Eton educated David Cameron, a relative of royalty, the son of a multi millionaire, married to a women of massive inherited wealth, a man who got his first job within the Conservative office due to a telephone call from a royal equerry is lecturing low paid people or people on benefits about 'entitlement'. I bow to his superior knowledge on the subject as he is the product of entitlement and nothing else. Add to that the hypocrisy of his moralising about Jimmy Carrs tax issues only to fall silent and evasive when ask about Gary Barlows involvement in a similiar scheme. The difference being that Barlow is a tory supporter who campaigned along side Cameron as well as the recent recipient of an OBE, whereas Carr appears to be more left wing, evidenced by his appearances on the 10'o'clock show. Add further to this mix Camerons ideological soul buddy Osbornes tax avoiding Trust fund which enables him to avoid paying millions in tax to the treasury and you start to form a picture of a pair of privileged posh boys wading around, knee deep, in a swamp of stinking hypocrisy.
The suggestion that Housing benefit is removed from under 25'S is a vivid demonstration of how out of touch these two posh boys are. As if the kids are going to pop back to ma and pa's for a while until they sought themselves out and get a high paying job. The more likely scenario is that homelessness will increase along with crime. The frightening statistic that is widely ignored by the Tory's being that there are currently 2.5 million registered as looking for work and only 500000 vacancies, of which the majority are part time, some as low as 4 hours. Even the statistics on Housing benefit are hidden. Of the 1bn increase in Housing Benefit this year, 95% is paid to those in work.
Now they are suggesting regional benefits rates.It is a classic posh boy suggestion. Totally and utterly unrealistic and out of touch. I've not been up north for a while but I'm pretty certain that in cities like Liverpool and Newcastle the cost of food,fuel,gas,electric, insurance,car tax,clothing or footwear is no different than it is in London or the South East.
The only sure result, as Cameron and Osborne continue to wage an ideologically driven class warfare by attempting to divide and rule, by attempting to set working class against working class, Private sector against Public sector, old against young, is anger. Anger from the disposessed and disenfranchised as they see financial institutions acting criminally, bankers taking millions in tax payers money and then paying themselves massive bonuses for under achieving. The media buying off public officials, corrupting the police and phone hacking. Politicians defrauding and misappropriating tax payers money ( £680 wisteria removal Prime minster? £1936 mortgage over claim Chancellor? ) but being allowed to evade justice. The ruling elite allowing multi national corporations to lead them by the nose and to govern in the interests of those corporations and not in the interests of the people. Throw into the mix the massive expenditure of tax payers money for the ' bread and circuses' that is the Royal Jubilee and The Olympics along with the stripping back of civil liberties and you can see and feel an undercurrent of anger,hostility and injustice boiling up among the young and dispossessed.
The rain has been a dampener on the nation lately.
A heatwave is probably not what the establishment or politicians need or want at the moment.
The Queen Attempts to Put Kate Middleton in her Place.
Buckingham Palace released an interesting press release this week. The Queen has decreed that The Duchess of Cambridge must subjugate herself and curtsy when in the presence of blood royals. The daughter of entrepreneurial parents who started up their own business and turned it into a success must be subservient to the daughters of a fat bloke, who I'm not sure what he does other than associate with sex offenders and of fergie, the woman of toe sucking fame and trying to sell access to her ex-husband for £500000. It's makes you wonder if the Palace aren't becoming concerned about Kate Middletons popularity and that she may have a touch of the Diana about her. It's sad when two princesses who are known for wearing ridiculously pretentious hats and..........er, well that's all actually, while living off state handouts are considered better than the daughter from a high achieving and successful family ( I'm excluding Pippa from that last statement).
There's me thinking we lived in a meritocracy It feels more like the 1930's.
