    3 things this morning.

    Want to re-iterate my apology to PeterB (and vow never to jump into another's feud on theUT EVER AGAIN)

    Thank Paul for the congrats and the Steely Dan.

    Thank Thauma for making me LOL with that link.

    There, that feels a bit better ;0)

    Lots of protests planned around Parliament this afternoon. This is a portentious day methinks.

  6. Bitterweed from yesterday evening -

    No problem at all. That is what they are there for, so feel free to print out or email or link or whatever seems like a good idea.

    Print them out and leave them lying in the office or stuff them into a stranger's pocket as you pass them or leave them on the seat of the train or bus or fold them around a brick and throw them at someone...

    Ideally, people could print them out, stick them to a politician or banker and set light to them.

    That would be portentuitioustastic!

    PS

    Woohoo!

    But who are these people lecturing us?

    Why are all these MPs, senators, ministers and other UMP mouth-pieces saying nothing about:

    - most of them get their pension benefits under an entirely different systeem that has absolutely nothing to do with the conditions for workers
    - on of the concerns of Eric Woerth, before leaving the Finance ministry to 'reform' retirement was...to ensure the maintenance of the special retirement provisions of local government councillors in Picardie (E. Woerth is a member of this council)
    - the national assembly rejected on 3/9/10 an amendment to their own pension rules which currently give them €1550 a month after ... 5 years of contributions!
    - and one final point I don't understand: De l’argent il y en a pour financer nos retraites et revenir sur les contre-réformes de 2007, 2003 et 1993 (bouclier fiscal, exonérations fiscales, 212 milliards de bénéfices pour les entreprises du CAC 40 en 3 ans, …)

  15. There’s been some discussion lately on the comparisons and contrasts between the CSR and the the 1920’s Geddes axe, the last time the UK economy faced the cuts that Osborne is pronouncing today, so I thought it apposite to compare the two in terms of effects.

    Like the CSR, the Geddes axe focused on a Liberal-Conservative coalition attempt to reduce public debt in the midst of an economic crisis by a large reduction in public expenditure.

    These figures showing the macroeconomic effects of the Geddes axe are fascinating. Within the first year of public expenditure cuts, not only had the economy contracted by 8.7% but public debt actually increased from 114% of GDP to 136%.

    Public debt continues to increase all through the period of the axe whilst public expenditure continues to decrease. Public debt reaches a high of 180% of GDP by 1923 whilst public expenditure is at its lowest. And of course, all through the period unemployment rises and rises.

    Now, we cannot make a 100% direct link between the Geddes axe and today’s CSR, for instance the millions of men being de-mobbed in the post war years led to a huge shortfall in employment opportunities for one. However, the deep cuts in public expenditure not only hit Public sector hard, it also had an enormous detrimental effect on the private sector. The Public sector is the private sector’s biggest customer.

    A contraction in public spending leads to a contraction in private sector employment increasing unemployment and reducing tax receipts, making recovery even more difficult.
    RH Tawney, following the bill in parliament wrote an excellent sketch on the debate about education cuts.

    The Govt defended cutting education spending for the poorest children on the basis that 'children whose mental capabilities do not justify higher education are receiving it'.

    Today’s language may have changed and moderated but when we look at the Browne reports denial of tertiary education to those on median-low incomes as well as cancelling the ‘building schools for the future’ programme which was focused predominantly on poorer areas, can we really say that political attitudes to education and the poor have progressed that much?

    And one last question for the Conservatives. When was the last point in British economic history, that public sector cuts led to private sector job creation, whilst the domestic private sector is de-leveraging and export growth slowing amongst our key trading partners?

    Yes, quite true. Have you seen Professor Twiglitz on CiF? He argues much the same.

    Of course, what we are actually seeing is a heist from the public purse to the private back-pocket and policies pursued purely for ideological reasons.

    The question will soon be very simple: when does the war start?

    Since I have had some previous errors pointed out to me when I have translated from English to, er, English from some of Philippa's links, I am going to give both the original and the translated texts here.

    I thought the name Geddes was familiar - he was brought in by Lloyd George during WW1 to sort out military railway transport, and was a conspicuous success. He literally made the trains run on time.

    However, this did not make him an economic or political genius.

    In passing, he also spawned the 'squeeze them till the pips squeak' quote, talking about the Germans after Versailles.

    Be very wary of Libération, it's the equivalent of pure Blairite and positions itself as a "centre" newspaper.

    Check out l'Huma's coverage too.

    Re the "riots" in Nanterre and other places, it's an old, old problem. The students and especially secondary-school pupils virtually never organise proper security for their events, so the most marginalised kids from the estates (and there's a particularly deprived one about ten minutes walk from the Lycée in Nanterre where the fighting took place) come in droves, tooled-up to fight the police.

    Sarko's authorities let it happen, then step in with tear gas and batons, and make arrests. The idea is to ensure violence will occur so that parents of ordinary kids will get worried and forbid their children to take part in demos and pickets.

A sub-ed’s job at the Graun awaits, no doubt… anyway, my daughter’s getting to grips with English spelling at the minute, as it happens, interesting to see how she’s slowly moving away from her own phonetic attempts at it, to a more “rules-based” approach based on extrapolation from known words.

    Haven't had a chance to catch up on the review yet (Gawd, do I really want to?), though gather from comments above that the Sheriff of Oikborne (good one that La Rit), is shitting on all and sundry. I did hear at work that the HO will need to shed around 6500 jobs, 5200 from the UKBA - over the next 4 years, so a lot of worried people about..

    If we do decide play Robin Hood in the woods I build a mean bender - can also do a decent sweat lodge too, so reasonable comfort guaranteed.

    Noam chomsky has just given a good lecture on freedom of speech at a conference in Turkey - sticking his neck out for Ismail Besikci - good for him! He talks about "intentional ignorance" amongst other things and the

Quick question - does anyone know when the changes to single people under 35 being able to claim housing benefit for a one bed flat will come in? for example if someone is 35 in March will the new rules come in after April 2011 or will they come in now and they lose their flat with just months to go?

    Any help appreciated. Cheers.

  83. PCC

    According to The Indy:

    "The Government announced further plans to cut housing benefit payments, by increasing the age threshold for the so-called shared room rate in housing benefit from 25 to 35.

    From 2012, single people under 35 will be paid a shared room rate rather than a rate for a full flat."

    Question - if it was only for the poor would wider community still support it?

    Well, I would. I don't see why someone like me, who earns a decent income, should be eligible for benefits like CB (which isn't really universal anyway, as it's only available to parents).

    And if I ever manage to retire with a decent income (much less likely as my retirement pot is exactly 0), I don't see why I should get a free bus pass or winter fuel allowance.

    If these 'universal' benefits are cut for high earners, then won't there be more available for those who really need it?

    Health care and education, however, should be free to all to keep the quality of the service provision up, and also to keep selfish rich bastards on-side, believing that they actually do get something for the tax they (hopefully) pay.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Tricky one on universal benefits. Its of course true that higher earners dont need the benefits, and it would save important cash which could be used elsewhere, but i think there is some advantage in a universal benefit in that everyone gets something from it. People's attitudes are probably better towards welfare in general if they're getting a piece of the pie, whether they need it or not.

    But (and this is a genuine question) do you think they're actually thick enough not to realise that they already get the benefits of the NHS, schools, roads, etc.? Even fat-cat businesscunts should see the value in these things; even if they themselves opt for private health and schooling, surely they need healthy and literate/numerate drones to slave away for them?

    Oh right, they'll just import them cheaper from somewhere else that is stupid enough to pay for these things for all.

  100. Hi all,

    james thanks very much for that reply. That is a bit re-assuring for my friend but horrendous for anyone else who happens to be in a flat and will now have to move to a shared house (which may cost a lot more anyway as it probably won't be council stock!).

    I have replied to Jess after MsChin gave me the heads up. I have been out most of the day and won't really be around much tonight. It is the anniversary of my fathers death today and so have my sister around for a meal.

    I am extremely unhappy with the spending review but a bit shellshocked by it all at the moment. Cannot believe how little anger there seems to be amongst those who are asked about it on the beeb etc - unless of course they are just not showing anyone too off message.

    By the way just checked out that Ann Coulter - bonkers!!

    Have a good nite UT'ers.

  101. Deano - good news, mate.

    MsChin:

    Just spoke to the princess ...

    I think I can safely say that neither of us is happy about the budget.


    Hehe, would have liked to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation.

    Princess - loads of people would love to see you ATL, so I hope you can do it. Think of your public. ;-)

  102. P.s. Deano - Good news about the 'downstairs situation'.

    Thauma and others - thanks. I need to run everything I do by my consultant however and can't get into see him till december - he only works in Leeds once a fortnight.

    Anyway have to go and sit with the family. I will look forward to reading further dissections of the spending review on the UT tomorrow!

  103. Princess - sweet memories to you and your sister.

    House sharing is really a bit crap once you're past your early twenties. I mean, at some point you need a bit of privacy.

    I was sharing a couple of years ago and that was actually really good ... but only cos it was a fucking huge manor house and the landlord was seldom at home, and I got on really well with the third sharer. We had plenty of private space too.

    I read Ann Coulter regularly just to find out what the enemy are up to. She occasionally has something witty, but mostly it's just a complete distortion of actual facts and hate-filled bile.
    And privilege.

    This little gem from Waltz made me laugh.... sort of sums it all up really....

  110. I was working with a guy today who got a call from an agency this afternoon. They wanted him to drive from Chester-Le-Street to Alnwick and back at his own expense for £8 an hour.
    That's nearly half the going rate a skilled carpenter was getting paid about three years ago.

    Natch, their attitude was; "well it's a job"!

  128. I was at my sisters this afternoon and we watched a re hash of Osbourne speech, I have got to admit (being a bit self obsessed) that I hadn't realised quite how worried she was about it all.

    Luckily it seems as is her job is safe for now, it isn't a brilliantly paid job, being just under £20,000 a year but in this area it puts her on a relatively good footing, especially since she was lucky enough to get a council house after 9 months of her and her daughter sleeping on a relatives floor.

    She is worried for her daughter, for her friends and her friends children and she is right to worry.

    Her daughter is an incredibly bright girl, tagged as gifted and talented (when the feck did that nonsence start, my other neice is also tagged as gifted and talented and she has just turned seven, it's a vile label to put on small children) but today it hit me that it doesn't actually matter how bright she is, she is going to need a big helping of luck as well as brains to succeed in this shithole of a country.

    She is one of the lucky ones, she is bright and healthy (and beautiful, which lets face it never hurts) and has a parent who would suffer any kind of hardship to see her happy and her success still relies on the whims of a government that doesn't give a shit about her welfare.

    What about those kids who aren't as lucky?

    It is so wrong that so many people are living in fear, yes people get on with life but I know from experience that it is not really living.

  132. I read earlier, on one of the Cif threads that those on benefits will have to pay a proportion of the Council Tax, can anyone confirm that?

    I pay roughly 10% of my rent and council tax because I am on Incapacity rather than JSA, it is just over a tenner a week.

    Not a lot of money to most people but to me it makes a huge difference.

    When I get paid I go out and pay out my bills which leaves me with approx £30 per week to live on, that has to pay for food, household crap like washing powder, shampoo and the rest.

    When I get put onto JSA I will lose just under £60 a fortnight which will basically mean that in order to survive those bills will just not get paid.

    As you can imagine I just don't know how I will get by.

    As for getting a job, I will really impress those potential employers when I turn up with my uncut hair and shabby clothes.

    Off topic but until recently I was also paying for my own prescriptions because nobody told me that I could apply for a HC2 form, that is £6.70 a month I was paying over the odds because no one ever tells you what you are fully entitled to.

    It is a long time since I have felt such visceral anger. The cuts, the attack on the poor and the sick are bad enough - watching all these people lying in defense of them is really more than I can stomach. They are still pretending that millions of jobs will be created.

    Attempts to force wages down are succeeding in some areas - as people become more desperate they will fall further. there is no defence for these cuts and even less for the spinoff effects. there are so many lies - and far too many willing to believe them .

    A lot of these people yah-yahing in support will find they have sold their own futures and those of their children. They are allowing their own dispossession.

    He knew so much useless trivia, the Guinness Book of Hit Records was his bed time reading and I just wish he had been around for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

    He grew up in the Fifties and got no real education apart from learning to read and write, working class lads just left school as soon as they could and went to work, in his case it was British Steel.

    Re magggie, I heard a story when I was a barman at the pub nearest the Embra Queen st BBC. Jim Naughtie goes to interview Maggie at No 10, 9am, she has a large tumbler of gin with a sniff of tonic in front of her and says,

    'Ah James, you're a Scotsman, you'll have a Dram!!' and pours him three stiff fingers of malt. He starts the interview and forces the dram down, she polishes off two more gins and pours him another ridiculous whisky, whilst the interview goes on. He's steaming, she falls asleep.

    As he's leaving, pissed, still just gone 10am, he says to the branchman sitting by the door, "Well that's you for the day..."

    To which the plod replies, over his mirrored rayban's, "We've hardly started sir."

    Why should any of us think her 21st C scions behave any different?

    Well, I can't imagine Leni tearing policemens' ears off or throwing Molotov cocktails, but there are a number of intermediate possibilities .

    They range from simply embarrassing them,which they of course don't care about, to then really making life difficult, costly, and eventually impossible . Just a question of evil guerilla-warfare imagination.

    I've lost the link to the people in Edinburgh who closed down a WCA testing-centre for the day, but if that happens all over there just aren't enough cops , especially given the 'cuts' .

    If everybody who turns up for a ' Disability' hearing of some sort does so with 5 or 20 friends armed with 'digital recording devices' of some sort, the tables could be turned . Those fuckers will be swiftly on the defensive , and rightly so. A question of pressure .

    Paul Mason finshed the extended Newsnight tonight in quite an obvious bait.

    You can check it on I-Player, but he was pretty much saying the following

    Balance sheet:

    We have
    -£113bn Demand
    +£200bn Quantative Easing
    but QE isn't working, hence we are increasing it.

    Also, if the US and EU positions change downward, the whole thing becomes immeasurable.

    Therefore, do the (realtively) "micro-economic" (his term) measures work - those about cutting benefits, increasing taxation?

    At best - BEST (See FT today) - it's an experiment.

    What happens when the experiment fails ? Osbourne et al have a fume cupboard of several millions and a fall out shelter too.

    We need a human liberation movement to protest experiments on living humans.

    Frog

    You're right - I.m not good on the violence front. Subversion is more my style.

    Roger that Leni.

    Also - tactical engagement encompasses both visceral and psychological...

    Food for thought...

  174. It feels like the day after Fatcher got into power and me and my sisters went into school with black armbands on. When asked 'why the armbands' we said.... "we're in mourning for the country".

    I feel like that today. It's as if we've been in a kind of state of denial, truly knowing what's about to be unleashed and yet not wanting to believe it. These bastards mean business and it's up to us to do our best to fight them, even if our fellow citizens have yet to wake up and we have no chance.

    A contingency fund for those in need is a bloody good idea. Count me in. I won't be earning a huge wage but it is steady work.

    Paul Mason is indeed a subversive ;)

  175. btw: Princess Chip Chops: re your enquiry about foreclosures on American mortgates.
    I don't pretend to know fuck all about it but I did read an article from across the "pond" that suggested the banks had "sliced and diced" the the debt so much that the original paperwork couldn't be recovered. So the re-possessions weren't legally binding because the original documemts according to lien and real estate were effectively lost.

    As usual, I could be wrong!

  176. Chekhov/Princess;

    So the re-possessions weren't legally binding because the original documemts according to lien and real estate were effectively lost

    According to the 'rules' about loans etc. in this country - if a bank makes a loan and cannot produce the paperwork to prove it made the loan - they don't have a leg to stand on. The borrower is completely within their rights to tell the Bank to fuck off.

    I've used this twice in my life. Once for myself and once for getting fucking Barclay's off my Mum's back. Basically, if the banks can't prove they 'own' something, it isn't theirs.

    This would bear greater investigation - it may be one of the few loopholes left to the poor and dispossessed.

  177. Surely it is the right time to be entrepreneurial?

    Get insured and a month or two later, for the price of some green tights, I and some cohorts will visit your house, at a given date and time (please allow for traffic).

    We will break into your home, but instead of stealing, we will carry in expensive equipment; plasma TVs, laptops, PCs, stereos, DVD players, etc - photograph them and leave behind the photos and receipts. We'll take them away again and you can claim they were stolen.

    Victimless crime, don't you just love it? I wonder if I could set up a website where all the people getting fucked could learn how to fuck the bastards with all the money?
