The Big Society

[Captain Kong]

I have just watched RUSSIAN TV,
It was announced that Russia and India have just signed an Agreement.
India is to spend $3000,000,000 on arms from Russia,
that is £2000,000,000 of OUR MONEY GOING TO RUSSIA,. and we pay India to do that.
.
I just thought I would spoil your Christmas Day.

Here in Oz we have a Housing Commission,state run for low income families.It works the same as your county council. Some residents have lived in a three bed commission house or flat for most of their adult lives. Have raised families who have flown the coop and partners that have passed away. Now they are being told that this is unfair to those waiting on a list. The suggestion is that they move into a single unit of which there is a scarcity or share with strangers. This is causing great anxiety amongst senior citizens. Imagine the distress caused by the short sightedness of State governments both left and right wing who employ Town Planners that obviously cannot plan or are stifled in their work by a budget that favours the top end of town.
There is always money for sports from the state coffers but never enough for housing of the people who work and pay the taxes.

Neil,I wonder if Oz got the idea from the UK or did we get it from oz.Here I dont think the government are bothered if people stay in the house where they have bedrooms that they dont use,this is where the bedroom tax comes in.It only affects people who are in receipt of benefits and it will not affect OAP's.A person living alone with 2 bedrooms will have a benefit cut of 14% a person with 3 bedrooms will have a cut of 25%..I believe that there are some 300.000 people on Merseyside that will come into the catergory under occupied,there is no way that all of these people can downsize so it will be a reduction in benefits for them,I myself think that thatis the governments main aim to ge the Social Security bill down.

It was on Russian TV again about President PUTIN going to INDIA to sell Russian Arms to them, only $3,000,000,000.
We pay India millions in Aid so they can give it to Russia, what a good deal.
.
So while Cameron was poncing about in Parliamment trying to convert Churches to having Homosexual Weddings and Fox Hunting debates, Putin was out there selling and creating good jobs for the Russian People.
How many jobs here could have been created with a £2,000,000,000, order????????
.
Three weeks ago Angela Merkel the German Prime Minister went to CHINA and secured a £50,000,000 order for aircraft and parts.
How many jobs in the UK could have been created with an order like that.
2013, Mr CAMERON, YOU MUST DO BETTER,/OR ELSE.
.
The USA have just secured a $1,200,000,000 Order from South Korea for drones.
How many jobs could have been created in the UK with an order like that.
That is only the tip of the iceberg.
.
BUT I guess Cameron must get his priorities right. Look after the Homosexuals, it doesnt matter about the unemployed, it doesnt matter about the hungry queing at Food Banks, Because `we are all in this together.`
.
Happy Christmas Mr Cameron, Hope all your Queer friends appreciate what you are doing for them at OUR expense.
2013, Mr CAMERON, YOU MUST DO BETTER,/OR ELSE.

India power surge leaves UK lagging.

Britain will be overtaken by India in the league table of world powerhouses.It will outstrip the UK by 2017 and be the fourth largest economy behind the US,China and Japan by 2022.Britain is to slip from six to eighth place while Germany falls two places to sixth and France from fith to ninth.Russia goes up two places to seventh.

In the media last week. If you are over 70 years old you may be refused a life saving operation because of your age, and almost certainly if you are 75. But what do we see in the papers? A picture of Cameron smiling with Maggie Thatcher outside of No10 Downing St after her operation at the age of 87. "We are not all in this together" it stinks.

[Captain Kong]

I had two operations in the last two years and I am almost 78. I have never heard of an age restriction on operations, I was talking to my son tonight who is a Consultant Hepatologist, Liver diseases and transplants, no discrimination at all only if it does not make any difference to the patients prospects. It depends on the health, heart, lungs and so on, a patient could die on the table, there are a lot of factors involved, So Maggies op was not just for her, anyone who is fit enough for the rigours of an Op can have one.
Cheers

Good one John.
Sorry but I do not fully understand a bedroom tax,
What is it for,
Does that mean if I have three bedrooms I have to pay tax on the other two? If I use one for my office does that mean I have one spare bedroom and then if I use that one as Gym does that mean I have No spare bedrooms.?
It is only a bedroom iif it has a bed in it. So no tax , surely.
Have a nice one John.
Cheers
Brian.

I conclude that a reoom is only a bed room if there is a bed in it. Take the bed out and it is just a room, so put another toilet in and let a ploitician live there!!!
On the net just before Christmas, Cameron said that there would be no more aid for Indai as they are now able to fend for them selves. Or that could mean they have all left and are now living in Boltonstan.

Jim how can this country compete with half the world living on a few dollars a day and only a few creaming the profits of the labours of the masses. we in this country that actually live here are taxed to the hilt so its the what we call poor countries are creeping ahead of us and yet we are sending billions to them.jp

[Captain Kong]

Hi John
I have said it before,
It is `THE NEW WORLD ORDER`, all the Govenerments of the wealthier Nations signed up to it in 1975 , called
`LIMA AGREEMENT`.
The wealtier Nations send their Industries to the poorer Nations and spread work and wealth around the world.
The wealtier Nations, including Britain, can then afford to pay Benefits to the people who have lost their Jobs, and the
Poor nations have theiir poor people working in industry earning a living.
On top of that there would be a free movement of people around the world. such as Mass Migration from the Poor Countries to the wealthier Countries. thus doing away with boundaries and the thought is that that would reduce the the tendency to go to war, There would be no Nationalities, just people of the world.
So spread the wealth and the people around the globe like spreading butter around it, we are now all the same. [barzstewards.]
That was what was designed in the United Nations by men in suits and horn rimmed glasses who know more than the ordinary people.
Harold Wilson Signed up for it. in more recent years Gordon Brown also signed up a later edition of it.
There is Nothing we can do about it. We are Screwed and Glued.
Enjoy your day, things are about to get worse.
Brian.
