Emergency Budget Delivered By Chancellor George Osborne With Britain Braced For Tax Rises And Cuts

22/6/2010 2:32 AM BST

We are going to sink again my God. Another Thatcher era! This is a budget dream that always the far right politicians in this country always wished for. Who benefits ? Large corporations, Banks and the well offs. Not a single word in creating jobs. Is it called progressive Budget ? I can forecast a sharp increase in violence and crime in the following years.

Make no mistakes, the wild capitalists are using the world economical crisis as a excuse to rule their old and selective doctrine.  People do forget that thanks to those unemployed/sick people receiving benefits there are still some jobs available for those who are skilled and fit. What a foolish assumption to think there are jobs for all. I will work twice as I do now as my employer may think that one of those without benefits can work for less and have a better performance than me...

I am not an economist but some things are so obvious like this: Those on benefits help the economy to grow as they buy food, clothes, pay for services etc. Consequently they generate revenues to factories as the production increases and ultimately save jobs. Would you prefer people without jobs and benefits wondering on our streets ? That's a fact. Can you image you living with £59 per week ? Most people on benefit do. This Budget is worse than Thatcher era because although that government raised unemployment to a record 3 million people, they did not cut benefits from those affected. We have a recipe for a disaster. Shame on you Liberal Democrats for contributing with this anti-progressive policy.

We need children; our society is ageing and shrinking. We cannot end up like in Germany where despite enormous benefits to encourage people to have babies, the population is decreasing and fated to extinguish in a near future. They need immigrants to pump their economy. We are lucky to have a reasonable rate of birth and we should protect that in order to guarantee our own existence. They will be our soldiers, our doctors etc. For those money oriented mind, to have a child may be a burden, for others it is a natural course of life, a gift from God.
 
Weak up Britain !

How to classify an Europhobe

Many biased spurious arguments. Half truth and exaggeration. Xenophobia and fear. These are the main ingredients to make a real Europhobe. They are everywhere and at all costs try to get you on board. They do not enjoy the two main achievements from being part of the European Union. For the first time in history we enjoy more than 50 years of peace in Europe. We don't fight each other for market dominance, land or race. We live harmoniously. Secondly, the freedom of movement. We are free to go anywhere, live anywhere, work anywhere, trade anywhere. The Union makes the strength. I can classify the Europhes in 4 groups: They are: Group A (The Mentally raped) Those who are lead by the partial media which publishes inaccurate or exaggerated stories (Euromyths), most of which give the impression of absurd bureaucracy and over-regulation. Coupled with poor education, poor access to accurate and unbiased information, I call this group the "The mentally raped". They

Fidel Castro, uma missão cumprida.

Escapou de vários tentativas de assassinato pela CIA e enfrentou o embargo, a hostilidade americana por 50 anos. Tirano ou não, seu legado é inspirador: Numa ilha com solo pobre e sem recursos minerais, a revolução de Fidel logrou em trazer índices elevados de desenvolvimento humano e social. Alimentou os famintos, eliminou a desnutrição infantil e erradicou o analfabetismo. Fez de Cuba o país de menor mortalidade infantil nas Americas e onde a educação e saúde públicas são referências para o mundo. Fidel foi uma chama que brilhava, um constante aviso ao capitalismo voraz, um alerta mais ou menos assim: "Ou comecem a priorizar a necessidade do cidadão ao invés do capital, ou a revolução também baterá à sua porta". Indiretamente, a revolução cubana se propagou pelo mundo na forma de avanços para a causa de uma sociedade menos desigual.

The context of this social unrest in London

Decades of individualism, competition and state-encouraged selfishness – combined with a systematic crushing of unions and the ever-increasing criminalisation of dissent – have made Britain one of the most unequal countries in the developed world. Since the Tories came to power just over a year ago, we witnessed multiple student protests, occupations of many universities, several strikes, a half-a-million-strong trade union march and now unrest on the streets of the capital. Each of these events was sparked by a different cause, yet all take place against a backdrop of brutal cuts and enforced austerity measures. Tottenham has the fourth highest level of child poverty in London and an unemployment rate of 8.8%, double the national average, with one vacancy for every 54 seeking work in the borough. Finally, police are not omnipotent.  This situation has underlined very clearly that law and order is generally maintained by consent, not coercion.
