Boris Johnson Claimed Children Of Working Mothers More Likely To Mug You

borisjohnson071219a.jpg

Boris Johnson made allegations that kids of working mothers in low-income families were unloved and undisciplined and more inclined to mug you on the street corner and in a 2006 anthology of broadcasting, called Have I Got Views for You, Boris Johnson bemoaned the growing tendency of women to work, stating they had been culturally Gestapo’d into the workplace.

Boris Johnson said that in the last 30 years an ever-growing proportion of British women have been incentivised or socially gestapo’d into the workplace, on what appears to be the ambiguous premise that the harder a woman works the happier she will be but he wasn’t sure if that was true of women or anyone else.

In the book, written before he became Mayor of London, Boris Johnson stated that a growing amount of female graduates tended to pair up with male graduates, a method known by economists as assortative mating and that they then combine their advantages.

And that the outcome was that in families on lower incomes the women have absolutely no alternative but to work, usually with unfavourable consequences for family life and society as a whole, in that unloved kids and undisciplined children are more inclined to become hoodies, Neets (not in education, employment or training) and mug you on the street corner.

But Boris Johnson has nothing but contempt for women and working-class people and for him to speak about people in such a repulsive fashion displays just how out of touch he is and it’s apparent that he only ever stands up for the vested few.

And these comments were the latest thing that has come to light during the election campaign, as the Prime Minister’s opinions, including those of migrant and low-income families, as well as women, have come under examination.

Boris_Johnson_HIGNFY.jpg

The book’s title is a play on Have I Got News For You, the paradoxical BBC quiz show that Boris Johnson emerged on numerous times, serving to develop his public profile outside of Westminster.

In his introduction to the group, which was strapped with anecdotes about his time as Brussels correspondent for the Telegraph, he said that of his journalism: “You may sometimes think that’s not how it is. But never mind, buster: this is how I see it.”

He’s frequently been questioned throughout the campaign about his earlier comments, including on a special edition of the BBC’s Question Time, which saw audience members press him about whether some of his writings had stoked prejudice.

And in past columns for the Daily Telegraph, which paid him £275,000 a year for his work until he became prime minister, Boris Johnson said that Muslim women donning the burqa looked like letterboxes and he’s further been reprimanded in the past for using the idioms ‘piccaninnies and watermelon smiles’.

Of course, racist discourse is completely widespread in this country and Boris Johnson has personally contributed to this. Boris Johnson said that he genuinely never intended to cause hurt or pain to anybody and that wasn’t his intention, yet he went on to defend his right to speak out.

It seems it’s his right when he wants and when he feels like it, but if it was anybody else they’d probably be arrested for discrimination, but of course, all the elite get away with it, along with the fairy dust that gets them off the hook every time.

And it appears that women are scolded no matter what they do. If they don’t work they’re a freeloader, if they work, then they’re somewhat better off but still a mother therefore fair game to be attacked about everything they do in their lives.

And mother’s are being forced to work, particularly single mothers and they’re reprimanded if they don’t because it’s always easy to take a mindless pop at the parent who stands by their responsibility.

And countless families couldn’t afford a roof over their heads if the mother didn’t work and it’s often the mother that’s the main breadwinner and countless children of single and working mums have better degrees than Boris Johnson but have to take anything that they can to survive.

Boris Johnson doesn’t know how to run a country because all he’s ever had to do is live in it, but he’s never had to survive in it but he knows how to pick on anyone and rabble rouse resentment because that’s the only way he knows how to reach people and he really has sunk to the bottom of the barrel with this one.

Wow, Boris, I bet your family just love being around you? What a nasty piece of work you are and the Tories are more likely to rob you financially than children of single mothers.

But surely no one should be shocked by this, the Tories only care about the wealthy but us fools that work for a living are looked down on by them.

So, there you have it, clown Boris Johnson dislikes working mums, black people, the poor and the disabled, is there anyone this embryonic despot and dictator doesn’t hate unless their wealthy? And clearly, Boris Johnson has a really serious case of foot and mouth.

But then who does Boris Johnson like? We know he hates the poor and working classes, we never hear him say anything bad about his wealthy comrades but he’ll happily make nasty comments and attack the poorest in society to make his point.

And he has nothing pleasant to say about the backbone of the workers or the preponderance of people in this country and he will do for the wealthy before helping the most disadvantaged in society but he does like pole dancers!

And why are the Tories continually making cheap comments? They’re like a pack of deranged attack dogs who can’t even raise a level by actually entering into a political discussion because defamation, insults and smears are not political debate and it shows their level of education.

TELEMMGLPICT000204546635_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqH8oGYaaASnJZUiuddQ1p_1wP4cZC2op4cETTPN2xDHg.jpeg

They might have come away from university with A levels but Eton certainly didn’t teach Boris Johnson how to live in the real world.

Boris Johnson has attacked single women and their children. He’s called the working class as being just drunks and he said that working women’s sons are more likely to mug you.

Then you have the Tory MP for Gower in Wales saying people on benefits need to be put down. Then Jacob Rees-Mogg is reprimanding the people in the Grenfell Tower for not leaving the blazing block of flats and since then he’s disappeared and has probably been told to keep out of the limelight and to keep his rich mouth shut.

The Tories are the ones that brought in the Bedroom Tax and they’re the party that started the cuts because the country was broke and in debt.

Those cuts brought hardship to loads of people but for a broke country, there was still enough money in the piggy bank for Margaret Thatcher’s funeral, Prince William’s wedding and security for Barack Obama’s visit to London.

There was no deficiency of money then as it was just the Tories bringing hardship on the people with the excuse that it was needed and the Tories included the likes of Esther McVile and she brought suffering on old people, the unemployed and the disabled.

Boris Johnson is living, breathing proof that you don’t have to be smart or skilled to get a top job, all you need is money and the right contacts backing you and he’s a liar, a womaniser, a silver-spooned toff, an ex-journalist who wrote and said stuff for a response, like many do and he should be nowhere near No 10.

Boris Johnson said that children of working mothers are unloved and undisciplined and are more likely to mug you on the street corner but aren’t the Tories the very same people who said parents should work when their child or children reach school age?

Not everyone had a nanny like Boris Johnson probably did or they can’t afford child care or has someone near to hand they can trust completely to collect and look after the children after school.

It used to be at one time the mother stayed at home looking after the family, even though times were difficult, now they’re looked upon as lewd, shameless scroungers who raise their children badly, yet the Tories mug you with a fountain pen, with an ink cartridge, of course, they wouldn’t be able to manage with one you had to fill from a bottle.

Just remember working class people this is Boris Johnson at his most elegant, shunning anyone poorer than himself, ridiculing us like the vested fool that he is and the Tory party with these rich Etonian types don’t serve you and never will.

Boris Johnson, you’re not our master, but you are a liar.

 

Prince Andrew Made Secret Deal

NINTCHDBPICT000540462885-2.jpg

Prince Andrew made a dark deal to travel around the world on a £40 million luxury jet owned by a questionable financier whose private bank he unobtrusively promoted while working as Britain’s overseas trade envoy.

b43bdfd6-665a-11e7-9a66-93fb352ba1fe.jpeg

A leaked email exposed how Prince Andrew cooked it so that property financier David Rowland’s impressive 14 seat plane was used for some of his overseas Royal engagements after the Prince became discouraged with the ageing aircraft provided by the RAF.

Records that were discovered show how in the last two years Prince Andrew has travelled on the Global Express at least five times while on official Royal duties, some of which he merged with promoting his treasured Pitch@Palace project or David Rowland’s latest business enterprise.

The email further reveals how Prince Andrew, Britain’s roving trade ambassador between 2001 and 2011, sought assurances that the aircraft would have strong security while it was on the ground at Farnborough airport in Hampshire because it was going to be used by members of the Royal Family.

105349189-1532444279996gettyimages-469465519.jpg

Buckingham Palace stated the flights were not taxpayer-funded but declined to disclose how they were paid for, other than to say the matter was private and a spokesperson further declined to say which Royals had used the plane or who met the security bill.

The unusual arrangement with struck in 2010 when Prince Andrew was still UK trade envoy but reports show he travelled on the executive plane as recently as this May and in October last year, records reveal the jet flew to the United Arab Emirates and the Court Circular shows that only the next day Prince Andrew was yet again cutting the ribbon on one of Mr Rowland’s banks following a multi-million-pound deal.

The Duke had earlier opened a bank owned by the Rowlands in the tax haven of Luxembourg in September 2009 and then one in Monaco in 2012 and in the eight days after opening the headquarters of the Anglo-Gulf Trade Bank in Abu Dhabi, Prince Andrew attended three Pitch@Palace events there.

Prince Andrew’s use of the top of the range plane is bound to raise questions over whether the Duke was left indebted to the Rowland family and in fact, in a separate gushing email to Jonathan Rowland, David’s 44-year-old son and loyal business lieutenant, Prince Andrew barely concealed his delight at the arrangement and he wrote that he was profoundly thankful to his father for making this possible and that he had a different outlook on life and its opportunities, whilst trying to not let it go to his head, which he found extremely difficult.

And the MoS revealed how Prince Andrew unobtrusively plugged Rowland’s Luxembourg-based bank for the super-rich while on overseas trade envoy missions and how the Duke allowed the Rowland’s to shoehorn meetings into his trade tours so they could expand the bank and solicit rich clients.

Of course, the jet deal had a conflict of interest written in 6 feet high print and Nigel Mills, before the Election a member of the Commons public accounts committee, vowed that if re-elected this week, he would demand an inquiry by the National Audit Office spending watchdog because it posed real questions about whether when Prince Andrew was performing his Royal duties, was he doing that in the national interest or in the interests of his mates?

With a range of more than 7,000 miles and a deluxe cabin furnished to the specific requirements of the owner, the Global Express was certainly an impressive choice of plane and such an aircraft would cost up to £7,600 per hour to hire, although there isn’t a fixed price but hourly costs can be between £5,900 and £7,600, that covers pilots, fuel and everything else.

David Rowland was thrilled by his new plane after a delivery ceremony and dinner hosted by its manufacturer Bombardier in December 2010 and he recorded that it was a great aeroplane from the quality of it, from its flying capacity to its fantastic interior and paintwork, it had exceeded all expectation.

It certainly was a stark difference to the weary RAF executive jets of 32 Squadron used by the Royals and other dignitaries with some of the jets dating back to the 1970s which were unable to travel across the Atlantic.

And in a startling leaked email, Prince Andrew told Mansour Ojjeh, President of Tag Group, the then owner of Farnborough airport, that he was fed up with the Government’s incompetence to replace the aircraft.

Prince Andrew stated that over the last few years, he had been increasingly discouraged at the Government’s lack of action and failure to see the need for replacement of the aircraft of the current Royal Flight.

In the late 1990s, Prince Andrew, then still a Royal Navy officer, suggested privatising the Royal Family’s helicopters, this led to the Queen leasing a US-built helicopter instead of using two RAF Wessex helicopters.

But in his email, he bawled that he’d failed to convince the Government to also privatise the Royal Flight’s fixed-wing aircraft and in a series of unusual comments, he admitted to Mr Ojjeh that he’d taken things into his own hands and approached several private providers.

Buckingham Palace declined to say how many aircraft owners the Duke spoke to but his associate David Rowland was one of them.

Buckingham Palace also declined to disclose the funding of the arrangement but the Duke’s claim to have paid for access to the jet raises more questions about his ambiguous finances.

Prince Andrew’s only real income amounts to a £20,000 a year Navy pension and a reported £249,000 paid privately each year by the Queen to run his official office.

The Prince’s purpose for writing to Mr Ojjeh was to solicit assurances that the plane would be kept securely at Farnborough, Britain’s private jet hub and he’s concerned about the security of the aircraft as it’s going to be used by members of the Royal Family and that he would like to know if it’s going to be secure whilst it’s on the ground at Farnborough and the Prince sent a draft of the email to Jonathan Rowland, asking for any comments, additions or deletions.

The jet deal further demonstrates the extraordinary intimate ties between Andrew and David Rowland, who was a tax exile for more than 30 years and who helped pay off Sarah Ferguson’s debts and in 2010, David Rowland resigned as Tory Party treasurer amid debate surrounding his business activities.

The MoS can show how Prince Andrew appeared to use Mr Rowland’s plane to travel to the Middle East for a visit in which he gave the Royal seal of approval to another one of his friend’s profitable business ventures.

Buckingham Palace’s Court Circular shows that Prince Andrew opened the headquarters of the Ango Gulf Trade Bank in Abu Dhabi’s glittering Al Maqam Tower, a 37 storey glass skyscraper on October 16, 2018.

The bank is a joint enterprise between AGTB Holdings, a Rowland family-controlled company, and Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company and Prince Andrew was pictured cutting a ribbon in front of Edmund Rowland, David’s 34-year-old son who became the bank’s chief executive.

Intriguingly, the Court Circular makes no mention of how and when Prince Andrew landed in Abu Dhabi but the MoS has obtained flight records for Mr Rowland’s Global Express that showed it travelled from Farnborough to Abu Dhabi, a six-hour, 47-minute flight, the day before the opening ceremony and the bank’s bosses were titillated the Duke had brought some Royal stardust to their launch.

Prince Andrew’s most current flight on Mr Rowland’s plane was in May when he travelled to Canada for a six-day visit and publicly obtainable flight records reveal the aircraft flew from Farnborough to Halifax Standfield airport in Nova Scotia on May 23.

That night, according to the Court Circular, Buckingham Palace’s register of official engagements, the Duke attended a dinner hosted by Nova Scotia’s lieutenant governor.

The plane then seems to have whisked him to Toronto for more official appointments, including a visit to Lakefield College School, a private school in Ontario where, as a 17-year-old, he enjoyed a delightful six months but the visit could be his last, following the unfortunate BBC interview about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, and Lakefield’s head confirmed Prince Andrew was no longer the honorary chairman of its foundation.

The Canada trip was one of more than 30 foreign excursions since 2014 in which Prince Andrew promoted Pitch@Palace and he attended a so-called boot camp for the project in Toronto and an event at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

prince-andrew-duke-of-york-air-miles-travel-air-miles-andy-820952.jpg

The Duke, known as ‘Air Miles Andy’, left Toronto on May 28, landing at Farnborough the next day and this precisely matched the six hours, 13 minutes flight recorded for Mr Rowland’s jet.

His schedule had also precisely matched the flight records of Mr Rowland’s aircraft two months earlier when Prince Andrew landed at Bahrain International airport on the evening of March 25 and according to the Court Circular, Mr Rowland’s Global Express touched down at the same airport at 7.22 pm that night.

The Duke also visited the Royal Navy’s £40 million support base in Mina Salman and had dinner with the King of Bahrain, he also attended two Pitch@Palace events.

It was a similar picture in October 2017, when during a four-day stay to Abu Dhabi he combined visits to Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince and an international school with three Pitch@Palace events again travelling home on his friend’s luxury plane, landing at Luton airport on October 5, as did Mr Rowland’s Global Express.

Buckingham Palace said that Sovereign Grant funds official overseas travel by members of the Royal Family, at the behest of Government and that none of the flights listed was paid for by the Sovereign Grant.

Farnborough2008-073.jpg

The Rowlands refused to comment for legal reasons and Farnborough airport said that they didn’t comment on flights operating from the airport.

Yet these Royals jet the world and then like Charles they preach to us mortals not to keep flying and then lecture about this climate nonsense and I guess that Charles has his aides reading the newspapers and the comments but the monarchy is now wavering on the brink of an abyss and now they’re bringing bitterness and ridicule on the image of the Royal Family.

What we should have is a thorough public audit of all the costs and finances of the monarchy, since we seem to fund the royals and how they spend our money should be our concern because the true value of them is that they’re a pricey crapulence from the past.

  

 

 

Boris Johnson Suddenly Realises He Can’t Trust His Friend Donald Trump

borisjohnson071219c.jpg

Donald Trump is in town and Boris Johnson is doing about everything he can to dodge being seen with his guest but usually, Prime Ministers embrace the opportunity to be photographed beside the US President as a method of polishing their credentials as a world statesman or woman.

R1334_FEA_Trump_Evangelicals_RGB.jpg

Boris Johnson isn’t even holding a one to one meeting with Donald Trump, who flew in for the NATO summit, for concern the association will play badly with voters and the Conservatives are also worried the unpredictable American leader will use an interview or one of his Twitter harangues to either attack Jeremy Corbyn, which would be seen as a badge of honour for the Labour leader, or fuel the row about US firms eyeing up the NHS.

But if the Tories are so afraid of the President’s behaviour it hardly permeates you with confidence in their capacity to achieve a post-Brexit trade deal with the US and if he can’t be trusted to keep silent for two days how can he be trusted to act in our interests on a more substantive matter?

skynews-jeremy-corbyn-royal-family_4853181.jpg

Jeremy Corbyn is naturally attempting to utilise the visit to his maximum advantage and has been goading Donald Trump by writing to him directly to demand the NHS is kept off the table in any post-Brexit deal but will the toddler in chief be able to resist hitting back?

This will be the week when the main political parties start to panic because the Conservatives will be worried their lead is going to be whittled away and Labour is worried the surge has come too late and if we’re to believe the polls, then the pressure has already started to happen.

A Tory lead of double figures is now down to between seven to nine points and if Labour can continue to coax Lib Dem voters to vote tactically and its previous voters to come back to the fold then we could be in hung parliament territory.

Many have said it feels a lot like 1992 when they believed they would ultimately end thirteen years of Tory rule only for John Major to snatch victory.

The mood on the ground is far from optimistic with competitors and canvassers saying that Jeremy Corbyn remains the biggest obstacle to persuading people to vote Labour because they don’t like him and they don’t trust him but others were somewhat more positive, saying that former Labour voters were more inclined to sit on their hands than put Boris Johnson in No 10.

But there are groans the leadership is targeting resources at seats being contested by candidates loyal to Jeremy Corbyn rather than swing constituencies and eyebrows have been raised at the decision to field Rebecca Long-Baily and Richard Burgon, both allies of Jeremy Corbyn, in the seven-way television debates rather than more skilled players such as Emily Thornberry, Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner or Jonathan Ashworth.

Rebecca Long-Bailey did well but the decision to give her such a prominent stage has stoked speculation the Labour leadership is more occupied in succession planning than election-winning.

To be fair to Jeremy Corbyn there was a comparable feeling of melancholy in 2017 and the media, by and large, failed to pick up on his surge right up until polling day.

Labour has a good retail offer on the doorstep and a great campaign foundation, however, the Tories have fewer grassroots followers and a single offer to get Brexit done, that’s insidious and limited in its popularity and it would be ironic if Boris Johnson, who came to power by pledging to be the antidote to Theresa May’s caution, came unstuck because he ran a safety-first and uninspired campaign.

But Boris Johnson runs scared of everything he believes might make him look corrupt and Boris Johnson seems to be lying to everyone as so does Donald Trump and these savages must be seen off out of public office because they’re not fit to lead anyone and yet they’re both leaders, how did this happen?

Boris Johnson is just a grade-A jelly roll and a serial liar who will do anything to get and keep himself in power, not because he has any special ability for anything other than seeking his self-promotion and because he believes he has the God-given right to rule, even though he’s as dense as mincemeat and twice as fatty and Russian money dominates him.

And now suddenly we appear to need America, why, they’ve managed to drag us into wars which we had no grounds to join but it’s hilarious, this government can finance those wars but can’t stop Food banks, homelessness and services have been cut and we’ve never actually needed America before but they seem to get us involved when it accommodates them.

And anyone who trusts Donald Trump is a nincompoop and suffers from incurable madness but then the same goes for Boris Johnson and now Donald Trump is saying he wouldn’t touch our NHS with a bargepole and he further said that he wanted to stay out of the UK election during his appointment to the United Kingdom.

But then Donald Trump wouldn’t want a socialised NHS because it’s not profitable but then he would love to get the green light to de-socialise our NHS so that he could make it profit-making and to make it a lean, mean money-making machine.

And how do we know if the process isn’t already on its way and that Boris Johnson hasn’t asked Donald Trump to dismiss it before the election? And Brexit will destroy our country because it’s only for the people who are already rich.

 

Tony Blair Says Vote Tactically

0_Brexit.jpg

Tony Blair has branded the Tory plan to deliver Brexit a daydream and said he wouldn’t trust Boris Johnson with a blank cheque and the former prime minister is to deliver a speech and is expected to describe the plight of British politics as completely dysfunctional.

Tony Blair, will say that the voters should look at this election seat by seat, defining the General Election as 650 mini elections and he’s expected to say that the Conservative Party say vote Tory and Brexit will be done, it will be over.

They’ll even add, do it and then we can get back to dealing with the important issues, so obviously they don’t believe that Brexit is that important.

And what a cheek they have and in some ways it’s breath-taking, having visited this catastrophe upon us, which has diverted us from those important issues over three years, they’re now using that diversion as a reason for doing Brexit, not for abandoning it.

And even though Brexit is appealing for some but not for others, it doesn’t seem that Brexit is over, on the 12 December or at any other time, it’s simply a fantasy of being over and the Conservatives have calculated that they can force people to elect them, despite the apprehension over Brexit, because Jeremy Corbyn is the alternative.

The Labour Party leadership calculate they can combine traditional Labour support around issues like the NHS, with Remain voters who hate Brexit, despite fear about the Labour leader.

In other words, both parties want to win on the premise that whatever your hatred of what they’re offering, the alternative is worse and even though Brexit is a diversion, it’s also the essential determinant of the nation’s future.

Yet it remains the single most important decision since 1945 because of the impact it will have on our economy and how it’s done matters and a no-deal Brexit isn’t off the table and we are as a nation are slap bang in the middle of it.

When people hear the phrase no deal, they frequently think we just mean failure to agree, what it means is that we’re launching our economy off a cliff and hoping it finds a parachute on the way down.

0_General-Election-2019.jpg

And it’s a risk no rational leader would take, yet we may be about to allow a leader, Boris Johnson in taking such a gamble and it promises a revolution, and if achieved it would certainly amount to one but the problem with revolutions is never how they started but how they end.

But then why would we take advice from a warmongering car salesman? Because Tony Blair dirtied his reputation forever as a War Criminal and entered us into an illegal war which annihilated a million people, nearly destabilised the Middle East, left thousands of our forces dead, wounded or suffering from PTSD and also jumped ship when the economy was starting to disintegrate, so does his opinion really matter? But then psychotic disorders are severe mental disorders that cause abnormal thought and perception and who lose touch with reality.

But then people will vote for who they want to vote for without someone telling them who to vote for, especially Tony Blair.

And remember this is the same Tony Blair who began the war on the sick and disabled by hiring ATOS and don’t forget how these people have been treated.

Tony Blair should stay out of it, he’s had his time and should have had to answer for taking Britain to war with the Middle East over weapons of mass destruction, that didn’t exist and Tony Blair has no credibility whatsoever.

Boris Johnson Said UK’s Poorest Communities Are Made-Up Of ‘Chavs,’ ‘Burglars,’ ‘Drug Addicts,’ And ‘Losers’

boris-johnson-1211669.jpg

It’s been unearthed that Boris Johnson wrote that the poorest 20 per cent of British society is made up of chavs, losers, burglars, drug addicts and criminals in a newspaper column.

Boris Johnson, who was a Conservative MP and editor of the Spectator magazine at the time, wrote in the Telegraph in 2005 that the poorer voters who live in run-down estates only continued to vote for Labour due to the deluded hope of bigger handouts.

He added that this bottom one-fifth of British citizens furnish us with the chavs, the losers, the burglars, the drug addicts and the 70,000 people who are lost in our prisons and learning nothing except how to become more efficient offenders.

In an aside aimed at his political opponents, he said that some Labour MPs only wanted to ban the smacking of kids due to their disgust when they see a chav belting their children in supermarkets.

It further emerged that Boris Johnson had labelled the kids of single mothers ill raised, vulgar, threatening and illegitimate and accused their fathers of being too weak to take charge of their women.

But Boris Johnson’s remarks simply show that he has a hatred for working-class people across the United Kingdom and before becoming Prime Minister, Boris Johnson used the prerequisite of high profile newspaper columns to spread prejudiced abuse at Muslim women, black people, single mothers, working-class people and other groups.

And this history makes him ill-equipped to be Prime Minister, particularly at a time when our country is divided and urgently needs to come back together again.

Boris Johnson has also previously claimed that income inequality may be necessary due to the lower intelligence of some poorer people. Boris Johnson said that whatever we may think of the value of IQ tests, it’s surely relevant to a conversation about inequality that as many as 16 per cent of our species have an IQ below 85 while about 2 per cent have an IQ above 130.

Boris Johnson further argued that he didn’t think that economic equality is plausible because human beings are far from equal in raw ability.

Boris Johnson has been dogged for decades by criticism about his hateful remarks that he’s made about groups including Muslims, black people and gay people and a Business Insider previously revealed, in a 1998 Telegraph column about Peter Mandelson’s withdrawal from the Labour government, Boris Johnson said the announcement would lead to the blubbering of tank top bumboys in the Ministry of Sound nightclub, and the soft-lit Soho drinking clubs frequented by Mandy and his pals.

Lord-Mandelson.jpg

He further added that Mandelson’s departure would cause the lipstick to come away from Tony Blair’s government and in a separate Telegraph column, Boris Johnson further bewailed attempts to increase equality at the BBC for gay people.

It must be a spoof, he wrote.

“In my hand was a magazine from something called the BBC Resources Equal Opportunities Unit. There were letters from gays asking about their “partner’s” right to a BBC pension.”

51UsliueFIL._SR600,315_PIWhiteStrip,BottomLeft,0,35_PIStarRatingFIVE,BottomLeft,360,-6_SR600,315_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

In his 2001 book “Friends, Voters, Countrymen,” Johnson compared gay marriage to bestiality, writing that “if gay marriage was OK – and I was uncertain on the issue – then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men, or indeed three men and a dog.”

LBC-658x350.png

And when questioned about his record, Boris Johnson declined to apologise and told LBC that his earlier remarks had been taken out of context and were undeniable perversions of what he’d written.

And he told LBC’s Nick Ferrari that he needed to go back and look at the context and that so much of the stuff is disinterred to deflect from the basic issues of this election.

It’s this sort of biased discourse that makes Boris Johnson so attractive to numerous Tory voters because such people would see his flamboyant, dismissive and generalised description of people as telling it like it is.

And the whole tone of them insinuates that there’s always a spiffingly manageable solution to society’s more complicated problems and that Boris Johnson and his followers have it up their sleeves, provided it doesn’t require too much money and if you want simplicity in our public life, then fascism must be an attractive option.

I have always believed in fairness equity and honesty, but sadly Boris Johnson’s party is the embodiment of the opposite of all three.

But well done Boris, now he’s going to put the voters off and now I suspect we’ll get a hung parliament, silly clown Boris and watch this space, Labour will catch up in the polls before you know it, so be extremely afraid Tory rent boys.

And maybe instead of slating off the chavs as he so eloquently puts it, he should be doing something to make them more flush and not destitute but he won’t because Boris is just an Eton mess and there are loads of people that went to public school and had a vested background but they didn’t become a lying beaver, like Boris Johnson.

And I’m sure Boris Johnson has had many a bailout through his life from his father, trash a restaurant, just get a cheque from daddy, yet most people have to take it on the chin if stuff goes wrong or they mess up in their life.

Some people have marked learning difficulties and then everything in our complex society is more challenging for them to manage but easy peasy if your toff family provide a safety blanket financially but not so easy when you’re on zero-hour contracts and an unreliable number of hours a week.

Every country has vulnerable people but if that country looks after them, the crime rate goes down because they’re not pushed to desperation but then Boris Johnson doesn’t live in the real world and he unquestionably doesn’t understand the country he’s running because some of the best-hearted people in the country are what Boris Johnson calls the bottom of the barrel and it’s Boris Johnson who’s the low life with his dishonesty and betrayal which puts him right at the bottom of the barrel.

The Conservatives have made so many poorer and they intend to do even worse when Boris Johnson finally gifts the NHS to Donald Trump and only the top echelons of society produce extorters, liars, financial criminals, corrupt crooks, political perverts and exploiters, isn’t that right, Boris Johnson – Better class of thief, better class of crime!

But then this is representative of Boris Johnson, discrediting the poorest in society, but then again, the Tories have been doing this for over 200 years. The worst thing is, we’ve come to expect it from them and we know what Boris thinks about the blacks, gays and Muslims and working-class men, so what he thinks about the poorest comes as no shock.

And women, they’re just there for his pleasure and to be thrown aside when no longer needed, just like a pimp would do. You know what they say, Boris, if you’ve got nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all!

  

    

  

London Bridge Terror Attack Was Revenge Attack

londonbridge3-1.png

The terrorist who killed two people on London Bridge may have been acting in retaliation over the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

NINTCHDBPICT000005131160.jpg

Usman Khan, 28, who was shot to death by police for his terrorist attack, was previously sentenced of a conspiracy to blow up the London Stock Exchange in 2012.

He was known to security chiefs and investigations were initiated to unearth if he had any associates and it’s thought that he was one of 20,000 UK jihadi suspects known to police and MI5.

Colonel Richard Kemp, ex-COBRA security committee chief said that if he turned out to be an Islamic terrorist, then he was possibly motivated by Islamic State and that it was even possible his action was in revenge for al-Baghdadi’s death and that it was something ISIS had called for since the US Delta Force attack in Syria.

Al-Baghdadi died after blowing himself up with a suicide vest during a US raid of the Syrian camp he was being held at on October 26 this year and Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu verified that a man and a woman were stabbed in the attack which saw Khan, wearing a fake suicide vest, killed up to five people before being shot dead by armed police as hundreds of commuters retreated in fear.

The assault coincided with a similar disturbance in Holland which saw three children stabbed on a shopping street in The Hague but national broadcaster NOS said the assault couldn’t directly be attributed to terrorism.

Dutch police started a manhunt following the assault, which took place on a bustling shopping street near the city’s historic centre and the area was cordoned off and dozens of police and ambulances were on the scene.

And in Paris, the Gare Du Nord train station was temporarily evacuated after an alleged explosive device was discovered in an unattended bag and unsubstantiated images show the device, which resembled a mortar shell, inside an old duffel bag with some people suggesting the device was a dummy explosive used for training purposes.

Commissioner Basu also revealed that Khan, who was from Stoke-on-Trent, had a previous terrorism conviction and had been imprisoned for eight years in 2012 but he was discharged on licence in December 2018 and was still wearing a monitoring tag at the time of the assault.

Anti-terror police stormed a house in the Staffordshire region connected to the killer.

Khan had been attending a seminar in Fishmongers Hall run by Cambridge University’s Criminology Department to help offenders reintegrate into society following their discharge from prison.

Khan had threatened to blow up the building at the commencement of his five-minute rampage which ended in his death on London Bridge and climactic video footage showed him being tackled to the ground by at least six members of the public.

One man pursued the criminal with a fire extinguisher while another used a Narwhal whale tusk to restrain him.

Khan had previously been arrested on December 20, 2010, four days before he and his nine-strong Al-Queda-inspired gang planned to plant a bomb in the toilets of the London Stock Exchange.

He was a member of a nine-strong Al Queda-inspired gang planning to blow up the London Stock Exchange and following the arrest of Khan’s gang, police found a handwritten list of victims which included the US Embassy and the homes of then London Mayor Boris Johnson, the Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral and two rabbis.

The gang also carried out surveillance of other potential targets including Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye.

The group planned to send five bombs in the post to London synagogues and the Church of Scientology headquarters, as well as spreading panic on Stoke on Trent by planting bombs in pubs and club toilets.

The attack came after the terror threat in the UK was reduced from severe to substantial and police were guarding the area over the weekend in case of a copycat attack and to reassure the public.

But all those convicted of past terrorist attacks need to be locked up for life, they’re too much of a risk to good, ordinary citizens going about their daily lives.

ISIS has since claimed the London Bridge terror attack was carried out by one of its fighters and the terrorist organisation said Usman Khan, 28, who killed two and wounded several more when he went on a knife rampage in central London, acted on their behalf.

The group, however, didn’t present any proof this was the case as it claimed its news agency and added that the assault was made in response to Islamic State calls to target countries that have been part of a coalition fighting the jihadist group.

What this story shows is both the greatness and risks of immigration and the danger of having people like Khan in our country, where they don’t have any wish to adapt or have any love for the culture of the nation they live in.

On the other hand, you have the Polish immigrant Lucasz, who seeing the attacker might be a suicide bomber was prepared to give his life to protect others in his new country.

NINTCHDBPICT000543952337-1.jpg

The brave man who fought off the knife-wielding terrorist with a 5ft narwhal tusk is now being treated for stab wounds in hospital.

The hero, who is believed to be a polish chef by the name of Lukasz, courageously helped bring down convicted subversive Usman Khan with others on London Bridge.

Lukasz, who works in the kitchen at Fishmongers Hall where Khan’s assault began, is believed to be in the hospital where he’s recuperating from stab wounds.

A work-mate said that staff have been urged not to say too much, but that he had his number and he’s still in the hospital.

NINTCHDBPICT000543973417.jpg

Friday’s heroes were Cambridge graduate Jack Merritt, a 25-year-old course coordinator who was the first victim to be identified after grieving father paid tribute to his son as a beautiful spirit.

Three people, one man and two women, were rushed to hospital on Friday night, one was in critical condition, one was stable and a third had less severe injuries and an NHS Chief Executive said that one patient who was in critical condition has improved and the status of the other two was the same.

It came after a woman, who didn’t give her name, said a woman in her 20s had slash wounds on her arms and stomach and a man had to be put in an induced coma.

Lukasz was one of the many onlookers who endangered their lives to bring down the London Bridge terrorist. Another hero was a kitchen porter named only as Mohammed who is said to have tackled Khan on his lunch break before going back to wash dishes.

Two other men who helped to catch the attacker were courageous tour guides Thomas Gray, 24, and Stevie Hurst who jumped out of their vehicle to help.

Prisoner James Ford, 42, helped take down Khan while he was on day release. James Ford murdered a 21-year-old disabled girl back in 2004 and was at an event about rehabilitating criminals when he stepped in.

A British Transport police officer in plain clothes bravely picked up one of the knives from the floor and moved it away from the aggressor.

Khan, who was from Staffordshire, was released from prison last December and police said he was known to the authorities after he was convicted in 2012 for terror attacks and was forbidden from entering London but succeeded in getting a one-day exemption to attend an ex-convict event.

The killer deceived police by travelling to the prisoner rehabilitation conference at Fishmongers Hall where he began his horror rampage and one academic who was there stated that Khan suddenly just flipped.

It was reported that Khan was given special dispensation to attend the Cambridge University run event. The heartless criminal attended the morning session before returning after lunch to begin his rampage furnished with two knives and a fake explosive vest.

Khan is the first freed terrorist to launch an assault in this country and the Parole Board said in a statement that they had no involvement in Khan’s release.

 

 

 

My Son Had To Do A Poo In A Bush

treorchy.jpg

A pupil had to poop in his school’s grounds because the toilets are locked during class time.

JS71699929.jpg

The 12-year-old Treorchy Comprehensive pupil, who had a bad tummy, had no alternative but to cower behind a school block when he had to relieve himself in an emergency – Treorchy Comprehensive verified that the toilets are locked during lessons.

Students at the school must ask a teacher for permission to go to the receptionist to get a key if they require the toilet during lessons and the boys parents said that their son, who’s in year eight, was given permission to go to the toilet by his teacher in a classroom five minutes walk from reception.

0_Public-convenience-signs.jpg

But when the receptionist declined to give the boy a toilet key he was caught short, although he did make his way back to his teacher to tell his teacher but could wait no longer and had to squat down to poop behind a bush near a block outside.

The unfortunate boy had diarrhoea and didn’t want it to run down his leg so he simply had to find a quiet area outside and this is just negligence by the school.

The boy told his mother what had occurred later that evening, although he wasn’t unwell when he went to school but had a belly ache after lunch and said it was quite intense and he just told his mother he had to poo outside.

This is a health and safety concern because the poor boy couldn’t even clean or wash his hands and it’s negligent to not have unrestricted use of the toilets and they shouldn’t be permitted to just close off the toilets like this.

And now this boy is anxious about not being able to go to the toilet in school when he needs to and he’s also concerned because he feels he did something wrong and the boy’s parents don’t want their son named or for them to be named in case that identifies him and they did complain to the deputy headteacher following the incident.

But they were told that students have to get a key to circumvent trouble making in the toilets and kids skipping class professing they need to go and a spokeswoman for the 1,644 pupil school said that the toilet policy would be examined in light of the concern raised by the boy’s parents.

There are nine sets of toilets placed across the school site and most of these are locked during lesson times to ensure all pupils have access to the highest standards of toilet amenities when they want to use them, upon request, although that’s no good when you have some receptionist refusing to give out the key upon request from the teacher and it does make you wonder who’s in charge of the school.

No school should ever refuse a desperate child the toilet and I feel sorry for the boy who was reduced to such an embarrassing situation and an electronic lock type system would be simple and cost-effective to fit, then all teachers could have an access card solely for the toilet to give out as and when needed.

Personally, if I went to work somewhere and was told the toilet was key access only and that key was kept by reception and managed by someone else, that would be my interest in that job gone because if you need to go to the toilet you need to go and that’s that.

There’s supposedly been some manner of significant dilemma that has transpired in this school before and they’ve had to resort to this sort of action and it would be good to know what those reasons were for this radical move to be taken where children are not permitted to visit the toilets as they please.

Does the pope crap in the woods, no but the pupils from Treorchy Comprehensive do!

 

Jobless Somali Refugee Family Who have Not Worked Since Arriving In The UK in 2008

A family of Somali refugees have sparked a row over council housing when they were given a £2 million taxpayer-funded mansion have been moved out, into a £1.3 million semi around the corner.

Jobless Saeed Khaliif and his wife Sayida and their family prompted an uproar in 2011 when they moved into one of the most costly properties ever to be financed by housing benefit but it has now surfaced that the family have now left the six-bedroom property in West Hampstead, north-west London, due to variations in the welfare system.

However, campaigners have been left additionally outraged after they were given a home worth £3,000 a month in rent in an up and coming area of the metropolis and it’s understood that Mr Khaliif hasn’t worked since he appeared in Britain in 2008.

The family were originally housed in a £1,000 a month property in Coventry, West Midlands but they created outrage when they decided they would sooner live in London and were given the keys to the huge house not far from the homes of pop star Boy George and movie director Ridley Scott.

Their case was one of a number which revealed just how much was being paid out for housing benefit and provoked the government to cap benefits at £500 a week for couples with children.

And after the limit was imposed, Camden council moved the couple and their reported eight children into a new home in up and coming Cricklewood, where the neighbours said the house sustained notable restoration before the family were moved in.

The council had given them a house of extravagance and spent thousands restoring it before they moved in and where it was restored to a particularly high standard with open plan design, high spec kitchen and slate patio.

They don’t open the door to council workers and it’s not right that some people are given so much for free when others are struggling.

The council own the property and is said to keep rents inside the benefit cap, while comparable homes in nearby streets command amounts of up to £3,000 a month.

The welfare system is meant to be a safety net for those who are struggling, not a comfort blanket and hard-pressed families struggling with their bills will be enraged at such an exorbitant amount being spent on housing a single-family in one of the most costly areas in London.

It’s understood the couple are entitled to such a huge home because two of their children have disabilities and Camden Council uses council housing to help families who can prove they need assistance finding a genuinely affordable home and for many their tenants require help because they have special high-level support need like illness or disability.

And usually, the support needs of tenants are neglected in discussions about social housing and also, London’s economy depends on having access to a wide base of labour from the highly experienced and professional to more commonly lower qualified and lower paid.

And that the provision of affordable housing is crucial to meeting this Labour demand in addition to the responsibilities helping vulnerable families suffering illness and disability.

carswell-getty.jpg

But Douglas Carswell, the UKIP MP for Clacton, attacked the Government and stated they were mad in allowing Mr Khaliif to be subsidised so heavily.

This Somalian individual and his family are getting all this money but then some have been paying into the system all their lives and also have children with special needs but can’t get a penny in support. 

 At the house, no one from the family was prepared to comment, yet we have a world of freeloaders that are welcomed to the United Kingdom to succeeding Governments and EU open doors with more immigrants, no wonder the lady is grinning so broadly, laughing at us to the bank.

So, it’s true the streets of London are paved in gold and it’s no surprise that there are 1,000’s waiting across the channel to get into Britain don’t want to claim asylum anywhere else in Europe.

Paris Bus Driver Hailed A Hero

parisbus-0.jpg

A French driver has been celebrated for booting every single passenger off his bus after they failed to make room for a gentleman in a wheelchair.

DqC39K2XQAAtLvw.jpeg

Francois Le Berre, who has multiple sclerosis, was waiting to get on a bus in a Paris neighbourhood, but none of the passengers would move to grant him space.

The bus driver, who hasn’t been identified, saw the problem and took the unusual action of asking every single passenger to vacate the bus. He then allowed Francois Le Berre to come on board and drove off with him as the sole passenger.

A tweet reporting the incident was shared by a group called ‘Accessible Pour Tous’, which translates as ‘accessible for all’ on behalf of Francois Le Berre.

Nobody wanted to move and because no one was moving the driver stood up and said “Terminating! Everybody off!” and he made them get off and wait for the next bus and it’s been shared more than 5,000 times and liked by more than 10,000 people, with many congratulating the bus driver and reprimanding the passengers who failed to move.

“Bravo to the bus driver, but shame on the passengers,” wrote one person. But another responded: “You wouldn’t have moved either.”

Buses in the French metropolis usually have one or two spaces for a wheelchair and passengers are supposed to give priority to them and enable users to get on but most people believe that it’s not their problem and they’re simply out for themselves.

Sadly, people in wheelchairs are just transparent to other people that are not disabled and most people that aren’t disabled just will not move for a disabled person and we should be praising this bus driver, I would have also have booted them off in a heartbeat if they refused anyone disabled, elderly, pregnant or perhaps someone with children because these people are just narrow-minded human beings that only think of themselves and this bus driver was a real gentleman.

Although I’m not sure how all the passengers were causing problems aside from the person that was in the disabled space and how could have their removal helped? And I guess it was a tad unfair on all the passengers that were sitting on regular seats, it’s not like the wheelchair user could have used those seats.

By all means, boot off those using the priority seats but it could be classified as a huge overreaction to kick off all the other paying customers but still well done to the man because I’m disabled and have had to face the London Underground in my wheelchair and everyone was especially accommodating and Londoners are clearly much more helpful than Parisians.

Saying this, the service was terminated and was presumably the quickest way for everyone, then the able-bodied could promptly jump on the next bus because drivers often get vilified if they attempt to police individual or small groups of passengers and usually have to wait for reinforcements.

And perhaps next time the other passengers are sitting, no doubt staring out of the windows or at their phones to circumvent the issue could help and ask other passengers to move because presumably any of the passengers could have got up to help make room, even if they were sitting down.

I guess the moral of the story is, that if one person won’t move, they all have to!

Boris Johnson’s 50,000 New Nurses Claim

p07wcsjn.jpg

Boris Johnson’s promise of 50,000 new nurses for the NHS includes 18,500 current NHS nurses. That was the headline policy from the Tory manifesto that was launched in Telford.

But it fell apart inside hours of being announced, as the party was made to confirm the figure included thousands of nurses already employed in the health service and Labour has branded the claim ‘deceitful’.

The party also announced the restoration of maintenance grants, worth £5,000 and £8,000 a year for student nurses but there was no mention in the manifesto of help to pay for tuition fees.

Tory officials said the 50,000 figure would be made up of 14,000 new undergraduate student nurses and 5,000-degree apprenticeships. They will be supplemented by 12,500 nurses brought to the United Kingdom from abroad, making 31,000 new nurses.

The other 18,500, the party say, will be nurses who are employed in the health service who would have otherwise left and they said they had strategies to keep nurses in the field including professional training, support and more childcare for returning mums.

But then that means that at least 40 per cent of the promised 50,000 nurses are already NHS nurses and that the Conservatives claim on nurses is honestly dishonest and the sums just don’t add up.

First, we had Boris Johnson’s fraudulent 40 new hospitals and now, we have his bogus 50,000 additional nurses.

matt_hancock_new_picture_kglcab.jpg

Matt Hancock and Tory ministers pushed through the abolition of the bursary partly causing the nursing dilemma tormenting our NHS today and the new damaging Tory nurses tax on European nurses will make it impossible to deliver the nurses the NHS needs.

Labour is now saying they will deliver over 50,000 new nurses through bringing back the bursary and allowing ethical international recruitment.

The announcement marked an embarrassing climbdown for the Conservatives, who reversed their ruinous policy of scrapping students nurses bursaries, which was launched in 2016.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock stated the policy was already about generating new training places for student nurses but figures reveal that 1 in 20 student nursing places, some 1,450 in total, went unfilled in 2019.

Between the policy being implemented in June 2016 and February this year nursing degree applications in England dropped by 13,000, with 40,000 vacancies remaining unfilled, the nurses union announced the fall in student numbers had put patient safety at risk.

RCN-Sign.jpg

And the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said the promise of maintenance grants for student nurses didn’t amount to a return of the student nurses bursary and the current double calamity of both tuition fees and living costs for a nursing degree are a hindrance to many wanting to seek a nursing profession, so they require extra funding for both factors, not just living costs as the Conservative manifesto suggests.

Forcing would-be nurses to pay tuition fees has demonstrably failed in the last two years and with this announcement, Boris Johnson hasn’t brought back the bursary, he’s promising to return one component of the package but wants to keep the high-priced tuition fees in place and figures now confirm the amount of adult nursing student applications from people over 25 in England has seen an even greater deterioration, declining by 41 per cent since the bursary was removed.

And I don’t know how many wheels are on the Tory campaign bus but they’re falling off at a startling rate with Boris Johnson being exposed as a liar about new hospitals by his own Health Secretary at the launch of the manifesto leaflet and then a car crash interview with Nicky Morgan exposing more lies about the number of new nurses.

Do they believe that voters are that dense that they can’t do the math? All you have to do is unpick a little bit of the truth in some of these pledges and is Boris Johnson going to do anything for your children, for your family, other than lying to them? And if he can’t be bothered with his children, how bothered is he going to be about yours? That’s if he even knows who his children are.

And it’s entertaining that there are masses of people out there that believe a Prime Minister who lied to the Queen not so long ago, that would have been a resignation matter and the Prime Minister would have been compelled to resign but we now know what this sleazebag riddled Prime Minister is like.

We were also promised 200,000 starter homes by the government a full five years ago but they were never built, so now we know what the Tory promise is worth and if people believe their rubbish then they’re deluded.

The Tories have already pocketed all the money in offshore accounts and the Tories have already managed to ruin this country and people should open their eyes.

We print our own money, therefore the country can’t go bankrupt, not that it’s worth the paper it’s printed on because money is just an IOU and banks are rolling in it.

henry-ford.jpg

And back in the 1930s, Henry Ford was thought to have said that it was a good thing that most Americans didn’t know how banking worked because if they did, there’d be a revolution.

street-in-city-of-london-with-royal-exchange--bank-of-england-and-new-modern-skyscrapers--england--uk-923317900-cc8daffff0da44d38a6aacd70b8204cf.jpg

Then something extraordinary happened, the Bank of England let the cat out of the bag and they said outright that the most common premise of how banking works was totally incorrect and that the kind of populist, heretical beliefs more frequently associated with groups such as Occupy Wall Street was correct and in doing so, they completely threw the whole theoretical basis for austerity out of the window.

To get a taste of how extreme the Bank’s new position is, you have to consider the more conventional view, which continues to be the basis of all respectable debate on public policy.

People put their money into banks, banks then lend that money out at interest, either to consumers or to business people willing to invest it in some profitable venture.

It’s true, the fractional reserve system doesn’t permit banks to lend out considerably more than they hold in reserve and if the savings don’t suffice, private banks can attempt to borrow more from the central bank.

The central bank can print as much money as it wants but it’s also mindful not to print too much. That’s why we’re usually told this is why independent central banks exist in the first place.

And if governments could print money themselves, they would put out too much of it and the resulting increase would force the economy into turmoil.

Institutions such as the Bank of England or US Federal Reserve were designed to carefully control the money supply to stop inflation, that’s why they’re prohibited to directly finance the government, say, by purchasing treasury bonds, but instead, fund private economic activity that the government simply taxes.

It’s this understanding that enables us to continue to talk about money as if it were a limited resource like bauxite or petroleum, to say that there’s not enough money to finance social programmes, to speak of the depravity of government debt or public spending, crowding out the private sector.

What the Bank of England admitted is that none of it is true. To quote from its initial summary: “Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then lending them out, bank lending creates deposits” … “In normal times, the central bank does not fix the amount of money in circulation, nor is central bank money ‘multiplied up’ into more loans and deposits.”

In other words, everything we know isn’t just wrong, it’s backwards and when banks make loans, they generate money. This is because money is just an IOU.

The function of the central bank is to preside over a legal order that effectively gives banks the sole right to create IOUs of a particular kind, ones that the government will recognise as legal tender by its readiness to accept them in payment of taxes.

There’s no limit on how much banks can create, provided they can find someone willing to borrow it, so they’ll never get caught short, for the simple reason that borrowers don’t, generally speaking, take the money and put it under their mattress, so ultimately, any money banks loan out will simply end up back in some bank again.

So, for the banking system as a whole, every loan simply becomes another deposit. 

What’s more, insofar as banks do need to obtain funds from the central bank, they can borrow as much as they like and all the latter doesn’t set the rate of interest, the cost of money or its quantity and since the start of the recession, the US and British central banks have decreased that cost to virtually nothing.

In fact, with quantitive easing, they’ve been expertly tapping as much money as they can into the banks, without producing any inflationary effects. So, what this means is that the real limit on the amount of money in circulation isn’t how much the central bank is prepared to lend, but how much government, firms and ordinary citizens, are prepared to borrow.

Government spending is the principal operator in all this but nobody will admit it, particularly the newspapers that the central bank doesn’t finance the government, so, there’s no question of public spending crowding out private investment, it’s precisely the reverse.

So, why did the Bank of England suddenly admit all this? Well, one reason is that it’s true.

The Bank’s job is to run the system, yet the system hasn’t been working particularly well and maintaining the fantasy-land version of economics that’s proved so accessible to the wealthy is simply an extravagance it can no longer afford.

But politically, this is taking a huge risk and just consider what might happen if mortgage holders realised the money the bank lends them is not, really, the life savings of some frugal pensioner, but something the bank simply flitted into existence through its possession of a magic wand which we, the people, handed over to it.

Historically, the Bank of England has tended to be the leading sheep of a flock, with a bell on its neck, staking out seemingly radical positions that eventually become new beliefs and if that’s what’s happening here, we might someday be in a position to determine if Henry Ford was right.

corbyn_neil-1400x788.jpg

Boris Johnson doesn’t do what he says he will do but then will Jeremy Corbyn do what he says he will do, or at least try and is what Jeremy Corbyn wants to do worth doing?

Perhaps their both committed to doing what they say they will do but that doesn’t mean it will happen and how can they solve the problems that they created and perhaps it’s time for actual change because the people of the United Kingdom have been in a coma for years.

It’s lies, lies and more lies and we as a nation need to wake up because there have been far too many U-turns from Boris Johnson and it’s a disgrace.

The great Tory swindle, have you been caught?
