I nearly fell off my chair (I actually did the other week!!) when I read that David Cameron ‘doesn’t pay his taxes to keep alcoholics, drug addicts and the obese in the welfare system’. But it wasn’t his attitude to these groups that got me as we all know he’s heartless & uncaring of anyone who doesn’t fit into his elite world.
No, what nearly caused me to fall off my chair (again!) was the idea of him paying taxes. Yes of course he does but, and it’s a BIG BUT, he still takes home more than the rest of us can dream of plus having a vast personal fortune.
Believe it or not there is a positive side as the more he comes out with this evil claptrap then the more people will realise he is definitely son of Thatcher, only worse. ‘Not possible’ I hear you cry, to which I can respond in true pantomime style ‘oh yes he is’!

The Biggest Con Trick of All
With my business hat on I have just received an Interim Report from the Independent Commission on Banking and it certainly makes for interesting reading. (They gave a choice, either to read the full version at 214 pages, or the summary at 6 – ‘no brainer’ I think you will agree!)
So why ‘interesting’? Well, as you know in my recent blog I pointed out the umpteenth lie that the Tories have peddled, but this is the original – that the last government were responsible for the deficit. What a whopper!!!
This independent non-political review clearly and categorically explains that the crisis is totally and absolutely the fault of the banks. (As you all know the bank bosses get paid millions in bonuses, and for doing what? In any other business you’d be sacked for being so incompetent but with banking it would appear that you just get promoted to Chief Executive!) And indeed what the Labour government did, under Gordon Brown, was the ONLY course of action that could be taken, endorsed by this quote in the report: “to avert panic and ensure continuous provision of the basic banking services upon which the economy and society depends, governments and central banks injected vast amounts of capital and liquidity into the financial system”.
Not only did the Tories conveniently hide this they also omitted to tell Jill & Jo Public that if the banks had been allowed to collapse, and one can only assume this would have been the Tories dire course of action, it would be Jill & Jo’s money - our money - that would be lost. That scenario really doesn’t bear thinking about, so we can all thank our lucky stars that they weren't in power at the time!

How many more ConDem Fibs & Tricks?
Nearly a year since they got in and I’m getting angrier by the day as I discover yet another lie the Tories told in order to get elected. The latest one I’ve cottoned on to is that after all their hollow protestations about the previous government proposing to put up national insurance contributions they are doing it themselves. Such hypocrisy, what deceit!
And coupled with the false hope they peddled at the recent budget – the cost of petrol has actually gone up since then! – it could be seen as a very dismal time for all.
One glimmer of hope – surely they are going to be annihilated at the local elections in May in England? But then mustn’t count on it – the bastards might yet pull yet another con out of the bag!

Decisions, decisions …
I had a very surreal choice this morning – either to go and protest on electrification to Swansea, & cuts, or go & listen to David Cameron, who amongst other things would probably be ‘protesting’ his innocence over electrification to Swansea, & cuts!
Some of you might be getting really worried so let me repeat what I said in my last blog, no I am definitely NOT a Tory (and I don’t expect I would have actually got in anyway!) – the latter choice was through my business connections. And as it happens because of work commitments I didn’t do either.

PS Did he really turn up, April 1st and all that? And after all this is Wales – does he know where it is?!
