A brief snippet – the following graph from a ZeroHedge article showing the share of global exports in 1980 and 2011 grabbed my attention with the declines in every category for things made in the UK :
Interestingly, South Korea’s gains in each category over the last 30 years almost match the UK’s […]
The Wasp is knackered after a long day of wing flapping to return to this strange little isle, where it would seem the government is still as demented as a box of frogs :
The prime minister said it was vitally important the government maintained its “credibility for deficit reduction” so it could continue […]

Via ZeroHedge, with Mark Carney’s appointment to the Governor of The Bank of England, Goldman Sachs domination of Europe is complete :

It is never wise to poke a wasps nest with a stick and expect a happy outcome – firstly from ZeroHedge :

An example of the government implementing EU regulations presented as the government taking strong action via The BBC :

A snippet from a BBC article on Sheffield’s £2 billion PFI funded road improvement program proving that you can buy what the hell you like when spending other people’s money :
Trees and kerbs will also be improved and a further 1,000 litter bins are planned for the city.
Some of the bins are […]
A BBC article this morning that had me spluttering my coffee all over while wondering why the fuck I (and every other tax payer) should be funding shit like this on the NHS :
The rise in women seeking a perfect vagina
Last year more than 2000 labiaplasties were carried out on the NHS, […]
Nigel Farage speaking his mind in his usual frank manner which, as always, leads to a rather amusing interview : _ _
Whilst he is having a dig at Barroso and van Rumpey Pumpey, he also makes a very good point in the interview on the likeness of the EU to the old USSR […]
