PM CAMERON CUTS DISABLED BENEFITS WATCHING PARALYMPICS



Referring back to the plan of cutting disability benefits which is already quietly in action brings it even more into focus during the Paralympics. Disabled people, even if they don’t compete in the Paralympics, deserve nothing but admirations. How they are cope in the very ordinary life to get through the day being handicapped in one way or another. Therefore, they should get best benefits which is available and it must available because money is not cut but increased for Foreign aids, sending army into another civil war which has nothing to do with the UK, bail-outs every year on top of EU contributions and wrong expenses paid to MPs and ex-Prime Ministers.  The worst and it is the highest, is the £500,000 paid for expenses to Margaret Thatcher. She doesn’t attend any meeting because she got dementia.  How dare the government be so callous with the taxpayers’ money and at the same time cut benefits to disabled people and pensioners?

THAT IS WHERE AUSTERITY SHOULD START AT CUTTING FOREIGN AID, BAIL-OUTS, EX-PM PENSIONS AND EXPENSES.

Now I am coming to my main point. The Paralympic with the Opening Ceremony was even better than the Olympics. It was heartbreaking to see these athletes with their various disabilities and yet they looked so eager and smiling all the way. Already what they achieved in the Opening Ceremony was fantastic leave alone the following competitions in various sports aiming for gold, silver or bronze.

It went to every one heart how great these athletes are to overcome such tremendous difficulties.

Yet, how can David Cameron sit there plus other government official and watch these people knowing very well what they done to them? It is beyond any understanding. David Cameron and his friends live in greatest luxuries from a start. Never have any money problems or worries but making out they know what it is like furthermore trying to convince the public. How can David Cameron be so unscrupulous and even state: “The Olympics made us proud but this will make us even prouder?” It is certainly beyond any ordinary people’s understanding and unforgivable.

UK GOVERNMENT DEMAND CUT PENSIONERS' BENEFITS in 2012



Tory MP Nick Boles is a close friend of David Cameron and aught to be deeply ashamed of himself. Does ‘Shame’ exist in the Conservative party dictionary?  Definitely not.

In a speech held at the Resolution Foundation in London Mr Boles demanded to cut all benefits of Old Age Pensioners. Another one of the Conservative Party who show its real face and forgotten that especially this generation of OAP saved this country from invasion of Hitler and his Nazis. Their men fought bitterly with everything they got and even had not the Nazi Army. At home their families scrimped and scraped under most difficult circumstances. Now these glory boys swimming in tenths of million and haven’t got any idea what life is about want to cut the few privileges this generation receives.

Mr Boles suggested cutting the free bus passes which is only used during day time in other words when the seats are empty any way.

He wants to cut winter fuel payment which the Labour Party introduced to prevent OAP dying of hypothermia. If this is taken away those old people will die again as it happen before. Does Mr Boles have any conscience and his friend Mr Cameron including the Conservative Party?

Furthermore, he wants to stop free TV licence. The TV licence came into force because the BBC did not run any adverts but in the meantime they do have adverts and therefore the TV licence fees should be abolished. ITV does not charge any TV licence fees because they had adverts from a start.  So why the BBC is still allowed to carry on with the TV licence fees? Mr Cameron and his friends do not think and talk about this.

Mr Boles also demand to cut the free eye tests. Since the OAP are hard up as it is they cannot pay for eye tests and therefore bad eye sight will endanger their lives.

The whole plan and idea of Mr Boles is an absolute disgrace.

The Conservative Party, as always when they are elected, shows now their true face. Surely there isn’t one pledge from their election manifesto kept.

The moment they came into power there were cuts in Army, RAF, Navy, Nursing staff and lately 6,000 policemen in a crime ridden country already.

The NHS was already understaffed and they cut further nursing post. It is now so bad that doctors and nurses were forced to strike which didn't happen for 40 years and it proves that they don't have any other alternatives. 

Just as long as their books look right in 10 Downing Street.

Army, RAF and Navy again were already undermanned and lacked of equipments yet they had to fight in Iraq, Afghanistan and were sent into Libya. When they came back they came back they were sacked. Any of these countries had nothing to do with Britain and it caused nothing but hatred and terrorism against Britain while the ‘leaders’ of the government sat back in their cushy armchairs.

The most incredible point of it all is that with all these cuts they had a double-dip recession. But instead of sitting down and looking at the result and realizing it doesn’t work they still plough on.

Mr Boles also demands a £10billion general benefit cuts which again hits the worst off people..  
                         
This is really spiteful but it was the Conservative party previously when they closed all the coal mines, shipyards and privatised every government run industry. The result five million unemployed and all these privatised industries don’t work because their shareholders want the most profit.

How could anyone belief the Conservative Party have changed?

BRITAIN AXED MILITARY FORCES -- Update 26 Feb., 2015



UPDATE: 26 February, 2015 -- What kind of politic is that? The Government is spending over £30million  on adverts to recruit soldiers, RAF and Navy personnel. These recruits need training which cost additional money while the previously sacked army were fully trained.  This is sheer loony. The axed personnel are most probably still on benefit which is another waste of money.


UPDATE: 1 March 2014 -- In spite of all the redundancy the Government is still planning to axe 1,400 soldiers. Adding to the previous redundancies in the last three years it is adding a great number of unemployed people.  People who have been trained just for a particular job and have no other knowledge will find it hard to get a job especially in a situation of 2.5million unemployment. Yet, the Government make us belief in reducing unemployment.


UPDATE:  25 January 2013  ---  A further redundancy in the Armed Forces had been announced. There will be another 5,300 soldiers lose their job. This will bring down the total to 82,000 and is the lowest for 200 years. Where does the government think they find jobs in a high unemployed market? Most of them will end up as unemployed and receiving benefit. Then the government is surprised when the benefit payments double and treble. What kind of policy is this/


This is now the second time and in a very short time where armed forces being axed. This time about 4,000 personnel of soldiers and officers had lost their job. Quite a number were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan which was an illegal war started by Mr Bush and involved Mr Blair. It all cost too many lives and didn’t bring peace.

This time it is the RAF and Navy which are mostly losing their men. On the list are six RAF air vice-marshals and 30 group captains.

Overall the RAF are earmarked for 115 squadron leaders

The NAVY will not fare any better with being on the list for five commodore and 15 captains and all together 30,000 Royal Naval personnel.

It was also announced the 500 private and 400 Ghurkhas will receive their redundancy notice. It will especially hit hard the Ghurkhas who fought so willingly and known as the best force in the British Army. They are not allowed to receive British Citizenship and therefore most probably no financial benefits.  This is a disgrace if ever there was one.

In stage three it is the Army which will lose about 20,000 soldiers right across.
There are several points to said about this irresponsibility

The first point which comes to mind is that there is always money available to bail-out countries as well as foreign aids which do nothing but go into the pocket of the various governments.

The second point is the impact of human and military of these job losses. Again most of them fall on social benefit which costs money and does not produce anything.

The third point is that it will reduce Britain to a very low military power. Especially at a moment when there is still Afghanistan fighting going on. The Falklands in danger of being claimed by Argentine, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria are an increasing threat to peace, trade and economy. Hard negotiation over all these dangerous developments will not work if these countries are aware the military force is not there.

The argument by the Coalition that part-time reserve would fill the gap if it comes to the worst is nothing but ludicrous.

A Ministry of Defence spokesman pointed out that the multi-billion deficit has to be reduced.  The plan is to reduce the Army by 82,000 by 2020, Navy and RAF by 5,000

Many of the overworked British Armed Forces applied for redundancy. Their fear of a future in an Armed Force having to work twice is hard of which they are already pushed to total exhaustion being under-staffed already.

On an overall view of the not very clever politics of the present government there are 15,000 policemen lost their job at a time of a crime wave never seen before.

The Olympics is coming up very shortly and the government counter argument to this was that the army would be deployed. On 12 June 2012 -- 4,000 Army personnel and 30,000 Royal Navy personnel lost their job. The Army is still fully deployed in Afghanistan and can’t put down their arms to go back to secure the Olympics safety.

Well let’s hope they know what they doing in practice and not just with statistics and on paper.

The last point is to make that the Ministry of Defence “found” £12billion. What happen to it? This £12billion was sitting there when everything was being paid. Therefore, is the ministry of Defence really in such a high deficit?

DAVID CAMERON'S POLITICS ?????



IN MAY 2012 and it has not improved

Forgive me for saying so but is there any sense to David Cameron’s politic?

He breaks protocol in backing Mr Sarkozy’s election campaign and ignores Mr. Hollande when he visited London before his election.  When he met the new President of France at the G8 meeting he had a private meeting with him but, of course, with Mr Hollande’s refusing austerity it did not go well. Mr Hollande’s comment was afterwards “we agreed to disagree.”

Then he tells Mrs Merkel to back-up Greece with Germany’s ‘wealth’. First of all Germany’s ‘wealth’ had gone with Euro which David Cameron should be aware off. Secondly, Germany had a 0.5 per cent in the last quarter improvement. However, by now the people of Germany are just as fed-up like in Britain always paying out to other countries while austerity has been applied to them. These countries were standing on their own feet before so why are they constantly bankrupt now?  It is every year they asking for bail-out. Do wake up Leaders.

David Cameron’s famous austerity is only for the ordinary people. His cutting 16,000 police officers with two major celebrations coming up.  He cuts the Army, Navy and RAF drastically. At the moment he is planning to send troops to Syria to stop the bloodshed.  He also told the G8 leaders to increase the pressure and send more troops to increase the 300 troops already there. Do we see an escalation into a war again? Why again?

Now let’s go over to the Ministry of Defence. All this time we were told that they inherited about £38billion of debt from incapable Labour. Last week it was revealed that Defence Secretary Philip Hammond ‘found’ £12billion unspent cash. Is it a small mind that can’t work out when there is a £38billion deficit and then all of sudden £12billion emerged not being spent? Surely it doesn’t add up and £12billion can’t be that small that it vanished between the sheets of accountancy. At the same Mr Hammond insists that the redundancies will still go ahead.  All at the same time when Mr Cameron plans to get the troops ready to go to Syria.

Last week was a further £30billions swiped off the pension’s funds and plunged into a £93billion deficit.  The pension fund should not have put onto the stock exchange. Everybody knows how fickle the stock exchange is, especially at the moment, and furthermore it was the people’s money. The previous Conservative government had no right to do so. If they left it where it was before the pension fund would still be there plus accumulated interests.  That is the reason for running out of pensions and not because there are more people retired or they live longer.

Do we have to have another Einstein to solve all these riddles and confusion?
