This country is in a serious mess but the Tories will not hurt their own in the process of straightening it out, it will be the poor who will suffer, we've already seen the proposal from the Right Wing Think Tank that one pays £20 to visit the doctor. Now the poor will be unable to pay so are they to get a poorer service? Stop the aid, stop the quangos, stop the people claiming benefits who are not citizens of this country, stop those who should pay for health care from getting it free like those from abroad – stop the free loading of students who come here not for education but a job and milk the system – and most of all make those who can work take jobs when they are available. Stop child benefit for eg Polish workers let them claim in their own country, £20 here £3 in Poland, I could go on the waste is unbelieveable. Its time to stop it all, the money flowing out is silly we need to stop it altogether. Tories have always been selfish, greedy, they have not changed and people are going to have a culteral shock when they take over and it looks like they may.

It's quite simple really Uncle Ivan. The Queen has absolutely no authority any more.We are a Monarchy in name only. Effectively the Prime Minister is the President. Whatever the Queen's views she is not allowed to express them. If she were, I would put money on her being as horrified and disgusted as we are at the ever quickening dismantling of our country, it's customs and our heritage

The obvious solution to Britain's problems has been written here already. In addition if we were to build up the fleet, buy out our floundering car industry. reopen any viable coalmines, invest in domestic renewable energy etc. the work created would get people back into work and off benefits, and build up our defences which past marxist governments have destroyed.

If the Queen kept to her coronation oath her crown would be secure, her country would be secure, her people would be secure, and Thatcher, Major, Blair and Brown would be languishing in gaol awaiting trial on a charge of treason.

They aren't just "possible", they are almost a certainty with the spending they intend to continue and the spiraling income.

Something has to give somewhere, and the easiest option is always old muggins, the taxpayer.

The Tory head of the triple-headed LibLabCon hydra is simply positioning itself to continue the direction of ZanuLiebour when the baton is passed to it at the next General Election. It's aim is to lead traditional Britain to extinction. All nationalists should now be working hard to ensure the BNP is adequately geared-up to win many seats in Westminster. This is where BNP policies can be put into effect to withdraw from the EU, end mass immigration, bring our heroic troops back from Afghanistan & effectively end the Islamification of Britain – surely four major steps to reclaiming, securing & defending our country and its traditions.

Eliminate the useless costly quangos, stop all immigration & cease giving welfare to non-British citizens & get rid of myriad non-essential government services like translators etc., quit the useless war in Afghanistan, slash Foreign Aid. All these and more cost-cutting measures have been proposed by the BNP which would see huge savings and also benefit the country by having this millstone removed from around our neck. The Lib/Lab/Con refuse to carry out such sensible proposals, preferring instead to preserve the charade of their vibrant multicultural society at all costs. Even if it means the ruination of the UK. This deliberate & wanton destruction of the UK & its indigenous people is the act of twisted neo-Marxist criminals whose brainwashing precludes them from acting in a sane manner for the well-being of the indigenous British people. It's well past time British voters removed them & replaced these self-serving mediocrities with those who have the interests of the British people at heart.

The Queen? Heh heh. On 5 May 2010 The Queen, her crown, her orb, her sceptre all become mere decorations on a Winter Festival Tree. Did you not know?

Of course Osborne cannot rule out tax increases. I am no tory apologist, but to be completely fair we have to remember that the government has no money of it's own. It raises money through, among other things taxation. We then have to trust that the government will use that money wisely, and for the improvement of services to it's own people. Not for buying the votes of colonists.

Yes the cupboard is bare. Traditionally the tories have had to 'balance the books' every time after labour have had their fingers in the till for 4-5 years. we are now in unknown territory. labour have never had this long to screw things up before.

We know what some of the consequences are such as our NHS in crisis, colonisation running rampant, eduaction standards falling each year, crime rife etc etc. What the final tally of the state of our finances will be can only be guessed at. One thing for sure we are not being told the truth, far from it. I doubt if some of our politicans across the board would know the truth if it jumped up and bit them.

Every brass farthing, if you don't mind. Not a penny should leave these shores. The taxpayers of Britain are bleeding to death under this SABOTAGE PARLIAMENT.

jat, 'The Andrew Marr Show' of 19th is online. After two women discussing swine flu fairly well in fact, consdiering they knew nothing about it, and miscellaneous filler material, I watched Osborne – about 25 mins into the programme – saying the Bank of England will control finances under the Tories! "We want to create an era of sound banking. … We have warned for months there's a crisis…" Months! He's another evasive clown:- nothing on immigration, justification for war, 'aid', and precious little on state-funded fraudulent pseudo-jobs, and of course nothing on the continual invasion of cults.

42 mins is Alan Johnson. He says "the door is closed for the unskilled" immigrant! He's just another liar, predictably I suppose. Unfortunately, but just as predictably, Marr is a soft and uninformed interviewer. Marr is unable to marshal information – no doubt that's why he's there – and will not allocate time in proportion to seriousness.

There's a bizarre feature of this programme – the BBC say online that General Sir Richard Dannatt talks to Andrew Marr. (Well – it says it the other way round). In fact Dannatt is not in the programme at all.

Terence is right, it is deliberate. The key point on Osbourne's speech is his proposal to use private firms and charities to run things like education and health services. This is not about saving money, but simply a further step along the road of turning over our public services into profit centres for the corporations (the key aim of big capitalism) and breaking the power and prestige of the nation state (the key aim of the 1968-generation left). This Common Purpose meeting between the two is what the coming Cameron regime will be all about.

No doubt quite a few tory politicians and liblabs will be directors and consultants of these private companies thus creating another nice little earner at the taxpayers expense. Well, what a surprise!!

Unfortuntely, no Tory/NuLab/LibDem/UKIP or major party candidate will ever tell the actual truth, and most especially when trying to drum up votes. I have listened to quite a few, across the political spectrum. Everything they say will boil down to: "Oh yes, we have a chance to put things right, we will do a better job, we will put the people first, we will listen to what people are saying, we will introduce some necessary new reforms, the NHS will be safer in our hands… etc. etc. waffle waffle waffle. Not a single word of it is ever true. Unfortunately, the general British public is basically complacent. They feel "comfortable" voting for an establishment party, and uncomfortable at the prospect of voting BNP. I wish voters would wake up, open their eyes to the reduction of themselves to serfs which is now almost complete, and take what may be their last chance to restore Britain to being a decent, self-paying, self-ruling, world-leading, safe, law-abiding country by voting BNP.

Whoever is in charge is going to have to take tough decisions on tax and spending. The country is in a financially ghastly state. The Globalist bankers screwed up and Labour relied on the 'funny money' to create a welfare dependent society (which they like because it gets them votes from those who live on benefits). British people want 'real' jobs making things that other countries want and are prepared to pay for. Making things that are useful and produce real wealth in the pay packets of free workers who don't need state charity to top up 'non-job' pay.

To get the country back to a sound footing is going to require:

1. Top-quality leadership in Government (that means Labour out for years and years)
2. National recovery financial plan. (Everybody pays his fair share to get the country back to financial balance)
3. No Immigration. We have plenty of unused talent and potential in Britain.
4. Deliberate focus on medium sized manufacturing firms where bosses and workers work together (there are plenty of examples around the world where bosses and workers work together well)
5. Make welfare scrounging a matter of social shame.
6. House building programme to modern environmental standards. Average house cost 90,000 (like in Germany)
7.Unemployment Insurance that actually goes to an insurance fund and not be used as government revenue. (Same for sickness and pension)
8. Pride in a fair and just society that can take tough action on crime. (Like Singapore) .
9. Make the family the top value in society. Successful countries have always been based on successful families. Good families don't need handouts. (Labour loves broken families …they give handouts of other people's money and get votes…that's what the Labour machine is all about)

He's not the only one:–
Jacqui Smith: I'd never run a thing before the Home Office … Jacqui Smith has admitted for the first time that she was not up to the job of Home Secretary. She said she was thrust into one of the biggest posts in Government without any training and called for MPs to receive help before they become ministers.

Absolutely right. The subject has been censored for years (and indeed for centuries).

And there is now so much unaccounted money floating around – think of billions and trillions lost in Iraq and the US – that I suspect at some point it will be necessary to start afresh with a new issue of money since it can't be assumed that large sums were honestly acquired.
