WHAT PRICE SOVEREGNTY WHEN HUNGRY

I was going over old ground this morning. Mostly the off-book debt that this government has taken on.

Our local Hospital. At the planning stage it was to cost less than £100 Million. Then it jumped to £129, Million and then when it was built and handed over in 2001, the cost was £229, Million. But that is only the start of the complete and utter nonsense that must have addled the so called "brains" of British Politics. (It could have been the "weed" they smoked.)

The Hospital was handed over to the NHS, in 2001 and the initial building cost was paid, £129. Million. In addition, a further £100. Million was handed over making a total payment of £229. Million.

Then, in 2006, the first Five Yearly, Re-Financing took place and another £116. Million was paid to the assorted people holding the debt, plus of course the Annual Servicing Fee, of £37.5 Million. And don't forget, this goes on for Sixty bloody years. A Service Charge every year, that is adjustable every year. And a Re-Financing every Five years. Even in the year 2061, there is provision to extend the arrangement futher. There is no completion date for the payments. And I do have a copy of this "contract" direct from the DoH.

Another surprise this month, there are now TEN Million people of working age, now living on Benefits of one sort or another, in this country. But of course, these poor people are not un-employed. Only about One Million are un-employed.

I always look at the Election figures. The number of votes available, those that did vote and those that didn't bother. The other figures to take into account are the numbr of working TaxPayers compared to the numbers on the Elactoral Roll. Since 2001, the number of voters has jumped from 27 Million, to 39 Million in '07. Yet the number of working TaxPayers has change from 28, Million to 29,Million. And then, the last time I checked the Tax Revenue's, was in 2005. I still have thoes figures somewhere.

Apart from the very fragile Global Economy, more than 50% of the employed in Gt. Britain
are now occupied with non-jobs. Look at this nonsense with re-cycling, HIPS, Home Information Packs, and that bloody Monsterous, Global Warming. Yes, there is Climate Change but that isn't man-made. This might be a wet year, but the flooding has been made even worse by the change from spring sowing of arable crops, to the autum sowing. Most of the autum and winter rain fall now has to be drained off the land and channeled into the water-courses in a matter of an hour or so. That is the cause of most flooding. The reports are in some country News Papers. Have a look at the EDP archives where the river Bailiff was made to restore the riverbed and not allowed to remove some weed growth. That spring, the river flooded for the first time in many years.

And now that we are on Agricultural matters, what about the worst possible disaster that can happen to the Western world now that we have all but abandoned food production? Has no one
thought of climate change to the extent that given we have now had a very wet period, isn't it just, ever so slightly possible, next year could make up for that and we could have a very very dry year and we lose all our, or nearly all of our food production.

When you consider that the world is over-populated by one or even two Billion people, now would be a good time to re-adjust the Human Population of the world. Have you not noticed that when man starts to get too cocky and thinks he can run the world, change this or that, nature has a most effective way of giving him a good kick in the arse. I have that feeling it is due now,or even over-due.

Hang on to your Hollyhocks folks, there are three or even four Disasters lined up out there just waiting to for the next move. I think you should pray that a major British Bank fails in the next ten days. There is going to be a shortage of food, prices are already on they up.
