News on Pension

Parliamentary Yearbook 2012:  Surely the core problem is that we trust the government (in whatever incarnation)  about as much as pension providers.
Will the guaranteed income be inflation proofed? You can promise me a retirment income of, say, £20,000 a year but what if it only buys a loaf of bread by the time I come to retire?  I welcome the sentiment about burden sharing and more stability but can get past the trust issue myself.

Parliamentary Yearbook 2012:   The expression "Beware Governments bearing Gifts" comes to mind as NO government has ever guaranteed anything like this before and there's 100 ways they could give the illusion of honouring an agreement whilst taxing you in other areas.

Mr Webb, do you honestly think the electorate would trust you on this one after Gordon Brown raided our pensions. Governments implicitly can renege on a promise and there's nothing we can do about it other than kick them out at the following election.

As I've found out just this week, the UK government wont even accept a European Court of Justice ruling that its supposed to implement but instead, the DWP stated that they don't do retrospective rulings on a judgement even though ECJ rulings are retrospective by default.

Government are the law makers and there's nothing we can really do if they change the laws against earlier promises or even court judgements.

Here's a solution Mr. Webb,  hand out small gold bar for the extra levy, pass it to those who paid in and then they can hide it away from any future governments greedy mitts !

Information for Young Drivers

Parliamentary Yearbook 2012: Why is it the UK only has this problem with young drivers looking up the driving age around the world below.
18 comes out on top but 16 Canada/America do they have the same problems.
The driving test should be made harder in my opinion  

Parliamentary Yearbook 2012: Do driving tests still have quotas in that they have to pass or fail certain people depending on ther ethnic type irrespective of their driving abilities?

Parliamentary Yearbook 2012: "How new restrictions would be enforced remains unclear."

Rather stupid to raise it as policy then, don't you think ?
What if the driver has a girlfriend ? or a fiancee ?
Rather bizarre that a learner driver HAS to have a passenger to drive a car, but when he/she passes the test they aren't allowed one.

Parliamentary Yearbook 2012:  The insurance companies are in effect doing tmost of he job already with intergalactic premium for anything with any go.
Trouble is even basic cars are much too powerful and fast for those that want to show off or drink - 60bhp and 100mph top speed is the norm.  In the 1960s it was 35bhp and 70mph.

Information on English Traditions

parliamentary information office: I've lived in the UK for almost 20 years now, I still get a bit confused by some traditions, then there are things that aren't really tradition I don't think like boxing day, where I come from we don't have boxing day but when I ask people where it came from etc no one really seems to know.





parliamentary information office:

75% of the population are Christian, yet like the BBC we have an immigrant creed at the forefront of religion in our society?

Minister of faith and community, apparently the only community that counts now are the Muslims.

Let's all pander so they do not blow us up. Islam is a dangerous virulent political force that has no place in a western society.





parliamentary information office:
They are here because
they love what Britain has to offer – and that’s not just jobs and more
freedoms...We know. It's the benefits, houses, free NHS, no judicial system, ECHR, etc. Need I say more?




parliamentary information office:


What is worrying is that there is a hard line atheist element is society that uses the "inclusion" argument to discourage traditional Christmas celebration.
They want to change Easter into "Spring Break" as well. Watch out for this because the tactic is to push for a fixed time for the Easter school holiday. Once it does not follow the date of Easter they can rename it.

Guide on Home Owner

parliamentary information office: How long before the socialist agenda in Britain marks out homeowners as the eliteist few deserving of the odd brick though the window and key scratch along the side of the car. As Obama has proved the dead beats are in the ascendency and will drive their own envious agenda. Labour started the trend by placing social housing in the middle of hitherto desirable residential estates.
Better to not display your hard working credentials and rent something low key in a drab area to show solidarity.



parliamentary information office: Declining home ownership is the result of changing demographics.
Quite litterally, the British "Middle-classes" have been decimated.
Gone are the business owners and professional engineers, say Hello to the call-centre tele-marketeers and Hamburger flippers.

We are now in a country that has urgent need of swathes of new council houses, but we need to destroy swathes of owner-occupied suburbia to build them.
Demand for council houses (and for mansions for the super rich is at an all-time high ), but gone is the demand for middle class family homes. Sure, people do want to own them, but those that do cannot afford them.
Our public sector professionals can still afford them, but how much longer can we afford THEM ?

Home ownership will eventually die, as our nations skill-set gets lower and lower.

   




parliamentary information office: With the internet you can find out some interesting things but would need to be careful about what some websites publish as it can be misleading.
I have just checked out the annual incomes for the work we did when we started out decades ago. I then looked on the internet for the current price of our first home and for a mortgage calculator for the monthly cost over the same pay back period.
The result is, when we started out decades ago, the monthly cost of the mortgage was one month's full income after tax(mine). The cost now per the mortgage calculator would be half of one months income after tax(my old job at the current income today) with a very much lower interest rate. If you get five minutes try it and see if you get a similar result. Here is a link to the mortgage rates over the decades. When the interest was in double numbers, inflation was nearly 20% also.




parliamentary information office:

Oh where to start... home ownership provides stability, community and property. The state hates all of those.  Permanance is power, as Humph has said. If people live together they form a community. A community acts together for it's own good.

No, far better to have division within that community, split it up, shift people from 'outside' into it. Division causes conflict and strife. Difference allows room for someone else, someone stronger to step in.

At every level the family, the community is under constant barrage from government which is acting solely to it's own agenda of divide and conquer, but instead of guns, it uses legislation.

Living Overseas

parliamentary information office: This is surely a moot point. It may be that, albeit at the present time,they cannot command and demand the money they were once used to. I hope it means that now there are places for graduates and people who are willing to work with what is required in current times.

parliamentary information office: This article and the report it was based on, are sheer political spin. They put a slant on the emigration figures that it is quite unjustified by the facts. No attempt was made to assess the reasons why the "scientists, academics and pharmacists" left the UK. Instead we are given run-of-the-mill right-wing arguments for cutting the tax take from high earners. But for anyone who knows about incomes of scientists and academics, it`s their low basic rate of pay that is the problem. The Office of National Statistics found that total reward for graduates was 6% lower in the public sector than the private sector. And George Osborne`s virtual freeze on public-sector pay since that assessment has meant the shortfall is now greater. I have long argued from experience in the North-east, that the professionals working for oil companies have total reward twice as great as their equivalents with similar degrees doing equally weighty jobs in the public sector. We now have some figures.

parliamentary information office: Good luck to those of you that want to better yourselves because their is not a lot on offer in The UK

parliamentary information office: Many people who emigrate do so because they do not want to bring their children up here as they have poorer chances of succeding as young adults. When I was in Canada recently, I met quite a few enterprising young Brits who had emigrated because they felt they had better chances than in the UK . The problem is that English being the universal language attracts educated and able youngsters from other European countries to come here to compete for university places and jobs. Our young people cannot emigrate to other European countries. How many speak Polish or Lithuanian? So its off to Canada and Oz . Its not so much a brain drain as being squeezed out. When can we leave the EU and call our country home again?

Secret Messages Publish Info

parliamentary information office: The texts weren't very secret since we all  now know about them. And, given the content, it's right that we should know about them. She looks forward to working together? And professionally they're in it together?
That does not sound like a relationship a PM should be having with a newspaper executive - even if he did go to the same school as her husband, which has even less relevance unless they were actually in the same year.
Mr Cameron really does have boundary issues and a strange idea of what constitutes loyalty for a man in his position as PM. He has difficulty differentiating between loyalty to country and loyalty to mates. If he doesn't like being disliked he's in the wrong job.


parliamentary information office: Anyone who's met a hack ( or anyone with a keen sense of smell) realises that scummy tarts, or even bullshitting boys stand out from 100 metres away ( Vince Cable please note). Grown-ups show them the door ( in a polite way) because they have no qualms about crapping over most people for their own ends.

The naivete among the UK Establishment is shocking - and that's why they shouldn't have access to "levers" of power.

We are being eaten alive by trained barracudas from around the World - and they need smart, tough handling.



parliamentary information office: Personally I don`t care if Brooks or Murdoch sucked Camerons dick of the other way round.

I DO care about the fact that they may have colluded in manipulating the media to hide the truth about illegal activities and government activities, if there is indeed a separation...


parliamentary information office: That horse text is such a obvious attempt at flirting with Mrs Brooks. Cringe.... One just knows there's so much worse to come.

Views on Marriage

parliamentary information office: What we have now is a left leaning parliament and we have had a left leaning parliament for decades. One of their main aims was to destroy marriage and the family. Doing this makes society weaker and easier to manipulate, and they are nearly there, only now Cameron wants to revive it, but only for homosexuals and lesbians. Politicians are afraid of the strength and strong bonds of the family unit.
Though, this is all part of the plan, a plan to sap the strength of Britain, to make us a weak and malleable nation, so they can sell us out to their vile political ideologies.



parliamentary information office: Why would you want to promote marriage amongst poor people (which a state handout would do)? All that would happen is they would breed a load of poor children who would need housing, clothing and feeding at the state's (thats our) expense, etc.

OK, is that controversial enough?



parliamentary information office: The scars of divorce - very true. We could help marriage by reforming family law, bringing into line with the law in many other developed Western countries. What you owned before the marriage should remain yours alone, not be split: out with the concept of matrimonial property, only what you build together after the marriage should be split. You should also be able to make legally-binding pre-nup contracts. And custody should be shared by default.


parliamentary information office:
All very good, but the reality is the state hates marriage. It hates - actively - families to the point of doing everything to destroy them.

The family, the married couple do not need the state. This terrifies the  state engine: all those hundreds of thousands of well adjusted, intelligent, active children? What use would they have for endless social workers, police officers, intervention officers, bureaucrats, welfare people....

No, the state will never change it's views on the family. It would be easy for it to do so but it chooses not to for it's own benefit.

Budget Information

parliamentary information office: Give us a referendum on leaving the hated EU then, then youll see what the average Briton wants.


parliamentary information office: Labour are the same as this shower of little rich boys we now have, the same as the FibDems, the same as the bankers and coroprate powers that are behind them, lurking in the darkness.


parliamentary information office: you are clearly a Labourite who has made her love for the EU clear, so surely you don't need the rest of your fellow Labourites to make a case for an institution that they sold out our country to during their 13 years in power????


parliamentary information office: The UK should be proud of its EU membership, the benefits being a part of it are vast. Its emphasis on corporation and peace are its most admired principles. The free movement of works, free movement of goods are both great ideas that a lot of places on Earth can only dream of.

Wind Energy

parliamentary information office

To suggest the battle against wind farms is won is pure hubris. Your rant has been heard before. Indeed, all the wrongs you level at wind power are, to some degree at least, true. However, the list of failings at the end could easily be matched by the failings of a fossil fuel power system. Worse, fossil fuels will run out, unlike wind power. And of course, the big elephant in the room is global warming. Have you 'conveniently' forgotten that? So while you witter on about property values and the Tories in the shires, you have forgotten that to mitigate AGW, sacrifices have to be made and some very inconvenient things need to be done. I do agree the pain should be shared and not fall on individuals. By the way, having even 100% backup for renewables is only the plant, not the fuel. For as long as the turbines are running, the coal does not need to burn, so who's being deceitful now?

parliamentary information office

For all the puff about how dumb Dave is, the truth is he is a clever chap. He must know that wind farms are just supported by subsidy, so why did the threat of taking the industry out of Britain cause him to blink?

It's the same as trying to fill a swimming pool by taking a bucket, filling it at one end, running around, sloshing some over the side and pouring it in at the other.

That's how subisdy works. Surely Dave understands that? Even accounting for the peripheral benefits it is still taking tax from one part of the economy and giving it back to another.  


parliamentary information office

There are several of the monsters being currently erected near where I live. We too have, over a period of years, been told of the massive numbers of jobs these things would create.

The turbines are being imported from Germany and are being unloaded at a local harbour. Today I spotted one of the lorries which were going to be used to transport them from the harbour to the place where they are to be erected.

Having previously seen another large Wind Collection Factory created in the area I am aware that it is only during the erection period that there were any local jobs, and they wre not created, they only involved work for a local transport firm delivering the various parts to the site.

What I saw today made it obvious that on this occasion not even that would happen. The first thing I noticed was that the driver was driving from the left hand side which made me take more notice. When I looked at the front of the lorry I saw that writing was in German, or something very similar as I only had a fleeting glimpse whilst driving past. One thing is certain, it definitely wasn't English or any of the other languages of these islands.

One thing has become very obvious, the Eco Warriors will lie, lie and lie again in their mania for forcing these horrors on us at whatever the cost to both the economy or the despoiling of the British countryside, especially those sought out by tourists who treasure it's beauty.

when the specialist study on the
health effects of low frequency noise is produced by the Royal Institute
of Acoustics... are likely to strike a blow from which the wind industry can
never recover...'

All the scientific bodies with 'Royal' in the title that I know, have previous form in producing extremely dodgy non-science and very biased reports. I can't help feel that having Prince Charles 'the Letter Writer' as the Royal connection to those various Royal societies has something to do with their deeply eco-fascist bias.
Somehow I can't see the 'Royal' Institute of Acoustics producing any report that isn't Agenda 21 approved and full of glowing praise for the acoustic benefits that wind turbines produce.
