Grumpy Old Man Rants

British Gas v the Bankers

You know me I hate the unjustness of fat cats, but yesterday I was amazed about 2 news stories that followed each other on the British news broadcasts.

1. British Gas have made  £530 million profit, they do supply half the countries gas and as the spokesman said that is only £3.00 profit per household per week, and considering all the investment they have to put in surprisingly I think that is not to bad, we know they buy the gas on the spot market and we are still using gas the bought 2 years ago.

2. RBS banking group 83% owned by the British tax payer made a 4.3 billion loss, and still are going to pay there money grubbing suits some 1.3 billion in bonuses. So just how good are these suits, when they can steer the bank to a 4.3 billion loss and still expect a bonus! I am gobsmacked if I was in charge of RBS I would be sacking the lot of them for incompetence. Oh I forgot we are the owners of the RBS, so why are the media not raising the roof about this, then the boss of the RBS has the cheek to say, well the exchequer will be getting a big tax windfall! but its the exchequers money in the first place, they would be better off repaying us with the 1.3 billion so come on Alistair slap a 100% tax on all bank bonuses they don’t deserve them.

Asbos

So its costing us 5.8bn a year to issue and maintain asbos, and it would seem thta they don’t work so why bother, when will our leaders grow some and get to the root of the problem. I have said this before and I will probably say ti many more times. Bring back public birchings, stick the arseholes in the stocks for a month or just hung them they just a waste of a good skin, so wipe them out. I am sure the only ones who will miss them will be the people whos lives a made a misery by them.

Come on Gord take some firm action, and the sort the bastards.

Aaaaargh

Billy Bragg witholds his Tax

Well done Billy. I have admired his music for many years, and now he is kicking back against the greedy bankers. I totally agree with his stand on tax witholding, if the government does not cap these greedy bankers with their noses in the trough. These people are just obscene in the way they just grab vast lumps of dosh for nothing, well not really nothing how about plunging us into massive recession with sharp practices. I cannot believe that these people are really going to be given more money in a bonus that probably exceeds about 100 families yearly income, it is just not acceptable.

aaargh

Reasonable Force

I think that if someone enters my house or place of work, threatens me or my family, I have the perfect right to kick the crap out of them if I can. I am not a man of violence but I am sick and tired of people getting away with ruining my life and the lives of other people. Why should the mindless bunch of morons be allowed to rule our country with their now consequence culture. The courts say wait for the Police to deal with them, I don’t think so they just do not seem to have the time to attend until several hours after the event, mostly when it’s all over, I don’t blame the police they are undermanned and busy chasing the motorists to get their tally’s up. I blame the liberal nanny state that we seem to have fallen into these days, where winning is frowned on, discipline is non existent, and our kids can’t play hopscotch or conkers in case they hurt themselves, and their parents sue the schools to make a fast buck.

So our kids can’t play games to keep themselves fitter, yet they are all growing into lard-arses without any exercise, they are not taught that if they do something that offends the community, they will be punished, and not a caution a full scale birching would seem to fit the bill. I would like our kids to be taught that life has consequences, and then maybe I wouldn’t have to be arrested for beating the crap out of intruders to my home.

but its all a pipe dream

what do you think?

AAAAArghhhhhh

Christmas Eve and Alls well!

Well its christmas eve and my Wife has decided to cook the dinner this year, normally my task. We are having Belizean Stew Pork, rice and beans fried plantain, belizean stuffing and potato salad. She is busy cooking the Pork and it smells yummy but her mood whoa. I dont seem to remember ranting when I do the cooking. I probably do but I don’t remember it.

Still the dinner will be great I am sure and it’s a change for me not to be slaving away in the kitchen.

Climate Change

Well the climate of our planet has been up an down over the ages. I seem to remember that this is what I was taught at school. I do agree that the emmisions did get to a dodgey level back in the sixties, I remember the London Smogs where you could not see your hand in front of your face, but these are a thing of the past certainly in the UK. I really think that in the case of the UK government it is a way to screw out more taxes in the name of the global welfare. Sure we do need to keep polution down to the bare minimum but why have meeting that probably emit more gases and cost a small fortune. It’s just a jolly.

Bankers the Wa_nkers

Well I think that if the Banks ignore our Gord and pay out these obscene payments to 5000 of their creatures, the Taxman should Tax them on their salaries at 100% so perhaps we can claw back some of the dosh we bailed the arsholes with. It makes me spit blood, they ensured by fair means or foul, to stiffle the bank charges case which poor people like me have been stung by these greedy men. then decide to pay out billions to their cronies.

British Bankers

Aaaaaarghhhhhhh.

Well I am not suprised

I could have written the script. After being told by high court and lords at least twice that they are a robbing shower, the Banks find another court to finally agree with them. I wonder how many of the judges are on the boards of these Banks. It really is wrong when these schisters can keep apealing till they get a court to agree with them. I believe there are several million people who are affected by this, so come on people lets all start appeals against this shabby ruling by lets face it dodgy judges, who have no need for money coz they have very full accounts and probably even fuller now. Don’t let them get away with it flood the bastards with litigation.  I am sure that Martin Lewis will have something to say http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/reclaim/2009/11/bank-charges-result-qa-what-to-do-now

It would appear that the FSA has lifted its suspension so come on people get your claims in now and tie the robbing gits  up. If several million people put in claims somethings got to give.

AAAArgh

I really can’t believe it

So you cannot allow your friends to look after your children for more than 14 times a year the government have decreed, what is there problem. This land of ours is becoming a land of restrictions on normal caring people, unlike the parents who just leave there kids unattended and running riot. Someone told me that around 3000 people are now jumping ship a day, I find this figure hard to believe but if it is true well I don’t blame them, I am certainly ditching the UK next year coz it is a dying nation run buy greedy politicos and the yob culture.

aaaarrghhhh

Our sloping shouldered government

Well am I wrong but I thought that out borders were controlled by immigration to stop the influx of illegals. So why are they going after people who employ them with fines of up to £5000, once again  they are trying to deflect the blame for theirshortcomings, when in reality the illegals should not have been allowed in. So once they are here and they want to work instead of going on benefits whats the problem. Poor old Lady Scotland but really how many people who are not so high profile have been done without the press front paging it.
