The harbingers of doom wont like that .

I tell the truth, using FACTS that the tory media often choose to ignore.

A good one yesterday:

HMG has been forced by an FoI application to release figures confirming that GOVT cuts in in-work benefits and rises in taxes for the majority will mean that average working family will be over £6,000 WORSE off in 2015 than they were in 2010, whilst richest 10% will be BETTER off by an average around £45,000 per year.

All this before factoring-in cuts in benefits for the out of work and disabled.

A bit of news that is unlikey to be reported in the Torygraph, Scum or Daily Hate Mail, although the Independant found space for it today, together with a helpful link to the actual data

All the economic indicators are starting to look favourable for the first time in ages , not just here but also in some of the european countries that have been struggling .

Greece and Spain probably being the last ones to lift there head above the parapet .

The facts confirm that the Eurozone indicators have been positive for some time, UK benefitting from the increase in demand from European economies.

Gideon is Clinging to the Eurozones coat tails for dear life.

But that is good enough to get the positive economic indicators , the labour party is now praying something goes wrong now .

Who gives a s***t about the Labour party.

The UK Govt's economic strategy is currently being managed by a pair of lunatics, blinded by dogma, greed and cronyism - anything (Other than UKIP) would be preferable

One thing that seems to keep coming back to me these days , is whether we still need Local Government , couldnt most of the services they provide get funded by National Government departments .

Then there wouldnt be the inequality of what seems to happen at the moment where some councils seem to get better settlements than others from the National Government of the day.

At the moment the amount of services that Local Government provides seems to be dwindling .

RE: The Economy
Official statstics confirm that the gap between the richest 10% and the poorest 10% in the UK is now wider than at anytime in the past 100 years, and greater than all of the other 20 biggest economies (G20).

Indeed, this year the income of the very poor has actually shrunk in real terms, whilst the top 10% are enjoying a 20% cut in their Income Tax rate this year.

So much for Dave & Gideon's lie that 'We're all in this together'!

High Street shoe chain Barratts has entered administration for a third time, with more than 1,000 jobs at risk in the UK and Ireland.

Chains that keep on going into administration must have something underlying wrong in there forward projections and business plan.
