Looking at the spectacle of our elected representatives with their greedy little snouts firmly in the trough, grabbing everything they can, it is obvous that something has to be done to bring this whole thing back under control.

I think I have a solution, while it is true that there have always been self centred, self serving members of parliament the real rot set in with the rise of the career politician. We now have a large number of MP's who have never experienced the real world, they have gone straight from education into politics and are weaker as a result.

I suggest we adopt a procedure that works well in the British military where regardless of how good or bad you are at your job the longest you can stay in post is 3 years. Remember even the President of the USA can only do 2 terms.

We should limit the tenure of MP's to a maximum of 2 terms and then out into the real world with no possibility of return.

This would work for a number of reasons, it would be self policing because there is the certainty of an end date where their grubby little secrets and deals would be revealed, they could not view it as a career, just a service to society and it kills of the complacency of the sitting member in a safe seat.

I have a good example locally where the MP is one John Bercow. The reality is that if the Conservative put up an orange jelly as its local candidate it would be elected. Bercow has a job for life and boy does he know it, he does arrogance and complacency for Britain. The result is that even though my natural tendency is to support the right of centre, I am disenfranchised because Bercow only ever does what is good for Bercow, not what is good for the electorate. A socialist voter in this area may as well be stripped of their vote for all the good it does them and thats not healthy in the long term because they just lose interest.

In addition to the simple restriction of the maximum term, if we only allow MP's who already live, or are prepared to move at their expense, in their constituency we don't have to buy them a house. We could buy a serviced apartment block close to Westminster and when in the House of Commons they could book a room. Funnily enough this is how it used to be with Dolphin Court in Pimlico.

Finally to complete the tidying up process we need to recognise that the number of electors making up a constituency is way out of date.
In a world of instant communications, internet, email and blogs an MP is perfectly able to look after twice as many voters. So instead of an average of 67,000 voters per constituency lets make it 130,000 which with an electorate of some 44,500,000 makes 341 MP's.

Thats a reduction of 318 of the greedy bastards, saving us all at least £160,000,000 per year and approaching a billion per parliamentary term.

Lets take our democracy back.

Well, I thought just go the other side of the world for a while and when I come back the insanity that is the UK will have at the very least stabilised - some chance !

So here I am back and incredibly the Brits have still not quite worked out that Brown and his clique are just dishonest, they care not a jot for the UK populace, they are merely determined to stay in power for as long as possible by whatever means it takes.

Rule One with these guys -take absolutely no notice of what they say, it will at best be a distortion of the truth, but keep a very, very careful eye on what they actually do.

Lets look at what has been done in the last 5 months, billions have been poured into the banking infrastructure - why ? the UK is a broadly capitalist society, you cannot have capitalism in parts because it doesn't work, in the same way you cannot just use parts of Keynesian theory. The banks should have been allowed to fail as the strong and surprise surprise better run one would have picked up the failed ones for a song. Consequently the crisis caused collectively by negligence of the banks management,the FSA and Brown would have been over in days. Perhaps more importantly the people who caused it would have got their just desserts. You can't get a £750,000 pension out of a bankrupt company. Is it I wonder coincidental that the worse culprits were The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Halifax Bank of Scotland, is this a Scottish plot to destroy England

But Brown and his " regulators" couldn't allow the collapse because it would have revealed their complicity in the failures.

They claim that it is in line with economic theory for the state to spend when in recession, again selective use of the theory, which in fact suggests that Governments build up surpluses during the good times to spend during the down part of the cycle.
Having borrowed like crazy during the boom Brown is trying to borrow even more to spend his way out of the bust. Big big problem Gord, first it gets ever less likely that anyone will lend you money and at some point future generations have to pay it back.

Although the latter is made easier by the elephant in the room, the huge lie that no one dare mention, now that Gord has pressed the Zimbabwe option on the great money printer in the sky the rate of inflation will inevitably rocket at some point in the near future, destroying the debt.

So Gordon you have now made a clean sweep, first you stole my pension, then you stole my income so that you could get your hands on my money for nothing (who else benefits from half a percent bank rate other than Government)now you have set in motion the process to destroy the value of my,and everyone elses, savings

In any other country this Government would have been driven from office by now, but the Brits seemed to have been hypnotised.

Wake up guys its not too late, yet.

As a part of my normal business I keep an eye on the official list of company insolvencies to see if there is anything worth buying to add to our group.

The daily listing has, over the last few years, averaged 5 or 6 insolvencies a day in the area that interests me.

Todays had 36, thats 36 collapsed organisations and goodness knows how many people joining the dole queue and 36 times the number of suppliers that each organisations will not be able to pay, putting those suppliers under risk of going under through no fault of their own.

Interesting to note that 19 of the 36 were associated in one way or another with property.

So while Brown sits in denial on a beach in Southwold those who actually do the work and created the wealth that he and his cronies have pissed up the wall are burning on the bonfire of Browns vanity. Not that he gives a shit as he is protected from the consequence of his failure

Isn't it amazing, the capacity for the media to add 2 and 2 and get 5.
The BBC reports today that:
"The number of new mortgages approved for house purchases has fallen to its lowest level since current records started, Bank of England figures show the credit crunch has reduced the availability of mortgages, especially to those house hunters who are unable to offer a large deposit".

Err excuse me but it ain't necessarily so. The previous free for all in home loans fuelled by ever rising house values had turned the UK's homeowners in to amateur property speculators, now they are faced with falling values so, sensibly, they do not want to borrow to fund a loss.

The result is that only those who need, rather than want, to move are moving.
Subsequently the number of loans approved has dropped, well they would wouldn't they.

What is not reported is the number of mortgages applied for that were rejected, as this is the only figure that would throw light on the true situation, but hey that wouldn't make such a good headline would it ?
can't really see the BBC running " UK Homeowners Behaving Sensibly " as a headline

Evidence of the way in which the UK has developed parallel societies that have very little understanding of each other continues to accrue.
I read today that 600,000 "council staff" have walked out and are on strike for 48 hours because they are not getting an acceptable pay increase.

Brings a few obvious observations, I note the use of the terms "council staff" presumably use of the term "council workers" would have been struck down under trades description because the idle bastards don't actually do very much apart from enjoying already too high salaries and ridiculous pensions without degrading themselves by actually working.

This has caused a real dilemma for a council employee in the village, because she has been off on full pay claiming stress & anxiety from the local district council for 6 months.
should she now strike for 2 days and stop going out on the town every night or holidaying in Spain as she has so far for the period of her sickness

They are to thick to realise that few people will even notice they have gone on strike because their contribution to day to day life is so little.

Just another example of the new labour ruling classes being divorced from reality.

yesterday I read that women employees will now get 12 months paid leave if they have a baby, so how does that work then ? from where is the poor old employer supposed to get the money to pay not only the person on maternity leave but also the person doing the job they have left behind.

When did it become my responsibility to subsidise someone else desire to breed ? and why ?
where does this end ? if I make a life choice to become a drug addict or to go in pursuit of finding myself should I expect my employer to pay me for a year ?

This argument of course goes full circle because as with council staff we seem to be moving ever faster to a position where people want the salary but not the work that generates it.

It just gets worse & worse.

The economy is collapsing around our ears as the population holds its collective breath waiting for the pain to reach them and what great display of leadership do we get ?

The Brown One announces that we should try and shop properly and not waste as much, now there is a patronising attitude.

I thought at one time that this guy knew something about economics, does he really believe that the way to keep business confidence is not to alter the one thing that could help which is fuel duty because every single item in the shop got there on a truck or van.
But no lets persuade the populace to lessen their expenditure because then he selfishly keeps his income but the retailers and their suppliers lose theirs.

so what happens next, well we had a good example last week, M & S food sales dropped 5% causing their share price to drop 32%. So Brown wants to do this to every retailer - brilliant - what a fine leader

Sadly however he is not the only one who seems to be living in a parallel universe, the good old Church of England has now decided to show how up to date, relevant and right on it really is and instead of nailing its colours to world peace, it wants to ban women from being Bishops - what !! Where have they been for the last 100 years, in any case isn't that sort of discrimination illegal.
Great message guys - you can be a practicing homosexual but you can't be a woman. Small wonder there are now empty churches all over the UK

I keep trying to hide away in the hope that The Brown One and his henchmen can't find me.

But this also meant that I was denied the opportunity to pass my opinion on him and his regime.

So here I am.

Well what a lot has happened since I last put my thoughts to the page. sadly none of it good.

In the light of the recent ever increasing knifings, I looked back at something I wrote last year in which I suggested that each of the little bastards who thought it was big and clever to carry a knife should be sent immediately to Iraq or Afghanistan.
We could all see how hard they really were when faced with a founder member of the Taliban determined to slice their throat from ear to ear and hack their heads from their shoulders.

I suspect the answer would be not very hard at all.

At the time I was attacked as some ultra right lunatic, I suspect there may just be a few more who now agree with my view.

I threw the radio across the room last week when The Brown Ones voice announced that inflation was 3.3%, IN WHOSE EFFING WORLD !!!

If Good Old Bob Mugabe has achieved anything in this world it is proving that printing money and increasing the money supply in circulation causes inflation. In the case of Zimbabwe the printing presses are running red hot and inflation is approaching 1,000,000%
If you would care to dig through the archives of the Bank of England you will see that the Brown Regime (they also rig elections) have been printing money at the rate of about 13% over the last few years.
Those of us who live in the real world, who have not got the benefit of huge salaries, bloated expenses and ridiculously large pensions to look forward to, will recognise the figure of 13% as a far more accurate measure of the true rate of inflation.

So all you little people, just remember that the arseholes that you elected are all firmly of the view that you have TWAT or worse tattooed across your forehead.

When you face the day with not enough money to get you through until tomorrow just remember that the guy who caused it has made himself and his regime immune from the effects of his incompetance and rejoice in the fact that "He is listening to you and shares your pain"

I have been travelling for quite a while but have now returned to the UK - Oh What an unbridalled joy it is to be back.

I had completely forgotten what a band of wankers we have as a Government.

My first piece of news on returning was delivered by some miserable cadaverous Scot who said without a hint of irony that inflation in the UK is 2.1%. I then filled up my vehicle with diesel the price of which had increased by 15% since December 2007. next task fill up the heating oil tank, price is up 20% since last Spring, OK well lets open the post, Council Tax bill " only " increased by 5%. Right get on-line to Ocado and get some food, some items, quite a lot of them in fact, up an average of 8% Did that guy say 2.1% !! wonder what world he lives in ? ah its the one where you live on the expenses that you fabricate and then hide the details of. In the real World thats at best being economic with the truth but most people would describe it as boardering on theft or fraud.
But do our Government feel any shame at their dirty little practices have been exposed - No - not a bit of it.

Next piece of news is that the Government is going to the High Court to prevent the details of the MP's expenses abuse being made public. If ever there was a single news item that encapsulated the gulf that now exists between the average Brit and Village Westminster it is this.

All I could think of was the US hotelier who when jailed for massive tax evasion said "only the little people pay tax" So its now OK for MP's to steal as well as lie.

It is my experience that when ever a politician wants to get away with something thats a bit suspect they play "The Security Card" that universal get out of jail free card that enables all their grubby little secrets to be buried away so that the poor sops, you and me, that have to pay for it all cannot see whats going on.

Turn on the radio and the FSA, who remember have very well paid cushy little numbers "regulating" the Financial industry, put out a report that lists a littany of fundamental failures on its part that have resulted in the UK tax payer having to stump up £100 billion to prop up Northern Rock - yep the message was well we were completely incompetant but hey we will learn from this and lets move on.

No resignations, No sackings not even an apology.

This huge exposure for all of the UK population was totally avoidable.

So I had a trawl around at some published figues, there is a legal requiremment for Governments to publish things like money supply statistics - but like all bureaucrats they make a good job of hiding them but I did eventually get my hands on the Bank of Englands money supply figures.

now I hear you asking so what - well as Zimbabwe is proving expand the money supply and you create a broadly equal rate of inflation, in their case a plane load of German printed money being delivered every week equals a huge increase in the money supply equals inflation at a mind numbing rate of 100,000%, thats prices going up by 273 times a day.
The Bank of England figures show very clearly that Brown & Co have been printing money at the rate of around 14% a year for the last 4 or 5 years - which is now of course creating a level of inflation that most normal Brits would recognise from their daily/weekly expenditure of around 12% rather than the nonsense figure put out by the Government

Not rocket science, just basic economics

The real puzzle for me is why the hell have the Brits not risen up and raised hell about the the way they are being treated.

When last I wrote The Brown One was still enjoying his honeymoon period but since - wow - did the wheels really come off. I, and many others have been trying to point out the structural defects in the Blair Brown Labour smoke and mirrors Government for quite some time. It now looks as though the great British public have at last woken up - and are they angry.

It was, of course inevitable that the whole edifice would come crashing down, it had to, as it had no foundations, just take a strong economy, actually created by John Major, and then two people who lied and lied and lied some more.

lets look at what has actually happened over the last 10 years.

The Bliar & Brown have moved a massive amount of money away from the productive sector of the economy in to the non productive ( or should that be parasitic) sector.
Huge sums of money have been poured in to Central & Local Government departments and their legions of hangers ons. The nett result - fuck all - apart from a bloated and grotesquely overpaid army of state funded employees. I won't call them workers because they are not, their productivity is so low as to be below the point of measurement.

The final added insult to injury is that not only is their productivity very low they accept responsibility for nothing - the incidencies in recent months are so appaling that you really couldn't make them up. A Government Research Station actually starts an epidemic of Foot and Mouth disease - another kick in the teeth to the farming community. The education results, despite New Speak claims from New Labour sink lower and lower - a sound kick in the teeth for every parent. then the Revenue & Customs reveal the details of half the UK population a sound kick in the teeth for everyone.And just don't get me going on the treatment of our armed forces, I am just amazed that both Bliar & brown managed to walk away alive from their fleeting visists to Iraq and Afghanistan and there are plenty more examples.

There is, of course, a common cause of all of these failings - its MONEY - Governments, as Thatcher pointed out, don't have any money its all ours.
All Governments can do is decide how to spend it, and they do that very very badly. Faced with a decision on what to do with, what is it now £12 Billion and rising for the Olympics Should we spend it on the people of the UK, Health Education, proper facilities for the Armed Forces or blow on a few weeks of self aggrandisement, no contest the self aggrandisement wins everytime.

And now we have the sleazy underbelly of the whole Labour structure with sneaky funding from the jewish nation. We are now expected to believe that the famed so called control freak Chancellor did not know and did not ask where all the money was coming from. As my friend David from Sarf London would say " your aving a fucking larf ent yer"

Well you can't say you were not warned. I wrote months ago that Brown intended to sell the UK straight down the river and guess what he has.
The sly bastard has oh so quietly crept over to meet his grey faceless masters from Brussels and agreed to hand the UK over lock stock and barrel.

Well I say the UK but its really only England because Browns home, Scotland, has always wanted to be seperate and needs to be a recognised member state of the EU so it can continue to get someone else to subsidise its population.
We should not forget that Scotland is little more than a state funded job creation scheme with 54% of its core economy being state supported. Yes I know all about the oil, but if Scotland had been independent the oil companies would merely have extended the pipes and brought it to shore further south.

The conspiracy theorists can now have a field day - its all looks so contrived - A Scottish cabal manage to take over the Labour Party and then, by turning it into a cruel pastiche of the party that it traditionally loathed, The Conservatives, it gains power. What does it do with the power, it diverts even more money to Scotland where a Scot now gets 50% more spent on them than the English who actually pay for it all via the highest tax rates in the Western World and in the final act of revenge they destroy the authority of Parliament by handing it all over to Brussels.
I assume that once thats done they will creep back to the land of horizontal mist and rejoice in Jocks Revenge.

Oh, and please don't give me any shit about "red lines" go and read the documents, I have, and the much proclaimed protective red lines are meaningless and in any case time limited.

Coincidental, or may be planned, its nearly Guys Fawkes Night. Now there is a real conspiracy theory that could run and run. I won't mention a recently resigned closet Catholic wanting to complete what Guido started in 1605
