Dispatches on C4 ~ Britain's Secret Fat Cats
Posted by: naim_nymph on 16 March 2011
Interesting programme on how this despicable Tory Bankers Government's so called 'Big Society' is a highly dishonest scam to privatise the welfare state for the benefit of chosen 'boys in the club' bosses to get multi million pound salaries... with multi million pound shares... and multi million pound pensions

We’re all in this together - they’re getting rich by robbing us!
C4 seems to me to be the TV version of Morning Star - they are on a mission.
I like controversial press & TV, but with the whole big picture. I do not need to be influenced by left wing journalists or monotone politicians like Ed Balls or sticky sweet David Cameron clones.
We all need a varied political diet, no one side has all the answers, even bankers are good for us - sometimes. But the press needs to be something that keeps minds open, not a one track opinion as this C5 stuff seemed to aimed at. - all IMO of course.
Big Society is just a figleaf. It's a concession to New Labour rhetoric just like all the macho Tory soundbites about 'squeegee merchants' in the early days of Blairism. As soon as they can convince enough people that it's cool not to care they'll drop it.
Big Society (or B.S. for short) is a lot of things to different people, but just as the privatisations of British Rail, British Gas, Electricity, BT, etc have all failed us completely with worse public services yet succeeded to inflict highly inflated prices and make executive managers more money than ever imaginable under public ownership, these ongoing privatisations of local authorities and council services will not only commit to follow suit but will be darn near impossible to reverse back to the public sector when 'joe public' eventually realises what a big fat con job it really is.
The Tory Bankers Government know only too well they are ripping us off (and with impunity) because they know they will get away with it. Their game plan is to take as much money away from middle and low earners to fund a class of privileged chosen people who will get disgustingly rich.
Everyone ought to watch this very informative programme, it’s only 48 minutes long and produces yet more evidence and insight to the ongoing injustice of UK wealth disparity.

The costs of the unavoidable fixed bills such as Rent, Council Tax, and Water Rate are such that they amount to nearly 65 per cent of my monthly wage. Buying CDs? That is a joke!
Not running a car either [for more than 12 months now, and only about 1000 miles PA for the last five years before that], and one holiday in the last twelve months - going to Poland for two weeks, Even considering the £38 for the Dover Dunkirque ferry [four of us and a car] it was actually cheaper to be on holiday in Poland for me than exist here in the UK, in spite of the four way share on about £180 on petrol for the journey ...
Last week I applied for housing benefit, at least till I can find a cheaper rent, but that is definitely not going to be easy with the University Students providing a neat bit of competition for the local workforce trying to find rented accommodation at a cost that can actually be afforded on normal wages.
There is not much left to squeeze really. And if they do then it would be better to find one's self with debilitating back-pain and malinger...
Of course I would never fake an illness, but many will if it is the only way to survive.

It seems to go over their head's when I point out it took me years to put it together
No Naim gear owned by me any more - more is the pity! The only rather remote connection I have with the Naim marque is the wish that one day I may be loaned a Nait One or Two by a friend. The brand is too rich for me at present!
