Micro Credit:
Posted by: Berlin Fritz on 11 November 2006
Chaps! This is a subject that has fascinated me for some years now and I think in essence highlights one of the finer traits in human nature. I believe it originated in Bangladesh, having progressed now to many other Asian & African regions bringing real hope, dignity, & self -respect to millions of people on the ground (NOW). Bill Clinton to Sir Bob have mentioned it on occassion (noticably not Brown etc though). Don't confuse this with the Muslim Banking methods which do not allow interest to be involved (God forbid literally) and obviously the likes of Our Mick and other IFA's would be terrified of them because they'd have absolutely no control over their victims (sorry clients), innit*
Fritz Von A subject that should be investigated I feel, as in reality as the Majority of the Western World gets poorer in its greed to compensate others having clean drinking water and a bit of rice now and again, such micro-credits or variations upon the same theme many may well 'have' to be utilised in Our little world too, the obvious and unfortunate alternative being what until now mankind has always adopted, namely, WAR*
Happy Days*
P.S. Great to see that Our Deano & his mates will always have a bed on Hyde Park Corner from today on innit*

Fritz Von I was lovingly looking over some very early posts of mine on here from 2003ish where the main tone of comments from others was, Why is he here? This man is Loony, etc, etc, It's so nice to see how things have improved over the years,now that so much more trust has been gained, innit*
Yer can hardly keep Our Mick off of my single thread these days can yer, Bless Him!
When naive opportunist wallys like Brown mention Africa etc, I feel faint. Sir Bob Has always maintained that these countries must learn to feed themselves (this is the very essence of it all) they are well aware the west will never want them all fed, and are well aware to date through interest locked debt that
they never intended to, it's basically rape each land after the other of it's recources, China in Africa looks different though I feel:
Parry is a fool on matters Internationally fiscal, plain and simple*

For your information Our Acad, that is excatly why I am here Son*
Fritz Von Does anybody know the series Inspector Beck (from Sweden), Brilliant stuff indeed, touch of Morse about it even in the scripts I feel*
N.B. I had to pass up on some excellent home made Pedigree Chum Ruby at the Chief's earlier as I know what it would have led to afterwards on the old just one for the road stakes unfortunately, but priorities and sacrifices must be made I suppose, and a clear head for the mornings confrontation regarding my future welfare*

Tony Blair described it as childish silliness making Lord Gnome's day bigstyle. I bet when Our Jack becomes the next PM he'll have it read to him by Brown*

I hate genning up on stuff, but I suppose one has to play the game to please non event people, innit*

What a Prize Plonker! Really:
Fritz Von Way past his bedtime too*
Still on the subject of natural born heros, I've just enjoyed watching the back end of Shafzt with Sam Jackson & special appearance from Dicky Rountree, plus naturally the brilliant music from the legendary Isaac Hayes, must get some shut eye methinks.
Goodnight*

Well Chaps that was a highly successful moaning's work. My interview went splendidly and I'll now have a few extras bobs at last to survive yet another central heating-less winter. As well as Fuel money for the whole winter, I also got my tax statement for this year, all of which I'll have returned to my account in January.(Jan - Dec fiscal year here and in the real world), unfortunately living in the real world of survival (What Parry calls scrounging for some inexplicable reason, and he should know, innit?) along woth the 1 Million+ (ever increasing) jobless scroungers in the UK who moan about poor Poles nicking their jobs, lazy gits. Germany much larger population and integrated immigrant community proves that UK is not alone, and when I think that Cpl Carpetchewer had a mega-immigrant German Population to attack in the early 30's, where Britain had virtually none, they were made to stay in the Colonies (until needed?).
Fritz Von Just got in a nice breakfast too!
P.S. I didn't say anything about a job interview (unfortunately) this is the real world, and I use my own computer at my expense )Parry will dissagree) unlike most of you at work, bored shitless or management naturally (not too mention Public Servants wasting er,. taxpayers dosh instead of working for them).
N.B. Unfortunately I see the BNP getting ever more support in the UK, I wonder why that is then Chaps?
Can yer tell what it is yet?
P.P.S. This is not boasting irrespective of what some may think it is, it's information from the street Ladies, poor & simple*

A Colonel once said to me (shouted rather) "Oy What's your game young Sir?" as I was putting the Ensign to half mast on the Yardarm as HMS Sheffield had just been hit. He answered "You'll bloody well put it so when I tell you to and not before, Our Chaps are getting killed in Belfast all the bloody time" He was quite right of course.
Fritz Von Naturally after the conflict, Maggie ousted 35,000 Service jobs, as well as those highly exxperienced 'irreplacable' talents that resigned or cut their careers short in disgust.
Naturally it's not talked abaat John*

Micro Credits are actually a great idea for the Third World; it just needs (like so much else) political will to get them going, something those still nostalgic for Thatchernomics wouldn't get.
Try it in the UK, of course, and you get Farepak - a handful of greedy b*s and thousands of penniless sods banging at the locked gates.

Knowledge is to understand
To understand who you are.
If you know not who you are
What's the use of learning?
The aim in learning is
To understand God's Truth.
Because without knowledge
It is wasted hard labour.
Do not say: I know it all,
I am obedient to my God.
If you know not who God is
That is sheer idle talk.
Twenty-eight syllables
You read from end to end.
You name the first `alpha''
What can it possibly mean?
Yunus Emre says also
Let me receive what I need.
The best possible thing
Is to find perfect peace.

Chaps the Urbane pics are all very nice but I cannie help thinking that we've seen them all afore in this place (or am I wrong again?) some new ones would be lovely innit*
Fritz Von Not having purchased or drunk out of a can for some three years now I think this is a good way forward (all have �0,75 deposit on them these days), similarly I never get plastic bags in the supermarket anymore either as they now cost �0,10 a go, literally throwing away my hard earned dosh. I use my trusty new rucksack and a couple of muslim bags which are very strong too for those important packages*
You know it makes sense, innit*

Farcepak may have been based in Swinetown but its super-rich directors appear to live in Chelsea, Henley, etc. And good luck to them! They deserve everything they get. Ahem:

Cheers for that Our Rupe. Strangely enough whilst recently reading some London based 'Age Exchange' literature regarding the poor War & Post Wartime London scene, the Classic running off with the Christmas Club takings was quite common, this load of twats seem to have been 'responsible' for doing exactly the same thing though on a grander scale*

The Great leader Blair harps on endlessly about the kind State helping Addicts with detox programms etc, and now we know what he means. I suppose alchoholics who are immediately forced to go dry are not in this number?It's a point to remind one that many thousands in prison are still awaiting trial and are assumed innocent, this is a disgrace of the highest odour and once again I smell Group 4 etc profit ,making.
Contemporary Conscious Torture by the State:
Fritz Von They'll be telling us next that female prisoners getting pregnant by rape are forced to have abortions inside!*

Bobby Boy! I would say the tough bit is that your'n and Our Mick's hard earned taxes are being paid out after a decision in a court of Law. A precedent that will be interesting to say the least, drugs, alcohol and sex are readily available in British jails allowing that the customer can pay naturally, and the 'Private Untrained Morons' from the likes of Group 4 turn a blind eye with a bung. That's what's really tough Old Bean, and when this all reaches a crises overcrowding point and some real juicy cases of evidence are finally smuggled out of the nick, all hell will really break lose, that's what really will be tough John*

Fredders Old Son Lovely pictures you old drunkard you!
Fritz Von Irrespective of what Our Bruce and others have previously mentioned upon the subject on here in the past, Heroin is used daily in the UK (BIGSTYLE) as a Cancer+ painkiller, as here in Europe as well as other countries lucky enough to be able to supply it, so let's cut out the BULLSHIT² Chaps eh?
Fritz Von And No! It doesn't come from Fuckin Switzerland it comes indirectly from er, Afghanistan, etc, and the sooner we get real about it the better for all, innit*
P.S. Nobody in their right mind (even Moir) is suggesting that a certain percentage of crime isn't drug related in the Uk (as Our Andy would agree if he could but he can't until he retires, Maybe?). Alcohol kills more youngsters etc than any other factor, so wise up and learn from the reality of your society, or don't and continue blaming easy targets*
There are villains out there and in our nicks who've never taken drugs in their lives and they're the GREAT majority*

I think the Latin is:
"I screwed my life up taking drugs, beat the crap out of an old lady to steal £40 so I could buy more drugs and they took me off the state-sponsored drug rehab programme when I went to prison and boo hoo I just wanna be loved and now I'm suing and the only winner is the lawyer who prosecutes the case."
Cold turkey sounds pretty nasty.
Being forced on someone when they could be weaned via methadone does seem unnecessarily brutal.
Regardless of the above, I still have a Daily Mail/Mick Parry type reaction to paying compensation to druggies who are forced to get clean when they go to prison.
How many people put themselves through this intentionally? Is it the best way to come off and stay off?
I've made it clear I see the point of prison for an addict being to get them off drugs. Does "pampering" via Methadone achieve this better or worse than cold turkey?
cheers, Martin
John! Irrespective of the torture argument, if these people recieve compensation (compared to them previously having nowt financially) I whole-heartedly believe they should be forced to compensate their victims (during a reasonable time frame) with it, bottom line the taxpayer still pays!

Fritz:
P.s: If you want soldiers to protect your 'rights', don't expect wallys to be at your beck and call 24/7 either Mr Parry especially who obviously knows nothing about nothing, he only thinks he does*
