Conference season
The Chancellor of the Exchequer's BIG speech is likely to be something of an Oscar Award performance. For one thing he is likely to say that his "cuts" to the Civil Service have seen 80,000 jobs cut, but is it true? The simple answer is no. The object of the exercise was to "save" £22.5 billion, instead the Whitehall Whallahs have hired in "Consultants" to "advise" them on everything they are paid to know anyway, at a cost of £2.5 billion. Not a single job has gone from Whitehall, all the big departments have managed to hang on to every single post and acquired a few more. So the monster continues to grow - with enhanced powers and cost.
As he lines himself up to be the Illustrious Leader we should all begin to worry, not least because the economy is slowing down, the country is experiencing a rise in crime (despite the "adjusted" statistics) and the pensions "Black Hole" is getting worse. And who, as the adverts used to say, do we have to thank? Why none other than our very own Gordon, whose economic policies have seen government spending go through the roof, and his raids on pension funds, insurance premiums and every other "service" he thinks he can get away with have seen costs rising steadily. Now he announces he wants "more private home ownership" and "more individual share ownership". Funny that, because this is the man who not that long ago was proclaiming that we had to build more "social" housing!
More worrying though, is the evident confidence of this party of thieves, robbers and ideologues who should not be allowed out unaccompanied, that they are going to be in power for evermore! They have such overweening belief in their inevitable victory at any future polls that they are already handing out posts in a future Brown Government. Even more worrying is the fact that the Civil Service is now completely in the control of Labour Party appointees and ideologues. Even if they were voted out, the Civil Service Party is now in a posiion to frustrate any change of ideology, party agenda or parliamentary intent.
It seems we now live in a one party state, communist in its behaviour, and communist in its centralised control of everything. All we can really hope for is that the electorate will wake up before the next election and throw this shower out before they can entrench themselves any further!
