John Ward January 6, 2014 BREAKING....THE COALITION''S AMAZING MULTIDIRECTIONAL ROWING BOAT

RUNNING BRITAIN: “We’re all in this, rowing together…..

….although not necessarily in the the same direction”.

If only we knew what they meant by turning the corner, wealthy retirees, years of, reassurance, lies, and control. Oh for the days of Tony Blair and his legacy….

I wonder, whatever did happen to The Chilcot Inquiry?

I know no one as brave and as fool hardy as me.
I always sail close to the wind and it’s always up stream battling the elements!
Slog knows!
And it’s only at night that I row gently down stream.
Thank you for your concern.
I appreciate it.

Another small inevitable result from the neo-con policies appeared over the weekend with the news that mental health nurses are to be drafted into the police service in order to sort out the problems with prisoners with mental health issues being held in police cells. We will ignore that 25% of the prison population that are really “lost” patients not criminals.
During the early nineties(93-93) I worked as a locum pharmacist , the agencies usually sent you to the the old Victorian “asylums” because that’s who were having difficulty in recruiting staff because they were being shut at an alarming rate and the patients transferred to what was laughingly called “there is no one too care in the community” and the sites sold to the property developers, for upmarket housing at knock down “brown field sites” prices.
When I returned from Saudi(2002) to the locum agencies again , there were virtually no “asylums” left so I ended up in general hospitals , were I witnessed the end game of “no one to care in the community”, as our staff spend all day chasing community staff and patients round the county to obtain their blood results to allow them to continue their Clozapine. For those of you who do not know what Clozapine is, enough to say you would not want to be around a schizophrenic patient who’s not been getting their Clozapine. Strangely the same practice was followed in the USA with much the same results, eg prisons filled with mental patients.
But who cares as long as we can make a killing developing the site and supplying over sized mortgages on the subsequent houses builds, that’s the neo-con way.

Honestly expect this Mr Ward without being told by the two entertainers Osborne / Carney in the circus.

Osborne – More cuts, economy contracts relative to the size of the cuts, anything of worth you don’t want vanishes.
Carney – Freshly created money through loans (QE is so in your face) the system inflates “growth” the magic trick.
Just an even bigger bubble with even less substance to support it then.
ALL ONLY AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THE BUST.
What the global economy is actually crying out for is the destruction of all the relative over leveraged bubbles “free trade”.
The UK inflated bubble is way to big to the likes of India / China for sure that reflects in 10x costs.
The bubbles are being revealed and amplified through free trade and the UK is a bubble relative to China / India for sure.
Does anybody else see the problem the likes of Osborne / Carney is not considering?

That if you drive the bubble bigger you keep and grow the problem where the only way to prevent the bust was to mark time economically, hold all you got that = no cuts, then pray for a miracle that India and China will inflate their cost base making it more equal to yours. Achieve that, you got the only win, forced to do it anyway unless you sacrifice free trade. Of course a lobbied LIBLABCON parliament is unable to see this principle. But hey their funeral right my little yellow,red and blue cotton socks that are now black as the ace of spades.

I know, I know, but I think cutting HB for under 25’s is a good idea. It is the landlords who set the rents, and they set the rents on what they can maximally charge the local council. Cut HB and I feel sure that the rents will come down, for all of us. And FYI half my monthly salary goes on my rent, more if you include the Council Tax. And I am on a good deal as I have personally known my landlord for years.

Abolish Housing Benefit (or, landlord benefit,as it should be called). Save £20 billion p.a. Watch residential rents for those properties fall.
