#SillyWeek Tory austerity reponsible for stranding of pilot whales

#SpinningForTheTUC_Uncut today announced that the evil Tories and their kitten murdering refusal to create a debt crisis and destroy the lives of our children by enslaving them to debt have directly lead to the death of a pod of pilot whales just off Scotland.

The Pilot Whales, all members of the RMT, stranded themselves in protest against Austerity and to show their support for #RedEd and his Trade Union owners.

The BBC will be running this story on Evil Tories on Today ( 6am, 7am, 8am leading items ), radio 5 live, BBC News channel ( repeating each 30 mins ) and a special aren't the Tories evil edition of Newsround.

Cameron's Ted Heath moment approaches and the country should hold its breath

There are manoeuvres to try to get the Coalition to back away from the necessary austerity. There are reports of a Treasury plan B involving putting some cuts back ( I wonder if that isn't always the case and in many ways it would be worrying if the Treasury didn't always develop alternative scenarios - but they are great for leaking ).

Chris Huhne has given what might be an ill advised interview ( though in politics you can never be sure it isn't the intention ).

The press contains warning about the international situation, and the friction of unintended consequences of any change in taxation and hand outs has already cause much consternation ( though mostly amongst journalists who are in the main group impacted ).

So here we are - apparently Ted Heath knew the Unions had to be dealt with in the 70's, but he lacked the nerve and frankly cunning of Lady Thatcher in carrying out the needed reforms to save the country from left wing destitution.

We all know the debt has to be brought back under control and repaid. But if David Cameron flinches now then it will be another Conservative leader in a decades time who has to confront the same problem - after deadbeat #RedEd and his shallow talent pool shadow cabinet have made things far worse.

So Dave - what's it going to be ?

Austerity Brown

The latest dividing line from the man who keeps thinking of politics as his own personal playground battle is to say the Tories would enjoy austerity.

The polls warn us that a hung parliament, or thanks to the anti-English and anti-Tory bias in our electoral system a Labour minority govt ( the favourite of every Lib Dem except perhaps Nick Clegg - whose tried to work with Brown once a learnt the hard way ), is possible. The markets are scared at the thought.

And here's why.

Who do you think has the competence to cut back the state and reform it so that it performs better without sucking all the oxygen out of the economy as it does now ?

    Gordon Brown - whom even the Labour party has called the road block to reform.
    David Cameron - who has reformed the Conservative party and who has a order of magnitude more able team of MPs to chose from to head up a government.


It quite clear that Brown would fail at Austerity just as he has failed at everything else.

Can you afford it ? Can we afford Gordon's ego and incompetence for another 5 years ? Will anyone in the world be willing to lend us the money to indulge him ?
