You cannot solve a problem without fully understanding what the problem is. Yesterday parliament passed a bill that stops anybody arriving in a small boat from ever getting a citizenship here. This is supposed to make these refugees from getting in a small boat.

Clearly this is not going to stop them, because they are escaping from tyranny. There is no going back for them. If they genuinely wish to stop the boats they should look at hoe the Americans took away the earnings from the mafia selling alcohol. Prohibition was an obvious mistake as those who like their drink will find it one way or another.

This situation is no different. We can allow these people to arrive here and process their claim. If they are not genuine refugees they can be put on the next available flight and sent back with minimal cost us.

You cannot send people back to Libya, Iran Afghanistan and a few other places too. It is inhuman.

This morning was a very interesting subject with Matthew Wright. Clueless as usual but trying to understand why the younger generation is not happy. He even did not understand the situation and kept saying they do not feel proud of their country.

Out pops a truly remarkable lady born in 1945 to explain to him that there is nothing to be proud of Britain when you examine our establishment and what they caused around the world.

Then he kills it by allowing an true SwineCunt to come on the airwaves and blame it all on the Marxist teachers in the 50s and the 60s.

Anyway so what is really wrong with Britain today and lets say 50 years ago. Well what has changed and not changed is clear to see.

First of all what has changed:
1. The wealthy have got wealthier and the rest have got poorer.
2. The ratio of house prices to annual earning were 3 or 4 times the annual salary and now is is between 10 and 20 times depending on where you live.
3. The wages have not kept up with inflation so everything is more expensive now as well as the gap between the worker and the CEO's wages gap has grown exponentially.
4. Pharma corporations have been milking the NHS for decades with no end in sight.
5. Care Homes are mostly private and if anybody ends up in them they normally lose their homes.
6. There is an increase in number of corporations who avoid tax by being allowed to declare themselves as charities despite the fact that there is nothing charitable in what they do.
7. In the 50s and the 60s one wage per household was enough to live on and now even two or more is not enough sometimes.

What has not changed:
1. The wealthy are still able to avoid inheritance tax and avoid paying income tax.
2. NHS is being milked by all the companies not just Pharmas

So really the solution is not hard to fathom.
1. Collect all the taxes
2. Build low cost and social housing
3. Increase wages
4. Cap property prices so they at least stop going up.

Today mainstream media was having a field day about how they must increase defense spending in order to be able to defeat a Russian invasion. Clearly 6 millions plus people who have to claim food from food banks is no concern to them

What is really interesting is the fact that last time this country was invaded was in 1066. Since then they have invaded countless countries and still occupy many countries but their fear is being invaded. There is an old saying "Hirsiz hirsizlikdan gorkar - a thief is afraid of being robbed".

Can we really afford to defend ourselves aginst Russia if they should decide to invade us. We have as much chance of defending ourselves as much as Cyprus has to defend herself against Turkey Or any of the Arab countries have defending themselves against Israel while USA is backing them.

There is only one way to live and that is to live in peace and allow trade freely. There is no need for war then.

We are saved.

We have a military which would not fill up a football stadium but we will be war ready to fight impoverish little places so we can continue to suck their resources like blood.
