Woolworths, Comet, Jessops

The closure of a company with immediate job losses and the so called adjustments leading to job losses are tragedies in more than one way but they are the natural conclusion of a process started by sheer greed leading to an even bigger gap between haves and have-nots.

From a medical point of view, job losses in times of recession increase already dangerous stress levels in society and this can lead to traumatic situations that will affect not only the individuals who have lost their jobs but also their immediate families and society as a whole.

Some are strong enough to get by and find other opportunities. Others become so disillusioned that they start thinking about extraordinary ways to make a living. The ‘disillusion syndrome’ affects youngsters in particular since they are the most vulnerable and the less experienced. Youngsters start talking about alternative ways and constantly complain about ‘how useless ordinary routines like going to school, studying and learning really are.’ ‘I could make a lot more money in one day by selling drugs without having to get up early in the morning and go to school’.

We constantly hear about indiscipline in the classroom and violence in schools. There is obviously a link between what happens in schools with students failing and what goes on in the rest of society because schools are very much part of society.

The X-Factor mentality and gambling attitudes are very much an expression of what goes on in society when more and more people feel frustrated and very much doubt that there is something worth working for.

The Encyclical Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII on Capital and Labour indicates that those who see employment merely from a pecuniary point of view are very much mistaken. Employment plays a fundamental social role that many in power completely underestimate.

We define ourselves according to what we do for a living. It is not mere coincidence that in the past many surnames indicated profession and occupation. We value ourselves and we are valued and recognized by others because of what we do for a living.

Our occupation is very much linked to our sense of identity and the struggle to have a job is very much a struggle for our own identity. So next time you watch the news and listen to reports about 1800 losing their jobs there and 1300 losing their over there you can look at it from a different perspective.  

Politically Correct BBC failed to protect victims of abuse

Politically Correct BBC failed to protect victims of abuse

As it becomes evidently clear, the BBC failed in its duty of care and attacked the BNP because the BNP stands for the victims of crime. This is the conclusion regarding the abuse committed by Asian gangs, the Jimmy Savile Case and others.

For more than a decade the British National Party has been denouncing crimes and being accused of racism for denouncing crimes. What did the BBC produce? Meaningless excuses and fake apologies to cover up the fact that many in the BBC knew about crime and decided to become accomplices of crime rather than making an effort to protect people who were being abused.

Mark Thomson, former Director General of the BBC, denies having any knowledge. Well, there are those who say that they send a series of communications to Mark Thompson telling him about what was going on. Will Mark Thompson be brought to justice? I doubt it. Mark Thompson is well protected by the same cronies that help to perpetuate a culture of cover ups and abuse in the use of public monies.

Robotic Revolution that kills Human Beings?

Robotic Revolution that kills Human Beings?

The Daily Telegraph reports with great fanfares about ‘Our robotic revolution is only beginning to gather steam’ and says that ‘robots offer the potential for unlimited economic growth’. Economic growth based on unemployment? The USA has ten percent unemployment rates and more than 3 million people in jail.  

Rather than making robots to replace human beings, we should be replacing robots with human beings. The sheer stupidity of the ‘robotic revolution’ could lead to another World War and has certainly created high levels of crime and alcohol and drugs dependency.

Boris will cut the Police budget by ten per cent

Boris will cut the Police budget by ten per cent

I knew Boris and others were lying when during the GLA elections they were talking about increasing the number of front line Police officers. I knew they were lying but the mass media prostitutes – namely BBC, Sky and ITV and others – massaged the electoral process and did not allow us to take part in debates.

The budget as proposed by Lib Lab Con and company was unsustainable and couldn’t possibly deliver the promises they made. So now they tell us that Boris Johnson plans a 10 per cent Police Budget Cut. Oh surprise! Any mentally retarded journalist would have known that by reading the GLA Budget.

Before the GLA election they were already transferring funds from the Fire Services to maintain some sort of normality of the Police Services by getting rid of real police officers and replacing them with volunteers elegantly called Community Police Officers as if by rebranding they could make a scandalous policy acceptable.

Families are suffering while low-life individuals prosper

Families are suffering while low-life individuals prosper

The news that middle-income families spend 51 per cent of their earnings in childcare does not come as a surprise in a country in which the Welfare State is feeding criminals. One of every three pound is spend in Social Security.

Iain Duncan Smith tells us that Labour’s tax credits are used by criminals and attract unwanted people that come to Britain to milk the system. Instead of sanitizing the system, Parliament increased the amount spent in Social Security. My advice would be to abolish tax credits all together, but I know it is not going to happen because Labour and others need to spend in Welfare to buy votes to keep themselves in power.

They also tell us that 4,000 foreign murderers and rapists cannot be thrown out of Britain. My advice would be that if we cannot throw them out we should get rid of them for good and save everybody the trouble of having to cope with scum.

Poverty: What is it?

Poverty: What is it?

They usually tell us that in order to be able solve a problem we need to define it. Poverty has long existed in many different ways. The main obstacle in terms of finding solutions stems from our inability to define what we mean by poverty. There is not a fit-all kind of solution and poverty can exist surrounded by abundance. Poverty is very often linked to our inability to exist in a certain kind of environment.

If we are trying to live in an environment in which only high-achievers will survive and we don’t have the physical and intellectual skills to succeed we are doomed to fail. This is the archetypical tragedy of Developed Economies. People from Developing Countries are constantly flocking into Developed Economies in search of opportunities not realizing that what they see as lack of opportunities in their countries of origin is their lack of physical and intellectual skills to succeed.

Slums are full of people who believe that they can succeed without making the necessary effort to succeed. They usually end up at the bottom of the pile, living in hell and dreaming about an impossible paradise. Poverty is not only the reality of not having enough to have decent living standards. Poverty is a state of mind. If you have to depend on Social Security to survive, you are in real trouble and getting up in the morning, rather than being the pleasure of enjoying another day, will feel like some kind of torture to be endured. Transitory solutions have become permanent realities. Welfare Dependency can destroy the most opulent economies.

A New Year: Better Ways of Doing

A New Year: Better Ways of Doing

Rather than wishing a Happy New Year, I rather think about ways of making a Happier New Year. For too long we have been engaged in the political process talking about what is wrong and we have spent little time telling the good news of what is obviously positive for all Nationalists.

2012 was a year of contrasts and personal tragedies, but was also a year when huge lessons were learnt and the knowledge acquired will be turned into a vast array of fundamental changes for the better.
