Paul Krugman economist and uber cock.

First up a hat tip to tVOR for this one on the Global Whineing debate. As I was having a read, the name Paul Krugman popped up.

Hello thought I, that name rings a bell. Upon checking I found that Mr Krugman had been fawning all over our dire leader over his pissing away of billions on inept bankers.

As I said before:
Nobel-prize-winning economist? Well some chap with a beard called Paul Krugman has been a fawning over Mr Brown spunking away some 500 billion of our pounds, to help a bunch of bankers whos lack of foresight, lack of putting reserves away, lending billions to people/companies who could not pay it back led to them going to the wall and running cap in hand for a bail out.
Well Krugman has now turned his razor sharp economic mind to eco matters, a mind that fails to grasp lending money to folk without a brass farthing to their name might cause economic woes down the line.
The Nobel laureate in economics Paul Krugman goes further. After the narrow passage of the Waxman-Markey climate-change bill in the United States House of Representatives, Krugman said that there was no justification for a vote against it. He called virtually all of the members who voted against it, “climate deniers” who were committing “treason against the planet.”
Gosh are they, quite how does one commit treason against the planet then? Hold a differing view than Krugman and his eco Nazi ilk?
Krugman said that the “irresponsibility and immorality” of the representatives’ democratic viewpoints were “unforgivable” and a “betrayal.” He thus accused almost half of the democratically elected members of the House, from both parties, of treason for holding the views that they do...
Blah, blah blah. Still this is a fool who stated that "the current financial crisis proves that the free market just doesn't work."

Well no, what does not work is a government encouraging a debt boom, fueled on a myth of ever increasing house prices and ignoring warning on dubious trading by the banks. A government that shoved billions onto PFI, buryed its one eyed head in the sand over the national debt, whilst spending borrowed money to keep a bloated public sector afloat.

I shall treat Krugmans thoughts on matters eco as I treat his thoughts on matters fiscal, with utter contempt.

I shall stick with the phrase "Be not a lender nor a borrower be", I may not be rich by any measure of the world but I have a roof over my head, food in the kitchen and no negative equity or shares that yesterday were £10 and today are worth 2s, an old 'two bob bit' in proper olde money.

Cyclops Brown in desperate plea about "fair play"

Oh for fucks sake.
Gordon Brown hopes to win back the vote of Middle Britain by appealing to their sense of fair play and core values.

Ministers will promise to tackle the 'something for nothing' culture by closing loopholes in healthcare, social housing and welfare benefits.
British jobs for British workers anyone, or maybe the promised and yet to be seen vote on Europe? So after 12 years, twelve long years they claim to now offer fair play.

Shame that they broke the economy in that time.

In a meaningless soundbite Cyclops said: 'We like people to pay their dues, abide by the rules and earn their rights and entitlements. This is the British way.'


Meanwhile under the new "fair and inclusive" New Labour party unemployment is likely to soar to 4 million.
.

New Labour stealth tax: £250 for parking at work.

The economy is broke, so taxes need to go up to fix Gordon's fiscal mess.
Motorists who drive to work will have to pay a £250 parking tax under a Government scheme to be announced today.

Firms employing 11 or more staff who park their cars in company bays will be charged for each space.

The scheme, which has been condemned by critics as a 'tax on jobs', will initially charge £250 per space but the cost could rise to £350 within two years.

It is being pioneered in Nottingham which will introduce it in 2012 but other city councils are expected to follow suit.

Right, so not coming in until after the election when the tax and spend Labour filth have been thrown out by the taxpayers.

ID cards, no union flag? Not in Welsh?!

Now I hate the idea of ID cards, we managed perfectly well without them for years and the only reason for them is control by the state. But this bit is really taking the piss to be fair:

Instead the ID card design unveiled by the home secretary, Alan Johnson, features a tasteful floral pattern made up of the shamrock, daffodil, thistle and rose alongside the Royal Coat of Arms.

A Home Office spokesperson saidtoday this was because "the card represents all the nations of the United Kingdom and the design reflects themes of Britishness and aspects of UK history".

So what is wrong with the Union Flag? Also why no Welsh version? If when one crosses the line between England and Wales you see that HM Govt can spend God alone knows how much putting out every single bit of paperwork in Welsh, have every roadsign with its Welsh translation next to the English, why not on the ID card?
A recent Identity and Passport Service impact assessment of the next phase of the ID card scheme says it is important that it is designed in a way that is open to everyone who has the right to live in the United Kingdom – whether they are British, Irish or a national from another country.
But what is missed or rather non stated is that the good people of Northern Ireland are in fact British! Could it be that this government is in fact ashamed of the British identity and under the excuse of "inclusiveness" finding a way to ditch it. You can bet that argument will be taken up by many...

So in order to appease folk we have removed the Union flag? Methinks that the BNP have a whole raft of free publicity here as well as Plaid and other Welsh language campaigners, let the fun begin....

Oh this bit shows the stupidity of the whole system:
The home secretary, Alan Johnson, said: "The introduction of ID cards today reaches another milestone, enabling the people of Manchester to prove and protect their identity in a quick, simple and secure way.
Alan, you utter insufferable little cock, that is why I have a passport. Want to open a bank account, show a passport and a utility bill, want to register with a job agency, do the same, in fact want to show any person that you are in fact who you say you are then get the passport out.

However did we manage without the all singing, all dancing ID card during the dark days of Paddy O'Terrorist planting bombs in the UK? Oh yes, I remember we just got on with it.

Think I shall ever buy one Alan, you can fuck the fuck off. Still its a non issue really as your government is as popular as tittie bar opening in Saudi Arabia and the chances of their electoral victory are about as likely as the dour Saudi clerics allowing tittie bars to open in their land.

Racism fail, good one PC Allanson.

Asian man who called policeman a "White redneck hooligans" guilty of racism

Pc Christian Allanson overheard Butt say loudly into his mobile phone: "'I'm just here with these white redneck hooligans'."

He told the court Butt also said: "'Where's my brother, you're not the Gestapo'."

Pc Allanson said: "I felt very offended by this comment. I felt it was clearly a comment made towards myself and the other officers present due to the fact we were white police officers. I believe it was a very offensive comment."

Nice one PC Allanson, turn it back on the fuckers...

A Letter To Gordon Brown

.

The new game, bash Bob "the knob" Ainsworth.

A fair game to be fair, no argument from me on this one.
Even the Times, seeing a rather slow MP making an arse of himself are getting in on the game.

Bob Ainsworth is one of those people who should never rise above deputy. I am told that people are snobby about him but I am just confused. Every time I see him — and it happened again yesterday — I cannot believe that he is the Defence Secretary. How did this man, stodgy as porridge, inspiring as a cabbage, get the top job? It feels wrong, as if he were taking part in a job-swap reality TV programme that has gone horribly wrong.

Spot on.

He reminds me of a manager that I and my team had dumped on us, in a previous job many moons ago: inept in every way this manager tore up the old ways and turned a well run section to shit in record time.

Bob I think is cut from the same cloth as that manager who I last saw being escorted off company property by two security guards carrying his belonging in a box.

Still this a man -a word I use in a very very loose meaning of the word - who seeks to penny pinch on compensation paid to soldiers. Something that would be laughable were it not for the billions poured away on bankers bonuses, PFI, quangos...

A chap who voted against letting Gurkhas settle in the UK.

Bob Ainsworth's home repairs cost the taxpayer £5,925! Bob Ainsworth, the Armed Forces Minister, claimed nearly £6,000 for the redecoration of his designated second home, submitting bills that included rebuilding the fireplace and fitting oak beams into his ceiling.
also tried to claim £2,225 for a sofa and £1,000 for a LCD Samsung television, both of which were reduced by the fees office.

In April 2006, Mr Ainsworth submitted a further £951 bill for fencing and in August charged £1,160 for a gas fire.

That same year, he was told by officials he could not claim £1,000 for a Samsung LCD television because he had exceeded the “recommended maximum”.

In August, the minister wrote to the fees office to explain why he was claiming £2,225 for a Roma corner sofa.
No money for compensation according to Bob, yet money for a Roma corner sofa....

New Labour: The poor pay more in tax than higher earners.

Gosh who would have thought that badly planned out champagne socialism would hit the poorest in society the most.

“the bottom fifth of earners pay 38.7 of their gross income in total tax, the next fifth 32.7 per cent, then 34.6 per cent, 35.4 per cent, falling to 34.9 per cent for the top fifth of higher-earning households.”

The reason that the poor pay more in tax than the rich is that indirect taxes, especially sin-taxes, have been so jacked up under Labour. When only direct taxes are taken into account, the bottom fifth only pay 10.8 percent and the top fifth pay 24.9 percent of their gross income in tax.

Simple solution, cut the quango's, cull the uber-public sector and throw 800,000 pen pushing stat counters on the dole at a fucking stroke. Save £250 billion a year, simples.

Teaching maths:

Hat tip to Rantinrab for this one, its just so so true.

1. Teaching Maths In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is 4/5 of the price.
What is his profit?

2. Teaching Maths In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is 80% of the price.
What is his profit?

3. Teaching Maths In 1990
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is £80.
How much was his profit?

4. Teaching Maths In 2000
A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.
His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20.
Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Maths In 2005
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habit of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. Your assignment: Discuss how the birds and squirrels might feel as the logger cut down their homes just for a measly profit of £20.

6. Teaching Maths In 2009
A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the felling licence. He is also fined a £100 as his chainsaw is in breach of Health and Safety legislation as it deemed too dangerous and could cut something. He has used the chainsaw for over 20 years without incident however he does not have the correct certificate of competence and is therefore considered to be a recidivist and habitual criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated throughout all government agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another £100 because he is such an easy target. When he is released he returns to find Gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a further £100. While he is in jail the Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it on the black market for £100 cash. They also have a leaving BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and depart leaving behind several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The logger on release is warned that failure to clear the fly tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the peace and invoiced £12,000 plus VAT for safe disposal costs by a regulated government contractor.

Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be arrested and fined before he realises that he is never going to make £20 profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state for the rest of his life?

7. Teaching Maths In 2010
A logger doesn’t sell a lorry load of timber because he can’t get a loan to buy a new lorry because his bank has spent all his and their money on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub- prime mortgages in Alabama and lost the lot with only some government money left to pay a few million pound bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who made the biggest losses.

The logger struggles to pay the £1,200 road tax on his old lorry however, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the emissions regulations and he is forced to scrap it.

Some Bulgarian loggers buy the lorry from the scrap merchant and put it back on the road. They undercut everyone on price for haulage and send their cash back home, while claiming unemployment for themselves and their relatives. If questioned they speak no English and it is easier to deport them at the governments expense. Following their holiday back home they return to the UK with different names and fresh girls and start again. The logger protests, is accused of being a bigoted racist and as his name is on the side of his old lorry he is forced to pay £1,500 registration fees as a gang master.

The Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as bonus's are not cheap. The parliamentarians feel they are missing out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances.

You do the maths.

Spotted this one:
Reminds me of the time when I was temping and I was promised a job by Reed Accountancy in Cardiff. I left one job and, yep you guessed it, the promised job fell through; leaving me jobless and having to sort out the resulting mess.

Still far easier for Reed to mock Cameron than to see to running their own business in a professional and accurate manner.

Just thought I would mention that one.

GPS tag our MP's.

You know I think that Obo is onto something here.

Seriously we should tag the lying bastards, see if they really do a full days work of if its stick about in The Commons for lunch, maybe ten minutes to fill in some claims forms and then fuck off down to the brothel to get ones privates sucked by a rent-boy called "John Lewis" so it can be claimed back on expenses.

Obo states:
I for one would be delighted to have each of you tagged with a GPS sensor and have you log (and have audited, weekly) timesheets to show what you do with your days, not just during the recess, but during the whole year.

Because I don't think you fuckers work nearly as hard as you claim to. Ever.

Debbie Purdy

Debbie Purdy is awaiting for a decision from the Law Lords on if her partner would be prosecuted when she decides to end her life at the point when she decides it is no longer worth living..

Her life is her own, it belongs to her alone and is hers to do with as she sees fit. For her partner to be with her on her final journey to Switzerland, is not a crime.

No doubt the God botherers and leftists will twist logic in some way to fit their worldview that other people should have an input into her decision making.

Howard Scrotum, sorry Rt Hon. Howard Stoate MP to fuck the fuck off.

I covered this grasping hoon once before and now the grafting MP has announced he is standing down as an MP, although he says bugger all about his graft an sleaze.

He claimed a total of £55,836 in second home allowances in four years, while having no rent or mortgage to pay.

More than £1,000 of the money was spent in B&Q, the DIY retailer, and hundreds more in other home supply stores such as Focus. Dr Stoate spent £4,520 on Everest replacement windows.

Between 2005 and 2008, Dr Stoate made claims for materials including paint, timber, pipes, shelves, sandpaper, dust sheets and cabling.

Almost all the receipts included in his expense claim are from stores near his constituency home in Dartford, Kent. One B&Q receipt, submitted in 2005, included £5.14 for MDF, £5.96 for stripwood, £24.76 for loft insulation, £8.23 for ready-made plaster, £2.78 for a hinge and £1.30 for a washer.

Two days later, at the same store, Dr Stoate bought a tin of undercoat for £4.98, Dulux gloss paint for £8.28, £4.48 wood stain, a cabinet knob for £2.98 and adhesive for £4.48. Another claim for a B&Q receipt in 2007 included £13.98 for a ball valve, 98p for assorted screws, £4.96 for two tap connectors and £15.78 for three lengths of 15mm tubing.

It would appear that the local paper, The Dartfordtimes also has some choice words on this MP. He also voted to stick two fingers up at the Gurkhas.

See ya around Mr Scrotum, now fuck the fuck off an don't let the door slam shut on ya grafting champagne socialist arse on the way out....

Laura Ripley, render her saggy arse down for bio fuel.

Hat tip to therantingkingpenguin who points out that "This fat cow is taking the piss out of everyone who pays taxes." and the genuine unemployed I shall add.

She is a complete waste of skin - fucking lots of skin.

A 25-year-old unemployed woman who was given an £8,000 operation to help her lose 16 stone is complaining because, as well as her weight loss, her benefits have been reduced.

Laura Ripley, who has never worked, was given the operation on the NHS to help her slim down from 38 to 22 stone.

But the 25-year-old, who receives £600 a month in benefits, is unhappy because as a result of losing weight she can no longer claim disability allowance amounting to an extra £340 a month.

Fuck me, get the ingratitude of this woman. Having never worked a fucking day in her life, she is given at great expense an operation to help save her life.

She sat around eating food, sat around shoving fodder into her gut like some foie gras goose.

Then she has the fucking nerve to piss and moan as due to being less of a lard arse, she is now getting less in benefits. Benefits paid for by the same hard working taxpayers who previously paid her "sick pay" for being a fat slob.

She adds: 'Without my disability allowance I'm left with just £210 incapacity benefit which I get because of my depression, and £100 income support I receive every two weeks and out of that I have to give them back £70 towards the cost of the £500-a-month flat I'm living in.'

Since the extra allowance stopped Laura has put on a stone in just three weeks and claims she is being treated unfairly.

So the state gives her a £500 a month flat, then she gets a nice £210 incapacity benefit due to depression - no doubt caused by her lifestyle choice in becoming a fat cunt. Plus her state income support.

One to cheer everyone up on your way to work. Your taxes keep her in chocs and brown ale whilst you are sitting on a piss stained bus seat next to some other poor sod sneezing his swine flu all over you.

What annoys me is the poor fuckers who keep applying for work, who people like her give a bad name to, who keep trying and get fuck all off the state other than JSA(job seekers allowance). No extra handouts for depression or being a fat cunt.

All they get is bills through the door and thanks but no luck this time letters off of companies they apply for work with.

She states she is not even looking for work, so why not cut her benefits off?
.

Now sun beds are going to kill us all, yet more state fuckwittery.

Sunbeds are as great a cancer threat as cigarettes, global health chiefs have declared.

The dangers of ‘binge tanning’ are so significant that sunbeds have been placed
on the World Health Organisation’s list of the most cancer-causing substances and
habits, alongside arsenic and asbestos.


The ban calls have started already:

Cancer Research UK said the reclassification reinforced its call for sunbed use to be regulated by law.

Have they not heard of free choice?
.

More state fuckwittery: Chocolate bars could be made smaller

Chocolate bars could be cut in size to help fight the obesity epidemic. By epidemic they mean of course, indolent lazy fuckers who eat like pigs, then claim extra money off the state as they are then unable to work being fat cunts.

The Food Standards Agency wants the average bar to be reduced by up to a fifth to reduce daily calorie intake. Have they not thought that the same benefit drawing chavs, the Sharons and Tracys with the six kids -including brown baby - will just eat more bars.

It has drawn up plans for confectioners to make voluntary changes to the size of their snacks.
By 2012 the watchdog wants all confectionary to weigh no more than 50g - currently Mars bars are 58g and Bounty bars 57g.

Manufacturers have also been asked to sell bite-size bars as single items rather than as part of multibags.

They will be discouraged from promoting large supersize items - such as the Maltesers 'Big Bag' and - Mars 'Duo' - and instead encouraged to offer healthier snacks as alternatives .

Fucking pointless nanny state fuckwittery, still it keeps non jobs in work.

Pikey kids to get free laptaps (thats free for them as you pick up the bill)

More than a thousand benefit drawing, driveway tarmacing pikey gipsy and traveller children have been given laptop computers to help them with their schoolwork.

The free equipment and wireless internet access is estimated to be worth up to £750 per pupil, and is costing the taxpayer £300,000 a year.

Some children are also being handed printers and digital cameras under a controversial Government-backed scheme aimed at encouraging them to stay in education.

Just the sort of thing to give them, after all now they can find all the rich areas on Google and go out on the rob.

A survey by the National Association of Teachers of Travellers has found adult travellers are using their children's laptops to book holidays, shop and sell goods online.

It said: 'Initially the restriction on data transfer allowed, due to shared group tariff packages, caused issues when the students became more confident workers and their parents discovered the joys of Amazon, eBay and booking flights online.'

So all your stolen goods will be flogged on Amazon, makes a change from taking it to Cash Generator.

Bob "the knob" Ainsworth and Cyclops

Rogue Gunner delivers a fine blast to our conduct unbecoming Defence Sec. and the PM:
"On a day when the bodies of four UK servicemen are flown back home after making the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan the MOD are in the Court of Appeal. Why may you ask are they costing the British tax payer tens of thousands in legal bills? To make the lives of our young injured servicemen some who have horrific injuries better? No, they are once again making our Heroes fight another battle for adequate compensation that must last them for the rest of their lives.
...
Sometimes your longest War begins when you hand your uniform in and rejoin civvie street."
Here here. Four more brave men brought back in body bags, sent to their death by a government which has no moral compass what so ever.

The same government which then goes to court to reduce the compensation paid to those soldiers.

The same government run by a coward who talks much about courage and yet fails to display any.

Andrew MacKinlay - The odd man out in the Labour shitpile.

I read this MP is planning on standing down.

Andrew MacKinlay is to quit the Commons at the next election after becoming disillusioned with the ability of backbenchers to stand up to Government.

Only 10 Labour MPs voted for a review of the extradition treaty under which the Asperger's sufferer is being sought, even though 74 had signed motions in support of his case.

A shame as we need more MP's equiped with a working set of testicles who are willing to stand up for things. True he might be in my opinion misguided in many things but he hates Brown which proves that that is a silver lining to even the most socialist of clouds.

He said of the Cyclopedian one that he was a mono eyed "rabbit trapped in the headlights of a car"

New Labour - 20 page book on how to use Twitter.

Hat tip to Obo for this one.

Now I am not sure which is the most frightening, the fact that HM Govt has decided to waste its time and our money(as we pay them) to mess about with Twitter.

Or the fact that a bunch of state employed monkeys had to produce a 20 page guide for the Twittering non-jobs in assorted departments to use.

So who is going to submit a FOI request to see how much that waste of money cost us taxpayers? My bet is at least £50,000 quid.


New Labour pissing our money up against the nearest wall since 1997.

Stazi spying UK style.

Nosy neighbours offered upto £500 rewards to spy on residents....Taxpayers’ money is being used to pay “covert human intelligence sources” who report bad conduct to authorities.

Anyone who photographs dog fouling, litter being dropped, graffiti crime or fly tipping which result in prosecution will receive a cash reward.

The amount is staggered, according to how far the prosecution is taken.

If a court summons is issued the snooper gets £100. On a conviction he gets £150 and if the offender gets a maximum sentence he receives £500.

The scheme has been given the Big Brother-style motto “See them, report them”.

It tells residents: “We need your eyes and ears to help us wipe out enviro-crime.” The local council scheme is being launched in London and could eventually be rolled out across the country.

Last night the payments were slammed by critics who said they were a waste of vital public funds.

TaxPayers’ Alliance spokeswoman Susie Squire said: “People are sick and tired of being spied on by their local councils.

“There are far more constructive and cost-effective ways to encourage people to obey the law.

“This initiative is going to cost us dear – in terms of financially and damaging community spirit.”

Doretta Cocks, founder of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collection, said the scheme for recruiting spies was shockingly reminiscent of East Germany’s Stasi secret police.

Waltham Forest council’s Conviction Reward Scheme was introduced last week after the council claimed residents wanted more to be done to tackle environmental crime.

Their website says that the “reward scheme” offers cash to “anyone providing evidence that leads to a prosecution against enviro-criminals, including graffiti, fly-tipping, dog fouling and littering.”

The council describes the money as a “thank you” for alerting them to crimes.

The scheme is just the latest example of councils paying residents for information on offences.

Some UK councils are even paying children to supply them with information on environmental offences like leaving recycling bags and rubbish bins out on the pavement.

Harlow Council, in Essex, employs 25 Street Scene Champions, aged between 11 to 14 who are encouraged to report vandalism to bus shelters, graffiti, abandoned vehicles, fly-tipping and other offences.

Crawley Borough Council, in West Sussex, has 150 Streetcare Champions who are asked to “report on individuals if known”.

Other local authorities recruit adult volunteers and at least 4,841 people are already patrolling the streets in their spare time. Some are assigned James Bond style code numbers, which they use instead of their real names when they ring an informer’s hotline.

Last week it emerged councils are still using surveillance technology to spy on suspected minor offenders despite being banned by law.

Since 2003 they have only been able to use undercover methods in suspected criminal law cases.

But Chief Surveillance Commissioner Sir Christopher Rose said it was of “significant concern” that local authorities were going beyond what was allowed.

In a word: cunts.
