Excuses, excuses! England have been rubbish throughout the whole tournament.

There is a real danger to use the disallowed goal as a scapegoat to cover up what was once again a very disappointing England performance that summed up our whole World Cup campaign.
Germany concentrated on their national team years ago when they saw how many foreign players were in their league. They spend more time together and take a break in the season. Teams are encouraged to develop their youth policies.
The FA is a disgrace and the so called top 4 clubs who have any English players are assumed to have the best players!
Good Luck to Germany, all the teams reaching the Quarter finals are the best at present and I look forward to watching without the distraction of a very poor English team.
It is also very interesting how many foreign players get criticised when they do not adapt to a foreign country, language and culture immediately but the English players, how many play abroad? They are even out of sorts when they have to stay abroad for one month!
England's best player has performed consistently badly in all the games that he has played. In fact, Rooney has been tackled or lost possession more times than any other player in the World Cup and that's remarkable.
Back in 1966 when England won the World cup there was no "premier" league, just the old first and second division with no foreign players. My view is that things really need to change maybe back to the past before we can become an international force once again.

And just where during the Budget speech was the prime cause of all this pain,I refer of course to yellow streak Brown MP for Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath?

Listening to the siren voice of Harperson yesterday in parliament whining about Osborne's budget was nauseating in the extreme. This revolting woman and her cohorts yellow streak Brown, dumbledorf Darling, Bliar, red neck Straw et al were the architects of this massive debt mountain which will destroy our savings and future earnings for a decade or more. They should be facing a firing squad for what they have done to this country's finances. To think that they could ever be elected again is frightening but is a real possibility as the morons out there will blame George Osborne for the austerity measures implemented to rectify the problem rather than the criminals who caused it in the first place. I say congratulations George. Not many would have the guts to stand up and say how things is and put the bombed-out party opposite in their place. Why should the unions start their everlasting griping; they funded the shower opposite that has cause all the problems in the first place. Go on strike and then see unemployment rise. The VAT move was necessary to stop the "shop till we drop" brigade in its tracks. Billion have been spent, and wasted, on buying stuff that has largely ended up on a corporation tip while China has reaped the benefit and while banks and retailers have harvested in the billions with their outrageous interest rates on store and credit cards - most of which people are still paying off.

Ignore Prescott - he's tribal but is happy to ignore his own apparently strongly held principles when it suits him.

The pension system does need reform - and it could actually be in public sector workers' interests to acquiesce, because there is a growing feeling of inequity around the pensions issue which will do them no favours in the long run.
When two jags Prescott is sure that it is a collaboration, the rest of the world can be very sure that it is not. Prescott has form, be it:
Becoming the supreme head of Transport and environment to improve our traffic flow and environment. The roads were never as bad as until his lethal influence on the department was removed.
Be it running two Jags or living in a pretentious house with turrets or what ever his action contradicted his words.
Be it the HIP to solve the problems with housing transactions- it increased cost without helping the system.
Worst of all, this man of working class, the class warrior, the self proclaimed nemesis of the House of Lords has unsurprisingly but outrageously accepted a peerage. His humbug and hypocrisy of accepting the peerage pales into insignificance when he asserts that he was going to the House of Lords for the sake of Environment- My foot.
It is high time two jags Prescott is given his due place in the national life- that of oblivion. He deserves to be ignored and nothing better. When such a man criticise Mr John Hutton for collaboration that is proof positive that it is not.
Prescott has always been proud of his tribalism and espused the 'no such thing as a good Tory' school of thought. It's that sort of tribalism that puts a lot of people off politics. Calm pragmatism, balance, political nous, organisational skills and intelligence are what's needed for this job. It won't be easy and it won't be popular. Hutton will probably do it well.

John Terry will you please just shut up.

First it was the altitude.
Next it was the ball.
Next it was the isolation.
Next it was boredom.
Finally and to be expected Blame the Manager as usual.
John Terry is a vindictive prig and a seriously disruptive element. Clearly the captaincy situation is his motive for revenge. If Ledley King and Rio Ferdinand had been fit, they could have dispensed with Terry's services. He clearly thinks he rules the roost,which apparently he is allowed to do at Chelsea. For a player to openly challenge a Managers tactics and policy in public, is unbelievable. I think I am correct in saying he and the other Prima Donna's have failed to produce the goods at international level for 3 Managers. No doubt he thinks it is all their fault. We won't get much further in the World Cup, so why don't they just banish this mutinous loud mouth now?

England, what a crock of shite!

If England play like that again, quite simply, I don't want to see them progress; it would be inappropriate and also mind-crushingly boring. Even if they do manage to perform against Slovenia I will never forget that utterly, utterly terrible performance against Algeria.
The present "team" are a shambles, and Rooney swearing at fans was the act of a petulant kid.They didn't have to beat any team of significance to qualify and that flattered their ratings ahead of the tournament. England may still reach the last 16, but I cannot see them going far after that. It would indeed be the triumph of hope over expectation.
Perhaps Rooney should remember they can hardly lay claim to have played even their socks off let alone their hearts out for their country. Over paid and over estimated but no way they should be over there. Send some Championship players I am certain they would have put more heart into the game than we saw last night.
Fans are perfectly entitled to boo if they've travelled thousands of miles spent thousands of pounds to be subjected to an atrocious display of football by a bunch of overpaid idiots.

Indeed, it is Europe who needs the U.K., it is not the U.K. who needs the E.U. !

Governments throughout Europe are raising taxes, cutting public sector pay and public services - sucking out vast sums of purchasing power from the European economy. The banks are still in disarray. Lending to business continues to decline? The money supply is contracting? The murmurs about the Euro's long-term prospects are rapidly becoming shouts.
Spanish politicians unveiled a raft of reforms to the labour market yesterday but their attempt to shore up financial market confidence failed to quash rumours that the country was headed for Greek-style bailout.
Spain has had its snout in the Euro trough for 26 years now, my taxes have paid for their new railways, my taxes have paid for their new motorways and my taxes have subsidised their farmers.
If they turn to an extremist political party just because British or German taxpayers have other priorities now then they are not a nation that I want as a partner.
Isn't it about time that Spain and Portugal helped themselves rather than relying on others? In a spirit of European solidarity, of course. After all, they were so helpful to new new Eastern countries when they joined as I recall Spain in particular required significant amounts to be paid to them via Brussels, amounts that the likes of Poland or Hungary can only dream of.
This is a particular failing for the Euro, because the Euro has one Central Bank and one interest rate, but it does not have the kinds of automatic fiscal adjustment that the UK or US have for their component parts. So different Euro area countries can experience different levels of distress from some economic event, but one will not help another.

Harriet Harman and the rest of New Labour's Prima Donna's is the reason millions of working class men have walked away from Labour.

Harriet Harperson on Sunday morning told Andrew Marr 'I think the British Public want equality' Yes we do Harriet but not by discrimination! Putting up a candidate without regard to their ability is just not British.
Harriet Harperson is like a broken record. She is so boring when it comes to women representation in politics. All the decent, intelligent, ambitious women stay well clear of politics - and who can blame them? So we end up with the dregs at the bottom of the barrel - Hazel Blears, Ruth Kelly, Tessa Jowell and the rest of the incompetents.
If I were Diane Abbott I would tell labour to go and find someone else to play in there little game, in fact I feel a little embarrassed for her she must know she is only in the leadership battle because she is a women and black not for her ability to do the job.

Let the dead vote for the dead... !

Same old Labour; same old discredited PC dogma; must have equal representation of colour, race, sexuality and gender irrespective of the candidate's ability.







What a mickey mouse election.We are told to believe that this is a real leadership election and the field is so wide. When the a candidate himself and self confessed supporters of some other candidate nominated Diane Abbott while admitting that they will not vote for her makes me sick.
I'm not enthused either by the choice of and calibre of the candidates. This bunch, including Abbott, are tainted by their past and represent nothing new, despite their post-Election posturing. I don't trust any of them to deliver anything new or radical, just more of the same 're-branded' in other words another disaster for the UK.
Diane is not leadership material, it has nothing to do with Race or Gender. The silly tokenism of offering her up as a diverse candidate sticks in my throat. Do you know she is a joke. In a recent TV interview the only reason to vote for her she could come up with was that she was not a white man! Instead of working to sort out the schools in her area, she sent her son to a private school. She failed to declare earnings from her appearances on This Week. Worst of all I believe that she is racist, claiming that Finnish nurses could not care for her black constituents.
I plead with all the media to stop reporting anything relating to the Labour Party. I'm absolutely sick to my back teeth with Labour. I hope they never get into power again and then I can write about something else!

Lord Prescott of Toad Hall

I heard fat boy Prescott on the radio this morning. He tried to make a class war out of every issue. The point is that back gardens are counted as brown field sites under planning rules, yet there are plenty of real brown field sites available for developers.
Prescott has conveniently forgotten that his Labour government failed to build any significant number of social housing - just 2,000 a year - and his Labour government that allowed house prices to rise by failing to regulate mortgage debt and keeping interest rates ridiculously low. The coalition government has already doubled the amount of social housing that will be built.
As to throwing round phrases like `typical millionaire' at Zac Goldsmith - I'd eat my dirty running shoes if Prescott isn't a millionaire himself, when it comes to his taxpayer funded properties, numerous paid appearances and boring autobiographies. Prescott is a typical 'do as I say, not as I do' socialist. Prescott also made a complete fool of himself thinking we are all interested in his class war. The fact is he ranted on about 'Toffs' and how those 'Toffs' only look after their own. The fact that he had to use 'swearies' in his argument with Goldsmith shows what an intellectual Pygmy this odious toad really is.

The root cause was indeed yellow streak Brown !

Its about time somebody rectified Labour's gross spending of taxpayer cash!
Placing all the blame at the door of the banks is short sighted. I am not defending them but of greater concern is the appalling state of the nation's finances going in to the recession which meant that we piled on debt and unsustainable spending at a governmental level even during growth years. The bankers are simply the symptom of the disease, not the cause.
The root cause was indeed yellow streak Brown and only yellow streak Brown, when he handed over control of interest rates to the Bank of England, in return for a total deregulation of the entire financial system - all on day one of the Labour government in 1997.
When there are no longer any rules, any kind of immoral act can be justified, and that is exactly what has happened.
Former Labour city minister Lord Myners, who said that there was considerable waste in public expenditure. "There is nothing progressive about a government that consistently spends more than it can raise in taxation, and certainly nothing progressive that endows generations to come with the liabilities incurred with respect to the current generation," Myners said, accusing the previous government of flawed thinking on employment. "The government can create the environment conducive to the creation of jobs, but it cannot create jobs, and we mislead ourselves if we believe it can."
Lord Myners has come out now and that leaves just the moronic left and the slightly mad in the Labour in denial now.
Instead of redistributing income in favour of the poor according to their Socialist credo, yellow streak Brown actually re distributed income in favour of the money lenders. Thank you for putting the UK in ball and chains yellow streak, its going to be a very long hard sentence for us all!

Dumbledorf Darling today accused the Prime Minister of using claims that the economy is worse than expected as cover for swingeing cuts.

Between them, yellow streak Brown and dumbledorf Darling wrecked this country's finances and committed every taxpayer to years of debt. It's time they accepted responsibility for their actions rather than condemning those who have to clear up the mess they left. Dumbledorf Darling it would help if you yourself could count.As it seems to be that you cannot. You have spent our money like water running down a fast running river. You and your labour party are a joke, and didn't have any idea of what it was doing. In other words the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. What we really need is a Government committed to financial responsibility after 13 years of profligacy. Dumbledorf Darling obviously thought that creating jobs in the public sector such as a Transsexual and Transgender Equality Manager at £75K per annum was value for money. Virtually all sane people would think this a criminal waste of public money!
Socialism can never work. It leads to financial ruin and unemployment. It always has and always will!

Scary Balls admits Labour got it wrong on immigration from Eastern Europe.

Labour is finished, go lie down and die with the party.
















It is pointless for these 'so called candidates' to disagree with Labour policy years after the event.
At the time, they both wholeheartedly supported the war and immigration and numerous other Labour mistakes and it's too late to now go chasing votes by being "sorry". It isn't just from EU countries where the numbers coming into Britain are far far too high either. How absolutely typical of Labour to lie. If 203,000 new British passports were issued to foreigners last year and almost half of the holders were from Asian countries it isn't Europe that's the problem is it?
The whole sorry bunch, including scary Balls, should be locked up and all their personal wealth confiscated to help pay off the debt they incurred.
Innocent Britons, savers, homeowners, pensioners, the sick and poor, these people will have to pay for years to come.

Labour, just another crock of shit.

There certainly is an interesting blame game going on in the UK with regard to public debt. Undoubtedly Labour were highly irresponsible in running so many deficits in the good growth years and this left the UK highly vulnerable to the banking crisis, particularly with such a large financial sector.
I hope people who voted Labour can at least be humble and honest enough to acknowledge that 13 years of Labour government was responsible for this. It just riles me so much that people did not foresee this; and the insulting thing is that Labour almost got back again.
The case for prosecution of former Labour ministers on charges of treason grows stronger. Because this is not the case of one party losing power as in previous elections, the previous Labour government used state resources to secure their survival, and when they noticed that was not enough, they started spending recklessly, making contractual agreements on their last days in office. This is illegal & it's akin to making false representation. That is why all this needs to be investigated and charges brought against former Labour minister's. Also just as we scrutinize people for top jobs, their should be minimum qualifications for the position of Prime Minster, so that we do not have a failure in leadership again; just like when we had yellow streak Brown, who for example, was a failed leader that had never been elected into high office throughout his political career. People like yellow streak Brown should have been weeded out ages ago. All the problems and mess the country inherited from Labour should be well documented both in print, voice and video, so that when future elections come about, the electorates can be well educated about the state of the country when Labour left office after 13 years in government.

This is typical cross-eyed Labour.

Harperson wants to ensure that 50% of the frontbench Labour party are women!
It is as sensible as saying that 50% of astronauts, Board Chairpersons, zoo-keepers, traffic wardens should be women. If this should be the case, then why don't we have a quota for black & minority ethnic people, for gays, straights, bi-sexual and transgendered people, for catholics, C of E, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus or Buddhists? Harperson can't simply choose a metric of measuring the population (sex) and disregard all the other equally important metrics noted above.
If you want a future fair for all, fix the underlying causes of perceived misrepresentation in government, don't slap on some arbitrary quota - this should not please the person fulfilling the quota, nor should it please the public who demand experience and expertise in government and politics, especially at this time of crisis in Britain and across the globe.

Who cares; I do!

Lord snake in the grass Mandelson reads the last rites over new Labour today, declaring that the project that he helped to fashion “died on May 6, 2010”.
The responsible course would be for Labour to dissolve, and divide its assets (and membership) between a new Social Democrat party and a genuine old style socialist party.
Immigration soars 20% after Labour's last 'crackdown'
Why am I not surprised, just another couple of New Labour lies in a desperate bid to hang on to power at any price. Their policy of self first, party second and the country a very poor third should be remembered and written about for ever. This appalling bunch of incompetents should be cast into the dustbin of history for ever.

Who Cares?

The lack of interest in this election is due in some part to the dearth of talent competing and the fact that Labour has become an irrelevance after the coalition. The fact that Diane Abbott has such little support amongst MP's may be due to the fact that she frequently voted against the Party. It is also significant that she has secured the support of Lammy who clearly demonstrated the scope of his intellect on Mastermind. Lets reflect on the fact that he, Lammy, the minister for education in the Labour government thought Henry VII followed Henry VIII, got confused between Marie Curie and Marie Antoinette and mistook Bastille for Versailles. The real problem facing Labour is that if the coalition is successful, it could lose a lot of support to the Lib Dems and will be out of power for more than a generation, ending up as the 3rd party.
