UK'S CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE ON THE RACK AGAIN


Hopefully they are turning the wheels well. The Chancellor, as some newspaper mentioned, should have a kick up the arrears.  This ‘financial wizard’ had to borrow £62million in Jul, 2013 when the City financiers expected a surplus of £2.5billion but they did not reckon with George Osborne’s great magic wand. So, where did the difference go?
  
July is known as a great months for the Treasury because the corporation and income tax are coming in more than any other month.

We might be the plebs in the Elite’s eyes but they make one mistake to think the public is stupid. Today with the newspapers and Internet we are more informed than ever before.  Therefore, the question has be to answer what is going on?

==================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AN DCLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU
==================================================

British manufacturing is at a high for two years according to the CBI and therefore the economy should see tax income rise and welfare cost fall but Mr Osborne by a sheer miracle saw himself forced to borrow £62million to balance the books.

The CBI reported further that 37 per cent of the firms in this sector having reported a rise of output in contrast to 21 per cent saying it had fallen. There is a gap of 16 per cent and it is the biggest since August 2011.

Since the City expected a £2.5billion and they surely know what they are talking about what is really going on behind the closed doors? Creaming off is one thing but bucketing when people have to starve and in the coming winter have to freeze because this great Government will not curb the energy suppliers is below any irresponsibility. It is unscrupulous.

Last month the Office for National Statistics announced an increase of Britain’s national overdraft to £1.2trillion and the Government has borrowed £36.8billion in the last three months in comparison to the same period in 2012 of £35.1billion. Yet, David Cameron and George Osborne have the callous manners of pointing the finger continuously at Labour.  Do they really think the public is so stupid and buys it? It is pathetic and goes down to the level of four-year old kids in which age kids always make fun of others and point fingers. It really is going all too far.

Even the Treasury has the nerve to announce that the economy is moving from rescue to recovery. We heard that since they came into power. Yet, Labour Gordon Brown who experienced the worst crash called the credit crunch which was a lie from America but he manage to have a 2.5 per cent GDP when he handed it over to this, always sneering at him when in the opposition, David Cameron.  The 2.5 GDP vanished within three months.

So, how much longer is the Conservative Party allowed to run Britain the country and its people into the ground until somebody powerful enough stops them?  I like the title Conservative; it should be Demolishing Party because that is what they have been doing for three year and will carry on doing. How they ever came into power, even with a minority, leaves me and most of the public wonder after the damage Margaret Thatcher done to this country which was more than enough for any memory? They call themselves English and even go that far to say they are proud of it yet they constantly destroy this country? It should never be allowed.

UK DWP WASTES £1.3MILLION ON I.T. BLUNDER -- Updated 18 July, 2015




IAN DUNCAN SMITH


UPDATE: 18 July, 2015 --
Even after two years and the computer itself costing £500million -- it is not working and costing £1.3million a year on extra staff double checking and calmly Ian Duncan Smith pays out a £44million bonus last years.

Department of Work and Pension (DWP) Secretary Duncan Smith wasting  --  again -- £1.3million on David Cameron flagship of benefits cap and reform. 

Even after four months the computer has not been built which should have coped automatically with the reform of benefits.

The program should be to roll out Universal Credit nationwide in one payment.  It includes a pilot scheme of a £500 a week cap on benefit and checks out households and it supposed to be a crackdown to cut the welfare bill.

Now it turns out to costs £1.3milion so far for staff to carry out the checks for the flagship benefits cap.  The government is forced to employ 112 more staff to check the benefit for each household and if there any benefit cap applies.  Ministers admitted they haven’t cot a clue how and when this problem will be solved but in the meantime the taxpayer pays for the mess David Cameron and George Osborne created.

Every time the government trying to cut back it cost the taxpayers more. Is that how politics should be?
Tory minister Mark Hoban admitted: “The check is to verify the benefits paid are to a household and check whether any exemption should apply. This process will remain in place until an automated solution is developed and introduced.” This answer which is no answer at all shows the cold blooded could-not-care-less  of the party and government.
==================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
==================================================
Labour Shadow Employment Minister Stephen Timms said the Department for Work and Pensions was suffering Whitehall’s worst IT crisis for years.  He added: “Universal credit is already on its knees and now the benefit cap has been infect by Ian Duncan Smith’s inability to deliver.”  He demands urgent assurance that this latest IT disaster won’t plunge yet another scheme into chaos

A spokeswoman for the department stated that the IT system to deliver the benefit cap itself was already in place and working well.

This is an incredible statement after ministers admitted that £1.3million are being paid on extra staff because the computer which suppose doing the job has not been built yet.  They also admitted that they have no idea when that will be done.

So there we have one of the biggest contradictions we can ever come across.

IN JUNE 2013 ALONE £2BILLION FUEL TAX FOR THE TREASURY -- Updated 11 Feb., 2015


UPDATE: 11 February 2015 -- Petrol prices have dropped but the Treasury is still getting their full share of around £2billion a month. It would not be surprising, if the Tories win the petrol prices will go up again, like a rocket. It would not be a surprise all this sudden drop of crude oil price is for the benefit of a Tory win. Through their bankers, financiers and Bilderberg they have a long reach.  As for the oil producers it will not make any difference if they reduce it for a year. They got more than enough money sitting about.


UPDATE: 7 February 2014 -- At the moment the petrol prices are reduced by around £0.10 which gives the car owners a great relief but is amazing that all of sudden it can be done in spite of the Chancellor threaten, last September, to put a tax rise of 5p on it. Has it anything to do with the general election coming up in 2015? Hopefully voters do not fall for all the promises the second time; promises in 2010 which none had been fulfilled. What a con!


UPDATE:  20 August 2013 - A news report stated the motorist is to be warned there is 5p per litre tax rise on the way and will be in force before the end of next month. The Petrol Retailer Association gives the reason of rising cost of crude oil and the unrest in Egypt and Syria. The increase would bring the cost of petrol close to 145 which will hit hard with all the other increases of 10 per cent on energy supplies and railways. Now only the postage which is always increased before Christmas and bus fares which also always go up around January are missing. Yet David Cameron does not lift a finger to stop it.


The AA official figure shows that motorist handed over £2billion in fuel duty to the Treasury.  This is for one month alone. The increase of petrol sale generated in June a £929million. In spite of that petrol prices are rising again, on the quite.  Diesel also contributed £929million of fuel duty last month.

It is a disgrace to find out that the motorist has to pay almost 40pc on the price of petrol and with added VAT it comes to 60pc per litre. Surely that must be highest priced petrol in Europe if not in the world.
The fuel duty increased from 45.82p per litre in 2001 to 57.95 as of today.

Under pressure from the newspaper The Sun and its campaign “Keep It Down” the Chancellor George Osborne frozen the duty for the last two years. Since it is the last two years would my suspicion be wrong to think that it could be in the next budget in September?

It wasn’t so long ago that prices reach a £140.9 and the Transport Union of the haulage drivers threatened with strike. The Petrol Tanker Drivers promised they would join and back them up. This would have meant that every major road exit would have been blocked and the country would have been at a standstill. Even David Cameron and George Osbourne could not effort it and the prices went down to £130.9.

However, ever since prices started to increase again on the quiet. At the moment they are at 137.9 already. Will this Government ever learn?  Every one can see their method and it is no madness. They let it go up slowly and when they have to face the consequence of a possible strike they bring it down again but in the meantime they have million of pounds in their pocket. It is a cat and mouse game but of course to the cost of the motorists.

ENDLESS GREED OF UK MINISTERS -- Updated: 20 June, 2015



HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT 
UPDATED: 20 June, 2015 --
The latest news: MPs stand for a further pay rise of 10 per cent. Yet, the Prime Minister David Cameron turned down the 1 per cent pay rise for nurses.

Ian Duncan Smith, head of the Dept of Work and Pensions will cut Welfare by £12billlion.

UPDATE: 8 September, 2014 -- A year on it had been agreed that the MPs should get 9 per cent increase. Yet, it is the MPs who vote for freezing the wages, cutting benefits, budgets of councils and NHS but when it is about their pocket not a vote against their own salary increase. There goes another promise of PM David Cameron to reduce the cost of the Parliament. Has he ever fulfilled one of his promises?


It is barely a month ago when the Ministers of Parliament (MPs) insisted on a £7,500 pay rise to their more than adequate yearly salaries of £65,000 plus their various form of expenses. Expenses for which ordinary people have to pay out of their wages.

Now they demand a £20,000 expense perk.  This means a flat rate, tax-free allowances for food and second home costs.  Furthermore, they want the payment without any receipts or filling out an expense form.  They must be living on another plant to demand a £20,000 expense allowance, tax-free and no receipts to prove it. This sneaky, not so clever idea came about because a number were caught out putting down expenses which had nothing to do with their work and were heavily fined or even imprisoned.  Do they know that £20,000 is a high wage these days for ordinary people, in spite of having to pay quite a large sum of National Insurance and Tax?

==================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS,  THANK YOU.
==================================================

The rise of salaries were agreed to compensate for the loss of expenses. Therefore, it shows their full audacity and attitude at a time of austerity supposed on ordinary people and living now in great poverty, to demand now after it was all set and done a £20,000 flat-rate for expenses.

Aren’t we all pleased to read the Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow suggested the change over from the present expense system to a single allowance?  He also forwarded a letter to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority who regulates the MPs’ pay.  Mr Bercow pointed out further that 17 out of 20 do not claim expenses purely to avoid the hassle of filling in forms and provide receipts.  Unbelievable!

Matthews Sinclair, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “It would be completely unacceptable for MPs to enjoy a tax-free allowance with no scrutiny whether the money is spent on legitimate expenses and not transparency over if it amounts to anything more than a top-up for their already substantial pay.”
He points out further that it would undermine Parliament while there is a freeze on public wages.  Many taxpayers would see it as a stitch-up.

Wouldn’t it be a shock for the MPs having to pay for their own ‘sandwiches’ and the Lords who get £300 a day when they are sitting. In spite of it all the taxpayers have to pay for their ‘lunches’ which amounts to a staggering £65,000 per week. We can reveal it is not beans of toast or fish fingers and there after all over 750 Lords.  On all these extra costs not a word of cutting back and about austerity.  There again a Lord who is a multi-millionaire anyway and still receives a £300 a day surely could and should pay for his own lunch. If it would be implemented it would rock the foundation of the House of Parliament more than Guy Fawkes could have ever achieved.

Although the proposed pay rise of £7,500 agreed on but it would only come into effect after the 2015 election.  All three party leaders have rejected it which is most surprisingly.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if they get it granted after all. So far we have never seen a proposal of that kind turned down.


At the moment the Government is ruling beyond any belief.

DWP BONUSES OF £44MILLION PAID TO STAFF -- Updated 31 Dec., 2014

In my opinion the £44million bonuses would have come off the saving from benefits cuts to families and disabled. Many disabled people killed themselves or died of hunger. It will get even worse now. How can that man live with himself?


IAN DUNCAN SMITH 

 Department of Work
 and Pension Secretary
UPDATE:  31 December, 2014 --  Ian Duncan Smith asked to exclude the Department of Work and Pensions from the Autumn Budget 2014 because of his disarray of the Welfare Reform. In other words it would bring the budget down. So he is aware of the mess he made costing the taxpayers £800million.

Department of Work and Pension Secretary (DWP) Ian Duncan Smith paid out a staff bonus of an incredible £44million. This is one of the most appalling stories ever happen under the present Government. The DoW was responsible to cut benefits for already needy people and furthermore the worst to cut benefits for disabled.  This very act cost over 1,000 lives but it would not shake the Work Secretary Ian Duncan Smith or his Prime Minister David Cameron because they are all right, thank you.

==================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
==================================================

One of David Cameron's pet subject and flagship is to ‘reform’ the DWP department and mainly the pay-out of benefits and pension. The whole department apparently is in total chaos and huge benefit tests backlog, botched work capability assessments and IT is in crisis. The computer which should have handled it all hasn't even been built yet. Nothing but a well organised shamble. For all this shoddy work from senior civil servants in Whitehall receive a bonus of up to £17,500 each.  The front line staff is doing more than their best to help and sort out problems for people but they won’t see hardly a penny extra for their hard work.

It was revealed that 62 shared £671,000 on top of top salaries adding to a six figure. The average 99,739 staff shared more than £43.8million which comes down to £515 each.

As if that is not enough a huge sum of in-year rewards was handed out in cash and vouchers adding £5.3million. All in all it is nothing but a crime against humanity.  To shout on top of their voices about austerity and having to cut-back, which they did drastically, we read almost every day about huge bonuses handed out not to ordinary staff but top executives. How do they justify these bonuses being available and for what?  The whole country is up in arms but the Tories could not care less as long they get their pocket filled.  Is there nobody there, powerful enough, to stop them?  I am not calling out a revolution but surely all these scandalous bonuses and high salaries have to be stopped some how.

A DWP spokesperson stated that bonuses are only paid to those whose work is consistently good or outstanding. This statement does not justify the result of mismanagement and chaos in the DWP.

Labour MP Tom Greatrex stated that Ian Duncan Smith is happy to reward incompetence and complacency which tells you all you need to know about his attitude to the most vulnerable in society.


"How can DWP justify to hand Whitehall Fat Cats already receiving high salaries plus a bonus of average of £17,500 at the same time cutting benefits of poor and disabled? What kind of human being are they and especially those who sanction it and hand it out?

"I am surprised and shaking my head about David Cameron, I am not rubbing it in; I would never do that, having had experiences of handicap and disability, bringing cold bloodily a French firm ATOS paying them £1billion to assess Disability benefit plus advising them to pass only one in eight that really is the limit of human decency.
"

As if that wasn’t bad enough now we have to read about a £44million bonuses being handed out to people who make sure the benefits are cut and making a mess of it in all.

BORDER CONTROL -- Updated 16 March 2014



UPDATE: 16 March 2014 -- The Border Agency was so out of control that even the Home Secretary Theresa May could not find any excuses any more. She dissolved it with lots of golden handshakes and brought it back under her control, renamed Border Force. First of all the move  was a waste of taxpayers' money, again, and secondly it did not improve either. 

A recent report stated that migrant are in camps for over one year awaiting a decision. It cost again a lot of money and it is the taxpayers who foot the bill while Theresa May plays the Home Secretary and earns her fat salary. PM David Cameron closes his eyes to all the shamble she created in her four years.



With 500,000 case sitting on shelves resulting from the diabolical Border Agency, private company,  and new reports about immigrants coming in by the Channel Tunnel from Brussels to London were never fingerprinted for four years it scarce the living daylight out of any decent British citizen.

Furthermore the Border Force guards fining drivers and firms being caught in human trafficking with such low amounts it would not deter any body. It is well known to transport illegal immigrants is a lucrative business.

Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigrations John Vine points the finger at Home Secretary Theresa May and accuses her to cover up the effect of cut back in the service as a result.  Mr Vine reported that border staff is very concerned about the unchecked “Lille loop hole” where dozens board the trains and then enter the UK via Brussels to London.  Since it had been going on for about four years one dares not thinking about the damage that was done.

All this good hard-earned money of taxpayers was spent on shoddy work and control. It is nothing but a crime.  Looking at these results the UK might just as well save all this money and open the borders all together.  At least money is saved for the taxpayers and not completely wasted.

Migration Watch UK’s Alp Mehmet is also of the opinion that Border control, cannot be had on the cheap.
It resulted already in so many court cases where immigrants disregarded the Law of this country. A report revealed that last year £14million court bill was spent on translator for immigrant cases.  Accordingly the legal system was swamped by cases involving immigrants.  Language experts were required for 259 dialects for criminal, civil and family hearings.  A great number could have been avoided if the Border control had done their duties properly.  Although this is not the end of wasted taxpayers’ money it will continue if they are convicted and sent to jail. The cost of keeping a person in jail will add to the benefits of any dependence and at the end be sent home again fully paid.

This is only a rough guess of a picture painted which is created by a negligent Border Control. There were endless reports about the useless Border Agency over the years and nothing was done until it reached 500,000 cases which were not dealt with and it woke up even Theresa May.  Now after the Border Agency was resolved and is now under her responsibility will it be any difference?

FREED RAPISTS OFFENDED 180 TIMES AGAIN


JEREMY WRIGHT --  JUSTICE MINISTER
It is an open secret that paedophiles and rapists are incurable and offend times and again after being freed.  Where the answer lies for a proper cure to keep them off their crimes only the medical experts can reply?
The statistics shows 180 rapes last year and convicted offenders committed 700 rapes again after being freed in the last five years. These figures were publicised for the first time and are an unbearable situation.  A shocking figure of 1,200 conviction of rape with 15 per cent of it was repeated conviction something radical has to be done to protect the public. Most the rapists get not a sentence which fits the crime and then half of them only serve half the prison sentence.

Many times newspapers were pointing out these horrendous crimes and some rapists get only a warning or if a prison sentences which is so short and they will be back on the streets again. For some unknown reason these crimes seems to rapidly increasing. It is hard to define if the media is too easy with writing and filming about sex scene or the great numbers of porno on the Internet. Especially porno should be completely off the Internet. All these facts do not help to cut down the urge to rape and in quite a number of cases they kill their victims trying and hoping to protect their identity.

UK Tory MP Piti Patel points out once more the high number of rape and appeal to the judges and courts to give longer sentence.  She stated further that the rapidly increase in these crimes would be wake-up call to get these monsters off the street.

Justice Minister Jeremy Wright emphasises that tough new sentences are now available. A compulsory life sentence was introduced for people who committed a second very serious sexual or violent crime. Well let’s hope the judges use them were necessary. They don’t seem to take this crime seriously and consider the victims who have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

SOFT  JUSTICE  IS  NOT ACCEPTABLE.
