Agenda 2019

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/aug/30/ministers-nick-clegg-paddy-ashdown Paddy Ashdown , the former Liberal Democrat leader, has made an impassioned plea for party members to avoid "short-term personal manoeuvring" and to stand by Nick Clegg after the first open revolt against his leadership.   Loyalty may be admirable but this is really pushing it to the boundaries. Urging party members to avoid "short-term personal manoeuvring" and to stand by Nick Clegg demonstrates a remarkable lack of judgement and brings into question Ashdown's grasp of political reality. Clegg is a liar, hypocrite and self seeking individual who has prostituted every principle the Liberal democrats may have once had. As a post from one person commenting on this article suggests, Stand behind Nick Clegg, " And push very hard".

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/aug/30/rain-chaos-summer-wettest-years  Forecasters have confirmed what many suspected: summer 2012 in England and Wales has been the biggest washout for a century.   Let us hope that this is the right type of rain to enable us to avoid the water companies imposing a hosepipe ban next year. However, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that we will be presented with the water companies spokesperson saying that "water prices will have to go up due to the additional demands on our resources during the heavy rain in 21012".

http://news.sky.com/story/978184/nick-clegg-wants-super-rich-to-pay-more-tax  Nick Clegg has called on Britain's wealthiest to make an "extra contribution" to the "national effort" of economic recovery. Another meaningless soundbite from super hypocrite and traitor Clegg, full as usual of  froth and no substance. Who are "Britain's wealthiest"? Does he mean the large corporations, making £billions of  profits? Does he mean the Utility companies making £billions from ripping off their customers with ever increasing prices? Does he mean the banks who's greed and corruption places them in the position of demonstrating that crime does pay and very handsomely too? Or does he mean Mr and Mrs average who have the audacity to have an annual income of more than £50K?  This waste of space Clegg should really do everyone a favour and give up his day job, retire to the country and grow roses.

http://news.sky.com/story/978020/heathrow-runway-delay-bad-for-business  Capacity constraints at Heathrow Airport are restricting the UK's economic potential, a report by MPs has said.    "Bad for business" !  Never mind the hundreds  of homes that would be demolished to make way for this monstrosity. Never mind the disruption to peoples lives with the increased pollution from noise, traffic and transport congestion. Never mind the devastating effect on the environment and wild life in the area. This and more is of little consequence to the business must come first lobby. For far too long, people have been dominated, abused and dismissed by the greed and self interest of the business community. The argument that developments such as the third runway at Heathrow is good for the economy, as it will bring jobs and increased trade opportunities has always been a load of garbage generated by the business community to conceal their real objective...

Never mind the "Olympic legacy". Weymouth is dying. Charity shops and "here today, gone tomorrow" shops, in many cases selling only tack and cheap rubbish do nothing for the town. There will soon be yet another "To let" sign in St Mary Street.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/aug/26/peter-hain-labour-lib-dems Peter Hain says Labour should get ready to do business with Lib Dems I have never had a great amount of time for Hain, as it seems to me that he has always tried to fill the all things to all men role, changing his position as often as he changes his socks. "Blair was a good guy, Brown was a good guy, Milliband (David) was a good guy, (oops, he lost to his brother so) Milliband (Ed) is a good guy" does not demonstrate a consistent view. Now, Hain proposes a classic rightist option of getting into bed with a bunch of hypocrites and their leader who has prostituted himself and his party for a grubby chance of power. Hain now suggests that Labour should do exactly the same thing as Cameron did after the last election, and make a sordid grab for a majority in the commons, just to gain occupation of number 10. He should remember the "Gang of 4", and probably should have followed th...

  http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/08/26/auschwitz-how-relevant-is-it-in-todays-society/ "Holocaust"How relevant is it in today’s society? The relevance of the "Holocaust" is diminished every time it is used as a justification or reason for another act of aggression by Israel against Palestinians or some other neighbour. The "Holocaust Card" has been played by successive Israeli governments since 1948 in order to generate a collective guilty conscience in the outside world with the purpose of giving credibility to the "right to self defence" argument, so favoured with numerous government spokespersons. As  former Israeli Minister Shulamit Aloni stated in an interview on Democracy Now, " We always pull out the holocaust/anti-semitic trump card ". (You Tube video). Using the Holocaust as a justification for aggression against others is an insult to those who died during the Nazi period, be they Jews, Gypsies...
