Snouts in the Trough

For all devoted fans of BBC Director General Mark Thompson, here’s another great video about the overpaid buffoon running the BBC. Enjoy.

Anyone who has ever worked underground will know that immediately following an explosion is the safest time to enter a mine to see if there are any survivors. The longer one waits, especially if the air cleaning system has been destroyed, the more likely it is that dangerous gasses will build up again. By delaying rescuers immediately entering the coal mine, the NZ authorities were increasing the risk of another explosion.

So what stopped the rescuers? Was it the fear that a further explosion would unleash a swarm of greedy lawyers? Were the NZ miners actually killed by the threat of lawyers suing the management and authorities? Whereas, in Chile and China, the lack of a threat of legal action allowed the successful rescue to go ahead.

Our lying PM David Liar Cameron has told us that “we’re all in this together”. So we should perhaps thank civil servant Sir David Normington for revealing how we’ve become a ‘them and us’ society with politicians and public-sector bosses living in luxury while the rest of us pay for their mistakes. Sir David is one of over 50,000 public-sector employees being paid more than £100,000 each. After a life of pointlessly pushing paper around, Sir David is retiring at the ripe old age of just 59 with an inflation-protected pension of over £80,000 a year plus a lump sum TAXFREE payment of around £250,000. Despite retiring with so much of our money, Sir David has got a new public-sector job, working only 3 days a week and earning £85,000 a year. And there are another 50,000 fatcats just like the ‘lucky’ Sir David.

As Liar Cameron cuts spending to reduce the deficit, an awful lot of lower-paid frontline public-sector workers will lose their jobs so that we can afford to keep Sir David and his ilk in the luxury to which they have become accustomed. Cameron, you’re a liar. We’re not all in this together. You and your mates are fleecing the rest of us. Once scum, always scum.

Multimillionaire chancellor Boy George Osborne chucks over £7bn of our money into the black hole that is Ireland’s economy. We must ‘help our friends in need’ chirps happy chappy Osborne. But who are those ‘friends’? The Irish? Or the multimillionaire bankers who have rashly loaned about £140bn to the bankrupt Irish? The same bankers who will pay themselves billions in bonuses in a couple of months to reward themselves for their financial brilliance.

Given that much of the money lost by the Irish banks has actually just been stolen by Ireland’s ruling mafia of bank bosses, politicians and property developers, why isn’t Boy George insisting these crooks be brought to justice? And why isn’t our government prosecuting Goodwin and his mates for fraud, false accounting, deception? Perhaps the friends that Boy George is helping with our money are just his banking mates who will give him a lucrative job for life when he decides to stop wasting his time in Parliament. Perhaps Boy George Osborne is featherbedding his own future with billions of our money?

First our incredulity was stretched to breaking point when Tony Blair, invader of Muslim countries and slaughterer of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, became Middle East peace envoy. Now we are left speechless as the useless lying sociopath Gordon Brown pockets about £60,000 for giving a 50-minute speech at a conference in India on the global economic crisis and how to prevent another one.

This is the same Gordon Brown who destroyed the system for regulating banks, who for ten years spent £4 for every £3 taken in tax and who was probably the worst, most financially incontinent chancellor and PM in British history. You couldn’t make it up.

If they were alive today Gilbert and Sullivan would be having a field day. They could have Blair singing, “I invaded those countries so recklessly, that now I am a peacemaker as you all can see”.  And Brown could sing, “I squandered the money so carelessly, that now when they want advice they pay me”.
