UK 7th most unequal country in world...

The UK is the seventh most unequal country in the world,
'The Independent' reports.  This is as per 'OECD'.

This is a direct outcome of the reactionist "laissez-faire"
"free market" politics of the Tories.

And under this new regime without balancing influences
of a coalition partner, it will get WORSE!

The biggest issue will be that the vast amount of poorer
people in Britain will eventually rise up against the super
rich. That is why the government wants to curb the free-
dom to speak freely (in public or online). They know the
monster they created.  Personally, I have no power to
fight, so I have to stick to a blog to speak out.

Mr Cameron: tackle free business, inequality and poverty!
Get out of your cocooned and 'incestuous' financial circles
and LOOK at ordinary people.  Go to "poor" estates un-
announced and SEE the real monster you created. People
are desparate. They don't care about fancy banquets with
the Lord Mayor of London. They care about not having
decent food, or decent shoes. Maybe the Queen can
teach you some dignity and compassion. Until you do open
your eyes to the real plight, hopefully her corgis will pee on
your legs good and proper.

Similarities between Speeches of Cameron and Mr H

Can you spot the similarities? And their politics aren't that far apart either

Your vote does NOT (necessarily) count!!

Have a look at this "Voter Power" site and see why
your vote may not really count at all!

Basement extensions

Have a look at this BBC documentary about basement extensions:
It is on the iPlayer for the moment: HERE


It becomes clear that "offshore companies" and "subcontractors"
as well as super-rich owners (both from abroad and UK) are
responsible.  Where extensions go wrong, resulting in damage
to any neighbouring properties, litigation may be difficult.

WHY ARE THERE NO LAWS AGAINST THEM?

Ask the TORY government... The Building Laws and Deregulation
Bill passed ensure countless MORE EXTENSIONS

WARNING: The Conservative Party and Large Businesses

A clear indicator of how powerful businesses in the UK have become is seen in this letter, published in the Telegraph today.

It is becoming ever more clear that the Conservative party is a slave to rich businesses and will do whatever it takes to gain complete control in the next Parliament.  THEY WILL NOT CARE ABOUT ordinary people but to keep their paymasters happy!!

DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE if you want the NHS that is free at point of entry;
DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE if you want low social and private rents kept low;
DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE if you want equality of opportunity for all;
DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE if you want European justice and Human Rights;
DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE if you want to live in a peaceful, green & pleasant land.
DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE if you have a small business (check the statistics! - small businesses are not supported - The Tories want a coporatist state - the "Free Market"
economy will not help small struggling businesses but only the large ones

Naked Man in Whitehall shows us humanity

A pic I found - how could he have been dangerous? - It is pure humanist art!

I was actually witnessing it as it happened: On approaching from Trafalgar Square, we initially walked freely. We stood close to the statue and the man who then started to take off his last remaining item of clothing (black underpants) the Police started to FORCE the spectators back, although the naked man was evidently unarmed and harmless. The Police were barking out orders to move on and that we had no business here. Mounted Police were also "driving" the spectators back. Very nasty experience, when we were watching a defenceless, naked man. The cordon was driven further and further back, to all of Whitehall. All the naked man did was, to actually make us laugh in appreciation and show that there is life in Cameron's corporate lands: Government cuts are destroying all "lifeblood", and to see this was reminder for both "humanity" (the climber) and seeing that we live in a State of fear and private capital corporatism. Thank you for a day with a difference.

And look at the law! Awful!

cycling in London compared to Berlin

Cycling in London is dangerous, as there are not many cycle lanes throughout the capital that are safe to use:
Cycle paths either appear suddenly and end as sudden as they appear, or they are next to parking bays for cars, leaving cyclists exposed to opening car doors across the cycle paths, or cyclists have to content with motorbikes, taxies and buses in bus lanes where -at junctions- there is a sudden left turn for cars / vans, and they veer off into the (previously safe-ish) bus/cycle lane to turn. I have seen cycle paths outside London that end to cross a busy, multi lane 'A' road with no traffic signals to protect the cyclist.  As a cyclist myself, I find it criminal that people like Cameron and Johnson harp on about the need to create and promote growth/business at all cost, detrimental to both environment and social responsibility, rather than looking at real people and cycling is one of them.

Power-assisted steering, the use of mobile phones whilst driving and sat navs have created new careless drivers.

In more aware countries, like the Netherlands and Germany, cycling is promoted, encouraged and nurtured.  Hopefully with news like the BBC  attitudes will change in London (the UK?)

NO ! to NHS changes made by millionaires

Fed up with Con-Dem pro millionaire shutting down of NHS in England.  The Libs should be ashamed of betraying their voters and must rebel against this change.

I am fed up with some right-wing reactionist politicians (yes, reactionist, as this is a reversion back to Victorian days, when only the rich could afford good health care and doctors).  Cameron claims he'd "give people CHOICE":  Yes, the choice to receive inferior treatment if they cannot pay for it.

And where is the "United" in this Kingdom, if Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have a well structured NHS, when Cameron decide to take England into the dark ages?  I hope that

quite a few take Cameron before the European Court of Human Rights for denying ordinary people their livelihoods.

It can only be hoped that the coalition founders and new elections follow suit.

economy based on banks and homeowenership will fail

An economy, based on deregulation (i.e. "free market economy"), lending for profit (banks) and home-ownership (mortgages) will fail in the long run, with the high level of debt preventing any reasonable movement.
This government penalises the elderly, the ordinary worker and anyone in the public sector, for that it refuses to ease inflation, refuses to regulate (i.e. state-control banks and certain industry) and encourages that silly system of indebting oneself to the hilt to buy an overpriced house.
Madness!
Look at Germany: Exports at an all time high, even that close to a world wide recession. Why? They have a huge property rental market, with home ownership the exception. There are no greedy property developers ("buy-to let" stinks and should be illegal), and the state interferes carefully in industry (so profits are still there but equally, social responsibility is shown.

What has Britain got? Millionaires running the country, and the list of billionaires has recovered! whoopee-doo!

What the Government has achieved in less than 1 year:

WARNING: This will seriously damage your health !!
Who is afffected: Police, NHS, Armed Forces, Courts, and the entire

- 3 London Council cuts
- Manchester City Council Cuts

interest rates low??? bol - l -ocks!

We do not need to make the rich richer!
We need more social housing!
We need fewer cars,
We need more trains and railways.
We don't need "Academies" sponsored by private consortia!
We need proper centralised, FREE, education for all,
so the new generation can vote freely and with their own
minds, rather than a corporatist one.
We need good, healthy food for all.
We need a free centralised NHS for all.
We need to support the nurses, the Army, the poor,
the disadvantaged.
