THE MADNESS OF THE SALES.

Stories abound in the media today of crowds rushing out in to what has become a post Christmas tradition, the sales.
To my mind all this is an indication of collective madness or hysteria induced by subtle commercial programming. That it is so important to the shops to encourage this madness shows how much of a margin they usually make on their wares.

Now I am as keen on a bargain as anyone else but I was told by my mother many years ago that a "bargain" that you did not need was not a bargain, but expensive.

Many of the things bought in the sales consist of cheap Chinese crap which are completely un necessary to anybody's standard of living. There are I realise some shoppers from the Far East who crowd the London shops for luxury goods (which is code for extravagent) but these are mainly made abroad and apart from the shop's profits bring little in to our country.
It will be of little benefit to our manufacturing industry.

This seasonal madness does not benefit our country. It helps the shops but increases imports and does not in my opinion increase the total happiness of the people even when not bought on credit.
Unnecessary goods bought on credit bring the misery of a debt slave to those participating and only help shops, bankers and foreign manufacturers.

Next year will be hard for everybody as a result of excessive personal and government spending and we will need all we can save. Far better to reduce debts and save our money as the future looks bleak.

So I shall not be visiting the sales and thus not be tempted to waste my money. That will remain in my pocket, ready for a rainy day.

On that bleak note I hope all have had a happy Christmas and that we all will not be too hard hit next year by the looming economic turmoil.

Remember relationships with family and friends are more important than cheap (or dear) baubles and do not cost.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

A FEW THOUGHTS ON ALCOHOL

That there is a serious health problem with excessive alcohol drinking is well known and accepted and the authorities are seeking a solution.
I read and there does seem some truth in it that in the colder Northern parts of Europe alcoholism is more of a problem than in the warmer South. Whether this is genetic, environmental or social is arguable, or a combination of all three, but I do believe there is at least a genetic component as evidenced by my own family history. Several solutions have been put forward usually involving increasing the price of alcohol. Doctors in particular favour this tactic saying that an increase in the price and thus affordability would decrease consumption but then doctors can themselves afford to pay more.
Now if price were the main driver of consumption, alcohol problems would be greater in more wealthy people but the contrary is the case. Poorer people have more alcoholic problems than richer people.
So what to do?
I do not think an across the board price increase will make a discernable difference and will penalise poorer people who just want a cheap social drink and do not drink to excess. It is unjust and easy for affluent doctors to advocate as they would be unaffected by any rise.
Government advice on safe limits is a waste of time and encourages ridicule.
The question must be asked "why has the problem increased so much in recent years"? before a logical answer can be given.
I believe it is the increase of strong lagers, ciders and alcopops sold in supermarkets which encourage young people to drink to excess and not for the flavour of the drink. They drink to get drunk and not for the social pleasure or the taste of the drink. Much alcohol is consumed in city centre clubs where apart from "Happy hours" the drinks are extortionately dear. In addition drugs are often bought and taken at the same time, hardly a cheap option.
Alcoholics like other addicts will drink whatever the price and it is unjust that moderate social drinkers should be penalised with higher prices because of other's stupidity.
If drink becomes to dear people will again brew their own as Gorbachev found out in Russia.
Admittedly if there were no alcohol there would be fewer cases of liver damage but life devoid of this social lubricant would be much poorer. It is the abuse that is the trouble and the present seeming social acceptibility which is at fault.
Traditional pubs selling weaker better flavoured beer and other drinks should be encouraged through tax breaks and supermarkets selling high strength tasteless drinks taxed more heavily.
Advertising should also be curtailed.
This would achieve the preservation of our pubs, make our city centres safer and improve the health of the young people who have become to believe it is "cool" to be drunk.
Let the moderate social drinkers have their pleasure but penalise those whose excess causes trouble.
Must go and have my afternoon tipple now. A price rise will not deter me.
CHEERS.

HOW OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING MIS-EDUCATED

Listen to these 3 recorded interviews.
This is absolutely disgraceful.
Well done to the Parent for recording this and put it online.







Disgraceful, no wonder we have high rates of Indigenous youth unemployment but even HIGHER RATES OF IMMIGRANT IN EMPLOYMENT.
WE dumb our kids down in Britains schools whilst those who are educated in Foreign schools are better educate and therefore more sought after in the job market, who wants to employ ILLITERATE and INNUMERATE kids?

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT - 3D STREET ART

EMMA WEST - POLITICAL PRISONER - GRANTED BAIL

Emma West, the suspected tram racist, has been granted bail.

The decision was reached at a Croydon Crown Court hearing behind closed doors this morning.

Miss West is charged with a racially-aggravated public order offence after a video showing a woman abusing passengers on a Croydon tram was posted online on November 27.

The 34-year-old, from New Addington, had initially been denied bail at Croydon Magistrates' Court on December 6 and faced the prospect of spending Christmas behind bars.

She is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court on January 3 for a committal hearing.

----------------------------------

Could this be due to the pressure placed on the authorities form the Nationalist community ?

I's like to think so, and I have to give credit where it's due, Britain First were at the forefront of the fight against this POLITICAL ARREST and to Free Emma West.

This is not the end of the matter though and we must stay with the fight and not walk away thinking we have accomplished what we set out to do as she could still be imprisoned at her next court appearance.

Well done to all involved, maybe we have more clout than we think.

FOREIGNERS ATTACK CAROL SINGERS FOR CANCER CHARITY DUE TO CONGO ELECTION OUTCOME

Carol singers raising money for a cancer charity in Trafalgar Square were attacked by protesters during a night of disorder that saw 139 arrests.

Shops were attacked, passers-by threatened and car windows smashed during a demonstration in central London against the election result in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The carol concert was raising money for MacMillan Cancer Support. It was organised by a group of friends whose loved ones had been treated for cancer.

Masked teenage boys ‘stormed’ the singers, throwing bottles of water and hot drinks into the crowd. A woman in her 40s, said to be undergoing treatment for breast cancer, was pulled to the ground. A youth attempted to set light to the Christmas tree, an annual gift from the city of Oslo since 1947, one witness said.

“They were determined not to let us sing and have fun and utterly ruined the atmosphere. Have your protest and make your point, but why did you have to ruin a lovely occasion with your scuminess,” Mark Horton, a conductor of the choir, wrote in a message online. The concert was cut short amid safety concerns.

The attack was ‘egged on’ by teenage girls who screamed and shouted “like that of the possessed”, another witness said.

Police made 110 arrests for affray as fights broke out between demonstrators.

Other arrests were made for assaulting police officers, obstructing police and blocking a public highway. Police held demonstrators inside double decker buses before ferrying them to custody.

The demonstration began as an agreed ‘static’ protest in Whitehall on Saturday evening against the re-election of President Joseph Kabila, which international observers say “lacks credibility”.

The vast central African country has immense mineral wealth but has been ravaged by civil war, corruption and economic mismanagement. Protestors accuse Western governments of propping up the regime.

On Thursday a group of 200 Congo demonstrators forced the evacuation of Oxford Circus tube station, central London, after they set off a passenger alarm on an underground train.
