SOME PRAISE FOR CAMERON

Much as I dislike Cameron I have to admit he did the right thing last night in not caveing in to the demands of the Euro countries dominated by Sarkozy and Merkel.

It means that he has protected an important part of our economy, the City of London which will help our future problems.

BUT Why has he stood his ground on this issue and this issue alone?

Why is banking so much more important than manufacturing industry to Cameron?

Simples. Because the bankers of the City of London finance the Tory Party and all Cameron's Eton friends "work" in the City.

I accept in the present situation the London Banking business is of great importance to our country, but so were other industries which were allowed to wither on the vine, indeed were in some cases sold off to foreign owners while Cameron's friends made their cut in the City.

I am pleased that we are somewhat separate from Europe because of Cameron's stance but it should not end there.

There are many rules eminating from the EU which are not covered by his decision and which surely need to be taken back to British sovereignty.

The people voted for a "Common Market" not rule by Europe.

It is said that we will have to re negotiate these rules which we did not vote for.

NO

It is quite simple. We should take our democratic rights back unilaterally. Europe needs us more than we need them. We have a balance of trade deficit with Europe and if they imposed sanctions we could boycott their goods.

We are the customers and they must consider us. We have the clout.

But the main reason is that the Euro is a failed concept and will collapse soon so we are better out of it.

We should have the referendum Cameron promised.

Why will he not give it to us?

If he believes in democracy we should have it, but he won't give it to us because he knows the people want out.

He thinks he knows better than the people.

He may do but I doubt it.

Maybe we will make mistakes but they will be our mistakes and we will succeed or fail by them.

BUT IT WILL BE OUR CHOICE.

THAT IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT, ISN'T IT?

AND LET THE EURO SINK WITH THE TITANIC, WHILE WE REMAIN IN THE LIFEBOATS.

"Four Muslim women who kicked the hell out of a woman whilst screaming “kill the white slag” have walked free from court — apparently because they were drunk, and because their religion does not allow alcohol they were not used to the effects."

This is British justice.

Violent assault, child porn, rape, whole hosts of other crimes, you'll get bail.

Offend a few people on a train and you'll end up remanded in custody - for your own protection of course.

Curious that those accused of assaulting and raping that poor baby recently didn't get remanded 'for their own protection'. One would imagine many people might feel moved to take matters into their own hands over that.

A TALE OF TWO DAUGHTERS

I have two daughters, one working in the private sector and one in the public sector as a teacher.

The eldest, the teacher is good at her job I'm told but has the usual long holidays, job security and a good pension.

She was on strike today over pension entitlements even though she voted against striking, the school was closed.

The younger daughter works in private industry and although she has a good job it is not as well paid as her older sister.

She has been made redundant three times and now works for a German firm and if she is absent from work too much would be sacked. In the snow last year she walked 5 miles to work while the teacher daughter stayed at home because the school was closed, but got no thanks for it. In spite of her hard work her job is not secure especially in a financial downturn.

In other words one daughter has little job security, poor holiday entitlement and the prospect of a lower pension than the one who is a teacher. She also has to pay in her taxes to subsidise the teacher daughter (25% of council taxes go to pay for public service pensions) even though she is paid less than the teacher.

She also had to make arrangements for her children owing to the strike.

I have to admit the daughter who is a teacher is very against the strike but as the school is closed is obliged to be off.

The strikers are hitting people with poorer work and pension conditions than they have themselves in itself unfair.

So why the public sector strikes?

Because the workers in that sector will have to pay more than formerly agreed for their index linked pensions and work longer before they receive them. It is a worse deal than they had before and I can understand that they do not like this, but those pensions are heavily subsidised by the state, in other words NOW they get much more than they paid in.

I am all for a decent standard of living for pensioners but these public pensions are unaffordable and this largess of public money can not go on.I know the workers contribute a great deal of money to them but they get back far more.

The fact is there is not enough money to pay for the public service pensions, so whatever the unions say eventually when the money really does run out and the government can borrow no more the promise to pay these index linked pensions will be renaged on.

The whole pension system private and public is a giant Ponzi scheme. Pensions paid out now are paid out of present contributions.

Many people think that when they contribute to these schemes there is a big "pot of gold" waiting for them when they retire. There is no such pot. The money is not there but this fact has been disguised until now.

The workers in the public service are in effect paying a tax to the Chancellor to subsidise present pensions and for anybody younger than fifty there is no hope of a return on their money. Their contributions do not go in to their pension pots.

Private pension schemes are as bad with the pension advisors making more money out of contributions than the owners of those schemes, sometimes as much as 30%.

It supports a big industry in the City of London and is just a big con.

I believe young people should save themselves for their pensions with the money they would have otherwise paid into these schemes.

I realise that older public sector people such as me have benefitted by these schemes in the past but the glory days of big pensions are over and there is no hope of them continuing.

However the government should talk to the unions and lead by example.

We are all in it together they say.

Well they should take a pension cut as should anybody receiving a high public sector pension, judges, headmasters, senior policemen and doctors etc as the present system can not carry on.

I realise that there are many other things the government should do to curb expenditure, bankers bonuses, foreign aid etc but these are other matters.

The fact is

THE PRESENT SCHEME IS UNAFFORDABLE and striking will not improve matters.

Far better to opt out and save yourself rather than subsidising the exchequer or private funds.

The country is broke and you will never get your money back.

Record immigration expands population by quarter of a million

A total of 252,000 more migrants arrived in the UK than left in 2010 – the highest figure ever for a full calendar year.

It was due to a huge fall in the number of people emigrating, especially Britons who left at their lowest rate for more than a decade.

The world economic crisis was blamed for fewer people looking abroad for work and fewer Britons looking for a retirement in the sun.

Foreign students also arrived in the UK in record numbers while Eastern European workers are moving back to the UK at three times the rate they did at the height of the recession.

The figures are a major headache for David Cameron who has pledged to bring net migration down to the “tens of thousands”.

The Home Office last night insisted it was till too early to see the impact of planned measure to cut numbers and that more up to date provisional estimates suggest the trend is reversing.

However, some of the main drivers behind the figures are beyond the Government’s control, such as emigration and the flow of EU citizens.

Matt Cavanagh, associate director at the think thank IPPR, said: “Today’s figures remind us that it was a mistake for the Conservatives to choose “net immigration” for their overall political target.

“The figures confirm that net immigration in 2010 was the highest on record. Not because immigration is rising – as the ONS make clear, it has been stable since 2004 – but because emigration is falling.

“The government cannot control emigration – just like it cannot control immigration from the EU – so it ends up trying to clamp down even harder on those areas of immigration it can control.”

A total of 591,000 migrants arrived in the UK during 2010 while 339,000 left, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Britons made up 136,000 of those leaving, the lowest level since 1998. The number of people emigrating who are of retirement age has also fallen dramatically from 21,000 in 2005 to 6,000 last year, including a fall in retiring Britons from 16,000 to 4,000 over the period

Related figures showed the number of people leaving for work purposes in the year up to March 2011 was 174,000, the lowest level in five years.

Previously popular emigration destinations such as France, Spain and Australia have all seen falls.

The trend reinforces claims that fewer Britons are retiring to southern Europe because the exchange rate with the euro is so low while fewer people are looking for work overseas because of the dire global economic conditions.

In a further blow for ministers, a record 238,000 long term students arrived last year.

And the net inflow of Eastern Europeans workers from Poland and other countries who joined the EU in 2004 has trebled from 16,000 in 2008 to 49,000 last year.

Sir Andrew Green, the chairman of pressure group Migration Watch UK, said: "At over a quarter of a million in 2010, net migration was the highest it has ever been. It was more than five times the level of 1997, when Labour came to power.

"It is absolutely vital to get this down to less than 40,000 if we are to keep our population below 70 million."

UK Independence Party home affairs spokesman Gerard Batten MEP said: "The Government has to own up. It hasn't a clue how to deal with the problem, and it has to be honest that whilst our migration and asylum rules are set in Brussels it will never have the power to control it."

The net migration figure was the highest for a calendar year although the level for the 12 months to September 2010 was higher at 255,000.

The Home Office last night leapt on separate, provisional figures that showed net migration in the 12 months to March this year showed a fall to 245,000.

Damian Green, the immigration minister, said: “The latest net migration figures are also encouraging, showing a fall since the recent peak in September 2010, but we are clear there is much more to be done."

Downing Street said Prime Minister David Cameron remained committed to reducing immigration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands.

Asked whether he thought it could be done, Mr Cameron's official spokesman said: "Yes, he does, but clearly that process is going to take some time."

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

So much for the promises to bring immigration down to the TEN'S OF THOUSANDS but we have over a Quarter of a Million a year entering this country, it'll be more as they don't know how many are here Illegaly.

THE LIB/LAB/CONNED are one and the same say one thing and do another.

Have any of them followed their Manifestos, and if not haven't they lied to the Electorate?
