The gathering storm: Britain's faltering economy

12/08/2010

We have the face the reality. There is little hope. Exaggerated optimism is inadequate. We know quite well that after the so called "emergency budget" any chance of a sustained recovery was flushed away. You do not need to be a economist to realise that without jobs, investments and production, you cannot be optimistic. Cuts and cuts alone results in recession. I am afraid to say but the worst is still to come when 600000 jobs culling starts in the public sector. While the crisis deepens, the government begins to inflict a cynical revulsion on those receiving benefits. It is exactly when the most vulnerable families need it most is when this irresponsible government decides to implode it. No, for those in low income, those without jobs, the forecast cannot be better. The wealthy cannot feel if the inflation is 2% or 3% higher, however the less privileged ones will find it very hard to cope. Let's be frank, with or without debt issues, this government is doing what it always did when in power. Recession, mass unemployment, and above all, the appalling disregard towards the working class and poor families in this country. And yes, sadly many of us have a goldfish memory...

Moving Forward

More than 24 million people today are better aware of our chaotic financial system. It is time for you to learn how the system works. Predictable is the outcome, isn't it ? Mais de 24 milhões de pessoas hoje têm consciência do nosso sistema financeiro caótico. O atual modelo de capitalismo é asfixiante, autodestrutivo e principalmente injusto. O sistema só se mantém vivo enquanto houver recursos naturais do planeta para consumir até a exaustão. O documentário expõe com muita clareza o que nos aguarda.

David Cameron Arrives In Afghanistan For First Visit As Prime Minister

Friday June 11, 2010 Well, it seems that money for war is not an issue for a government that says it needs to tackle the deficit. Let’s cut public services, sack people, put more people in poverty due to welfare cuts, etc. Let’s spend these savings on war. It is really pathetic this new government. What else we could expect form a right wing party ?

David Cameron And George Osborne Launch Website To Ask Public For Spending Cuts Ideas

9/7/2010 12:13 PM BST It is really hilarious to see how low the Thatcherism has reached. After jeopardising any hope of recovery from this world wide crisis by cutting key elements of move the economy forward, the brilliant mind from Eton college ask what he should do. Is it just a populist tactic or he is really lost ? What about cutting the Trident nuclear defence system which will cost us £80 billion, Mr Cameron ? That's 80 times the amount of cuts on housing benefit which do help poor families in this country. Mr Cameron, any plan in creating jobs for millions of people affected by your wonderful economics ? As long as the old Tory selective dogmas are in place, the happier Mr Cameron will be. Take it Britain !
