Tories 'Sell Access To Ministers For £1,000'

11:43am UK, Thursday August 26, 2010  

Again and again, the old Tories, the same inner circle of affluent people lobbying for more privileges in detriment of the majority working class and vulnerable people of this country. The "Big Society" is meeting to discuss how to keep the tax loop-holes for the rich, which is worth £40 billion, including tax avoidance, evasion, fraud or simply not paid. This is 25 times more than benefit fraud, for example. It is an outrage, inst it ? It is so easy to influence people to think that the bad people are those in low income or relying on social security to survive. I can see that some chauvinists who voted for Tory are so disappointed as there is no real change on immigration or EU membership. As long as these issues are profitable to the inner class, they will keep the "Status Quo". The more unemployment, the cheaper the labour force. The cheaper labour force, the more they profit. Make no mistakes, this is a government that legislate on behalf of a minority group: The aristocracy.

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.
