One of our posts on cuts to libraries, suggesting just a 10% cut to the national budget was met with horror by our readers, the Guardian who trailed it, and anyone else who linked.

I'll never find another acceptable middle class tax benefit or service to give up.<br /><br />{the one I did find was was that stupid child trust fund that Brown set up to make every parent a labour supporter by bribery.

Apart from Polly Toynbee no one else missed it.}</i><br /><br />The appetite for sensible government was long gone as early as November 2012Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-49754535602991662582015-02-01T11:49:45.572+00:002015-02-01T11:49:45.572+00:00Andrew a great analogy and completely agree in the...Andrew a great analogy and completely agree in the long term (two deckchair sellers on a beach will always drift to the middle). Government works very slowly, always increasing its influences and power, pushing the population and the publics perception/values to the desired target BUT not too fast to upset the natives. Labour introduced thousands of petty little laws stripping us of our rights and handing over “responsibility” from the individual to some state department. None of these individually would have been enough to raise alarm (and any voices raised against would be accused of racism, sexism, think of the children, have you something to hide?). All of which would have had our grandparents asking “are you taking the p!ss”. Labours greatest successes towards a socialist utopia were to alter the tax and benefits system so the majority are now dependent on some government hand out (not even questioning, that it was their money that was confiscated in the first place). The second was to change narrative and the mind-set that only the government can fix issues. Little Johnny drops his smarties on the bus, what’s government going to do, so this tragedy doesn’t happen again. <br />However if the people always voted for the highest spending party, you would never have a right of centre party in power. I think we, like the government, underestimate the intelligence of the general public (the Geordie shore types are over represented on the TV). During the Boom we had all danced while the fiddler played. When the bust came (like teenagers who had had a party while their parents were away), we all knew the party had come to an end it was time to clean up the house. The vote swing went to the right and we all understood that we should have some extra chores, with no pocket money until the damages were paid for. The public started to take more responsible steps, paying down debt, cutting down on the luxuries we couldn’t afford, putting a littla aside for the hard times that were coming and voting for a government we expected would do the same. What did we get? Blair 2.0 more spending, less freedoms, they u-turned on every policy and still left the narrative with the opposition and the MSM who scream of cuts. We wanted to be disciplined and the house returned to the same level of comfort but instead the parents said “no its ok, live in the squalor and we will get you some beers for next weekend.”<br />Steam Trains were continuously improving to a common solution, until somebody tinkering in the garage came up with the internal combustion engine. Nature tells us that diversity is the driver of evolution like SME’s are to industrial advancement. <br />El Kevo<br />So where do I get the bus to 1992 <br />Suffragentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-37206464901869446012015-02-01T00:41:10.841+00:002015-02-01T00:41:10.841+00:00BQ - A skirmish.

A whole file on paedophilia has been lost on their behalf, after all. <br /><br />Our 'democracy' is well bent. Bashir was kicked out of Ukip.

Exactly the amateurishness they accuse Ukip of. <br /><br />Their economics is fucked up too: <br /><br />http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/top-banker-crispin-odey-warns-5074995<br /><br />And Peter Hitchens claims our debt mountain is about to explode in our faces too.

Some were quite good.<br />Same with politicians.<br /><br />In the '10s all cars basically work and behave in the same way. You buy one because of something at the margin - the badge, touchscreen or i-drive etc.<br />Same with politicians.<br /><br />Cars are highly optimised to drive on roads and politicians are highly optimised to run on us.<br />happen.<br /><br />The trouble is that whilst roads have not changed much in 70 years, we have and and the changes are accelerating.<br /><br />Optimisation can lead you into blind alleys eventually. <br />If there is very little cost in terms of votes in borrowing money and a lot of benefit in spending money, and a great cost in votes in stopping spending money, it is pretty clear what will tend to happen.<br /><br />So we collectively are at the point where we know something is wrong.<br />Our historic preferences have bred the politicians and politics we have.<br />But are not able to articulate what we do want in a coherent manner and are not willing to pay for it.<br /><br />So the fact that they are all the same (within a rounding error) is a good thing (until we know what we do want)! <br /><br /><br />andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07311993288675111834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-54888157701494864352015-01-31T16:50:41.253+00:002015-01-31T16:50:41.253+00:00ND and SW Excellent points.

This and “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” is why I’m against centralisation. Whether it be in Brussels or London. SMEs have been the driving force of innovation and wealth creation in the west since the dawn of the industrial revolution. The big industrials, through their buddies in government and EU, have introduced a raft of legislation to stop these little upstarts from taking market share and the government gets to employ more peak cap box tickers. The problem is that these little upstarts took their ideas to foreign places that were more inviting and are able to produce the product for less, without the additional burden of legislation. (The cost of labour is only a small part of the production cost in a mechanised system).<br /><br />'no plan survives first contact with the enemy' Which is why we need a strong negotiator as PM not someone who’s only skill is to memorise a speech.<br />Bill<br />This is the issue. Politics is reactionary with no laid out plan to success and worse than that, its not reactionary to the voice of the people but to its own internal feedback loops. The twatterati, the spivs, its own msm. The general population don’t give a stuff about the childish point scoring in the “Westminster’s got talent competition”. They want someone to make the country a better place to live.<br />Its also the same as big business. The share price dropped a pip, sell off something, start with the R&D department.<br />CU “I don't really fear an ED PM.” No but I would fear the people that put him there. He didn’t rise to the top through his strength, intellect or natural charisma. <br />Suffragentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-75956523475034542452015-01-31T14:52:18.318+00:002015-01-31T14:52:18.318+00:00Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

Unless it’s the greens then your truly f%¤&/<br /> So purely for the entertainment value, which is the least dirty shirt in the basket?<br />The role of PM is not to be a likable person. We are not looking for a best friend. We are looking for an intelligent person who can listen to what we want, calculate what’s best for the people and a complete bastard of a negotiator who can then get it for us. So who have we got?<br />Camorron was in the same position before the last election and still fluffed it against Brown (BROWN ffs). At that time and place, you have to be truly useless to not get a majority (even with the boundaries, which the Fud hasn’t changed while in power). Every policy he makes comes with a revolving door built in. Why was he chosen? Because he could memorize a whole speech without looking at his notes. Well woopiedoo. The guy can’t even lie properly. You didn’t have to be an FBI interrogator to understand he was lying about that whole horse fiasco. If ever there was a chinless, smarmy face that represented the bullingdon club (much loved by the general populace) that’s it. Why doesn’t he have spots? Because they slide off <br />Millipede: Union stooge, the stumbling and mumbling school retard, dressed in his dad’s suit. I’m all for giving everyone in society a roll they are capable of doing but prime minister? The first time Frau Merkel raises her voice in a negotiation, he’ll probable wet himself.<br />That other bloke: the back stabber, will do anything to sit at the top table, runs a party of sandal wearing teachers kids. Thinks he runs the third party but probably now in the second division (but still thinks that if the tax payer should fund the parties, that he should still get the third prize). Had he seen his change to the voting system, he would probably be in the Vauxhall Conference after the next election. <br />Farage: Accused of being a one trick pony, racist, sexist….I like the guy. Anybody that can raise so much negativity from the MSM has to be doing something right. The problem he has is that the game is stacked (if proportional representation had gone through, he would probably be the next prime minister) so he will probably get a large voter share but very few seats to show for it. Although everybody voting for him is a racist (sarc off), I think most do as he is the only one facing the issues that people are concerned about and people are sick of the existing system that talks to them like children. If he fills his party with deserters from the others, to get his seat count up, he risks losing the protest vote. We want rid of these parasites, not for them to just change badge and carry on.<br />The Greens: Giving them power maybe the only way to put an end to this green nonsense once and for all. I’d give them a year before the public realised the horror of their policies but it would take generations if ever, to undo the destruction they had caused. <br />Isolated in the Westminster bubble, they ALL believe the wealth generated by the population is theirs to distribute as they see fit (after taking a sizable cut). The people are just too stupid to understand what’s best for them.<br />Suffragentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-78519596171241923092015-01-31T13:09:12.544+00:002015-01-31T13:09:12.544+00:00British governance has reached a point where much ...British governance has reached a point where much of it just doesn't need government, Whitehall merrily continues apace with it's own internal drama with just the badge of the idiot they need to deal with changing, Brussels' does what Brussels' does and pretty much every institution has been knocking around before most of the current bunch were still in their fathers testicles.<br /><br />So we're left with a circus of clowns whose only remit is to interfere with them between doling them out money from budgets and screwing up the economy.<br /><br />And the parties themselves reflect that.<br /><br />The Tories are either hugging hoodies, or in the case of Theresa May, trying on jackboots for size.<br /><br />Labour are just tribally loathesome.<br /><br />Lib Dems are the same unhappy marriage of sandalistas and orange bookers, only now singed by actually having to something other than dream up bullshit policies.<br /><br />UKIP are... Well. Entertaining clowns, at least they've brought custard pies, and in Farage have the kind of ringmaster who can get away with things.<br /><br />The Greens are triers, for every decent policy I see, there are about 4 that look like they swapped a think tank for a loony bin.<br /><br />And I think that is what behind the rise of UKIP and Greens, yes people are pissed off at how immigration has been handled and the environment, but people also like to go for the devil they know, so I think a lot of the loss of popularity of the main parties is that the public have decided if they're going to have clowns, have the nutty ones rather than than the boring ones.<br /><br />The old parties are like Saturday night telly in the 70's and 80's - tedious shit like Little and Large - whilst the Greens and UKIP are like suddenly discovering there's an Eddie Izzard and Bernard Manning channel available now.<br /><br />I'm just hoping there's an independent standing, otherwise I'll just have to spoil the ballot paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-65034633658439876042015-01-31T12:55:39.664+00:002015-01-31T12:55:39.664+00:00ND - an excellent point, but a rather different on...ND - an excellent point, but a rather different one.

Brillo took another shadcab NHS er to bits also.Day 1 and it was going a bit Somme.<br /><br />So how come, when Labour have known there was an election coming for the last 5years, how come, they have not got better answers to difficult questions and better solutions and a more appealing narrative ?<br /><br />I can believe a marketing man saying "NHS is your strongpoint..that's your target market..1 in 16 people in the UK work in healthcare..so half of all families know an NHSer.Everyone uses it! Win them all over and that 100+ majority is yours!"<br /><br />Great! what do we say?<br /><br />"Say ..we love the NHS and the other people don't love it ."<br /><br />Great ..then what?<br /><br />"That's all..no need for anything else..Just say you go to bed at night and cry about how bad the coalition is treating your favourite public service."<br /><br />"and..that will do it?"<br /><br />"oh yes...£200k please!"<br /><br />And the labour team said "ok..sounds good..here.."Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-9786480259430242832015-01-31T12:05:57.552+00:002015-01-31T12:05:57.552+00:00Best I don't get started on this shower of ......Best I don't get started on this shower of ...James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-41880024389622033902015-01-31T10:29:06.851+00:002015-01-31T10:29:06.851+00:00Come on BQ, all of life is characterised by cock-u...Come on BQ, all of life is characterised by cock-up<br /><br />ASDA? how about, errrr, Tesco ...<br /><br />sometimes you meet a small company (etc), run by the original start-up guys, who are operating at 100% efficiency and moving mountains<br /><br />then they need to hire more staff, then the organisation gets bigger than their span of control, then a couple of idiots get taken on by mistake, then some lazy bastards - and before you know it, the company's performance level has subsided to 'normal' levels of hit-and-miss<br /><br />'no plan survives first contact with the enemy' - or indeed first day in the hands of the staff<br /><br />I am constantly dismayed by, but have learned to live with, the degradation of excellent plans by the 'friction' of stupidity & general ineffectiveness that drags stuff downNick Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670594203660051701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-54620265244246634862015-01-31T10:03:18.646+00:002015-01-31T10:03:18.646+00:00All political parties are chaotic.

That's why the Bashir story is a fiasco.Not enough time. They needed the positive spin of a Kipper defection {for a change!} before UKIP could disown their man.<br />That's 24 hour news politics.<br />The Cameroons failed on both with Bashir. But it was only a akirmish.<br /><br />My complaint with useless Ed is that he is unable to do the set piece offensives either.<br />He launched what he thought was a war winning campaign and its gone very wrong , very quickly. Once you look at it, NHS NHS NHS you can see its far to unambitious and poorly thought out to seize much ground.<br /><br />All political parties do this. They have an idea, then rush off with it. <br /><br />Politicians can employ anyone they want. They can spend what they want. The best AdMen in town.<br />So its always a mystery why they have so few successes.<br /><br />If ASDA ran a Christmas campaign like political parties run election campaigns they would be out of business.<br /><br />Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-88864639219768053902015-01-31T09:55:36.660+00:002015-01-31T09:55:36.660+00:00The pantomime in Westminster doesn't matter.

The real government is in Brussels; whoever wins in May will just do what they are told by our masters there anyway, and interest rates are determined by Mr Carney.<br /><br />It's tough to tell what the twats in SW1 are for, other than window dressing.

One presumes that they must be extremist and distasteful. <br /><br />Well...<br /><br />Of Mr Bashir. Shapps says when questioned about the former's membership of Respect "So long as the candidate has not been in an extremist party then we'll consider them."<br /><br />So Mr Schapps admitted this week that Ukip are not extremist. Yet he and his wretched party are willing to go into coalition and do deals with the far less popular LibDems than give their own natural supporters a bit of what they want. <br /><br />Then there is the incompetence of not researching Mr Bashir properly before his acceptance and the Cameron photo shoot. <br /><br />And they have the cheek to call Ukip amateurish and chaotic ?Electro-Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073103431166273080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-1189811015955922822015-01-30T20:49:08.142+00:002015-01-30T20:49:08.142+00:00BQ - And that is exactly why Cameron could well lo...BQ - And that is exactly why Cameron could well lose the next election.<br /><br />He tries to schmooze Labour voters whilst treating his own core with contempt. <br /><br />No. Miliband deserves to win. <br /><br />I wish Labour had won in 2010 and I can't see me ever voting Tory again. <br /><br /> Electro-Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073103431166273080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-56116125539877677182015-01-30T17:37:43.487+00:002015-01-30T17:37:43.487+00:00Jer -

That the few votes he would swing wouldn't overturn any large majorities and he should stick to marginal seats.<br /><br />They were probably right. His visits yielded little. But they do show the mindset of a man who thought he could persuade traditional labour/lib voters to try a tory.<br /><br />Miliband isn't even trying that. He spends his time trying to plug the holes in his 35% strategy by visiting schools 'n 'ospitals and preaching to the converted.<br /><br />If he announces a new policy its to retain some support or to try and head off a perceived threat from the Greens or UKIP or the SNP.<br /><br />He isn't trying to win any converts.Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-31745571285883078732015-01-30T17:05:15.621+00:002015-01-30T17:05:15.621+00:00"Labour's advantages in this election are..."Labour's advantages in this election are so great it would take a real lemon to fail. <br />Ed Miliband will probably still become Prime Minister in May.<br /><br /> Probably. <br /><br /> But he doesn't deserve to be.
