Liar! Liar! The sequel starring ........... George Osbourne

Thanks to the beauty of the internet and the excellent filing skills of Rosy Williams, a letter has emerged written by George Osbourne, when he was just a lowly opposition MP in 2003. This letter criticises the incumbent Labour (Tony Blair's) government and their implementation of the university tuition fees whilst declaring that when the Conservatives get back into power (which they did in coalition with the Liberal Democrats in 2010) they would scrap the tuition fee totally. He even states that the fees are a "tax on learning". However, in 2010 one of the very first things the coalition government did was raise the tuition fee from £3,000 a year to £9,000 a year. Now let's give our esteemed Chancellor the benefit of the doubt shall we? Let's say his hands were tied because they were part of a coalition government. So of course when the Conservative party were able to form a majority government the first thing Mr Osbourne did was scrap the tuition fee right? Nope! Of course not that would mean he was a man of his word, a trustworthy politician who takes into account the will of the people he represents!!! Et voila!!! Another politician who doesn't give a hoot about his constituents or the future of his country, another elitist that seeks to deny those with an ability to pursue a university education the chance to because they cannot afford the fees involved. Shame on you Mr Osbourne! Shame. On. You.

Demographic suicide of Europe - Can it be reversed?

There is no doubt, to any rational, critical thinking person in the Western world, that Europe is going through as big a crisis as those of WW1 and WW2. Unfortunately, the crisis we currently find ourselves in has been created or at least abetted by our own political leaders. There has been much talk of the Frankfurt School and the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan, cultural marxism and the creep of Islamism within the West and Europe specifically. We are told that we need to import immigrants from the third world countries in order to fill the demographic hole created by Europeans not breeding sufficiently. The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan openly advocates the destruction of the European race, or at the very least its dilution. So for decades, various countries have made it fiscally less and less desirable to procreate. The married person's tax allowance was removed from UK citizens way back in the nineties, child benefit, in countries where it is paid, has...

Lord Taverne slams the will of the people.

Last night (13 March 2017) the House of Commons voted on the Bill to trigger Article 50 of the Lis bon Trea ty . This Bill allows the government of the UK to set in motion the process of separation from the European Union, nine months after the people of the UK voted, via a referendum, to leave. Despite the best efforts of Gina Miller (a Soros stooge) and a cabal of self-interested parties to block the UK government from trying to exit without parliamentary approval; a move that was upheld by several self-interested High Court and Supreme Court Judges were proven fruitless. In compliance with the court directive, the UK government tabled a Bill laying out the specifics of exiting the EU. Passed by the House of Commons, it went up to the House of Lords, who rejected the Bill and returned it to the elected House with amendments. The amendments were overturned by the elected House of Commons and it has since passed in the House of...

Pot and Kettle!!!

It never fails to amaze me that some people in positions of power have the nerve to judge countries when their own home nation is not known for banging the same drum..... The UN Human Rights Chief, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein from Saudi Arabia, has drawn the world's attention to the horrendous behaviour of the Turkish Authorities. He, quite correctly, has stated that the shooting at unarmed people protesting in Cizre, Turkey, was against their fundamental rights. This throws up two issues for me; Saudi Arabia has an appalling human rights record and the fact that a Saudi citizen is the head of the UN Human Rights is laughable. Does he criticise Saudi Arabia or are they off limits? Everyone has known about the flexible way that Turkey deals with the issue of human rights, but they have been assured that the EU will look again at their application to join....surely this should be the nail in the coffin of their ambition to join? ...
