Some great points Kennyboy………let me add my two bob worth. I am single, just over fifty and presently unemployed and have seen jobs being advertised for less money than I was earning over twenty years ago for the same job and nearly all of them with no pension and no other form of conditions of service except the legal minimum of twenty days paid annual holiday (many of these ’employers’ even include bank holidays in the twenty days!) along with this the ‘job centre’ (surely the biggest misnomer in history!) appears to be staffed mostly by women who think work is a fashion show and were clearly educated at the school of common purpose and low empathy who address me with what appears to be utter indifference whilst looking down their noses at me and the other unemployed and asking me what I have done to find work! I blame two things (among many!) 1. US! The public, the Tax Payer and Society for sitting back and letting this happen whilst in most other European countries they have at least taken to the streets! and 2. Working Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits…..a scam invented by Government in collusion with big business to keep salaries low with a generous subsidy from the Tax Payer whilst these ’employers’ pay ever lower salaries and make ever greater profits. So what’s next? Well I don’t know what the answer is but I do know the way we are in this now dump of a country cannot go on especially with those in work terrified they may one day be out of work whilst, with the help of ALL political parties and the MSM, they blame the unemployed for the state of the country. Let’s all start the New Year by blaming the real culprits, The Government, ALL political parties, Big Business, the Banks and the MSM and realise that today, in the once ‘Great’ Britain of 2014, it seems the only difference between slave and worker is the spelling!

kennyboy if you’ve got anything to say my advice would be to get it off your chest.

Lon Nol, Diem and Ky…where they the half back line up for Blackburn Rovers???

Anyway, you missed the pantomime of 2014 ie the Scottish Ref from our Glorious Leader..El Presidente Alexo Salmondo.

Just to give you a taste of the intellectual content of this debate

The number one benefit we are going to get is …I kid you not…we are going get a load of lassies who are quietly sitting at home minding their children and we are going to send them down to the local job centre and give them jobs as child minders.

Econiomics as what she is practised now…

As they say…you just could not make it up

Kennyboy keep getting things of your chest as it is the best rant of 2014 so far…

Best to start the new year with no illusions whatsoever. Must say I’m selfishly in favour of open borders since I’m shopping for a new country, but I suspect this new relaxed attitude to immigration/refugees is to keep basket case countries (Zimbabwe for instance) going on the remittances of its employed citizens. No need for reform, tyrants of the world, remittances will keep the wheels turning.

Hello John,
I’ve been a member of the Slog for over two years. When I first found the site in 2011, I commented……. “John, a few months ago I stumbled upon your little community and was truly amazed at the consistent quality of your output.”……….
I’m still amazed at the consistent quantity and quality of your output. My only regret is that I don’t have the time to comment more frequently, the topics move onward so fast that by the time I’ve started to put together a few words, two, three or sometimes four newer topics have been posted. With New Year approaching, and in an attempt to catch up, I thought I’d try to beat the “Topic Curve” by putting a few thoughts together BEFORE you looked forward into 2014, rather than after. They include all the favourites: The Euro, Greece, Germany, Cameron and other lying politicians, Shills, Bankers, Warmongers, Forelock Tuggers, Traitors, Heroes, The Great Work, ….and more. And here they are.
For all those of you who are still awaiting the collapse of the Euro and the withdrawal of (a) Greece and/or (b) Germany, keep waiting. It isn’t going to happen. It NEVER WAS going to happen. No matter who is elected in Greece, they all have one thing in common…..their religious dedication to a united Europe with its Euro currency…….and their brotherly journey towards achievement of the Prime Directive of One-World government. No hardship, no financial catastrophe, no level of unemployment will be too high a price (for citizens) to pay to achieve this goal and no Greek leader wants to be known as the one who let down his/her colleagues in the pursuit of this Great Work. The only Greek party with the slightest intention of torpedoing this is Golden Dawn, now fighting for the party’s survival against the might of the One-Worlders and their media yes-men who are pulling out all the stops to smear, accuse, jail and ridicule the one nationalist party which dare challenge the Empire’s stranglehold on Greece. I said ages ago that Greece was the test-bed for determining how far ordinary citizens could be humiliated before fighting back (it seems there is no limit to what they will bear) so you can bet your boots that the same techniques will be used on the rest of Europe just as effectively.
As for Germany, if you entertained any thoughts about that country abandoning its role as current leader of Region 2, forget it. If you still have doubts, ask yourself why would Germany’s Chancellor Merkel even think about leaving the EU or the Euro project? Using the same techniques as Cameron, our Geli tells the volk that she is on their side, whilst carrying out the orders of Uniworld Elite. Like it or not, the route to a United World is straight ahead and Germany is in the European driving seat. That One World destination is the only thing that matters. We’re working to a rigid timetable here, folks. (A little more about Merkel later).
For those of you who still believe what your politicians tell you, keep believing that David Cameron will renegotiate the UK’s EU membership. And that he will give you a referendum. And that UKIP’s Nigel Farage is anything other than a shill. It won’t happen. While we are on that subject, Cameron and the other liar, Theresa May, as recently as two weeks ago, told the media that they would seek to block the forthcoming tidal wave of immigration from Bulgaria and Romania. They have had six years to actually take steps to design and implement restrictions to prevent abuses, but of course they have done sod all so far. With around two weeks to go before the planes and ferryloads arrive, May and Cameron now pretend that they are doing something. It probably came as a shock when even the Cameron regime’s partners (Clegg and Cable) couldn’t stand the out-and-out lies and window-dressing of May-Cameron and instead, Cable and Clegg went directly to the news media, telling the amazed hacks that both May and Cameron KNEW that their imagined restrictions were exactly that….imaginary, lies, deceptions and window-dressing. But then it’s no surprise. Both Cameron and May talk tough on immigration whilst having not the slightest intention of doing anything. Their true loyalty is to their masters and the Great Work. The Cameron regime, just like every UK regime as far back as Ted Heath’s, has worked hard to destroy any national pride and sense of nationhood……you can’t have a unified World until you have mongrelised every nation that believed it WAS a nation. They are well on the way to achieving that.
Within fifty years, we will be the new Red Squirrels, outbred, outnumbered, relegated to Reservations like the American Indians….a vague reminder of how the UK used to be before the New Communists decided otherwise. If you still think it won’t happen here, do a little research on Fiji…or better still, set your satnav for Page Hall, Sheffield, and go experience Britain’s destiny at first hand, right now.
I don’t blame the immigrants for wanting to come here. The ones I blame are the Heaths, Majors, Blairs, Browns, Camerons and all the other Useful Idiots, PC Brigades and national traitors.
Does anyone care? Well, the UK education system takes our children, “educates” them for six hours a day, five days a week, for eleven years, then turns them loose, unable to read and write properly and unable to calculate much beyond their Premier League heroes’ position in the league table. When you need to dissemble a nation, you have to make sure that the new generations are increasingly stupid and the UK education system can be justly proud of its contribution to the dumbing down of the country. A dunce population doesn’t ask questions, never mind actually demanding answers. Which suits our lying politicians perfectly.
The leader of our current regime flew to Afghanistan just before Christmas to tell our bemused soldiers that they could return to Blighty next year with…”Mission Accomplished”. Anyone remember what that mission was? In the beginning, another lying politician had declared that “we will build schools, bridges and roads and be in and out without firing a shot”. John Reid has a nice little number these days as chairman of Celtic Football Club. Don’t hold your breath for any of our gutless news hounds to go see Reid and challenge him about the bollocks he spouted a decade ago. BBC/ITV/Sky don’t do real news anymore, just entertainnews….for the edification of Joe Skysports.
If I remember correctly, the “mission” was supposedly to invade Afghanistan to prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for terrorists….meanwhile the Blair-Brown regime was welcoming to our shores the scum of the world…. I didn’t see many Government notices saying…”Terrorists need not apply” though. Mission accomplished, eh? Within two years, the Karzai government will have been dumped in the dustbin of history alongside the Lon Nol, Diem and Ky regimes. Anyone remember those?
It hasn’t all gone badly for ordinary citizens….. Cameron’s regime was delivered a swift and painful kick in the crotch when Willy’s War (in Syria) was voted down in Parliament, thanks to fine speeches from George Galloway and John Baron which helped many MPs to rediscover their vertebrae. We owe a real debt of gratitude to those MPs who stood up and told the warmongers to f*ck off. Shares in BAE Systems proved somewhat resilient but that company took the advice of its PR boys and most generously offered financial donations to Uk Military charities. I suppose if you are making a profit from the loss of life and limbs in Helmand and Basra you can spare some dosh from the kitty….and it went down moderately well with the shareholders, too, although some grumbled at their company being associated with the visible results of their moneymaking from death and misery.
The thought of BAE paying blood money led me to develop a suggestion to George RobsOne for his next budget. Why not privatise the UK Armed Forces and hive them off to a conglomeration of weapons manufacturers, oil companies, mining interests and assorted tyrants? After all, that’s who they actually fight for right now, don’t they? And RobsOne would then be able to cut another 5p from top-rate taxpayers AND give more to the banking system, as well as reducing Corporation Tax for, erm, companies like BAE. You see, everybody wins, I’ll tell him. If he had any nouse whatever, he could cut the deal AND build in a clause whereby his regime’s Treasury could receive a “cut” from the proceeds (spoils) of all future Corporate wars! Or maybe not. His civil servants most likely wouldn’t know how to negotiate such a clause.
Talking of wars, please don’t think that our involvement in Syria is completely off the table. It has been on the agenda for 15 years and the vote in Parliament was only a temporary hiccup. Syria, and then Iran, are still in the Empire’s “Things To Do Tomorrow” folder. “And how will I know when these two targets are back at the top of the agenda?” I hear you ask. Simple. All you need to do is keep your eye on Israel and the US State Department. When either (usually both) start to talk about “serious negotiations” with the Palestinian leaders, you KNOW there’s a war on its way.
Earlier this year, I believed that there was one other “victory” for we citizens but sadly, it turned out to be a disappointment. It was the initial excitement which followed the release of several interesting documents from Edward Snowden’s back catalog. I thought that when Joe Public realised the extent of NSA monitoring of everything we did, there would be real and tangible rage and anger. There wasn’t. Instead, Joe and Jane Public revealed their secret identity, and it turned out to be Joe and Jane SkySports..they weren’t interested. Nice try, Edward but you badly underestimated Homo Moronicus. Even our favorite fridge magnet used the event to her own advantage. Angie Merkel used Snowden’s revelations to feign annoyance when the papers revealed that her ‘phone had been tapped by the USA’s spooks. “How Dare They?” she said. But Geli wasn’t really as affronted as she made out, seeing as the NSA’s Bad Aibling listening post is just down the road from the Reichstag. The odds are that she knew full well the extent of monitoring but took the opportunity to convince everyone that “she didn’t know about it”. Now where have I heard that before? (Clue….Germany, circa 1945).

On a lighter note…..if you like puzzles, here’s a few for you. From the 1950’s and 1960’s and to some extent up to the millennium, the Uk could afford to send its students to university, NOT with a loan, but with a GRANT. Nowadays, a would-be student will need to find £20k to £30k.
Q. Where’s the money gone?
During the 1950’s and 1960’s and to some extent up to the nineties, the Uk had if not an excellent, then at least a pretty good National health service. Now, it’s broke and descending into chaos. This, despite National Insurance revenues rising in line with rising populace.
Q Where’s the money gone?
Up to the 1990’s, roads were well-maintained and kept pace with the rapidly increasing volume of cars, vans and lorries. Despite the huge increases in revenue from vehicle excise duty, roads are in a worse state than some third-world countries.
Q. Where’s the money gone?.
The population of the UK has gone from 52 million in 1960 to 62 million in 2011. According to the ONS, unemployment has remained fairly stable. Taxation should have boosted the Treasury’s coffers hugely and we are now told by the National Traitors that we NEED a bigger population to support an aging populace. But care homes etc are closing down and/or becoming unaffordable, so:
Q. Where’s the money gone?.
From the end of WWII through to the end of the 1980s, we used to train our young people and give them apprenticeships. We also used to skill-train over-21s who showed aptitude, via a network of government training centres. Both of these were funded via Government from a training levy on larger employers. Now, young people pay for their further education and the GTCs are long since closed.
Q. Where’s the money gone?.
In the 50s, 60s and 70s, a married man could afford to buy a car, a house and maybe a holiday abroad, while his wife stayed at home to bring up the sprog. Now, both parents work, delay raising a family, are up to their necks in mortgage debt, terrified that interest rates may go up by one or two percent from an all-time low. However, they still cheer whenever the Daily Express headlines read…”House prices are on the way up again.”
Q. Where’s the money gone?. (And for the reasons why they cheer the Express, go back to the comments on education).
If you really want to know where the money’s gone, here’s a few pointers:
– £5 billion a year on the futile Afghanistan venture – £60 billion to date:
– £10.5 billion for the Voyager aircraft fleet:
– £2 billion to “liberate” Libya from tyrants:
– £5.5 billion for 2x aircraft carriers, neither of which can carry aircraft, one of which will go straight into mothballs:
– £1 trillion in bank bailouts and QE:
– 7x Astute-class submarines at £1 billion each:
– Iraq involvement. No figures released but estimated between £7.5 to £10 billion:
– Nimrod aircraft – 9 planned, three built, none flew, all scrapped. Cost £4 billion.
If you want to do the sums, don’t forget to include the scrapped government IT procurement and feel free to add all the other waste, fraud and mismanagement by Blair, Brown and Cameron regimes.
Apart from more wars, bad banks and bonuses, want to know where the money will be going very soon?
How about High-Speed Rail? This project, which will cost ordinary citizens at least £60 Billion to complete, will be the icing on the cake for the Empire’s captains and apparatchiks. It will provide them with exclusive service (no plebs on their trains) to and from the Capital at YOUR expense because although you will pay for the project, you certainly won’t be able to afford the cost of a ticket. Do remember to doff your cap every time the train whizzes past….in the best traditions of forelock-tugging. Those bankers, politicians and other assorted cheats, spivs and liars will no doubt appreciate your gesture. As for that £60 billion estimate…it’s much higher than what the Regime says, isn’t it, Kennyboy? It is…but I reckon my figures will be far more accurate than the bare-faced lies the Elite has told you so far.
Finally, enjoy what you can while you can………2013 wasn’t all bad, 2014 won’t be much different.
Kennyboy
