Letter to Ed

Open Letter to Ed Milliband.

Dear Ed.
    We older established British Englanders get tired of the recent  (one/ two generations) of immigrates and families who were allowed to come to our country and think they can take over and change this wonderful country of ours. People with no British history trying to change our long history for something which suits their own political agenda. Displaced and persecuted people have always been welcome by the British, most have adapted to the British way of life and integrated and got on with their lives and been happy  with the way of life here.   
    Because views are expressed or England flags are displayed, contrary to the Politically Correct view you and the left wing intellectuals are foisting on the country we White English are deemed as racists or some other invented word, because we love our country - this is Britain, England and it is our God given right to show allegiance to our country if we chose to.   
    Our forebears for dozens of generations back into our individual family histories have suffered poverty, worked in the cotton mills, worked down the mines, fought in the wars died and brought up families, with roots going back into hundreds of years of British history. Britain freed Europe from Napoleon, fought and beat the Kaiser with help from the Commonwealth & America, under Churchill’s guidance with America and other allies fought and beat Hitler and again freed Europe. Margaret Thatcher with Mikhail Gorbachev, brought down the Iron Curtain and freed Eastern Europe from the grip of the Soviet Union. Now the left leaning Politicians like yourself want Britain controlled by the European Union giving up our long fought for sovereignty treasured by the majority of us who are true British.
    The majority of the British do not want to be absorbed by the dinosaur which the EU is becoming, we have always been a friend of the Europeans but do not want to be ruled by overpaid faceless Left wing bureaucrats.   
    People accuse you of stabbing your brother in the back to gain power in a political party which is no longer recognised by many as the party of the working classes. Betraying ones family is not what being British means, apparently your Grandfather and father were allowed into this country as refugees from Hitler’s regime leaving part of the family to their fate.  Lack of loyalty to your family maybe hereditary but is not what Britain stands for. Your roots appear to be in Europe and your father seems to have had a great dislike for the country that gave him and his father refuge - but very fortunately was able to leave quite a wealthy legacy for his family and through you, it would appear, is trying to take this country in a direction he would have wished it to go, which is alien to most British.
    It would appear that you were very fortunate with being an adviser to Gordon Brown in being able to avoid paying higher taxes on your inheritance, tax rules being changed shortly afterwards so that Normal people pay a higher percentage.
    One can understand your reluctant to admit your part in the disastrous financial situation Labour left the country in with a Deficit of 156.3 billion pounds, when after Gordon Brown inherited Ken Clark’s budget which gave Labour four years of Budget surplus. In eight years, all in Deficit, Labour managed to turn a Conservative surplus into a final deficit of 156.3 Billion pounds.  (Don’t blame the Bank crisis, this was brought on by bad Government management of the financial sector.) Ending Boom & Bust for good.
    I understand Gordon also managed to filch around 100 Million pounds for the pension funds. So you many not be able to bring yourself to acknowledge the damage you as part of the last Labour government did to Britain, but thousands of voters still remember. If you had any business experience you would instinctively know that if someone goes bust on you, you would be very reluctant to give them credit a second time. Over my working lifetime Labour have left Britain bust three times, - giving someone a second chance to do the same thing on you, possibly. But it may be stretching it to give them a third chance, and when they start asking for a fourth chance to do exactly the same again that is absolute stupidity.  This is exactly what Labour have done to the British people over their last few times in office. The Conservatives being left to turn the country round each time.    The Conservatives with, or despite, the Lib/Dem’s in coalition have managed to start Britain moving in the right direction. With Employment UP 2,000,000 since Labour lost power, Millions of people taken out of paying tax, the Deficit halved, and people starting to feel better off - Ed are you expecting the British to give Labour a Fourth chance to wreck Britain? You don’t have a very good record as far as Loyalty goes.    DO YOU THINK THE BRITISH PUBLIC ARE THAT STUPID?   Probably being a far left leaning Socialist academic your answer will be -YES.

Forward to the 2015 election

Now we are in the Party conference season for 2014 and a few months to the next general election, the coalition government led by David Cameron are turning the British economy around with a few difficulties created by their partners in the Lib/Dem party.

Labours conference appears to have been a total wash-out, with nothing offered except a return to the old spend, spend policies of the previous disastrous  Gordon Brown government of which Ed Milliand and Ed Balls were a big part.

Nick Clegg's two billion pound give-away of free school meals for all primary age children, irrespective of whether their parents can afford to pay, does strike one as a desperate attempt at offering British tax-payers hard earned money as a bribe to his Liberal/Democratic followers.

I feel that Nick Clegg is a dangerous bed-fellow for the Conservatives, to me his sole intention in British politics is to get Britain embedded irreversibly in the European Union.  He would be much more at home with Ed Milliband and the Labour Party and if ever the chance for a coalition with Labour came up he would have no compunction in swapping sides. Britain would then have no chance of getting away from the E.U., like Ed Milliband, Nick Clegg is a European first and British second. Both only being from first or second generation immigrants stock. 

Nigel Farage and his UKIP party are coming along as a welcome alternative to Labour and Lib/Dems with some competition for David Cameron and the Conservatives.  The offer of an In Out referendum is some way due to the threat UKIP are posing for all the parties. With a couple of defections from the Conservatives and hopefully the odd UKIP win of Labour seats this will spice up the last few months of a lack-luster parliament as more and more laws are imposed on us from Europe.

British Dream or Dreaming?

Is there a BRITISH DREAM ?

The American Dream gives expression to the individual to build their own lives within a freedom loving society, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom from government domination. Do we in Britain have the same opportunities as we are led to believe?

Is it possible these days for an individual to build a business and retain the fruits of their labours without the profits being stolen away by government - with high taxes and over regulation - big business, banks and others of the parasite hierarchy under which we live.

The 13 years of the Labour/New Labour/Socialist British government seemingly brought about the most striking divisions of the last few decades between those who wish to run their own lives and those whose only intention is to live off the labours of others.

How is it that a few massive companies have emerged from tiny origins over the last few decades, while the vast majority of businesses remain struggling to exist. What is different about Tesco, Peel Holding, RBS. ? (until they overstretched themselves and the taxpayer had to pick up the tab)

Is it a matter of under regulation for some and over-baring regulation for the majority - or is it a matter of being in the know or backhanders in the right places. (Maybe government lobbying is the official phrase)

In small privately owned business any signs of profitability is quickly whittled away by high bank charges, high rents and increasing regulation from all sides. This large section of the economy, small business, is being expected to drag the economy out of this current recession.

The work ethic in some areas of British society has almost disappeared with more and more reliance by whole families with in some cases two and three generations never having experienced working for a living and being solely sustained by welfare benefits. Added to the huge influkes of immigrants through Labours time in office and the last couple of years, some services are at breaking point.
The coalition government is pledged to revitalising the British economy but after over two years very little is evident of a major upturn for business. New policies are being brought in, in the background but most of these will take a long time to mature.

 

European Pensions for the Elite Few

So the European Court of Justice as ruled that retired E.U. Eurocrats only have to pay 8% tax on their pensions instead of the prevaling income tax in their country of residence. Pensions paid from the taxes of mostly much lower paid and higher taxed tax payers.  Presumably the same rule will apply to the pensions of the Judges who came up with the this Land mark decision.  Rules most people have never hear of made probably 50 years ago giving preference to a small Unelected elite minority who now control the lives of hundreds of millions of European citizens.

With European leaders pressurising the peoples of Greece and Spain and other countries in financial difficulties to tighten their financial belts and most countries have brought in austerity budgets to reduce their deficities this decision does strike of hypocricy. But then these kind of decisions are what we have come to expect from a European Parliament out of touch with most of the citizens of Europe.

When most people are struggling with their ever tightening every day budgets, reading of this kind of extraordinary excess for an elite minority - along with all the rules and red-tape issueing from Europe - makes the thought of Britain staying in the European Union more and more distasteful.

Anyone old enough who voted on the issue in 1975 may remember Harold Wilson promising a better future for the British people by being part of the Common Market. Most voters assumed this to be a trading block not what we have to-day - a Political Union of the States of Europe, run by unelected unaccountable officials seamingly for their own convenience. Anyone under about 50 has never had a chance to have their say on the issuse which is blighting the lives of so many ordinary people.

The sooner the politicians in Westminster let the British people have their say in a referendum the better for the whole country.

Bankers ??

From the fiasco of the Banking crisis now the Libor rate fixing, the miss selling of various banking "products", it doesn't seem likely that the economy will rise from the ashes any time soon.

Huge Banking bonuses for moving money from one hand to the other in a slight of hand more akin to the stage than the once reliable British banking industry.

All the fancy names for the services offered by banks can only be intended to blind the public with science.  Quantive easing is Printing money - reducing the value of savings and pensions of those who have worked and been conciencious for their future. Payment Protection Insurance, Business interest rates swaps - are all devious ways of cheating the gullable public out of their money and tying up the publics' and business's assets.

How are small business ever going to revive and help to pull the country from the quagmire of the Labour years? What is the point of employing new staff when the future is still so uncertain after two years of a new Government and taxes and imposed for creating jobs.  With Media and especially the BBBC constantly pushing the Labour and Union line what chance have young people got with such an atmosphere pervading, with the current deficit and the Country's huge debt hanging over their futures.

It is time for politicians of all parties to be held personally responsible for the condition their actions leave the country in when they leave office. The backbiting that goes on in Parliament and through the media is reminicent of kids in the playground, with the obligatory Bully in the picture.

Still a struggle to get the economy moving!!

After nearly two years in office the coalition still seems to be finding it difficult to move the economy forward.

With the third budget just announced - and reducing the Labour deficit still a major burden on everyones pocket - it is likely it will take the full five year term of this Government to see any real results.

David Cameron is taking some flack for the blunders in recent weeks, with the anti-British media especially the BBBC having a field day but without offering any common sense alternatives.

Until some of these highly paid highly "free" educated individuals in the media come down from their high horses and start to help the country earn its way out of the Left Wing mess, the country will continue bumping along the bottom. The "know-it-alls" will continue to criticise the efforts of others.

The Unbiased BBC ?

During the recent party conference silly season listening to the BBC's reporting, one would think the Labour party was still in power. More air-time seems to have been devoted to Labour and their leadership contest than the other two parties put together. Or maybe I listened more intently to what the Torys and the Lib/Dems had to say than the apparent ramblings of the Labour speakers.

The new Labour leader Red Ed Milliband doesn't exude confidence in his new role, looking more like a school boy who has just been given the role of head prefect against his own better judgement.

The Labour shadow cabinet in general don't instill confidence as an opposition and alternative government to the coalition of the Conservatives and Lib/Dems.

Reporting by the BBC star reporters, Nick Robinson, Stehanie Flanders, Jeremy Paxman and the like still reflect the BBC's preference for the Labour party, which is not surprising as all these Champagne Socialist and the unions who control the Beeb appear to enjoy a good lifestyle on the backs of the Licence payers.

None of the reporting on BBC news programmes gives any credit to the new Government for the efforts they are making to get out of the disasterous mess created by Labour and in the most part by the same politicians now in opposition.
