setting themselves up for the cull


The socialists' idea of the rich.


Dinosaurs driving cars unselfconciously are the real enemy.


These people have the right idea - but only when there's a larger, tolerant society to support them.

Recent events in 'London' have made me rethink my attitude to the police yet again. The film of that 'sergeant' hitting an unarmed, tiny, female protestor was a fucking disgrace. Every policeman and woman should hang their head in shame that such scum are allowed in the force. And as for the unprovoked attack on a totally innocent newspaper seller that led to his death - the whole force needs to rethink its tactics. It's even been claimed that diabetics who were 'kettled' were not allowed access to insulin. That's disgusting and if true should bring the wrath of every decent person who wants a better society down on the police.

I did both Poll Tax Riots. Arch socialist Thatcher had to go and I'm glad I helped bring the bitch down. I saw the police tactics there, not dissimilar to those used in London again last month. I've nothing against the police cracking open the skulls of leftist filth who go only to make trouble, but the Climate Change protests were something we ALL have to support. The anti-capitalist scum that latched on to the demo should have stayed away. They should fade away altogether.

I can't understand why the lefties have tried to tack themselves on to the Green movement. They have infiltrated the Green Party (see recent post) and now try to barge in on genuine demos.

This following post to a friend's facebook helped a little.

It is so depressing that a bunch of greedy super rich wankers have the power to kill our Mother Earth even while the rest of us protest, vote, etc etc. Nothing we do within the system seems to evict these parasites. I'm growing my own food here and living as simply as possible, what else can one do? I'd like to tax the rich at 90% globally (no offshore escape funds) and use the money to alleviate world poverty and to live sustainably. How HARD can it be??? What is it going to take to break the stranglehold of the greedy????

What absolute childish unthought-out drivel. Lets dissect it.

It is so depressing that a bunch of greedy super rich wankers have the power to kill our Mother Earth even while the rest of us protest, vote, etc etc.

'Power' is not really held by a bunch of rich people but, mainly, by elected politicians. To retain power they need to give people what they want. Sadly, in most cases, this equates to more material things (which DO in most cases damage the earth, in embedded energy, material waste and pollution). All business people do is fill these needs. Unless you vote Green (and REAL Green, not leftist-infiltrated Green) you are supporting this system.

Intemperate RUBBISH. The parasites are the millions of people who live on others. Benefits types, the royal family, the established churches, politicians, local government officers, even in the strictest leftist sense of the word the young and old who do not work. Businesspeople are NOT parasites. They are living the life most people give up when they are still at school, happy to just be cogs in a huge machine, safe, comfortable and with few worries. Businesspeople are HEROES, not villians. Without them we would have nothing.

I'm growing my own food here and living as simply as possible, what else can one do?

This is excellent news, and is the best way you can attack this system and prepare for an energy-constrained future. This sentence goes totally against the grain of the rest of the rant.

I'd like to tax the rich at 90% globally (no offshore escape funds) and use the money to alleviate world poverty and to live sustainably.

Would you? Well fuck off. You'd have nobody starting businesses. We'd all happily live off the crumbling state. There would be starvation, war and no health care. Sounds like 1930s Soviet Union LOL! Offshore tax havens should be protected, they provide employment for many of the people that live there, and attacks on them is nothing but bullying. Trust a lefty to support it. Tax is evil anyway, except on purchases. We should be allowed to retain what we earn and choose our own level of taxation by choosing how we spend it. We need LESS taxation, not more. That incidentally would be an excellent way of stopping the tax havens! Alleviating world poverty would not happen if you introduced punitive levels of taxation, everybody would be worse off.

People can not aspire to developed world levels of wealth - it would destroy the planet. We're going to all have to live simpler, less materialistic lives. And billions will also have to die off I'm afraid, if the Earth is to have a chance. I'd rather those billions were made up of parasites than hard working and innovative businesspeople.

How HARD can it be???

Oh, give it up you whingeing twat. If it was easy surely we'd have done it by now. The Soviet Union and its puppets tried it and look what happened. Power was held by an elite, people were imprisoned in their own countries, nastiness and intrique ruled and the environment was shattered. Is that what you want again?

What is it going to take to break the stranglehold of the greedy????

Well, not a bunch of middle class lefties who've identified the wrong enemy for a start! Let's dissolve politics, that would get rid of a lot of them. Let's starve the real parasites. Reduce the oppressive tax burdens we currently have and let true Green business flourish. Build sustainability into everything we do, throw out christianity and bring in Paganism. Break up the big countries - USA, China, Russia etc. Teach kids to grow and sew, fish and shoot, teach them the value of heroics and self sacrifice rather than self self self. That would be a start.

And let's use all lefties and tories as fertilizer!

getting it wrong


So 'Lord' Mandelson is planning a 2 billion quid plus bail out of the 'British' car industry is he?

What a joke!

The government should NEVER interfere in the market. These companies should have built up reserves to get them through harder times - if they haven't then they deserve to go to the wall.

Car companies are dying ayway - they have about as much future as airlines. The car (as well as bus and lorry and tractor) is an anachronism, created when oil was plentiful and cheap. It will not outlive the end of cheap oil, which is now upon us. The much touted alternatives are NOT alternatives, they are still cars, they still need huge amounts of energy and raw materials to build. The cost of electricity will rise in tandem with the cost of oil and gas. Roads themselves will begin to break up as maintenance schedules are loosened up - in the UK this already seems to be happening.

If a car company deserves to survive it will do it WITHOUT government help. It will start to retool and retrain, to allow it to exploit the explosive growth in rail travel that is coming. They will build carriages and locomotives, freight vehicles and trams.

The car is already a historic artefact. Some will survive a few more years until oil reaches stratospheric prices, $500, $1000 a barrel. But really the car today is an example of dead man walking, if that's not too confusing a metaphor!

Onwards - to infinity and beyond!

hellatrow - oh dear!



How not to run a business!

In our quest for intra-holiday entertainment we trudged to a place down the road that advertises itself as having the biggest stock of used books in the UK.

What a let down!

A few years ago, when I was trying to pay my way through my MA, I sold books on eBay. This meant visiting a huge number of charity shops looking for stock. But this was far, far worse. This is where the books that the charity shops can't even give away end up!

What is the point of displaying 1 million plus books if not one of them is less than 30 years old, where the filing system is appalling, where all the tatty things that end up in attics take up valuable shelf space and where many of the books are not even priced?

This is one business that I hope is an early victim of the credit crunch - it deserves to be!
