Well I had a few days off and what happens, the whole media goes into bias overload.
Its a job to know where to start, lets start with the most irritating.
The Conservative Party publish the latest of their, surprisingly well considered, policy reviews. This one on Economics, written by John Redwood so how do the BBC react, well no surprise there the rabid pinkos just couldn't control themselves and just had to preface the piece on the economic review with a 12 or 13 year old clip of John Redwood trying manfully, but failing,to pretend he knew the words of the Welsh National Anthem (who does)
er what possible relevance does that have other than being a very nasty attempt on the part of Browns Broadcasting Company to slur a political opponent.
Ah lets look at the melt down of the " financial markets " I think it was Soviet President Kruschev who took one look at the London Stock Exchange and said it was a casino and thats exactly what it is.
I have long found it incomprehensible that a company grows and prospers because it does well at what ever it was it did. Those that work in it do perhaps passably well, then it floats on the Stock Exchange and the vultures, lawyers, accountants, analysts, etc descend insisting that they must make orders of magnitude more than those that created the company in the first place.
I well recall the stunned silence when I pointed out to a band of pompous accountants that they were part of an occupation thats only skill was measuring the achievements of other people.
The reality of the Financial markets is that they are little more than a huge confidence trick, the USA is bankrupt, financially and morally. it owes more money than it has just to the Chinese let alone the rest of the World, The UK is bankrupt because it has accumulated debts to future state employee pensioners that again dwarf its reserves.
The EU is bankrupt and its accounts have not been accepted for years and years and years.
When you get down to cold hard financial reality the only people with money in the bank are the Chinese and a handful of smaller nations that traditionally live within their means, countries like Australia and New Zealand.
It makes me smile when I read the Times Rich List and see that so and so has shares " worth " millions or even billions, No, a share is like anything else in this world, it is only worth what someone else will give you for it on the day you want to sell it. Until that point it is all but worthless.
I am a great supporter of the UK armed forces, they are made up of some of the finest examples of mankind that you are likely to see.
I have utter and total contempt for the politicians who seek to treat them as morons who will die just to create todays positive headlines.
The UK should not be in Iraq or Afghanistan, should never have gone there and should leave immediately.
The UK has no strategic interest in the area, is receiving no present or future advantage in being there and because they have their hands tied behind their backs the military are achieving absolutely nothing other than premature and painful death of people on both sides.
Interesting to note that the UK parliaments committee that suggested a similar plan was not reported by the BBC.
Can someone please explain to me how a country, Afghanistan, that the UK Government is " sorting out" can massively expand its heroin production and subsequent export to the streets of the UK ?
On a lighter note, I see the political leaders of the Scots are mouthing off again because they want to be Independent, I only have one word of comment - Goodbye
