As you’ll know, the EU is demanding an extra £1.7bn from Britain because of the UK’s supposed “growth”. But let’s look at where this “growth” may be coming from.
In the last 15 years, about 8 million people have moved to the UK. Of these, around 5 million are non-EU and 3 million from the EU. Now let’s look at unemployment amongst these immigrants (click to see more clearly).
Over 35% of non-EU and 25% of EU immigrants don’t work. But what do these people cost us?
1. Non-EU – there are 5 million non-EU immigrants of whom at least 35% (1.75 million) are parasites. Assuming each of these people costs us about £10,000 a year in benefits (unemployment, housing, child credits, council tax support etc) and public services (schooling for their children, healthcare, policing etc) then that’s £17.5bn the Government has to borrow to support the multi-cultural enrichment these people bring to our country
2. EU – there are 3 million EU immigrants of whom at least 25% (750,000) don’t work. Again, taking a cost per person of £10,000, that gives us another £7.5bn the Government has to borrow to pay for benefits and services for these people.
So, adding the £17.5bn for unemployed (and unemployable?) non-EU immigrants and the £7.5bn for unemployed EU immigrants, we get £25bn a year (increasing every year as more immigrants pour in) – and that’s equivalent to 1.5% of our GDP
But we’re not finished yet. A family of four has to earn £35,000 a year to pay more in tax than it takes in benefits and services. How many of the 5.5 million working immigrants earn more than £35,000? I’ve no idea. But let’s be generous and say it’s 10%. That leaves us 4.95 million immigrants who are costing us money.
How much are they costing us in benefits and public services? Maybe £2,000 per year each? That’s another £9.9bn the Government has to borrow each year. With me so far?
OK, there’s a lot of guesswork here. But this “back of a fag packet” calculation suggests that Britain’s 8 million immigrants are costing us at least £34.9bn a year – 2% of GDP
Then you have to add in all the benefits paid to British-born people who can’t get jobs because immigrants have taken them.
Our great Chancellor claims our economy is growing and this has led to the useless EU demanding another £1.7bn from us. But as far as I can see, all this growth has come from the Government borrowing money to give to immigrants.
And, of course, if you look at GDP/capita (rather than GDP), you’ll see we’ve actually been getting poorer since the 2008 economic crash which led to a tsunami of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe
So, we’re paying an extra £1.7bn to the EU even though there hasn’t actually been any real economic growth for the last 6 years. What a total disaster!
It’s almost pathetic watching the shallow, PR spiv Dodgy David Cameron squealing about the EU’s demand for £1.7bn when he probably knew all about it months ago. But Dodgy is trying to look tough ahead of the Rochester by-election.
But hopefully the EU’s latest attack on cash-cow Britain has shown even the stupidest Brits that the EU is NOT a “Club” dedicated to free trade. It’s really just a wealth transfer system – a bit like our tax and benefits- whereby those that earn the most have to give huge sums to those that are too lazy or ignorant to work. The puffed-up, arrogant French, for example, with their 35-hour week and early retirement, will be getting the biggest slug of Britain’s £1.7bn. How they must be laughing.
We are being made to pay for the Eurozone’s failures just as ordinary British taxpayers have to pay for those in Britain – up to 80% of Somalis, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Afghanis – who have no intention of ever working (or at least working in a job where they have to declare their income) and who intend to spend their lives sponging off the fools who do work and do pay taxes.
Here’s a chart showing the extent of the Eurozone’s failures. It shows the level of unemployment by country for all citizens (the red columns) and for the under-25s (the blue columns) (click to see more clearly)
As you’ll see, some countries are little short of catastrophes – Greece, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Portugal and of course professional parasite France.
But not only is the Eurozone a disaster, it’s getting worse by the day. Here’s a chart showing the trend in unemployment for the under-25s in a few key EU countries (click to see more clearly)
Greece, Spain, Italy, France and the overall Eurozone are not really going in the right direction.
So, the latest £1.7bn bill won’t be the last. We’ll be paying ever more for many years to come to subsidise the Eurozone countries that are collapsing due to the incompetent economic policies of the corrupt, wasteful, over-paid, over-pensioned EU elites and the idleness or tax-dodging of their populations.
Time to leave the “EU Club” before it bankrupts us?
After 13 years of fighting – longer than WWI and WWII together – and with 453 killed and 2,188 wounded – British troops finally leave Afghanistan.
But are we marching out in triumph? Or scuttling away in humiliating defeat? (click on images to see more clearly)
Our military bosses, with their honours, knighthoods, peerages, massive pensions and often well-paid jobs in defence companies tell us that British troops achieved a lot and the sacrifices (made of course by young soldiers, not them) were worth it. But even the new Defence Secretary had to admit that the Taliban was still waging a bloody insurgency and there was no guarantee of a stable future.
I suspect that most of the British public sense that, apart from the first couple of months when the Taliban were pushed out in the initial invasion, the whole thing was a disaster caused by incompetent, self-serving, money-grabbing generals sycophantically grovelling to vainglorious politicians in order to advance their own lousy careers.
Oh, and given that most of our political and military leaders claim that our Afghan mission was a success, shouldn’t we start sending back some of the 400,000 or so Afghans now living in Britain? After all, if their country is now so ‘safe’ and there has been so much ‘reconstruction’, I’m sure they’d all love to go back, rather than staying in cold, wet Benefits Britain.
I’ve just seen the new boss at Tesco explain his plan for rebuilding his collapsing business – “We need to rethink and re-energise around the customer agenda”.
OK, it’s fairly easy to work out what he means. But where on earth did he learn to speak like that? And why?
Like so many other once great British companies, that used to be run by people who knew their business inside out, Trashco now seems to be run (and ruined) by management-gobbledigook-spouting buffoons.
Anyway, if you love management gobbledigook, here’s a management gobbledigook generator that will give you hundreds of impressive-sounding, totally meaningless phrases and sentences that you can use to stun your colleagues and impress your idiotic boss:
You just click on the “New Phrase” button and you’ll get your own carefully-crafted inanities to spout at your next meeting.
And who knows? If you become fluent in management gobbledigook, you could earn millions of pounds a year running one of Britain’s great companies into the ground and then millions more as a pay-off just to get rid of you.
But before I left, I thought I’d leave you with a little “Spot the Differences” competition.
So, can you spot the differences between Nazis and *sl*mists?
Now there is another “Spot the Differences” competition we could play: – Can you spot the differences between a “moderate M*sl*m” and an “*sl*mist?” – but it’s probably wise to avoid that question for the moment.
I’m sure you’ll understand my reluctance to launch the second competition.
1. The murderous rampage of the *sl*m*c State in Syria and Iraq?
2. The hacking to death and attempted beheading of Drummer Lee Rigby in London by M*sl*m converts Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale?
3. The murder of a Canadian policeman on Monday this week by Martin Couture-Rouleau a M*sl*m convert?
4. The murder of a Canadian reservist soldier on Wednesday this week by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau a M*sl*m convert?
5. The Thursday, 7 July 2005 London terrorist attack when four British M*sl*m men detonated four bombs—three in quick succession aboard London Underground trains across the city and, later, a fourth on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square killing 52 civilians and injuring over 700?
6. The beheading of 82-year-old pensioner and cafe owner Palmira Silva in Edmonton, north London by a M*sl*m convert?
7. The kidnapping, torture and murder of a young Jewish student in Paris by M*sl*m youths who phoned the victim’s parents and recited verses from the K*r*n while the victim screamed in agony?
8. The recent stonings in Syria of women suspected of adultery?
9. The impending execution of a Christian woman in Pakistan for allegedly insulting a certain religious figure whilst out picking berries with some M*sl*m women?
10. The brutal murders of thousands of Nigerian Christians and kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian Christian schoolgirls by *sl*mist group Boko Haram?
11. Axe attack on New York police by M*sl*m man?
Well, according to our great leader, David “K*r*n” Cameron, none of these have anything at all to do with *sl*m which is ” a tolerant, peaceful religion totally compatible with Western democracy“.
Oh well, that’s all right then. We should not fear our country being swamped by people who may not exactly share our values of decency, tolerance, free speech and equality.
By the way, the country that Cameron uses as an example of democracy and *sl*m being compatible is Turkey. What Cameron doesn’t mention is that Turkey is becoming increasingly extremist, corrupt and undemocratic with the ruling *sl*mist party ever more intolerant of any challenges to its power and its corruption.
Our greedy, expenses-fiddling, financially-incontinent politicians are always looking for new ways to take ever more of our money. One of the best tricks for doing this, without appearing to raise taxes, is to make us start paying directly for things that used to be covered by our taxes. In order to ease these changes in, first we’re told we’ll only have to pay a small amount. Then, when we get used to paying, the politicians shove up the cost.
A great example of this is university tuition fees. Here are the four steps to milking us:
1. When New Labour first introduced these in 1998, they were only £1,000 a year and we were told this would cover a quarter of the real cost of going to university
2. In 2004, New Labour increased fees from just £1,000 a year to £3,000 a year
3. By 2010, fees had gone up with inflation to £3,290 a year
4. In 2012, the Coalition cut taxpayer funding to universities and moved the cap for tuition fees to an amazing £9,000. Well-known jobby-jabber, Lord Browne, who led the Browne Review which resulted in this rise, assured us that very few institutions would push fees up to the maximum £9,000. In fact 64 universities went for the whole £9,000 a year, with the remaining 59 setting their fees at £6,000 and above:
I guess one lesson to learn from this is ‘never trust a politician or a Mandelsonian botty-botherer’.
So, in just 14 years, most students (except for those in Scotland) went from no tuition fees at all to paying an eye-watering £27,000 for a 3-year university course. Plus, of course, most students (except those from poorer families) no longer get grants. So they have to borrow even more money to pay their living costs. Truly our thieving, self-serving rulers know how to screw us while feathering their own nests.
But the funniest thing of all is that the default rate for students paying back their debts is shooting up and soon the government will be getting less money from the £9,000 per year fees than it did when fees were just £3,000 a year. This means our students are running up massive, almost unrepayable debts which will prevent them buying homes and starting families for absolutely no purpose at all. What a disaster!
But as they say: “there is nothing so bad that thieving, lying, arrogant, incompetent politicians can’t make it worse”.
Oh, and if the useless t*rd Ed Miliband wants to get elected, he just needs to promise to cut tuition fees down to say £5,000 a year. That would leave the Tories and LibDems utterly stranded with no response and it wouldn’t cost the Government any money as more students would be able to repay their loans. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Readers might get depressed reading my endless predictions of gloom and doom and impending national bankruptcy. So, on a more cheerful note, things are much worse in Russia.
I recently bought a dashboard camera on Amazon for my car after seeing a TV documentary about “cash for crash” fraudsters who deliberately slam on their brakes in front of you so they can claim compensation for whiplash and other fictitious injuries.
One thing that surprised me was that the instructions were in Russian and English.
Then I found out that many Russians have these dashboard cameras in their cars because of a new national sport – throwing yourself in front of a car to get compensation.
Problem is that many Russians don’t seem very good at it:
I hope this never catches on in Britain. Russians tend to be quite thin and so don’t do too much damage to the cars. But imagine if a 200 kilo fat chav jumped on top of your car – it would be a write-off.
Here’s a simple graph I’ve tried to put together. Unfortunately I only have figures for 1980, 2000, 2010 and 2014. So there’s a 20-year jump, then a 10-year jump, then a 4-year jump.
But although this doesn’t make a perfect graph, it does tell a story that affects us all.
I have graphed the percentage of households that take more in services and benefits – the takers – than they contribute in taxes – the payers.
The % of households that are takers has shot up from about 43% in 1980 to around 60% today. (click to see more clearly)
The implications? The takers clearly outnumber the payers. So, a majority of voters have an interest in voting for any party that will continue to give them more more more, as long as someone else is paying.
Latest estimates are that a household (I assume this is 2 adults and 2 children) must earn more than £35,000 a year before it becomes a payer. Our rulers tell us that immigration is good for Britain. But how many immigrant households earn more than £35,000 a year?
There’s one other not so small point. The demographic group with the most children are, of course, adherents of the Religion of Peace. If we assume the average Religion of Peace household has four children, then that household would probably have to earn maybe £50,000 a year to move from being a taker to becoming a payer. How many Religion of Peace households earn more than £50,000 a year?
As almost two thirds of households are now takers, someone likened the general election to two wolves (takers) and a lamb (payer) voting on what to have for dinner.
Fortunately for the payers, many of the takers are too fat, useless, lazy and pig-ignorant to get their lard-arses off their sofas to go out and vote. But as the percentage of takers continues to rise and the percentage of payers continues to fall, it becomes increasingly difficult for any financially-competent party to ever win power.
btw, I love some of comments people leave. Here’s one from yesterday that added to my list of “How to ruin a once-great country in 10 easy steps”. Enjoy:
11. Educate all children to believe that our history contains nothing good whatsoever. On the contrary, it is all racist, misogynist, homophobic genocidal imperialism. The only way to make amends is to be deeply ashamed, apologetic and neurotic about it. Plus of course to implement meaasures 1-10 above to show how profoundly sorry we are.
Imagine a country that once ruled a fifth of the world’s population, that brought democracy to the world, that has produced more great scientists and engineers than any other and that has always been a beacon for freedom and justice. Now, say you wanted to ruin that country, how would you go about it?
Here’s how to do it in just 10 easy steps
1. Hand over control of that country to a corrupt, wasteful, undemocratic, socialist bureaucracy run by Germany in spite of the fact that over one million of that country’s citizens were sent to die to prevent Germany taking over that country
2. Remove almost all border controls so that the ill-educated, unskilled masses from the world’s worst, most corrupt and most dysfunctional hell-holes could flood in to overwhelm the indigenous population
3. Bring in your enemies – allow millions of adherents of a primitive, intolerant and backward cult to pour into that country where they can steal as much as they want from that country’s taxpayers, can rape and sodomise tens of thousands girls from that country (while the police pretend not to notice anything) and can force their medieval practices on that country without anyone having the courage to criticise them
4. Create a generous and unaffordable benefits system in which those who have contributed the least can take out the most and which encourages the stupid, the lazy, the parasitical and the ignorant to procreate, while taxing those who work so heavily to pay for the worthless, that those who contribute can’t afford to have children
5. Make the benefits system open to anyone from anywhere in the world, ensuring that any piece of garbage that can get into Europe heads straight for that country to live in taxpayer-supported idleness for the rest of their worthless lives, while desperately avoiding settling in any other European country as the benefits for the idle, parasitical and feckless are not so generous
6. International Health Service – build a healthcare system that is open to be used and abused by anyone from anywhere in the world providing they can find a way of sneaking into that country
7. Unlimited immigration – allow anyone who has settled in that country to bring in a horde of supposed relatives – parents and grandparents and cousins and whatever – all eager to live on benefits while demanding free housing, free healthcare, free schooling for their children and full pensions for their elderly
8. Encourage new arrivals to exploit public services – print all information regarding benefits, schools, hospitals, housing, pensions etc in 20 to 30 languages so those who have entered the country without any intention of learning the language and integrating can avail themselves of all the benefits and public services on offer
9. In a crazed belief in the myth of Global Warming, start shutting perfectly good, cheap coal and gas-fired power stations and replace them by expensive wind-farms that work less than 20% of the time. Also put so many taxes on energy that many manufacturing businesses close down with the loss of tens of thousands of jobs
10. Impose a form of politically-correct censorship so that anyone who dares criticise the intolerant, the parasitical, the idle, the obese, the feckless, the Greenies, corrupt foreign-aid-embezzling African kleptocrats etc is accused of being racist, ageist, sexist or whateverist and faces the wrecking of their career, while those who pander to political correctness and betray that country are heaped with honours and given almost unlimited amounts of taxpayers’ money.
But, of course, surely no country would willingly commit suicide by doing the above 10 things?
