Clegg. Hypocrite, liar and unprincipled opportunist. Warsi. Hysterical
outpourings (again) from a person who would be better employed getting a
job (if she could find one) in the real world, like school assistant,
care worker or even lollipop lady. Both
from privileged backgrounds, both very well off thank you very much,
both who have never had to worry about heat or eat, both who never had
to consider how they will get on when reaching retirement age, both
representing no one except their own class and interests. Don't lecture
me on the rights and wrongs of public protest when you are spending
£Billions on an event which will only benefit business interests, and
the elite few. The rest of us will be paying for this extravaganza for
years. When working people are subjected to the excesses you and your
ConDem coalition inflict on us every day, do not bleat if we fight back
with any weapon which we may have. A message for D. Milliband. support
working people and agree with protest.

The price of petrol
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/oilprices/9093934/Oil-price-hits-eight-month-high-on-Iran-sanctions.html
Could someone, preferably from the oil companies, please explain the following mystery. On Sunday, there was a stock of petrol in the tanks at filling stations across the country. The Oil refineries in the UK were perhaps almost full of imported oil. There were many oil tankers on the high seas, bound for destinations all over the world and in particular Europe. All of the oil in these locations was brought and paid for some days if not weeks previously at the price level then in existence. At the same time, (Sunday) the price at the pumps,at least in the filling stations round here, was about £1.379 per litre. Also on Sunday, Iran announced that it was placing an oil Embargo on France and the UK, in addition to the measures against 6 other European countries announced last Friday. HEY PRESTO !! overnight the price of petrol at our local filling stations jumps to £1399 per litre !! I have a knowledge of Economics after 4 years of study, and the only model that these facts can fit is the one marked "Profiteering Greed".

A constant drip feed

The constant drip feed of disinformation and propaganda appears to be working, at least in the United States. As someone once said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"

Lebensraum Israeli style. Grab the land for illegal occupation. remove the population with a bit of ethnic cleansing, build a few houses with a bit of infrastructure thrown in and HEY PRESTO! another little bit of Eretz Israel has been created.
"............the takeover of land in Area B is a combination of unbridled thievery by settlers and impotence on the part of the Israeli authorities."
If the "authorities" cant stop them, others will have to. The "playground bully" will always be a bully until someone gives him a bloody nose.

Hague doing what Hague does best. Spouting sabre rattling rhetoric, in support of the warmongering morons in Washington and Tel Aviv. They are all itching to attack Iran and expect the rest of us to believe that their hysteria is in our best interests. Well Hague, Clinton and Bibi, when you launch this insane adventure, don't expect me to follow you.

Extradition Treaty which only works one way
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17146487
Another example of the Extradition Treaty which only works one way. The Torries in opposition pledged to change the system, but as ever, in Government the ConDem's prove yet again to be subservient to Washington. If this guy has committed a crime, which seems doubtful, then he should be tried in this country, not handcuffed, placed in an orange jump suit a la Guantanamo, and practically kidnapped off to the USA. .

It is not just a question of Cameron being a hypocrite.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/pm-accused-of-hypocrisy-after-attacking-critics-of-big-business-7440162.html
It is not just a question of Cameron being a hypocrite. He intentionally, or worse, deliberately, misses the point. It is not big business per se that is being attacked. The attack is targeted at the financial excesses of big business. The greed and in some cases corruption associated with business, the "Rip Off" activities and profiteering.. The connivance and the individual involvement of many politicians in the business sector and the way in which Government actions appears to encourage business at the expense of the public. Companies allowed and encouraged to exploit consumers with higher and higher prices whilst announcing higher and higher profits. Energy companies making millions of pounds while people have to choose between heat or eat ,Banks awarding themselves huge bonuses while others have their basic pay frozen again, in some cases for the 3rd year in a row. The list of criticisms is endless and will continue for as long as Governments of any political persuasion, allow these obscene practices to continue. The whole business and political structure is rotten to the core and filled with those who think more of their pockets than their principles.

Benefit claimants have their benefits suspended if they are subject to investigation, yet this company who have been investigated by The by the DWP and are currently under 2 separate police investigations for fraud, still receive payments AND are now awarded a new contract. What the hell is going on? There is something very fishy about the whole set up between the DWP, the Government and A4e. Hundreds of millions of Pounds of OUR money has already been poured into A4e. WHY? Who is becoming very rich at our expense?
