by
Cliff
on Fri 22 May 2009 06:43 PM BST
Future Britain – Sorting out the Parliamentary Mess. Well we’ve had two weeks now of facts about the venality of so many of our MPs and I think this information is from only 150 MPs out of our Total 648. What’s to be done? May I suggest: the fastest is to ask each MP.. more »

Future Britain – “A plague on all their houses”
by
Cliff
on Tue 12 May 2009 08:56 AM BST
Future Britain – “A plague on all their houses”. So we can see with more clarity what we’ve felt was always the problem with our politicians – greed. All they wanted was a job for as long as possible, collecting as much money as possible and they don’t care the damage they do. more »

Future Britain – Council procurement procedures
by
Cliff
on Fri 27 Mar 2009 01:12 PM GMT
Future Britain – Council procurement procedures. Altogether it’s a very poor deal for the council tax payers AND for our local businesses. I finally understand where it all goes wrong in procurement. There’s a professional procurement team who are disciplined to follow the guidelines……. Precisely and totally. They are disliked by their ‘client’ departments in the council for ‘interfering.’ So what’s the problem?
The core problems are:
1. They are over-worked so to minimise the amount of work more »

Dear Voter. Are you a ‘Ripper Off’ or are you, like me, one of the “Ripped Off”. I need your vote to enable me to help sort this mess out. Together we need to reject the failed Labour Government. We need to ignore the Tories because they wouldn’t have done any better and we’ll only get more of the same. We need to be our own masters to put it right. more »

Cliff
on Mon 02 Mar 2009 09:09 AM GMT
Bankers Bonuses and Banks Tax Losses. Whenever a company completes their annual accounts, the directors are required to confirm the overall value of their assets on a ‘true and fair’ basis, a statement required from them by the auditors. Naturally they will have numerous types of assets and complex methods of valuation, none-the-less they are signing the accounts. They failed to see that these valuations were hopelessly inaccurate .... more »

Future Britain – Digital Britain, Broadband problems. Everybody, the politicians, the TV companies and the telecoms companies, seem to have clubbed together on a ‘never mind the quality, feel the width’ basis. They are trying to sell us spoof.

Future Britain – What Pensions problem? In 1909 the state pension was first set up. As I understand it the pensionable age was 70 whilst life expectancy was only 48 years, so it was very rare to get a pension!

Funding for the BBC. Congratulations to the BBC for having been so successful in promulgating the UK’s financial woes to the whole world.
