... 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.

This week I will mostly be...
... re-arranging deckchairs as the good ship Britain crashes on the rocks of economic and political misery.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.

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.
