I think the Tory strategy - of telling the truth about forthcoming cuts - is a winner. They almost get themselves into a position where they can do whatever they want in future, by saying that we had been warnecd in advance.

Does anyone really believe the Brown-Noser's version of events (when everyone knows they are already planning 10% across-the board cuts, but dare NOT talk about it until AFTER an election?)

Both parties are lying. At least the TORIES are giving some of the cuts.

The reality of the current situation is this :

Every person in the UK owes £22,500 in debt ( not including any interest ) because we have borrowed to pay off the BANKS to save the Bankers Jobs last October.

To get that back a Government needs to tax or cut to that level for at least 6 years - possibly 10 years.

It means that in reality : 20% cuts in some public services ( NHS and Education wont be cut so hard ) So I think anyone in the POLICE or LOCAL GOVERNMENT will see a 25% to 35% cut in jobs.

This has not been mentioned - yet already some councils are cutting up to 300 jobs immediately.

Council Tax is frozen under the TORIES ( Under Labour it will go up by 5% each year ) : either way that just keeps pace with the increasing cost of fuel etc.

If something goes wrong again ( another big bank fails ) then we could see our economy crash ( like California ) and wages not be paid or the IMF called in to loan money.

Our only hope is PRINTING MONEY ( Quantitative Easing ) where the Bank of England keeps printing money to pay wages and bills internally. So far £175 billion has been spent to keep us from crashing. But now that is running out some want to see a further £75 billion.

This basically is FUNNY MONEY - it is just PRINTED out of thin air - nothing to back it at all. So added to the Debt is this massive amount of money as well. What will happen over time is that this money will lead to INFLATION because the pound is effectively being devalued. So by the end of next year we can expect to see essentials go up in price by around 10 - 30% - the only barrier to them going up is the recession. If they print again then it could see not just fuel going up 40% ( as electricity and gas did in the last 12 months ) but everything.

Wage cuts are happening everywhere - and freezes. So in fact we are already seeing people having to pay by losing money against inflation. Wages may stay the same for around 10 years !!!! Thus helping the Government to balance the books - all the time inflation will be increasing - so people will be getting poorer by around £10 in £100 earned each year. Therefore by 2019 we could still be seeing the same wages but the prices in shops will be double what they are now. That is the risk that Gordon Brown has taken.

His "risk" says that we will return to fast growth quickly via stimulus. At the moment output is still dropping despite him putting in more money in the last 12 months than in the last 30 years put together.

It wont work because it is artificial. The real problem lies deeper than just money supply. The UK has developed a DEFORMED economy - it is heavy with "Public Service" money created by the taxes of the Private Sector. This means when the economy goes down in the Private Sector it cripples the Public Services and suddenly you see it all unravelling.

The whole of the years 2000 - 2009 have been built on a lie - a lie that we had money - when it was based on debt incurred on property or retail spending and public service wages that were quite simply wrong.

The TORIES are playing the "headline" game - yes it may be a winner in an election. Once they ( whoever they are ) are in power WE will all be LOSERS.

I dont think anyone quite understands how BAD this is.

BR

At least the Tories (and LibDems) admit how badfinances are - the Brown-Noser (the one who allowed this in the first place) just keeps saying that he will spend his way out of trouble,and will not admit cuts UNTIL AFTER the election.

When John Smith was open about cuts we voted Major in.

But the TORIES are still not being totally honest because it is 10 times worse than they are saying - and they are not stupid.

They are still hiding the truth from the voters - not as much as silly Gordon Brown and his bunch of clowns - but I can see civil unrest once the true scale of the problems are revealed after the next election.

If we get to an election ( there could be a war before then to delay it if Brown has his way - or an economic collapse ) then whoever gets in will have to have a deeply disturbing budge broadcast.

That broadcast will shock many people - most in fact. We have been lied to in such a deep way - that the pain of the problem will be far higher than anyone can imagine.

Perhaps a 50% pay cut for ALL public sector workers ( not just the Police ) or a 20% redundancy.....the choice may be given.

Then I can see inflation going up and an extra couple of million being added to the jobless - and finally we will see years of austerity - where the only aim will be survival ( food and fuel bills ) for 90% of the population. The BANKERS etc will live on in their rich lifestyle controlling the media and painting anyone who revolts as a terrorist.

BROWN has had the aim of making the POOR - POORER and his RICH FRIENDS RICHER. He has succeeded.

What makes me laugh is the irony of calling the TORIES "Toffs" when the richest people in Parliament and Politics are people like BLAIR ( earnt 12 million last year ) KINNOCK family ( on the EU gravy train ) DARLING ( ten times richer than Cameron for instance )

Going to ETON does not make someone richer - most of the richest people in the UK never went near the place - they are just friends of the NWO and New Labour.

This is the great sleight of hand by New Labour - aided by their mates at the BBC. The REAL RICH are the NWO - not the Tories. The Tories are old money - money not to excess but for the finer things in life - not based on greed but service and family. The SNOUT in the trough ideal is one created by BLAIR and followed by BROWN. MANDY is the HIGH PRIEST of this greed revolution/

I think you've spotted it BR - there won't be a May election. War is the most likely ("kill people to stay in power? Surely not!") but an economic crisis would suffice.

Brownolini - Il Duce?

War to save Browns skin? Well it worked fine with The Big Bad Thatch didnt it? Where are those Argentinian scrap metal dealers when a struggling Prime Minister needs them?

This crisis is comparable to the 1930s depression - but possibly worse because the debt spreads far wider than just those speculators who were burnt in 1929 - 1933.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to suggest one of those two possibilities.

A. War. This would allow us to re-start the economy by immediately increasing the workforce to make munitions and expanding the army. It worked for Hitler and Mussolini and dragged the USA out of their awful recession. The USA has form on this one - and I believe that a "War" scenario is the best chance for the USA economy.

B. Economic Crash. The price of gold is shooting up as the dollar ( and pound ) show signs of death. This is because the FED and BoE have printed too much funny money and so the USA and UK are teetering on the edge of a massive collapse. The media are pretending that it happened last October ( but it is happening right now as the Government runs out of options ) The UK has form on this one ( Tories and Falkland War and Tories and Iraq War 1 ) and I believe that for BROWN crashing the economy is his best bet. Then he can call a "Co-alition" Government.

Therefore the USA will want war - and BROWN will give in to the inevitable economic collapse.

Either of these things will delay the election next year. Swine Flu is the wildcard. In its current form it is no threat. If they ( NWO ) release the Bird Flu version they have then it could kill 4 in 10 people. There would be no vaccine against that and it is slated for potential release at the VANCOUVER WINTER OLYMPICS.

The next 3 years are the most exciting since World War 2.....the future of the World is in the balance.

It is fantastic to be living through such amazing historic times.

I agree with JK - what is on his EARTH TO KING collection could soon be "History" and something we look back to with fondness as we enter a new age - perhaps one of War for many many years as the USA tries to defeat Islam in the Middle East with a bigger force. The invasion of Iran and Pakistan with the nuclear confrontation that will bring.......

As I sit here listening to MAMA CASS singing "NEW WORLD COMING" I am positive that in the end the people will overthrow the warmongers in office and we can make the world a better place. No wonder they wanted to shut up Michael Jackson at this particular time in history.

I still believe in the values of LOVE and a COMMON HUMANITY of all RACES and RELIGIONS - like most people on this planet. There are more of us than the small elite warmongering rich banksters and their friends. We will prevail. It make take some time but I am convinced that those of us who believe in LOVE will truly inherit the earth ( as JC said in Matthew 5 ) My friends who are Muslims believe this as well I might add.
