New Labour Failure
This shower of a government does not think you have a brain or an iota of common sense. This government treats people with contempt. This government loves one size fits all solutions that do not fit anyone. This government will penalise everyone for the crimes and misdemeanors of the few. This government cannot accept that in society there are, have always been and will always be a small percentage of deranged people and no legislation will eradicate that. This government has no common sense!
EU Presidency
The people of this country are walking apthetically, blindly and dumbly into the EU superstate trap set for them by the self appointed, unelected, self interested, empire building political elite. They are doing so without question or debate and without consideration of any other alternatives. The creation of a shadowy unaccountable EU superstate is another step towards the suppression of freedom, free trade and independent ground up control of regional affairs.
Who is your MEP? Has he ever communicated with you? What has he done for you and your region?
The new EU President, whomever he or she may be, is no more or less than an imposition by stealth of a European superstate on the people of Europe; whether we want it or not. We don't and that's why we have never been asked!
Beware you politicians! You are about to learn that you cannot impose your will on the people forever without their consent. We are millions. You are but a few thousand and a few thousand too many at that!

Theft of Democracy
David Cameron is not the only one who will be haunted by Europe. Because the British people have been denied a promised referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, it will be a festering sore of increasing discontent that may yet have consequences far beyond Mr Cameron's or for that matter Mr. Brown's tenure not to mention limited imagination. This unpardonable treachery will do more harm than good and may yet bring the EU superstate to it's knees.The people will not tolerate the theft of their democracy for long.

Key to Hamas - Isreali Truce
Any truce that does not recognise that there is no alternative but to live together in peace is worthless. The alternative is constant and permanent war and an ever mounting body count of innocent people on both sides.
Hamas have failed to comprehend the enormous economic and social benefits that a permanent peace would bring the Palestinian people. The rewards for peace far exceed the rewards of war. Only when this is understood can there be an end to the slaughter.
President Bush's Legacy
Whatever else is said about George Bush's presidency and however it may be judged in the future, the one thing that can be said now, is that the world will never be the same again. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan will alter forever the face of that region, possibly for the better in the longer term. In the these endeavours he was at least unwavering.
However, his more immediate legacy is that under his watch and Brown's, the world econonomy was brought to the brink of financial disaster.

Darling's Pre-Budget Fiasco
The pre-budget report is the most ill-thought through, botched and misguided piece of economic mumbo jumbo, I have ever seen. It will fail on every count. It also ignores completely the natural corrective forces of free markets.
When demand crashes, cash-flow becomes king and profit is for another day. To survive stocks must be moved almost at any cost to keep the cash flowing. This leads to a natural reduction on prices to a level that re-ignites consumer interest and increases demand. That is the beginning of a revival.
The government should have concentrated on measures designed to reduce costs to business like a reduction in fuel costs that impact throughout the economy, making goods cheaper and therefore improving profit margins.
The only other thing it had to do was stabalise the banks and make them lend.
Tax cuts funded by higher debt make no sense at all. There is not an ounce of savoir faire or common sense in anything Mr. Darling announced today. All he has achieved is more pain tomorrow. Pathetic

Why Poverty Matters
On a sugar plantation in Brazil a worker gets approximately £5/day for cutting 4 tons of cane in hot, suffocating, humid, snake infested conditions. This is slave labour in all but name and there are millions working long hours for less all over the World.
Who amongst us could work in these conditions and who would want to for such meagre reward?
If one wants to increase global demand and boost economic growth, then the first thing one needs to do, is start paying a fair price for labour, thereby increasing the purchasing power of the poor.

Genesis
In Chapter One the material vegetable and animal kingdoms were all created during the six days (each day being a thousand years). It took seven thousand years including the day of rest for the completion of creation.
Genesis Ch. 2.
Here it states that there is no tree, herb, etc. upon the Earth "The Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth" and "there was no man to till the ground". St. Paul said God is a spirit and must be worshipped in the spirit. Spirits of course cannot till the ground.
It is only in the last few decades that we have come to understand with the aid of modern science, how the Earth was transformed from a ball of molten syrup to a crusty volcanic maelstrom to the fertile planet we now inhabit. The authors of Genesis already knew this.
Surely a superstitious scientifically uninformed mind would have come up with a much more primitive interpretation of creation than this?
In Ch.2. v 7 it says:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
In my mind this statement reveals an understanding of natural evolution (from dust to dust) but also says that man initially existed in spirit form. The concept of evolution on the one hand and spiritual existence on the other would appear to be a contradiction in terms to both evolutionists and theists but thousands of years later we are still searching for the answers.
Is it that the ancient mind uncluttered by scientific knowledge and the need for scientific explanation could more easily grasp and accept the possibility of incredible concepts ? To this day the finest brains in history have not been able to prove or disprove the assumption of their so called ancient and primitive forebears.
Food for thought!

Tsunami Coming
The sub-prime mortgage crisis is a ripple in a pond compared to the gathering tsunami about to be unleashed as a result of worldwide food shortages. One hundred million people are now facing the risk of starvation and food riots are breaking out in numerous countries with serious consequences for everyone. It is now that those who in the past, have not understood the meaning of the term “global village,” will come to realise its significance.
Countries like India are cutting back on the export of certain commodities to ensure sufficient food for their own population. Other countries will inevitably follow suit. This will lead to even more dramatic increases in food prices and increasing shortages for everyone.
I have always believed that “globalisation” was a false and dangerous concept, the ultimate pursuit of fool’s gold by greedy corporate and political pirates, chasing an elusive treasure of ever lower manufacturing costs and higher profits. As a consequence we have let our fields lie fallow, taken our manufacturing overseas and sold our utilities to the highest bidder.
In short we are no longer independent but dependent on others and circumstances elsewhere for food, and energy. This grotesque lack of vision, this vacuum of wisdom has meant we are now all sailing in a single ship instead of a convoy of many. When it sinks we all go down

Chinese Complicity In Zimbabwe
I was disgusted to see Chinese and North Korean “advisors,” sitting in the stadium supporting the Mugabe regime at the 28th anniversary of Zimbabwe’s independence from Britain. In his speech attacking Britain and Brown, Robert Mugabe made one of the most hypocritically ludicrous speeches ever heard. It would have been hilarious were it not so tragic.
China and North Korea continue to arm Mugabe’s bestial regime, knowing full well that the military hardware will be used to oppress his own citizens. The Chinese and North Korea governments have revealed the true depth of their disdain for human rights and democracy. They have demonstrated to the World a total absence of any sense of morality or integrity.
They have shown there is no gutter too disgusting into which they will not stoop, to gain economic and political influence or advantage, irrespective of the misery and cost in human lives. They have shown their true colours and they have proven beyond doubt that they are untrustworthy of support at any level. They are complicit in the crimes committed by Robort Mugabe against his own people and they should be condemned by all humanitarian governments and organisations for so doing.
They must not be allowed to get away with it and I now totally support a boycott of the Beijing Olympics and Chinese products until such time as they change their ways.
