Labour’s shameful stance on Gurkhas leaves dark cloud over British political system

The Labour Party’s stance in refusing residency to thousands of Gurkhas marks yet another shameful chapter in the Labour Party’s rule, and a final nail in Gordon Brown’s political coffin.
Since being swept into office in 1997, the Labour Party have led the UK into an illegal war that has left over half a million innocent people dead. They’ve orchestrated one of the biggest crackdowns on civil liberties in modern society, developed the surveillance society to Orwellian proportions, brought the UK to it’s knees in the biggest recession in history, and turned a blind eye to human rights abuses committed by our ‘allies’.
But it is their treatment of the Gurkhas which is most shameful. These brave men have fought alongside British troops in many war zones, and yet are not deemed worthy of residency by the Labour Government, despite the massive public support for them.
If the taxpayer wasn’t forced to fork out vast sums for second homes for MPs or fund Jacqui Smith’s husband’s adult movie addiction, there would undoubtedly be more money available to support the Gurkhas.

G20 Summit – burn a banker (and Gordon Brown!)

The holding of the G20 Summit in London next week couldn’t come about at a more appropriate time. With the UK economy crippled, unemployment spiraling out of control, mass disillusionment with the political system, and outrage at the recent bailout of the banking system (and the insistence of many banks to continue to pay out ludicrous bonuses), the rallies planned for central London next week are shaping up to be the biggest shows of people power in years.

Some newspapers report that city finance firms have advised workers to dress down to avoid the protesters…..so expect to see lots of protesters now dressed up as City bankers in order to be hurried into buildings by unsuspecting police!
One thing is certain. When the dust settles late next week we’ll look back and reflect on the sorry old mess that the UK is now in. No longer Grand Brittania. More a sinking Titanic with a clueless Scot at the helm.

bank bonus culture is an attack on us all

In light of the recent bailout of UK banks costing British taxpayers over £350 billion, news that banks will continue to pay out huge bonuses to staff is beyond understanding and an insult to us all.

When the taxpayer came to the rescue of these banks, every employees previous contract should have been deemed void. The taxpayer is now the majority shareholder in these failed institutions, and it is deeply insulting and immoral for any bank to attempt to justify paying out bonuses.

What makes this worse is that these banks were playing with our money in the first place and making massive losses. You’d think the fat cats and their staff would be content to still be in a job, when the reality is a prison sentence for them all would have been a more appropriate consequence for their reckless actions in bringing this country to it’s knees.
I have no doubt it’s only a matter of time before people take to the streets in the UK to express their outrage against the banks and those responsible for this mess.
