USA SENT SPECIAL TROOPS TO SYRIA


MR ASSAD

My Opinion:  It is an escalation of the situation which is unnecessary. It looks a counteract to the Russian bombing the ‘rebels’ as well as the IS. The ‘rebels’ are supported by the USA and it’s Allies which already is wrong. The USA has no right to interfere in Syria but they had been operating there since 2011.

America and its Allies are determined to bring Mr Assad, the President, of Syria down. According to them he is a dictator but that was said about Afghanistan’s -, Iraq’s –, Iran’s -, Lebanon’s – and Libya’s leaders and these countries were completely destroyed.

Now it seems Syria is on the list. It is surprising that Saudi Arabia is all for Mr Assad to be brought down because he is a ‘dictator’.  The Saudis do not have an exact perfect track record.

US Secretary of State John Kerry was already pushing in 2014 for military intervention with all his might and the world was on the verge of war. The reason was that a chemical bomb was dropped and John Kerry insisted it was Mr Assad’s regime. He also stated constantly, that 1,500 were killed while the Doctors Without Borders who were there stated it was around 500.

=======================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU
======================================================

For days John Kerry kept on and the UK was ready to sent troops into action. In the last minute the Russians intervened and made Mr Assad to hand over all his chemical weapons which were destroyed. Their action put out the fuse and John Kerry vanished from the TV news.

The UN sent a team of experts to investigate. The report was never published and it all died a natural death. In my view, if it had been Assad's army we would have heard of it in big headlines.Most probably in 50 years we will read about the truth

The moment Russia back-up Mr Assad’s regime by bombing the ‘rebels’ as well as IS strongholds John Kerry was back. He criticised the Russians for bombing but never mind American done it for five years. The main reason was that Russia destroyed ammunition depots and communication centres of the IS as well as the‘rebels’. USA swore revenge.

Russia invited the USA representatives to Moscow to a talk to solve the problems diplomatically. The public was not informed of the outcome or any other details.

Apparently there was not a lot achieved because the USA is now sending troops to Syria without permission of Mr Assad and his government.  This is a violation of entering a country and it is illegal.  It is also an escalation of the civil war.  It proves that America and its allies have no intention of bringing the situation to a peaceful end.
It does not give any credibility to the USA, its allies and John Kerry trying to stop the civil war or solving the refugee crisis.

It is high time that America stops playing the righteous, including UK, and stops interfering in other countries. The USA and UK have enough troubles at home to be solved and both are, at the moment, not exactly democratic.

 The UK government is trying to cut the welfare by £12billion but always has hundreds of billions of pounds for war which does not concern them. Why the UK has to get involved every time the USA snap their fingers? It got  the UK so many enemies. Harold Wilson, Labour, was the only leader who refused to get involved in the Vietnam war.

Why the US Secretary of State John Kerry forever trying to light the fuse is anyone guess? Syria is not Afghanistan, Iraq or any other country. Behind Syria are Russia, China and Iran.  Is John Kerry to bring about another World War?

John Kerry, so the record, was dishonourable dismissed from the Navy during the Vietnam War because he was in contact with the Vietcong.  In America to be dishonourable dismissed from the forces is one of the worst sentences a person can get. Very few employers would employ that person. Yet, there he is a US Secretary of State trying to aggravate the situation to the fullest.

BARONESS ANN JENKINS


Add caption

Baroness Anne Jenkins, 59, was a great friend of Margaret Thatcher which explained already a lot.   She owns a property in Kensington value £1.1million.  

She explained the need for Food Banks and increasing is purely a lack of cooking.  This caused and uproar in the House of Commons and she later changed to that if people would cook more their money would go further.

  Does she know that these people might already been cut off gas and electricity? 

According to Food Banks they also have to give out emergency camp stoves because they have no gas and electricity and people refuse food that needs warming up.  You also can not cook if there is nothing in the cupboards.

Mrs Jenkins founded in 2005 WOMEN2WIN in the Tory Party to get more women into politics. This campaign bound to have cost the taxpayers’ money and it was to no avail because there are fewer women in the Cabinet than ever before.  Was it just to have a more important job?  It certainly had no effect and Mrs Jenkins has been running it since the 2005.

In 2011 Mrs Jenkins received a peerage from PM David Cameron but may we ask for what? Her campaign for WOMEN2WIN did not work and even now to remark that Food Banks are a result of people not cooking is a complete wrong statement, to put it politely.

According to Shelter there will be 90,000 people homeless on Christmas.  What would be Baroness Anne Jenkins recommend on that?  It would be better if she and a number of other Tories would not comment on a matter they have not got a clue.  How can they comment with their income of millions of pounds and living standard they are leading?

 The picture she shows of herself with a porridge she cooked for the cost of 4p leaves a lot of questions.  People might look like plebs to them but they are not that easily taken in by her and the Tory Party’s friend.
 
She should attack the real originator of having to have Food Banks.  There is the Prime Minister David Cameron who pretends they do not exist yet he pushed the people into the situation. 

Chancellor George Osborne who started the austerity and still promised to increase the benefits cuts although it is already down to the bone.  

The Master of it all Ian Duncan Smith head of the Department of Work and pension, who has cut or stopped benefits, even for disabled people. Some could not face it any more and committed suicide or died of starvation.  Yes, died of starvation in Britain and in the 21st century.  

At the same time he awarded himself and his staff £44million bonus. That is the situation of the UK today.  One reporter even mentioned that he put down £40 for breakfast on his expenses.  These are the people who tell hard-up one how to manage them money.

Labour Baroness Lister of Burtersell had said: “Chronic hunger and food poverty were the blight on the country.”

Another great criticism has to be made on Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, statements.  Accordingly he was shocked to see the state the country was in. Where was he all the last two or three years while it had been going on? He demanded that there should be state-run Food Banks.   

Why, so they employ more contractors who siphon off another huge amount of taxpayers’ money?    Food Banks had been going on for a few years now and do an excellent job with their volunteers.  

The Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Rev Justin Welby was schooling in Eton and led a complete different life to ordinary people.   He never uttered a word of criticism of the Government and demands they should pay people the proper wage or give the disabled people their benefits. They would walk tall with pride again and not feeling low having to go to Food Banks.

How these people must feel having to go to Food Banks? They have their pride and dignity which is almost taken away by increasing Millionaire who turn and tell how to cook. They surely could show them how to live a less luxurious and waste of money live. That is where austerity should be introduced.  It is there where the £4 and £5million salaries plus bonuses should be cut down. 

That Ian Duncan Smith has a lot to answer for when he claims a £40 breakfast on his expenses and hands out $44million bonus while he made people starve and rely on Food Banks even when they are working.

TAX CREDIT NOW UNIVERSAL CREDIT REFORM- Updated 27 Sept, 2019

Update 27 Sept, 2019 - Please use your vote and VOTE LABOUR to save all those starving, disable and homeless people. Please!!! Otherwise it will be even worse after Tory's win. It is not a propaganda!!!!  

UPDATE - It was expected that Chancellor George Osborne and Ian Duncan Smith, head of the Dept of Work and Pension will find a way out. Now they changed it into Global Credit Reform and as heralded already in The Guardian it will be far less. Some families will lose £1,600 per year while other win a £1,400. Guess who?

Since the Parliament is so fond of "Reforming" which is always beneficial for them. Can we reform the Parliament?  After all we put them there. Make sure you use your vote on 5 May, 2016 and for any other party but Tories

Result:  The Lords voted to delay the Tax Credit Cuts and demanded an investigation and compensation for the loss of the Tax Credit plus to make the MPs rethink. Now the Lords really done it, kicking the ball back and right into their faces. Little David and even Georgi  sworn revenge.

Oh dear, is the little boy David stamping his feet and throwing a humdrum because the Lords don’t want to play ball with him?

He was first threatening with running to the Queen, so she could elect 150 Lords to vote for his Tax Credit Cuts because the Lords wanted to table a “fatal motion” but that would cause a constitutional crisis. 

The Lord's main objective is that the House of Commons passed the bill without debate in the House of Commons. The Tax Credit Cuts were not mentioned in the Conservatives' Election Manifesto. On those grounds the House of Lords can vote against it. Otherwise the Lords have no say in the fiscal decision of the Government

Now, he threatens to build up Conservative Lord by adding 100 more of his cronies to get the majority there as well. Oh dear, the House of Lords must be trembling what all little David will do to them.

What will the Lords do to calm the little boy down? He refused to accept that he can not get his way.

At the moment the House of Lord is more the overcrowded even after the extension of their chambers. The Lords cost the taxpayers £21million a year not adding the cost of staff and security.

There are peers sitting there and never take part on the discussion costing the taxpayers £750,000 a year.

If little David makes his threat come true to add another 100 they will have to sit on top of each other because they are already quizzed in to limit, not to speak of the extra cost.
It all shows a disregard towards the hard-working people who he tries desperately to cut their money beyond belief and also to get 100 more Lords to get his way with all his bills.

He is getting into manners which is not worthy of a Prime Minister. Even if he resigns, which he also threatened, because he cannot handle it the followers whispered George Osborne or Boris Johnson is in my opinion none the better.

It is amazing how much weight he puts behind the Tax Credit Cuts but never bothered about the British Steel industry which would have brought a lot to the economy plus kept over 5,000 workers off the welfare list. He woollies up to the Chinese instead of stopping their steel import to save the British Steel industry. 

He wanted to get their financial support to build two Nuclear Power Stations but mainly to get his HS2 train built. They only signed it because it would give them more steel export. There again, if he would have financed the people to increase Solar Energy it would have been beneficial.

Oh yes, David Cameron promised to give £9billion to save the Tata Steel Works but we all know what he and his promises are like. He promised £8billion a year to the NHS but, I bet, they never received it. He promised to build 200 houses a year for the social sector but he built houses which cost £450,000 the least.

Since 2010 there had been an endless list of promises and none were kept. The voters fell for it again because of his smears and lies at the election in May 2015 about Labour. Now the voters have to face the fiasco if the Lords vote for Tax Credit Cuts to be introduced. We only can hope and pray they do not.

TORIES GOLDEN ERA WITH CHINA FOR WHOM - UPDATE: 14 Nov., 2019

Update 14 Nov., 2019 - May resigned in June and Boris Johnson became PM in July but he is even worse. He tried to close down Parliament but was overruled by the Courts. He got a Brexit agreement with EU but was down voted by House of Common because it has a Custom check at the Irish Sea which is against Good Friday Agreement. Now he decided to have a General Election on 12 Dec., 2019

British Steel is planned to be sold to China. TATA the present owner will cut over 1,000 jobs.

Trump plans to have a TTIP with UK whereby UK has to lower its Food Standard to accept USA clorinated chicken and hormon injected beef; it also includes NHS. Johnson agrees to all that.

Update 6 Nov.,  2016 -- The new PM Theresa May none the  better, since she went to China. She confirmed contracts for the two Nuclear Power Stations in the UK, which nobody wants, involving 80,000 tonnes of steel, and the move of the car plant Rover MG to China.  

Both a heavy loss of thousands of tonnes of steel to British Steel.

An insult to all steel workers who lost their job and to the Nation which lost their Steel Industry Mr Cameron called it an "Golden Era". How could he and how dare he?

UPDATE: 24 Oct., 2015 -
A deal was signed to build two nuclear power stations; most probably with Chinese Steel. EDF the French Government Electricity company will built it and most probably run it. The profit goes into the French Government.  

Well done PM David Cameron. He could have saved British Steel by stopping Chinese import. That deal stinks of everything that is moral. What else did he sell to the Chinese?

It is strange that by co-incident the British Steelworks got into trouble because the foreign owners pulled out, as the Chinese President arrived in London and after clever-boy George Osborne went to China.  Such an co-incident!!!!!!!!!

Cameron announced a “Golden Era” began between the UK and China. There are several criticisms against the “Golden Era” heralded by Cameron.

The reality is, he hopes China invest 30 per cent in the new building of a Nuclear Power Station and also partly finances the luxury train HS2. 

Although the Chinese president Xi Jinping signed an agreement on his second day of his visit he pointed out that details will be worked out when he returns to China. Already a great protest broke out in China against President Xi Jinping's visit to the UK.

Chinese economy was part of the collapse in recent months and they lost heavily on their share value. It also reflected in the collapse of British Steel because they flooded the UK and Europe with cheaper precede steel. The price of steel dropped from £330 to £180 per ton.

China will try to sell their steel even more aggressively to boost their economy but it is the UK which has not to buy it. Germany and France nationalised their steel industry to safeguard it. Why can not the UK do it?

China produces 1.6billion tons a year.

There are also great critics of China for its large consuming of wildlife products – ivory – tiger body parts and rhino horns for the medical and decoration. 2011 a report by International Foundation for Animals Welfare revealed “rampart illegal ivory trade” which led to a crackdown.

Prince William gave a speech on Chinese network CCTVs urging the people to stop buying illegal animal parts. It reached 100 million people.

Campaigners appeal to David Cameron regarding Chinese human rights records – such as repression of other minorities, detaining human rights lawyers and restriction on freedom of worship.

Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong protested against China plans to intervene in HK election last year.  He told David Cameron he can not trust the Chinese assurance on HK if it is given during the week’s visit.

Wong said: “My message to David Cameron is that China has not kept its promise to the people of HK to deliver universal suffrage, so how can you trust Mr Xi to keep his word on the trade deal signed this week.”

Mind you Mr Xi Jinping, if it is the fact, is not worse than PM David Cameron who never keeps his word.

China was accused of cyber-attacks on other countries. Therefore it is feared they can use commercial deals with Britain to spy on companies.

China seems to be the perfect trade’s people.  When they show their cards they always had an alternative motive and advantage in their deals.

Sky’s economist editor Ed Conway points out the possibility of losing the closed contact with the US which already cooled down since the UK joined China’ Asia Infrastructure investing Bank which is a rival to the World Bank. Is David Cameron trying to play a double sided political game? If so he will crash-land where China is concerned. They buy and sell him before he can say Hello.

Again David Cameron is selling out his people rather than offend the Chinese. A 60 years campaign to receive the deserved medal for 1949 China Yangtze River is being held back just for hat reason, The Sun reported.

The HMS Concord destruction “played a vital role in guiding crippled HMS Ametyst away from the Chinese guns”, the paper says, but the navy men never got their medals. Now, even Work and Pension Secretary Ian Duncan Smith agrees and is joined by the Ministry of Defence for not to cause trouble with Beijing.

That is really marvellous. None of these ‘men’ had ever any hard times leave alone fighting in s war; yet they decide to withhold medals which the brave navy men fought for their country with all the sacrifices.

The real reason is to get their H2S train financed. The Tories are not worried either about the Steel Industry. They are so callous that they do not accept a payment from the EU to save the steel industry because it would stop their repay.  Why? Where does the repay go?

Again they show the Tories do anything to get their projects done. It is sickening to know that we have to live under such a Government which is utterly and completely self-centred and step over anybody of the public.

BRITISH STEEL WORKS CLOSURE- Update: 18 January, 2016


REDCAR STEELWORKS
UPDATE: 18 January, 2016

Announcement today that Tata will make 1050 workers redundant. 

So Mr Cameron did not keep his promise and failed his people again.

The result so far is that Cameron pledged a £9billion to Tata Steel work to keep it going but we had a list of broken pledges by now; time will tell. 

Scunthorpe will not be supported and moth-balled. 

Another sell out to the Chinese. Cameron could have saved British steel if he stopped Chinese import instead he sign a contract with China to built two nuclear power stations most probably with Chinese steel and build by EDF the French Government electricity company. France and Germany saved their steel industry by nationalising it. 

Well done, a stinking deal and sell out to your people, Cameron & Co.

He has £167billion for Trident  and £70billion for H2S luxury train yet lets British Steel Industry go to the wall.

British Steel had a world wide reputation which no one could touch it because the 
quality was so high.

Then some brainless but greedy wizard privatised it. Privatisation is never for the love of the British public but greed of politicians. There is always a bundle falling under the table.

Soon after the ‘British Steel’ got into financial trouble because the chief executives and the shareholders got out of it as much as possible. It was not the workers who done one of the hardest jobs.

Then another brainless move came to sell it off to foreign bidders and another few bundles fell off the table. These foreign companies again took the highest profit and salaries but at the same time learned what was so special about the ‘British Steel’ how the highest quality is produced, make no mistake?

Now we have the final scenario which the politicians should have foreseen. They all go back to their country and produce the high quality steel at lower price because their workforce is cheaper.

One of the reason given, from Tata, was the electricity was too costly.  Well done the six energy suppliers because now you see the result and cut your own throats with your greed

All this has happened, not only to British Steel, but to many other top industries Britain was famous for.

The same Tories which caused all the trouble has now to bath it out or will they? PM David Cameron already appealing to China’s President for help. Already the Chinese Ambassador in London told Cameron that Britain has to adjust. In other words "No Help". That sums it up.

China is the real business people, if they do not see a profit for themselves they will not bother. Does Cameron not see or know it? Or does he not care unless it is for his advantage? It proven with the steel works now he negotiated a deal about a nuclear power station. It will be the same. The moment the Nuclear Power Station will get old and needs costly repairs they will be off. The Chinese learnt what they wanted to learn again.

China will not go down even after they lost heavily  in the last few months but they have one of the biggest gold reserves. Chine is wise to buy constantly more gold.

Again, why not stand up and by the steel industry? Germany and France had the same dilemma but they backed-up their steel industry and rescued it from bankruptcy.  The only problem in this it would cost the treasury a huge amount of money which the Tory’s always shy away from.

Again it is the wrong policy because there will be soon 1,700 in PwC, 1,700 Redcar and 2,000 in Tata unemployed. There is also always a string of others smaller businesses attached to it which will go under and create more unemployment which go onto the welfare.

Remember the words from PM David Cameron, Chancellor George Osborne and other cabinet ministers who promised an improved economy since Labour done it all wrong. Yet Labour never borrowed so much in all their years in office and Labour, Gordon Brown, brought the recession caused not by them but the top financiers called Credit Crunch from minus 2.6 to plus 1 per cent back which vanished in the first three months after the Tories were in office.

Debts had risen from £1,500trillion to £1,560trillion in the last four months

In the last five years the Tories had two recessions and one nearly miss even there was no Credit Crunch.

What do the Tories about this steel crisis, poverty crisis and the refugee crisis? They put their head in the sand and wait until it blows over. Labour would have nationalised the Steel Industry and saved those 6,000 steel workers’ jobs.

These jobs are all in the north of England and it will hit harder because there is already great unemployment. Yes, Chancellor George Osborne with his false promise of Northern Powerhouse won the Tories their election. Soon he cancelled the modernisation of the Northern Railways System which he promised to invest £36billion the moment they won.

If the people have not learnt their lesson from the last five years of austerity and double and treble the rich’ pockets maybe now it will dawn what they have done voting them in again. As promised, and this promise will be kept, “They want to come back to finish the job”.

It will come down even harder after April 2016 when the Tax Credit will be cut or completely cancelled.  Tories’ saving will always be off the back of the poor and most vulnerable never from their own pockets or friends. Chief executives earning millions of pounds plus bonuses almost as much while people rely on food banks to stay alive is not even scandalous but criminal.

They even had the nerve to increase MPs’ salaries by 10 per cent. MPs that live rent free and have all their other expenses paid for by the taxpayers.  Even PM David Cameron claims £32,000 for his mortgage while he lives at 10 Downing Street rent free. Not to mention he is a multi-millionaire, most probably a multi-billionaire.

Is PM David Cameron still puffing out his chest and preening his peacock feather stating that the Tories are reducing unemployment?

Or Chancellor George Osborne lied about the economy improving and the Northern Powerhouse.

UK GOVERNMENT NEW LOW MORALS Update 6 July, 2016


UPDATE: 6 July, 2016 --
London is now known as the capital
of the world for drugs out of 56 cities.
The Government can be proud of that
achievement, especially the Home
Secretary Theresa May.

WHAT ABOUT THE INCREASE OF CRIME 
TO GET THE MONEY FOR IT?



Image result for legalization of cannabis



  











WHAT ABOUT THE INCREASE OF  
ACCCIDENTS OR DOES THAT NOT COUNT AS LONG MR OSBORNE GETS MORE MONEY TO SHOW A BETTER ECONOMY?

They debate, today, whether to legalise Cannabis and only because 220,000 people petitioned it. The treasury is all for it because it would raise millions of pounds and they justify it with being able to pay more for the police and prison.

It is a nice little smoke screen for the damage it would do to the public if they legalise the use of Cannabis.

Already last September the Chancellor George Osborne used £10billion taxes from prostitution and drugs to boost his bad economy.  No wonder the drugs’ trade does not get stopped. According to a police’s report there are 600 big drugs dealers. Since they know them why are they not closing them down?  Is it another and new cover-up like the historic child abuse?

The very thought even to consider it for debates, never mind about the 220,000 petitioners who most probably are drug users and do not need to be encouraged.
Surely there are some far more urgent matters which needs debating like to cancel the new cut-backs to get people out of poverty not further into it. The Chancellor George Osborne and Prime Minister David Cameron do not want to know about poverty although for the first time he mentioned it at the Conservative Party Conference. He made more promises which will not be fulfilled.

The housing crisis, the unemployment and how to increase the economy all needs debating and a solution found. How to rescue the Steelworks Redcar which has 1,700 workers who will be unemployed in an area of already high unemployment? They sold it to a Thai business and see what happened? He had all his profit out of it and now declared bankruptcy.

There is the Middle East which has turned into an even greater crisis and threatens to spill across the world again. Not only the refugees crisis but also after the Russian getting involved and the USA lit the fuse by threatening Russia with repercussion. 

Mr Cameron is eager to getting involved further with air strikes but has he considered that it will create more terrorists with hate enough to cause  atrocities on the streets of the UK. These are the real problems which needs debating and not the legalisation of Cannabis whose campaigners’ only aim is to stay out of prison. 

They should not only think of the danger a drug would do them but also of getting imprison. The threat might persuade youngster to stay clear of it. It is a far better way then getting more money into the Treasury’s coffer which might never be used for police or prison.  

After all the public had enough of smokescreens and false promises from this government just to get their way

RUTHLESS TORIES CUT PENSIONERS BENEFITS Update 19 May, 2017


Update 19 May, 2017 --
Tory's manifesto includes cancel the Winter Fuel payment to rich pensioners and a "means-test" to poor pensioners. One way to cut the poor again!

Oh are they not great? To cut the pensioners’  little extras which gives them the extra comfort while the Tories swimming in millions of pounds and crab more.

UK's pension is on the 24th place out of 35 countries. Yet it is the seventh richest country.

They plan to cut the Winter Fuel Allowances, Free Bus Pass which only allows using  during off=peak periods, the Christmas bonus and any other benefits. All these benefits were given by Labour therefore remember it at the next General Election.

Mr Wild of Tax Allowances stated at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester to make now further cut to pensioner’s benefits. He reasoned the pensioners would not be around by 2020 or forgot whose party it was. In other words they Tories will not lose votes.  Mr Wild a research director with no doubt a fat salary and most probably a big bonus

The record shows that 40,000 people died last winter, despite the winter fuel allowances, pensioners had still not enough to heat their homes properly since the energy suppliers’ tariff was increased by 10 percent every winter since the Tories are in power. Many families had also to make the choice between buying food or heating their homes.  All these facts the Tories just ignore and marching about full of arrogance, congratulating each other how great they are.

Mr Fox who should have been expelled from Parliament after it was discovered that he took his friend, who had nothing to go with Parliament,  to every meeting and they had endless luxurious foreign trips. Nobody knows about the background of his friend apart his name and Mr For was the head of the Ministry of Defence which surely demand security. After a long battle he resigned on public demand but is still a Tory backbencher.

Mr Fox had the thick nerve to demand cuts of pensioners' benefits and welfare.
He said: “we can never go back to that historic high levels of public spending seen in recent years and the government public spending cuts must be for keeps.”

How can anybody be so characterless and take the last penny from pensioners. People who went through the worst hardship this country seen and then they get treated like that.

“This is the time to fix the roof.” Yes, but on the Tories

“We have a broke opposition. We have just won a general election and we need now to take the tough decisions we believe are right.”

A broken opposition? Is the man beyond belief? Oh the peacock feather must have stood in full glory and he must have tapped himself on his shoulder.

Hopefully Mr Corbyn makes him eats his words.


Mr Fox added further: “We are borrowing for the next generation to spend today. That is otherwise known as a Bonzi scheme. It’s what we are operating as a national financial policy. If you continue to overspend there will be a day reckoned.” They done it during the last five years despite austerity which was a con anyway. Now this he said it to the right people all sitting there but use in the wrong content.

How about cutting the Ministry of Defence expenses which wastes tens of thousand of pounds by ordering the wrong parts or useless equipments or cutting back on Trident.

PM David Cameron waste £717,000 on entertaining celebrities and Tory donors while Tony Blair used £390,000.

MPs’ salary increase by 10 per cent to £70,000 plus exuberant expenses

Mr Pickles’ incredible high expenses of £536,000 for luxurious limos plus £76,000 for tea and biscuits and many other claimed expenses by MPs and Lords

The 95 advisers for PM David Cameron with high salaries costing approx £4million.

NHS around 50 chief executive’s salaries of over £500,000

There is an almost endless list which could be quoted where the Tories waste money but it is on their site, not the general public, and therefore it is not mentioned

He even had the audacity to say that older people would understand the need for cuts.

All in all it is typical Tories again and in full swing.

WATCHKEEPER SURVEILLANCE DRONES



Watchkeeper surveillance drones had been commissioned in 2005. By now they had only six days of active duty after a decade in development, The Guardian revealed.

This British army drone supposed to be developed as an affordable solution and is now four years late. An investigation discovered that by the time it is fully operational the costs have risen to £1.2billion.

The order was for 54 drones to be designed and build.  The announcement of the Watchkeeper surveillance drones was made in 2005 by the then defence John Reid who said they would be “key to battlefields survey in the near future”.  He signed a contract of £800million with the consortium led by the French defence firm Thales.

Why again a French company. British engineers would have been more than capable of designing and building it. Plus it would have given jobs.

The first Watchkeeper surveillance drone was expected to enter service from 2010 and being fully operational by 2013

The reason for the delay was given as software glitches and army staff shortages and it is now planned for 2017 the earliest. It does not sound very definite.

The investigation by the non-profit Bureau of Investigative Journalism and The Guardian show a muddle costing the organisation had given.

At the end of the day, it is the taxpayer who has to foot the bill at a time where they are so hard-up they rely on food banks to survive. The Ministry of Defence also does not care about the starving one million families in a country to be the six richest in the world.

Reports were hitting the headline that the MoD wastes million and billion of pounds by either making mistakes in ordering or ordering the wrong goods. The Prime Minister Dave Cameron or Chancellor George Osborne do not seem to control this and other department were huge sums of money are being wasted. How about putting there austerity?
