If only inflation was the 4.4% the government admits

Tuesday, 12 August 2008 09:24

Does anyone actually believe the inflation figures the NuLabour put out? In reality inflation is much higher than the official figures, we all know it, and feel it every time we fill up our cars or buy groceries. Gordon Brown must think we're stupid.

What we need is a real measure of how far our money is going, taking into account everything that we spend, including council tax, VAT and all the other stealth taxes that this government has introduced, not a made-up figure that we all know comes from the same place as the old soviet tractor production figures.

 

Barry George did not murder Dando - some of us knew it all the time

It just goes to prove the old adage that if you look hard enough for something you will always find it. In this case it looks like the forensic lads looked and looked, found a minute particle of something or other, applied all their mega-expensive superduper equipement to it and decided that it was a particle or something that could have only come from a gun.

Now after millions spent on trials etc the winner will be Barry George who will be looking at a rather handsome payout which will probably keep him in the style he would like to become used to.

So, who will be facing the sack in the police, crown prosecution service or government?

 

Today 10p tax and car tax, tomorrow pensions

Friday, 11 July 2008 11:10

"The majority of drivers will benefit"

That's what Gordon Brown said about the changes to car tax (VED), but he did not tell the truth, because just like the 10p tax rate fiasco he misled the House of Commons and the country.

The fallout from the 10p tax disaster is massive, the poorest people are still losing out yet the middle-income earners will be better off. This is Gordon Brown bleeding the lowers income families to help the better off. No longer can labour say that they are the party that helps the most needy in our society.

Looking forward what do we see?

There is a bigger revolt coming. The hike in the pensions age.

Things are already in motion, the laws have been passed and the systems are being put in place. The pension age is going up to 68.

Let me repeat that - the pension age is going up to 68.

That is for men and women - wake up 50% of the population, if you are female then you are going to work another 8 years before you get your pension. If there is all the fuss and commons revolt that there has been over the 10p tax abolition and the car tax increases what will happen when the pension age rises?

One thing you can be sure of - Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and Tony Bliar will not be there to pick up the pieces, the revolt will come, but they will all be living the cushy life on their amazing book deals and lecture tours while the women of Britain will still be slaving away.
