Hardly two of the greatest rugby playing nations of the world. We did not however come any where near to beating Australia and were fortunate in only losing to Wales by 3 points. Where does this leave English Rugby? Either, we do not have the necessary quality of players to compete at the highest levels of the game or we do not have the managerial skills to weld our players into a formidable, ruthless machine to drive over the top of any opposition to win ball and score tries. Now I was one of those people wh...

Consequently, it seems to me that we own the bank. Gideon is now selling off our shares (and he didn't even ask our permission) in RSB at knock down prices to friends in the city and at a loss to us, the taxpayers. There is a small bribe for the taxpayer however, that the government will allow us to buy a tiny percentage of the available shares, and with a minute discount o n the price! As with other privatisations, Gas, Water, Electricity, Railways etc, the government Alchemists manage to persuade sections of the public to purchase that whi...

The same Luke Akehurst who on the 11th July this year stated “We would therefore encourage supporters of Andy, Yvette and Liz to transfer votes to each other at CLP nomination meetings so that as few CLPs as possible make supporting nominations for Jeremy.” The same Labour Firs t Group who boast amongst its supporters people like Chuka Umanna, Tristam Hunt , Liz Kendal and others who snubbed Jeremy Corbyn at the Party Conference by packing their bags and c...

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/oct/07/pm-cameron-vows-scrap-rules-forcing-developers-build-affordable-homes-for-rent Cameron vows to scrap requirement to build affordable homes for rent   Cameron will encourage developers to increase the building of homes for first-time buyers. Cameron either by accident or more probably design, conveniently ignores hundreds of thousands of people in this country who will never be able to afford to buy either low cost first time buyer homes or "affordable" homes. This country has a housing crisis created by successive governments, where people are unable to buy or cannot afford to rent. Tinkering at the margin with the vague prospect of owning a home at sometime in the future, is a not very well disguised bribe to attract votes, which has been the way of things for decades and has failed miserably. What this country desperately needs is a housing programme to build at least 800,000 new homes of which a minimum of 75% ...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/oct/09/taxpayers-alliance-director-tax#_=_ Taxpayers' Alliance admits director doesn't pay British tax Hard on the heels of yesterdays story concerning Alex Wild (who is research director of  Taxpayers Alliance) and his outrageous suggestion to cut pensioners benefits now as many of them will be dead before the next general election and of those remaining, many will not remember who cut their benefiys anyway, comes the revelation that Alexander Heath, a director of the increasingly influential rightwing lobby group lives in France and has paid no tax in the United Kingdom for many years. The Taxpayers Alliance which has very close ties with the Conservative party claims to be "the guardian of taxpayers' money, the voice of taxpayers in the media and their representative at Westminster".At the Conservative party conference, the influence of theTaxpayers Alliance was underlined when David Cameron and George Os...

" That phrase sums it up in a nutshell and even right up to now, the US and its allies still have no idea what they are trying to do, or how to do it. The House of Commons may soon be asked (again) by the government to authorise British military involvement in this conflict. Any United Kingdom politician  voting in favour of authorising such intervention, no matter how limited, will be guilty of committing our service personnel to a civil war where there are numerous hostile combatants all fighting against each other and where ther...

Taxpayers Alliance    In making a comment which could have been taken straight from  the pages of  "Der Stürmer", Alex Wild reveals the "Taxpayer Alliance" as being little more than another extreme right pressure group, which with support and encouragement from the Conservative party, is fast becoming a dangerous and influential malignancy in British politics. The Conservative party uses this and other noxious groupings, to float out their pernicious ideas for party policy to gauge public reaction and to prepare the British people for even greater excesses during the course of a parliament.   Tax...
