Beware - The Credit Smoke Screen

by Craig Chapman - 07:39 on 15 October 2008

Whilst all of the attention is quite rightly on the Credit Crunch and the dashing, gulping knight-in-rusty-armour Gordon Brown’s efforts to save the world, Popular Alliance wonder what minor news the Labour government is brushing under the carpet at this time. 

Let’s face it, they are sneaky bunch of slime slayers, with a reputation for sneaking via the back door, and that does not just refer to Mr Mandleson. 

How many new EU laws are we going to find thrust upon us ?  

How many more MPs have been fiddling their expenses ?

How many more hospitals have escaped nationwide condemnation for hygiene lapses ? 

How many more councils and police forces have money banked in unstable offshore banks and are ignoring good advice to move it ?

How more impressed are we to become by Vince Cable being the only voice of reason to cut through the madness ? Yes, you read that right, a Popular Alliance member commending a Liberal Democrat, though in speaking so well, we must remind everyone that he does represent a party so entrenched in Brusselsmania that we have to ask what the hell he’s doing, wasting his time with the rest of those surrender monkeys. 

So, Sir Lord Earl King Gordon of Gulpshire is saving the world, using the same package he copied (leaving out some of the better bits) from Ireland, Greece and a few others. It seems that many have already forgotten how he actively encouraged massive inflation in the housing market and unrealistic borrowing in order to raise more taxes, the very root of the problem in the first place. Errrrr – have you actually said “sorry” yet Gordon ? 

He trod all over David Cameron in parliament for daring to ask if banker’s outrageous bonuses would be stopped, given what a poor job they had done. He suggested the Tories were trying to knock his efforts to save the world. I actually understood David Cameron to be asking a very responsible question, pondered by the entire nation and still not yet answered square-on by his Gordonship. That is the job of the opposition. 

The fact that a Scottish Prime Minister is behind massively bailing out 2 Scottish banks at a time when a high percentage of Scots wish to be independent is also worth a second thought. If Scotland were to declare its independence next year, could the English, Welsh & Northern Irish tax payers expect to get our money back ? We already support so many free services north of the border, which far outweigh the capabilities of the Scottish tax system. 

My son wishes to study at a Scottish University. If he has a Scottish friend during his time there, then I am actually paying the fees for both of them !
