Duh!

Morrisons are creating new jobs! WOW, now all those university graduates with useless degrees can get work experience at Morrisons, learning "retail craft food skills"... yes, you too can enter the "Fresh Food Academy".

Alternatively, you can sell complete crap at Poundland!

This is the governments new work creation scheme.

What happened to technology, science, research? 

Oh yes, that;s right, this generation are educated morons!

Food Police

The blogosphere is masticating over the latest completely insane plan for employment creation!

The Food Police also known as "Food Champions" is the brainwave of that idiot organisation WRAP who have already wasted £4million of taxpayers money on their "Love Food, Hate Waste" campaign. The innovative scheme begins tomorrow. As I understand it, after one days training "The Champions" will knock on 24,500 doors in an effort to show us how to save money on food.

"Tim Burns, from Waste Watch - the contractor carrying out the scheme for WRAP - said: "Food waste has such a high impact on climate change and it is something we can all do something about."

Tim, FUCK OFF...that's what alot of people will be saying to these idiots knocking on the doors in the area. I can't help feeling uncomfortable about the fact that if they find obese children in the home, will the parents be reported for child abuse?

I just wonder what happens to the out of date food that the supermarkets have to get rid of... here in Spain, one of our local cut price supermarkets leaves it nicely packed and intact in recycling bins for the poor to help themselves! What a great idea, isn't it, but then the Spanish Govt are quite good at ignoring the EU, perhaps the UK should learn to do the same!

PLEASE!

Would somebody kindly explain to me why this government are still in power? I have no idea how bad it has to get for a government to be ousted.... how bad?????

What does it take? I don't understand why they are still in power.

If someone can enlighten me, please... do!

The Telegraph

Is The Telegraph short of real stories may I ask? "Recession will prompt rise in domestic violence."

More women will become victims of domestic violence as the recession heaps greater strain on families, the attorney general, predicts. Patricia Janet Scotland, Baroness Scotland of Asthal, PC, QC

I'm a bit baffled why this is a news item? We know all this already! We know that since Labour have been in power, more people are on anti depressants than ever, more people drown their sorrows at the weekend, more people are taking drugs, more people are unhappy. Its called a "depression" and we've all been in one since Labour came into power!

Harriet Harman needs a good slap!

Harriet Harman, the Leader of the House of Commons, has been criticised for suggesting that pensioners concerned about their savings should be grateful for the Government's generosity.


After this Labour government have plundered private pension schemes, raised "stealth" taxes so many times I've lost count so the cost of living has soared, this woman has the cheek to say that!

ACTUALLY MS HARMAN : Pensioners' income from savings is £130 lower than when Labour came to power more than a decade ago.

Iraq

I don't believe Gordon Brown when he says the troops will be out of Iraq next year. I think he's lying. I think everything thats being promised at the moment is a lie... to get votes.

GREED

I think the early 21st Century will go down in the history books as the era of greed. Greedy bankers, greedy politicians, greedy consumers (although, if the banks hadnt been allowed to give so much easy credit to consumers, I doubt whether many would be in so much debt now).

Funny though, how its only the small people that actually get punished. As Cameron said yesterday the Americans are going to jail people over this. Why aren't we?

Another thing that really confuses me.. why haven't the Labour Government been thrown out for gross incompetence over this? Why are they still in power even though they are still lying on DAILY BASIS.

I don't understand whats going on anymore.

Ungrateful Bastards!

Why not just kick Gordon in the bollocks! I would love to.... after all the money Pakistan have received from the UK....

"Britain denied access to Mumbai suspects!

Pakistan will not let British investigators question suspects detained in Pakistan over the
Mumbai terrorist attacks, the Prime Minister said today.

Gordon Brown asked for access to the suspects during a visit to Islamabad yesterday. But his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani said today he turned him down.

Gilani said in parliament he also told Brown that 'if there were any proofs, these persons will be prosecuted under the law of Pakistan,' Gilani's office said.

India has blamed a Pakistan-based militant group called Lashkar-e-Taiba for last month's attacks in Mumbai, which killed more than 160 people, including three British citizens".

I am again "Gobsmacked"... Lets hope Pakistan has some interesting punishments for terrorists...

Those on Benefits...

Could there have been a worse possible time to announce that those on benefits had to find jobs? How many jobs is Gordon going to create? How much is this scheme going to cost? How long will this realistically take? What planet is he living on?

Hee hee!

I feel a little smug.. I am half German (the proud half, as the other half was destroyed by NuLabour). The Germans have ridiculed UK policies! Mr Brown should listen, the Germans have some experience of deflation (I had a stamp given to me by my Oma (granny) that cost 2 million marks as a young girl)..

Of course he won't listen, because he's delusional and completely insane!

WIBBLE!

Tired

I was thinking today about all the things that are making me so angry. I realised why alot of people just give up. Its hard when you have to work and think of all those "normal things" to keep fighting. Its quite exhausting. I wouldn't mind if I thought it was doing some good, if I thought my objections to NuLabour and my warnings to the Conservatives not to become too dictatorial were going to help. We seem to fighting an almost impossible battle.

I find it hard to post, basically because I'm angry about so many things, I just get tongue-tied.

All I know is, things aren't how they should be, I feel its all going wrong. Something ominous is happening and I (like alot of others), have to say my piece.

Death of a Democracy

This post is inspired by the arrest of Damian Green. It's a subject that concerns us all and has become increasingly serious since NuLabour have come to power. As each day passes, I am astounded at the pace at which the government seem to be taking over each aspect of UK life.

NuLabour can hardly be accused of being a moral, ethical party so to have this poor man arrested by anti terrorism police is absolutely an overstepping the boundaries of normal police power. Mr Green has a wife and two children, what on earth must they be thinking?

If this is an attempt by NuLabour to discredit the Tory party in any way, then I am sorry to inform them that this has backfired! All they have managed to achieve is to convince the electorate that they are indeed living in a police state and rapidly speeding down the road to a communist regime.

Dumb Kids!

I have just finished watching Newsnight on the internet and one particular story caught my eye. Phil Woollyarse (smarmy git), discussing the merits of the new points system for immigration (as if we don’t have enough of them already). There’s a list of various shortages, most of which seem science orientated to me.

There’s quite a long list : Biological Scientists & Biochemists, Physicists, Geologists, Meteorologists, Civil Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Medical Practitioners, Dental Practitioners.. anyhow, you get the picture.

Upon perusing the online papers (I’d buy them, but walking around with The Daily Mail tucked under my arm in a Spanish town, is a dead giveaway of non integration and I do like to mingle). I discover that both The Times and The Independent are reporting on the failure of our current education system to teach Science properly.
What happened? I can only assume, our “dictatorship” in its efforts to convince everyone that their new community schools are preferable to the old Grammar/Secondary school system which I was educated in, was fiddling the figures (God forbid). They still, as I understand it, are desperate to abolish any Grammar schools which still exist.

“0%: That is what this year's top science pupils would have got in 1965!"

"High-flying GCSE students set for an A or A* pass scored zero points in a mock science exam which included old O-level questions. The two-hour exam, devised by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and named "The Five Decade Challenge", included questions from past science papers spread over the past 43 years.

The results published today showed the older the paper, the fewer marks the students scored. For instance, the average score for the 2005 paper questions was 35 per cent, compared to 15 per cent for the 1965 questions. Overall, the average score was 25 per cent but the RSC said some children scored no marks at all. The RSC called the test, taken by just over 1,300 of the country's brightest 16-year-olds, the first hard evidence of a "catastrophic slippage" in exam standards” (Independent)

QUESTIONS : Why have they fiddled the figures? If the government has put so much money and effort into schools, why haven’t the figures ACTUALLY improved? Are science teachers just crap teachers? Does the government interfere so much that they can’t just get on with the job of teaching? Do we have too many kids per teacher? Do we pander to the less able while the more talented are ignored?

MY OPINION : In my opinion comprehensive schools were the worse thing that happened to our education system. It was one of the very first “politically correct” policies I can remember disagreeing with.

In order for thick kids not to feel like complete moronic failures, we failed to give enough attention to the bright, gifted ones that worked hard and deserved the best of our teachers and resources.

Also seems ironic somehow that one of the reasons our schools are probably so bad is the fact that teachers have to try to communicate with immigrant children who can’t even speak English!

CONCLUSION : TIME FOR THE RETURN OF THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL where the brightest, more able of youngsters can be nurtured, or we will not be able to compete in a global market.

I'm not going to shut up.

I am not going to shut up, I refuse to. I have had enough! Like many others, I feel as though my very thoughts have been censored and I have been made to feel like a criminal for having them. Our current government’s behaviour towards the British people has been abysmal during their time in power.

They have neither served nor listened to us on any issue, policy or given us the chance of a referendum or vote on anything and now the very freedoms that we hold dear in our democracy are about to be ripped from our still beating hearts!

The British people are constantly being accused of being apathetic towards voting and taking an interest in government policy making. Can you blame them?

They tried to tell the government they didn’t agree with the war against Saddam. A couple of million people demonstrated and many more supported them. How did the government respond?

They were treated with utter contempt and subsequently ignored.

As it turned out, the people were absolutely correct!

As a consequence of ignoring those “apathetic voters”, we are now living in a completely different world. A world filled with terrorism, extremism and paranoia.

So, I will have my say. I will not be politically correct or bow down to human rights, health & safety, anti racism and the vast conundrum of anti’s, rules, laws, policies and sheer lunacy that has become Great Britain.

If you are offended by any of these themes, I expect you to press the “go to the next blog” button and leave me in peace. This is MY soap box, my piece of sanity. If you stumble accidentally and decide to stay, then I welcome your comments, whether you agree with me or not.
