 And today we get a howler from Gordon Buffoon our Economy is growing and we are no-where near a recession obviously on Planet New Labour everything is rosy,But on planet reality we have high inflation 3% above the government target a stagnant housing market,builders being laid off prices for everything rising,And on planet new labour all they can say is we won't add 2p to your petrol,so what my gas bill has gone up 70% my electric 50% all the government does is blame everyone but themselves.New Labour have been in charge over 10 years and finally we see new labour for what it is Spin,Sleaze and Lies sound familiar?
&lt;/p&gt;

I want a politician who speaks the truth answers difficult questions and lives in the real world,the real world of house repossessions,having to cut back,not being able to go on holiday,worry about how the hell you can manage on a below inflation wage increase and wonder how you can afford to live.New Labour are just conservatives with a small c,the conservatives are well tories,The liberal democrats are just well lightweight,The British Nazi Party is on the rise they may hide behind words but a Nazi is a Nazi,and most of the other parties are well just never going to get power.&lt;br&gt;
so we are all stuffed whichever way you look at it labour sound good but beneath it all lies spin and figures that say whatever you want them too,crime is down really 18 teenagers in London would disagree and their families and friends,and the prisons are full to bursting?i'm confused ?if crime was down wouldn't the prisons be emptying?Education better than it's ever been,but schools are being closed and colleges and universities put on extra maths and english classes in a bid to help new students ,again i'm confused?Haven't they just passed their GCSE's?&lt;br&gt;
The Government puts millions into new IT projects all over budget and some years over running and won't tell us how late and over budget or even how much they will cost.The economy in meltdown,Iraq and Afghanistan slowing down,something must change soon we don't need new labour we need real labour
&lt;/p&gt;

Bush is going to the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony,So on the one hand a country ran by people murdering and intimidating parts of its population is Bad,Zimbabwe.The Next It's OK,Tibet,what a hypocracy.Wrong is Wrong no matter who does that wrong,Big fish or Small fry.Personally whoever takes part in the Olympics is totally morally bankrupt,and should hang their heads in shame.&lt;br&gt;
So the U.K Government have okayed £4 Billion for two Aircraft Carriers named OIL PROTECTION 1 and 2,lets face it thats what they are in reality a way of looking after our vested interests abroad with out the need to have a land base,Aircraft carriers will not stop Al Quada but they can bomb innocent civillians oh sorry collateral targets,innocent civillians a term that sounds too horrible.So Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan haven't enough Armoured land rovers have Rifles that Jam in Sandy Conditions,don't have enough helicopters although the MOD brought helicopters that can't fly and we are commisioning 2 aircraft carriers to be quite honest it makes totally stupid, dumb and idiotic New Labour sense&lt;br&gt;
Labour MP's vote themselves a 2.8% pay increase and feel very noble and self sacrificing and trumpet their achievement to the British people but hol on they still get massive allowances and £24,000 to furnish their SECOND home,Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper are married both New Labour Memembers of the cabinet got £48,000,so OK thats the rules as made up by MP's themselves and they voted against independent scrutiny even the home secretary voted against this,now i know it would be like Turkeys voting for Christmas.But me and my family are struggling to survive and MP's just have their heads so deep in the trough they can't see normal people struggling just to stay afloat.This year I've stopped our family holiday to Spain so a travel company will lose out on £1,500 approx plus the £300 add on charges,We were going to buy a new car Ford have lost out on £9,000 HOORAY I HEAR YOU ALL SHOUT but wait a minute but not only am I not going on holiday in Spain i'm just not going on holiday at all so Butlins or a B&amp;B won't get my money either and environmentalists will cheer as i won't use the Plane but the local businesses i use will lose money.The car i was going to buy is more environmentally friendly,oh well if i don't have the spare money thats the way it is.&lt;br&gt;
But now I shop At Aldi,Netto and Lidl so not only aren't I spending as much i'm spending my money in non-Britsh businesses that can only impact on the British Economy,To be quite honest at the moment anywhere apart from Darfur,Zimbabwe,Burma,Iraq,Afghanistan,Tibet,N.Korea is better than here,This Labour Government is destroying this country bit by little bit.
&lt;/p&gt;

Is it a really fancy talking shop of vested interests and politics,or is it a place where the worlds wrongs are righted,I suspect as soon as politicians get involved the only thing they can do right is the seating plan,you don't need central heating either with all the hot air expelled in the building.The only thing uniting the delgates is there salary and expence accounts!

And anyway i've heard enough about how technically gifted Italian players are blah,blah,blah the truth is it is the most corrupt league in the world perhaps worse than S.America,They paid off referees threw matches,fixed matches and one of the main culprits gets docked 10 points after being found Guilty BUT GETS THEM BACK ON APPEAL,i'm glad Italy lost they deserve nothing ,as their sham of a league is fixed anyway.They are like France passed it! how they won the world cup was a disgrace they fouled Australia off the pitch but as usual the referees seemed blind it was all the dollar signs they were seeing in front of them.Italy are not technical they bully and play negative tactics they are more like Greece than Germany,Luca Toni is a one trick pony,the only players of worth are Buffon and Gattuso,the goalie and a defender that says eerything their goal keeper was their man of the tournament.The strikers are a joke and the midfield huffs and puffs but gets nowhere.&lt;br&gt;
Zimbabwe has a new leader,Intimidation and murder,the sham election went ahead,where there any italian referees over seeing this election?Only one candidate and guess what Mugabe won and replaced mugabe as president what has the world done,got very,very upset while doing very little.Even nelson Mandela said their was a failure of leadership,no Nelson murder and intimidation would have been nearer the truth,but lets face it when poor black people die,actions never seem to win over words that lead nowhere.Zimbabwe the Bread basket of Africa can't even feed it's own people.He got rid of the Zimbabwean farmers by murder and intimidation and didn't replace them with farmers he put ex-soldiers in their place,so where once you had wheat fields,wheat is at it's highest price at the moment and Zimbabwe would have made so much money that no one would be starving and inflation would be under control,you have burnt out farm building fields covered in weeds but the shack the ex-soldier and his family live in is very nice but they are starving.Mugabes regime only saw the short term picture,if they would have used the S.African model of reconcilliation non of these problems would of occured.&lt;br&gt;
What will happen to Mugabe is he will see out his term and retire to switzerland with the millions he has buried there over the years.But in reality he should be arrested along with his generals and taken to the Hague and all his money should feed HIS people.But the U.N. is just a talking shop,Darfur has been going on for years,what has really happened,nothing apart from feeding the victims.&lt;br&gt;
In Burma the government killed Monks and has imprisoned the opposition leader against it's own laws,what happened,nothing.China still trying to irradicate Tibetan Culture by violence and a mass settlement programme by Chosen Chinese Peasants,what happens,nothing.Russia has a sham election lets face it Putin's candidate had any realistic chance of winning,the world is silent.Any team that go to the Beijing games are morally bankrupt,I won't be watching it as i would be morally wrong to watch these fun and games whilst people are being shot,imprisoned and tortured in Tibet.Zimbabwe has no head of state Mugabe is just a dictator and as such i do not recognise him as a leader of anything he is a puppet controlled by which ever general pulls the strings,Tesco buy Zimbabwean produce while it's people starve ,shame on you!You see in this world we have a new god,Money and Profit,if it means people die,who cares?

And you know the crazy thing ?the British Army brought new helicopters 5 years ago and because of problems cannot fly.I don't blame soldiers I blame the government that says it cares but really doesn't.Like the Nimrod that crashed killing it's crew,it has been found to have a fatal flaw,is it grounded,no,because we can't afford to buy new aircraft.But not only this New Labour harp on about how good they are,they forget that not everyone is stupid.The make you need to invent a new word for sleaze,Firstly we had the cash for ermine scandal,were people could buy peerages,There was an ivestigation,whitewash more like.A Cabinet ministers husband was being investigated for corruption in Italy she kicked him out,In sickness and in health,for richer for poorer i thought marriage vows were important,not if you think it will impact  your political career.The records of 25 million child benefit claimants lost,Top secret documents left on a train as was a report on organized crime and Al Quada fund raising.Lap tops with sensitive information left in places they can be stolen and aren't even encrypted,these are all basic stupid mistakes.The overnment hasn't realised that all they do is sound good and at last everyone has found out New Labour is as morally bankrupt as the tories.I won't vote labour because all politicians live in a world of £130,000 plus expenses of around £100,000 and going to vote themselves a 21% pay rise,yes they are in politics for the good of the people,really,sounds good doesn't it.The only people with protected pay,pensions,great pay increases and two homes they can afford because we the tax payer pay the bill is MP's and politicians.They don't live in the real world of low wage rises rampant inflation and rising prices i don't have the luxury of expenses,Fistly Sky subscription goes,It's mainly rubbish anyway,Gorden Brown claims his Sky Subscription as an Expense.Then Our holiday goes another claimed expense by Mp's.Then we have to get a smaller car even though i have a large family,so by our standard of living going down our spending goes down and that will have a negative impact on our economy,you thought boom and bust was bad what about bust and busted
&lt;/p&gt;

The Government looked at green issues today any thing is better than looking at the economy.&lt;br&gt;
House prices slump pay rises low inflation high what will happen less money means spending less this can only have a disastrous effect on the whole economy,you if tomorrow everyone rode bikes and ditched the car road tax,petrol duty,speeding fines etc wiped out the Government would bring in the Green cycling licence,sounds environmental hooray and more importantly raises money.Also this year i won't be going on holiday buy a new car and i will economise,ok sounds very environmental great,but the holiday firm has just lost £1,500,the airport has lost £50 and a small town in Spain loses 1,000 euros,the car manufacturer loses £9,000.And I will cut my food bill by shopping at Netto,Lidl or Aldi's,Meaning a british company will lose £150 and a foreign company will earn £100 and i don't care how good M and S food looks, so i would usually shop in tescos,sainsburys or Morrisons all british now all my money will go to foreign companies.And that's just me what if 2 million people do the same?You see the government by giving below inflation wage increases will stifle the British economy and lead to many companies and businesses going under,so welcome back To Boom then Bust!&lt;br&gt;
And the less money we all spend the worse it will get bt lets face Gordon Brown doesn't shop in Netto he most probably thinks it's an italian method of catching fish!All the spin in the world ,and if he mentions 1997 again!!won't stop this dire economic crash,you can blame who you like Gordon The labour party have been in power over 10 years so whose fault is it really?Lets face it with the economic record so far this year i wouldn't lend the labour party a tenner!

For example crime is down,yet the Prisons are full to bursting and more people are being stabbed than i can ever remember.MRSA and C.diff in hospitals is down,all they do is cook the figures to look like it is.Education,Education,Education,not if you are poor.Standards are up,so how come Literacy and Numeracy lessons are put on in universities because students need help.All league tables do is make schools look good,they don't have to actually be good,just look good.All Labour is really is a shoddy government only concerned with their own appearance.But dig into their substance and there isn't a lot there.&lt;br&gt;
Take for instance the assets recovery Dept set up with such a fanfare it cost £60m to set up and got back £8m,The CSA was a shambles from the beginning and became a joke,Nhs finance in chaos,you see when hospitals get in trouble they lay off nurses to save money then wonder why all the nurses go to Australia.Iraq is basically chaotic,because the only places that are important are the oil fields and the Green Zone.Afghanistan is an unwinnable war in this generation,we tied it in the 1880's and failed the Russians tried it in the 1980's and failed,so why do we think we can win it?we go on about just wars what about Darfur,Zimbabwe,n.Korea,Burma and Tibet?are they not just as important?Not only that our troops are being killed by roadside bombs because we ask them to travel round in un-armoured snatch landrovers,The S.African army invented the perfect vehicle the Casper APC to negate the effects of mines and bombs so why do we allow our troops inadequate protection,Money i would imagine.The Government says it takes the security of our armed forces seriously then actually does the opposite,or do they just mis-speak?

In the UN Russia,China and Libya veto all hope of the UN actually doing anything in Zimbabwe,Russia China and Libya all have vested interests as sell Arms to the Mgabe regime so it wouldn't be a very econmical thing to do.I think all states that have a negative impact on a country should have their vote in the UN taken away on that one issue.But then again the UK and US govternments would be in a lot of trouble over Iraq and Aghanistan.You know the craziest thing in Afghanistan poppy fields are being burnt and farmers told to grow wheat instead.Yet in England there are fields of poppys for the drugs companies yet poppys grow better in Afghanistan and faster,so in Afghanistan poppies are bad in Oxfordshire or wherever poppies are good,it is very strange.&lt;br&gt;
You see it all boils down to one truth,trust politicians t sort anything out and they will f&lt;strong&gt;k it up everytime.Hundreds of people die in Zimbabwe they talk until shock we will stop them playing,Cricket,while Mgabe still kills and intimidates his country and will still hold a fake election that will wait for it,say he won it fair and square,after brutally suppressing all opposition.A like Darfur which has been going on for 6 years and has killed at least a million innocent lives and the only person who really gives a f&lt;/strong&gt;k is George fu***ng Clooney,don't get me wrong George Clooney is a great person because he makes crap films to pay for his good films and is very savvy,But he isn't The UN or NATO.For what he has done for Darfur he deserves a medal a bit shiny one,that says I give a shit in Latin on it.&lt;br&gt;
So the worst humanitarian disaster since rawanda is being kept in the news by an Actor/Director not A Government.Zimbabwe kills and intimidates Zimbabwean farmers to flee the country or die the fact they are white is meaningless,unless Mgabe is a racist which by the way  wouldn't surprise me.And were is the African Congress when all this happens eerily quiet,South Africa just allows Mgabe to do as he wishes,Nelson Mandela is quiet.Most African leaders turn a blind eye until they feel they have to say something.Mention taking real action and they are up in arms,because Africans killing Africans is OK,as long its our friends doing the killing,that attitude is sickening,one innocent life taken is too much. Africa is the richest continent in the world,so why is it the poorest?&lt;/p&gt;

A terrible dictator saddam,regime change.Those terrible Taliban,invade the country.Those awful Iranians,get the Israelis to bomb them very soon.Terrible murder and mayhem in Zimbabwe headed by a dictator and his Generals we won't let them play CRICKET!!!Thats got Mgabe really worried and not only that we'll let the UN talk some more,I think the world just wants to bore Mgabe to death.Lets call a spade a spade no one really cares,The UN,The EU people who could actually do SOMETHING um and ar and say how terrible it is for the poor Zimbabweans they don't want pity they want their country back but i will take another rawanda to get people to actually do anything of note.&lt;br&gt;
Now i know some of you out there actually like Cricket,but equating murder and intimidation with stopping Zimbabwe playing cricket is Bizarre,Why didn't we instead of invading Iraq stop their football team playing in the world cup?Could it be that incredibly expensive black stuff you have to drill out of the ground,or those very illusive weapons of mass deception,sorry destruction.Or was it all along regime change with the added lubricant  makeing it a profitable exercise for US/UK plc? How many Iranian Oil companies actally own Iraqi oil?Now i know a lot of people will say it wasn't about oil it was about a horrible dictator,So why is N.Korea still ran by a dictator?if everything is about getting rid of dictators how come it's only the one with Oil we got rid of,oh yes then theres that terrible dictator in Iran who just happens to have oil,would he be the next target by any chance?Lets face it there is a new God tied in with oil,it's called Money.Unfortunately Zimbabwes wealth has been wasted by mgabe and his backward racist polocies
&lt;/p&gt;

What does the UN do? has talks about talking about what they may do after the talks,yes the situation has been getting bad for months and only now do we have talks to find out what the talking may do in the way of things they have yet to talk about,sounds like another darfur and thats been going on for years the genocide plus the UN talking about it.In South Africa tarbo umbeki has started to realise he has to say something but like the UN it's only talk,and my one really sad thing is Nelson Mandela is eerily quiet,now i watched the live TV pictures as he was released and i had a party and i brought free Nelson Mandela by the specials and i even fund raised to help free him,i think next to malcolm x,marcus garvey,Martin Luther King Jr and muhammed ali he is a great man but he is a mgabe apoloist and as such must hang his head in shame.And it really hurts me to say that,but truth is truth,i would say that if Nelson Mandela said something against murdering mgabe even he might listen.&lt;br&gt;
I understand Zimbabwe was a British ran country and i know there were a lot of white farmers but after 4 or 5 generations there aren't white or black zimbabweans there are only zimbabweans.Zimbabwe was once the bread basket of Africa now it can't even feed it's own people.Mgabe got rid of all the white farmers the same way he's getting rid of the opposition,murder, intimidation that time it was pure racism this time it's because people voted against him,which is a democratic right in most countries.&lt;/p&gt;

              I watched an horizon Programme in 1995 that said Global warming would make Britain wetter and prone to weather damage and flooding .12 years ago we knew this could happen and it has.£20million was spent on flood defences for Cheltenham,that don't work.The poblem with Britain is incompetance and hypocracy from our own Government where no body is to blame for any thing except the tories and everything before 1997.Now people are blaming people block paving gardens for the flooding no it's called rain and it falls from the sky.No doubt the real problem was the tory policy of losing the election in 1997 which led to a rise in politicians hot air a led to global warming.Even now the Government has said it will build on flood plains how intelligent i think we are part of a genetic experiment to see how many generations it will take us to get webbed feet and start quacking.&lt;br&gt;
               still the calos tevez tranfer debacle continues how did West Scam united get away wity just a fine?Chelsea only won 1-0 against L.A. whatever pub team only 1-0 too many parties not enough training.Ljunberg to West Scam United at least Arsenal can sell him,he is passed his best but he'll do ok at the scammers

         A bit like going to war against Iraq because of the weapons of mass deception,when really it's all about oil,I know the spin says it isn't ,how many iraqi oil firms are in charge of Iraqi oil?I will tell you the major oil players in Iraq are from the U.S and europe look it up on the net it's true.So saddam hussein was killed because of Halabjah the gassing of kurds,he was killed because his regime killed a couple of hundred prisoners,don't get me wrong he was a twisted blood thirsty tyrant.But the U.S and Europe did nothing while he was fighting Iran they sold him arms .The gas that was used on Halabjah was made with German technology to an American gas 'recipe'perhaps when it was used against Iran it was ok.If all along regime change is exceptible how come Robert Mgabe is still allowed to kill and starve his people,no oil.N.Korea ,no oil.And the most shameful genocide in many years DarFur,this has claimed millions of lives and has been going on for years all the world does is watch the killing say how terrible it is and do nothing,oh yes no oil.All the U.S does is feed the victims after the rest of their family has been masacred.The only shining light is the Actor George Clooney who tirelessly won't let the world forget,he gives me faith that America and it's people do care and are not just inward looking all the time,to George and all the other darfur activists thank you.&lt;br&gt;
       Now to another passion of mine football and a pet hate.Diving called by FIFA 'Simulation',cheatings a word I would prefer.My team is Coventry City ,the pain is terrible to bear.I wantched the Copa America,Columbia was the worst team for diving I have ever seen the whole team just dived all game.In the championship i've seen great divers,Kamara for West Brummie Albion was really bad as was Chopra even nugent couldn't help himself but no way was bad As Drogba,J.Cole,ash.hole,terry and lampard i see a theme here.Even for England joe cole shamelessly dives and if you can't see it take those blue and rose tinted glasses off.Another season is upon us we have signed some good players only time will tell how good they are.It's a shame to see Henry go but things change perhaps chelski will stop simulating and play real football...Come on you Sky Blues...and good luck Sunderland i hope you survive in the premiership.Finally if the Premiership is the best league inthe world.Did an English club win the Champions League?When was the last time England won the world cup?and why when Arsene Wenger buys foreign players everyone says it's the end of football but the only club to buy consistently English players is Sunderland.Martin Jol after slating Wenger for buying foreign players does exactly that the truth is you buy the best players and i'm sorry to say the best players aren't always English,the best player I have seen this year so far apart from malouda is Benitez he plays for Ecuador and is a fantastic player ok messi is a great player but not consistent enough against tough opposition.I'm off now to buy my friendly tickets Espanyol,Udinese.we play well against tough opposition we beat celtic 3-1 and only lost to Boa Vista by one goal,i'm sure they will be good games.One more thing so it's ok for young politicians to smoke dope and get drunk,but when they get in power,it's wrong for everyone else to do it,it's called hypocracy brought to you by Blue Labour soon to be agreed upon by the red conservatives lets face it whats the difference between labour and the conservatives...nothing really they both.....lie...sorry spin

The poblem with our political parties are Labour sound like Conservatives,The Conservatives sound like Labour,The Liberal democrats aren't very liberal but seem to like democracy but all are funded by secret loans...oh sorry someone found out about how corrupt this is and they aren't secret anymore well only labour have admitted who gives them money.The Conservatives won't and the Liberals are suspiciously silent,the only people making a song and dance are the welsh and scottish who must be laughing with sides splitting.To be quite honest politicians and politics stink.As the founder of Capita resigns over the cash for honours row won't go away,Funny Capita give money to labour party then get a lot of high profile government contracts their is no conincidence is there?And tessa jowells husband gets caught lying alledgedly and taking a bribe that pays off a £300,000 mortgage off in weeks and nothing seems strange a person who at the first sign of trouble leaves her husband cannot be trusted in office just as marriage vows mean nothing how can promises to voters be trusted.We need new politicians a new party....call it the peoples party funded by donations by the people ,normal people not big business a party run by all the citizens of this country who all have a part because at the  moment all we have is sleaze and policies made on the hoof that sound great but actually deliver very little if anything.Labour are just like the Conservatives morally bankrupt they sound so alike they should merge and be called the labourtives or the conbour party a new motif would be the £ sign or the champagne glass.Because at the moment politicians have ther highest wage rises the best pensions they are also so morally bankrupt,will it ever change i doubt it.
