Time to tighten our belts?

Thirteen years of lies and treachery from Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have delivered us into the caring hands of Dave & Nick. We have moved from the Lib/Lab/Con Party to the Con/Dem Party. But that transition was not an easy or a smooth one. The people of England sent a strong message to the three main parties that they are not trusted to run the country. This message was heard by the politicians - and promptly ignored! The 7th of May saw the start of an unsightly period of ‘Horse Dealing’ and scrabbling to retain or obtain political power.

First of all we saw Gordon Brown and Nick Glegg deep in secret negotiation with each other, and it looked as if we would be faced with the unthinkable – another period of Prime Minister Brown. It then appeared, at almost the last minute, that Nick could obtain more power for himself if he sided with Dave, and consequently we now have a Government that is a mishmash of ideals and policies, ‘Sellotape’d together with the hope that it will help hold this government of ‘Unity’ together for more than a few months.

The biggest party in this coalition British government is of course the Conservative Party. Whereas the last government was headed by a ‘Mafia’ of Scots MPs who had no say in the running of their own country but perversely hold total sway over all matters relating to England, the Conservative party have no mandate whatsoever to govern Scotland, with only one Conservative MP north of the border. During the ‘Mafia’ days, it was ensured that as much wealth as possible was looted from the English taxpayer and passed over that border. Now, with a Tory lead administration, the loyalty of the Scots will be purchased by the passing of as much wealth as possible being looted from the English taxpayer and passed over that border!

The Prime Minister, the Tory one – not the Lib Dem one, has told us that, after having time to study the books, the situation is much, much worse than was first thought. That I can well imagine as it was clear to anyone who bothered to look deep enough into the shenanigans of the Labour government, that the primary intention was the destruction of the United Kingdom. We are told that the national debt is now £170 billion and that the interest will add another £70 billion in five years time. Dave went on to say that the remedy is going to hurt us all and that it will affect every person in the country. As I predicted long before the election,
my grandchildren will be lucky if this debt is paid off during their life times.

But need it really take that time to clear the debt? Need it hurt, quite so much? Need it hit our vulnerable quite so hard? Need it threaten so many jobs?

I believe that the solution is relatively harmless and much, much quicker than we are being promised right now. Of course, it is always in the interests of the ‘Ruling Elite’ to portray problems as complicated as possible to convince us ‘plebs’ that they are the only one’s who are capable of solving them. We, the common people, usually tend to touch our forelocks with deference and let them get on with it. After all, they know best – don’t they? Well, don’t they? I suggest not!

The government is looking to save money wherever it can. Jobs will go and benefits will be reduced, but the single biggest drain on the UK economy will not be touched. Surely, if we could find one expenditure that costs us over £45 million per day, that would be worth considering would it not? If we could find another way of saving England another £20 billion a year, should we not give that some passing thought?

It is a fact that the costs of belonging to the European Community (EU) are £118 Billion per year. The English Democrats are calling for a referendum to be held, to determine the wishes of the people as to whether we should withdraw from the EU. Of course, Premier Dave has promised referendum on various treaties relating to the EU – but then simply reneged on that promise. He lied then, so don’t hold your breath now, but of course, do tighten your belt because it is going to hurt. Over the last twenty years you, the English taxpayer, has paid over £200 Billion to Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland under a device called ‘The Barnett Formula’. Neither the Conservatives, Lib Dems or Labour, have any plans to cancel this arrangement which sees much, more per head being spent in those three countries than is spent on the
people who pay the money.

Stopping just these two payments alone would see our National Debt wiped out in just a few years, with no pain, except to a few overpaid and unrepresentative bureaucrats. There are of course other areas where it is possible to save vast amounts of money but I will mention just these two for now to illustrate how simple this ‘huge’ problem is to resolve.

For those of you who put your faith in Dave & Nick at the election, please don’t expect any miracles from them will you? Do however expect a lot of worry and a full scale attack on your pockets. For those of you who still put your ‘X’ against your Labour candidate, despite all of the signs – pop along and see your doctor whilst it is still free!
