Budget, War, Polls, Independence.

I have been neglecting my blog for a while now, so here goes. Last week George Osbourne gave his fat cat billionaire friends a massive tax break. He also gave the poorer section of society a very tiny slice of the cake. What he actually did was rob the middle classes of hard earned money to pay for all this. The man is a thief, a liar and a cheat. Fuel prices are the highest thy have ever been and they will continue to rise till August when Osbourne will slap another three pence tax on to fuel prices. The reason being that he knows full well that there is a 70% at least chance that there will be a huge middle east war in the near future and the government will need money to pay for it. It will also need manpower to fight it. By a lucky coincidence we have upwards of one and a half million young people under the age of 25 that are unemployed and have absolutely no chance of finding a job any time soon. Guess what will happen to them. Correct, conscription into the armed forces. The only uncertainty is where and when this war will take place. The where can be narrowed down to Syria and Iraq. The when can be narrowed down to a point at which it is possible that Obama will be losing the fight to stay in the white house. In that event it could be possible to postpone the US elections to facilitate continuity of government to fight the war. The newly signed executive order N.D.A.A. could possibly be used to justify such a decision. Pure speculation on my part, but it could be possible.
The latest public opinion polls issued today here in the UK show that the Labour party are at least four percentage points ahead of Cameron's billionaires, sorry Tories. Who cares? Whoever is voted in would treat us in the same way. As I have said before, they are all the same and answer to the same paymasters. The only answer is not to vote in any election be it general, European or council. Let's see how they handle that little scenario.
Back to Scottish independence. We in Scotland have been told for years by the people of England that they are fed up subsidising us. Tory MP's have been saying the same. Why, then is David Cameron so intent on keeping us in the union? Could it actually be that it is us in Scotland who are subsidising England? My own standpoint is that I would like Scotland to be independent, but not at all costs. Alex Salmond wants us to be independent in Europe and I think is toying with the idea of us joining the Euro. On those two points our paths diverge. In my humble opinion, joining the EU and the Euro would be a huge mistake. I just have to look across the water to Ireland to see just what could happen to us. To me, independence means on our own and not tied to Brussels. If that is the case then we might as well stay in the union.
That is all for now.
