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"
