Political Economy

I received the following email message from Frank Roseman, the English Democrats prospective parliamentary candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster (http://www.voteenglish.org/london-candidates/). Interestingly it looks as though Gordon is a snob, always toadying up to the wealthy.

“Just a few interesting facts about Gordon Brown

1 – We used to have 6 independent regulators to regulate the different
divisions of the financial services industry, including our Banks.

(Margaret Thatcher knew what the Banks were like and in the 1988
Finance Act she bound the Banks up in regulation to prevent them from
being reckless!!!)

Then Gordon Brown became Chancellor on 6th May 1997

Gordon’s banker friends said “We want all these regulators to go. We
don’t want regulators watching everything we do”

AND GORDON SAID OK

So, Gordon announced on the 20th May 1997 (2 weeks after becoming
Chancellor) that the six regulatory bodies would be broken up and a
new Financial Services Authority would replace them. The FSA had
virtually no powers over the Banks and he also took away the powers
from the Bank of England to enforce regulation on them.

The result is the devastation we are all suffering today.

————————————–

2 – We used to have a Monopolies and Mergers Commission

Then Gordon’s banker friends said we don’t want the Monopolies and
Mergers commission telling us who we can and cant “Take Over”

AND GORDON SAID OK

So, in 1998 Gordon scrapped the Monopolies and Mergers Commission and
created a replacement called the Competition Commission, with very
much reduced powers and different ideas of what used to be regarded
as a “Monopoly”.

The result is the Massive Corporations we have today who are ruling
and shaping our lives for their own benefit and profits. Not to
mention the massive Monopolies held by some of these corporations
through the forced purchases of all their competitors

————————————-

3 – We used to have pension regulations, which for many decades had
included something called “The Pensions Cap”

The pensions cap set a limit on how much pension any scheme member
(including directors) could get from an occupational pension scheme,
irrespective of how high their earnings were. It was there to protect
the ordinary members pensions, and to prevent Directors paying
themselves obscene salaries and then draining the pension funds with
huge pensions.

Then Gordon Brown’s banker friends said that they wanted the pensions
cap removing so that they could get pensions related to their obscene
earnings.

(The whole Pensions industry gave him warnings of the effects it would
have. Even the Inland revenue put forward objections)

BUT GORDON SAID OK

Because Gordon never likes to disappoint his banker friends

So Gordon took away the Pensions Cap in 2005 and then some of his
friends were able to leave their boardroom positions with huge
pensions!!!

For example Fred Goodwin [ex CEO of RBS] was apparently entitled to a
pension of over £700,000

If Gordon had left the pensions cap in place that would have been a
mere £125,000

Well done Fred and your mates!!!

(The Superannuations Division of the Inland Revenue have kept a record
of what it should be, in readiness for when we get a new chancellor
who sees fit to re-instate it. George Osborn has pledged to do that).
The record of Pensions Cap limits are available to view on the
Revenue’s website

The result of this is that along with Gordon’s “Tax Raid” on pension
funds starting July 1997, over four thousand UK company pension
scheme’s have closed their doors to new members and many of them have
had to close down altogether, leaving millions of workers without any
pension provision.

This man Gordon Brown “professes to be a socialist and “for” the working man

The working man’s main form of long term financial security had for
many years been his company pension scheme, something to look forward
to at the end of a life of hard work, his reward, light at the end of
a long dark tunnel.

Gordon has put an end to that by destroying the most valuable asset of
the average British worker.

*****************************

IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TRAVESTIES OF JUSTICE THAT THIS MAN WHO
PRETENDS TO BE “FOR THE WORKING MAN” HAS IN FACT BEEN HIS WORST ENEMY
FOR THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS AND WILL LEAVE A LEGACY THAT WE WILL STILL
BE CLEARING UP FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

THE REAL INJUSTICE IS THAT ITS ALL BEEN DONE IN AREAS WHICH ARE
TOTALLY OUT OF SIGHT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND BEYOND THE
UNDERSTANDING MANY

GORDON RELIES ENTIRELY ON PEOPLES IGNORANCE TO GET AWAY WITH HIS INDISCRETIONS

GORDON’S MOTTO OF: “DENY EVERYTHING AND ADMIT NOTHING”

SEEMS TO BE WORKING QUITE WELL FOR HIM SO FAR!!!

4 – LASTLY, WHAT GORDON LIKES TO CALL THE “GLOBAL BANKING CRISIS”

Have you noticed that we were the first to be in it and are the last
to be out (and whether we are out is very speculative!!!)

As he has openly admitted, The Royal Bank of Scotland was the worlds
biggest bank.

So when RBS and HBOS were about to go BUST in October 2008 and they
had to be bailed out overnight so they did not take the entire country
down with them, (that by the way was almost certainly a decision made
by the hierarchy in Whitehall for which

Gordon loves to take the credit)

As the worlds leading banks now all lend money to each other on a
collosal scale, isn’t it obvious that the worlds biggest bank going
down would have a devastating effect on all the others it dealt with.

This “worlds biggest bank” had also sold bad mortgage books to other banks.

Most of the Banks in Europe which ran into crisis were dragged into it
because of the crooked dealings of our big Banks. A fact that both
Germany and France were quick to remind Gordon Brown of at the G20
emergency meeting shortly after the crisis.

There are many other of Gordon’s indiscretions, far too many to list
here, but perhaps the few biggie’s shown above will give some insight
into how Gordon operates.

By the way have you noticed how he has suddenly become interested in
Social issues now an election is looming and seems to be able to
promise the world when, as Alistair Darling put it a few days ago,
there is not a penny left in the bank!!!

Think very carefully before casting your vote for this man who is
probably the most extreme capitalist of the past century while
pretending to be
“for the working man”.

GORDON WORSHIPS THE SUPER RICH AND POWERFUL AND CANNOT SAY NO TO THEM

Please pass this on to all you can, the whole population should know
these few facts before the election.”

Westminster is in a mess.The Economy is a mess. The war in Afghanistan is a mess. And British politicians in the main parties do what comes naturally. They dump on the English.

So the heavenly duo (they come from up there after all, don’t they) have come up with the bright idea of selling off English Assets. Gordo’s list of quick sales; the Dartford tunnel, the Chanel tunnel, the Tote and so on are all English. When he says that he will be asking local authorities to make sales of their assets he is referring only to English local authorities.

Note that he will not be selling off Scottish assets, even though the two worst offenders in the current Banking crisis are Scottish Banks. That is because Gordo, when he worked on the legislation to form the Scottish Parliament and give the Scots Home Rule, made quite sure that it completely protected the assets of Scottish local authorities so that Westminster could not direct the sale of their assets as he can those of English local authorities.

This means that every school playing field, every public space, every local airport, the pride and joy of the local people as well as a source of employment will be up for sale, quite possibly to foreign European companies flush with back-handers from their governments. And are they going to employ local workers or will they bus in their own people?

However when it comes to preserving their own power and egos it isn’t just plundering English assets that the heavenly duo are so good at. They also deal a good hand in cynicism. On Wednesday  14th October 2009 the government announced a plan to spend £12 million in 130 white working class wards. Where is this money coming from? From the £16 billion of English Assets. In other words the Labour government intends to buy votes in next years general election by returning to the English less than 0.1% of the money it gets from selling their playing fields, leisure centres and employment opportunities.

The Tories are no better. Despite the fact that their web site calls them the English Tories their leader, David Cameron, is on record as saying “I do not want to be the Prime Minister of England”. Well Mr Cameron, the Leader of an English Parliament would be the First Minster, as in the Scottish Parliament. Only someone totally uninterested in England and the English could make that mistake.

The best that can be said about the Liberal Democrats is that they simply ignore England.

Only a few days ago the Sun newspaper transferred its allegiance to the Tories from Labour. Gordo’s response was proudly to  announce that it wasn’t the Sun that would decide who ruled at the next general election, it would be the British People.

Wrong, Gordo! it is the English people, as always, who will decide who rules next.

Will they vote for Gordo, the financial genius who sold off more than half of England’s gold at $275 and ounce or $3.5 billion when at today’s price of  $1063 per ounce it would have been worth $13.5 billion, the financial genius who claimed to have put an end to booms and busts, the financial genius who claimed to have saved the world?

Will they vote for Cameron, surely he must be a Scot, who cares so little for the English that he has stated that he doesn’t even want to lead them?

Will they vote for Nick Clegg, a man indifferent to the aspirations of the English?

Or will they vote for a party that will put England first, that wants England to be a nation once again, a party that cares for England, English jobs and English assets?

Only time will tell!
