I know he is trying to drum up business for the UK and I appreciate it, but this is where his Foreign policy knowledge falls flat.
It appears that he is welcoming Turkey into the EU or at least in words supporting it.
However, I don't think he has seen what has happened in Holland and Germany.
1. The old adage for the Turks. One in ALL in!!
2. Increasing raciual tension and Germnay has stopped the mass influx of Turks
3. Holland is also having underlying tension between Turks and nationals.
4. Schiphol is overrun with Turks and they more or less have their own terminal for flights.
In both Germany and Holland the Turks have invaded and taken a lot of the jobs because they are cheap. They mass and create their own communities and then demand equal rights!!
In the UK 95% of new jobs under Labour went to foreigners.
My question: what is left for the UK Nationals at the end of the day?
This will create more tension and will explode in the next decade.
What I don't understand is if Turkey and their culture is so good, why don't they all go back to Turkey?
It's bigger than the UK I think in size and at the hub of Europe and Middle East.
Why won't they integrate with whomever they invade?
Why are the youngsters all so shifty and stand on corners smoking and seem to be hiding things.
Very sinister.
Not even cheap for holidays anymore!

BP
So BP are trying to appease the USA by installing a Yankee boss!
Well it might work and it might not. If it does then they are more gullible than I thought.
However, share a thought for the Tony Hawayd the outgoing boss!!
He has been given a pension of about GBP 930,000 a year and has been given a non-executive
position with the Russian joint venture TNK-BP.
Now when I was in Russia it was horrible apart from being -22c.
The people were drinking at 9am going to work and that was the women, so it gives you an idea of life over there, that the women have to drink to forget their existance at 9am.
However, it is one of the worst currupt and mafia run places in the world, still full of KGB. I remember BP had to pay off the Russian government to get the venture going, even after BP had already been given a license.
The Russians didn't like it so they ordered the joint venture.It's called dangle the carrot and then screw them!
If I was Tony Hayward I would say thanks but no thanks and grab the money and run!!

Arizona kicking out illegals
There is a lot of hype at the moment about a law in Arizona.
The law says that it will become an offense (as if it wasn't) to be an illegal and presumably imprisonable.
Now the Illegals are selling up and leaving, only to go to another state.
I am not sure why the law was passed and I guess it could have been that (1) they don't contribute to taxes etc (2) there are too many.
As I understand it, this law has been around for about 2 years so there was plenty of notice.
So thge newspapers are telling stories of illegals selling their possessions and leaving.
Personally I can't see a problem with this, for crying out loud they are ILLEGALS! or in USA terms ILLEGAL ALIENS!
If anything the local businesses should be up in arms as they are losing cheap labour, but they aren't.
Let's see what the other states do when they have an influx of illegals.
We should do this in the UK !!!

NHS cuts are in the wrong areas
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/7908742/Axe-falls-on-NHS-services.html
So NHS is deciding to cut, Treatment, services, nurses etc.
The government has NOIT learned a lesson yet.
4 middle managers for every patient just isn't required and it is these positions that need to go!!
Of course the NHS is run by bungling power crazy people who can't manage or organize a 'piss up in a brewery'!!
The mis-management is out of control and it needs a strong Prime minister to change all of this.

New website will be coming soon
After yet another stupid council person thought of naming the Norfolk Broads ( pretty flat land with canals and holiday makers on barges) to the Magical Wonderland and other ideas and laws that waste money which is out tax money and no accountability I have decided to start a new website.
I have a number of friends willing to help.
The website is to list any stupid and PC rule/law and then name and shame the person who put it forward.
Also, we will try and list the cost to the tax payer.
It will be a community website and will cover:
++National Governments
++Local Councils
++EU Parliament
++Any Country
We know it goes on, but there is no accountability or transparency to these rules/laws and in most cases no referendum. These are generally brought in to appease associations, help corporations, help new ideas.
Example:
Light bulbs must be energy saving and new light bulbs must be produced.
Why? the others have lasted for tens of years.
The new light bulbs are a con to help the manufacturing industry.
In Amsterdam the new bulbs cost about Euro5.5 compared to a normal light bulb of about 50p.
Then it states they last for 5 years. Well mine lasted 2 weeks!!!
So the governments or in this case the EU help the light bulb people initially, by helping them make more money. In return we the government gets more tax! Well not if they last 5 years!
So it's all nonesense. What about the people who can't stand fluourescent lights. Like me it causes me a reading problem and some people have already stated it gives them a migraine!!

Elderly could still face 'death tax' to pay for care
What did I say about 6 months ago.
We are going to get taxed on either dieing or in fact being alive longer than the Government plans!!
The next thing will be a tax on being born.
Lets get this straight!!
The Government wants people to work in order to pay taxes. For this to be done we need babies for the future.
However, in order to have babies the government may tax us.
All our lives they will tax us in many ways.
We die and they tax us for having being in existance.
The world is MAD!!!!

Who is accountable these days?
Having made comments about silly and stupid laws passed in the UK and Europe I was having a discussion with my American friend and colleague yesterday. This discussion has been playing on my mind all night.
It dawns on me that he is absolutely correct (Although I don't like admitting he is correct) about government and local government and about who is responsible and accountable for the stupid decisions made.
Example:
Rule from EU that UK cannot import curved bananas!
The very fact that bananas grow on trees and have done for centuries and grow bent for a reason, in order to to bunch on the stalk high up, some stupid low brained idiot makes a rule. Most probably (1) they are a no brainer and have noithing to do (2) they are paid by someone to do this like a new banana growing country that has perfected a straight banana.
Example 2
EU nationals can come to the UK and claim all benefits including Children's benefit and housing benefit although the family is in their own country.
This drains STG 100's millions of pounds from our taxes, to just be siphoned off
Now in these 2 examples we should be asking ourselves
++Who Proposed these ideas
++Who decided to pass the law
++What are the consequences
++What does it mean to the UK individual.
Basically all of these questions are lost amongst beaurocracy and the fact that it is a body of people ( Civil Service, EU pariliament etc) who pass or sneak these stupid rules through.
With David Cameron passing decisions through to local council to hand back to the people, I don't think this will work. Some say it's a cost cutting exercise, but I don't think it will be.
1. A Head of Council earns about STG30k a year and now they will be asked to look after STG100 millions pounds and to run a county. Would you like to have to make these decisions for STG 30k a year. Of course not! So their salaries will go up to about STG150k a year, plus all of their cronies.
2. Many of them have had no business experience or real budgeting experience. In fact most are retired.
3. None of them undertsand for instance how much an IT project would be worth or how long it would go on. The same for road maintenance.
4. Most council employees are in it for the pension. They have no desire to make decisions or put their head above the parapet.
5. Being a Council employee has been about power. So if they get all of these millions, they will want to build empires and this will be a waste of money.
So all in all I hope that you can get my drift.
