beta edition - all figures not fully confirmed. About 25% of those working in France, ‘work’ for the government.
I sent in my tax declaration today. *%$&# government bastards - they steal my money in at least six different stages. Let’s all stop for two minutes hate!
And they haven’t finished yet.
Then we come to sundries.
There’s yet more, but I won’t bore you with it. The Fisc (French government tax thieves) really know how to pluck the goose here! The high unemployment rates are made worse by the laws that make it extremely expensive and difficult to fire people. Basically, the people who have jobs are protected by the system and those that don’t are cheated by the system. In other words, France protects the well-off and swindles the poor - the absolute opposite of the dishonest claims for this ‘wonderful’ socialist ‘utopia’. I’m OK because I’ll never have trouble getting a job, but the law is supposed to be more to protect the unable, not people like me! Sick. “I’m alright. why should I give a damn the poor are being cheated by this totally stupid system?” It’s this attitude prevalent in France that means nothing is likely the change anytime soon. You could almost claim the suburb rioters have a case to make.

pr in europe between the two world wars
Between the wars, essentially all advanced, large countries using PR ended up with weak, or dictatorial, governments. Those with First-past-the-post elections managed to maintain their stability, despite the great stresses of the times.

gordon brown’s impressive leadership?
Gordon is part of the problem. Of course he doesn’t sack his cronies. And, of course, they don’t have the sense of shame or honour that leads Tories to resign. Brown the Clown would have resigned years ago if he had any sense of honour or responsibility, or his hangers-on would have long ago seen him for the dope that he is, and removed him. Incompetence is inherent in socialism. There are direct and rather obvious consequences that flow naturally from that fact.

A series of five video interviews with former prime minister of Australia, John Howard. Howard was a member of the Australian House of Representatives from 1974 to 2007. He was prime minister from 1996 to 2007, the second-lonest serving Australian prime minister. The fourth in this series of interviews is the most interesting:

The thieves in Thatcher’s time were the union shirkers, a state within a state that cared for nothing but themselves. You could call them an orchestra, just as you could call a mafiosi an orchestra. You could call big pharma an orchestra - they innovate, but are also riddled by corruption. Unions, and big pharmaceutical companies, and many other ‘unions’, are conspiracies against the public interest. But you do get new medicines. Those medicines are ultimately produced by dedicated people in laboratories, most of whom have little time or interest in concerning themselves with sales etc. Government’s job is not to run ‘orchestras’, it is to mediate between them with law. Unfortunately, so many governments, like the present one in Britain, are corrupt and more interested in enriching themselves. They are more interested in gaining funds for their party orchestra and burying their snouts in the trough. So big pharma, and dozens of other orchestras, pay MPs to make ‘laws’ in their favour. And the politicians sell out. For the scale of the problem, and the corruption in US politics, see Dick Morris’s three books. Only an honest statesman like Thatcher will take on the unions and damn the consequences of collecting fleas that will ever bite. You will never get that honesty, let alone sanity, from the Left. Even Thatcher held back from standing against the middle-class unions like the medics, lawyers, teachers etc. Anyone who takes on the Left’s state, stuffed with dependency clients, will suffer continual self-centred whining and personal attack, just as Thatcher has never been forgiven by the union free-loaders. You do not really become universally popular by being honourable and effective, by tackling the vested interests. When do you see the Brown-Bliar Broadcasting Corporation interviewing real scientists? Most people will not understand them anyways. Instead you hear ‘spokesmen’ and captains of industry, or professional popularisers like Dawkins. David Cameron has a job to do cleaning up after the latest devastation by socialism. Most of the ‘advice’ I hear is just more of the vested interests hoping to gain an edge. Let’s hope that Cameron will be more independent-minded and do what is right. However, his power will be limited by the nature of human folly, just as Thatcher’s power was limited. And in the end, if he does what is right, he will also be plagued by the fleas just as Thatcher was and is. The political and media fleas tried to get rid of Cameron before he could recover the Conservative Party from John Major’s internal socialist coup, just as they managed to get rid of Ian Duncan Smith. Presently, the hacks in the leftist fossil media never stop carping. Anyone who expects statesmen to have an easy life does not study human foolishness.

having no degree is an essential qualification to lead socialist ‘new’ labour - livingsommat ‘New’ Labour broadcasting prepare 2010 socialist manifesto:
[Translation from SocialistSpeak in green text.] We need uneducated leaders, says ex-mayor.
Our main opposition is the BNP, says failed mayor.
Most people know we’re lying now says the screecher.
We have to appear thick if we are to win. That shouldn't be difficult, says this dumbo.
Down with this new-fangled technology, says Luddite.
We need emotionalism, brains are out. That’s let’s me in, she says.
We must pretend to care. I have a caring face.
We can still fool some of the people. Even I can manage that.
