By  David Craig, on March 5th, 2014 Sorry, but it’s Ukraine again today.
Once again (just as with Syria) Putin has run rings round our useless, pontificating, hot-air-spouting leaders. His relaxed press conference yesterday was masterly. Here was a man looking like a true leader, comfortable with his actions and completely firm and clear about his intentions. He’s dumped Yanukovich for being too corrupt, but is still insisting on protecting Russia’s strategic interests. Meanwhile the idiotic Obama, Kerry, Cameron and Hague bellow and threaten and rush around like headless chickens.
What worries me is not what Putin does or doesn’t do. He’s not going to overstep the mark. It’s how our pathetic leaders will react when they realise that Putin has outmanoeuvred them yet again as he did with Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons. As our masters are once again made to look like posturing fools by Putin, they’ll have to ramp up their threats against Russia to try to save face. Therein lies the danger to the world economy and stability.
Please don’t think I’m an apologist for Putin. I understand that Russia is a corrupt, undemocratic kleptocracy. But there are few perfect countries in the world. Russia has always been a huge, chaotic, corrupt, anarchic mess (I spent some time there as I studied Russian at university) and Putin has worked miracles bringing some kind of order and prosperity to the country. Go to any tourist resort or skiing destination nowadays and it will be full of Russian families with money to spend – a situation unthinkable even ten years ago.
And anyway, why are our masters so keen on bringing democracy to the faraway Ukraine, when they’re doing everything they can to destroy democracy in Britain by handing over control of our country to corrupt, wasteful, unelected kommissars in Brussels? As Mikhail Gorbachev is reported to have said: “The most puzzling development in politics during the last decade is the apparent determination of western European leaders to recreate the Soviet Union in western Europe“.
Oh, and here’s what a senior British civil servant wrote in a memo in 1971 which was kept secret for 30 years: “Of course this is the end of British democracy as we have known it, but if it is properly handled, the people won’t know what has happened until the end of the century. With any luck, old boy, by then I’ll be dead”.
(By the way, any chance of some kind soul buying a copy or two of GREED UNLIMITED? No? Hey ho, I guess that’s the way it goes)
Oh, and for some light relief – is “Keith” the stupidest person on the Internet? I’ve just been reading a piece on Yahoo about the Californian couple who found loads of old gold coins on their land. Apparently there has been a suggestion that these coins could have been the ones stolen in a bank robbery in 1900. One of the readers, Keith commented “I reckon they were probably the robbers themselves. They just decided to lie low for a bit until the heat was off“. So, if I understand Keith, the robbers’ dastardly plan was to do the robbery, then lie low for 114 years and then, after the 114 years had elapsed, to start selling the proceeds of the robbery they did 114 years earlier. Great plan, Keith!
By David Craig, on March 4th, 2014 As our politicians and the docile mainstream media beat the war drums over Russia’s supposed “aggression” in the Ukraine, I’d like to try to provide a slightly more balanced view.
1. Kerry’s, Obama’s, Hague’s and Cameron’s hypocrisy
Our leaders have been bleating about Russia violating the “territorial integrity” of the Ukraine. Um, what about when the US invaded Grenada and Panama? And what about when the US and UK invaded Iraq and Afghanistan? Didn’t we violate those countries’ territorial integrity?
2. Nobody has been killed by the Russians
When the US invaded Grenada and Panama a few people got killed. When we attacked Iraq (on false pretences) and Afghanistan hundreds of thousands died. The Russians have taken over the Crimea with absolute professionalism without a single person being injured or killed.
3. The Ukraine has a large Russian population
There weren’t many Americans or Brits to protect when we started the mass slaughter in Iraq because of Tony Blair’s supposed weapons of mass destruction. And while 9/11 possibly justified ousting the Taliban from Afghanistan, we should have just thrown them out and then got out. But there are large areas of the Ukraine with a predominantly Russian population and who want nothing to do with the new EU-sponsored Government. Putin had not just a right, but a duty to protect them against the inevitable repression – banning the Russian language, stopping Russians from getting jobs etc – that would follow the new government’s takeover
4. The Ukraine is in Russia’s backyard and used to be part of Russia
Wtf was the idiotic Baroness Ashton thinking, when she and her EU cronies tried to pull the Ukraine away from Russia and towards the EU? Did she think that Russia would just shrug and let it happen? Until 1954, the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine were actually parts of Russia. The Ukraine is of huge strategic importance to Russia. It also houses the Russian fleet’s only 12-month ice-free port. Did Ashton think Russia would just give this up? What a blundering idiot only out to get attention for herself.
5. A lot of countries are run by nasty kleptocrats
One of our leaders’ excuses for intervening is that the ousted Ukrainian president was an unpleasant, autocratic, thieving scumbag. But pretty much all countries in Africa are run by unpleasant, autocratic, thieving scumbags. And pretty much all countries in South America are run by unpleasant, autocratic, thieving scumbags. And many Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc) are run by unpleasant, autocratic, thieving scumbags. We can’t sort them all out. It’s up to their own people to do that.
5. We should be working with Russia against our common enemy – “radical” Islam
And finally, our cretinous leaders are fighting the last war, instead of focusing on the real future threat to our civilisation – “radical” Islam. We should be working with Russia to combat Islamic fundamentalism.
So, please don’t believe our lying leaders as they scream abuse and hurl threats at Russia. It’s mostly hypocrisy, lies and stupidity. It’s a pity none of our mainstream media will tell the truth.
By David Craig, on March 3rd, 2014 The latest pathetic attack on UKIP came from the panicking Torygraph www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ukip/10670949/Farage-defends-jokes-about-foreigners-at-Ukip-conference.html. Some idiot hack complained that there was a stand-up comedian at the dinner following the UKIP Spring conference who told jokes about Poles and Asians and insinuated that this proved UKIP were all violent racists. How low will the established parties sink as they try to protect their power and privileges from the UKIP challenge?
Anyway, before all jokes are banned, here’s a recent Angela Merkel joke. At least, I hope it’s a joke.
When Chancellor Angela Merkel landed at Heathrow and went through immigration the following conversation took place;
Immigration Officer: “Name?”
Chancellor: “Angela Merkel.”
Immigration Officer: “Nationality?”
Chancellor: “German.”
Immigration Officer: “Occupation?”
Chancellor: “Not yet, just a preliminary assessment”
I assume that’s what is now called a “racist joke”. So, just to fill out today’s blog, here’s what some idiots would call a “homophobic joke”.
Kylie Minogue, Elton John and Robbie Williams are walking along the street. Kylie trips, jamming her head in some railings. Robbie, quick as a flash, pulls down her knickers and gives her a jolly good rogering. Then he turns to Elton and says, “Your turn!” But Elton starts to cry.
“What’s wrong, Elton?” asks Robbie.
Elton sobs, “My head won’t fit through the railings!”
Oh, and here’s supposedly “racist” joke:
A group of Islamic fundamentalists are sitting outside Slough railway station. One turns to the rest of the group and says “I don’t know about you, but I could murder a Chinese”.
Oh, sorry, that joke really bombed.
By David Craig, on March 2nd, 2014 Here are the figures from an Australian Government website giving details of state pensions in Australia (click on picture to see more clearly)
A single person gets $827.00 a fortnight – equivalent to £220 a week. A couple get $1,246.80 a fortnight – equivalent to £332 per week. So, Australians get more than double the pension we get in Britain.
So, why can’t we afford to pay our pensioners more?
Firstly, because we’re rapidly heading for national bankruptcy with our national debt rising from £750bn in 2010 to £1.4trn by 2015.
Well, why can’t the Government cut spending?
There are obviously many reasons. But a key one could be the tsunami of immigrants flooding into Britain each year all wanting housing, healthcare, education for their children, benefits if they’re not working, even benefits if they’re working but in low-paying jobs and of course benefits if they’re working cash in hand pretending to be unemployed. Plus they want child credits for their real or imaginary children either living with them in Britain or else back in their countries of origin. In 2013, over 600,000 immigrants – an incredible 12,000 a week – poured across what we laughably still call our “borders”.
So, how much are the 7 to 8 million people, who have arrived in Britain over the last 15 years, costing us?
Well, let’s assume there are just 7 million (in reality there are probably many more) and of these 20% are unemployed and receiving £15,000 a year each in services and benefits – that’s £21bn – almost enough to increase the British state pension by £25 a week. And let’s assume that about half of the employed 5.6 million are getting, say £7,000 a year more in benefits and services than they pay in tax. Yippee – there’s another £20bn. That’s yet another £25 a week on the state pension. And let’s assume the rest are just getting £3,000 a year more in benefits and services than they pay in tax – there’s £8bn more – enough for almost another £10 on the state pension. Oh, look, if we didn’t have these 7 million immigrants, we could increase the state pension by at least £60 per week. And let’s imagine there would be a million more British people in work, if there weren’t so many immigrants – whoopee another £10bn saved, another £10 per week on the state pension. We’d still not be at Australian levels, but we’d be getting close.
So, on behalf of Britain’s 7+ million immigrants, I’d like to thank Britain’s pensioners for being so generous that they’ve voted in successive governments, which have been more interested in giving money to immigrants, who have contributed nothing to Britain, than in keeping this money for British pensioners, most of whom will have worked and paid tax for 40 years or more. Hurray for Britain’s extremely generous pensioners! Hurray for the millions of Britain’s pensioners who are willingly living in poverty so that immigrants can live the life of Riley at their expense!
By David Craig, on March 1st, 2014 Surely, what happened two days ago tells us all we need to know about our abject surrender of our sovereignty to the EU, which of course is run by mighty Germany.
A German leader marches into our so-called “Parliament” and tells our elected leaders, in German, that she will not tolerate Britain making any significant changes in the way the EU is run and in the way the EU runs Britain and in the way Germany runs the EU. And what can our leaders do about this? Nothing. (click on picture to see more clearly)
I’m not accusing Merkel of being like Hitler as the Greeks have done. That would be childish. Anyway, she hasn’t tried to seize our country. Our leaders have given it away. So I am accusing our leaders of being arrogant, greedy, self-serving, thieving, cowardly, lying quislings who have sold our country down the river.
We may have won the Battle of Britain, but we’ve definitely lost the Battle for Britain.
Vote UKIP at every opportunity.
Democracy for the Ukraine! But not for Britain
It’s interesting to note that, at the same time as the EU is trying to start a massive international crisis by demanding democracy and freedom for the Ukraine, the EU is also taking away our freedom and democracy and handing ever more power to a group of unelected, utterly corrupt, kelptocratic komissars. Odd that.
(I need to sell some more copies of GREED UNLIMITED – I’ve only sold a couple of hundred, which is pathetic. Why not buy a copy and send it to your greedy, lying, thieving, treacherous MP with a letter demanding they represent British interests instead of selling out to bankers and to our corrupt, wasteful, undemocratic EU masters?)
By David Craig, on February 28th, 2014 Yesterday, I revealed how ethnic British would be a minority in our country by 2067, if not earlier. Today, I’ll try to show what this means in terms of numbers of people and overcrowding.
Here’s how the UK’s population is likely to develop by 2081 – from 63 million today to 95 million in 67 years. I show both the total number of people and the split between ethnic British and immigrants (click on pictures to see more clearly)
This enormous, uncontrolled population growth is horrific enough. But there’s an even worse outcome – the massive overcrowding of England. The majority of population growth is going to be mostly in England, with quite small numbers of immigrants heading to Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Currently there are about 406 people per sq km in England. This makes England as crowded as Holland. By the time the UK population reaches 95 million in 2081, there will be an appalling 652 people per sq km – higher than India, Japan and Taiwan are today – and they’re pretty ghastly places if you don’t like tens of millions of people living on top of each other.
How and why are we allowing this horror to develop?
Vote UKIP at every opportunity.
By David Craig, on February 27th, 2014 Here’s something I hope readers will find interesting.
I’m sure readers know that fertility rates amongst Britain’s immigrant population are much higher (often more than twice the level) of ethnic British. This means that, if the current rates of immigration continue (and they’ll probably increase as ever more countries join the EU) within 53 years immigrants and their children will be become the majority in Britain and ethnic British will become the minority. The chart below shows ethnic British and ethnic “minorities” as a % of the population from 2001 to 3001 (click on chart to see more clearly)
It would be nice if our politicians, the Guardianistas and the BBC would discuss this.
(I think the chart says so much, that there’s no need for me to add any more comments)
By the way, could I please have more reviews on Amazon for GREED UNLIMITED? Here’s the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/create-review?ie=UTF8&asin=1872188095&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=266239&ref_=cm_cr_dp_wrt_top&store=books
Thanks for your support.
By David Craig, on February 26th, 2014 I realise that on my blog, I probably sound too much like a Cassandra. But I genuinely try to bring stories that are not covered by the mainstream media. And remember, Cassandra was proved right.
Here’s a story that sent a chill through me:
The Government is planning to rename National Insurance (NI) by calling it “earnings tax”. The change, which will be proposed in legislation to be published in a few days, is the first step towards merging income tax with NI.
The Government claims, quite rightly, that this will make the tax system more transparent.
Originally NI, which is charged on top of income tax, was first introduced in the National Insurance Act by Lloyd George in 1913 as a way for workers and employees to contribute towards certain benefits, such as a state pension. But now all the money taken for NI just goes into a general pot that the Government spends/wastes. The Government gets about £155bn from income tax and another £106bn from NI.
Now let’s just look briefly at the likely future cost of the state pension as the population ages (click on picture to see more clearly)
Whoops, it’s basically a Ponzi scheme – and all Ponzi schemes eventually collapse as there’s not enough money coming in to pay out.
So how can the Government avoid the state pension Ponzi scheme collapsing? By stopping paying a state pension to millions of people who have saved for private pensions. And the way our Government will do this is by cutting any link between NI contributions and entitlement to a state pension. So the state pension will become just another “benefit” for immigrants, the poor and the feckless who have no savings or personal pension at all, rather than something people are entitled to due to having paid NI contributions for many years.
This name change signals a serious attack on the living standards of future pensioners, who may lose substantial amounts of money for the crime of providing a modest private pension for themselves.
The real victims of this coming massive con won’t be the rich. After all, losing the state pension of £100 or even £140 a week won’t make much difference to them. The real victims will be the millions who have been coerced into paying into the new Workplace Pensions that have been so eagerly advertised by a few well-known multimillionaire businesspeople (Theo, Karren, Nick and others in the “We’re in” TV ads). If the Government does turn the state pension from an entitlement into a benefit, all these savers will find is that their savings into the new Workplace Pensions scheme will disqualify them from receiving a state pension.
Many years ago, I opted out of the SERPS scheme and put my money into a private pension because I didn’t trust any government. Just as well, as this Government is abolishing SERPS and (if I understand the situation correctly) anyone who had paid in will have wasted their money. Now I could, if I want, pay NI for my wife. But I’m not going to as I believe that by the time she reaches pension age, her savings will mean she gets no state pension and all money I would have paid in NI will be wasted. Instead I’ll provide a private pension for her because I still don’t trust this or any other government.
By David Craig, on February 25th, 2014 Just to say that there will be no blog today as I’m up in London for the presentation THE GREAT SAVINGS AND PENSIONS SCANDAL that I gave yesterday evening.
Back Wednesday 26 February with a couple of horror stories like how I know that the Government will be abolishing the state pension.
(By the way, my blog yesterday about moving to Pakistan was meant to be ironic)
In the meantime, a few more reviews of my book GREED UNLIMITED on Amazon would be appreciated. Here’s the link:

By David Craig, on February 24th, 2014
| Dear Mr. Cameron,
I’m planning to move my family and extended family to Pakistan so we can all have a better life and I would like to ask you to assist me with this.
We’re all planning to simply fly from Britain to Pakistan and we’ll need your help to make a few arrangements so that we have a good life in Pakistan thanks to the generosity of Pakistani taxpayers.
We plan to skip all of the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I’m sure they handle those things in the same way you do here – open borders so anyone can come in. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Asif Ali Zardari, that we’re on our way over?
Please let him know that we (all 26 of us) will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family and English-speaking interpreters in all doctors’ surgeries and hospitals that I and my extended family might use.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services we might need, whether we use them or not.
3. All Pakistani Government forms must be printed in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Urdu by English speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on British culture and history but I don’t want my grandchildren learning anything about Pakistan’s culture or history even though we’ll be living there.
6. I want my grandkids to see the British flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch. They should be given traditional British food that they have been used to eating in Britain. And please remember that one of my grandchildren particularly likes bacon sandwiches for breakfast, while another one is partial to pork sausages. While we’re on the subject of food, it goes without saying that we expect all meat sold throughout Pakistan to come from animals killed in the traditional British way – with a stun gun.
8. I will need a local Pakistani driver’s license so I can get easy access to all government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Pakistan, but I don’t plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won’t make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Pakistani police officers does not get the memo from President Zardari to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer. Oh and did I mention that one of my cousin’s grandchildren is a bit of a rascal and is always up to no good? If he’s caught breaking the law, I expect him to be let off with a caution every time.
11. We plan to fly the British flag from our housetop, put British Flag decals on our car, and have a gigantic celebration on December 25th. We do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals – we expect them to respect our culture.
12. I would also like to have a nice job (cash in hand) without paying any taxes, or have any labour or tax laws enforced on any business I may start. Also I don’t want any problems if I employ illegal immigrants at well below the minimum wage to help me earn more money for myself and my family.
13. Please have President Zardari tell all of the Pakistani people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I’ll expect free rent subsidies – no, it would better if I was given a large house for my extended family.
16. I’ll need income tax credits and child tax credits so that, although I won’t pay Pakistani taxes, I’ll receive money from the government. Plus my cousin has a bad back and cannot work so he’ll need Disability Living Allowance and Carer’s Allowance. Oh, and my brother eats too much and is very fat indeed. So he can’t work either. He’ll need Disability Living Allowance and Carer’s allowance too, plus he’ll need a specially-fitted room in the house you’ll be giving me and a mobility scooter to get around.
17. Please arrange it so that the Pakistan Government pays me £4,500.00 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enrol me free into the Pakistan Social Security program so that I’ll get a monthly pension cheque in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all of his people who fly to Britain from Pakistan. I am sure that President Zardari won’t mind returning the favour if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help |
