60 Days to Save West Africa? Bollocks!
In response to:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/ebola-outbreak-sixty-days-to-save-west-africa-9824352.html
60 Days to Save West Africa?
Hahahaha. Thats a headline grabbing soundbite in exactly the same vein as "100 days to save the NHS".
This is scaremongering in order to introduce feelings of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
Typical NGOs wanting to maintain their "donation supply".
Ebola will run its course. Get over it. People die. Sometimes at age 101, sometimes at 25. Welcome to the harsh reality of life.
Move along. Nothing to see here other than a bunch of do-gooders raising their profile in order to top up their personal pension pots.
On Libertarianism and accusations of selfishness.
Libertarianism is not selfish. It promotes meritocracy without being told what to do by others with a vested interest.
Liberty scares most people as it forces them to be responsible for their own actions without the safety net of a nanny figure.
Socialism rewards failure. It allows an individuals', socially detrimental decisions to go unpunished and forces other members of society to pay for the choices and mistakes of the feckless.
Libertarianism is about choice. Sit on your backside and starve or get busy and get a roof over your head.
There is a need for socialists and their modernday, centre-ground, namesakes the "social democrats" to indulge in creating an entitlement culture amongst those that choose not to achieve their potential.
Not everyone can be millionaires. However, the current incumbents of governments and legislation makers are doing their damnedest to remove the incentives needed to innovate, create and construct wealth.
Eventually, if you follow their policies to the end, everyone will be on a minimum wage job. As legislation pushes it ever higher, eventually it will surpass the reward for doing something more skillful than a job requiring only the ability to get out of bed and tie ones shoelaces.
LibLabCon is just a big socialist experiment and we need Libertarianism to stop the rot before we all succumb to being the lowest common denominator.

Who do you think you are kidding Mrs Merkel?
Who do you think you are kidding Mrs Merkel?
If you think we're on the run...
The Greeks are the boys that will stop your little game!
The Greeks are the boys that will never pay again!
'Cause, who do you think you are kidding Mrs Merkel
If you think the Euro won!
Mr Stav feeds goats and sheep on mountains in the sun,
But he comes home each evening and he's ready with his gun!
Who do you think you are kidding Mrs Merkel
If you think that freedom's done.

EU Resignation. Fucking us and fucking each other too apparently.
As grabbed from http://pastebin.com/UDSZreUU
Translation follows...
Cher Secrétaire général,
Cher Freddy,
Voilà, j'ai pris la décision de démissionner du PE car j'ai appris de drôles de choses sur vous. En effet, il paraît que vous (Klaus) forniquez avec Freddy et que de plus, vous bouffez les chattes de Worum, Andrades et Casalprim. Si ce n'est pas une honte, ça ? Ces femmes ont des postes intéressants alors que quand on passe un concours, on reste bloqué. La petite Andrades est même fonctionnaire alors qu'elle n'a jamais passé un concours. Worum n'a jamais passé un concours et elle est AD et Casalprim, cela fait dix ans qu'elle est au PE (???) Alors, s'il faut sucer la bite du SG pour avoir un poste, c'est vraiment dégueulasse.
Même chose pour la mère F. Ratti, elle a eu un gosse de l'ancien SG Vinci et maintenant elle est SGA.
Alors, bonne rentrée parlementaire après des vacances bien méritées.

Dear Secretary General,
Dear Freddy,
So, I decided to resign from Parliament because I learned some funny things about you. Indeed, it seems you (Klaus) fornicate with Freddy and again, eat your cats to Worum, Andrades and Casalprim. If this is not a shame, right? These women have good jobs so that when we pass a competition, it remains blocked. The small Andrades is the same official as it has never made a competition. Worum has never made a competition and is Caslaprim and AD, it has been ten years it is the EP (???) So, if we suck the cock of the SG for a job, it's really disgusting.
Same thing for the mother F. Ratti, she had a kid from the old SG Vinci and now she is SGA.
So, good return of Parliament after a well deserved holiday.
Ciao

Eat your cats would be better translated as "eating the pussy of"

A year on...
... since I refused to renew my TV "licence".
I haven't paid TV tax for the past 12 months, and I will continue with my refusal.
The BBC is paid for by a tax and by its own commercial activities. Over £3.5 BILLION pounds is handed over to the BBC each year in order for it to pay ridiculous salaries to alleged "talent", for it to send a squad of dozens of "journalists" to cover a ballkicking competition, and for it's glorious leaders to cream off hundreds of thousands of pounds each in salary every year.
The news journos do nothing than regurgitate press releases, the rest of the money is spent on circuses and bread for the braindead viewers.
The BBC hasn't had a penny off me, and it's cost them at least one letter per month, and the basic salary of one of their TV licence goons to knock on my door on at least four occasions.
Take your biased, overpaid, dumbed-down broadcasting and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

German economy 3.6% growth last year.
The German economy grew at 3.6% in 2010. Twice the EU average.
The UK economy, thanks to increases in manufacturing grew 2.5%. There is still a lot of catching up to do in UK to overturn the reduction in growth during 2008/09.
Germany expects that during 2011, China will become the biggest importer of German goods, taking over from the United States. The trend towards the East instead of North America has been apparent since America started to repackage dodgy loans and sell them on as prime investments.
United Kingdom manufacturing is showing a small resurgence. Now is the time to promote exports and cut bureacracy for exporters in order to reduce the trade deficit and bring cash back into the UK.
We need to get money back from the Chinese. We need to sell to them.

Is Wikileaks a black flag operation?
With the ongoing "leaks" of American diplomatic messages by Wikileaks, I got to thinking about why would someone do this.
"Follow the money" is usually my first port of call.
I think Assange has been turned. His previous form in hacking and attempts to circumvent computer security has led me to beelive that he is turning tricks for his former tormentors and accusers. He has experience of manipulating and working with anonymous hacking organisations, that knowledge would be worth a fortune in order to create mayhem.
How useful would it be to have a supposed independent organisation working to propagate propaganda? Get the little people, and the equally small-minded main-stream media into a flap about National Security, and you have further need to address the manufactured problem of spies and secret agents.
Got to give them credit, whoever is pulling the strings at Wikileaks is playing a blinder. Assange has been arrested and denied bail in order to keep him away from other journalists. If he's locked up somewhere safe, nobody can ask him awkward questions. If maintains the veil of secrecy and that, most importantly, "something is being seen to be done" by the powers that be.

Naughty Naughty! Tories telling porkies in parliament.
Tories are being naughty with lies, damn lies and statistics.
Left Foot Forward have been keeping an eye on the numbers being used by the Department for Work and Pensions.
Looks like Ian Duncan-Smith hasn't been entirely truthful when reporting "facts" and figures to parliament.
Thumbs up go to Left Foot Forward for keeping an eye on the new bunch of spinners, liars and charlatans.

Euroland being sold off to the Chinese.
With the continued unwinding of the Euro, bailouts and loans, who is really pulling the strings?
The chief architect of the Euro, Germany is finally getting close to acheiving it's dream of being the Head of Europe.
The Germans and their proxy bank, the ECB have successfully duped most of Europe into joining a common currency. A common currency with cross-border interest rates, monetary supply and control mechanisms.
This "one-size-fits-all" only fits one nation. Germany. The industrial giant of mainland Europe has successfully brought the peripheral countries of Euroland to heel. By keeping interest rates low, the ECB has created housing bubbles throughout Ireland, Italy, Greece, Portugal and Spain. There are a lot of people that have agreed to pay over-inflated amounts for bricks and mortar.
The "little people" of the PIIGS are at the mercy of the ECB and the Germans. Those nations are collapsing. Ireland is being encouraged to rid itself of low business taxes in order to pay of it's debts. This will make it worse for Ireland. Low taxation has made it possible for large corporations to operate profitably out of Ireland for the past 15 years. Those corporations brought jobs and money to a country that had been impoverished by financial incompetencies going back to the Easter independence.
Those in the ECB now want to kill off any chance of the Irish getting themselves out of the mire by penalising their taxation model. The EU wants to bring them in line with everyone else. The EUSSR is going to kill off any chance that the Irish have got, bankrupt them and turn them into paupers. They want Ireland to be kept on the breadline so that it has to constantly return to suckle at the teat of the EUSSR, and to gets it's milk, it's going to have to do whatever it is told to do.
The Euro was doomed from the start. Each nation within Europe has different financial needs. Industrial nations need exports, the southern states need tourism and agriculture to thrive. These are two very different types of economy. The hammer of low europe-wide interest rates worked for the Germans, but has led to rampant borrowing by nations that can now not afford the repayments on their debts.
In steps the Germans and the ECB to bail-them out. How much are the PIIGS going to have to kow-tow to Germany to retain any remains of their sovereignty?
As the German proxy bank steps in to provide assistance, they are creating debts owed by sovereign nations. The ECB has no need to keep hold of this debt, it is far more lucrative to sell it on. Make a proft on the backs of the duped millions throughout Europe. Only one nation has the clout to buy up such large packages.
That nation is China. It has vast cash reserves after convincing the West to buy goods and items that depreciate as soon they are sold. China has been using this income to invest in assets that appreciate in value. Not only does China take money from us from trade but it now owns the mortgages that we and our children and our children's children will be paying off long into the future.
People of Europe! You've been had.

UK should expect another wave of Immigration
Again, there will be another wave of immigration to Britain.
Agian it will come not from afar, but from the Irish Republic. As the Emerald Island goes on the beg to the ECB and possibly to the IMF over the next few months, I expect a flight of Irish to the UK.
The port of Holyhead will be busy over the coming years. I expect many Irish will escape the dire straits of the Eire economy and flee to England in order to find work and to pay off their accumulated debts. Northern Ireland is already being bankrolled by Westminster and will see its mainly public sector workforce feeling the pinch. There is no slack within the Northern jobs market, and the Republicans know this.
Sorry Ireland. You had your chance. You rejected the Lisbon treaty only to be asked to vote until you got the "right" result for the EU masters. You took large EU subsidies and pissed them up the wall in a humungous housing bubble.
Ireland: would you like to leave the Euro and join the pound?

Rolls-Royce pulls engines from A380 production line.
An Airbus spokesman in Singapore has been reported as saying that Rolls has pulled engines from the A380 production line in order to replace problematic engines.
This could make an impact on deliveries to airlines waiting for A380 orders to be completed. Singapore Airlines and Qantas still have outstanding orders with the Airbus Consortium.
Rolls-Royce shares have taken a knock since the Qantas A380 incident that saw an engine break apart during flight on the 4th November.

Qantas A380 Rolls-Royce Engine
Rolls-Royce believe the failure of a Qantas Airbus A380 engine last week is down to a specific component.
A process of inspection will continue on the RR Trent 900 engines, and the relevant module will be replaced as part of an agreed programme.
The share price of the company has fallen since the incident, although only by about 10%. The value of Rolls-Royce as of markets closing last night is still in excess of 11 billion pounds.

iPad v Samsung Galaxy Tab v RIM Blackberry Playbook
The smaller slate form factor should have another device for you to choose in the new year.
Research In Motion, the manufacturers of the Blackberry, have developed a 7" slate format device.
It is considerably smaller than the Apple iPad but at least, along with the Samsung Tab, will be able to fit in a pocket.
The RIM is expected to run Adobe Flash and Shockwave, something that the developers at Apple have refused to include. BBC iplayer and other streaming services such as youtube should not be a problem.
If you can't wait, the Samsung device is the same size as the Playbook and has been available for a while.

Not enough Police at Millbank?
Call Me Dave forgot to give them a payrise as soon as he got into Downing Street. They're expecting austerity measures to cut them too. Why would they want to get into a fight with people that face a similar problem to their own.
Wakey Wakey Dave! The Unionistas were bound to start stirring up trouble as soon as Liebour was out of government. It's in their nature. If they're not holding the reins of power, they'll undermine, sabotage and subvert those that do.
Get the Old Bill onside as soon as you can. You're going to have to bribe them.

G20 still wringing their hands over global economic crisis
The G20 meeting in Seoul has it's share of handwringers.
European Commission President Barosso happily sat on the fence while the Irish economy took another hit. "we have all the essential instruments in place in the European Union and euro zone to act if necessary, but I am not going to make any speculation".
The costs associated with insuring investors against Ireland, Spain and Portual defaulting on its national debts reached new highs yesterday.
Will the ECB, by which I mean the Germans really have to get involved in guiding Lenihan and Co. out of the mire? There has been talk of the ECB having representatives in Dublin, but it's being kept very hush-hush.
Watch out for US investment company Loomis Sayles getting into trouble. They're the ones buying up Irish bonds at the moment.

NUS vs Millbank
Yesterday's damage caused by protesters at Millbank in London reeks of hypocrisy.
When tuition fees were introduced under a Liebour government the NUS did not cause mayhem outside Liebour Party Headquarters.
The leadership of the NUS at the time wouldn't have wanted to jeopardise its career prospects with Liebour.
A bit of research shows that several ex-Presidents have had high flying careers within Liebour.
Jack Straw was president and went onto become Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary, and Lord High Chancellor while in government.
Charles Clarke went on to become Home Secretary.
Trevor Phillips served as chair of the London Assembly.
Phil Woolas has served as a Home Office Minister.
Maeve Sherlock worked as a SpAd for Gordon Brown and is a Liebour Life Peer.
Stephen Twigg rose through the Liebour ranks to become Minister of State for Schools.
Lorna Fitzsimmons was Liebour MP for Rochdale.
Jim Murphy was appointed Secretary of State for Scotland by Gordon Brown.
Mandy Telford is a SpAd to Tessa Jowell.
It would appear that thanks to his management of the march yesterday, the current NUS president, Aaron Porter will have done his career prospects no favours.
