http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4623500.stmThe number of people out of work in the UK rose by 111,000 to a three-year high of 1.53 million in the three months to November, official figures have shown.
Yes New Labour who keep harping on about how bad things were under the Tories, and wheeling out the boogie man of how bad things will be should they get back into power now have let down the electorate and have let their poor grasp of economics thrown more people out of work and whats worse they dont even care about the unemployed as they are "not an issue"
Yet what does New Labour do about it? Nothing it appears. The convicted libelist and loud mouth back bench MP Paul Flynn is quoted thus: "Does my right hon. Friend recall that, when he and I were first elected to the House in the dark days of Thatcherism, unemployment was our main concern? Now it is not an issue until it is dredged up by the right hon. and hon. piffle artists on the Benches opposite."
Its hardly piffle to lose your income is it? To say that unemployment is not an issue is a smack in the teeth to the people whos jobs have been ended due to New Labour red tape and tax rises. To say its not an issue is to say to those people - and I am lucky enough to have landed a job this year and get my life, if not my finances back on track!- that they matter not at all.
Still what can we expect from a back bench politician who has a cushy salery and "claims" to be a socialist of the old school. After all considering the fact he was sued for libel and had to pay out over £30K in total we can hardly trust his word or integrity.
(I posted the above to they work for you; http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2006-01-18a.827.3)
Unemployment across Wales has been increasing for 10 consecutive months, in some constituencies by up to 35 per cent.? With Welsh manufacturing output slumping in the past year by 6 per cent.
Numbers employed in full-time Welsh agriculture have fallen by 55 per cent. since 1997, that over 600 manufacturing jobs have been lost in mid-Wales since 2001.
** So there you have it, not only do the ruling socialists not care about those out of work in that they are not an issue, and how nice that our local MP gives them an insulting comment like that, he might as well have told them to fuck off. Still what can you say about a libelist MP who cares more about the humble albatross than the unemployed: Early day motion to save the poor birds

his apology:
Recently Paul Flynn was involved in a libel case where he made comments about an endowment pensions company, the result of which he had to pay out damages. He was sued after he posted an attack on such companies on his website, claiming they were out to "re-rob" the victims of endowment mis-selling by dishonestly over-charging them for their services.
But he made the mistake of referring to well-regarded company Endowment Justice Ltd, which represents mis-selling victims on a "no-win, no-fee" basis. The company and its directors sued and at London's High Court Mr Flynn made a public apology for the "unjustified attack" on the claimants' integrity.
The MP as part of the settlement put the following statement on his website: On this website in February this year, I made certain statements referring to Endowment Justice Limited, one of the companies which offers assistance in obtaining compensation for those people who were mis-sold endowment policies. I have been campaigning against companies providing professional services in relation to endowment policy compensation claims, but my facts about Endowment Justice were incorrect. As a result, I wrongly accused the company and its directors Nick Keca, Marianne Fitzjohn and Graeme Webber of having previously mis-sold endowment policies and now dishonestly overcharging those self-same victims to help them obtain compensation. I am happy to clarify that neither Endowment Justice Ltd or any of its directors were ever involved in any aspect of endowment policy selling. It was therefore false and unfair to suggest that they had profited from the historic mis-selling of endowment policies. I was also incorrect in stating that Endowment Justice, which offers its services in recovering compensation on a “no-win, no-fee” basis, could charge its customers up to 40% of any compensation gained. Endowment Justice in fact charge customers 17.5% plus VAT or 22.5% plus VAT of any compensation gained. I was wrong to give the unintended impression that the company or its directors acts in any way improperly or unlawfully in providing services to those seeking compensation for endowment policy mis-selling. I would like to apologise to Endowment Justice for my allegations, and to Mr. Keca, Ms. Fitzjohn and Mr. Webber for any embarrassment or distress caused by my false remarks.
For all there comments about all being well, it seems that financial experts dont agree with the New Labour MP's on their large salerys: "The UK labour market is showing the first genuine signs of weakening, as employment is now falling, unemployment is rising and wage growth slows," said John Butler, UK economist at HSBC."
On the subject of local(south wales) politico windbags puffed up with their own impotence, we come to that classic Labour failue Neil Kinnock. Neil fuck off you ginger twat, your past your sell by date.
Terrorists killed while emplacing IED
TIKRIT, Iraq – A coalition aircraft engaged and killed three terrorists after observing them emplacing an IED near Tal Afar Jan. 17.
Soldiers from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, along with an explosive ordnance disposal team, safely destroyed the IED which consisted of two artillery rounds. Hurrah for superior airpower, guess Allah has to get another 216 virgins.
