BRITAIN'S £10BILLION FROM PROSTITUTION AND DRUGS -- Updated: 20 Sept.,2014


CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE
UPDATED:  20 Sept., 2014   --  This money coming from vile sources is planned to be included into the economy, now in the autumn budget. Desperately to show an increase in the economy.

Prostitution as such is not forbidden in the UK but curb-crawling, pimps, brothels are against the law. Yet, the Treasury accepts £10billion taxes coming from drugs and prostitution businesses which is against the law. 

This very fact explains why the Coalition is not fighting the drug lords. It is another shocking eye opener about the tactics of this Government. How much dirt is tolerated in Westminster or quietly encouraged? Prostitution had been around as long as human beings and most probably drugs too but it does not mean to tolerate it and on the quiet encouraging.  Especially drugs do destroy the younger generation and either they die of it or commit crimes like burglary and murder.

No the worst comes from the EU. They demand that the £10billion income must be included in the Office of National Statistics in Britain’s economy.  This dirty market is seen as a massive boost to Chancellor George Osborne raising the GDP. To get down to the correct figure statisticians will assess the rental value of brothels, sales of condoms and sales of clothes for sex workers.

 Regarding illegal drugs, the ONS will need he figures of production and sales of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, heroin, cannabis, ecstasy and amphetamines.  The information will include growing drugs or importing them as “production”. The buying of them for home use will be classed as “expenditure” and the sale as “income”.  This reads like a leaf out of the accounts from the Mafia.


This Coalition did nothing but ruined Britain and now they reveal trade of the worst. They get Britain down to the countries in Asia like Thailand which unfortunately was ruined by the American Army and now has a name for prostitution and drugs.

Can this Coalition, mainly the Tories, sink any lower? After this announcement of prostitution and drug trade seen as a boost to the economy is they really opened up the last door to being the worst.

It explains it all why the Border Agency does not act on tip off of drug mules.  According to the police’s reports it is as much as 2,000 a day.  According to the ONS it was already in 2009 an estimated £10billion for both trades. The real figure will never been known.

According to PM David Cameron in one of his recent speeches was promise that he will bring back power from Brussels. Is that what he was thinking of? Again Brussels dictates to the United Kingdom to include prostitution and drug trades in the ONS and this Government sees it as a boost to the economy. This mentality and non-existing principles makes every person in the street throw up.

This news  shows the “Government” for what they really are.  There was always prostitution and drug trade but to encourage it and use it as trade to boost the economy is unacceptable.  It can not be repeated often enough and soon enough to use your vote and not let it be wasted.  Use it wisely so Britain will get back to what it was a proud and decent country.

UK NEW UNIVERSAL CREDIT IN TROUBLE





The UK government seem to be over-ambitious to change all the systems. Yet, it never seems to be thought through properly or organised before hand. At the end it cost the taxpayers more money than it should be saving as the government always promised.

In spite of promises that the NHS would be safe in their hands no sooner the Conservatives were elected they started to sack 4,000 nurses and closed A & E departments. By now the Doctors and nurses are under huge pressure and the waiting lists are far too long. Next months NHS will be transferred from the Department of Health to a Trust which smells of privatisation. If it is it will not be for the better.

Last year the government announced to change the welfare into the biggest shake-up for generation. The government's flagship the Universal Credit supposes to bring all the benefits into one payment. So far when the government changed something it was always for the advantage of the government never for the people.

Now it was revealed that the government’s pride and joy the Universal credit is already in crisis. Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Liam Byrne is trying for the MPs to admit that the scheme is in crisis and to try their hardest to sort it out now before millions of family’s tax credits are at risk.

Furthermore, a report revealed Work and Pension s Secretary Ian Duncan Smith had to put back three of four pilot schemes which supposed to have started next month to July. 

As mentioned earlier in this report all this mess is not surprising and the public had it too many times with the coalition meddling and trying to change systems which had been there for decays and worked.  Previously with the Conservative Party only in power Margaret Thatcher turned the whole country up side down with privatisation of gas, electricity, railway, shipbuilding and cling down most of the coal mines. The result was that shareholders (guess who) made a packet and all these industries deliver a poor service to the consumers.  It also resulted to five million unemployed. Since they haven’t learned their lesson PM Cameron plans to privatise the Royal Mail, Fire-brigade and selling he RAF Search and Rescue Service to an American Company.

BANK OF ENGLAND IS REGULATING BANKS -- UPDATE 12 June, 2017




UPDATE; 12 June, 2017 -- So far there is no sign of it but it should be done to stop the bankers getting huge profits and fraud.

UPDATE: 10 March 2014 -- It looks doubtful re-regulation will happen under Mark Carney the new head of the Bank of England.  He seems to be very much on the side of the Tories. Although he should not be involving himself in politics and stay neutral.

It is regretful Mr King did not see it through before he retired. It needs to be done to stop the banks paying out 200 per cent bonuses. The major profit, according to newspapers' reports, comes from cancelling major loans and then re-issue them which is again a fiddle and costs the economy billions of pounds. For the Government to trumpet about to bring down the deficit is the biggest, sickest joke of them all.


UPDATE:  10 October 2013 -  Mr King had plans to return to regulate the banks again which stop a lot of fiddles and sky-high bonuses. However, Mr King has retired and the question is will the new head of the Bank of England honour Mr King's intention?




It seems that at long last some powerful officials are waking up to the mismanagement of banks for the last five years. It took them far too long and the damage it caused is far too costly. Ever since the de-regulation made by Margaret Thatcher; the banking system was going down and into a shamble. Before, the banks of England had the highest respect and were the envy of the world.

The non-stop scandals of sky high salaries, bonuses and dividends while the bank was showing a loss were incredible. Now as a final straw came the revelation of the Libor scandal.  Of course, the Barclays bank is not the only one and it is known that most of the major banks were involved. The question of why the Bank of England and the Financial Service Authority never seen it straight away will most properly never be answered.  The FSA did not take any notice of rumours about rigging. Wheatley review into Libor rigging should consider classifying manipulation as market abuse and making it a criminal offence.

A well known columnists stated months ago that these boys should not only be forced out and most properly with a billions of pound golden hand shake which certainly wouldn’t give the right message but they should be in prison and no golden hand shake. What they done is criminal.

Yet, when the Bank of England Governor Sir Mervyn King forced Mr Diamond out of Barclays bank he was heavily criticised by a powerful committee of MPs.  Mr King demanded to take on more powers and is again criticised by the Commons Treasury Committee stating it would be a return to the days where an “all-powerful” Governor could sack top bankers. Something has to be done and urgently and if a Governor goes power mad it is still better then the mess under which the bank operates today.  The mismanagement had certainly had a great bearing on Britain’s economic crises and banks and City are hoodwinking the public.
The Treasury Select Committee, chairman Andrew Tyrie stated: “Urgent improvements, both to the way the banks are run and the way they are regulated is needed if public and marketing confidence is to  be restored.”

Good regulation is needed and has to be build on clear-cut rules and transparency. Whether this will ever come about is hopeful but doubtful. There are too many greedy fingers in banks, city and government who all shared the spoil and they won’t let go that easily if at all.

It is still a secret club where with a number of nudges and winks over a cigar and brandy makes their power rule and the profit fall in their pocket. It had been whispered that banks withdraw credits from companies and set-it-up again and this would show as new business which means bonuses for the bankers. Whether it is true remains to be seen which will never be but it is plausible.

All these double-dealings contribute to high income for a few but brings the economy down which evidence showed over the last few years but didn’t seem to bother the ones responsible.

COALITION'S DOUBLE-DEALINGS -- Updated 6 June, 2015


UPDATED: 6 June,2015 -- Looking back at the diabolical record of Mr Gove one question remains:  Where did the money go? 

They still managed to end up with an added £500billion debts. Yet, they still blame the Labour party which had never created so much National debts in all their years, in government put together, as the Tories in five years. 


Nothing has change by re-electing the Tories. Even worse, they are now in full power not needing a coalition. They are now cutting the Welfare benefit by £12billion to balance the books. It is another con like Austerity


To start with the very fact of selling school playing fields is a disgrace. We just had watched the Olympics which shou muchld have been an encouragement to school sport because it is there were the athletes coming from. 


Furthermore, the Coalition again promised to increase school PE to two hours a week which is appreciated but not all that great. Again that promise was not fulfilled.

Now it emerged that the Coalition selling off school playing fields. It was revealed 31 school playing fields had been approved since 2010. It also came to light that at first the figure was quoted 21. The Coalition ministers had to admit at the end that they approved 10 more school playing fields when it was discovered.

 Ministers were also accused of double dealing because another promise which was given at the election “seeks to protect school playing field.”

The 31 school playing fields application for selling them off were submitted from May 2010 till July 22, 2012. Mr Gove, the Education Secretary overruled personally any independent advice not to approve the sale of the school pitches five times in the last 15 months. It proves the care, concern and stand-by their promise made by the Coalition.

DfE admits now that 2,000 academy schools can sell off fields without approval.

Shadow Education Secretary Stephen Twigg told Mr Grove he has to come clean about the “secret programme” to sell off playing fields. Mr Twigg pointed out that fields used by academy student should have the same protection as other schools.

It was further revealed that the Coalition changed their minds of demanding at least two hours PE a week in state school. To look at it in a realistic way even two hours is not a great deal and target to get children back into sport. They should have every afternoon one hour.

It amounts again to the same story “them and us” whereby surely no playing field will be sold belonging to top schools like Eton, Harrods, Cambridge University or Oxford Universities. The main reason for making this point is that the athletes do not come from these schools but from state schools. Therefore it should be a priority to improve and increase these facilities. As it is children can’t play on the streets any more and are too much in front of TV and computers.

So far the public had nothing but broken promises from the Coalition.

UK's MPs INSULTED WORKERS -- Updated: 6 June,2015


UPDATED: 6 June, 2015 -- The Tories had been re-elected despite their terrible track records and as a majority, only 12 seats. Now they have the full power and it most probably will be worse. Already plans for anti-strikes laws, selling the Royal Mail's properties, cutting Welfare by £12billion, Public servicing by £16billion, introducing fracking and the most probably sold off like British Petroleum to foreign bidders and so on.

It most probably be worse now since they have the full power and wore will come to the public. The Elite will increase by numbers and wealth.

Again MPs  pointed the fingers at unemployed people stating too many people prefer to stay in bed rather than get a job. On which planet are these MPs living?

The Tory-led Coalition for ever cutting work forces and there is a 2.5million unemployment. Admittedly there is always a certain number of unemployable but not all of the 2.5million.

Furthermore, to compare British workers with Asia is not very clever because it is a complete different way of life and working there.

The only good thing might come out of these offensive and inaccurate accusations are that the pressure might bring David Cameron away from playing computer games as it was revealed and make him kick-start the economy.

Apparently the root of all these talks lays with Lord Mayor of London Boris Johnson. He advised David Cameron to stop “pussyfooting around” and bring a big infrastructure projects, de-regulation and tax cuts.
 This advice makes sense, does it?.

They further accused Labour and yet Labour had about 1.5million at the time of the credit crunch where really the bottom fell out of the economy but by the time the Coalition took over Mr Brown got the GDB up to 1 per cent which quickly sank and by now has a double-dip recession with the mismanagement of the Coalition.

To cut constantly the Armed forced, Nurses and Civil servants while at the same time increasing taxes does not work in any economy.

Furthermore, David Cameron gave three or four major contracts to European Countries and therefore companies had to cut workforce. The Union was fighting hard to prevent it but the government in their arrogant way took no notice. 

The MPs should look at themselves when they call the British workers the idlers of the world. They themselves don’t look over-worked and underpaid. Especially with adding more expenses which should not be added or don’t exists.  A 33 weeks a year working in Parliament is not exactly killing themselves for the country.

Have they got legislation through about regulating the banks again? NO.  They talk about it all the time of the high bonuses and David Cameron promised in his election manifesto, he promised March 2011, he promised for September 2011, he promised twice this year to get it through. Of course, he would not dare because they are all the boys who donate to the Conservative party and his friend who get invited to garden party in Downing Street.

Has David Cameron made any attempt to retrieve the taxes from £39trillion in tax havens? He himself talks about it but does nothing again because they are the boys who donate.

These are hypocritical standards by the Tory-led Coalition.  Yet, to call hard working Britons to be the idlers of the world is so ludicrous and if it were not so insulting and hurtful one could laugh. These people are going through hell and high water to keep going.  Something a MP would know nothing about it.  The unemployed are trying more than their best to get employment but if the government can't provide enough jobs what can the ordinary workers do? There are student coming out of Universities with a string of top qualification and they applying to every place they can think off but can't get a job. It is so bad that many don't bother any more to go to the University they don't see the point to get into debts and can't get employment.
Therefore it is no good pointing at Indian children aiming to be doctors or lawyers when the government cutting the NHS to pieces.

Get your facts right first before you open your mouth just to be noticed because that is really what you are after to further your career.

Instead of criticising the workers it would more appropriate if the Coalition would work harder to bring back economic grows. It can be done with job creation and not with austerity.

ENERGY CIVIL SERVANTS BONUS 2012


Ever since this Coalition came to power there is nothing but increase of food, VAT, council tax, petrol, gas and electricity bills but they straight away the reduced the minimum wage which companies were delighted to follow, on the basis take or leave it. It is definitely not improving the economy as it shows the third recession this year. What are they trying to head for?

Another dirty trick, the government sits calmly back and let it happen.  Also another typical case of them and us. The high ranking energy civil servants are getting a bonus of £1m.

There was also an increase of their bonuses from £825,648 in 2010 and to £958,783 in 2011.

No matter how the public is complaining including some ministers the government will just not do anything about it. The whole idea of having a government is to control it all this. They have enough departments which supposed to be responsible to stop any overcharges and price rises but none ever do anything effective.

David Cameron made a great issue of a meeting with all the energy suppliers last year to force them to bring the prices down.Not only nothing happened afterwards but as a matter of fact the prices went up.

Now we even find out that the top energy civil servants are getting a bonus. First of all they don’t deserve any bonus because they just doing their job and they receive a salary. Secondly it is again only the top energy civil service, we were advised, and the lower ranking or office workers do not. W H Y?

The country is now in the third term of the recession and the ordinary families are more than struggling, especially with the sky high gas and electricity bills. Furthermore, it was already promised that there will be more rises in energy’s bills. The households have already been hit by an average of £200 increase.

Furthermore, the government is planning to stop the winter fuel supplement for pensioners. A generation who fought like hell for this country to prevent Hitler invading.  They deserve everything now to lead a worry free life in their last few years but what do they get from this Coalition all the benefits taken away.

THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

Furthermore, the government thought of some more cuts but now they call it replacements which they try to hood-wing us hoping the public will not notice it.

The £1.1billion grant scheme will be replaced with a £540million towards cutting bills. They really must be thinking the public is stupid but it only shows their arrogant attitude.  Ministers even had the audacity stating the Energy Company Obligation is more an efficient way to help the poor. Well even the biggest bucket of white paint will not white wash this.

IT  IS  ANOTHER  CUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COUNCIL TAX BENEFIT CUTS 2012


It is said they are planning to cut the council tax benefits. This would hit around six million households with low-income. These households either have qualified for no paying or reduced paying council tax.  It will hit the poorest or poor,

The infamous Coalition demanded from the councils to reduce the benefit bills by 10 per cent. This will have to be found either be reducing their service or payouts to poor families.

The chief of the Institute of Fiscal Studies, Paul Johnson, thought it could be done by either taking 10 per cent off the council tax benefit which causes more hardship but it will even cause more problems for families who receive a 100 per cent council tax benefit.

Labour peer Baroness Hollis called it completely unfair.

The Tory MP Bob Neil on the other hand thought it would give the councils a chance to get people back to work.

Which planet does Mr Neil live on?  Apparently he has no idea what it means to live on a low income and therefore shouldn’t put out remarks like that. Furthermore, has he ever look out of his Parliamentary window and noticed there are no jobs available. There is unemployment of 2.5million and they are not all scam and skivers as those sitting in the fat think. The people they are withdrawing any benefits from in order to so-called “get them back to work” is another smokescreen to cut. There has been cases in the paper and quite a number of it where people with all sorts of qualifications and experiences have written and tenth or hundreds of applications to avail.

SO WHERE DOES THE TORY MP BOB NEIL LIVE?

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?

DOES UK PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON THINK?



The statistic revealed that 625 local Council jobs get cut every day. The statistic might be slightly wrong but not to that extent. This is an incredible amount of job losses which are mostly women. It was also revealed the women out of work are the highest at the moment for 25 years.

Care Centres, libraries, Sure Start children centres, career centres for the young are closing down rapidly.
Even at their own Tories controlled councils there had been cuts and closures done never seen before.
Also these cuts might look good on paper but in reality 625 job losses a day and with no further jobs available they have to be supported by benefit. Being paid by benefit does not produce anything. Therefore, to put it plainly it is money thrown out of the window.

Of all these moves is there an idea for top firms take over all these services which would get as much profit out of it and they proved with all these other privatisation of services. At the same time while they fill their pockets the service is getting rotten. Surely that is so obvious that these top organisations are only in for it to get as money out of it.

Well, the Prime Minister had a good message when people voted overwhelmingly for Labour. However, the Conservatives and David Cameron don’t seem to accept the message and flatly refuse to change their politics.

Even the IMF was warning the UK to change and stop that austerity because it is only for ordinary people while the top never got rich in such a short time. The result also showed that the UK economy is going down.

The result of the government’s austerity is staring them in their faces. They had a double-dip in the last six months while Europe is showing a slow but definite recovery.

In the first few months when the Coalition came into power in 2010 Mr Osborne stated that unemployment is fallen and the economy rising and Britain is coming out of the recession. Although Mr Osborne was preening himself with it but whether he likes it or not it was the result of Mr Browne’s policy and the Labour party’s budget.  It was the result of handling that credit crunch perfectly well.
