Work and Pensions

Online Parliamentary Information Office and Yearbook: Are those Senior conservatives  & sources really so dim in just now waken up after 13 yrs of labours plunder ?
 Now realising the embezzling going on, and more to the point, the Tories are stuck...(serve'em right) they can't do anything now that would avoid them loosing votes. (They've lost it anyway) even before IDS  tries to rectify the busted welfare system without causing even more problems, and those effected by welfare curtailment are bound to walk directly into the labour party by default.
Just watch the socialist safety valve 'lift', in coming to the rescue.




Online Parliamentary Information Office and Yearbook: What about the disgusting treatment the unemployed are subjected to, by having their £71 per week benefits sanctioned for 13 weeks. Simply because they won't apply for a job that they cannot get to??

For an example.. A job advertised on Universal Jobmatch starts at 6am. Public transport doesn't start running until 6am, so the person simply can't get to the job.

More on Honours

Online Parliamentary Information Office and Yearbook: The simple questions about the senior awards are:

Does the recipient of the title truly believe that they are better than anyone else because of it

Are they so deluded that they believe that their title makes up for poor work or underhand decisions throughout their lives

Do they not see that if a title is given to them for such bad performance, then the title itself is debased and deserves no special treatment

Do any of us treat such recipients any differently simply because of the title

And lastly, would we follow any of these "knights" or "lords" into battle because that was the criteria for such honours in the past.


Online Parliamentary Information Office and Yearbook: How many times must I read that politicians at all levels 'deserve' recognition through the honours system because 'they could earn more in the private sector'? Bunkum.  Let them attempt to do so; in the true private sector and not some sinecure provided by government and councils of all hues. Too many of our politicians have little or no experience of a real working life and wouldn't last a week in the private sector. There are thousands of real people who give their time and knowledge freely in the support of others.  It is they who deserve "honours"

About Wind Farms

Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: They are everywhere!  Scotland's landscape has been destroyed by these ugly monsters. On a recent trip to Montrose I counted no less than 38 separate wind farms - There is barely a spot on the M74 where you can't see one!


Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: The big question is how many more turbines will it take to produce 100 percent of Scotland's Electricty 100 percent of the time and at what cost Scotland is being festooned with turbines and power lines at the moment with less than 5 percent of electricty requirement s on average being produced .
Somebody in the UKs Energy departments need to get real and really work out what is required to meet power requirements of the future or is this too much to ask?

Energy Ads

Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: In addition, the damned government is slapping taxes on energy, deliberately restricting supply and generally messing everything up under the lie of 'climate change' when really it is only a tax grabbing exercise.



Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: as keep telling me that I'd be better off switching to this or that deal. Somehow, I doubt they have my best interest at heart. The only way to 'save' money on my gas bill is to switch the central heating off.

Economic Info

Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: It seems it was the pensioners who were prosteting last night.They have just lost their 'in-line with inflation'   increase.

I also think this is about the changes in unemployment benefits. The unemployed do not receive the emergency 400 Euros a month now, if they have parents working or grandparents on a pension. Yep, its the bank of mom and dad or Nan and granddad.
Spain has got to be out of the mess for next year, the cuts are horrendous.





Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: The illusion that you can switch hard times on and off at will as if politicians and bankers stand above the laws of economics will soon be debunked.

Money magic is a futile and dangerously childish belief that seems to have removed all will from politicians to deal with the real social and industrial causes of this appalling crisis.

Real productivity in the West has plummetted. Managers, in many cases, are lazy, incompetent, corrosively selfish and are doing catastrophic damage to real productivity.  There are too many of them and at the same time millions are being paid to do nothing.

This is the reality.  Rather than address reality, politicians still believe in the money magic fairy.  They are clueless, idealess and shadows of what heavyweight politicians once were and will soon need to be again.

It will be a great day when these people are hurled into political obscurity by the tidal wave of events coming our way.  It is going to happen, have no doubt about that.  Our ruling and middle classes have become complacent, lazy, selfish and decadent.

Pension Reforms

Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: One further point the pensions industry was lambasted for telling people to opt out of SERPS and S2P and in many cases were told to pay compensation for misselling.  Will these companies now be able to claim the monies paid out from the Government.  I think not, or will I be able to claim money from the Government for running a Ponsi scheme under the name of National Insurance.  No I will just have to work until I drop


Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: It is all well and good running a campaign to say hands off our pensions when high earners will lose £1,000 per year. However, I heard no redress for people born between 1955 and 1960 who have seen their pensions disappear for between 2 and 7 years. My understanding that the delay in pension payment is not that there is not enough funds to pay pensions now but for the generation who are just starting work. Alot of people in that bracket will have paid into the system for over 50 years. Where was the justice for a large swathe of the population? Not a word. I suspect because the baby boomers have their pensions and the young generation have thrown in the towel and expect the state to provide

Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook

Online Parliamentary Information Yearbook: I have found the Parliamentary Yearbook invaluable. My editorial piece was published on line and in the 'hard copy' edition of The Yearbook. Apart from increasing the number of relationships my organisation has with certain central and local government organisations, it gave me the opportunity to establish relationships with other organisations such as charities, hospitals, healthcare organisations, community groups, schools, colleges, universities.

Debt Crisis

Parliamentary Information Yearbook:

I wonder what surprises the EU have in store to ensure Berlusconi doesn't get back in? I'm betting its the same philosophy as that which drove him out. Let Italian bond yields rise in fear of his return to the point where GS/ECB again has to step in and install another technocrat.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that Monti tendered his exit to coincide with an appointment extremely high in the echelons of the Eurocracy. Wait for the announcement...

Parliamentary Information Yearbook:
announcement to run for the office for the fifth time'Maybe I have missed something here, but wasn't Berlusconi given a 4 year sentance for tax fraud. How can he run for office again? Can DT explain?Have I missed something here? Or are we ignoring that and going for a day of Italian bashing? I can live with that.

Fight the ban: fight for choice campaign

Parliamentary Information Yearbook: Launched in May 2004, when the threat of a comprehensive public smoking ban in the UK became clear, our Fight the Ban: Fight for Choice campaign saw Forest engage is an unprecedented level of lobbying. For the first time, in addition to our regular media work, we placed a series of display advertisements in both the national and local press. Forest ads appeared in Blake's Parliamentary Yearbook and calls continued to flood in to the Forest office.

Comments on Go Green

Parliamentary Information Yearbook: Just when we thought that the politicians had plumbed the depths of stupidity they yet again find a way to alienate the people of this country from the political process and no doubt find a way to line their, or their chums, pockets in the process.

Attempting to tackle the, as yet unproven, problem of global warming by pandering to flatulent livestock in the third world, while ignoring the emissions of greenhouse gasses by India and China is pointless.

If we do have £2 billion to spare it would be better spent stimulating the economy of this country by moving people who live in areas liable to flood to higher ground. Because the major polluters are not going to change their ways. Welcome to Atlantis.


Parliamentary Information Yearbook: I see there is another climate change jamboree taking place. To limit carbon emissions couldn't green warrior Ed Davey and his hangers on have taken part by video link?

I also notice the pledge was welcomed by a representative of Oxfam who also happens to be in Doha. If we want to stop our money being squandered like this  we should stop the incestuous links between green lobbyists, so called charities and our political elite.

Parliamentary Information Yearbook - Discussion on Debt

Parliamentary Information Yearbook: Another way of looking at it is that Osborne even with the most generous estimate has reduced the deficit by 20b BUT if he had not cut infrastructure spending , the economy would have kept on growing at 3% a year ie over two years the output would be 6% higher now , or £60b a year in a trillion pound economy.

So he has lost us £60b a year over the next ten years ie the debt will be £600b a year over the next ten years , all because he wanted to save a one off 20b.

He should understand simple economics and reverse course now and borrow from the companies and British people and start investing massively in wind and solar farms and super high speed underground trains and overland picturesque motorways eg through the Penines which will encourge tourism and link east and west.





Parliamentary Information Yearbook: so austerity is proved yet again to be a mistaken policy.
