Social Benefits are not for the Brits!

Let me go back 21 years when my wife and I escaped from Kuwait. We arrived in the UK with nothing as everything was left in our escape.
Anyway when I went to the Social Benefits office I explained the situation and was told that there wasd nothing they could do for me. I then confirmed with them that an Iraqi was being paid to stay in a Mayfair apartment at Stg 2000 a month and the social benefits person said " Oh yes! if you was Iraqi I can give you all kinds of things!"
Then this week it was announced in the press that some dubious Somali family all of about 10 of them had arrived in Britain and had a Luxury house for Stg 83,000 a year plus the Father and child had another apartment elsewhere.
Where is the Common Sense and why are we paying for immigrants when we cannot get anything in their country. Why do you think they come here, it's so easy for them to make money and not work.
They also get clothing, Unemployment, family allowance etc etc
And I bet they get their own mosque!!!!

It's about time the UK government ended all of this unjustixces for the British people.
Why else is the UK in such debt!!
And why are we pledging billions of pounds to other countries when we can't support ourselevs and our people??

Social Services are out of control

Today the Sun newspaper reports on a couple who refused to give their child junk food to increase his weight, according to a doctor and they had their son taken away from them and it took 4 months of fighting Social Services and courts to get him back again.
When they did the Social Services agreed that the parents were good parents.

So the question is why did they take him away and cause the parents and the child all the trauma?

Do gooders and people with no parenting skills what so ever and were most probably childless gays!

Common sense = The government is trying to stop obesity and people to cut down Junk food.
The government is trying to get people to eat healthily.
There was no threat to the boy
There was no real reason apart from not allowing Junk food, for them to take this action.
Why did it take so long for the court to see this waste of money.
Why do Social Services allow kids to be killed when they are in danger?

Why is there apparently NO recourse against Social Services?

On many occassions I have advocated that Social Services should take on pensioners who have brought up families.
Our pensioners like anyone else like to help and feel needed with their experience.
This will cut the shortage of staff in many Social Service areas.

Otherwise let these parents take the Social Services to court for wrong doing and for the menatkl anguish and then we shall see what happens.

I have practical experience having been trained with some of them from the North of England!!

They are all a bunch of Bankers!

Use Common Sense Labour for heavens sake!

Instead of going into brinkmanship with the top management of banks and especially RBS, who are threatening to resign if they don't get their Stg1 million bonuses.

Call their bluff and let them resign, but you as the government and majority owner of the banks, state that if they do resign, they can never be a Director or any other senior manager again, in a financial institution of any kind.

I think this will make them think again!!!

Grow up and stop shaking the rattle.

Labour will back down in some way as they always do!

UK services cuts

After the announcement of overtime cuts in the police, expect more cuts in:

Local council services such as:
Dustmen
Road cleaning

Then

Nurses
Fire Brigade
Teachers overtime
Any service that requires overtime for people to get a decent wage.

What you won't see is a cut in M.P's expenses etc. They will still get their 20-25% increase. Sounds like Animal Farm to me.
You won't see a cut in Local tax rates to account for the cut in services either!

UK is prime for mafias

Labour are announcing today to cut Police overtime by up to 20%.

The affects of this is an increase in crime.
Police numbers to dwindle because the salary is not good enough
Mafias will move in even more because of the lack of investigation and control.

Car theft is already on the increase as more and more "Eastern bloc" migrants come to car washes. Seeking cars worth nicking taking the number plates and getting the addresses. They then get into houses and steal the car keys and then driving off in the "pre-ordered"cars.
This has been going on for years in Europe and is now becoming prevalent in the UK.
The mafia for cars is normally the Bulgarians.

Restoring banking

Isn't it about time that the Bank of England and the FSA start telling the banks to get back to core business.
Why does RBS own:
Restaurants
Real Estate (not just repossessed houses)
Hotels
Designer labels
etc

Surely if they went back to basics the world will be a better place!
If they banks don't agree then slap a higher Capital ratio on their holdings

Euro catch up!

It shouldn't be a surprise to many people that Europe is now being hit with the Credit Crunch as a lagger to the UK!

This is historical and fact that Europe will always lag to the Uk and Germany's refusal to provide money supply to the market is now causing problems and also with their refusal to ease the banks provisions and capital ratio's.
It seems that bank lending has reduced in the Eurozone by .8%.
Now they will see the crunch hitting harder as things are picking up in the UK.

However, it will take the UK years to sort this mess out!

I wonder if the UK can show how to sort this mess out. I doubt if the Labour Government will, but the Conservatives will have to bring in their own Austerity package for a good 5-10 years.
