Conflict
I am a First Gulf War veteran and one of my sons, when very young, asked me which ‘team’ I had been on as if that was a choice for a British soldier. I was recently asked by one of my not so young grandsons which ‘team’ I supported in the war between Ukraine and Russia. Years of online gaming combined with a crumbling state educational system have led young boys to consider that war really is just a game.

The Dominance Of The U.S. Dollar Is Fading Right Before Our Eyes
It was just a couple of weeks ago that I wrote an article arguing that the economic sanctions we have cast upon in Russia, due to its invasion of Ukraine, likely mark the beginning of a period where China and Russia would bifurcate the global monetary system, leading them to eventually challenge the U.S. dollar’s reserve status. 

Now, Saudi Arabia is joining the fray, further threatening to tip the balance of the global monetary scales that have kept the U.S. dollar afloat for decades.

Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis
Telling voters that the spiralling inflation we are now experiencing, and the effect on living standards might sound like a politiian trying to be honest for once . Or might it be the case that Boris Johnson, never a man known for plain speaking, is preparing us to be told that Russia’s war against Ukraine, rather than the follies of 'net zero' policies and transitioning from fossil fuels to intermittent 'sustainable' energy sources are to blame for price rises that coming down the lione long before the first Russian boot stepped over ~Ukraine's border?

I have watched as ‘the science’ has been presented on the national stage flanked by Union Jack flags as an unassailable truth. For something so apparently inviolable, it seems to shift and change disconcertingly from week to week ...

Immunity, although it would be more honestly called temporary respite, from Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) injections is short term at best, and completely gone within months, this confirming the doubts raised by vaccine sceptics (or Conspiracy Theorists as mainstream media likes to call us Continue reading >>>

UK Energy Crisis Deepens as prices and demand skyrocket while supplies shrink to critical levels
It is ironic that in the week world leaders and flat faced Swedeish trolls are gathering in Glasgow for an orgy of virtue signalling that will inevitably drive millions of people in the developed world into fuel poverty and result in more industrial jobs being exported from the west to the world’s major produceres of Carbon Dioxide emissions, China and India, the energy crunch that is affecting the whole of Europe is about to hit the United Kingdom extremely hard. ...

Surge in Emergency Hospital Admissions from Vaccinated People Suffering Acute Organ FailureThe USA's taxpayer funded broadcaster National Public Radio (NPR) is claiming to be mystified by a siginficant increase in hospital emergency admissions across the United States but does not find the fact that these medical emergencies are all among people already vaccinated against COVID-19 and also all due to people experiencing symptoms consistent with the acknowledged side effects of the vaccines.

Analyst Reports ‘Hundreds of Thousands’ of COVID Vaccine Injury Reports Backlogged in VAERSThe latest episode of “Doctors and Scientists” on CHD.TV, features regular host Brian Hooker, Ph.D., P.E., interviewing Jessica Rose, Ph.D., a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) analyst and computational biologist who specializes in biomathematics and molecular research. OK, I know this publication does not have much time for mathematical modelling, but that is because so much of it is obviously rigged to support propaganda narratives. We will always give an honest scientist a fair hearing even if we do not agree with their contribution to debate.

Goodbye Freedom, Hello Global Governance.
If at any time during the chaos the past eighteen months you have wondered what kind of idiots are running the world and have gleefully trashed economies, disrupted social and commercial life and stripped citizens of their rights and liberties only to bring us, in late October 2021, right back to where we were in late February 2020 when the words pandemic and COVID crept into our consciousness ...Continue reading >>>

Prof. Pilmer Is Going To Piss Off Boris, Biden, Bill Gates, theflat faced Swedish mini9 troll and the rest of the green Nazis
Professor Ian Plimer blew the! whistle on the human driven climate change scam a while ago. Search the web and, of course, you will find plent of left wing websites including some 'fact checkrs' claiming his volcano theory has been debunked. The problem there is that the far left 'Church of Sciencology Cult' likes to rewrite the dictionary in order to make is attempt to discredit anyone who opposes its ideological approach to everything look credible. If you've read Plimer's book you will agree; this is a good summary.

Europe's Energy Crisis Exposes Green Fraud

In the meantime the European nations have failed to sufficiently diversify supply.

Anyone Who Fancies A Bet Will Be Put On A Register, Just Like Sex Offenders.

No End To The Insanity: Media Now Claims That "Double Jabbed" Brits Who Have Colds Are Suffering From COVID
You might think from the title the media are at last getting the idea that the COVID "clotshot" vaccines are not working if large numbers of double vaccinated people are becoming ill but such common sense went out of fashion years ago. What the propagandists are doing is trying to blame the unvaccinated (purebloods as we now call ourselves,) for infecting immunised people with a virus we don't have ...

Governments' obsession with climate pseudoscience over economically and social viable solutions is leading to disaster
The government's current obsession with pursuing the target of net zero carbon emissions in order to claim the UK leads the world in green wankery is more to do with virtue signalling that governing, but with the complicity of mainstream media, particularly The BBC, climate scaremongering is providing a convenient diversion from this governments abject failure to address and of the very real economic and social problems facing us.

Strictly Come And Be A Fascist Dancing Stooge
Boris Johnson's fascistic demand that contestants on Strictly Come Dancing be vaccinates in the interests of safety (as if the public can catch the virus from an unvaxxed celeb through a television screen,) shows just how far along the road to fascism this authoritarian government has taken the country and how much further they are prepared to go

First Responders: From Heroes To Zeroes
2 October: Those who just one year ago were celebrated are now being vilified. The architects of this drastic rebrand? The ruling elite. In New York, Gov.

Ivermectin? Neigh problem. US Food and Drung Agency Lists 'Horse Drug' As Approved COVID Treatment
After banning the use of anti - parasitic, anti - inflammatory drug Ivermecting for use in the economically developed nations because it was a "horse drug" the US Food and Drug administration has now approved another horse drug. The difference? Ivermectin is a more efficient and cheaper alternative to vacccines, dexamethasone is only effective against those seriously ill with COVID.

Anti-lockdown protests have become commonplace in Australia since the latest round of "snap" lockdowns began two months ago although you wouldn't think so if you rely on mainstream media for information about what's going on in this increasingly insane world. Newspapers and broadcast news channels have almost totally blanked stories reporting the pushback against the Australian government's increasingly authoritarian measures


he cultural elite says our new culture secretary is uncultured, yet I’d wager she’s the first best-selling author to hold the job, and the only one I know of to have eaten an ostrich anus on TV, which sounds positively French. The appointment of Nadine Dorries – an outspoken former nurse, businesswoman and star of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – is not a two fingers up to the culture industry but the direction of travel. That’s what so terrifies the gatekeepers.

How many more young lives will be sacrificed on Gates’s vaccine altar?
It’s remarkable that the man who has become the unelected global health czar and population control advocate is not being questioned on his past more closely. Though we are living through a crisis predicted by Gates and a response triggered and bankrolled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which are driving us towards a vaccination and biometric ID solution which Gates has been working on for years, he’s still regarded as a benign philanthropist.

10 September 2021: The Left is lying to itself, it needs limited migration as much as the Right does.

When Santiago Abascal, leader of Spanish right-wing party Vox, delivered a press conference on the 30th August, it did not take long for perhaps the most controversial part of his speech to be put into bite-sized form. Europe does not have moral duty to welcome or accept every Afghan or African who seeks to enter.

Why All The Fuss About Ivermectin?
First hydroxychloroquine, now ivermectin, is the hated deadly drug de jour, castigated by the medical establishment and regulatory authorities. Both drugs have been around for a long time as FDA-approved prescription medications. Yet now we are told they are as deadly as arsenic.

As a physician, I am certainly aware of ivermectin but don’t recall ever writing a prescription for it in my 30+ years’ medical career.

The Illusion Of Stability, The Inevitability Of Collapse

Imagine being at a party celebrating the vast wealth generated in the last ten months in stocks, cryptocurrencies, real estate and just about every other asset class. The lights flicker briefly but the host assures the crowd the generator powering the party is working perfectly. Being a skeptic, you slip out on the excuse of bringing in more champagne and pay a visit to the generator room. To your horror, you find the entire arrangement held together with duct tape

The Orwellian Vaccine Passport Agenda Relies On The Lie Of The "Social Contract"
There is a fundamental question that needs to be asked when examining the vaccine passport issue, and what I find is that almost no one in the mainstream is tackling it directly. The question is this: "Is it legally and morally acceptable to constrict the rights and economic access of people in order to force them to submit to an experimental “vaccine”, or any other medical procedure for that matter?"

E U Central Bank Digital Currency Is The Death Rattle Of A Failed Experiment

The announcement from the European Central Bank (ECB) that is is to intrduce an official European Union digital currency spells the end of the European Single Currency experiment and with it the ambition of "ever closer union until the EU's member states were merged into a single political entity Digital Currencies might not quite be Ponzi schemes but on appearances the difference can be compared to that between a horse and a pony.

Entire vaccine theory OBLITERATED as Biden promises you can’t catch Covid if you get the vaccinationIf the Covid vaccines really work, then everyone who gets them should not ever be worried about catching it from anyone who doesn’t get the jab. The installed fake president Joe Biden said, “You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.” So if vaccines protect you 100 percent, why does it matter if others around you aren’t vaccinated? The claim that unvaccinated people are somehow a risk to the vaccinated just got obliterated.

Blood doctor releases findings showing Moderna’s mRNA Covid vaccines change red blood cells
27 July: it’s time to become your own “medical investigator,” because these vaccine manufacturers and regulatory agencies do not have our best interest in mind. Would you like to know exactly what the mRNA vaccines do to your blood that’s far more dangerous than the Covid-19 virus or any of its variants? You don’t have to be a mechanic to learn and understand how dirty oil can ruin a motor, and you don’t have to be a doctor or scientist to understand how mRNA Covid vaccines are changing red blood cells to make them stick together.

Scientists want to insert ‘their mark’, be called ‘your creator’ and ‘own you’
We’ve said it before and we’ll no doubt say it again, scientists are dangerous.

First They Came For The Unvaccinated And I Did Not Speak Out

So Much For "Freedom Day": UK Health Authorities Bar Unvaccinated Patrons From Nightclubs Thousands of young Britons celebrated "Freedom Day" by piling into nightclubs that had been closed for nearly a year-and-a-half, indulging in the kind of nightlife activities they once took for granted. Unfortunately for those who haven't been "fully vaccinated", the UK's vaccine's minister Nadhim Zahawi said Monday that a negative coronavirus test will "no longer be sufficient" proof that a person is COVID safe.

Zahawi said a negative coronavirus test would soon "no longer be sufficient" proof that a person was COVID-safe, and instead they urged nightclubs and other businesses to use the NHS COVID pass, which contains their vaccination status. Public health authorities will be monitoring to see how many businesses voluntarily follow this 'recommendation'. Over the next few weeks, "we will be keeping a close watch on how it is used by venues and reserve the right to mandate if necessary."

But pretty soon, providing proof of vaccination status might be a requirement in the UK,

The EU is its own worst enemy

2 July 2021: If the European Union wants to achieve its goal of 'ever closer Union', along with continued border expansion, then it's time Brussels re-evaluated its strategy. The behaviour and approach in recent years has done nothing but tarnish the EU's reputation and make it perfectly clear to all neighbouring countries this is not a community you want to be part of if you do not want to be tied to Brussels for decades to come, argues Jayne Adye, Director of Get Britain Out.
