Has Nick Clegg Lost The Plot?



The country is in the grips of a double dip recession, which "friends of the Tory party" ensure us is just  "technical". (One wonders if they would be saying this if we still had a Labour government?)  The UK's economy is on its knees.

The Tories aided and abetted by the Liberal Democrats have forced the biggest reform of the NHS though against the majority will of the people, which will lead to NHS privatisation and hospitals for the poor which will only offer the most basic of treatments. NHS waiting times will increase (already started). Many patients with more than one need like the disabled, elderly or chronically sick, will find themselves without a GP. People will be forced to buy expensive health care and even if they can afford that, it will not cover them for everything.

Michael Gove the Education Secretary is intent on taking this country's education back to the two tier system of the 1950's - 60s and 70's, where able children were denied taking 'O'-levels, instead forced to take CSEs and job adverts always advertised for applicants educated to 'O'level standard, hardly ever CSE.  This is quite apart from the fact that Gove has allowed "free" schools to take the place of fee paying schools with the taxpayer picking up the tab for well off parents to educate their children privately.

It appears not to matter that the health secretary, Andrew Lansley is allowing vendors with their junk food machines to enter schools


Unemployment is bumping along the bottom showing absolutely no signs of picking up, there was a miserly fall of 51,000 last week mainly entirely due to the fact that people are being forced to work part time jobs because there are no full time positions. The private sector is only making part time jobs and it is these statistics the government is using to try and tell us all the private sector is making jobs faster than the government is shedding full time jobs. In truth *BOTH* the private and the public sector (and all taxpayers) are being forced to bankroll the payrolls of multinational corporations like McDonalds, Tesco's etc., many of whom donate privately to the Conservative party, in return for getting free labour or cheap labour from the government.

The claimant count for benefits (including unemployment benefit) has risen sharply. (How then in real terms can true unemployment be falling?)

The welfare reforms are rendering disabled people terrified in their own homes in fear of what this government that Nick Clegg is part of, will do to them next by taking their livelihoods, their cars and their wheelchairs away and forcing them to work for nothing in fear of losing their benefits, this alarmingly also applies to those people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness considered to have longer than 6 months to live.

This government that Nick Clegg and his band of idiot Tory brown noser MPs  belong to and back on a daily basis and who are treating the electorate with utter contempt and in an alarming ever growing number of cases ( see Jubilee slaves)  are treating people like some kind of "indentured bondservants", being hawked to Tory supporting corporations in return for votes, support and Tory party donations.

Virtually every single policy this government try to bring out lands up in a crumpled heap having crashed head on into the first available brick wall.

The government's budgets are a complete joke a panel of 4th formers could probably do better.

The Conservative government is beset with allegations of corruption eg: Peter Cruddas and "£250,000 cash for access to Cameron" and "cash for access to policy  making".  Cash for access to lunches with Cameron charged at up £100,000 which were being held in the Commons until the Parliamentary standards Commissioner ordered the Tories to stop and all the rest of it (see the remainder of this site, plenty of details included)

Cameron the British prime Minister has taken to making personal attacks on people over tax payments (or lack of them), while completely omitting to mention that his own family, friends and Tory donors all partake in a little tax avoidance. He attacks Jimmy Carr, while leaving his old mate and Tory supporter Gary Barlow out of it, yet Barlow has been doing much the same. Cameron did not personally attack Barlow, instead he gave him an OBE.

In just two years this government appear to be not only the most corrupt, but the most sleaziest in living memory of this country and David Cameron has proved himself to be the most incompetent lying PM ever.

The entire government is a farcical joke made up of the most deceitful egregious lying hypocritical Gobs on sticks.
All of this (and so, so, so much more) and what is bothering Nick Clegg the most? House of Lords Reform! You can't make it up really can you?

It is estimated that the cost of House of Lords reforms will be around £500 million, add to this the £100 million that nick Clegg has already spent on his AV referendum . £600 million could help the victims of domestic violence who are losing centres directly because of government cuts, or it could keep many Sure Start centres affected by government cuts open too. I have to ask, just how many more of Nick Clegg's vanity projects can this country afford?


I don't think that Nick Clegg is losing the plot, I think he has already lost it  - Long Ago! (Probably at the meeting well BEFORE the May 2010 election), when he pledged the support of the Liberal Democrat party to this bunch of right win lying fascist Tories, that we now have for a government.


Democracy? What Democracy?

"Carrgate" & Cameron - Is This The Way A British Prime Minister Should Behave?

"Oops I Did It Again!"


I'm not going to have a pop at Jimmy Carr, I am going to thank him, yes thank him, for doing what the Tory supporting press should have done 2 years ago *Exposing* the hypocritical, duplicitous lying slug we have for a prime minister, leading the most morally corrupt government I have ever known and that is including Thatcher's morally bereft ethics, so that is really going some!


How come it is OK for David Cameron, the British Prime Minister to personally attack and single out one person in the press and try to turn the whole of the UK media upon this one single person, for doing nothing more or nothing less than probably his entire cabinet are doing? Not forgetting the "friends of the Tory party" and the big Tory donors, the hedge funds, the City financiers, the venture capitalists, the bankers, the health care companies, Tory supporting celebrities like Barlow from Take That etc? (And all the undisclosed names yet to be revealed) What about the lobbyists too? All of these do exactly the same as Carr has done, yet Cameron, in a bid to take the attention away from his latest faux pas, thought he spotted a good wheeze to gain him some cheap political points and so personally attacked Jimmy Carr, in a disgraceful and undignified way.

Judgement? What Judgement?


I say this, Carr may have done something morally (if not legally) wrong, but the speed in which he admitted it, put his hand up to it, took immediate steps to rectify it and then did not shy away from the cameras, just took his medicine, is something he can be proud of and it is something that Cameron can learn from. In view of the way Carr has reacted to his own wrongdoing and what he himself describes as a "terrible error of judgement", I wonder if Cameron can explain to us why Jeremy Hunt is still in his position?  If only Cameron had just a fraction of Carr's humility, if he did, Jeremy Hunt the Minister for Murdoch Culture Secretary would NOT be in his position today.

Can Cameron give any cogent and rational explanation why he thinks it was OK to give Andy Coulson a "second chance" for reasons which he (Cameron) knew all about before he hired him, and yet, he obviously believes it is somehow OK to try and destroy a man and his career by launching an unseemly  "unstatesmanlike" personal attack on Carr in the press? Without even giving the man grace to react and explain himself first? Is this the way we expect the British Prime Minister (any British PM) to behave? Cameron doesn't see people; he sees political footballs to be used as and when required. People are not people to Cameron; they are commodities and working class people who vote for this charlatan, this hypocritical habitual lying narcissist need to have their bumps felt. While he is stealing their vote, he is also planning on how best he can abolish and privatise the NHS,  attack disabled people and keep them in fear of their own government, reduce workers wages,  abolish their workers rights, take their human rights, take their full time employment hopes and replace them with part time poorly paid work and all for the benefit of his big Tory donors, the multinational company directors, the Tory hedge funds, the bankers, etc.' to force us to pay for the greed of the bankers and all those that caused this problem and who all employ the same tax loopholes as Carr previously did. Absolute rank hypocrisy, yet working class people willingly give this lying scam monger their vote? Wake-up please, before it is too late!

"Carrgate" is sadly just the latest in a long line monumental hypocrisy from a PM with zero judgement. I keep saying it, the reason why Cameron is behaving this way is because he thinks he is right, he really believes he is infallible, he is a narcissist and a megalomaniac who is drunk on his own power and not only is this highly embarrassing internationally for this country; I truly believe the ordinary folk of this country, their livelihoods and their quality of life and their children's and grandchildren's futures are being put at grave risk. I spotted this in this PM before he came to power and his symptoms are steadily worsening, those with balls in the Tory party (Lib Dems need not apply), if they truly do believe in our country, need to do something about Cameron and they need to do it pretty damned quick.



Isn't it about time the editors in the Tory press also grew a spine and began actually exposing Cameron for the charlatan and absolute danger to this country he actually is? What on earth are they waiting for?

"Narcissism; Thy Name is David Cameron"


I refuse to be brow beaten into believing that this so-called "Coalition Government" has just developed by chance. I believe, (and this is where much of the deceit of Cameron comes in) that David Cameron and George Osborne have always intended this government to develop like this, more, I totally believe that they previously had a cast iron pact with Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats *before* (and in case of) the hung parliament of 2010. 

Despite all the secret assignations of those Tory and Liberal Democrat MPs; aka the *men* in suits and ties, whose mysterious images we saw walking in and out of closed meetings in London buildings on our TV screens; during that rather surreal time after the 2010 May general election; with hindsight we can all now see that was all a farce, a charade, an act played out for the benefit of the electorate. Grown men puffed up on their own importance unknowingly being manipulated by their leaders, yet at the very same time, the manipulators, "Osborne and Clegg" failed to see they they themselves were being manipulated by "call me Dave". Gordon Brown who was then still the Prime Minister being astute man he undoubtedly is realised this of course, which is why he famously called Nick Clegg's bluff  in "that" telephone call and was probably the last big service he done for this country before leaving office; His action then enables us to now see that Nick Clegg was playing mind games, not only with his own MPs, but also with the public and in doing so just like chancellor George Osborne and his boss David Cameron, showed contempt and scant regard for the welfare of the population of this country. All of the suits and ties chosen for those "coalition negotiations" were weak indecisive men playing at politics and their actions gave their leaders carte blanche to do exactly as they wished with the country; in other words, they were had!

I firmly believe that David Cameron, George Osborne; and Nick Clegg were all previously in 100% agreement that they wanted to take the country towards a totalitarian state and would do so if they got the chance in a hung parliament, and everything I have seen and heard since that May 2010 election confirms this; which makes a mockery out of Cameron's and Clegg's hustings proclamations, (one of several convergences of their stated views incidentally), that they wanted to see a "more open government" and a "more transparent government". Those lies are almost as farcical as the blatant lie that David Cameron told us all when he said: "there will be no more top down reorganisation of the NHS", before going on to introduce the biggest and total reform of the NHS in its entire 63 year history! Perhaps I should have named this piece "Liar Thy Name Is Cameron"? Because without a shadow of a doubt when Cameron made his NHS promise he already knew what he was going to do with *OUR* NHS and so too did Lansley, Clegg, and Osborne! Which if ever comes out will leave Lib Dem MPs reeling!

I have long thought that Cameron is an habitual liar, however,  I now think it is even more than this. I believe Cameron could very well be narcissistic. Take a real good look at him objectively, he is all one big act and it is not difficult to see, you don't have to be a psychologist to work that one out, your own well formed logic and rationale will expose it! Where Cameron falls down repeatedly is he takes the public for idiots, the vast majority did not have the privilege of wealth and public schooling as he did, ergo we are all thick! Often the case with people of limited scope like Cameron, they tend to judge others by their outdated, out moded class ridden wealth and privilege equals superiority, in short they believe their own hype, when really normal folk could out intellect Cameron any day of the week and very easily too and now with the birth of the internet they are not afraid to do it! Never has Abraham Lincoln's saying;
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
been proved so apt and so correct, because I believe the people of Britain are beginning to be very aware of David Cameron and what he is trying to do and when they realise he has been conning them for his own grubby political ends (just like the fuel crisis he purposefully triggered) they will not take too kindly to being used, especially when their families lives and futures depend upon being told the truth and good governance.


Whatever Cameron has said in opposition, he has said specifically to get into power. Not only has most of time he had no intention of seeing through his promises, the majority of the time his promises were just pie in the sky and totally impossible to deliver and he knew it! You can be forgiven for thinking that all politicians do this and to a certain extent you would be correct, however, with Cameron it appears to be a lot more than "normal" run of the mill politician from *all* parties stuff; what he has done and the lies he has blatantly told to this country and at such a worrying time for ordinary people and their families and children's futures just to get himself into power, and because he sees his accession to power as "a right", he transcends all decency and conventional norms, standards and ethics and morality which marks him out as different to most other politicians. If he were a doctor we would all be up in arms and he could probably be charged with breaking the Hippocratic oath ("first do no harm"). What Cameron has done and the intentional lies and the deliberate misleading he has constantly maintained both before and since he assumed office and power is just not right, he, is not right, something within him is not right, indeed something within Cameron is very, very wrong and as the days pass this is becoming more and more apparent; I believe, even to his own party! What the Conservative Party choose to do about it will depend greatly upon their own beliefs of what is ethical, moral and right and wrong! 

Look for example at Cameron's promises about our NHS and his protestations about wanting open and transparent government, how can we in all honesty equate those promises with what later transpired in the NHS so soon after Cameron came to power? How can we equate his promised openness and transparency pledges against his intentions to charge £1000's for Freedom of Information (FOI) requests ensuring he places such requests way above the ordinary person's reach? Thus preventing people from discovering not just what his government have been up to, but all previous governments too? FOI Act was introduced by the Labour government in 1997, now Cameron wants to remove that. In fact Cameron is blundering through policy and getting rid of everything Labour did no matter if it were right or wrong, and this in itself is yet another broken Cameron promise!

Like all Cameron's promises his promise about wanting a "small state" is a smokescreen, a misnomer and a complete and utter pack of lies. The only "small state" he wants is "financial", it's obvious he begrudges every single penny spent on improving the lot of the ordinary folk, he sees us a drag, a burden and an impediment to where he wants this country, but (and it is a colossal but) that is where Cameron's "smallness" ends; while he is spending less on the poor, vulnerable disabled and the ordinary person trying to juggle family and work etc., he wants to replenish the bank accounts accounts of the rich and powerful, while fooling us all it is for our own good and thus maintaining his vice like grip on power. He has to maintain the electoral support of his rich banker friends, his corporate multinational company bosses, his friends in private healthcare and his lobbyists, hedge fund bosses etc, because he needs their donations into the Tory party coffers and he needs their support at election time to try and stay in power. All these things interlink, he will be unable to succeed in his goal without any one of them. 

The way Cameron is manipulating us is by playing the age old tactic of 'divide and rule' which is proving devastating for the country as a whole and the time has come for us to stop him in his tracks. Up until now Cameron has been part successful in manipulating people into turning on each other, reporting each other, by playing on people's fear and ignorance. By producing incorrect statistics and by getting his friends in the Murdoch press to pass on Tory right wing propaganda  he has managed to convince some that the people who should pay for what 'his friends' the bankers did are the unemployed "layabouts", the benefit "scroungers"; the disabled "cheats", the "bloated" public sector, the "illegal" immigrants and immigrants in general; the nurses, doctors, teachers, road sweepers, refuse collectors etc. He has managed to convince some that the private sector is some kind of blinding beacon of all that is pure and right, it isn't of course, it's important of course it is but it is not the solution to this country's problems, and what Cameron doesn't tell you is that the public sector actually supports the private sector and it subsidises it (not vice versa). Cameron and Osborne were warned and repeatedly so, take away the public sector and we will enter a double dip recession, they did take it away and we are now in recession. David Cameron is a dictator and he is not even a very bright one, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous!

Problems await Cameron though, because like all dictators he believes too much in his own hype and the hype of those chosen lackeys around him whose whole raison d'etre is wanting to impress their narcissistic boss. However, the megalomaniac Cameron has a distinct failing, he is intellectually incapable, intellectually restricted, he can't do detail, he's hopeless at recall, and yes he is all of those things (and a lot more)  but if you believe that this makes him less dangerous, you would be very wrong, in fact his obvious failings make him even more dangerous because he is totally incapable of seeing where his own actions are taking this country. Cameron's apparent "narcissism" and distinct lack of ability combine lethally to make him a serious threat to the welfare of every single ordinary person in this country and a terrible threat to every single ordinary child's future prospects! In believing his own hype (and no doubt what he has been told during his over privileged upbringing), he simply doesn't know when to stop and who around him is brave enough, or strong enough to even try to stop him blustering on like the proverbial bull in a china shop through the intricacies of government and the civilised way this country has approached the welfare of our people up until now? Especially since the birth of the welfare state and the NHS? One other symptom of a narcissist which combined with all his other traits is what makes the situation this country is now in with a narcissist as a leader even more chilling, is his total lack of empathy. It's no good appealing to Cameron's better nature, he simply doesn't possess one and he never will, he doesn't care, he is a narcissist, he only cares about himself and he will use anything and anyone to get what he wants and this is yet another reason why he has to be stopped, why *WE* have to stop him.

He's arrogant, he doesn't listen, he uses people - just like he is using Baroness Warsi and the lackluster Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt as human shields at present, their jobs are safe *for now* but as soon as it becomes feasible make no mistake these two will be gone, sacked, banished. In throwing Lady Warsi, theTory party chairman to the wolves, Cameron is also treating Sir Alex Allan like a "useful idiot" and nowhere was this abuse of a defenseless civil servant so apparent than it was at last weeks PMQs, in yet another of Cameron's blatant abuses of power. Cameron produce a hastily scripted letter from Sir Alex, in true Cameron fashion he claimed it said one thing while in actuality it said something different. Cameron deliberately misrepresented what Sir Alex Allan had written. It's nothing new for this prime minister to do this, in fact it is par for the course, and if the Speaker, John Bercow, really did want to restore some order and dignity to the House of Commons, he could start by pulling Cameron up on his lies and deliberate misleading. He could tackle Cameron's "narcissism" head on and expose him to the people, it may sound the death knell of his position as Speaker, but would make the man as a human being, who seems at present to be the only Tory (blue or orange) with the balls to tackle the PM.

Previously Cameron has used Andy Coulson and Steve Hilton, if they are harbouring any lingering hope of ever returning to Cameron and number 10 then I sincerely hope they are not holding their breath! Their number is up and their boat has been called in, their use for the PM is at an end, they are over, no more, zero, zilch; kaput! The users have been used; I wonder if Nick Clegg and George Osborne by now realise that they too are on Cameron's list of "disposable assets"? If not, then they should seriously prepare for the nastiest of surprises!

A "Dave" For All Occasions:

Jovial Dave; Nice Dave; Thoughtful Dave; Sincere Dave; Indignant Dave, Caring Dave are all "Daves" who simply don't exist. The real Dave is a caricature of  Sinister Dave and Bullying Dave, chauvinistic Dave and arrogant over privileged, intellectually challenged Dave - the real Dave is a cardboard cut out collage of "Daves"; The real Dave thinks he does a good job of hiding himself, but he doesn't, not really, because we see the unpleasant examples of the other Daves when he is placed under pressure, as in Prime Minister Questions (PMQs) and recently in the Leveson Inquiry when he was forced to give evidence.

However, underlying all the many facets of Dave beats the heart of a truly pathological narcissistic Dave, an extremely dangerous Dave, because never forget, people like him are the kind who start world wars!

Do the people around Cameron and the Tory party as a whole realise they have a narcissistic totalitarian as a leader? Is this something they are quite willing to inflict on the people of this country just as long as they can cling onto power for a while longer, regardless of the damage that is being caused? Damage that if continues, will become so grave, the Tories will end up as much of an unelectable rump as their reviled Liberal Democrat coalition partners?  Is this what they became Conservatives for?

Do they really want a government that subordinates the individual to the state and strictly controls all aspects of life by coercive measures? If they don't, then they need to examine exactly what "sinister Dave" is up to and look at the bigger picture of all of his policy proposals. FOI, removal of human and workers rights, unnecessary union interference. removal of legal aid, exposing vulnerable people and children to domestic violence. Forcing people to work for nothing under the threat of having their benefits removed. What will be next, the abolition of the minimum wage? Work Houses? We already have NHS privatisation happening which will undoubtedly introduce a two trier health system and probably "poor hospitals" where people without funds will be be doled out the just barest basic of treatments to stop them dying on the streets. We are already seeing "social cleansing" happening in London where people on low incomes are being forced out to poor boroughs and in some cases left without a home to join the growing number of rough homeless sleepers.  This is controlling of people by the state and it should not be confused with Conservatism.

Although Cameron tries to come across as someone who seems to possess confidence or strong self-esteem, he hasn't, he appears to have an unhealthy trait of thinking so highly of himself that he has placed himself on a pedestal. He truly believes he is better than anyone else you can actually sense this in PMQs, it's almost palpable. He has probably fantasied about power and becoming prime minister for years.

Look at his relationship with another narcissist, Rebekah Brooks, she, lacking in real talent for the positions she has held and has got her power by courting rich and famous people, dumping them when they are of no further use; like her ex husband actor Ross Kemp who she also physically attacked (and in much the same way as Cameron dumps people he has no further use for), they are very similar to each other. Obviously the woman has some kind of appeal to men and they fall for her, hook, line and sinker. This is the woman who sent an astonishing toe curling sycophantic text to Cameron the day before his speech to the Tory party conference, she so knew the way to get to David Cameron was through the use of constant praise, attention and admiration.

Cameron is an attention seeker, he wanted the power and was willing to do and say anything to get it, exaggerating his talents, bumping himself up making people think he had the answers, that he could save "broken Britain" by first making  people think Britain was broken when it wasn't. Giving absolutely no regard to the lives and thoughts and feelings of others, getting them to accept the horrendous downsizing of their own standard and quality of life by first getting them to believe that it is their fault (too much spending on credit cards, too much reliance on benefits etc) and the fault of former PM Gordon Brown ( spending on schools, hospitals, nurses, midwives, doctors, teachers, police, the "bloated" public sector etc) that the country was in the state it was in and that it had nothing to do with Cameron's friends and Tory party donors the bankers, or the *global* financial recession. If people complained he, Osborne and Clegg would trot out the line "we're all in this together" and appealed to their sense of community spirit and so Cameron's "Big Society" was born, where he hoped to get people working for nothing, so he could save yet more money to channel through to his City Tory donor friends. Note that it was Cameron's Big Society until it started attracting negative coverage and then it pretty soon became Steve Hilton's "Big Society". In true narcissistic fashion Cameron would have claimed it had it gone right and soon dumped it when it didn't and now Steve Hilton is on "gardening leave" in the US, which he and Cameron refer to as a "sabbatical". Poor Hilton has been dumped and he doesn't even realise it.

Cameron allows his ministers to make policy because he doesn't have the ability to do it himself, he doesn't understand detail, he cannot see the bigger picture, but it is he that will take the credit for any successes and they who will take the blame for failures, This has been proved repeatedly as the incompetence of this shocking government is laid bare daily, with one car crash policy after another and one disastrous budget after another, and disastrous economic policies that bite the dust, because the chancellor doesn't know what he is doing either. Cameron regularly takes advantage of others, he demands they go along with his plans and apparently he regularly  expresses disdain for those he feels are inferior to him, which unfortunately is most of us! 

Personal attacks for Cameron are par for the course to as is seen in the House of Commons as soon as he comes under pressure. He has accused Ed Miliband of "knifing his brother in the back" he has accused female MPs on his own side of being "frustrated", other female MPs are treated with a terrible obnoxious display of indifference simply because they are women! He has accused the Shadow Chancellor of behaving like he has "Tourettes," no thought at all to those people and their families who do suffer from this exhausting debilitating condition. He told a veteran Labour MP to retire and cash his pension. This behaviour just goes on an on there are so many examples of it they deserve an entry all of their own! His narcissistic behaviour was even evident when he gave evidence at the Leveson Inquiry last week when he dismissed a former PM Gordon Brown as a talking nonsense and of making a conspiracy theory up, this he did in his rush to protect Rupert Murdoch who's support he is terrified of losing. It later transpires that Gordon Brown was telling the truth, but then David Cameron knew this, but this would not stop him. He likes to appear tough minded, but he isn't, he is woefully lacking and horrifyingly inadequate for the high office he holds, and his poor memory make him a dreadful liar and his bullying and arrogance and incompetence are starting to resonate with the public.


If you think you are powerlessness to stop him and the elite, you are not, in fact you are all powerful and if just a fraction of those who never vote turned out to vote with the intention of voting Cameron out, he would fail and fail miserably. He knows this, which is why he tries so hard to make *YOU* feel apathetic, weak and that all politicians are the same, it suits Cameron to have you think like that because while you, he can manipulate you into not bothering to vote which gives him a better chance of staying in power and power is the only thing that Cameron loves (apart from himself).

What the Tories have in Cameron and what this country has in our Prime Minister is someone who is over privileged with an over inflated sense of self worth who actually believes he is many classes above everyone else and who recognises no limits to his authority and is striving to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible - is this Conservatism or totalitarian narcissism? You decide! But remember, whatever it is, it is what we have got and that is very frightening; remember also that Cameron is not only the man with his finger on the nuclear button, he has the power to destroy your family and your children's lives and he will not hesitate to do it, don't let him, because you *CAN* stop him!

Come On Wake-Up David Cameron and His Gangster Banksters and Spivs Are Probably Crooks!

 Peter Cruddas was forced to resign under a cloud last March 2012 after he was secretly filmed offering who he believed to be wealth foreign donors access to the prime minister in his private suite in Downing Street for £250,000, even though Cruddas was made aware that this was also going to be a foreign donation. (Which is against parliamentary rules).The Sunday Times reporters had posed as Liechtenstein-based fund managers who wanted to develop contacts with Cameron and other ministers on behalf of their Middle East investors. Peter Cruddas once worked in the City for the Bank Iran and the National Bank for Jordan. Seems these City type sharks really do swim in circles hunting their prey!

Alarm bells should be going off here because Peter Cruddas made his millions off of the back of derivatives.  Derivatives mean there are no tangible or financial asset that has to be in the picture. Wagers of any amount can be made, based only on opinions. Most hedge funds use derivatives for hedging. Remember that hedge funds can endanger and undermine entire economies and is what caused the global financial recession in the first place. 

Peter Cruddas made his money out of spread-betting, who knows he may have even been present in this room listening and cheering on David Cameron!

Cruddas  was specifically put in place in the Tory party financial heart by David Cameron as co Treasurer of the Conservative party a man who made made all of his money off the back of derivatives; 

His company CMC Markets is 86% owned by Cruddas and family and 10% owned by *Goldman Sachs*!

Of course you may remember that Goldman Sachs and a London-based executive director, Fabrice Tourre, had been named in an alleged $1bn fraud in and around 2007, involving dodgy mortgages, powerful hedge funds.  Were caught making money out of their very own clients during the financial crisis. 
More recently read what former employee Greg Smith had to say about Goldman Sachs when he left: Greg Smiths resignation letter.

Michael Hintz formerly of Goldman Sachs and Tory party donor A millionaire hedge fund baron who bankrolled former Defence Secretary Liam Fox made a series of personal donations and gifts to a string of senior Cabinet Ministers, including the Prime Minister and Chancellor.

"The extensive links between Goldman Sachs and the Conservative Party;
  •  Political donations totalling £8.5million to British politicians in the past decade from Goldman and ex-Goldman people;
  • Goldman Sachs’ immense lobbying machine in Brussels, including active membership of over a dozen financial sector lobby groups;
  • Extensive meetings between Goldman Sachs and Conservative MEPs including: 9 meetings in six months with a key MEP on the Parliament’s Economics and Monetary Committee; and a total of 36 meetings between just four Tory MEPs and Goldman Sachs, its lobby groups or PR companies acting on their behalf;
  • The bank’s lobbying campaign to undermine political reform on derivatives and alternative investment funds including: private dinners and unminuted "after office hours” meetings, high-level conferences and targeted campaigns to Commission officials, MEPs and their assistants;
  •  How Goldman Sach’s lobbyists tried to undermine amendments in a key report on derivatives, seen as “financial weapons of mass destruction”;  
    The bank’s lobbying enabled them to gamble on food futures and drive up prices."

Peter Cruddas the former co Treasurer of the Tory party, hired by David Cameron himself his business is 10% owned by Goldman Sachs!

Nice friends, donors and links our prime minister David Cameron has!

(Our prime minister, David Cameron once used to boast that the "City was in his blood" he hailed from a long line of bankers.) For those of you who do not know about Cameron's background I have included a video below, take a look at David Cameron in action talking to a room full of City folk; bankers, hedge funders, derivative gamblers, venture capitalists etc. Look at the fawning going on in that room, they know "their man" when they see him and make no mistake Cameron and his mate Osborne are definitely the banksters men! Listen intently to what the then future PM was saying to those people and remember all the time that it is these people who caused the problems in the global economy! these very same people who are now forcing ordinary people to pay for the their mess brought about by their appalling greed. These are the very same people who are now aiding and abetting our PM, our DPM and our Chancellor into forcing cleaners, dustmen, nurses, teachers, shop workers, factory workers, office workers, the disabled, the unemployed etc., to clean it all *their* filthy avaricious mess up, at the same time as lying to you and trying to fool you into believing a pack of lies that Labour's spending on schools, hospitals, nurses, midwives, doctors, teachers, police, firefighters, transport, Sure Start centres, nursery education for all 4 yr olds, local public services, in short providing a better life for *us all* etc (all the things we expect our government to spend our money on) was somehow responsible for causing the global recession and the crisis in Europe. Such utter tosh, yet some people who do not think, or do not know the background to Cameron and Osborne and Clegg and all their City gangster type friends and banker mates readily believe such nonsense. To paraphrase "Now is the time  for all good people to come to the aid of the country" stop believing the utter drivel and blatant lies of our habitually lying Tory PM  and help Labour throw him and his scheming money grabbing greed and power driven bankster types and corporate parasites leeching on the unemployed out of power, before their all consuming greed and shocking incompetence takes us all down with them.  Look and listen on to the video below...



David Cameron came to power promising to "clean up politics" and has promptly lead one of the most sleaziest, deceitful  and probably highly "corrupt" government's in the history of this country and it only took him a few months to get there, which indicates that Cameron already knew of much that was going on before he assumed power;

In a speech in February 2010 Mr Cameron pledged to crack down on the role of "controversial lobbyists"; Mr Cameron said: "There is another big issue we can no longer ignore. 'It is the next big scandal waiting to happen' he was talking about lobbying and the cosying up of political parties. Well he should know, take a look over this blog, I have researched some truly startling evidence of the Tory involvement with lobbyists, fatcat corporations, hedge funders, private health companies, in fact don't take my word for it, do your own research, it is now all over the net! There is absolutely no further excuse for ignorance about our appalling so called "coalitions government"!  Cameron's speeches about lobbying (because there are many) is not only going to come back and haunt him  (as will his personal involvement with Peter Cruddas); The PM is also this coming week due to give evidence at the Leveson inquiry on his and his party's relationship with Rupert Murdoch and News International and he has serious questions to answer, which could even topple this truly terrible Tory government.

As Peter Cruddas is back in the news let's take a further little look at him, just to refresh our memories the kind of people that our PM likes to associate with;

Cruddas was resident in Monaco for a period until March 2009, he also has a £10 million apartment there. Monaco seems to be very popular with Tories like Philip Green (another of David Cameron's friends/government advisers! Monaco has no income tax and low business taxes, and is well known for being a tax haven. Cruddas commuted into London daily (so much for Cameron's pledge to be the "greenest government ever") from Monaco via his private jet landing at Capital City airport. This meant he could avoid being termed as a non dom and not be subjected to UK taxes.

The now ex-party treasurer Peter Cruddas and large donors met David Cameron at more than a dozen private events, none of which got a mention on a list published by Downing Street. Why is the PM so reluctant to publish the history of these kind of meetings if he wants to "clean up politics" and make "government more transparent"? And why does Cameron and the Tories want to charge people thousands of pounds for obtaining information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) if as Cameron has said he wants to make "government more accountable to the people?" ( The previous Labour government introduced Freedom of Information legislation in 1997 as a means of opening up the public sector and improving transparency in Government.)

Cruddas has a stated his intention to give away £100 million to enable children who have a background like his to succeed. To achieve this he set up the Peter Cruddas Foundation, which is chaired by the former Conservative cabinet minister David Young, Baron Young of Graffham.  The Cruddas foundation all looks very laudable, (and I will at a later date in another blog  explain why I think it is just a front for him to hide behind) after all since when does a "bankster" like Peter Cruddas who would have difficulty giving us ordinary folk the drippings off of his nose, give away millions of pounds if there was nothing in it for him? Why has he been donating hundreds of thousands to the Tory party, a £100,000 of which was donated shortly after he was caught trying to procure donations for the Conservative party by selling access to Cameron and to government policy to foreign investors? Both of which he knew were actually illegal! Peter Cruddas resigned and Cameron made several statements, but it is clear that the only thing that Cameron believes really went wrong was that they were caught!  Cameron said: 
"what happened is completely unacceptable, it shouldn't have happened, it's quite right that Peter Cruddas has resigned and I'll make sure that there is a proper party inquiry to make sure this doesn't happen again".
What doesn't happen again? According to Cameron no one did anything illegal which is why he ordered a pathetic internal inquiry headed by another Tory peer Lord Gold and refused to hold a proper independent inquiry into this matter. Or is Cameron launching an inquiry to make certain that they never get caught again?

 I took a little look at his foundation and just the briefest of searches started to reveal some oddities.

Again I am astonished at the thousands of pies that seem to have Tory MPs and Tory Lords fingers stuck firmly in them and how these MPs and Lords, advisers, Treasurers, chairmen etc all seem to be linked up. Peter Cruddas is of course associated with Lord Young and he is also associated with Michael Hintz and they are both associated with Goldman Sachs!

 Lord Young was chairman of the Institute of Directors (IOD) for many years; The Institute is a closed club which holds its meetings in secret. The Tories have a lot of these "quaint" little closed clubs another of them is called the Midlands Industrial Council (MIC) which I mention later in this blog. This is where businessmen who donate to the Tory party do so to "influence policy" and can do so without being publicly exposed, it's a loophole which the Tories use to good and full effect.

 I was puzzled to come across something else concerning Conservative peer, Lord Young of Graffam; perhaps there is absolutely nothing to it but I want to ask the question anyway; why is Lord Young who is associated with the now former Conservative Party co Treasurer, Peter Cruddas Foundation associated with a company called CamCon Medical Ltd? Also listed in Lord Young's Register of Interests is CamCon Oil Russia - why?

Why was a company called CamCon Medical Ltd registered in 2009 approximately six months before the UK general election which the Tories were expected to win? A company which has laid dormant ever since? Why would someone like Lord Young waste his time doing something like this?  I just wonder if this company has been registered and left dormant for future use when the Tory government's privatisation of the NHS really gets going? It still feels like a really freaky coincidence that the words "Cam" and "Con" used in all of these companies titles are the first three letters of CAMeron and CONservative!

A check Lord Young's list of interests you will find 32 of them, many with the same status. Lord Young who has been a peer since 1984 is listed as just  plain old Mr David Young on Directorcheck which further reveals his directorship of  

CAMCON CHINA LIMITED
CAMCON MEDICAL lIMITED
CAMCON INDUSTRIAL LIMITED

(All of which are listed as active directorships)

On the first day of the Thatcher government in 1979, Keith Joseph, the Secretary of State for Industry appointed Lord Young as his adviser for what later became known as privatisation. 

Lord Young is another of David Cameron's poor judgement calls. Young was recalled to Government by Mr Cameron as an unpaid entrepreneurial adviser and given a desk in Downing Street. He was forced to resign  shortly after  for making comments in an interview with The Daily Telegraph where he said that due to low interest rates "those with mortgages had never had it so good", in this "so called recession". While "people would “wonder what all the fuss was about” over the spending cuts." In a measure of how out of touch he actually is, he still believes he said nothing wrong, despite millions of families who have been forced on the breadline by his government and are being forced to borrow on expensive credit cards just to make ends meet! Fitting that Cameron also brought Young into the government when Young was formerly partly responsible for privatisation of the state in Mrs Thatcher's government, again this seems to have a bearing on what Cameron is now doing in privatising everything *as well as the NHS*!

We have seen several major scandals hit the Tory party in quick succession, all involving lobbyists and all were written off by Downing St as deluded.

  • Andy Coulson/Rebekah Brooks
  • Jeremy Hunt Culture Minister/Adam Smith/Fred Michel
  • Rupert and James Murdoch/NI/The Sun and NOtW
  • Peter Cruddas
  • Liam Fox/Adam Werritty
  • Bell Pottinger/Lord Bell/Tim Collins

All have several things in common, all these people claim to have access to Cameron and or Osborne and the British government
All claim to be able to influence government policy and number 10 has denied it each time arrogantly referring to mounting evidence of wrongdoing and corruption within the British Conservative government as "bluster" and inferring that the people doing the claiming are "Walter Mitty like characterless".

Cameron has said that none of these people influenced policy, but then he has a poor memory what about the Midland Industrial Council (MIC) scandal that rocked the Tory part BEFORE they were even elected to government? I have covered this extensively on this blog. One of the MIC members a businessman freely admits he donates large sums to the Tory party with a view to receiving something back and influencing policy

Who said that the government doesn't know that their donors do not want to influence policy?

Peter Shirley MIC Member and also a member of the "Tory" Taxpayers Alliance said:

'I’m a member of the MIC. I was absolutely amazed that it was David Cameron who came to the (factory) opening... We tell (Tory Ministers) that if they’re
going to have policies, we would like to know what the heck they are.'
Most "shadow ministers" have attended MIC meetings and George Bridges,
Cameron’s head of campaigns, is in regular contact with it...

It never ceases to amaze me that when we dig a little under the surface of the Conservative party how all these names crop up and all seemed to be interlinked in some way, either by "charitable foundations" or "dormant companies" or other business interests, with banking, hedge funds, venture capitalists, derivatives and private health care running through the British Conservative party like a stick of Brighton rock! Take a look I have listed some of them here.  No wonder they bizarrely want to put the blame for the global financial recession  and international banking collapse onto the Labour party, because when a deeper look is taken at the Tories it doesn't make very good reading for them. The majority of Tory MPs, Lords, advisers etc all appear to have strong financial vested interests in what Cameron and Osborne are trying to do to this country and in forcing the poorest to pay for the greed of the "banksters".  I'm not suggesting that this doesn't also occur in the other two main parties to a certain degree because it does, but on nothing like the scale it occurs in the Tory party! No wonder Cameron doesn't want a proper investigation into the Peter Cruddas affair, because just the Jeremy Hunt affair any proper investigation is going to reveal some startling information about the Tories and how they operate in and out of government!

Quite honestly, I have never known a government like this current Tory government and Tory government is what it actually is, lets not delude ourselves, the Liberal Democrats who are supposed to be coalition partners are hopelessly out of touch and out of their depth and no match for the Tory party, they are just being used for their numbers to keep the Tories in power. The Liberal Democrats are in government but not in power!
