NO AUSTERITY IN TORIES BACKYARD -- Updated 2 Jan., 2018

A SUMMARY - Just a reminder and to remember what the Tories already were capable to do to the people whom they suppose to represent supposing to fight for their RIGHTS and JUSTICE but proven to do the opposite. 

Update 2 Jan., 2018 -- Westminster alcohol consumption increased to £1,8bn in the last year

NO AUSTERITY THERE

Cameron barely elected decides that the MPs should have 10 per cent pay rise and the poor and disabled the £12billion Welfare cut.


UPDATED: 10 March, 2015 --  The so called reform of the Department of Work and Pensions cost the taxpayers £800million. The mastermind Ian Duncan Smith never got it off the ground. It is surprising Ian Duncan Smith is in such a position after he was caught claiming taxes for his Wife working for a firm which did not exists. He slipped through the net because the expenses scandal exploded. It nevertheless tells of his character and such a man rules over benefits of disabled people deciding whether to pay or not.  

AUSTERITY?


UPDATE: 17 February, 2015 -- Ministry of Defence wasted £6million on earplugs which are useless A total sum of £50million was wasted for faulty or useless equipments or errors.

Whitehall waste £5billion a year through errors, unused equipment and compensation.


AUSTERITY?


UPDATED: 4 February,2015 -- Nick Clegg, leader of the LibDem and coalition, has in 2012 started a youth employment scheme which costs the taxpayers £1billion but nothing came of it. It suppose to give 160,000 young unemployed training and jobs. What happened to the money?  The taxpayers ought to be given an account of it.

AUSTERITY?



UPDATE:  3 February, 2015 -- Tory William Hague uses £2,000 a day taxpayers'money to live in a luxurious apartment in London.


AUSTERITY?



UPDATE: 13 January 2015 --  Tory MP Eric Pickles spent approx. £50,000 on a trip to China hiring a private plane and staying in the most luxurious hotels. In spite of the Prime Minister forbidden to fly First Class Eric Pickles was allowed to do one better and hired a private plane.


AUSTERITY?



The UK’s Chancellor George Osborne spent £43,064 on lawyers to stop the cap of bankers’ bonuses while people starving.  Why he bothered at all is already questionable?  The rules have so many backdoors.
The cap for bonuses supposed to be for not more than 100per cent of their salaries but with shareholders’ approval it can be 200 per cent.

This information came from Freedom of Information. The EU tried to clamp down on fatcats’ exuberant payment.  The EU Court of Justice ruled the EU rule for the bonus cap is “valid”.

AUSTERITY?

Then the next point that the MPs employing relatives and it adds to their already high wages plus all expenses paid.   The annual bill increased by 50 per cent in the last four years the Coalition is in power. It reached now £3.8million. About 170 MPs, including Cabinet Ministers, are hiring children, wives and relatives paying them anything between £20,000 and £40,000 a year taxpayers’ money.

2010 the costs were £2,4million

2013-14 the costs were £3.8million.

AUSTERITY?

The Department of Work and Pensions cutting down on benefits, including disabled people, but spent £44million of bonuses on himself, Ian Duncan Smith and his staff, last year.

AUSTERITY?

£19trillion was syphoned off the Treasury and put it into tax haven. If it were Labour’s it would be all court cases but it is assumed they all on the side of the Tories and most probably donors.

AUSTERITY?

£180,000 was spent on the reshuffle of Cabinet’s Minister to improve the chance of winning the General Election.  Since it was for that reason it should be paid by the Tory Party and not the taxpayers.  The same was when Osborne and Cameron travelled around campaigning; it is paid by the taxpayers. They found  loophole if a trip is to a factory etc then is it a Government business trip. Therefore they always include a visit to a factory wherever they campaigning and that after receiving £40million from their  rich friends to ensure they win the election. Yet their eternal greed makes them charge the taxpayers,

AUSTERITY?

Now the luxurious travels of MPs.  In the last four years £50million were spent on luxurious travel.  It counts for 13 out of the 21 Whitehall departments  In 2010 a rule was made that it is forbidden to travel First Class in trains as well as in planes. David Cameron ordered that all MPs have to travel economy class but it is totally ignored. Not only that but they even hire private planes, including Cameron.

Cameron made a joke of it himself because he not only travels first class but hires private planes.  About two years ago he went to a Commonwealth meeting to Australia and hired a private plane and vanished before the last day where all the other leaders were still trying to get the last chance of a deal.  He went to a Vineyard.

The Ministry of Justice spent £29million on taxis, First Class train and flights in five years.  £3.1million was spent on taxis alone.

AUSTERITY?

These are only very few examples how the taxpayers’ hard-earned money is callously spent with no thoughts about the working people who cannot afford three meals a day, warm winter clothes for themselves and their children. They dare not heat their homes probably otherwise they can not pay their bills
.
Last winter there were 20,000 deaths recorded of hypothermia and it was a warm winter.  This winter will be a harsh one and already heavy frost was recorded for weeks.  It is scary to think what will be the outcome? It is mainly the elderly who need more warmth because their body heat is dropping and especially that generation fought so hard for Britain and sacrificed so much.

Yet that Chancellor wants to cut even more down and at the same time on taxpayers’ money establish a new department “Feed Britain”.

The only way to counteract these lunatic politics is to vote now the right Party in.  The last Labour Party was not always perfect, under Tony Blair because he is a Thatcherite.  It seems to be back as the "old Labour" and cares about the working class people. Do not fall for the UKIP sending out messages of being an alternative party. It is only standing by and joins up with the Tories to win the General Election. As it is the party is full of “defected” Tories and Farage himself was a Tory. To me it looks a pre-arranged set-up all along.

TORIES INCREASED DEBTS AND AUSTERITY -- Updated 27 Sept., 2019

UPDATE 27 Sept., 2019 - May resigned under great pressure and Boris Johnson was voted in by his Tories. The waste of Taxpayers' money even increased and so did the troubles, Debts and Austerity. Brexit is looming on 31 October, 2019 but BJ lets calmly roll the waggon into it; causes Ireland a border and great devastation economical, immigration, more hardship for general public. Tories and fatcats will benefit from a no-deal-Brexit  

UPDATE: 18 May, 2016 -- Tories promises of an improved economy and smears on Labour's economy has ended, so far, in highest deficit for 67 years, £115billion more debt and increased unemployment. Yet Cameron still stand in the House of Common given never an answer in PMQ and making fun of Jeremy Corbyn and Labour. How on earth does he get away with it all?

UPDATE: 18 October, 2015 -- It is hard to accept that the Tories won again after all the damages they done in their previous reign. As foretold they now show their real face. A £12billion cut in Welfare is being worked out and announced in two weeks time. They will continue with their austerity drive despite it did not work and now is uncovered as a con  because the rich got richer beyond belief. 

The promised improvement of the economy, at the General Election, has already increased the debts from £1,500trillion to £1,560trillion and the FTSE has lost 1,500 on share value ever since the Tories won the election.


Cameron has not put his promised £8billion into the NHS and the NHS is not at breaking point.


In  my opinion it is amazing how the Tory's led government can all of a sudden reduce the deficit, unemployment and promise to put in £2billion, now even £8billion into the NHS. Why were they not doing it all the time during their five years in office? Don't be taken in because as in 2010 it is nothing but fiddles and false promises again. If they win they show their real faces again


We do not know how good or bad Mr Osborne was with mathematics at school and we will never be told.

However, it is obvious now that his adding and subtracting does not work. He thinks he can stupefy the public but those days, due to the Internet, are over.  He also can put down his whitewash brush because there is not enough paint to cover it any more.

His plans of cutting back almost twice as much as before will certainly bring the UK back to the 1930 and he knows it. It is another point where he assumes the public buys it that he, PM David Cameron and the rest of the coalition is not aware of it or deny it, it will happened.

Chancellor George Osborne keeps on about reducing the deficit.  Why does he keep the same plan as for past five years is not known but the facts speak for themselves.  Even with his doubling the cuts he will not reduce the deficit but increase it because the deficit is the difference between government spending and the incoming tax.  When he cut the stamp duty tax it is already a downturn of his trying to reduce the deficit.  It is helpful to the buyers as he puts it if he only cut the stamp duty tax for lower priced houses but for higher priced properties he increasing it.  It helps the young people to get a foot on the ladder but financially it would not bring  in any extra money,


THESE ARE THE FACTS AND FIGURES OF THE LABOUR PARTY AT 2010 AND NO ALLEGEDLY "HUGE DEFICIT" HAVING TO BE TAKEN OVER BY THE TORIES. 

So far the present government had not achieved the 1 percent GDP they took over in 2010.  This recovery in 2009 was achieved by the Labour Party PM Gordon Brown after a horrendous financial crisis caused by the financiers, purposely, world wide.  Only because they had to bail-out the fatcats Banks. In Gordon Brown's last budget in March 2010 he even promised a possible reduction of VAT from 15 per cent, increase of winter fuel bills for the pensioners, increase for the nurses, police and fire brigade's wages.  I was a terrific budget to improve the life in Britain. Why people had to vote the Tories after all they have done the last time, it is hard to understand.  If they did vote them in again?????

A few weeks ago Mr Osborne announced that he would introduce a £48billion cut when they will be elected.  Previously he cut £21billion per year and it brought the people down to poverty and having to rely on food banks. It never happened since the Second World War and that was soup kitchen.  First of all there is no more money to be saved but if he follows his plan of £48billion it will bring the country to a standstill. Everything is already cut to the bare bones.

Surprisingly enough in his last budget he mentioned £27billion. Did he change his mind temporarily for the General Election and if they win will he upgrade it again to £48billion? The voters never had to think so hard where to put their cross on the election paper since the country had already five years of utter squeeze for the people and the Elite never got so rich since the Victorian time.

It is obvious Mr Osborne’s austerity did not work. He was even criticised or advised by other countries to change his plan. Mrs Merkel of Germany and even the IMF told him it won’t work. Now after five years in government the debts has increased by £500billion in spite of his austerity.  What has masterbrain done with all that money?

UK is on top of the list with 5pc of GDP
France has 4.4pc of GDP
Italy has 1.5 of GDP
Germany has 0.2 of GDP

USA was on the same level as UK but brought it down to 2.8pc of GDP

Germany and USA borrowed and invest it in the economy.  Mr Osborne was advised to do the same but, oh no, he nevertheless borrowed but did not invest it in the economic. It just vanished. Does he not realise that the more he screws down the public spending the less he gets in VAT?.   

Then there goes tenth of billions of pounds out of the country into tax haven.   The money in tax haven has now risen to £39trillion. That is where he should put the pressure on but would not because they are all too close to the Tory Party and donate heavily.  He should cut these massive bonuses and huge salaries which were only introduced by the Tory-led Government. Never before were such high salaries and bonuses paid out. No man is worth that kind of income or does such a worthwhile job to justify a £4 or £5million income a year.

Another great saving could be made by getting out of the EU. The general public had been against it for years. In the last General Election David Cameron promise a referendum of IN/OUT of Europe but as all his other promises it was never kept.  The EU costs far too much money. Again Brussels demanded £1.7billion. If it was spent into the economy it would create a lot of jobs and revenue .  According to a report the UK receive only 5 per cent businesses from the EU.  If  PM David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne would invest that money into the country it would bring down the debts and the economy would overnight be in full swing.  It would cut unemployed which would save benefits.

The UK should also stop paying benefit for children living abroad.  Also stop paying for people, when they go back to go their own country, unemployment benefits and for their family.

That is where the Chancellor should apply austerity and it would bring the necessary money plus improving the economy.



Another great saving would be to stop getting involved in wars only because the Americans say so.  Harold Wilson was the only Prime Minister who said no to the USA getting involved with Vietnam and what a slaughter that avoided. Why did Tony Blair and now David Cameron not have the courage to do the same? Especially Cameron after he was defeated by the MPs’ votes with entering Syria. This time he did not held a vote, which was not democratic, and just went ahead.  Why, because he knew people had enough of war and he would be defeated again.  Cameron’s action not only cost the country a fortune but also created very deadly enemies which we would not have otherwise.

Already Mr Cameron is trying to scare people to death with the warning of a coming Global Crunch.  Is he also trying to divert their mind so he and his cronies would not be so criticised or trying to put a shield around himself and the Tories? In 2008 the so called "Credit Crunch" but orchestrated by top financiers Mr Cameron blamed the Labour Party. Now with his prophesy of a coming "Global Crunch" why does he not prevent it this time to reach the UK?

Looking back to 2010 Mr Gordon Brown survived one of the biggest crush and ended with a plus 1pc GDP within two years. Yes, he borrowed but he had to bail-out the banks.  Had he won the election the UK would not be in that sorry state and nor the people.  His last budget was very promising for the people. Why people had to turn their back on him is never to be understood especially after the Tories already reeked havoc under Margaret Thatcher? 

The same happened when Clement Attlee gave the people the NHS and a welfare state which was the greatest gift and as a thank you for their sacrifices. The next General Election you would have thought Labour would have won with flying colour but the voters turned their back on them and voted the Tories.  It was an ungrateful act and is still unbelievable.

CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE AUSTERITY PLAN LOST BRITAIN £240BILLION - Update 4 Dec, 2014

                                                                                                     
DAVID CAMERON AND
 GEORGE OSBORNE 
AS ROBIN HOOD 
BUT THEY REVERSED IT 
AND ROBBED THE POOR 
TO GIVE IT TO THE RICH
Britain has lost £240billion after the longest down turn in 100 years due to Chancellor George Osborne stubbornly sticking to austerity. Yet, nobody is there who holds them responsible for the "loss" of such a vast sum of money. All the big financial institutes, like IMF, European Central Bank, tried to make him change his AUSTERITY plan but to no avail.

The IPPR (Institute for Public Policy Research) a thinktank based in the UK and establish in 1988 and has a centre-left viewpoint. It produces research and policy ideas committed to up hold values of social justice, democratic reform and environmental sustainability.

The preliminary figure showed a 0.8 per cent improvement of the economy for the period of between April and June. Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne were jubilant and pointed out that it was catching up with the pre-recession levels. In other words their policy is working. However, the Office for National Statistics announced now the true figure of economical growth for that period which was 0.2 per cent.

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

This will not rock the world and definitely do nothing to improve the life for people living under the bread line.  After having squeezed the general public like lemons it is nothing to be proud of to only end up with an economy improvement of 0.2 per cent.

Millions of families are still suffering from low paid work. The cost of living have risen 1.9 per cent in the past year and it is six times faster than wages.

A remark from Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary, sums it all up: "Working people are working harder but getting poorer so if the economy is growing, it is not them feeling the benefit."

During the same time the Tory-led Government increased the list of super rich according to the Telegraph as never before. By now the gap is the biggest since Victorian Times. Well done Prime Minister and Chancellor.

HARD-UP FAMILIES FORCED TO SHOPLIFT FOOD




Britain’s top police officers claim that families are now so hard up they are forced to shoplift meat and cheese just to put food on the table to survive.  These people are not criminals and most of them have no previous conviction but they steal mainly food like meat and cheese. The police officers also state that they don’t do it to sell.

The Lancashire Chief Constable Steve Finnigan can also see that the situation will worsen.
Food banks also stating that people have reached crisis point.

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

It is an absolute disgrace for the government to bring its people down to such a state. It seems like the Victorian age returns but it is the 21st century and Britain is the seventh riches country in the world.  Yet the Chancellor George Osborne still plans to have more cuts in his next budgets.   It is not a question of any money being available because the MPs had a rise of £7,500 multiply by over 500 MPs. The very cost of the food and drinks is around £7million a year which the MPs and Lords could easily effort paying.  The MPs’ salaries are now around £72,000 per year plus free lunch, dinner and drinks plus all expenses being paid by the taxpayers.  That is were the cuts should be made and they wouldn’t even miss it.

The Lords, with almost 800 members, getting £300 a day when they attend the House of Parliament, free lunch and dinner and drinks.

The endless golden handshakes we read about to executive’s jobs and most of them cause nothing but ruin to their government department, chief executive of companies and NHS. A fine example is the chief executives of the two NHS hospitals which had around 1,500 deaths each due to negligence.  How can a Government agree to that? Especially with the NHS being financially hard-up and 5,000 nurses were axed.

The contribution to the EU of at least £20billion which the people demanding a referendum of IN/OUT but Mr Cameron flatly refuse. This money alone would not only bring the deficit down but also put food on the table.  The Foreign Aid which never reaches the poor of the countries but the pocket of the governments in those countries. People again demand to cut it down because of the fraud but Mr Cameron will not do so.  There is a long list of money going in the wrong direction and at the moment is a complete mismanagement.
 
The Government and Chancellor George Osborne got on their brain is cut back and cut backs. During the three years of the Government and their austerity it did not bring down the deficit on the contrary it increases constantly.  In spite of all Mr Osborne will again make cut backs in the next budget which will be in the following weeks.  He will not CUT BACK the absolute waste of money for a luxurious train HS2 which by now is estimated £60billion and by the time it is finished will be at least £100billion.  Money for such a white elephant is available. It would bring down the debts.

Huge amount of sums are also available for entering another conflict – Syria. Mr Cameron was ready to go with the USA if the MPs had not voted against it even so he still is willing to go ahead and waste another billions of pounds which the country can ill afford it.

Having said all this will the Government not has so much decency and compassion for its own people to ease their burdens and spend all that apparently easily available money on them.  For people being so desperate having to steal food or go to food banks should never have happened again after the Victorian times. Surely Messrs Cameron and Osborne must know what is going on.  Not to speak of that these people are the voters who got them into power and they spit in their faces.  DESPICABLE.

UK MPS IN LANDLORDS' RACKET - UPDATED 22 May, 2015



UPDATED: 22 May, 2015  --  In my opinion nothing had been done to stop this racket which cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds. Most of them are friends of Cameron and therefore a blind eye is turned towards it




UPDATE:  23 July 2014 -- As always when one scandal gets overtaken by other news the first one dies a natural death and sure enough nothing had been done apart from promises that they will stop renting. This again Mr Cameron and his Cabinet failed in their leadership to see the matter effectively through.

  

UPDATE 20 OCTOBER 2012  --- The latest news on the subject is that the MPs could (please note the word - could) be banned from renting homes from each other. The Parliamentary Watchdog promised to look into it and closing the loophole. It is amazing when their is a scandal there is always a Labour MP being pointed at. Although being Labour and for what it should stand for it is twice as wrong.



Already the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority indicated that MPs will still be allowed to claim rent at the same time as they letting their property to other tenants. So far 27 MPs had been found out to claim rent and letting their property to others. Apparently they also moved out of their homes into rented accommodation when the rules changed and they were not being able to claim for mortgage interest. 


A new revelation of MPs furthering their income is they are renting out their property to their own colleagues. Herewith they have a guaranteed income, the MPs who renting the property claiming it on their expenses and the taxpayer pays for it. This method ensures that the owners eventually ends with a well provided nest-egg not to say that these properties are most properly top of the list.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority is planning to expose the MPs Owners of the properties.  To be sure nothing was done so far and most probably nothing will be done.
=================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
=================================================

The Common Speaker John Bercow was totally against the disclosure for the reason of security and privacy of the MPs. Good story. In his letter to the IPSA chairman Sir Ian Kennedy he warned that the MPs have great concern to disclose the details under the freedom of information laws. He pointed out further that this could lead to a great security risk.

On the other hand the Security minister Mr Brokenshire voiced his opinion that if there is any wrong doing it should definitely be investigated.

Labour MP John Mann added that he has no problem with MPs renting out properties but the public is entitled to know.

Another revelation of which most of the people didn’t know or think about it. For the MPs it is not a bad little scheme to built-up a property empire through claiming it on expenses which again comes out of the taxpayers’ pocket.  The MPs certainly never miss a trick to fill their pockets. 

David Cameron should stop their expenses' claim as a measure of austerity. Especially now since they have a  great salary's increase besides they so many other incomes from non-executive directors to untold shares in various companies. Nobody can claim their rent, energy expenses and petrol on taxes yet everybody does their job so why the MPs are an exception?  When they go to meetings all expenses are paid for anyway by the people who organised it.

IF YOU THINK  ABOUT IT, IT IS A LEGAL SWINDLE AND THE TAXPAYERS HAVE TO PAY.

GAS PERKS REFUSED AND ELECTRICITY PRICE INCREASES

Update 15 August, 2020 -- 8 years on nothing has improved on the contrary its gone worst. After Cameron came May and now Johnson. By now 130,000 people, mostly OAP, have died of hyperthermia; 60,000 of CV19 because Johnson did not react and put necessary measures in straightaway; now we facing massive job losses, home evictions and recession. Johnson put the final nail into the coffin.

UPDATE 13 OCTOBER 2012  --  Npower will follow suits with 8.8 per cent and now the customers have no choice but pay and pay. This is nothing but racketeering. All big energy suppliers had bit profits last year and therefore there was no need for those massive increase.  Chancellor George Osborne made a big noise and show attacking the energy suppliers but other than that the government does nothing against them.  Also what is Ofgem getting paid for? They never do any

thing.

To crown it all it would be no surprise if the government cuts the winter fuel supplements now.

IS THAT WHAT DAVID CAMERON CALLS TO CREATE AN ASPIRATION NATION ?????

UPDATE 12 OCTOBER 2012 -- I only just stopped writing and there come the news of an increase of six or seven per cent in crease on gas.  Last year only it was increase by 10 per cent despite David Cameron had a meeting with the gas and electricity board promising he would make them hold the price. This government cannot cut wages, benefits and let the gas, electricity, food and petrol prices spiral sky high. How do they think people cope with and where they get the money from to pay for it all?

Next thing we read about the huge profits they made and bonuses they paid to their fat cats. 

British Gas gives staff a £200 perk on their bill. The whole top management has decided to turn down the perk and hope their top rivals will do the same. Although it wont’ be missed with an income of £1.3million a year for the chief executive Mr Sam Laidlow, his finance chief Nick Luff and British Gas managing director Phil Bently, their salaries are unknown but surely not far behind.

They feel like it is not necessary to receive this perk at the time of austerity. Although it is a drop in the ocean for the Centrica’s board but nevertheless a nice gesture. The rest of staff is still receiving their perk. The insiders pointing out it would still give the wrong impression.

Southern Electricity on the other hand will increase their prices from 15 October 2012 by 10 per cent. Furthermore, Ian Marchant refused to give up his staff discount in spite of receiving a salary of £1.2million last year. His bill will be cut by 12 per cent in spite of his huge salary; the customers will have to face another huge electricity price rise.

Mr Marchant commented that he thinks to donate his perk back to the company wouldn’t be very sensible.
Npower gives the staff £100 vouchers but wouldn’t comment whether the board members would take it this year.

E.ON stated that their chief executive Tony Cocker does not take the staff reward.

Scottish Power does not give their staff a discount scheme.

EDF Energy gives their staff £48 off their bills but couldn’t say if their chief executive took it.

Admirable as the refusal of the perks is but it is only a small contribution towards the company. The real impact is the bonuses for the top management and some of the staff which really adds on. Surely with around one million of pound a year salary it would be well paid for their work. There is no need for bonuses on top of it especially at hard times as they are at the moment. David Cameron always preaches austerity but he never whispers to cut the bonuses or stops them because most of them are his friends who donate to the Conservative Part which soon be rivalling with Fort Knox.

This austerity the ordinary people imposed by David Cameron and his Conservative Party is all wrong while the fat cats getting millions of salaries and bonuses. Again he does nothing to stop the increase of electricity. People already had problems to pay the bills and now a increase of 10 per cent will hit them hard and many will not be able to pay it. There is no need to aim for greater profits apart from the bosses get more bonus and the shareholders more dividends.

REMEMBER CAMERON'S SPEECH AT PARTY CONFERENCE 2012 == Update 3 October 2014


UPDATE: 3 October, 2014 -- In spite of it all the previous promises by PM David Cameron about the NHS which is by now half privatised. To emphasized it more the PM David Cameron spoke of his disabled son Ivan who died. Why does he speak about his son Ivan he does not show he means it?  At his speech at the Conservative Conference in Birmingham he promised again to increase the budget of the NHS and will not privatise it. He and his great Chancellor George Osborne also promised further cuts in benefits.  Promises,  promises and nothing but contradictions apart from the promises of cuts.



UPDATE 15 OCTOBER 2012 --  There are at the moment 1,000 disabled people who died because of the Disability Benefits being taken away. Some might not be the cause altogether but it is still too high a number to justify David Cameron's actions.


Well, people know now what to expect even he wrapped it up all in a fine worded speech with all emotional points. Hopefully the public will not be blindfolded either by Boris Johnston given them all a cheerful time, he too has that same believes and outlook as David Cameron.

David Cameron spoke about his son and father, both being disabled.  Yes, it must have been distressing and nobody will deny that but having experienced it so closely why does he cuts cold bloodedly the disabled people's benefit. It does not add up. Especially they have it much harder then David Cameron's father, being a multi-millionaire; they have to battle with the money and every penny counts.

He spoke of the Paralympics how wonderful and inspiring these athletes were but coming from David Cameron it is hypocritical. No doubt the athletes were but how can anyone sit there watching their determination to overcome the disability and cut their Disability Benefits at the same time. He is hitting and hurting the poorest of the poor. Yet again, he emphasised it in his speech that there will be austerity and further cuts have to be made. Therefore, these words about his son and father ring hollow and he never applies austerity and cuts to himself and the rest of them.

He was willing to spend £206million (updated £1billion) on a contract with a French firm ATOS not even an English company to create jobs. To send disabled people back to work. 32 (updated over 1,000) people died because of it and with 3million unemployment where have disabled people got a chance to get employed. 

==================================================

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

He spent £330.000 on a contract with a company organising wake-up calls for youngster to get them out of bed and back to work. Again where are the jobs? The majority would not be at home lying in the bed if there were any jobs available. 


He spent hundreds of million of pounds on a management consultancy to sack nurses and doctors at the NHS. Yet, if necessary at all it should have been the directors’ job of the NHS; there again if he spend that money on the NHS there would be no need to sack nurses and doctors.

There is a whole string of mismanagement were all of a sudden the money was there to be spend all the wrong way and that is were austerity should start.

Apparently David Cameron will still carry on with his original plan. The truth is that the ordinary people are already so cut down, there is no money to be cut. Already the food parcels are on a big increase which is a disgrace for a country and its people like Britain. . Unemployment is growing at an alarming rate.  After years in office the country has a 0.4 per cent deficit instead of yet another promise growth of 0.2 per cent but David Cameron talks of healing process. Where does this man gets it from? He still blames the Labour and yet the Gordon Brown handed the country over with a 1 per cent credit which vanished within two months.

He was talking about sink or swim. Well it is the ordinary people who sink and David Cameron and the Conservatives do the swimming. The party faithful gave him a standing ovation because they swim with him. This party keeps splitting the public into two sections and with a great gulf between it. Therefore, his famous phrase ‘we are all in this together’ he would not know what hit him if he had to cope with what he hands out to people.

The promise of a referendum after the next election is nothing but a promise again to catch votes. If he would mean it he would have done it all this time or at least now. He already promised it in the last election manifesto and when it came to it dropped it.

UK GOVERNMENT CUTS PENSIONERS' PRIVILEGES



This is now the last and lowest trick planned by any government. David Cameron, Nick Clegg and George Osborne plan to stop the free bus pass for Pensioners. Cutting down on the winter heating supplement which helps hard-up pensioners not to freeze to death which was the case before. Not to speak of the already so-called Granny tax which George Osborne introduced in his last Budget.

All this is really disgraceful to go so far and cut the very few little extras pensioners have.

From a start, if he stops the free bus pass does he not realize that all there will be pensioners not using the transport. Therefore he will not have any extra money or not that much because a pensioner cannot pay £2.20 one way fare and with coming back it will be £4.40. This is if you can go straight. If you have to change buses it will cost your twice as much. Now no pensioner can afford that and they only end up sitting at home. The other point is that these free bus passes are only used during the day when busses are practically empty.

Now the next point of cutting down or completely stopping is the winter fuel supplement. This will increase the risk of old people dying of cold and it was the reason for introducing the winter fuel supplement. Of course, our glorious top three they will not know what hardship is. All their life they lived off the fat of the land.

Let me point out something to these great 'gentlemen' who make one mess after another. Today’s generation of pensioners have fought for this country and endured great hardship because of the rationing. They should be getting all the comfort in their old ages because if they don’t deserve who will? They should be treated with the greatest respect because if they didn’t do what they done for Britain these three great 'gentlemen' wouldn’t be where they are. So how dare they treat pensioners like that? Knowing very well that they can't fight back with strikes and therefore have to take what is handed out to them.

At one stage not so long ago it was mentioned to tax bonuses which those fat cats undeservedly get. The suggestion didn’t last five minute and it was wiped off their plan. If they had gone through with there would have received some real billions of money. However, it would have cut their friends even so they wouldn’t even miss it. So why not go back to this point Mr Cameron, Mr Clegg and Mr Osborne. No, instead Mr Osborne even reduced the level of taxes to top earners. It was reduced from 50p, which Mr Brown introduced, to 45p and Mr Osborne made straightaway a promise to reduce it to 40p.

THIS  IS  THE  KIND  OF  GOVERNMENT  WHICH  SHOUTS

ABOUT  AUSTERITY  TO   BRING  DOWN  THE 

DEFICIT  BUT  WON'T  CUT  WHERE  IT  SHOULD  BE.
