George Osborne Stands Ready To Bail Out Ireland.

Ireland stands as a shining example
 of the art of the possible in long-term economic
policy making,
and that is why I am in Dublin:
to listen and to learn

So at last the truth is coming out, it always does.

Britain was NEVER nearly bankrupt and everything that Osborne, Cameron and Clegg have said about the British economy during the election campaign and since taking office has been clearly shown to be a series of huge lies.

Is this the real reason why Sir Alan Budd left the Office of Budget Responsibility? Because he knew the lies this government were telling and he did not want to be part of those lies, knowing that at some point they would all come out?

Osborne, Cameron and Clegg have repeatedly blamed the UK's Labour government and Gordon Brown for the global economic crisis, how come Osborne and Cameron blamed Brown and Labour for the effect of the global economic crisis and has not blamed the Irish government? Just a short while ago Osborne was heaping praise on the Irish and telling our Government that we should be following their example, all I can say is thank goodness the UK Government and Gordon Brown had the sense NOT to follow the The Irish. Today George Osborne has been offering Ireland billions of pounds of UK taxpayers money in an effort to keep the Irish economy stable? What the hell is Osborne playing at? Let the EU or the IMF bail the Irish out, it is not for us to do it. Why is he even thinking of doing this when he says this country has no money? It is astonishing.

How come George Osborne can bail the Irish banks out, but did not want the Labour Government to bail the British banks out? Osborne was prepared to allow our banks to go under, taking with them, peoples businesses, jobs, homes, pensions and savings.

If Osborne bails Ireland out, what happens in the even of more UK banks needing a bailout as has been predicted next year?

Osborne is in the process of destroying the NHS, destroying education, destroying our children's futures, displacing thousands of people by taking their housing benefits away, destroying the construction industry, making over 500.000 public sector workers redundant and over 500.000 private sector workers too, saying we have no money and then he offers Ireland billions to save their jobs and services?

Why is Osborne offering to pay for another country's mistakes?  He says it is in the national interest to bail Ireland out. I would like to know why he thinks it is in the national interest to bail Ireland out, while reneging on a promised loan to Sheffield Forgemasters of just £80 million? Which would have been paid back with interest, which would have put British manufacturing at the forefront of new green nuclear power technology, which would have supported the local economy and also supported subsidiary companies who supply Sheffield Forgemasters. How come billions of pounds of British taxpayers money can be found to support Ireland, while denying one of our own companies a loan? I understand that the denial of this loan has nearly bankrupted Sheffield Forgemasters. None of this makes any sense.
The chancellor is stepping in to give billions to Ireland yet has cancelled our schools for the future programme, which is now beginning to have a devastating effect on British construction.

Thanks to the Labour the UK Government did not make the same mistakes as the Irish government did, and once again thanks to the Labour government the UK weathered the GLOBAL economic storm far better than most other countries have done. Yet Osborne, Cameron and Clegg said we were going the way of Greece and were nearly bankrupt, if that is the case, then we certainly do not have the money to help the Irish out. Truth is all about what Osborne is planning to do to the UK economy and without the Irish economy, we are well and truly up the creek without a paddle and this is the real reason why Osborne is panicking and offering Ireland billions of pounds!

Is Osborne Running Scared?

The wheels are already off his wagon here in the UK, he and Cameron and Clegg know that the UK does not manufacture or export nearly enough to underpin this coalition government's insane cuts. For the Tories insane gamble with the UK economy to work, Ireland has to keep importing 40% of goods and services from the UK, which when you look at the position of the UK and the situation we all knew Ireland was in (including George Osborne), this actually makes Osborne's gamble not just totally insane, but completely irresponsible and utterly foolhardy. it is actually criminally negligent, Osborne simply cannot be allowed to continue like this.

How on earth could he have gambled all our livelihoods and children's futures on a country in worse shape than the UK? It is obvious to anyone with just half a brain that Ireland's people are totally cash strapped, their pay cut and frozen, unemployment rising and youth unemployment running at 32%, so how was this country going to afford to continue ordering 40%  of goods and services from the UK? It is not rocket science! There are people over there handing their keys back to their mortgage lenders because they can no longer afford the mortgage. Is George Osborne and David Cameron totally and utterly insane?

If Osborne starts throwing our money at Ireland in a bid to stop her going bankrupt, this will be throwing good money after bad, it will be reminisce of the last Tory government's "Black Wednesday" when Norman Lamont and John Major started throwing all our money at the ESR and manged to lose this country billions of pounds in the process.

The whole thing is an absurd hypocrisy from Osborne and the Tories, who have no idea about running a sweetie shop, let alone the finances of a country. Has Osborne chastised the Irish government for spending too much on their public services? In 2006 Osborne said this:

In Britain, the Left have us stuck debating a false choice. They suggest you have to choose between lower taxes and public services. Yet in Ireland they have doubled spending on public services in the past decade while reducing taxes and shrinking the State’s share of national income. So not only does Ireland now have lower business and income taxes than the UK, there are also twice as many hospital beds per head of population."


Osborne even accused the then UK Labour government of not spending enough on public services.

Where has all these billions of pounds suddenly come from in order to help Ireland out? And if there is any spare cash, then shouldn't this cash be given to cash strapped councils who are on the verge of making 25% budget cuts and cutting services like care to the UK's elderly and disabled children?

George Osborne has today said that Britain stands ready to bail Ireland out. Really? Has he bothered asking the British people what we have to say about this, or has he just assumed it and is now telling us what we think? Who the hell is George Osborne to make such a decision?

If looking and learning from across the Irish Sea was of paramount importance to George Osborne in February 2006, who was then in opposition, can he now tell us what he has learned?
because from where I am standing shortly after Osborne went to Ireland on his learning mission, they started to go down the tubes along with the rest of the world.

So Mr Osborne, care to say why the Irish model has not worked? And why you are over there today offering them our money? More to the point, we have seen several attempts of cutting Irish spending to the bone and it has NOT worked, why is George Osborne insisting on taking the UK down exactly the same route to certain disaster?

"A GENERATION ago, the very idea that a British politician would go to Ireland to see how to run an economy would have been laughable. The Irish Republic was seen as Britain’s poor and troubled country cousin, a rural backwater on the edge of Europe. Today things are different. Ireland stands as a shining example of the art of the possible in long-term economic policymaking, and that is why I am in Dublin: to listen and to learn. " George Osborne

Just as well that George Osborne was not the chancellor when he visited Ireland in 2006, or we would have gone down the same road as them and would now be in the same situation as them, needing a bail out from the IMF. 

The most ridiculous think is that despite Ireland's obvious mistakes with their economy, and despite their austerity measures failing, Osborne is still trying to copy them, he appears devoid of any kind of ideas or economic know how. Osborne simply has to go before he messes this country up entirely, he is just not fit for purpose.

The offer of this money to the Irish, just demonstrates clearly the huge and "unwinnable" gamble this totally barking mad government is taking with all or livelihoods and our children's futures, they have not only pinned all their hopes on exporting and British manufacturing which was ruined by Margaret Thatcher, they have done exactly the same ting by taking a colossal gamble on the Irish economy coming good and it just 'ain't gonna happen.

Truly we are being governed by idiots, all spin and no substance, they have not got a bloody clue what they are doing!

Seriously, we have to get this shower out of Government because if we do not, they are going to destroy all our lives as well as the country.

Government & Right Wing Press Use Programme of Disinformation

Yes they laugh as they they announce they are putting 500.000
public sector workers out of a job, which in turn
will put a further 500 000 private sector
workers out of a job.
But they need to laugh now, because we who will have the
last laugh, will laugh the longest!

The Coalition government is using a programme of disinformation in order to confuse and muddy the waters and to paint a false picture about what is really happening in Britain. I hope our overseas allies are taking notice of how the British government is riding roughshod over our most vulnerable people in our British communities, when this government comes preaching to you about your "human rights" abuses!

When David Cameron was in opposition, he used exactly the same tactic to paint a false picture of British life, he named his soundbite "Broken Britain", he and his friends in the Murdoch right wing press, had people believing that life in Britain was broken and that our streets were lawless, when they are not. Cameron, Murdoch and the rest of the Tory supporting right wing press, painted a picture of this country that was completely false, saying crime had risen, when it most emphatically had NOT. In actual *FACT*, over the 13 years that the Labour government were in power, crime actually FELL by a huge 42%, thanks to the new powers given to police and the thousands of extra police and community police support officers by the Labour Government.

David Cameron the British Prime Minister is nothing but a cheap and nasty dirty liar, he cannot sue me for libel for this, because it is the truth! So is Nick Clegg the deputy PM and the Tory chancer Chancellor, George Osborne, liars. In fact these people do nothing but peddle lies each and every day.

About the London demonstration that took place last week when the Tory HQ at Milbank Towers got wrecked.

Let's get this straight, there were around 50000 people on that demo, all except "rent a mob" were peaceful. Rent a mob were there specifically to cause trouble and incite violent behaviour, they take feelings running high and stoke the flames, they are expert at what they do. I note the Tory right wing press are still ranting about this, yet the Tory right wing press are expert at inciting racial tensions, also inciting tensions over this march and ill feelings towards people unfortunate enough to be on welfare! They help the government by encouraging people to believe that every single person on welfare is somehow a "welfare scrounger" or a "benefit cheat" and that every unemployed person does not want to work and is a "dole bludger" preferring to stay in bed while their "neighbour gets up and goes to work", or it is a lifestyle choice of everyone who wants to stay at home and watch Jeremy Kyle on daytime TV. This is totally *INCORRECT*, and it is a programme of *DISINFORMATION* that our British Tory government is spreading, aided and abetted by the "poodle in my pocket" Liberal democrats and their mates in the right wing press, like Murdoch's "Scum" and Times and NoW.
And now we see the right wing press employing exactly the same tactics to tar all 50000 people with the same brush, while completely ignoring the message that over 49.000 people tried to send to the government *PEACEFULLY*. Well these people and all the rest of us will not shut up and we will not go quietly, and let us not forget one thing.
"If the government was not trying to shaft students, the sick, the poor, the disabled and the unemployed, then none of these demonstrations would be taking place"
Ultimately it is the government's fault for ignoring us, they are NOT listening, they said they would, both Cameron and Clegg said this was the "new politics", transparent politics and that they would listen, well they are NOT. And they lied, Clegg has lied and he has been caught out in many huge lies and he is going to be held accountable, just like he and Cameron said, in the MP recall! Watch over a thousand students go out into Clegg's constituency to collect 10.000 signatures from his electorate, enough to force him to hold a by-election, or will this be another pledge that Clegg will quickly dump?

This is only the beginning, so all Tories and Lib Dems of a delicate nature may want to get their worry beads out! I make this promise to this government, "your days are numbered" and do not get too used to your ministerial cars, plush offices and taxpayer funded teams of "spinmeisters", photographers and webcam film makers and personal stylists for the missus, you disgraceful bunch of two faced Tory hypocrites.

The coalition ("Con-Dem) Government can ignore over 49.000 people and their message if they want to, but it will not be the last message this stinking lousy ideologically driven government is sent! Not by a long chalk! Let them behave like ostriches, when they do take their fat heads out of the sand, they will find it is too late!

The Beginning of the End For Our NHS!

I have learned something about the NHS that if it comes to fruition may be the beginning of the end for a free NHS at the "point of need".

Derby City Primary Care Trust has been put out to tender, a number of expressions of interest have already been received and one is believed to be a major private health care provider. PCT staff in Derby City were told this week that that it was being put out to tender after a possible merger with Derby City Council fell through.

It is also believed that there is interest from Boots to run the walk-in centres!

This is the same for PCT's nationwide. Is this the beginning of privatisation of the health service?

What is this coalition/Tories playing at with the NHS?

This needs exposing, the coalition government ie Andrew Lansley, is lying to the British people.

We know that the Tories have financial supporters who have donated to the Tories in the past John Nash who donated £21.000 to Health Secretary Andew Lansley's office during the general election, he is chairman of Care UK. Sir Peter Gershon who helped the Tories draw up plans for cuts in the NHS, is chairman of Healthcare UK. There are also American healthcare providers companies circling our NHS waiting to pick off the most lucrative contracts said to be worth billions of pounds.

GPs are already said to be extremely worried about the government's proposals, they fear being pushed into a role of accountant and healthcare rationing as budgets run low. Many GPs who simply will not be able to take on the role of accountant will be forced to hire in administration staff, placing further pressure on already overloaded budgets. With PCTs gone, who will take up the strain of hospitals or "GP consortia" if they run out of money, due to natural events, like a swine flu outbreak? Privately run Walk in Centres will not be treating people! The care of the chronically sick, the disabled or elderly is going to be placed in grave danger as GPs are forced to strike them off their lists, this will create "healthcare gypsies" being shunted to and fro GP surgeries in search of emergency healthcare!
Is this where the axe starts to fall upon the NHS? NHS bosses have already said to have drawn up *SECRET* plans for sweeping cuts to services, with restrictions on even the most basic treatments for the sick and injured.

We believe that this move detailed above are part of those still "secret" plans.

Today a report in the Sunday Telegraph has also leaked a slightly different aspect to this story, the presence of this story is actually more or less confirming what I have been told about plans for the NHS!

Plans to cut hundreds of thousands of pounds from budgets for the terminally ill, with dying cancer patients to be told to manage their own symptoms if their condition worsens at evenings or weekends. Read More:  The Sunday Telegraph

Tying in with our story above and the closure of all 152 Primary Care trusts and 12 Strategic Health Authorities, there will simply be no one available to help these vulnerable patients.

Is this what people voted Conservative and Liberal Democrat for? Where is the mandate for this despicable policy proposal?

People need to wake up and wake up fast, we are sleepwalking smack bang into an American style healthcare system and this Conservative government with its lackey "prop up poodles in their pockets" Liberal Democrat MPs are enabling them to do so. Are the Liberal Democrats going to vote this one meekly through parliament too?

This is creeping privatisation of our NHS by the back-door!

The "Fall and Fall" of "Confidence Trickster" Nick Clegg!

The "Rose Garden"
Con-Men
They think Lying to the electorate, the
press and the media is a big joke!

Since it has emerged that Nick Clegg and senior Liberal Democrat MPs decided on ditching their pledge on 'not to raise tuition fees' *BEFORE* the 2010 May, General Election was held, it has laid bare many of the Liberal Democrat leader's "confidence tricks" which have been born out of Clegg's lust for power at any price.

This is the third time it has emerged that Nick Clegg changed his mind about a major key policy included in the Liberal Democrat manifesto and not bothered to tell the electorate about his change of mind.

The Liberal Democrat leader and now the deputy prime minister, admitted that he changed his mind about the timing of spending cuts prior to the general election, despite publicly telling the electorate weeks before the poll that early deep cuts would be "economic masochism". Clegg at first tried to lie his way out of this by citing Mervyn King in a telephone call, saying he had, had his mind changed, but Clegg later admitted that he had changed his views on the timing of cuts well before the general election had even taken place, so what he told BBC's Nick Robinson in an interview was patently untrue.

Nick Clegg's admission then dovetailed with  comments made by King to the Treasury select committee, in which he told MPs that he gave no fresh information to Clegg in a call on 15 May that could have led to him to call for a faster deficit reduction programme than the one outlined by his party during the election campaign. I am honestly beginning to think that Nick Clegg is a "pathological liar" or a "Walter Mitty" type character, who has very blurred boundaries of truth and fiction.

Just how many lies has Nick Clegg told the electorate in order to win votes?

It may surprise some to learn that talks between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives forming a Coalition Government, in the event of a Hung Parliament, were held before a single vote was cast.  

It makes all the 'bon home' in the Rose Garden of number 10 between Cameron and Clegg, totally contrived and totally false, just big show put on by a pair of conniving con artists. Laughably, not one of the supposed experienced "old hacks" sitting in the rose garden on that warm early summer's sunny day last May, had a clue that they were being conned.  (Last May, now seems a million light years away!) There the jovial old hacks sat lapping it all up, then returning to their offices to write effusive and gushing reports for their papers. Pity these journalists allowed their better judgements to be clouded by Cameron and Clegg, who are fast becoming known as a pair of "political conmen". Question is why with all their supposed political nous and journalistic savvy, did they not see or smell the huge stinking rat that was dangling down in front of their eyes and noses, hanging there right in the middle of that scented fragrant place? Some of us did though, some of us spotted the stench of arrogance and the inherent falseness of Clegg in the first leadership debate, when all the said journalists were all fawning over him. Anyone would think from the way some of these journalists and news presenters were behaving that Clegg was the "2nd Coming"  but he isn't, "he is not the Messiah he is a very naughty boy"!

When Cameron did not win the election outright, he went shopping and bought the necessary number of Liberal Democrat MPs, not only to give him a majority, but to try and ensure that he gets a full "fixed-term" in parliament. It now seems that the number of MPs were on pre-order to Cameron promised by Nick Clegg, all carefully selected, not for their talents, but for their naivety and political gullibility, all Cameron had to do was honour his part of the deal and the coalition would be born. Making the so-called "five days to power" just another big lie, in a series of big and bigger and bigger still lies, and yet another big con from Cameron, Clegg and Osborne.  When Mr Brown  said that the Liberal Democrats were not serious about forming a coalition with Labour, he was right, he knew that Nick Clegg wasn't interested, the deal had been already been struck many, many months before May 2010! No wonder Nick Clegg said he would not work with Gordon Brown, he had already made his mind up not to.

So much for the proponents of the "New Politics"! Ah  new politics, transparency, the new way of doing things and just 6 months into this new government, all that has gone and already the wheels have fallen off the coalition's wagon, the only reason why it has not tipped over is because there are "23 newly purchased Liberal Democrat MPs", complete with ministerial cars and salaries, all enjoying their newly found power to worry about little things like transparency, the truth, and duty to their voters and to the electorate. Neither do they seem to be worried that they have all been used, and are just part of some seedy grubby little plan, to keep Messrs Cameron, Osborne and Clegg in power for as long as possible! Worse still, these Liberal Democrat MPs are not showing any signs of any concern at all that if this monumental gamble with the British economy fails to pay off, then ordinary people, will be losing their businesses, their homes, their jobs, and their children's futures will be ruined. And because of the cuts to benefits now, there will be nothing for the millions put out of work by this merciless fascist type government. Remember that Cameron, Clegg and Osborne, can only do this because they have successfully used and managed people, to turn person against person and convince them that every single person claiming benefit is either "work shy" a "benefit cheat" or a "welfare scrounger" and that the chronically sick and the disabled are not really ill and incapable and disabled, they are just malingerers. People should remember that today's "welfare scrounger" is tomorrow's newly made redundant person, probably made redundant by this "Government Without Mandate".  Perhaps some may like to ponder that as they are forced to pick up litter for their unemployment benefit at a rate of well below the minimum wage, perhaps some of those newly redundant ex-workers forced to pick up litter may even have been sacked road sweepers who are now being forced to carry out their previous occupation for a pittance. Today it is them, however tomorrow it could be you, or your partner/mother/father/sister/brother, or maybe even your grandparents?

During their 2009 conference Liberal Democrat frontbenchers have also been scathing about Cameron's proposed spending cuts, arguing that, while he is targeting subsidised food in Commons canteens, they are proposing cutting the Trident replacement programme.

Nick Clegg is now toeing the party line on Trident, another huge U turn in one of the Liberal Democrat's flagship policies, leaving supporters not knowing what key policy is to be binned off next. Liberal Democrats scathing about spending cuts in 2009, are now in government actually enabling Cameron and Osborne to get them through parliament, when they should be opposing them and stopping them.

Nick Clegg's Lies Continue
The Liberal Democrats under Nick Clegg have reneged upon 3 key policies;

1. Not to raise tuition fees
2. Not to raise VAT
3. Not to threaten the economy by reducing the deficit this year



Read my Lips
"I will not raise tuition fees"
LIAR!

 George Osborne apparently changed Nick Clegg's mind about the deficit by saying that he had seen the figures and it was quite horrific in real life as opposed to spin life. If nick Clegg believed this blatant piece of spin then he would believe anything. But bare in mind please that this is the 2nd complete and utter lie that Clegg has told about why he changed his mind on "deficit reduction", the other lie concerned the BoE's Mervyn King!

Anyway regardless of Clegg and his "pathological lying," either George Osborne is a economically illiterate buffoon, or he is an economically illiterate bare faced liar, or maybe both? We now know that far from being worse than expected, the economic figures for the British economy were in much better shape than the Tories had been telling the country and who are still lying, and still trying to mislead the country about our financial position. In short, not only have the conmen conned 23 Liberal democrat MPs, they have also conned the electorate.
Every set of economic figures showing the fag end of the Labour Government, indicated that they had called all major decisions correctly and despite the lies this government are telling us all, the economy was growing stronger than expected and getting stronger, confidence on the high street was good and unemployment was falling overall and the welfare claimant count was actually falling and the housing market and construction were beginning to pick up and interest rates were low. Since the Tories regained power and began introducing their ideological austerity measures, the economy has began slowing and is now faltering, indicating that cutting this too far, too deep is going to badly damage this country, unemployment is rising (apart from a few part-time jobs) and those claiming benefits has also risen quite sharply. This is on the back of the £6.75 billion cuts that Osborne made in his first budget and BEFORE the real cuts start to bite and the massive hike in VAT comes in, in January 2011.

Nick Clegg must have known all of this, yet he and Vince Cable and Danny Alexander are just blindly stumbling into this and allowing the Tories a free hand at whatever they want to cut and slash next.

 "David Cameron's claims would be funny if they weren't such a shameful attempt to mislead the British people". Danny Alexander 2009

How can Danny Alexander go from saying this, to backing every single cut and policy that the Conservatives want to inflict upon people and consistently backing David Cameron to the hilt in just 8 short months? It makes no sense whatsoever! This to me says that Danny Alexander was either lying then, or is lying now, either way, Alexander is just another lying Liberal Democrat whose word cannot be trusted.
"George Osborne, who had long feared the Tories would struggle to win an overall parliamentary majority, persuaded David Cameron to allow him to form the Tories' own secret coalition negotiating team two weeks before the election.

It was not just two weeks before the election, it was two MONTHS before the election.

David Cameron demanded total secrecy and asked only to be given the barest details for fear that he would blurt it out "unplanned in an interview".
Obviously Cameron knew that if the electorate got a whiff that the Tories and the Lib Dems had already been in talks before the election, then the Lib Dems would lose votes, Gordon Brown would be right "Vote Clegg get Cameron" which is exactly what happened!

This whole thing has been done with astonishing deceit, they had no right to do this and not tell their voters, a great many of whom voted for the Liberal Democrats precisely to keep the Tories out and Nick Clegg knew this perfectly well. Although since Clegg has managed to get himself into a position of power, it is true to say that he has more or less told all the left of his party and the Liberal Democrat left supporting voters not to bother voting for them anymore and that he was quite happy to lose their support.

What Next For "Preacher" Clegg?

We discover now the manifestos of Tory and Liberal Democrat parties were not worth the paper they were printed upon. However, more seriously, as has been pointed out on this blog many times, it also proves that the two parties were knowingly misleading the electorate. Something that Danny Alexander also observed before he decided to take Cameron's shilling and become an "orange Tory"! Not only did both the parties ditch their manifestos with complete "gay abandon", but they also produced a "Coalition paper" which many of the major policy proposals were also ditched, and of course it now transpires that the authors of the "coalition paper" must also have known that the policy proposals it contained were worthless. Cameron, Clegg and Osborne (like so many conmen before them) had tricked Liberal democrat MPs into providing them with political "insurance" and drunk on this new found heady power, these three men set about using the deficit to first scare people (ie with totally laughable comparisons to Greece etc), they actively lied to the British people, totally misleading them about the brevity of the economy, having successfully blamed the state of the global economy and the global banking crash on Gordon Brown, they set about the most ruthless round of spending cuts since the last world war, not doing so for economical reasons, but for ideological reasons, also deciding to play politics with people's lives and the futures of every single child in this country. This Government have chosen to take a colossal gamble with this country's economy, like nothing in history before it! There simply is not a precedent where this has been done anywhere else in the world, and economists and other world leaders, are now looking upon the UK with abject horror at what is beginning to unfold. And NOWHERE in the Tory or Liberal Democrat manifestos did it mention this and NOWHERE did it even mention this gamble in the coalition paper.
Only two other countries where anything remotely like this has been attempted is Eire and Canada. Ireland speaks for itself, economists warned that their austerity measures would tip the country back into a double dip recession and this is exactly what has happened, and Canada can not be used as some kind of economical barometer for the UK, as Osborne has tried to do, because when Canada held their "Star Chamber" round of cuts and austerity measures, Canada was NOT in recession and it had established strong growth, which is the opposite of the UK and Canada has a very strong manufacturing and export market, again the UK does not (thanks to Margaret Thatcher).

The party that so assiduously courted student voters and made a song and dance about the need for "principles" in politics, caved to the Conservatives at the very first whiff of power. Nick Clegg has single handed done much to turn people off the idea of PR or even AV voting system, it really does beg the question, whether he was ever fully committed to those pledges too? Or is Nick Clegg, really a "true blue" Tory, disguised as an orange Tory infiltrator?

Tuition Fees - Over 50.000 Students Demonstrate As Student March Turns To Riots In London

As Demonstrations Get Bigger and More Angry
The Press and media Will be Unable
To Toe The Tory party Line and
Black them out and Not Report on Them

 

Student tuition fee protest turns violent as Tory headquarters evacuated

A demonstration against tuition fees by tens of thousands of students and lecturers descended into violence today when a group of protesters smashed their way into the headquarters of the Conservative party.

The coalition government of Tories and Liberal Democrats name David Cameron, Nick Clegg and George Osborne are NOT LISTENING.

Now London Mayor Boris Johnson who last month forecast this would be a "blood bath" refuses to say if he agrees with the rise in tuition fees.

How embarrassing is this for David Cameron, George Osborne and Vince Cable in China? Images of this riot in London are being beamed all around the world.

Bizarrely, the police protected the Liberal Democrat head office but NOT  Milbank Tower where the Tories have their head office. Did they not think that people were as equally angry with the Tories as they are the Liberal Democrats?

Thousands of protesters stormed Milbank Tower after smashing through the windows chanting "die Tory scum".

 

Demonstrations turn ugly against the Conservatives!

 

The scale of the London protest defied expectations, with an estimated 50,000 turning out to vent their anger at government plans to raise tuition fees while cutting the state grant for university teaching.

This is what you get for telling lies, Nick Clegg and every Liberal Democrat signed a pledge not to put up tuition fees and at the very first whiff of power, Nick Clegg reneged on his promise and so did all the majority of all the other Liberal Democrats who publicly signed that pledge.

Link To Video of Student Riots

Students say they are not only protesting against the rise in tuition fees, they are also protesting against the cuts for the elderly, the young, the sick, the disabled and the unemployed.

This is just the beginning, although I do have to point out that when 10.000 people descended on Birmingham in protest timed for the first day of the Tory party conference, the press and TV news channels ignored it and they ignored it because there was no riots or violence.

Over the coming months there will be mass demonstrations and civil disobedience and disorder as the cuts take a hold.

This is not the unpleasant face of what it means to live in Britain today, Britain who has a fascist dictatorship for a government, made up out of Tory and Liberal Democrat MPs.

A millionaire government who  is seeking to bully and intimidate the British people, a millionaire Tory government who are seeking to bully and intimidate the British people into submission.

In Britain today we have David Cameron leading a government that is seeking to oppress the people, well they will not be allowed to get away with this, the people are now revolting.

"The Days of Thatcher are back, we have the Cuts and now we have the the riots"

The politicians are not listening!

The Coalition Is Not A Government - It's A Fascist Dictatorship!

Iain Duncan Smith
Right Wing Tory Responsible For welfare Cuts.
There is an undercurrent
of deep seated anger in this country
and the Tories and
Liberal Democrats are ignoring it.

What is happening in Britain? The other day we had Tory and Lib Dem MPs reporting with absolute glee that the unemployed were going to be forced to carry out "voluntary" work for at least 30 hours per week, if they refused, then their unemployment benefit would be either reduced or stopped.
Why is David Cameron, George Osborne, Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander et al treating the unemployed worse than convicted criminals?

When we had the Comprehensive Spending Review, we were treated to Tory and Lib Dem MPs slapping the back of chancellor George Osborne when he sat down and Tory and Lib Dem backbenchers were all cheering and whooping with joy and waving their order papers about, the fact that their chancellor had just announced that 500.000 public sector workers would lose their job with the distinct possibility that 500.000 more private sector workers would lose their jobs as a result of public sector cutbacks, and they cheered this?

This government has gone on and on cutting away, using the deficit as an excuse for their ideologically based cuts. The cuts are deep and they are permanent and what we lose now we will never ever get back, not by this Tory coalition government anyway, the Tories do not want a welfare state, they do not want an NHS, they do not want to look after our young, elderly, disabled, sick or unemployed. They do not care that the poorest in our society did NOT cause this deficit, they are just c going to make them pay anyway, simply because they are a soft target and cannot fight back.

The Tories are going to turn our society into another generations of Thatcher's "blow you Jack's I'm alright", it took us and the Labour government from 1997 to 2010 to try and correct some of the ills that the Tories caused in their 19 years of government and now we are all witnessing that they are pulling every good thing that the Labour government did apart, simply because it was done by a Labour government. The NHS was terminal and education a third world joke. Our elderly were freezing to death from hypothermia in their own homes and the Tories answer to this was to run national advertisements on TV advising the elderly to were layers of clothes and to wear a woolly hat, even in bed and to also take a flask containing a hot drink to bed with them. The dangers from this were clear, yet this is how previous Tory governments have treated the elderly in this country and they obviously have not learned the lessons because the Tories and now the Liberal Democrats think they can treat people and do what they like, well they cannot and people are angry.

The government are voted in to govern, they have absolutely no right at all to treat people like this, how dare they?

This is yet another in a long line of policy proposals that have not been thought through properly, just like tuition fees, housing benefit and child benefit.

Who is going to administrate this when this government are getting rid of public sector workers whose job it is to manage the benefits system?
If people are forced to work, how will they find to to look for a proper job?
If people work 30 hours per week for the government for £65, this is not just illegal it is slave labour, it is little more that £2.00 an hour which is less than the minimum wage and that is illegal and should be able to be challenged in the courts.
How can this be called voluntary work, when people will be forced to do it?
Who is going to oversee these workers?
If these people had children and their JSA gets stopped, who is going to  maintain the children? Keep them fed, warm and clothed?
Workers can literally be put out of their job and when they go and sign on they could be sent back to their old job and forced to do it for slave labour wages.
If they are going to force people to do this work or risk losing 3 months unemployment benefit, then the government MUST pay them the minimum wage and also in other countries where this scheme has been used for years, it has been proven that it does not improve any chances of long term  work, in fact it has proved pointless and humiliating for those in genuine search of work.

It comes to something when our government are trying to incriminate people for being unemployed, when in many case now and in the future it is this government who have actually put people out of work!

There is an undercurrent of deep seated anger in this country and the Tories and Liberal Democrats are ignoring it.

How Much Longer is David Cameron Going to Hang On To Andy Coulson? And More To The Point - WHY?

Andy Coulson
A Liar On Borrowed Time?
Is he Unfit To Hold High Office?

The Wheels Are Coming Off The Cameron and Coulson Wagon!
Andy Coulson has become the story, surely it is time for him to go? How long can a Director of Communications (Cameron's spin doctor) survive when he is in fact the story?
Where is David Cameron's judgement? Or is Cameron too scared of Rupert Murdoch to get rid of Coulson from his team?
Has there been some kind of  deal done? There are people stating on record that Andy Coulson actually lied to the police, that he knew of all the phone hacking that was going on, in fact he encouraged it. So why isn't Coulson at least suspended until this matter is cleared up?

It has emerged that last Thursday Andy Coulson was question by police at his solicitor's office, he was not under caution, was not arrested, yet this is the man that has been accused of lying to the police and to the government and to the british people.

Today Paul McMullan Told Sky News:

“It seems there is one rule for Andy Coulson, who has got David Cameron standing next to him, and another rule for the journalists who are being thrown to the wolves.”

Mr McMullan told Sky News: “I think there is now such a weight of numbers of people who have experienced what happened first-hand that it is going to be very hard to ignore, which is why I am perplexed that Andy Coulson keeps making absolute denials about absolutely everything.
“Surely the best course would be to say ‘Some of my investigative journalists hacked into people’s phones because that is the best way to get a story, a decent investigation in the public interest about matters of corruption’.
“Why is he turning his back on us when he should be standing up for journalism and journalists?”
Mr McMullan added: “I initially stood up for the principle of hacking into people’s phones if it is in the public interest and I expected someone like my former boss, Andy Coulson, to back me up on that.

“I have now got a letter from the Metropolitan Police asking me to come in under caution and yet they have invited him [Andy Coulson] in as a witness.”

He said: “Since this first broke, lots of my former colleagues have rung me up and we have spoken about it and I think I have counted 13 people who have either said ‘Yes, I transcribed celebrities’ messages and gave them to Andy’ or ‘I specifically hacked into a politician who we may have thought was being corrupt on his direct say-so’.”
Mr McMullan confirmed he had now submitted written evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, saying: “The parliamentary committee investigating this has asked for my submission, which I emailed them yesterday.
“Do I have to lie to them or is it not time to say the truth, which is that, yes, I hacked into people’s phones, which is just one small tool
in an armoury of tools that an investigative journalist will use?”

Coulson resigned from the News of the World, if he had not resigned he would have had to be sacked. Wonder did Murdoch say to him? "you resign and I'll get you a top job with David Cameron"? Less than six months after Andy Coulson resigned as editor from Murdoch's News of the World, David Cameron, then in opposition, hired him as his spin doctor in chief, surprising many!

When Cameron was in opposition he once said of Gordon Brown

"I do not know what Gordon Brown knew and when he knew it but what I do know is that he hired these people, he sets the culture, he is the leader and we need change in order to change the culture."

Now David Cameron is prime minister, he may want to reflect upon his own words, if he doesn't, they may well come back to haunt him!
Something Shady Going On With the Prime Minister, Andy Coulson, Rupert Murdoch, The Metropolitan police, Andy Hayman and  the phone hacking scandal that just will not go away. If it can ever be proved that David Cameron benefited from the phone hacking exploits of the News of the World and Andy Coulson knew of it, then this is serious, very serious indeed for David Cameron.
David Cameron needs to "get real" if he thinks for one single minute that people do not realise that something a wee bit "shady" is happening here. Not least because we now have Metropolitan Police Commissioner John Yeats, investigating the Metropolitan police, so in effect Yeats is investigating himself!  How can this possibly be allowed to happen? Is this the British police or some kind of fascist police state?  The Metropolitan police are under parliamentary scrutiny for their role in the original investigation where a reporter for the News of the World was actually jailed for phone hacking and Andy Hayman the former Metropolitan Assistant Commissioner  carried out the investigation of that very case who now works for Rupert Murdoch's News International at the Times, and  it gets worse, the former editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, now works for the British Prime Minister and whose £140,000 taxpayer-funded salary is notably higher than that of every cabinet member except the Prime Minister.  Rupert Murdoch is actually the common denominator of it all! Remember that Murdoch was the first guest of David Cameron at Downing street just 24 hours after Cameron became prime minister, when he (Murdoch) entered and left by the rear door to number 10 and since that time Murdoch has revisited the prime minister and there has been dialogue between the Prime Minister's team and Murdoch's team - why?

Andy Coulson has been accused of lying by his former reporters, if this is proved then the prime minister has employed a phone hacking liar, who has lied to the British people and lied to the Commons culture, media and sport select committee, and lied to the police, how can David Cameron allow this man to stay in his job being paid by the British people, when they are losing their jobs as a direct consequence of this government's actions?

"Coulson was asked by the Commons culture, media and sport select committee in July 2009: "Just to be clear, under your tenure . . . the NotW did not pay people to obtain information illegally?" He replied: "Yes, that is right." But it now seems that his ex-colleagues disagree. "Former reporters said both the news and features desks employed their own investigators to uncover medical records, unlisted addresses, phone bills and so on," claimed a 6,000-word investigation in the New York Times on 5 September."

Strangely former Lambeth Police Commander, Liberal Democrat and former mayoral candidate Brian Paddick, who has been very vocal about suspecting that his phone had been hacked and along with Labour MP Chris Bryant asked for an investigation, seems to have suddenly gone all coy and reticent since he was informed recently that he is to be given a Peerage! Lord Brian Paddick ( you couldn't make this kind of cronyism up, and they said Blair was bad!) Brian Paddick once left this message on his voicemail ["This is Brian Paddick . . . Please do not leave a message as you have no idea who might listen to it," ]
Many other public figures have also suspected their phones to have been hacked among them John Prescott, this is a serious situation, one the prime minister is either not taking seriously or is terrified about what will happen if he is forced to get rid of Andy Coulson.

Rupert Murdoch's News International owns the Times and the News of the World and Murdoch is trying to become the sole owner of BSkyB, which would see him controlling over a third of the UK's media!

The Liberal Democrats Want Honesty in Politics? Yeah They Can Walk On Water Too (Apparently!)

Everywhere There is an election There seems to be a Liberal democrat Dirty Tricks Campaign! And Elwyn Watkins of Oldham and Saddleworth complains about diry tricks? The Whole Liberal Democrat party is full of dirty tricksters it seems, and yet NOTHING hs ever been done about it!

Some Examples of What Liberal Democrats will say and do in order to win *YOUR* vote!

LIBERAL DEMOCRAT DIRTY TRICKS ONE

Dirty tricks of the REAL nasty party
One parliamentary Lib Dem candidate, Serena Tierney, claimed that Tories in Mid-Sussex have been thrown into turmoil owing to a spate of resignations by Tory councillors.
‘What are they afraid of?’ asks Tierney in her campaign literature. ‘How many more Tories will quietly slip away from this sinking ship?’
But Ms Tierney’s insinuation that a collapse of morale is behind the five resignations is very misleading.

1. One Conservative councillor in Mid Sussex, Brenda Binge, died earlier this year.
2. Another has resigned to look after her husband, who has advanced Parkinson’s disease.
3. A third has moved away A
4. A fourth is going to live and work in Scotland.
5. The final resignation is down to ill-health.

And yet Ms Tierney’s wretched remarks are to be found at the bottom of a column for her supporters headlined ‘Bringing Honesty Back to Politics’.

Liberal Democrat DIRTY TRICKS TWO:

Dirty Tricks in Richmond.

In the highly marginal seat of Richmond Park in south London (went to Zac Goldsmith - Tory) Goldsmith said "Kramer has told the most appalling lies about me and is intent on misrepresenting my position on almost every issue."
Also a Liberal Democrat tried to join Goldsmith's campaign team, a fact that was never disputed by Kramer.
Read the full and interesting story, this Lib Dem activist also tried to make false claims about labour.

Liberal Democrat Dirty Tricks Five:

Duplicity in Camden.

Lib Dems in Camden have been caught out sending out contradictory messages to appeal to different communities within the same borough.

Alongside a picture of herself with Muslim community leaders, Jo Shaw - Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for Holborn & St Pancras - makes clear in a local leaflet distributed to Muslim areas within her constituency that she is calling on the government to "stop arming Israel".

However, travel one mile Up the road to Hampstead.

"There", such themes can be said to be far from evident in the leaflets - complete with Hebrew text - distributed in the Jewish community of the Hampstead & Kilburn constituency by the campaign of fellow Lib Dem parliamentary candidate Ed Fordham.

Liberal Democrat Dirty Tricks Six:

Liverpool Liberal Democrats Smears Greens and Labour

Liverpool Lib Dems have been caught out propagating completely unfounded allegations about the views of their Green Party rivals over a local regeneration project.
An edition of the Lib Dem's local Focus newsletter about the restoration of a landmark gardens site alleged that Green councillors "called for the plans to be scrapped" and instead "want to build a completely undeliverable eco-village".
As ever, no quote or reference is given by the Lib Dems to back up their claims.

Liberal Democrats Dirty Tricks Seven

Senior Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne Accused of Nazi slur over "skinhead" William Hague.

(I wonder how these two are getting along these days?)

"According to the Evening Standard, in his keynote speech to his party's annual conference, Mr Huhne was intending to brand Mr Hague a "skinhead who has toured the beer cellars of central Europe".
At the simplest level, calling a bald man a skinhead is crass and unfair. But in invoking that far-right imagery and in referring to the known preferred venues for Adolf Hitler's political meetings, Mr Huhne's more sinister attempted analogy was clear.
However, this wasn't the first time Chris Huhne has found himself in trouble over the propagation of personal smears against his political opponents.

During the 2007 Lib Dem leadership battle to replace Sir Menzies Campbell, a document circulated by Huhne's campaign was revealed to have labelled his chief rival, Nick Clegg, "Calamity Clegg".
The document set out a series of quotations aimed at showing Mr Clegg's policy "flip-flops".

Nasty Lib Dems

Ex-Labour Minister 'Phil Woolas' Loses His seat Because A 'Poor Loser' Lib Dem Cries Foul!

Oldham East and Saddleworth MP and former Immigration minister Phil Woolas, has been stripped of his seat by a judge and suspended from the Labour Party. This is the first time this has happened for a century. A judge found that the former minister was guilty of stirring up "racial tensions" and knowingly making false statements about an opponent.

This whole thing is more than a little disturbing, not just because apparently Phil Woolas is guilty, but because on a number of points the entire case can be viewed as total hypocrisy from the Liberal Democrats. Everyone who follows politics know that the Liberal Democrats traditionally use lies and dirty tricks to win elections, whether they are parish elections, council elections, by-elections or general elections and they have been very successful at it too.

Simon Hughes -Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader

Hughes was first elected to Parliament in the Bermondsey by-election in 1983. The by-election was described by Gay News as "the dirtiest and most notorious by-election in British political history" because of the slurs against the character of the Labour candidate Gay Rights Campaigner, Peter Tatchell. The Liberal Democrat Campaign leaflet described the election as "a straight choice" between Simon Hughes and the Labour candidate, a standard campaigning slogan. Hughes won the seat with 57.7% of the vote. He apologised for the campaign in 2006, during the same few days revealing his own homosexual experiences, and confirming that he is bisexual after being outed by the "Scum" newspaper.
Mr Hughes has since said of that campaign "I hope that there will never be that sort of campaign again. I have never been comfortable about the whole of that campaign, as Peter knows, and I said that to him in the past ... Where there were things that were inappropriate or wrong, I apologise for that."


The the Tory "bible", the Daily Mail, has gone completely over the top today with their front page. However, the hypocrisy of the Mail is palpable, if Phil Woolas is guilty, then so is the Mail and so is other right wing papers guilty of scaremongering, lying and creating racial tensions, the Mail's hypocrisy is absolutely staggering! The Mail, Express and Sun are so xenophobic they are a complete joke to anyone with half a brain cell. The Sun is run by a Rupert Murdoch clone, incapable of individual thinking, they think what they are told to think and print what they are told to print and they support which party they are told to support by Rupert Murdoch and his son James, who are both foreigners in this country, yet dictate to our government what policy should be, Rupert Murdoch is the unacceptable face of unelected right wing dictators.

Phil Woolas should have been reprimanded and fined, but even that would have been in direct contrast to what has happened in other constituencies, where both the Liberal Democrats and the Tories have told outrageous lies about each other and the Labour party in order to get into parliament or the council. There is a huge disparity here, has justice been done? Has justice seen to be done? Personally, I think this judge has opened a huge can of worms and the Liberal democrat candidate, Elwyn Watkins who brought his action against Phil Woolas may just live to rue the day he could not be a gracious loser. Also I would like to know if the David Cameron and Nick Clegg were behind Watkins in bringing this action against Phil Woolas. Call me cynical, but after the appalling lies and deceit that the prime minister David Cameron and Deputy PM Clegg have been practicing, I would not be at all surprised to discover that they have had a hand in this, when they were drunk on power and so "full of their own piss and importance" in the early days of the coalition, when they thought that they both walked on water, if so, I think they had both better get their life jackets on if this election is re-run. Political honeymoon? More like the honeymoon from hell!

How could Nick Clegg say this yesterday in hearing the Woolas verdict?

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg welcomed the judgment as a victory for ‘common sense’ and ‘clean politics’.

Nick Clegg Liberal Democrat Leader 
and Deputy PM
With his LYING Pledge
Proof that He LIED Through His Back Teeth
To gain the Student Vote!
HYPOCRITE!

Is that so Mr Clegg? Then what do you have to say about your "signed pledge" to every student in this country? The pledge you LIED about and just broke, where you said that the Liberal Democrats "Would NOT raise student tuition fees"? What a duplicitous, disingenuous LYING hypocrite.
What do you have to say to your constituents of Sheffield Hallam concerning Sheffield Forgemasters? What do you have to say about your pledge NOT to raise VAT, then back Tory plans to massive hike VAT?
Liberal Democrats fight dirty and they lie all the time.

Should judges decide who wins elections?

Since "Call me Dave" Cameron was *not* swept to power in the notoriously *undecided* general election of May 2010, where the Conservatives despite having everything under "the Sun"  going for them, failed to win an overall majority. The Liberal Democrats actually losing seats and coming a pretty poor third, yet still find themselves in government prostituting themselves for power, despite all this, the coalition government was formed and Cameron Clegg and Osborne have been busily gerrymandering parliament, gerrymandering constituency boundaries and changing the amount of MPs votes needed to bring about a "vote of no confidence" in the government, just to keep themselves in government and their plush ministerial houses and luxury ministerial cars, while they unleashed unsustainable cuts upon the vast majority of people in this country.

Not only are the people of this country now having their rights eroded by a bunch of millionaire toffs in government, in what is a profoundly undemocratic way, we have judges sticking their noses in where they are not wanted. Judges of all people who never seem to get sentencing right, who sentence people indiscriminately for minor offences, yet allow paedophiles, rapists and murderers to walk away free, hardly fills one with confidence does it?
The Judiciary in this country traditionally white male Conservative dominated, now passing sentences on the political machinations. fills me with horror. From what I have read of Woolas campaign, there is nothing there that could not have been dealt with, with some kind of warning, a fine and an open apology.
I smell "compassionate Conservatism and illiberal Liberalism" at work here and I profoundly hope that it sensationally backfires on both the despicable lying hypocritical  parties of the Tories and Liberal Democrats.

If Phil Woolas is to be stripped of his position, then so too should Nick Clegg for:

• Openly LYING to the electorate for their votes and then just days later reneging on every single Liberal Democrat promise.
• For LYING to students to gain their vote.
• For allowing his own MPs and candidates to run dirty election campaigns!
• For being a total hypocritical LIAR.
• For saying one thing and doing the exact opposite
• For prostituting himself for power

If Phil Woolas is to be stripped of his position, then so too should David Cameron and George Osborne who have;

• Openly lied about and slandered Gordon Brown.
• Entered into shady and dodgy deals with newspaper editors and barons with the sole intention of personally destroying Gordon Brown and the Labour party with a programme of disinformation.
• Told complete LIES about the British economy
• Knowingly made false statements about the British economy for political gain.
• For comparing the UK to Greece KNOWING the UK is NOTHING like Greece.
• For saying they would not make swingeing cuts, then embarking on swingeing cuts using LIES as justification.
• For saying the NHS was safe in Tory hands when all along they had already devised plans to dismantle it and privatise huge chunks of it.
• For LYING and saying Child Benefit was "safe" when they KNEW it wasn't.
• For LYING about council houses and housing benefit and now intend to make over a 100.000 people homeless.
• Made the rest of the world think Britain was broken when it isn't, just for political gain
• For lying to soldiers
• For totally misrepresenting the state of the military for political reasons while our soldiers are fighting wars.
• For using LIES as an excuse to attack the weak, sick, vulnerable, disabled, young, elderly, poor and unemployed, while all along Cameron and Osborne planned this.
• For using the deficit as an excuse to implement all the Tory dogma and ideological cuts.

I say let Phil Woolas stand again and let the election be re-run and let the people of  Oldham East and Saddleworth decide who they want to represent them, this is one for the people, it is *NOT* for "Conservative" leaning judges!

Nick Clegg will come to rue the day that his sore loser Liberal democrat candidate Elwyn Watkins, just did not accept his defeat graciously and so may Elwyn Watkins!

More Duplicitous Politics From The Coalition Over Murdoch's Proposed Take-Over of BSkyB

Anyone Waiting For Cable to refuse Rupert Murdoch
Had Better Not Hold Their Breath!

So the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, has ordered Ofcom to investigate News Corporation's plan to take full control of broadcaster BSkyB. "Whoopydoo". I am not sure whether to laugh with wry amusement at this news, or cry with frustration of the duplicity of it all.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has said it wants to buy the 61% of BSkyB it does not own.
The inquiry will look into "media plurality" - the degree to which news outlets are concentrated under one organisation's ownership.

Liberal Democrats really love the "plurality" of their own arguments, (many faceted ways to fool the public).

Is Rupert Murdoch Too Powerful Already?

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp owns News International, already owns the Sun, News of the World, Times and Sunday Times, accounting for a third of the UK's newspaper circulation and  BSkyB has almost 10 million customers.
If Murdoch is allowed to go ahead with this take-over, then he is going to be well on the way to controlling the UK's entire media outlet and it will *not* stop there!
Rupert Murdoch is under the impression that his plans will be cleared!
Wonder why is he so confident of the outcome? Could this  referral to "Ofcom" be a smokescreen? Deliberately set in place to allow Vince Cable and the Tory Coalition government to hide behind?

It is a certainty that  if this take-over is permitted it will adversely affect media plurality in the UK. If it happens, Murdoch will own a huge chunk of the media from which he will be able to fairly much control the news agenda. For proof, look no further than what has happened in the United States regarding the success of so-called "Tea Party" candidates, in their mid-term elections.   Murdoch looks to have taken the same kind of tactics that the Sun, News of the World, the Times, Sunday Times and Sky News used to personally attack the then prime minister Gordon Brown, and in much the same way attacked President Obama. Murdoch is a dangerous right wing fascist and he is out of control and becoming way too powerful and if various governments do not rein him in, then the war mongering megalomaniac is going to cause horrendous trouble and especially between the UK and the US. The truth is that Rupert Murdoch does not like left wing governments, he does not like centrist governments, and wherever he can, he will attack them and bring them down.

Why is Murdoch allowed to urge all these governments of different countries to do different things and wield so much power when he is entirely unelected?


The British National Health Service

Is it a strange coincidence the Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan, was allowed copious amounts of air time to appear on Murdoch's Fox News in the US? From this power base, he pretty much destroyed President Obama's attempts to give America  their own healthcare/medicare system along the lines of the British NHS. He did this by ridiculing our NHS and using untrue scare tactics.  Hannan has told bare faced lies and purposefully misrepresented the health service, using innuendo and examples of the NHS from when his own Tory government were last in power prior 1997!  Using a programme of disinformation Hannan has gradually turned the American people against having a caring healthcare system that cares for ALL people, and not just those able to buy expensive health cover.
Question is, why was Daniel Hannan, (a close friend of David Cameron's) given the air time in America to interfere in their domestic politics by lying bare faced about our own? What is he even doing there appearing on their TV using our NHS in such a fashion?  David Cameron was still in Opposition then, but at the same time Rupert Murdoch was doing a number on Gordon Brown and the Labour Government back in the UK. Rupert Murdoch and Daniel Hannan could have possibly been briefed of plans that Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne had for the British NHS. If they were not then this has got to be one huge coincidence. Which of course means the plans that Cameron and Osborne had for reducing the size of the NHS and part privatising it were always intended, regardless of the deficit, the denationalising and dismantling of the NHS is being done for purely for Conservative ideological, but this is not all. There are friends of Cameron and Osborne who stand to gain billions of pounds from lucrative contracts from the privatisation of the NHS and there are also American helthcare companies circling the NHS, ready to swoop down on all the lucrative parts as soon as the Conservatives give the go ahead. It is crystal clear why Murdoch did not want Obama to be successful with this policy.
Does Rupert Murdoch Have a Hold Over David Cameron?

Prime Minister David Cameron already has some very serious questions to answer regarding Rupert Murdoch and Andy Coulson and the News of the World. The story of Andy Coulson and the phone hacking has not gone away and will erupt spectacularly sooner or later. Cameron should have sacked Coulson long ago. In a normal news environment, newspapers like the Sun, Times and Sunday Times, would have been all over a story like this storylike the proverbial rash, however, the story becomes conspicuous by its lack of prominence on their pages.
Rupert Murdoch visited David Cameron in Downing Street within the first 24 hours of Cameron taking up office there, he entered and left by the rear door and he has visited personally a couple of times since. Considering that Cameron has only been in office for barely 6 months, for Murdoch to have visited so many times seems odd and it becomes stranger when we know that besides Murdoch having all of this personal contact with Cameron, Murdoch's staff and Cameron's staff have also met. Number 10 categorically refuse to say what topics have been discussed, and Cameron's staff have recently said that in future they will not be giving details of Murdoch's visits, so  much for Cameron's "transparent new politics" because apparently we certainly are not "all in this together". The fun will start here if Murdoch's proposed take-over of BSKyB is stopped, Murdoch will get mightily hacked off and will probably turn on Cameron and his Tories because he will see it as though they are going back on a "deal".
Murdoch has a hold over Cameron, anytime he likes he can let it slip that a private off the record deal was done between them and promises made, for the later cooperation of a future Tory government in the BSkyB take-over, only it did not quite work like this because despite the appalling person vendetta against Brown and Labour, Cameron still could not command an overall majority and he did not win the election. The take-over of BSkyB is not the only channel Murdoch has his eye on, he has his eyes firmly on the BBC too!


 Fears Over BBC!

In August 2009, Rupert  Murdoch's son James Murdoch the chairman of the media giant in Europe said  that a "dominant" BBC threatens independent journalism in the UK, as he attacked the then Labour government" he also blamed the then Labour government for regulating the media "with relish".  If James Murdoch stopped to put his brain in gear occasionally he may see the duplicity of his own words!
"The expansion of state-sponsored journalism is a threat to the plurality and independence of news provision," James Murdoch told the Edinburgh Television Festival.
The scope of the BBC's activities and ambitions was "chilling", he added. 
"The BBC is dominant," Mr Murdoch said. "Other organisations might rise and fall but the BBC's income is guaranteed and growing."

How strange is it then, that the Tory chancellor George Osborne has now frozen the BBC's licence fee for the next six years? This is putting great strain on the BBC and it could force the part privatisation of it and who will be straight in to buy shares at rock bottom prices?

Britain could lose the BBC over the coming years as the Tory Coalition government caves into to pressure and fulfills obligations to Murdoch?

We will discover if Murdoch and News Corp is to be allowed to purchase BSkyB on December 8th 2010, if anyone is expecting Vince Cable to stand up to Murdoch and refuse the take-over, I hope they are not holding their breath. This government is going to allow this take-over, because they are far too frightened of the prospects if they do not and if Murdoch does take over BSkyB, then the BBC is going to be in great peril too.

The BBC needs to stop pussyfooting around Cameron and start to report this government for exactly what it is, if it doesn't then they will begin to be swallowed up by the Murdoch Empire too!

Why does Murdoch want to control the news all over the world? This is of course why he hates France and Germany and the EU so much, because they called his number long ago and have he measure of him.

If Cameron does grow a pair of balls and refuse, expect the Sun, News of the World, the Times and Sunday Times as well as Sky News, to throw their weight behind UKIP.
