F*** off, mate!

Read - F*** off, mate! How the Aussies repelled Iranian gunboats (unlike our own hapless sailors)
By RICHARD SHEARS in the Daily Mail.

After reading the above article you're left wondering what has gone wrong with the Royal Navy. Mixed ships, Lesbian brawls in port, poor leadership and no one taking responsibility.

The Royal Navy's reputation is in tatters, and they will have to work very hard to get it back - if they ever start.

The white wash investigations published recently just make matters worse. There may well be internal processes ( maybe even confiscated iPods - but that sounds a bit risky for the Navy ), but leadership demanded demonstrable action and accountability. Yet again the Navy failed.

This plain refusal to serve the nation started with NuLabour's willingness to just lie if they thought they could get away with it - deny facts and mislead.

The cancer has spread.

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
