Filthy Poor, Make Them Pay!

For anyone in doubt that it is the "lower classes" that should pay for the excesses of the last forty years, a new report authored by the National Institute for Economic & Social Research for the Resolution Foundation shows that it was the poor who drove the pre-crisis debt boom.

Yes indeed, the poor are to blame. We all knew it.

The Case For A "Greenback" Pound

There is one question which will have system-serving politicians and economists running for cover:  why can’t the British government through its Treasury issue  interest free money based upon the common wealth and integrity of this country - worth trillions?

Why do our politicians go straight to the private bankers, who simply create money completely out of thin air ... just figures on a computer screen ... and when this ‘money’, or more accurately this ‘nothingness’, is received by our government, we, as taxpayers, start paying the exorbitant interest which is currently costing the British people in real money at least £125,000,000 a day, or more than £44,000,000,000 a year?

The answer, of course, is very simple and to the point.

The Queen's Speech

Today the Queen gave her speech to both houses of parliament, setting out the forthcoming plans of the Coalition for the year ahead. 

As expected, reform of the House of Lords was on the list.

This bill is being hailed as a 'power to the people' type of legislation, but nothing could be further from the truth, as this bill will allow the speakers of both houses to select a private committee that would "elect" part of the house of Lords.

Judge, Jury & Executioner

In 1748, French political thinker, Montesquieu, identified in De l’esprit des lois the three branches of government between which power should be allocated and separated: the executive which takes action to implement the law, defend the nation, conduct foreign affairs and administer internal policies; the legislative which makes law, and the judiciary which applies the law to determine disputes and punish criminals. According to the doctrine the executive cannot make law. Neither can the legislative determine disputes or any of the branches exercise the power of the other.

S&P Admits Greek Debt Will Have To Be Restructured Again

While Moritz Kraemer, head of sovereign ratings at Standard & Poor believes Greece will have to restructure its debt once more, the ECB calls for more regime change.

Speaking at an event last night at the London School of Economics, Kraemer said he believed that this time round, Greece would have to involve bailout partners such as the International Monetary Fund. Commenting on the likelyhood of a further restructuring, he siad:

I’m not predicting today when ... At that time maybe the official creditors need to come into the boat.

Perhaps he was alluding to the Titanic.

Cameron's Franco British Defence Pact Undermines UK's Independent Strategic Nuclear Defence Capability

The UK Column has warned for many years that British military capability is to be deliberately undermined and run down so as to force the United Kingdom into inter-dependence with Europe in order to provide realistic and capable defence.

Key to this policy is the weakening and ultimately, the removal of Britain’s independent nuclear deterrent, which is delivered by the Royal Navy’s nuclear Vanguard class ballistic missile submarines. Armed with 16 Trident Ballistic Missiles, which can each carry multiple warheads, these submarines are based at Faslane on the west coast of Scotland.

A Bunch Of Mundane Hacks

So, at last you are all starting to see me for what I really am. You lot thought I was ineffectual, weak, empty headed and devoid of all personality. You probably thought I was some kind of soulless clone. You were right, but I am also absolutely determined to do what I’m told. As soon as Ken gets his whips out, I know what I must do.

But I am getting mighty hacked off by the speed that my MPs are willing to act. Don’t they appreciate who we are all working for? If they did, they’d work harder, I can tell you. Austin Mitchell has it absolutely right when he calls them “mundane hacks” not fit to be at Westminster. They’re going to get a shock. Because if we don’t succeed in meeting the targets I have been set, they will be right there in the camps with you lot. These idiots don’t know what’s good for them.

A Dark Age Lights the Way

In the first decade of the 5th century AD, in the years before Alaric marched his Visigoth horde into Rome and sacked the city, Britannia was, albeit temporarily, at peace. In the four hundred years since the first Roman invasion, tyrannical military force had largely tamed the native Celtic population, bringing classical education, economic stability, and ultimately, even Christianity to the Islands, following its adoption as the official religion of the Empire in 313 AD. 

We normally think of history as one catastrophe after another, war followed by war, outrage by outrage – almost as if history were nothing more than all the narratives of human pain, assembled in sequence. And surely this is, often enough, an adequate description. But history is also the narratives of grace, the recounting of those blessed and inexplicable moments when someone did something for someone else, saved a life, bestowed a gift, gave something beyond what was required by circumstance ...

BBC Given Free Reign To Continue Blatant Propagandising

The UK Supreme Court has upheld the refusal by the BBC to release information under the Freedom of Information Act, on the basis that it is exempt when that information is held for the purposes of "journalism, art or literature", even when the information is also used for other purposes.

The case was brought by a UK based solicitor, Steven Sugar, who had wanted the BBC to release the Balen Report, an internal report into the BBC's coverage of the Middle East. Mr Sugar had claimed that the BBC was biased against Israel.

Behind The Oxford & Cherwell Valley College Threat of "Action" Against The UK Column

Investigations into abuse, racism, pornographic videos, abuse of trust and neglect at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College have now restarted following exposure by the UK Column. But victims remain concerned that those who failed to protect them originally are again leading the investigation, and there will be a cover-up.

Photographed below holding a letter of support from his MP Andrew Smith, Daniel Arnold is just one brave victim who is now determined to help other victims and bring perpetrators to justice.

Operation Austere Challenge 2012 Back On In October

It seems that Bibi and Barry are best of friends again. Operation Austere Challenger 2012, the joint Israeli/US military "exercises", which were cancelled following a spat between Presidents Netanyahu and Obama, have been rescheduled for October.

Operation Austere Challenge 2012 will be the largest joint Israel/US military exercises in history. The exercises will involve 3000 troops, as well as the deployment of the United States' Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system and the ship-based Aegis system. Israel’s own Arrow, Patriot and Iron Dome missile systems will work in cooperation with their US counterparts.

GOP Gets Ready To Asset Strip America

The Republican Party Presidential campaign could well be described as the best street theater since Punch and Judy.

As ever, it is a mixed bag of outright racists, homophobes, warmongers, religious demagogues and, last but not least, private equity carpetbaggers. Only libertarian leaning Dr Ron Paul, who is enjoying solid and surging support amongst young and independent voters, could be described as a remotely honest and genuine candidate for what is otherwise a pretty good advertisement for national suicide.

You Think Britain Has A Pensions Problem?

While we wrangle with our respective public or private employers about what pensions we might receive in the future, French pensioners are already having payments withheld.

At the end of December, almost 300,000 retired employees of SNCF, the French railway company, discovered that they had only been paid a third of their normal amount. The remainder was due to be paid yesterday.

The rather worrying reason for this, was that Credit Agricole, one of France's top three banks, which has responsibility for passing the necessary cash to the agency that distributes it, refused to do so.

The Problem With Positive Money

Positive Money bills itself as “a simple solution to the debt crisis”. With a cursory glance, it might appear to be making some of the right noises. On closer inspection, however, there’s just nothing there.

Positive Money states that it wants three things:

1. Make banks ask our permission before they gamble with our money.

Met Police Spends Millions of Pounds on Secret Aircraft

We are told that secret fixed-wing aircraft have been used by the Met since 1997 and yet even The Metropolitan Police Authority knew nothing about them!

James Cleverly, Metropolitan Police Authority member, who is on The Counter Terrorism and Protective Services Sub-Committee, London Assembly Member and Freemason, states that he knew nothing of the existence of these aircraft.

One of the roles of The Metropolitan Police Authority is to scrutinise spending and yet they claim to know nothing of these planes.

There is something seriously wrong here!

Credit Easing - More Of The Same

So Osborne's big idea is out in the open now. It's called "credit easing", and it's not quite what it seems to be.

So Osborne's big idea is out in the open now. It's called "credit easing", and it's not quite what it seems to be.

Media commentators are presenting it as a much needed shot in the arm to British business. No longer will they have to go cap in hand to unsympathetic bank managers, who cannot lend them any money, because they don't have any money to lend. Now, they can issue some corporate bonds, and swap them for cash at the Bank of England.

But what does this mean, for the country and for the companies who take part?

Questions for Mr R. Stewart MP Penrith & Borders

The following letter was sent yesterday by one of Mr Stewart's constituents:

Dear Mr Stewart.

Political traitors, such as Heath and Asquith walked freely till the day they died, and more recent traitors, such as  Hurd, Cameron, Blair, Brown, etc.  are still walking freely along the streets of England, unpunished for the hideous crimes they have indulged in.

Ugly Meaningless Art - Shropshire

urprisingly the BBC propaganda machine accurately reports that Shropshire is spending even more money - now more than £1 million - on its own special piece of ugly meaningless art. In this case a 40ft high stone arch called the Quantun Leap, to supposedly celebrate the birth of Charles Darwin.

Cameron's Dangerous Private Armies & Foreign Police On Our Streets

But the real plan is this - Cameron cynically understands that the British public is not yet ready, and in many places, very wary of European Police Officers coming on to British Streets.

Dear All

I would like to alert the UK public to dangerous moves by Cameron to establish 'private armies' and foreign police on our streets. The story begins with Cameron pressing for the American 'super-cop' Bill Bratton to become a senior police officer. Cameron is thrusting his US mate forward, knowing that Bratton has been collaborating with British police over many years, and thus knows the system.

Britain's Final Solution

We are all familiar with the atrocities of the Nazis. The same planning which slowly worked it's way into the full blown evil that we look back on in horror, is at work again.

In the 1930s, Hitler and his colleagues were well aware that a programme of euthanasia would be opposed by the German public if it were introduced in it's entirety from the outset, so they began by working to change public opinion slowly, but surely, via a campaign of propaganda. The National Socialist Racial and Political Office (NSRPA) produced leaflets, posters and short films to be shown in cinemas, pointing out to Germans the cost of maintaining asylums for the incurably ill and insane.

Igloo, Common Purpose & Global Change

In a previous UK Column article, I introduced readers to  a video featuring an organisation named IGLOO.

The video narrator encouraged viewers to:

Imagine a single place which connects diverse minds from around the world for a Common Purpose: Global change. Where contribution, collaboration and sharing are valued most.  A place that provides free, easy access to leading edge research, knowledge and expertise.  Where collective wisdom is used to create innovative ideas and solutions to the challenges facing our world today. Imagine. All for the sole purpose of creating a better world for future generations.

The Big Society

Is there something rather sinister hidden beneath the fluffy Big Society label that the British public find unpalatable?

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
