Military Veterans Opinion: Probably A Bomb That Took Down MH-17!
Funny how the left present themselves as the politics of peace and unity but are all out in support of Barack Obama's latest warmongering campaign in Ukraine following the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. I suppose the pacifists enthusiasm for World War Three proves George Orwell was right when he said War is Peace. The Authoritarian Left And The Threat To Personal Liberty
Ian reflects on his political position, has he realy moved from near anarchist left to reactionary right on the political spectrum, or have authoritarians hijacked the language of liberal and libertarian philosophy and perverted it to serve a neo fascist, big government agenda?

Will Anti European Union Feeling Lead To More Integration
Many people who are part of the media luvvieocracy seem to think the anti EU surge revealed in elections to the European Parliament earlier this week will lead to an intensification of the EU ruling bureaucray push for the integration of the 28 European Union member states into a single federal superstate. A more realistic view is that many who voted for the stus quo were not so much supportive of the pan - European project as fearful of what will happen when the EU falls apart

How Can Mainstream Politics Respond To The Anti EU Surge Across Europe? As the hysteria intensifies following the enormoust anti EU swing in elections for the European Parliament, we look at what options are available to the mostly pro EU, pro federalisation leaders of the main European Union nations, that will not result in the citizens if Europe becoming further alienated from the political and technocratic classes.

Privatization of Water as an Owned Commodity Rather Than a Universal Human Right

Why Do Those On The Political Left Assume They Have A Monopoly On Goodness And Truth
Political philosophy: As politics and society become more binary and polarise so that according to a self sppoined elite there are only two possible points of view on any issue, public debate is stifled and the polarised left and right end up attacking the other's right to free speech. It has nothing to do with liberal democracy

Voter Backlash against Media UKIP Smears Is Good For Democracy
Pontificating celebrities and media luvvies, don't you hate them. What gives these mostly has been the idea that their opinion is worth more than the opinion of everyman and woman.

Even if you were still funny guys, nobody gives a fuck what you think about politics.

Should Western Leaders Be Forming Alliances With Barbarians Who Behead A Prisoner With A Pocket Knife?
We need to be asking our western leaders, Barack Hussein Obama, David Cameron and Francoise Hollande WTF they think they are doing sending sophisticated weapons to a bunch of primitive bastards in Syria who behead prisoners with a pocket knife. Or perhaps who they are working for, because they are as sure as shit stinks not working for the people who elected them.

Hypocrites, War Criminals, Fawning Sycophants? Shock, Horror Politician Speaks The Truth
Irish MP Clare Daly is my new hero. Don't get the wrong idea, Ms. Daly is not a looker, in fact given the right make up she could play Mrs. Doyle in Father Ted.

Obama Administration Frames Assad As Excuse For Sending US Arms To Al Qaeda Rebels
When Obama started feeding the bloodlust of Syria's rebels with U S Armaments shipped via Turkey he must have thought the overthrow of Assad, demanded by his Islamic paymasters, a foregone conclusion.

The World has Really Been Turned Upside down When We Look To Russia To Defend Our Rights

Globalisation, Misinformation, Deception, False Store Fronts ...
Enniskillen (pop 14,000) will shortly host a meeting of the G8 global economic forum. Now G8 has declined in importance since the formation of the G20 group so you might think its precipitous fall down the league table of political influence is why they have ended up in little, out of the way Enniskillen.Or cynics amongst us (me for example) might thing the great and good have chosen ...

Has The Global Food Supply Fallen Under The Control Of The Big Food Cartel?
Food prices have rocketed over the past two decades, to the extent that even in nations like Britain and the USA poor people are having to rely on free food banks to stay properly nourished. How did the global food supply chain get in such a state. Well our dear chums The New World Oder are at the bottom of it. And then there are all the usual suspects, greedy banks and corporations, incompetent oliticians, corrupt public servants and the Marxist idiots on the left who obstruct the doing of what needs to be done.

Faceless Corporations That Drive The Global Economy

The Total Surveillance Society
Surveillance cameras, CCTV,electronic monitoring, data gathering from credit card use and other transactions, all are commonplace.

Improvement In Empoloyment Figures Is Another Statistical Deception
Politicians, economists and others with an interest in talking up the economy to get us all spending and taking on debt and mortgage loans again may rave about recovery.

Has Everybody Forgotten Obama's War
The American military machine has just chalked up the grim statistic of its 2,000th fatality since America troops first surged into Afganistan to defeat "insurgents" whose families had lived in that country for many generations.

The International Elite's Contempt For National Sovereignty
The UK government's recent threat to storm the Ecuadorian embassy in London and arrest Julian Assange, displays the same degree of contempt for national sovereignty that Western nations have shown repeatedly since the end of the Cold War.

The Extended Europe: A European Union - with Africa and Arabia in itHow far do you think Europe Stretches? From the British Isles to the Bosphorus? From Knivskjelodden (Norway) to Cadiz? Not according to the Globalist Nazis who run the EU. Under the cover of the Euro zone debt crisis they are advancing their plan to extend Europe beyond its geographical and cuiltural boundaries to take in Turkey and the Caucasus, Middle Eastern nations, and the nations of North Africa from Egypt to Morocco as one nation under a single government. Do you still think the E U is a god idea? ...
The Politicisation Of Giving - How The Government Turned Charities Into QUANGOWe report on how the government has politicised the charity sector by making charities reliant on government grants for funding.

Obama Knifes britain In The Back Again
In his talks with President Barack Hussein Obama in March, David Cameron said he had gained assurances from the White House that Washington would stop pushing for negotiations between London and Buenos Aires about sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

Obama - When They said it didn't matterThe Daily Stirrer was asked to post this although we are not a U.S. blog. We are happy to oblige because we have always felt there are too many unanswered questions about Barack Hussein Obama, too many answers that have been given but shouted down by those who insist to question him is racist and too many instances in which he has shown where his true sympathies lie (and it is not with America or it's natural allies)

UN Panel Says Redesign The World Economy For Sustainability

Politicians can phrase their press communiques in fine words and soaring rhetoric but in the end they cannot disguise the fact that their latest initiatives on saving civilizartion are just another thinly disguised move towards global government, a global economy and culture the suppression of the individual and a New World Order.

What a mess the modern way of doing politics based on a politically correct consensus and social engineering has produced.

Is War Inevitable? Unfortunately Yes
Hippy thinkers often pose questions like this and then accuse realists of relishing war and slaughteing r. But it is the hippy attitude, "Let's all join hands and sing Kumbaya," that is more likely to lead to war as the signal it sends to enemies is a sign of weakness.

Climate Change and the Population Explosion
In all the debates about climate change and the effect of carbon dioxide emissions on the environment there is one issue that has a huge bearing on humanity's relationship with our planet that neither politicians nor scientists will discuss.

Smoke and Mirrors Blur Inflation Statistics Leading economist Simon Ward has accused The Bank of England of using "smoke and mirrors" to present official forecasts for inflation. With the annual rate of price rises currently double the official target at 4pc and showing signs it will keep rising, the Bank's central projection that the rate should return to 2pc next year is looking like pure fantasy.

The Human Cost Of Our Cheap Fashions
In the west we have lived the good life for many years, taking for granted the cheap clothes and low cost consumer goods we inmport from the poor nations of the third world. There is a hidden human cost of our comforable lifestyles however. Third World workers, clothing workers in particular, are employed under conditions that amount to slavery in everytthing but name. Even so the hand wringing, tree hiuggers of the progressive left are happy to enjoy what's provided by the hardship of those wage-slave workers while lecturing less idealistic people about the evils of Europe's slave trade which ended 200 years ago.

The Great Wind Turbine Scam
Because of failure to invest in new coal and nuclear powered generating plants to provide the electric energy we need Briain now faces a serious shortfall in electricity supply as old stations, already well past their planned lifespan are forced to close. Seduced by the voices of academics and the science lobby, the government seems foolishly determined to rely on wind turbines for future electricity needs. Big Inflation Rise Precedes Budget
True awareness of how bad inflation has become was always going to be the February figure. In January, the effect of the VAT hike would have been obfuscated by the post Christmas sales. Taking that into account however the latest data, with consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation at 4.4pc and Retail Price Index (RPI) which is more reflective of the week by week cost of living, at 5.5pc, is far worse than anticipated ...

We Just Got Fooled Again
Climate Change and causes relating to saving the planet are becoming an industry, a gravy train. International bureaucrats fly around the world from meeeting to meeting (and they're all in exotic location) to take party in another feat of windbaggery that will solvle neith global warming, food or water shortage, wildlife species extinction or the growing population.

Petrol Hits £6 a Gallon At The Pump by Profanicus Maximus

The price of petrol at the pump has hit £6 a gallon for the first time, as unrest in North Africa and the Middle East sends up the price of driving in Britain.
Ed Miliband, The Coalition and The Thought Police
How queer it sounds to hear Ed Miliband, the new leader on The Labour Party talking of protecting the freedom and civil rights of people in the era of austerity that will be the results of the Coalition government's budget cuts. Not only does he forget (or deliberately overlook) the fact that it was Labour's financial incompetence that necessitated austerity but he daintily tiptoes around the fact that he was part of the New Labour government that crated a bureaucratic thought police regime to make war on our freedoms.

Labour: Wrong On Crime Wrong On The Causes Of Crime
Tony Blair's mantra “tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime” cemented itself in the public consciousness very deeply more because of the Labour governments obsession with criminals rights that because of anything they did towards actually tackling crime and its causes.

Supermarket Rip Off Causes Food Price Inflation
Supermarkets are ripping off British shoppers by ramping up food prices ahead of inflation, the investment bank UBS has warned in a new report. It is not long of course since the leading supermarkets faced a government inquiry into allegations that they were operating a cartel.

Will America Cope With The Fall Of It's Middle East Empire
by Ian R Thorpe.

America has suffered a second traumatic blow to its global political hegemony as the regimes it has propped up for decades in the middle east crumble. Mubarak in Egypt and Gadaffi in Libya were unsavoury tyrants to be sure but they were pro America and willing to collaborate with the west. Now on the heels of the financial meltdown we face a global oil crisis.

Financial Madness

NHS Job Losses Predictably the left are screaming about the claimed 50,000 jobs that will have have to be axed by NHS trusts across the nation to meed government budget reduction targets. What NHS managers are doing however is following in the footsteps of Labour controlled councils and rather than losing the candy - floss jobs created by empire building bureaucrats are slashing front line services to punish users of the service for ...
Interest Rates Must Start To Rise Very Soon

If The EU Has It's Way We Will All Be Prisoners Of Bureaucracy
The British Parliament makes its decision by the votes of its members who are in turn elected by the votes of a majority of their constituents. Without the power to enact laws that shape the lives of British people and the direction of our nation Parliament is nothing. So when Parliament votes on a proposal and that vote make the new measure law or consigns it to oblivion in a dusty filing cabinet somewhere that is the resolution of the matter. That is what we mean by The Sovereignty of Parliament. Its decisions are ...

Inflation Tax
Inflation is the cruellest tax, it hits the cautious, prudent and hard working, rewards the feckless, reckless and downright foolish. We have a bout of inflation under way, engineered by governments to reduce their unsdustainable levels of debt incurred in the business of buying otes to stay in power. What will be its effect on ordinary people?

Gambling In The Euro Casino At Vegas on the Med
The Daily Stirer has warned of the collapse of the Eurozone and the death of the single currency before. It was not a hard call to make, tying traditionally weak economies to a strong one like Germany's and thus blocking off the traditional route to eliminating debt in the weak nations, devaluation and inflation, was bound to wreak havoc with the economic basket cases of Southern Europe. The single currency has only survived so long because Germany has been willing to prop it up.

Warmageddon: To Feed The Planet We Need More Carbon Dioxide by Ian R Thorpe.

For his first-ever speech as Britain’s new Minister of Trade & Industry last week, Lord Green faced a formidable audience of 400 Chinese and British business delegates. The former chairman of HSBC declared that China’s economic growth figures over the past five years represented an “extraordinary historic event”. Green didn’t need to go over Britain’s experience during the same period for most to agree that ...

Obama Deficit Reduction by John De Roe.
We hear that America's AAA credit rating is likely to be downgraded because the Obama administration has embarked on a courseof increasing its public sector deficit and national debt rather than taking steps to reduce its debt burden. Bit at least some member of the Obama administration seem to have got the message that debt reduction is more important than Obie's beloved vanity projects.

The Real Danger To America Is Barack Obama
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president."

Obama A Bigger Danger To US Security Than Wikileaks Says Robert Gates (The Guardian)
WikiLeaks has yet again flooded the internet with thousands of classified American documents, this time state department cables. More troubling than WikiLeaks' latest revelation of US secrets, however, is the Obama administration's weak, wrong-headed and erratic response. Unfortunately, the adminis>tration has acted consistently with its demonstrated unwillingness to assert and defend ...

Equalities Bill Discriminates Against Everybody Equally
The Equalities Bill, passed by the previous Labour government before they were ejected from power becomes law today. This farrago is typical of the imbecilic mindset of the self righteous hypocrites who style themselves the progressive left. Presented as a law in support of equality in the workplace , in this era of pandemic joblessness and perpetual financial crisis it is nothing but an attack on the businesses that provide the real, wealth producing, revenue generating jobs in the private sector.
Obama Wants War On Poverty
Barack Obama unveiled a new "big hearted" but "hard headed" US aid policy to push the poorest countries toward prosperity. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon launched a 40 billion dollar drive to save the lives of millions of women and children. Britain, China and Japan also promised more help. But many leaders still accused wealthy nations of failing to keep their promises to ...

Blair's Journey by Ian R Thorpe.
Tony Blair's memoir of his political career, The Journey, is a must read for fans of another politician whose ambition and lust for power far outstrips his ability and experience. Solipsistic and self regarding, Tony Blair takes us through how he saved the Labour party and led it to power, how he charmed the traditionally conservative middle classes, how he spoke to the traditional Labour voters and earned their loyalty and support for his Thatcherite policies and how he saved British businness from economic catastrophe. Strangely he does not mention how he untimately betrayed all those groups.

The Real Danger To America?">The Real Danger To AmericaI love this quote from a Czech Repuplic newspaper:
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president."

Property Prices To Fall Again?Despite government eforts to talk up a recovery the economy remains stubbornly stagnant. It is unsurprising really, the UK economy still relies far too much on the housing and property market and with incomes being squeezed and house prices remaining so high they are beyond the reach of first time buyers there is little change of increased activity while unemployment continues to rise.

Labour's Loony Spending Scheme Cripples NHS
The nation was given a laugh when David Laws, treaury minister for the incoming conservative / lib dem coalition government revealed his Labour predecessor had left a note saying There is no money. it does not seem so funny now as the true extent of Labours financial profligacy is being discovered. The private finance contracts some NHS Health Trusts were tied into are crippling local hospital trusts financially.

Obama Diplomatic Goof Over LockerbieThe Obama Adminisdtration showed gobsmacking arrogance in summoning Scottish and British justice miniters to give evidence before a Senate committee into the release on humanitarian grounds of Abdelbaset al - Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber. It demonstrates nothing has changed since the Bush administration were in power.

Obama And The Lockerbie Bomber
The Daily Stirrer has commented many times on the racist nature of the Obama administration and the detestation of "white" people in general and the British in particular that President Barack Hussein Obama can barely be bothered to conceal. No matter we say, Britain benefits little from the so called "special relationship", the myth of which has been perpetuated by...

Did BP Lobby For Lockerbie Bomber's Release
The latest measure of politically correct socialist insanity from the "progressive left" othertwise known as the populist authoritarian Labour party has come via the accusation that oil giant BP lobbied Gordon Brown's government for the release of the Lockerbie Bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. We hope this is a total fabrication because BP, already in trouble for the Deepwater Horizon oil rig's exploding and millions of gallons of crude oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico from the uncapped well, may not be able to withstand a new crisis while Barack Obama is clutching at straws in his efforts to save his failed Presenency.

Sleeping With Conservatives
Could You Hug A Tory asks a feature in The Guardian some time ago. Several typical Guardian writers describe their feelings of fear and loathing when, purely in the interests of science of course, they hugged prominent members of the Conservative Party. Me?

The Arrogance Of Ecomonists And The Stupidity Of Politicians
by Ian R Thorpe

Don't you just love the arrogance of economists and their detatchment from anything remotely resembling reality. They're all scum sucking crackfarts, they really are. Little Nicky Machiavelli has said this many times and here's a mainstream journalist taking up the theme in response to an economics academic who says that anyone who does not have a PhD in economics should not be allowed to express an opinion on the subject as only...

Defending Keynes
The name of a great Englishman, John Maynard Keyes, is being trashed by that jug eared steak of piss and racist hater of all things British Barack Obama in attempts to give the failing Obama administration's loonytoons economics a veneer of sanity. Keynes recommended governments should use publc spending to sustain their economy during periods of recession. He did not say, as Obama's supporters claim he did, that nations already way past the point of bankruptcy should continue with reckless poublic spending projects.

The Politics Of Fear And Panic
Fear and panic certainly seem to be gaining ground as the weapon with which the political and business elite intend to control us and force us to comply with their fiendish schemes.
The Necessity Of Curbing State Spending
The left, already laughable styling themselves "the opposition" even as Labour splits into tiny factions including the "old left" the traditional party of the working class, the people with traditional Labour values who recognise there are no magical solution, the "progressive left", the kind of people my colleague Ian Thorpe refers to as The Politically Correct Thought Police, who are currently working themselves into a frenzy about

Oh Brave New World
In common with Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four, forever imprinted on the minds of my generation because of the cover image of a military boot grinding on a human face, Brave New World was a book that changed the way we viewed the world we lived in. In many ways it inspired aspects of the social revolution of the 1960s as people shrugged off the social controls that had imposed such restrictive conventions on western society.

Obama Deepwater Horizon
President Obama described the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico as America's worst environmental disaster ever.

Cameron To Seduce Clegg With Proportional Representation.
Electoral Reform and the introduction of a voting system in which every vote counts has long been the goal of the Liberal and later the Liberal Democrat parties. Although most people have believed a Lib Dem alliance that could deliver electoral reform could only be made with Labour.

Populist Authoritarianism
The Labour Party may talk of socialism but their Nanny State tyle of ovErbearing governmental control freakery rather than protecting the weak according to the political philosophy of John Locke seeks to suppress individualism and impose uniformity by spreading fear and panic. This approach achieves equality by making all weak and dependent. Unfortunately it debilitates the nation.

The Gordon Truman Show Humour, satire
Power may well corrupt but it certainly removes those who hold it from reality. So as Gordon Brown squats in Downing Street hoping that a bizarre sequence of events following the indecisive election will lead to him staying on as Prime Minister in a hung parliament one cannot help but think The Gordon Show is turning into a Truman Show type movie fantasy.

Lord Of The Blair Rings, (Emily, Tony and Precious) Humour, satire
Power corrupts maybe but it certainly removes those who hold it from reality. Tony Blair sits and schemes through his last days in office, hoping to find a way to hold on to his precious, the ring of office held by every Prime Minister or First Lord Of The Treasury to give the office its proper title. One cannot help but think power has warped Blair's mind so much he thinks he is the living embodiment of a character in a fantasy fiction.

Epitaph For New Labour.
Several hours before polls close on general election day Ian R Thorpe pre-empts the result by publishing an epitaph for the wretched "New Labour" project which led the once great Labour Party to aandon any pretence of standing for anything except the interests of its leaders and paymaster and the gaining and keeping of power at any price. So arrogant has Labour become, so contemptuous of their working class core vote, the people who put the labour into Labour Party, that they are now he party of wealth and privilege, to the autoritarian right of the Conservatives while the Liberal Democrats are the truly progressive force on the left.

How To Be A Bigot
Gordon Brown's dismissal or a voters concerns about immigration, jobs, crime and government debt as bigoted took the election campaign into a new zone. Now the labour, conservative and liberal democrat leaders can really go for each others throats. Bring it on Clegg To Make Cancer A Crime
The 2010 UK General Election looks like being a neck and neck affair and as they line up for the final eclection debate party leaders are getting more desperate to pain themselves as men of the people Has Libersal Democrat Nick Clegg gone a bit too far however in promising his party would make lfe fair during a visit to a children's hospital's cancer unit?

Immigration - The Elephant In The Election Room.
Throughout the election campaign the three main parties, Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat have shied away from the immigration issue. How can these charlatans put themselves forward as serious politicians prepared to implement the political solutions needed to deal with Britains problems when they dare not comment on the issue of greatest concern to most voters for fear of upsetting the numerically small but unrepresentatively vocal politically correct "progressive left."

Change Can Be Unfair To Everybody
It cannot only be me and my colleagues here at The Daily Stirrer who are fed up of hearing about change and fairness in this election. Campaigning has been more Presidential in style than ever before with attention focused on the party leaders and in particular on the televised debates. This is bad for democracy of course because The British Constitution (and we do have on American visitors though it is not contained in single document) requires that we elect Members of Parliament per Constituency to represent all the people of the constituency and not that we vote according to which of the party leaders is the prettiest, has the most vacuous catchphrases or parades the prettiest wife on his...

Hate Crime Law - Another Step Towards Fascism?
Those in politics who like to call themselves the progrssive left or progressive liberals love to talk about fairness and equality.

Is Iran Becoming A Military Dictatorship? If there is one thing we love doing at the Daily Srirrer it is to predict the news months ahead of when it happens. As U.S. Secretary of Stare Hillary Clinton warns that Iran is on the way to becoming an Islamic Military Dictatorhip we can again say 'told you so,' because we predicted last summer this would be the outcome of Barack Obama's meddling in Iran's domestic affairs.

What Lord Freud was really praising the government for was letting bosses screw their workers by turning a full time job into a part time job. Not the sort of jobs policy you expect from Labour but we're always said they are more Tory than the Tories.

Authoritarian Box Ticking Culture.
by Ian R. Thorpe
Among the things that have alienated people from the Labour party apart from generakl incompetence, is their arrogant and patronising conviction the public are resady to believe anything the government tells them so long as it is dressed up in statistics and delivered by some fresh faced, smooth talking Labour spinmeister. It is very like the authoritarian regime of Orwell's 1984

Change You Can't Believe In
by James Dahlberg
For his first contribution to The Daily Stirrer James looks at how the popularity of Barack Obama, the Yes We Can" man has collapsed from the record levels seen right after his inauguration as President to the latest polls that make him the most unpopular president ever after a year in office. The economy, unemployment, the disatrous health reform bill and weakness on foreign polcy have played a big part but how much is due to the failings of man himself.



Poverty: Labour Succeeds Where Thatcher Failed.
At last, a success New Labour can claim as their own. Under the party's rule over the past twelve years the gap between rich and poor in Britain has gone bak to the level of 50 years ago. We get a view from the MP for Rawtenborough since 1832 Hector Gobbett - Broadsides on what this means for unemployment, the revovery and the election prospects of conservative and labour...

Keep Health Out Of Politics

Have those government sponsored health scares about fats, alocohol, chocolate and ciggies ever got up your nose? No? They would if you knew the special advisors dreamed them up over brandy and cigars after a jolly good lunch.



The Truth About The Economy, Crime And Everything Else.
by Ian R Thorpe
2010-01-26
The Labour government has been telling lies again, about unemployment, the economy, education, and crimes. And they are really really angry that us ungrateful oiks refuse the believe the official statistics that prove what a good job the government is doing.

Quis Custodiat Custodes (Who watches the watchers)
Living in the surveillsance society. Governments keep announcing plans to increase the surveillance ability of security forces, the latest outrage being the proposal that military drones of the kind used to kill civilians in Afghnistan and Pakistan be deployed to overfly British cities taking high definition photos of everyday life.

Millions of Americans Are Giving Up Looking For Work (and things are just as bad in Britain)
News that many unemployed Americans are simply giving up looking for job openings and resigning themselves to long term unemployment should come as no surprise in Britain where the number of real jobs in the economy has been blatantly massaged by creation of public sector vacancies, closure of many careers to people without Uiversity degrees and the policy of pushing people into higher education.

Privatise The Profit - Nationalise The Losses.
Governments and politicians of all shades like to talk of gbeing fair, equal opportunities for all, an aspirational society with upward social mobility. How does that equate though to the fact that for many years taxpayers will be paying interest on money borrowed from China and India in order to bail out our failed banks and financial insitutions. Being unfair to the rest of us so they can be fair to the bankers who got right by stealing from ordinary people does not equate to equal opportunity in our view

The Jobless Economy Politicians, economists and others with an interest in talking up the economy to get us all spending and taking on debt and mortgage loans again may rave about recovery. With our industrial base so depleted where will the jobs come from that we need to lead a recovery?" They may call it fiscal prudence, we call it loonytoons economics...

Politicians Just Don't Get It About Change
Why do politicians keep banging on about change when it is clear people do not want change. Talk of change will not win the election for Labour or Conservative, the electorate are sick of change, they want security.

Climate Change: Little White Lies and Big Brown Lies
The Copenhagen summit conference on climate change was never about climate change. It was about money, power, control and the need to divert attention from the failure of globalization by the spreading of fear and panic. The idea was to make us feel dependent on our leaders. Pity the science used to back up the case for action was so easily exposed as fraudulent. Read more...

Just Who Is Undermining Obama's Credibility?
"The 'Birther' movement in the USA questions the elegibility of Barack Obama to serve as President because his father being non - American means he is excluded from the Presidency under the US Contitution. The official response to the 'birthers' is to ridicule them as conspiracy theorists but if that was the case the expensive legal actions to prevent lawsuits challenging Obama from comng to court are, are they not, an over - reaction.

Fear And Panic And HP Sauce
Those who live by fear and panic die by fear and panic. The government's attempts to bully us all into giving up our civil liberties so we may be safe from terrorism has failed. Only the security forces are afraid of their own shadows, the rest of us stoically get on with our lives.

Beards Of Terror 1
Throughout the War On Terror which started after the 9/11 attacks on The World Trade Centre on thing we have noticed but the authorities never refer to is the role of beards in the terrorist effort to disrupt national life by spreading fear and panic

Things Just Keep Getting Better!
by fatsally

The other day Boggartblog brought you the news that we're just not drinking enough, tipping the unfinished bottle down the sink wastes an incredible amount of the old Mucho Collapso and so we should all ensure that we drink every last drop, a practice Boggartblog has advocated for years. But things just keep getting better...

Why is it OK for 'scientists' to spend billions of $ looking for aliens but when ordinary folks do it much more cheaply and with greater success they are dismissed as nutters. This story throws some light on the situation.

Swine Flu - If You Need A Crisis Just Invent One
The Daily Stirrer has always been sceptical about the Swine Flu epidemic. It first hit the news just before the G20 economic summit meeting of world leaders earlier in the year. The summit was ostensibly convened to hack out a solution to the global financial crisis but was in reality a front for the first step towards creating a world government. One of the delegates even went so far as to hint at this in a television interview. Asked if the task the summit had set delegates for the future was to create a global economy this man said, "Our task is to create a global culture."
