Looks like it isn't only the poor who are facing the daily struggle.

Labour leader Ed Miliband has said middle class families are facing a "crisis of confidence" over falling living standards.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Miliband said the economic essentials that once drove and sustained the middle classes had all been undermined.

Their children's prospects must also be urgently addressed, Mr Miliband added.

The Conservatives said Mr Miliband had no plan, and offered only more spending, borrowing and taxes.

What's this guff I hear about Mr Ponzi giving £7p.h. the thumbs up? After checking into this the press seem to have slanted it as to suggest it will happen. Really?...Have the press forgot last Autumn the Libs tried to push for a rise and was blocked by the Cons. Clearly this is another stunt as we head for the general election next year, just to add company's came out with the same old statements no we can not and if forced on to us laying off workers will happen.

Moving on to Ed M...

I see after his speech £1 billion was wiped off the banks on the stock market what a suprice...NOT! Followed by the usual carping on BS and who the hell wrecked the economy with their wreckless ways and had to be bailed out the bleeding banks thats who!

LOL...Farage as clueless as Cameron perhaps?

Nigel Farage has denied knowing anything about his party's 2010 manifesto - despite the fact he campaigned for it.

On BBC's Daily Politics, presenter Andrew Neil asked Farage: "Ukip is now against replacing Trident?"

Farage responded that the debate had been "kicking around for some time" before adding that he had "no idea" where Neil had got the information.

The interviewer promptly informed Farage that the information came from Ukip's own website.

He knows nothing of the parties policies which he now describes as "nonsense" and "drivel".

When I visited Britain, I had the time of my life and hope I get to go back someday. However, since the end of WW2, countries are losing their identities and sovereignty due to open-door social policies.

When I was walking through London, as a historian, I was in awe at the beauty and history of this very place that was under my feet. However, when I turn the corner and see Palestinians with bullhorns chanting death to America and Israel, and showing a general discontent towards Westerners including those who brought them in, I'm just dumbfounded. When I was in Israel, I saw the same thing.

I will NEVER again set foot in France because of the way those people are and have become. The EU and the UN are both ensuring that Europe and the world at large become some sort of anti-Conservative, secular, social paradise that will create chaos in which the status quo will sweep to (Hollande) or consolidate power as a result of the vacuum.

Here in the US, we are currently dealing with the most damaging and destructive administration since Roosevelt and Wilson practicing the same ideals. It's really disgusting what this country and other civilized countries are turning into. There's few exceptions.

If you want a pro conservative anti secular state have you considered moving to Iran or Saudi?
I would avoid the USA if I was you though as that has been secular since 1791, and they reinforced it in 1868 just in case anyone hadn't got the original memo.

Western 'civilized' Conservatism is a far cry from the the Saudi and Iranian conservative (religious), intolerant Islam that controls every aspect of people's lives and has absolutely no tolerance for anything but. Those systems are borderline fascist. Conservatism in this country, and that I support much like the 'Tea Party' anti-establishment, pro-individualist group, champions folks being left alone to pursue life on their own. Economies are built on the smallest cogs, such as small businesses and entrepreneurship. When you tax those out of existence and create an unfavorable business atmosphere, then it's all going to come crashing down at some point. It may take years or decades, but it will happen. That's why socialism has been shown to be such a failed system. Because it is. When you create a system where you try to ensure everybody wins, well it's been proven that more will end up losing than women.

Capitalism, like it or not, IS a system of winners and losers. If you want to succeed? Work hard and be driven. When politicians create environments where the citizen is perpetually dependent on the government because there's not more choice or competition, then that maintains the status quo.

Conservatives, in my view, have faith in people. Liberals, again in my view, place their faith in others and government to do what's best for them. That's a dangerous concept.

The US has been secular for about the last 40 years of the post-Vietnam era, and the rise of modern hippie Liberalism which, as such is the reason why this country is going right down the toilet.

Side note: It says you live in Ireland, I was entertaining the idea of coming for my honeymoon. Any suggestions on what would be a good place? Thank you.

Bias would of course say Galway. Town and its surrounding county do have most things people look for, apart from sun but people don't go to Ireland for the weather so any sun you do get is a real bonus.
Dublin in my opinion is just an expensive version of London with a different accent.
Emigration and recession have made the Midlands pretty dull overall, but there are still some great spots.
Ideally I would say tour the west coast, do Cork to Donegal if you have the time, stopping wherever takes your fancy or fitting it round local interests or activities.
I have tried it a few times, but starting in the north or South I never managed to get to the opposite end even when I have taken a month off work as there are always spots that hold you longer than you intend or realise.
The offshore islands are a must, but I would avoid the Arans as they are just too touristy nowadays.

Fundamentalist societies are right there on par with totalitarian societies because there's no deviation from what Big Brother wishes for you. I'm not the most religious man in the world by any means, but I do believe that Jesus' message is the simplest, most practical one for people to live by. But that's for a different discussion.

Sorry, the constitution sets it as a secular state. That's a little bit more than 40 years ago.

Secular Constitutionally, yes. But popularly, no. After Vietnam, most traditionalist American values went the way of the dodo. Wilson started this decline into the abyss, Roosevelt perfected it, and Vietnam was the final nail in the coffin.

Ambitious, the lakes make it much longer walk than than its length, the floodplain is often flooded and the extensive boglands are best avoided unless you know them.
Floating the Shannon may be a better choice, plenty of marinas to hire cruisers or sailboats from, or there is a option to canoe it and use tents and B&Bs for the overnights.
The canoe option allows you to get past Ardnacrusha and do the whole river

Well its about 15 months to the general election and this is what I think and hope will happen.

Labours polling level is remarkably consistent at the level of 39-40%. Since 2011 Labour has consistently polled between 37-40%. As long as Labour polls in the high 30%s, then, it is almost impossible for the Tories to win the General Election in 2015. They could not even win outright in 2010, against a very unpopular Labour Government, the Tories could only poll 36.9% of the total vote. Labour has an advantage in the voting system, which means that should both major parties poll the same percentage, in 2015, then Labour could poll almost enough seats to govern alone. Given the damage the Tory led coalition has done to the Welfare State and the NHS, then a Tory defeat, and a Lib-Dem vote that is collapsing to around 7-8%, will be richly deserved. Both parties have told lie after lie, Cameron said "no top down reform of the NHS", it was one of the first things the coalition inflicted on us. Clegg, and his party, promised to oppose any increase in tuition fees, almost the first thing he and his party did was to vote for a massive increase in tuition fees. Neither Clegg, nor Cameron, are fit people to run our society, let us hope that they disappear into the long grass in 2015.

Mixed news for the big three.

Heres my Local elections prediction..

UKIP will do well on votes but how many councillors will they get is the big question.
Liberals will have a bad night at the cost to the Tories, Labour and UKIP.
Tories and Labour will have mixed news, over all I think Labour will increase their vote but by how much is the question. If they come under a 3% then they are in trouble at the general election, 3% would be good but a hung Parliament looks likely and above that is good but they must hold that for another year.

Disability fund closure plan renewed

The government is to press ahead with the closure of the Independent Living Fund, which provides support for more than 18,000 severely disabled people.

It is the second time it has attempted to close the £320m fund.

The Court of Appeal ruled against such a move last year, saying the government had not given proper consideration to issues raised by the Equality Act.

But Disabilities Minister Mike Penning said the coalition was planning to close the fund on 30 June next year.

Jimbuna

03-12-14, 06:30 AM

According to the latest figures available from the Trade Union Certification Officer, as of 2012 Bob Crow's basic salary at the RMT was £89,805. The union also paid £10,313 of National Insurance contributions to the state and £34,429 into his pension pot in 2012. No car or chauffeur was provided. He was criticised for living in a council house, despite his five figure salary (often incorrectly cited as a 'six figure salary'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Crow

Bob Crow died not knowing how well off he was, to judge by today’s news. The Daily Telegraph opens its tribute to him with the words: “Bob Crow defended his £145,000 salary, insisting: ‘I am worth it.’ And so he was.” Yesterday’s Standard referred to his “£145,000 salary.” On the BBC website he is described as having “lived in a council house, despite earning £145,000 a year.” The same words are on page 13 of The Times. Even Reuters, normally so reliable, reported that he was on “an annual salary of 145,000 pounds ($241,200)”

No he wasn’t. His annual salary was around £96,000. The confusion arises because when the Certification Officer examines trade union accounts, he asks not what the General Secretary is paid, but what it costs to employ him. I can’t find the latest figures on line, but the 2012 figures are here. Scroll down to page 11, and you find that Bob Crow’s salary was then £89,805. With £10,313 employers’ national insurance, and £34,429 pension contributions, which came to an overall pay package of £134,547.

Bob Crow was well paid, but never had anything approaching a £145,000 salary.

Scotland is a country/province with its own laws and parliament, but would need to arrange terms with Great Britain (UK) over use of currency (Sterling) and division of armed forces, power utilities, etc.

But if GB left EU then no real issue, as it has a separate currency, no land borders, and could trade with the US, Commonwealth, or Far East without EU. And if the French get all uppity then just ban the import of cheeses and wine :D, and buy more decent new world wines instead. Instead of paying vast a amount of money to subsidise EU, and then getting some back in a rebate (why not just pay less in the first place) they could spend the money on their own infrastructure.

How are you going to pay the EU for their assets? After all they bought them so they own them, plus they bought them for knockdown bargain basement price, will they demand real market value if you want it back?
Could be a very expensive business deal if they demand a fair price

As for switching to nuclear to get rid of Russian gas. Your biggest gas imports are from Western Europe not Russia. That's Norway Holland and Belgium. Which sounds kinda EU doesn't it.
As far as Nuclear goes .The French State owned EDF is doing Hinkley isn't it?
The next project in development is by the State owned Rosatom.
So the plan is to switch from a 1-2% reliance in Russian gas from Gazprom and go for a 5% reliance on Russian nuclear from Rosatom.
Plus if Scotland gets its independence it gets the bulk of your gas reserves . What guarantee is there that you can still import your currently domestic gas and they won't pipe it to Europe instead?

Votes for independence and leaving trade blocs are all well and good, but the important question is "Then what?".
The "then what?" should be fully answered and understood before people put their little X on the ballot slip.
Not that that will make any difference. For example I still find people in Ireland complaining about measures they don't like, brought in by EU treaties which they willingly voted in favour of. All the information was available for them before the vote, they simply didn't bother and just voted in ignorance.

This is spreading out from London now and the Governor of the BoE has already stated I have no control over this which to a point is true. He has now got a ticking time bomb ready to go off the second he raises interest rates and all these house buyers will be in big do-do.

Gideon is over promoted and could not find his backside with both hands and a GPS. Currently racking up the UK deficit at £7,000 a minute on one hand while devaluing the pound with QE and other scams with the other.
Unconcerned his party's policy on Welfare is directly implicated in the deaths of 10,600 UK citizens in the first year and happily selling off what is left of UK public services to his pals in the City and on Wall Street while bunging them taxpayer subsidies as sweeteners.

UK inflation rate hits four-year low.

A fall in petrol prices pushed the UK inflation rate to a new four-year low of 1.7% last month, figures show.

It is the second consecutive month that the Consumer Prices Index rate has been below the Bank of England's 2% target, having stood at 1.9% in January.

Inflation measured by the Retail Prices Index (RPI) fell to 2.7% in February from 2.8% the month before.

Reading this I can tell you I'm very glad that 5 years ago my wife and I emigrated to Australia.

It is odd to recall that in the UK 'Question Time', 'The Today Program (Radio 4)' and the news, of course, seemed so important at the time! I'm not saying it doesn't matter, or that I don't care for the terrible plight of the UK and Europe generally. But we saw it coming way back in 2004 and managed to get out by 2009. Just really happy to be gone.

We are Australian citizens now, and news from the UK is distant, infrequent and doesn't matter a damn. Wierd how things can change.

Mr Farage said there were big questions to be answered from the first debate and said he was sure "there will be a ding-dong" over his views on Mr Putin.

Mr Clegg has called Mr Farage's view of Russia's president "utterly grotesque".

The Lib Dem leader wants the UK to stay in the EU, Mr Farage wants the UK to leave. It is on BBC Two at 19:00 BST.

Maria Miller apologises for handling of expenses inquiry

Culture Secretary Maria Miller has apologised to MPs for her attitude towards an inquiry into her expenses.

The Commons Committee on Standards ordered her to repay £5,800 to cover over-claiming of mortgage expenses after she failed to cut her claims as interest rates fell.

It cleared her of making false expenses claims, but said her submission of "incomplete" evidence to the inquiry had breached the MPs' code of conduct.

The MP said the matter was now over.

Hundreds of millions of pounds may have been wasted on a drug for flu that works no better than paracetamol, a landmark analysis has said.
The UK has spent £473m on Tamiflu, which is stockpiled by governments globally to prepare for flu pandemics.

Chancellor George Osborne has hailed the UK's economic recovery in a keynote speech in Washington DC.
Mr Osborne said critics of the government's economic plan have been proved "comprehensively wrong".

You can not have a recovery based on your ponzi scheme.

Why don't you get the BoE to raise interest rates? The moment that happens all those people who bought into your ponzi scheme will be saddled with debt and you know it.

When this comes crashing down and it will like all ponzi scams Osbourne should be arrested and sent down for 25 years in the worst prison we have and no parole for him at all. And in the first two years he should be placed in stocks up and down the country and pelted with the brown stuff.

New proposals to fight tax evasion

People who hide their money overseas to avoid paying tax face bigger fines and could be jailed more easily under government plans to fight tax evasion.

To prosecute at present, tax officials must prove a person holding income offshore has intended to evade tax.

But under a new criminal standard officials would only have to show money was taxable and undeclared.

Chancellor George Osborne said the changes would mean there was "no safe haven" for those evading tax.

Now your in trouble STEED....where are you going to hide your money now? :)
