>Students & the oiks
So today Mr Nick Clegg has stated in a letter to the National Union of Students, that their demonstrations against the rise in student fee’s will be the reason for poorer people being put off going to University in the UK & that the demo’s distort debate. Really? I thought it was because 9k a year x3 for fees PLUS 4k a year x3 maintenence loan to live on & buy books equals 39k. Which means that some people will then spend their working lives paying that off. Not all Uni Grads end up in high flying Highly paid jobs. The man is truly a Judas. The poor LibDebs are realising that the guy has done a Blair on their party. Thrown away any honest decency for the power trip he’s been given by being in this coalition of multi millionaire bully boys who seem happy to turn Britain into a nation where its citizens will be either corporate slaves or a lost underclass of the so called ‘undeserving poor’. Who will be continually used as scaspegoats for our asset stripping, lying political Masters
The man is a disgrace!
Wikileaks
Not going to comment alot on this as there is loads of info & articles out on the www
Just to say;
Oh my the Diplomats are in a Tizzy, but lets face it, a lot of the data just confirms what many have suspected regarding many countries thoughts on others. However, all the dirty washing is now hung out in the public domain for all & sunder to see. This has to be a good thing. I confess I actually laughed aloud at the Guardian headline ‘WikiLeaks cables: ‘Rude’ Prince Andrew shocks US ambassador’
We brits are used to family memebers of that over priveliged family of spongers of tax payers money being arrogant, xenophobic & downright crass.
Winter of discontent part 1
So far we have had two rather large Student Demonstrations & a third is taking place today. I have no doubt that the discontent many feel in Britain will expand in the new year, especially when the VAT increase kicks in & more people loose their jobs & possibly homes, whilst those in a the top of the banking sector, which was bailed out at tax payers expense continue to award themselves huge bonuses. Can the citizens of of the UK & the rest of the world continue to support these global corporate bailouts? I think not. Neo libral Global Capitalism has turned us into nations whereby profit is privatised & debt is socialised. This cannot & must not be allowed to continue. It cannot be sustained. The cost to then many at the profit of the few will surely lead to more civil unrest & more use of policed/militarised tactics by Governments to keep their citizens ‘kettled’. Not too mention that this policing will no doubt be increasingly carried out by private companys with no public accountability, as budget cuts to regular police forces diminishes.
Ladies & Gentlemen, we live in an interesting time of political turmoil.
