Campaign against 'Honour' killings - at least in Pakistan they admit it happens

The clip is about an attemp to raise public consciousness of honour killings in Pakistan by using the medium of theatre. I wish them well.

In the west all that we get from out whinging liberal muppet masters is denial or arguments about definition.

Globalist financial reality check

You may feel that this blog has had more American content than you would expect recently and I would have to agree.

Listen to this chap though and you will see why. This clip is symptomatic of a trend. I have watched quite a few clips from media that I might normally expect to disagree on substantiative matters. Interestingly the one thing that economists, analysts, brokers, interviewers and political commentators all agree on is that the US debt burden is unrepayable.

Disagreement on how they got there and who is to blame is a sideshow. The accepted wisdom is that US debt cannot be repaid. The implications of this are global and massive. The only question is which financial mechanism collapses first and who pulls the rug out from under it. There are akternatives of course but they all rely upon politicians acting like grown ups and in the interests of the common good.

First they came for the EDL

There is no doubt in my mind that the steps taken to attempt to prevent the EDL from marching in Tower Hamlets (as if that was ever going to work) were merely a politically correct first step in the ConDem government's attempt to diminish civil liberties.

Is there anyone out there who believes that out government is intent on preserving our rights to freedom of association and protest? I very much doubt it.

where did UK private debt come from and how on earth did it grow so fast?

A sensible British based presentation explaining the basics of how our economic magical debt creation scheme came into being and a suggestion as to a remedy.

Credit Default Swaps are the elephant in the room

Again an American interview on a Russian media channel is where I have to turn to find an honest discussion. Credit Default Swaps are a financial mechanism much loved by traders everywhere. Basically they use them as insurance. American bankers found them a particular souece of comfort in the past but now if Greece, or pretty much anywhere else, defaults they have insured large parts of the losses. As American banks are resisting recapitalisation like a beauty queen resisting the advances of a leper it is a question not only of which bank fails first but how many will follow. Many US banks have closed already and there would certainly be no support for another bailout package for the banks. America has tried its slice of Socialism and does not like it one little bit.

Advanced Bananarepublicanism

Not a saying I can claim as my own as you will hear for yourself if you watch the interview in the clip. In honesty I know neither of them but the honesty with which the discussion is taking place is refreshing. What is not is that such a discussion would be unthinkable on our domestic media.

Trust a banker - that's a laugh.

It is reported that members of the executive board of the European Central Bank are saying that if steps are actively taken to make the banks in any way accountable for the financial crisis then the result will be many thousands of job losses. I cannot pretend with any conviction that I have any faith at all in any statement from bankers, especially if they are connected to the European Union. You may say that this is just my cynicism showing through and there may be grounds for saying that but in recent times they have hardly covered themselves in glory have they. When was the last time that 'honesty' and 'integrity' were the first two words that came to your mind when you thought about bankers?

To me this is all threat and posturing from the truly powerful directed at the people to provide an excuse for the less powerful, but useful idiot, politicians to make us do their bidding.

The indoctrination of school teachers continues.

This report by The Christian Institute shows the depths to which the Marxist Socialist indoctrination of school teachers has sunk. The number of primary school age children reported for hate speech, I kid you not, is measured by the tens of thousands.

Please follow the link and read for yourselves. I don't know who I blame more, the filth that ordained these rules or the cowardly teachers who reported the children that they are supposed to be educating and protecting.

We should be looking closer to home than the economic troubles of Mediterranean nations.

While experts postulate upon the state of the Greek economy and the consequences of the forthcoming Greek default I feel that it is worth reflecting upon the current state of our own economy and factors that may affect how others see us.

The so called austerity package brought about by the coalition government has not delivered significant savings or reduced the big state that we are all too familiar with. The number of government employees has increased despite the washed out bonfire of the quango's. Our balance of payments is pitiful in many areas including foodstuffs. The changes that have taken place are bringing misery and hardship to swathes of the population and the debt is still rising, just not as quickly as it was, but continuing to rise none the less.

Structurally speaking we have nothing in place to prevent bankers going mental any time they like and we have already undergone two bursts of quantitative easing. Easing that has devalued our currency. A worthwhile price to pay if the money had been invested in infrastructure projects and therefore made the nation more efficient whilst the economy immediately benefits from reduced unemployment and a subsequent boost to retail figures. Instead of this the whole lot has been given to bankers which they will erode with commissions to restore their balance sheets whilst the rest of us just pay more for goods and services because of the devalued economy.

You think that sounds bad? A nation that does not own its own ports is a poor nation. As we have sold our main ones off and closed the smaller ones it is no wonder we are being impoverished. We will not be having an export boom because many factories have been closed and replaced with homes. We have lost many trades that we used to lead the world in. We could sell gold but we don't have a lot and the enormous body of state assets worth selling have already been sold off.

Our education is woeful and it has been done on purpose by politicians who purposefully set out to change both the demographics and attitudes of our nation. Our nation is not cohesive and contains many who care not a jot about its woes.

We are obliged by treaty to pay the debts of others even if their debt is to us. We have increased the world leading amount of money that we give away and we encourage increasing amounts of immigration without concern as to what they can offer us in return for a drastically easier life.

When the international spotlight falls upon the UK I cannot help but feel that they may find us sadly lacking. As it is it would only take a couple of new financial services laws from the European Parliament and our financial services sector (the majority of our productive economy) would wither, leaving us in an unrecoverable position with an inevitable default.

There is more that I can put believe it or not but I believe that I have demonstrated the point that events abroad are being used to distract attention from the dire state of our own nation.

Have a nice day!

Al-Quaeda tried in Saudi Arabia but why?

I find it interesting that in Saudi Arabia quite large numbers of al-Queda terrorist suspects are being arrested and tried.

All has not been well in the kingdom with the ruling family being less and less popular as the years progress. The arab spring did not reach Saudi but the rulers are having a clearout of groups that previously they have held at arms length. In case any could forget Osama Bin Laden and his men were Saudi nationals and certainly I remember no condemnation when the twin towers came down in New York. Interestingly just a few years later men are being arrested for plotting against and harming Americans in the Middle East.

I am a cynical man but I suspect that Saudi Arabia wants America to look the other way should revolutionary shoots sprout forth domestically. Sacrificing a few chosen internal enemies would I am sure be perceived as a shrewd move.

Should Nick Clegg do it?

Were I a Liberal Democrat I am not sure that I would approve of the photograph of Nick Clegg demonstrating a choke hold in this article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/matthewd_ancona/8770703/A-strategy-of-guts-and-guile-may-yet-save-the-Lib-Dems.html though as I am not I think it is perfect.

I cannot help but wonder how many of the remaining Liberal Democrats are actually delighted with their party and agree with the statement that they are enacting LibDem policies?

Jerusalem - according to Spitting Image

The political satire show Spitting Image has been off our screens and out of my mind for a while now but I came across this and could not resist.

The characters would have to be changed of course but the message is the same: until you change the politicians they will take your money and send your children off to war.

If that message is too complex for some of you just think about it for a while and tell me how I am wrong.

Pure Socialism does not work.

Even when they manage to create what they really really want in the form of a socialist workers utopia it has to be abandoned.

British Constitution Group

 Here's a cool YouTube video 

I don't know anything about this group but the clip above seems reasonable enough.  I shall be taking a look at their website later.  If any reader has any opinions or experiences of them I would appreciate the info in the comments section.
