Newell News-round up, week 12

Week 12, Legal aid is about to be slashed to pieces by this Tory government and its sideman partners the LibDems going to prove that there is no justice, there is just us. You could not make it up


Austerity/Cuts/Privatisation

No more cuts will be made to the frontline military services, the rest of us will have to foot the bill for this, despite our illegal war of terror costing the taxpayer billions and the cost of human life is beyond count. It is not just the British and US troops or the civilians suffering but now the Afghanistan peace force that has been ill equipped and left behind are losing limbs and life.

Nick Clegg says we must "cut the welfare for the rich" first but in throwing the children overboard by increasing the tuition fees he has showed where his loyalties really lie and any such attacks on them will be used eventually to remove such 'benefits' from the poor. It is classic divide and rule tactics. Even Ed Balls has reiterated this position, proving that there is no choice when it comes to politics, just puppets that share the same mask.

Privatisation is the vehicle that politicians use to move money from the public into the pockets of their criminal profiteer mates in the private sector. Spurious claims that the private sector have created 1.2million jobs are statistics manipulated to sell us their lies. This usually means that half of these jobs were once public sector posts now syphoned off and the rest are probably job shared posts with two people working one job but it doubles the economies labour statistics. Businesses have then been paid off by the government for doing such things. One such example of jobs being privatised is the current sell of of Royal Mail where there are more strikes planned over cuts and job security. Royal Mail is worth billions with its parcel delivery service making money hand over fist, yet the government want to sell it off.

900,000 more people joined the millions already in the UK considered to live in poverty, going to show that politicians want to throw us overboard without a life jacket, we are surplus to requirements. You might be lucky enough to get a food stamp for a food bank but you must meet a certain criteria, in the mean time the head of the DWP Iain Duncan-Smith is eating £39 breakfasts and telling us we can live on £53 pound a week. When are people going to start pointing their fingers at these criminals and thieves?

The Fire Minister Brandon Lewis' office was visited by a concerned group of humans who wanted to discuss cuts, privatisation and the pensions attacks agenda. He responded on a radio broadcast and deflected the situation by talking about gold plated pensions. None of which was true.

In other news a child was refused lunch because his parents owed £1.75. You cannot make this shit up.

Health and Welfare

An elderly care centre, Mosaic Community Care, is under investigation  after a row about the care of an elderly lady. They have been apparently suspended by the UK Homecare Association which means they will be no longer recommending Mosaic Community Care for elderly people whilst the suspension stands.

Economics

Canary Wharf, June 2013 - G8 protest


The G8 summit have vowed to make a difference on tax avoidance, but not likely to occur before the thieves, cheats and scoundrels have found another loop hole or place to stash their cash. Anti-G8 demonstrations have taken place in London and Belfast and the UK Pre Crime Police Division have been in force again, arresting fifty seven people for questioning this week in London. Some arrested just for thinking about protesting, yet if you are a fraudulent banking terrorist or laundering drug cartel money, you can get away scot-free. You couldn't make it up.

Pensioners took a kicking this week in The Times on Saturday, Michael Parris has said that it is the pensioner (and not the banking terrorists) that have stolen the futures of the young. The Murdoch agenda is supported generously by the supposedly unbiased BBC who ran a story stating that pensioners are the only group to have received a steady increase in income over the past thirty years. They are framing the agenda for the largest assault on your pensions and savings in a generation, they want it all back and it looks like they will get it because people, for the most part, are too busy sleeping to see it. That is why George Carlin called it "The American Dream."

World

Erdogan told the Turkish protesters to go home or else and was met with a show of defiance as thousands descended on Gezi Park to show him what they thought of his views on democracy. This resulted in more blood shed as the fascists used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowds.

Old Detroit City is bankrupt and the Mayor is paving the way for debt consolidation. Perhaps he is paving the way for Delta City to be built as we saw in Robocop!

Technology

Google is looking to provide remote parts of the world with the internet by supplying 'near space balloons' to bridge the gap. Presumably they can afford it with the amount of tax payments they have been dodging in the UK.

The brilliant technology show TED have been discussing the merits of drones saying that they can reach otherwise hard to get places, unfortunately for us the military and surveillance applications are what our governments really want them for. Just ask the German urban street artists. Also at TED they have debated the future of aviation, but I would like to see the advancement of maglev trains myself.

Sport

The lions are in Australia and Shane Williams has been called up as injury cover. He always chokes on the big occasions.

Entertainment

A senior police detective involved in the Jimmy Saviile enquiry has joined the Big Brother house. No comment required.
















Man of Steel opened this week, just two days before Fathers Day, to rave reviews from fans but mixed opinions from the so called experts. It is not the fourth Dark Knight movie as some of them may have expected but then Superman is very different to other super heroes, his story is one of the light and righteousness. It is who he is. Check it out.

Newel News-round Up, Week 3

Week three has been dominated by the death of Margaret Thatcher which must mean there has bee plenty else going on around the rest of the globe.

Health and fitness

In some ironic and comically morbid twist, Thatcher who is known by some for stealing milk from babies, her death coincided with the UK having to ration the amount of baby milk formula sold due to an issue with a surge in demand in China. First signs of a trade war or more worryingly a sign of the dependence families have on corporations to provide our children with nourishment. Let's face it, if Tesco or Sainsbury's disappeared tomorrow the population in the UK would halve within months.

Wonder drug Prozac has been in the news again and is twenty-five years old. Quite how a drug that has so many side affects has been championed as a saviour in mental illness is open for debate. Anyone who has seen the BBC documentary, Pill Poppers, will know what I mean and if you have not seen it? Take an hour and get informed on the great pharmaceutical company con.

Environment

The government and their scientists are still trying to persuade us that fracking will solve all our energy crises needs. With an up coming Matt Damon movie, The Promised Land, which seems set to light up the debate again the government and all vested stake holders seem to be pushing the message out that fracking is safe. If only honesty, health and safety did not suffer when profits rule I would not be so concerned. Fracking as an alternative energy does not solve the issue that everything we have or use is made from oil.

Science and Technology

Nanoscience has shown us another amazing development with the latest creation a new material. For those of you with science minds the more in depth information can be found here.


Education/Welfare

Unicef, the charity that champions children's rights, something that currently the U.S and Somalia do not, have reported that the current UK austerity measures have set our children back behind the majority of the so called civilised world. Aspiration nation? More like dream snatcher nation.

The academy debate is over (so much for democracy) as the new child chief says it is time to be concerned about what kids are taught rather than where they taught, except that when a school is privately owned and run then it becomes a results driven basis to provide profit for shareholders. This can not be to the benefit of the children can it? Particularly if children are subsequently taught what to think and not how to think.

Not content with dumbing down the nation via grade inflation, now they want to remove the climate debate from the curriculum. It must be that those with the disillusionment of power have fallen for the "Climate change? What about all this snow?" Argument that seems to be doing the rounds. Like I have told my esteemed colleagues; climate and whether is like class and form in sporting terms, form is temporary and class is permanent. So it is with weather (form) and climate (permanent) so to speak.

Politics

Aside from the Thatcher fiasco we have war monger and criminal, Tony Blair, causing a disturbance in the force and a rift in the Labour Party with his comments about their 'move to the left'. The fact that Stalin was further left than Tony Blair and the position of this current Labour lot is no different to that of his blood stained time in Downing Street seems to have been lost on him. He must be setting himself up for a shot at 2015 or beyond.

The young girl who would be Youth Police Crime Commissioner has also stood down. If she had lied to 60 million people and been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, including fathers, mother sons and daughters, she would have been given a multi-million pound deal working for J.P. Morgan.

The ministers from the G8 met to talk about North Korea (I feel safer already...) who have now upset their Chinese neighbours with their latest comments and actions.

World

Angelina Jolie has been schmoozing the G8 by saying that wartime rape is preventable. She must have missed the bulletin from Theresa May when she said that a woman's human rights is only applicable during a period of peace time and not during war time, to coin a phrase from her "I am not making this up."

America as usual is a basket case. This week a man was gunned down by S.W.A.T for holding firefighters hostage in his house (that was to foreclose) as he asked for his utilities to be switched back on. Police said they had no other option.

Another man has been arrested and is suspected of over 1000 thefts in the area of Maine. I am surprised he has not been deemed a terrorist as one of the stipulations in various different terror acts that the U.S. have now is that you cannot have more than 7 days worth of supplies.

And finally Barack Obama has been back to his acting best by making more inroads into the removal of guns from the streets of America. He did not make any comment about the number of families he and previous governments have torn apart by their use of arms and policies for supplying arms to the first sign of insurgents in a country that they want political control over. No he didn't.
