British Jobs For British Workers?

The recent unofficial strikes promoting a 'British Jobs For British Workers' theme has provoked alot of debate. I'd like to know, in this age of multi-national corporations spanning the globe, how any job for these companies could be regarded as 'British'? It's very dissapointing to see the Unions supporting some kind of aristocracy of labour, with 'British' workers at the head of the queue. Wage slaves fighting over who gets to work for master, it's rather sickening if you ask me.

Personally I'd rather be poor and free than a pampered slave.

In my opinion the protest banners should read 'Decent Jobs For ALL Workers'.

Whinging Savers!

I'm getting rather sick of savers bleating on about how the current low interest rates are ruining them financially and how it's not worth them saving their cash. How quickly they forget that if it wasn't for the taxpayer bailing out the banking system these people wouldn't have any savings at all!

Kids Giving Birth To Kids

In regards the depressing tale of thirteen year old Alfie Patten supposedly fathering a child with 15-year-old Chantelle Steadman, we now have a situation where it appears several teenagers have absolutely no fear at all of publicly anouncing that they have unlawfully shagged a 15 year old girl.

We have a law that nobody appears to have any interest in enforcing. We have schools giving out condoms to children so if they do break the law they will be supposedly 'safe'. Then if they do get pregnant they can have an abortion without the knowledge of their parents. WTF is all that about?

We could take this logic to another level. Assuming that some kids will at one point experiment with drugs, why not have schools give them a 'clean' stash so it's 'safe'? Of course if they accidently overdose we don't need to tell the parents.

Another thing about all this -

[quote]The implication of the rule is that anyone who has sex with a girl under 13 is committing what is termed "statutory rape". There is no defence to this charge - even if a boy says the girl was willing or that he thought she was older than she was, it would not matter.

This law apparently only applies to boys having sex with girls under 13 but not vise versa, isn't that blatent discrimination against teenage boys?

It appears to me that many teenagers want all the perks of adulthood (sex, booze etc) without any of the responsibilities.

Four Years On The Debt Bubble Is Ready To Pop

It's been over four years since my last post on this blog, in which I pointed out the fundamental flaw in our debt based economic system.

The term 'Credit Crunch' is the catch phrase used by financial experts to describe the current economic woes. Talk about Orwellian Doublespeak. 'Credit Crunch' is merely a more palatable way of saying DEBT CRISIS. The people in power can't say this though because their answer to this financial meltdown is to take on more Government debt!

It is only a matter of time before the whole economic system implodes. It almost happened last year when the banking system was on the verge of collapse but the banksters were rescued by huge Government bailouts at the taxpayers expense. This may have postponed the day of reckoning for the time being but don't be fooled, the system is failing. As someone else said - "the only debate left is whether we sink into a poverty of empty pockets or ones bulging with pieces of worthless paper."
