Labour’s profligate spending
For years the BNP have attacked this government for its profligate spending. We’ve known and told of the billions wasted on failed NHS Information Technology projects, the billions wasted on the white elephant known as the Olympic Games, the millions wasted on the Millennium Dome, the millions it costs us taxpayers to keep people in pointless jobs - smoking ban enforcement officers, household refuse inspectors, race equality officers (everywhere, regardless of whether ethnics even live in the area), the never-ending ‘jobs for the boys’ in the form of useless quangos etc., etc., but we’ve never had a working figure of the actual total cost.
To the rescue comes the author, David Craig, whose new book is entitled ‘Squandered’. The amount of money needlessly wasted by this government over the last ten years or so is an eye-watering £1,229,100,000,000 (£1.229 trillion) - or £20,500 for every man, woman and child over the last ten years. Now, as even Labour hasn’t got around to taxing kids yet, then the figure works out at £30,750 for every man and woman. And as it’s only the working men and women who actually pay it, the personal figure is going to be far higher than that for us working folk. And this is money that could have gone into our bank accounts to offset soaring mortgage, food and petrol costs! This is what New Labour calls ‘prudent’ economics - and, to my knowledge, does not even include the £1.4 million per hour (yes, per hour; and even more now that we‘ve given up part of our rebate) that this nation is taxed to fund the equally inefficient EU.
And you thought the £50 billion of our money used to bail out Northern Rock was bad - a mere bagatelle, my friends; a mere bagatelle!

Yes, but they always find cash to send abroad for ‘aid’! What about ‘charity begins at home’? We cannot right all the world’s ills, so why not work on our own problems?
Damn the bigots to hell for the wasted opportunities they have squandered.
We are talking not telephone numbers but light years.

This story may be of great interest to all our Lib/Lab/Con axis of evil voters. It would seem to me that any amount of murders has little or no effect regarding their voting habits maybe a jolt in the trouser department will have the desired effect. I’m not holding my breath mind you, the “I always vote Labour” brigade are not given to hasty decisions, they may not be ready for the BNP yet!! As an aside, during the recent local elections a radio interviewer interviewing a lady was heard to remark ‘we are a Labour Party family, well they`re for the working man arn`t they’. Well, yes they are you simple-minded deluded half wit.
I bought the book and I’m currently reading it. It is an absolute shocker and yet it is all backed up by references and sources. Get it now from Telegraph Books or similar: ISBN 978-1-84529-832-6 for £8.99. It’s our money and our children’s and nation’s future which Brown, Blair and Olympic Livingstone have blown.
The description of how Brown sold off our gold reserves shows the utter incompetence of the man. He is unfit to be in any job.

In my opinion the more we know the better armed we will be.
Keep up the good work of keeping the British people informed of what is happening in this country.
ipsa scientia potestas est (”knowledge itself is power”
I wonder how much of that has gone into the pockets of their Common Purpose friends.
People keep voting them in. How much more if you add in their inflated wages and family payments Wife-son etc: plus expenses. We are all struggling, yet they still steal from us, they have given back the 10% so why did they steal it in the first place! bnp 4 me

When I take a good look around I just can’t see what we actually get for paying our rediculously high taxes. Streets are clean? - thats about it.
Blimey - where do you live, Pat? - Ed
It has been reported today that the official inflation figure has risen to 3%. That means the real figure is probably at least double that.
Brown the Clown has blown all the money so he cannot do anything to help i.e. in tax cuts so that means wage demands for next year will rise accordingly and the spiral will go on. Strikes will take place when the Clown puts a squeeze on public wage demands and unemployment will inevitably rise.
The chickens have finally come home to roost. The Clown’s economic empire was built on personal debt and bribary to the less well off in hand outs that were so difficult to understand he had to hire thousands more civil servants to cope, costing even more money for the taxpayer.
High tax high public service costs have always been a recipe for disaster. Mr Prudent has been found out.He has been a disaster.
The best economies are low tax, low public services. The public have more money to spend and so the government’s coffers fill up more efficiently because people spend, companies employ more staff and the economy therefore expands.
Common Purpose,The EU and the Lib/Lab/Con want control of every aspect of our existence. It can never work and the whole EU experiment will eventually collapse just like the Soviet Union.
Readers might be interested in this guardian ‘Comment is free’ piece on Brown
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/may/11/polls.gordonbrown
with a few hundred emails, some of them sharp.
Fascinating to see that faced with a NuLab loss some are now suggesting PR! Though I imagine this is related to self-censorship of BNP info on Guardian sites.
Note the statistical juggling — all to do with economics.
(There is ALMOST NOTHING on education; ALMOST NOTHING on race and immigration; and NOTHING on crime — unbelievable!)
The sale of mobile phone licences is rated by one emailer as worse than the gold sell-off.
Somewhere in the Guardian an Ozzie said that 30,000 Brits moved there in ONE YEAR 2006 I think; on average they had £230,000. £7 bn just in one year, just to Australia…..
These figures are really frightening, when these jokers tricked their way to power our National debt was about £360 billion, and we had a small balance of payment surplus. We are now running a £6 billion a month trading deficit and it is getting bigger. This false so-called boom using cheap money, is the wrong way to do it, if you want genuine prosperity you manufacture goods to sell and export them. The country is almost bankrupt, and the blame can be laid fair and square on this Communist Government’s shoulders, this disaster has been carefully planned by Blair/Brown and co and now, we are seeing the outcome of their efforts to destroy our country.
Just another slight waste to wind us all up. This report shows just how inept the government and it’s lackeys are:

None of it is either.
Its ALL deliberate! - Ed
WoW! I just read RW’s link to The Guardian and there really are some vicious comments, quite a few of which are from voters for ‘others’, I would reckon. The BNP really needs to hammer home the point that nothing would be any different under Cameron because our sovereign powers now reside in Brussels. Get those leaflets and fact-sheets through the letter-boxes. It’s why I send you my money:-)
Slightly off topic but an important point from a new organisation that aims at ‘protecting the Western ideal of a civilised, humane, and free society’.
Jorge Soley, of Spain’s Fundación Burke underlined that during their eight years in power, the right-wing Partido Popular committed the fatal error of “saying yes to managing the economy, but no to culture, as if culture was a problem for the left.” Soley suggested that this problem applies to the whole of Europe: that the “right” consists of free-market liberals, who are mostly interested in business. And that is precisely why Europe needs conservatism: to re-awaken those on the right that culture and education matter too much to be left to the left. “Although conservatives understand the importance of capitalism and markets in a free society, conservatives must stand for virtue, and not only for the market place.”
Of course there is only one conservative party in Britain and its name is not ‘Conservative.’
Their website:

The official inflation figure of 3% is an outright lie like just about everything from this Marxist regime.
The real figure is about 13% a year and that is a reasonably conservative estimate. By the end of 2008 it will have reached 16.6%
All of the 3 main parties are quite happy to fiddle the figures on inflation to suit themselves.
When the Marxists came to power in 1997 there was about an 18% difference in UK-EUSSR tax levels. Today that difference is about 4%. This was all about achieving tax harmony. The EUSSR was and is totally incapable of reducing its levels of taxation to those of the UK so the only alternative was to increase UK taxation levels to those of the EUSSR. This has just about been completed now. We will have true tax harmonization by 2010. Just as a matter of interest, when Margaret Thatcher was elected the difference was nearly 26%
The other name for this kind of tax harmonization is deliberate impoverishment.
Yes Ed, every little crumb of activity down to the last dying breath of this Stalinist dictatorship liblabcon on our lands will be nothing more than a deliberate crap on the heads of the indigenous population.
Under any of them, with the use of the - “I’d like to teach the world to sing, pull on your heart strings, your responsible for all the poor people in the world, every single thing thats wrong in the world is our fault and we’re going to turn your country into a third world s**t-hole to pay you all back and let you see how it feels trick”
-
Yes, that’s the liblabcon vibrant, rainbow utopia. - Ed
Yes Ed, greed will do no-one any good, but a respect of each other’s nations and cultures in their OWN lands where each other’s rules are applied and respected will benefit the world.
If people accept that we are different and need our own spaces after thousands of years of development, no matter how small the peoples and culture involved, then that would truly be Nirvana.

We can add to that the £300+ billion trade deficit since these monkeys came to power:

Trevor Kavanagh writes in his article for The Sun that nobody is threatening Gordon Brown with a firing squad.
Maybe not but he will stand trail for treason and the appropriate sentenced passed if and when found guilty! Oh what a glorious day that will be.
Re: Sun article.
A most valuable analysis.
But wasn’t it ‘The Sun’ who ’swung it’ for nulab back in ‘97?
And wasn’t its owner Rupert Murdoch a great pal of Tony’s back then?
Across the pond the printed media is called ‘the prostitute press’ by some ‘right wing conservatives.’
Seems like the UK equivalent is looking for new customers.
No doubt it won’t be a long search.
The trouble is, to some degree, the electorate itself is also responsible for this mind-boggling deficit. How so? By people constantly demanding more and more ’services’ be provided by the Government of the day. No matter who holds the reins of power, Government and its various agencies, cannot satisfy every need the populace sees fit to demand. Health, Defence, Education, Pensions, etc. perhaps should be financed by the Government but when you look at the ‘wish list’ presented by people today (grants to the Arts, ballooning Foreign Aid payments, child benefits for all and sundry, married or otherwise, featherbedding of asylum seekers, criminals and the like) it is beyond the realms of possibility to furnish these schemes and keep the national cheque book in the black. People must take more responsibility for their own lives. By all means, help those disadvanted through no fault of their own but why create a cushy, alternate lifestyle for those who just do not want to make any effort themselves to keep body and soul together. If Labour continues to spend at this rate to placate this element within our society, the Welfare State could soon become the Farewell State. My message to the electorate is Demand Less but Demand Better.
Despite my cynicism, and my knowledge of the stupendous waste of resources under this and previous governments, I am shocked at the figures you mention. More than a trillion Pounds wasted! And no end in sight.
I expect that when the BNP gains power, the welfare bill will be slashed. NOT because we’re going to deprive those in genuine need, rather than self-inflicted need, from welfare, but because if you’re a drug addict, a pusher, a thief, an habitual drunkard, etc., you will automatically lose your entitlement to benefits.
This regime, in line with Common Purpose theory, which is to bring about the breakdown of our society, spends the most on those who pose the greatest risk to society, such as drug addicts and other criminals, by handing them every imaginable benefit. Law-abiding, quiet, orderly Britons, such as OAP’s in genuine need through no fault of their own, are way down the benefits handouts list, and the BNP will surely rectify this wicked state of affairs.
I must be a soothsayer.It is happening more quickly than I expected.
Figures out today ( 14th ) show unemployment has risen by 14,000 in the last quarter and average wage demands have been 4%.
Let’s see if the Clown can hold back the public services pay to less than 4%.Labour have no money so they are reliant on the unions for any election campaigns.If he can’t,then, inflation will rocket as the private sector look for parity in pay which will force up commodity prices.
Oh what a tangled web we weave.
Leeds Lass - you are right to say only quangos, IT companies and ‘consultants’ have benefited - and what a surprise, those positions are usually filled by buddies of the corrupt liars and traitors in parliament, most of who should be introduced to the ‘business end of a rope’.
The Parliamentary sleaze watchdog has thrown out a complaint about the wife of Commons Speaker Michael Martin, saying it is “reasonable” that she spends £4,000 of taxpayers’ money on taxi fares to go on shopping sprees.
Standards Commissioner John Lyon said the £4,139 spent by Mary Martin on 156 taxi journeys was “reasonable” and within the rules, it was revealed today.
No surprise there, then.
My shares in WhitewashUK PLC have just gone up in price again.
I note that 7000 people are still homeless after last summer’s floods.
This contrasts sharply with the speed in which the government responds to humanitarian crises abroad.

The Labour Party have always been good at spending money,as long as it is not theirs.The amount of waste would have properly funded the Armed Services and the Health Service many times over. There is more about Common Purpose in these blogs as well as the mainstream press - do you think the message is getting across?
We certainly hope it is - Ed.
Let us not forget the hundreds of millions diverted by Claire Short, when International Development Secretary, from the aid agencies to her favourite corrupt third world dictatorships.
Oh Gordon, you intellectual moron! It’s not HOW much money you spend, it’s WHERE you spend it. Recently in Swansea there was a scheme to teach muslim women to fish all from the public purse. Multiply this across a plethora of ‘good causes’ and you’ll quickly see that pandering to a multitude of small single-interest groups deprives the majority of the population and CAUSES a breakdown in ’social cohesion’. Perhaps I ought to stand for your job you arrogant toad.
