The Age of Austerity - Coalition ATTACKS Critics

BBC News: Reports that DPM Nick Clegg the leader of the Liberal Democrats has stated that critics of the Government spending cuts are not telling the truth as to whom gets hit harder. When you cut welfare you hit the poor, lets not hide the truth, when you cut child benefit for the rich, in the Government scale that is about forty four thousand, it does not have the same effect when you hit the poor, the rich cant have an extra holiday or a weekend break, the poor cant eat, there is a difference is effect and scale. But lets be very clear the Coalition Government under PM David Cameron is doing the right thing, cuts are always going to hurt, but lets be clear and honest, there are always going to be poor people, the idea that Government can change nature and history is very Star Trek but not the real world, under New Labour social mobility was worse than in the 1950s, you cant chance civic society, you can cushion the effects, but just cushion, yes poor people will hurt, no one wants that but we have to live in the real world, the UK is broke, BROKE, we can afford it, it can be argued that the UK should not give any money to poor countries, its better to spend on our own NHS, Education and those on welfare. These are cold days folks, Guardian types voted for Tony Blair and we got the Iraq War, thus their views don’t hold much water and they should not, we need to return to the mind frame of the era under Lady Thatcher, people should want to create wealth, make money, and thus create jobs, the State cant and does not create jobs, there is Society but that Society needs a healthy economy, Countries likes Wales and Scotland have to get off the handouts and develop a economic base based on business, not the mothers milk of the State, the money in the bank is gone folks, time to GROW UP.

King George VI and the Art of Speaking

Guardian: Has an excellent Review on the forthcoming film The King’s Speech, it looks at how the father of H.M The Queen, King George VI overcame his stammer after his succession the throne after the Abdication of King Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor. Have seen old footages of the King when he was having a problem with his stammer, it painful to see even now folks, also as your humble correspondent also has stammer one can very much sympathise with the then Duke of York, he was never meant to be King, his urbane and charismatic brother David, Prince of Wales had the looks and the popularity, but love can make men do daft things, it can be very cold with the wrong woman. Thus it will be nice to see a film that shows how even Kings can overcome their problems, but lets be honest being symbol of the nation took it out of the King thus his early death in the 1950s, while the Duke of Windsor lived on in to the 1970s. Some things are never meant! And the cost when they tried is hard.
