The Government may have won the vote, but ...........

Now we see in what contempt this ConDem Government holds the people of this country.For the benifit of those people commenting to the fact that it is the fault of the last Government that we are in this mess, I would say that I agree. However, it is also the fault of the Banking and Finance sectors who have made vast sums of money from gambling in the property and exchange rate markets. then when the gamble failed, went cap in hand to a Government for bail out packages. It isalso the fault of the "markets" who speculate against Countries and reap huge profits when the enonomies fail, as in the case of Ireland, Greece, Portugal etc. (Who is next?)
It is not the fault of Students, Lecturers,Pensioners, Working families, Nurses, benifit claimants, taxpayers generally, or beleive it or not, the Police.
Why should ordinary people pay for the excesses of Markets, Financilal institutions, and the gutless acquiecence of Governments, too terrified to take the measures necessary to control the "City".
People may well criticise the events which took place in Parliament Square yesterday.
This is only the begining. When this Government introduces the measures which will effect people personally, cuts in services, reduction of minimum wage, cuts in expenditre, job losses, reductions in benifits, etc. etc.then we shall see demonstrations of public anger which will make the events of yesterday pale into insignificance.When the Police have to implement cuts to their own front line services, expenditure and support personell, will they too demonstrate?
On News 24 last night, Nick Robinson speaking from the lobby of the Palace of Westminster, concluded his report with the phrase "The Government may have won the vote, but they have lost control of the Streets".
A little premature perhaps, but prophetic in context.

Who created this problem?

What I do not accept is that I, and millions of other people in this country,including students, health care workers, firemen, working families generally, benifit claimants, etc etc should be punished for circumstances which are not of their making. Lets get one fact crystal clear. The present economic situation was caused, created and perpetuated by the Banking and Finacial sectors of this (and other) ecomomies. The New Labour Governements cure for this crisis was to create a bottomless pit of taxpayers money for these inept, incompetent and corrupt organisations to tap into at will, with little if any public control or monitoring of their actions. The bill ran to tens of Billions of Pounds and is still rising on a daily basis with the prospect of pouring more billions into the Irish Banking system within the next few weeks. The previous Government was a financial disaster and the ConDem coalition has perpetuated and expanded the mess. Until such times as this Government (or any Government) get to grips with the fundemental problem and introduce proper and enforceable controls, monitors and balances on the Banks and Financial Institutions, I shall require a great deal of convincing that the British People should pay (in every sense) for the crimes and failings of Governments and "the markets"

Resist the Cuts

In May 1968, the Students took to the streets in Paris, occupied the Sorbonne University (amongst many buildings) and brought Paris to a virtual standstill. Shortly after, the French TU movement joined the students and brought France to a virtual standstill. Soon after that President De Gaulle and all his cabinet resigned and was replaced by a fresh administration.The TUC and others should join the students and lecturers here in the UK today and organise protests against this Governments unfair policies.
Resistance to the ConDem cuts is not just about University fees. It is about unfair cuts to services, spending and jobs which will ultimately effect all of us. The actions of this disasterous ConDem Co alition must be resisted by everyone.

The Banks and finacial sector created the mess.

The Banks and finacial sector created the mess.The last Government, and now the Condem Coalition are pouring billions of Pounds of our money into a rotten and corrupt system, while the people pay the price with punative cuts in services and benifits, huge increases in taxes and duties, rising prices and more job losses. This is a global situation and the protests are growing in an increasing numbers of countries. The protest will be here soon.

Labour Leadership Result and media hysteria

Within minutes of the Labour Party Leadership election results being announced, the rabid fascist right wing media release their name calling scaremongering excrement reminiscent of the days of Thatcher. The first out of the starting blocks was the obnoxious Adam Boulton (of the Alastair Campbell interview fame) closely followed by the lass from Wigan, Kay Burley. (The “Sack Kay Burley” campaign on Facebook should have Adam Boulton added to its aims.) How Sky News manages to continue masquerading as a balanced news programme remains a mystery to us all. Perhaps the fact that it is part of the Rupert Murdoch media empire has something to do with its biased presenters and story lines.
The BBC news coverage was not much better, with various presenters mentioning the “Red Ed“ label. Today (Sunday 26th September 2010) it is the turn of the Sunday Papers to seek to compete with each other for the title of “Who can produce the most hysterical headline and associated story content”. The sad, and worrying thing is that many people in this country actually believe what they see on television and read in the papers. .

Mandelson triggers Labour Civil War

The tentacles of Mandelson again casting their evil shadows. This discredited manipulator should find himself some dark recess in the House of Lords and spend his time dreaming about being Tony's Goblin . He has already done enough damage to anything he touches. I have no axe to grind in respect of the Leadership election, as my preffered candidate has already withdrawn. However, for Mandelson, one third of the biggest disaster ever to strike the Labour movement, to seek again to manipulate the outcome of the election and the direction of the Party, is odious in the extreme.
