Why did Labour Lose

This time it was the turn of the Labour party to lose, Gordon Brown didn’t have the ability to fight the Conservative party, the Liberal Democrats party, and the Labour party all at the same time. Why did they throw the election away? They were on the right track to pull the country round, they had brought the deficit down, the Coalition's Office of Budget Responsibility confirmed it. It would appear that they simply wanted to get rid of Gordon Brown, there was plenty of contenders for his post when he resigned, why didn't they stand against him when he was elected un-opposed?
Gordon Brown stood no chance of getting labour back in power, he just couldn't fight his own party, the conservatives and the Lib Dems all at once.
The American style electioneering which the UK switched to, worked against Gordon Brown as was expected. As with  America, if you throw enough money about you can buy the top post.

At RFT we had a competition with a prize of £100 for the first driver, or contractor to spot a hoarding with a Labour advert on it during the run up to the elections. Nobody won the £100.
Since then the Labour Government has been in opposition, the problem is , they have been in government for so long, they have forgotten what an opposition party is supposed to do.

Student Wake up Call

The recent UK student protest with the attack on Conservative headquarters, did nothing to promote their cause.
The people in charge of the country, the cabinet, the ex Thatcher advisors, and the 35 companies who run this country, are nearly all multi-millionaires, and have no idea of the hardship they are causing.
When they see images such as was shown on TV with protestors throwing missiles from the roof of Millbank House, they don't see the cream of the county's brains protesting, they see a bunch of lawless upstarts bent on revenge.
This sort of protest doesn't work on multmillionaires, it just increases their desire to put all students  down. This sort of protest has never worked in this country, especially against Thatcherite  advisors and governments. You can remember what happened with the Poll tax revolt, and the miners revolt.
It is time the students woke up and acted in a coherent, co-ordinated fashion. The multi-millionaires just laughed at the student protest, it helped their cause, and there was probably discussion how to further anger students into undermining their cause.
Think like a millionaire,  and you can protest on their terms effectively. You should not be just protesting against your tuition fees, at the rate this government is going a University degree won't be worth the paper it is written on, why? because there will be no jobs for you!!!!
The Green Party in Ireland are going to resign enmasse to force a general election in January 2011. How many students have emailed their MP suggesting the same thing? How many students have emailed the opposition party, to ask what they are going to do about it, that is if there is an opposition party. How many prospective law students have bothered researched the law in the light of a court forcing a labour MP out of Parliament, allegedly for printing untruths about his opponent. Case: Nick Clegg and his written undertaking not to increase tuition fees, is that an untruth, or mis-representation

ConDems latest ::.Forced Labour .::

The coalition are continuing with their 'Poor Bashing'. Their latest target are the unemployed, and those on incapacity benefit, by quote "Forcing them to Work, for their own good", very magnanimous of them! They are proposing using the 'carrot and the stick approach' without the carrot. A spokesman, on the politics show [[07-1-10]  denied that they were treating people like prisoners, and forcing them to work as “a chain gang” on the streets. They did say they were forcing these people to work, street cleaning etc. for their own good.[To get them used to work, and getting out of bed], and they would be paid about £1.60 an hour.
If the ConDems start off on a small scale and force 750,000 to do 'Forced Work', the local authorities will have to sack all their street cleaners, gardeners, office staff, office cleaners to take advantage of this forced free workers. Of course this means there will be another 75,000 people out of work! 
 You may remember that we announced the Coalition were axing job creation schemes when they first came to power. They proudly announced that over the last 3 months that figures were available, that they had created 178,000 jobs, but failed to announce that 143,000 were part time jobs, and only 35,000 were full time. At this rate it will take 35 years to find jobs for the 500,000 civil servants they are discarding, as long as none of the other unemployed get there first.
You may remember when they pulled the plug on the Sheffield Forgemaster £80 million loan.The giant factory secured a £80million loan from the Labour Government, to make Sheffield Forgemasters a world leader in forging high tech giant steel reactor cores, currently only available from Japan. With 80% of this production being exported, and an expanded workforce, Sheffield Forgemasters felt the deal was good value money. They received a phone call confirming the loan had been withdrawn, just minutes before Danny Alexander announced it in Parliament. The biggest customer for these was China, this week the G20 summit tried to encourage China to to buy our goods, to help us get out of the mess. China's reply was, when we are ready.
You may remember those famous quotes the Prime Minister and deputy Minister made at the time they cut funding Forge Masters.
David Cameron said "There was a suspicion that while some of these decisions might have been good decisions, not all of them were good decisions and not all of them were good value for money." while Nick Clegg said The truth is that this loan was promised by the outgoing Labour Government as a calculated ploy to win support in Sheffield just ahead of the election, when they knew all along that there simply wasn't the money to keep to that pledge in first place.”

You might think that with the Lib dems taking a Labour candidate to court for making untrue statements, that Labour should go to court and have the Pm and his deputy removed from parliament!

Google Street Car Harvesting Criticized

Google's Street Car Views, have been harversting emails, passwords and wi-fi addresses.  Peter Fleischer, Google's Global Privacy Counsel, said the firm was "profoundly sorry for mistakenly collecting payload data in the UK".

Google said it happened as the result of code written by one of its engineers being mistakenly incorporated in the Street View software.
"Since we announced our mistake in May we have co-operated closely with the  Information Commissioner's Office [ICO] and worked to improve our internal controls," said Mr Fleischer."We are in the process of confirming that there are no outstanding legal obligations upon us to retain the data, and will then ensure that it is quickly and safely deleted."
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) originally declared that “Google’s Street View” was ‘Not an Infringement of UK privacy Laws’. It was Canada’s condemnation of Google by Jennifer Stoddart the Privacy Commissioner, who said "This incident was a serious violation of Canadian's privacy rights", which provoked the UK Information Commissioner to make a “U” turn on the original ruling which said that no data breach had occurred.

The new ruling is that there was a "significant breach" of the Data Protection Act when Google collected personal data via its Street View cars, the UK's Information Commissioner has ruled.

Google to challenge FaceBook


Google is set to go head to head with FaceBook when it launches Google Games later this year. Google  spent  $1.6bn on 40 acquisitions during the first 3 quarters of 2010.
“Acquisitions will also remain an important component of our strategy and use of capital,and we expect our current pace of acquisitions to continue," Google said, and with $33bn in the kitty, who can blame them? Google’s   net profits for the last quarter to the end of September were $2.17bn, up by 32%.
It is also reported that Google made a $100m investment in Zynga, who are responsible for the ‘Farmville’ and ‘Mafia Wars’ games on Facebook. These two games help FaceBook’s  ‘stickiness’ with it’s  500m plus visitors. Zynga is expected to be the centre piece of Google games.
Google also made the news when it announced it was suing the US government, for being unfairly excluded from a $58m deal to revamp e-mail systems at the Department of the Interior.

Cameron causes split in party

David Cameron was “Grandstanding” when he announced that he had a letter signed by 12 EU countries recommending a 2.9% increase in the Budget, instead of the 6% they were asking for. He had previously said he wanted the Budget reduced, or at least a freeze. His grab for publicity was condemned by all parties. According to Paul Nuttall of UKIP, “He said that he would cut the budget, or at least freeze the budget, now he's talking about a 2.9% increase at best - it's crazy


Labour - and Eurosceptics in Mr Cameron's own party - have questioned whether it was much of an achievement.

Shadow foreign secretary Yvette Cooper said: "David Cameron's grandstanding has been a complete failure. European governments decided on 2.9% in August so he has achieved absolutely nothing."He's tried to swing his handbag but simply ended up clobbering himself in the face." As Cameron said previously “There was a suspicion that while some of these decisions might have been good decisions, not all of them were good decisions

Conservative MP Bill Cash, chair of the Commons European Scrutiny Committee, said prime ministers always claimed success when they returned from EU summits, but the 2.9% increase was what the Council of Ministers had originally agreed - and British MPs had already voted to reject a higher increase.

Conservative peer Lord Tebbit said: "He would do better to go down fighting than to surrender in some Vichy-style arrangement, pretending to hold on to sovereignty by agreeing to what Europe demands."

David Cameron said he had “succeeded spectacularly”.

Coalition Out Of Touch

George Osborne is expecting the private sector to generate jobs, in order to reboot the economy. He points to the last quarter figures available, June to August saying that 178,000 jobs were created. What he doesn’t say is that 143,000 were only part time jobs. Of the 35,000 full time jobs created in a quarter, it will take, at that rate, 35 years to find full time jobs for the 500,000 the government is laying off from civil service. Never mind anybody else.
Ian Duncan Smith the former Tory Leader, now the Work and Pensions Secretary, suggested unemployed people in Merthyr Tydfil should “get on a bus" to find work.

The former Tory leader claimed people were unaware they could take a one-hour bus journey to Cardiff for work. Labour politicians and unions said it echoed 1980s Tory minister Lord Tebbit's "get on your bike" comments. "That generation of Conservatives thought unemployment was the fault of the unemployed and with every action and utterance from this Government, it is clear that they are the true inheritors of that tradition.


The Condms keep claiming the Budget, and the Spending Review are fair. But they won't say who to! They claim they inherited the highrst deficit in living memory, I reported on the 17th June 2010 that the O.B.R. confirmed that the budget deficit was £23 bn lower that in the previous quarter, due to the measures put in place by the labour party.
IT WAS THE DISGUSTING SPECTACLE OF CONDEM MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT LAUGHING AND CHEERING WHEN CUTS WERE ANNOUNCED WHICH WOULD AFFECT THE POOREST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY, WHICH OFFENDED THE BRITISH PUBLIC.

The spending review was interrupted with shouts from the labour opposition when they suggested that this is what the ConDems had become MP’s for.
It was a sickening sight to see the ConDems showing their contempt for the British Public on television to the whole world .

UK Spending Review: Welfare

George Osborne went for the juggular, when he hammered the poorest and most vulnerable UK citizens.
He hacked £18bn from the welfare budget, and along with 28% cut to local councils, a lot of the services provided free for the incapacitated and the old will be axed.
He claimed his budget review was fair, but economist say diferrent. The Instiute of Fiscal Studies, an independent organisation, included all the cuts in their calculations, and came to the conclusion that it was the poorest who have been hit the hardest, and with cuts in local services, they will suffer even more.
The Condems massaged the figures for the schools budget, saying they had increased it by 0.1%. When you take into account the fact that the schools population is set to grow at 0.7%, the actual figure is a reduction of 0.6%.
Nick Clegg and David Cameron met the public in a televised meeting, to promote their idea of fairness. Both were uncomfortable with the hostile reception they got, and the fact that the audience continually complained they were hitting the poor, the ill and the old, as well as children the hardest. David cameron was furious, and several times went so red in the face with annoyance that he was being question by the public, that he looked as though he could burst a blood vessel.
He repeated several times the old lie about having to do this, the alternative of doing nothing would store debt up and be worse off. It has never been a case of slash and burn, or do nothing. They used the cuts labour had planned and costed, and added some more.
Nick Clegg repeated several times that it was fair, and that the general public should not believe the Labour Government,  the Instiute of Fiscal Studies and other economist who had been supplied with the figures from the treasury. They used all the figures and not been selective.

UK Budget 2010

On Sunday George Osborn said on television, that 35 of the top companies in the UK [not necessarily UK owned], had seen, and approved the budget cuts, saying they will be good for creating jobs. The same companies who forced this government to back down on the announced rise on employers N.I. contributions. Of course it is only right that these companies know in advance of parliament, what the cabinet is planning. The budget didn’t propose anything about creating jobs, just about cutting them; about 1 million job cuts were announced this week.


The ConDems did leak a document to the newspapers, before announcing it in parliament concerning the closing of certain “quangos”. Hoping to get the better of Labour by doing this, the papers simply took the copy they had printed in March of this year when Labour announced the abolishment of the same quangos, and substituted the word Coalition for the word Labour in their copy.

We all saw Danny Alexander posing for photos, with the budget document opened to enable reporters to photograph it.

Latest Coalition Cuts

The ConDems are planning massive cuts to the funding of UK Universities.
Planned cuts from the current £3.9 billion the government currently subsidise the Universities to a only £7 million will leave the students having to pay alot more for their education. the current ceiling that Universities can charge students is £3290 a year, this is to be scrapped and Universities can charge ht ever they wish.
 Lord Browne , former boss of BP feels that this give more power to the students. The Universities will be able to double, treble or even quadruple their fees, this will according to Lord Browne will take power away from the Universities, and give power to the studentys. The students will have the power to say, no I can't afford to go to university, I wasn't aware that at present, they didn't have this power.
Lord Browne, has calulated that a student will make 400% profit from paying the extra tuition fees. Only the important science, or medical courses will have a small piece of the £7million, the other courses wil get nothing.
Lord Browne as well as most of the government gained their university degrees funded for them by the tax payer. the LibDems won there seats, by pledging to abolish universitive fees. The conservatives have stooped the school building programmes in order to fund their own type of "Free Schools" while also stopping the refurbishment of derelict school our children are going to. Unfortunately the condition of some schools, with leaking roofs and no heating, are not the concern of this government. If these children were animals, they would have rights, as human beings they have none.
I don't know how much Lord Browne was paid to suggest the government investment in university funding should be cut from £3.9 billion to just £7million, it probably took less than 1 hour to think of it  and write it down.
I think that all MP's should work for free, that will save the country millions of pounds, my fee for this suggestion is a mere £2.5 million. read more

Twitter Update


You may have noticed that just lately all your Twitter apps have changed. This is because Twiter is now using 'OATH' and the apps you have been using can no longer store your password. Tweetader is one that has changed, with  a few additions, and unfortunately one facility they have dropped is the 'refress button'.
Twitter are rolling out a new home page to enable you to link to all your favourite social sites. I suspect that we will be having targeted ads on our home pages shortly, similar to those on Facebook.
I have updated  the tweaks and techniques you can use to get more from Tweetadder and Twitter. the page is here. Hope you like it!

You are about to lose ALL YOUR PRIVACY

If you thought the last post gave you some cause for alarm, wait until you read what is being planned.
About 12 months ago Apple lost a court case prohibiting people unlocking their phones, and going with a cheaper tariff, and allowing people to run third party apps on their phones. At the same time, Apple were applying for a patent to collect and store customer information, in order to wipe the phone clean, and disable it in the event of it being stolen. Good news you may think: well think again.
Apple intend to fit a microphone to their cell phones, which will record and transmit data back to Apple as long as the phone is turned on. Apple will also have the ability to record what you say on your phone, and your surfing habits.
The phone will also take a photograh of the person using the phone without them realising, and it will take a photo of your surroundings.
Apple will know where you have been, where you are now, what stores you have beeen into, what you have said to your doctor or solicitor,what websites you have visited, they will also know what you have said on our phone, and if you put you phone on your bedside cabinet, well you can guess what will happen.

Twitter +Tweetadder = lots more followers


The post “Be a Guest Blogger” was widely read, and resulted in a massive increase in the number of people who subscribed to the feed and to an average of 200 extra people a day who followed us on Twitter.


The article “How to Use Twitter Effectively ” also had an equally successful reception. Both these blogs show the very effective method of using 3 different blog intro’s to the same article. Check them out on these blogs. On our site, on our server, and on Googles’ Blogspot.

The response from these has prompted me to write this article ‘Tweetadder and Twitter’. Your Tweets on twitter are available for anyone in the world to read [unless you have made them private], so why not make money out of them? I mentioned Tweetadder in my last post, if you haven’t downloaded the free trial yet, I strongly recommend you do it now. They are other versions of this on the internet, all more expensive [one I have seen is over $800 A MONTH]. Currently in excess of 600 people have downloaded the free trial from the article ‘How to Use Twitter Effectively’

Twitter for Business

Business twitter users have a great advantage over the majority of users. The primary focus for a business is a 2 pronged campaign. Firstly to drive visitors to your site, and secondly to brand your company name or, reinforce the brand. A company has the potential to create many Twitter accounts. Since we have been using twitter, we have seen a marked increase in the number of targeted visitors. The way 60% of our visitors found us was through Google, now Twitter is sending us about the same number of visitors as Google does, every day. Dell Computers has 100 staff doing nothing else but send out tweets, each one uses a different username, and the email is ‘username’ @del.com. Does that tell you anything?


What Twitter Won’t tell you.

After a couple of weeks you can grow your twitter followers by 400 to 500 a week. The problem is the 2,000 figure. As you are approaching the 2,000 figure, Twitter limits the number of Follows you can send out.[By any method] If you have for instance 1,800 followers you can only send out a maximum of 200 follows,[The problem 2,000 figure] which if you are working on the recommended 3 day cycle by the Tweetadder, is only 66 a day. As you get closer to the 2,000 figure it gets harder. You can try unfollowing some followers, but this tends to defeat the object. When you have reached the 2,000 mark Twitter restrict the ratio of follows to followers to 1.1 which slows down the growth for some considerable time. read the full article

UK CoalitionSplit?

The Conservatives have started to open the split between themselves and the Lib-Dems. Vince Cable the Business Secretary announced plans for a ‘Graduate tax’ for university students; this was later overruled by the Tories who preferred students to pay the Universities Direct. Tory ministers are said to prefer a system where some graduates pay more, generating more places for the rich and the overseas students, depriving working class students of places. Labour called this ‘shambolic’


The Conservatives distanced themselves from the Lib Dems after Nick Cleggs’ first, and probably last, P.M.s question time, when he said the Iraq war was illegal. Many Tories who voted for the Iraq war took it as a personal attack on them.

David Cameron belittled Britain, the country he is supposed to promote, when he told the Americans that Britain was a junior partner to America in 1940 in the war against Germany. In fact the Americans weren’t interested in helping Britain in 1940, It wasn’t until 1941 after Pearl Harbour was bombed, that the Americans joined

I will apologise to the British Public on behalf of David Cameron who can’t remember the tremendous sacrifices the British people made during that terrible war, or even when they made them. The British people fought for the freedom of this country and others, most of whom are grateful, and wouldn’t dream of belittling what their ancestors did for Britain. Cameron may not respect the memories of those who died in order that we might live in a free country, with freedom of speech, but the British people respect those memories with pride.

In a recent poll carried out for Newsnight 42% of Lib-Dem voters would not have voted for their party if they had known they would be part of a coalition. On the Conservative side only 14% said they would not have voted for their party if they had known of their leader’s intention to form a coalition.

60% of Tory voters felt their party had been weakened by the coalition with the Lib-Dems: They felt they no longer knew what their party stood for.

53% of the Lib-Dems felt their party had been weakened by the coalition with the Tories.

Lord Ashdown, when interviewed on Newsnight, suggested he would like to see the government "make haste a bit more slowly" and that it was sometimes wiser to test new policies out in pilot schemes before making decisions.

Recession :: Was it Hard for You?

You might have thought the recession was quite hard, think again.
There is a lot more to come, with companies following the government’s lead of Slash and Burn. Already a lot of supermarkets have put up their prices as they did in the recession. The fear of customers spending less has prompted price increases to generate extra profits. Fuel has gone up since the Emergency Budget, which will further increase prices.


600,000 public sector jobs are to go under the Coalition, some of these jobs will be filled by recruiting new, lower grade staff, and promoting them more slowly. At the same time it is expected increase of 2.5million extra jobs being created, with 1.95 million in the Private Sector. According to Channel 4 News A leaked Treasury document today suggested 1.3 million jobs will be lost as a result of the budget, by 2014/15. The Office of National Statistics showed an increase in the jobless total of 281,000 in the last 3 months, giving a total figure of people out of work at 2.38 million

Research by the Oxford Economics consultancy this month shows that 2.3m private sector jobs were dependent on state contracts in areas like IT, defence and hospitals. As public spending falls, those employees are in jeopardy.

Harriet Harmen the acting labour Leader attacked David Cameron over the leaked Treasury Document Cameron later said: "You don't seem to understand. Unemployment is going to be falling during this Parliament. We've published the full figures. But it's not now us publishing the figures. It's the OBR."[I think that’s called Passing the Buck]”

The head of the OBR, [Office of Budget Responsibility] Sir Alan Budd is to step down to enjoy his retirement, Reuters reported. [I suspect there will be more to come on this story]

We could be following in Ireland’s footsteps as they introduced their Austerity Package, with high inflation and 25% unemployed in Ireland, record house repossessions, and many companies struggling to fight off bankruptcy. And we still have the possibility of the debt crisis in the Euro Zone countries impacting on our economy, and our banking system.

As I said, “You might have thought the recession was quite hard, think again.”

Successisnowhere

Successisnowhere


How would you interpret the title?


If you interpreted it as Success Is Now Here, that would indicate you are not prepared to let the present economic climate dampen your entrepreneurial skills, or your inability to acquire these skills. The next few years will be a challenge to some, and a stimulus to others, and a disaster to others, whether we dip into recession, or just bounce along above it.


It will be the incentive for the successful to increase their market share, or the time to acquire additional income streams, as the recession was the catalyst for many to expand; the following years will be the time to build on that success.

If you interpreted it as Success Is Nowhere, it could be a hard time over the next few years for you. What you need is P.M.A. [Positive Mental Attitude]


P.M.A. is the motivational force behind any successful venture. If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will believe in you.

You can be successful, therefore you will be successful.

ConDem Coalition

Ian Duncan Smith following the ConDems [sorry for the typo] policy  of half truths, when he said the life expectancy for men was 89 and for women 90. He was accused of fiddling the figures in an attempt to soften the idea of “Work till you Drop The actual government figures from the National Statistics Office are 77 for a man and 82 for a woman. The chances are for people doing a heavy job retiring at 70 are that if they do survive to pension age, they won’t enjoy it for long.

France was paralysed by strikes when it was suggested that their retirement age should be increased from 60 to 62yrs.

Vince Cable said that claimants may see their payments dwindle or dry up after a fixed period to enable the £193billion to be used to give relief to other government departments.

David Cameron has been shamed into following Gordon Browns’ example of giving up his right to a PMs pension of £66,000 p.a. Read The Full article

Post budget Review

George Osborne's emergency budget is an indication of the pain this government intends to inflict on the British Public. More will come in the Autumn.
As expected the conservatives have hit the low paid workers hard, and are still showing their old hostility towards single parents. The rich, the bankers, and the large companies came off better than they had hoped for, small companies will be hit hard by the higher VAT, and the increased insurance premium.
All investment in job creation shemes have been scrapped, they expect that as the public sector shrinks, the private sector will take up the slack.
The top 4 UK banks concentrate their lending on high earning commercial mortgages, with only 3% of their lending going to help businesses take up the slack in the economy.
For the first time in 2 years one member of the Bank of England has recommended an interest rate rise.
With unemployment, and inflation rising, it would appear that the Conservatives  are relying on the few workers we have left to foot the tax increases.
The government initially tried to copy the Canadian example of regenerating the UK, until everybody told the Government that the Canadian example wouldn't work.
Their flagship "Free Schools" copied from the Swedish, is another example they are quoting. The trouble is the Swedish example didn't work in Sweden.
They are now trying to copy the German example of "Austerity Packages", but in truth they are probably copying the example set by Japan in the 90's. Cuts without job stimulation : this caused 10 years of stagnant growth.
The Lib Dems which  the Conservatives bought for just 22 ministerial positions, are now just there for window dressing, having sold out their electorate for a supposed power.  Read More

The Truth about Pre Budget Cuts

Nick Clegg :: “The truth is that this loan was promised by the outgoing Labour Government as a calculated ploy to win support in Sheffield just ahead of the election, when they knew all along that there simply wasn't the money to keep to that pledge in first place.” What is he talking about?.. The Sheffield Forgemaster £80mill loan to produce giant reactor cores, 80% going for export, more jobs. [Made Labour look good]

Cameron::”There was a suspicion that while some of these decisions might have been good decisions, not all of them were good decisions and not all of them were good value for money.

Cameron:: “I will protect frontline services” “I will not dismantle the NHS

Alexander:: “new North Tees and Hartlepool hospital cancelled”. [Made Labour look good]

Alexander :: “ I have found another £1bill black hole

Treasury :: “ Unable to say what it is

Cameron :Free Schools - any body can set them up720 groups express an interest. Cost £25mill to £30 mill each school. Total money available £50 mill in first year. There was a suspicion that while some of these decisions might have been good decisions, not all of them were good decisions and not all of them were good value for money... Read the Full Article

OBR confirm deficit £23 Billion less than expected.

The OBR confirmed that the deficit the coalition faces is £23 Billion less than expected, due to the policy measures put in place by Alistair Darling, making the justification for heavy cuts in public spending and higher taxes less credible. It also confirmed that household income was relatively strong through the recession as weaker salaries were supported by tax changes such as the temporary cut in VAT.


The current chancellor George Osborne appears to be still committed to finding £85 Billion in order to balance the books by the end of the current coalition term.[A commitment he made in January 2010] Of the £85 Billion approximately £68 Billion will be in cuts, and £17 Billion in tax rises. There is speculation that due to the structural deficit increasing this year by an estimated £12 Billion, he will increase tax rises an extra £2.4 Billion.

The Coalition has often referred to the Canadian model in the 90’s and the reductions they made to their deficit. Fortunately sufficient knowledgeable people have convinced them that this would not work. Possible they have been looking at what Japan did in the 90’s. This led to 10 years of stagnant growth.

The Times in a light hearted analogy between The World Cup and politics, suggesting ‘England team now would hardly have a slower centre-half pairing if Cameron and Clegg swapped with Terry and Carragher (would the Government suffer notably?)’.

Hydrogen car :: Equivalent to 300 M.P.G.



The UK's first Hydrogen fuelled car from Riverspeed. They insist this is not a prototype, with Leicester agreeing to take the first 30 cars prior to it being available to the public.
The two seat vehicle was designed by a small team of British motorsport engineers and was built at Silverstone. It has a maximum cruising speed of 50 mph and a range on one tank
of hydrogen of at least 200 miles. With a body made of lightweight composites it weighs
only 350kg and thanks to novel design principles is able to do the equivalent of 300 miles
per gallon. Hydrogen produces nothing but a few drops of water from the exhaust,
although to achieve true “zero emission” credentials the fuel must be produced from
renewable energy sources.
Riversimple will generate revenue in a very different way to other car companies;

instead of selling a car as a product, we will sell mobility as a service. Customers will
pay a fixed monthly and per mile charge, getting the flexible mobility that owning a car
provides, without the burdens; tax, fuel costs, insurance and vehicle depreciation. This
sale of service model motivates Riversimple to build cars with a long operating life (up
to 20 years) that are highly economical to use, since we receive revenue throughout
the life of the car and also pay the costs throughout.

Cameron blames Labour for the debt crises

Cameron blames Labour for the debt crises, and which he claims was even worse than he thought. Alistair Darling told the BBC this was nonsense, the only thing that had changed was that when Cameron took over, we were borrowing £11 billion less than was forecast in March. How can £11 billion reduction in one month be worse than he thought?

Rule Changes to Stabilise Coalition?

David Cameron is planning to change the rules on how an election is called, in order to quote ‘to help the stability of his coalition government’. This is what the conservatives say is fair government.
The deal agreed between the conservatives and the lib-dems is for a fixed 5 year term for the present government, and it can’t be dissolved without the support of 55% of the MPs. Conveniently the coalition doesn’t have 55% of the MP’s needed, so they cannot dissolve parliament. And coincidentally the lib-dems along with all the other MPs doesn’t have 55% either. So the conservatives can get rid of the lib-dems anytime they want, and nobody can do anything about it.

That’s open, fair government, designed to rekindle trust in MPs, well at least David Cameron thinks absolute power is fair to him.

Scammers Hit UK Again

The latest scam to hit the UK with a vengeance is being operated using mobile phones. It started about 3 weeks ago with a simple text message from a supposed legal company, asking if you have had an accident in the last two years. The text message invites you to reply ‘NO’ to stop future messages.
The mobile numbers are randomly generated by computer, and by texting ‘No’ it confirms to the scammers your number is live, enabling them to build a list for future scam campaigns. When they have extracted sufficient cash from the list, the list is then sold on to other scammers. Read More..   Vic Farron

UK Democracy is Dead

The UK has a new government voted in democratically by the citizens of the UK. What a laugh !
The Conservative voters, voted for the Conservative Policies: They didn’t get those policies they voted for.
The Lib.Dem. Voters, voted for the LIB. Dem. Policies: They didn’t get those policies they voted for.
The Labour Voters, voted for the Labour Policies: They didn’t get those policies they voted for.

The Conservatives and the Lib. Dems. ditched their manifestos in the selfish pursuit of power. The two leaders have dictated to the UK what they will get. At least Gordon Brown stuck to his election promises, and didn’t compromise his integrity.

That’s Dictatorship spelt Democracy

One of the first things the UK voters have to suffer is that the new Government will pass a bill giving them a 5 year fixed term. That is 5 years of policies that the majority of the country don’t want. There isn’t one voter in the country that elected their MP to pass this law. Is this being power crazy, or just the fact that they expect the country to rebel against not getting the policies they voted for.

That’s 5 years of Dictatorship spelt Democracy.

Every MP was voted in because of his party promoting fair change. What is fair about telling the electorate what they intend to do, then in the pursuit of absolute power, compromise themselves by ditching policies and agreeing to support each other to force changes beneficial to themselves.

Is 5 years of absolute power Fair?

Is This Your family

I was reading the part of the budget again concerning the increase in fuel duty. You may remember I did predict that as the world came out of recession the price of fuel would start to rise again. Although the oil companies increase the price of fuel more than the government increase the tax, we all pay the price in increased delivery costs, and of course when the duty is increased, or the oil companies put the price up, the private motorist also has to pay the increased VAT as well.
As part of a promotional email campaign 8 Years ago, I wrote several articles ‘The Average UK Family’ which charted a hypothetical day in the life of an average family, and how RFT Express with the contracts and deliveries we were making at the time, contributed to their standard of living. Sadly a lot of the companies we were delivering for have fallen by the wayside during the recession.
What the article does show, is that everything you own, use, wear or eat has been transported by road, by several vehicles. The house you live in came by road, your place of work, every piece of equipment, every machine, was transported by road.
I have reproduced one of the articles, I know several important decision makers in government read the blog, this could be a gently reminder of how increased fuel duty impacts on everyone.

Talking People – Not Politics

We all know that whichever party is in power after the election, life is going to get a lot harder with tax rises of one sort or another and cuts in services. There are a lot of people out there who have lost their jobs, and have little hope of finding employment for some time. They are claiming benefits to which they are entitled through the National Insurance contributions they have paid in the past.
I have talked to a lot of people who have always worked, and lost their jobs. They feel many emotions, anger at losing their jobs through no fault of their own, frustration at the lack of available jobs, despair that they cannot support their families to the standard they have been accustomed to, worry that there is a possibility that they may lose their home, and probably most of all they feel they have lost their dignity and self respect.
Now I am not going to talk politics, BUT, during the sixties and seventies they were a couple of schemes that appeared to remedy the above situation, and help industry expand. The government of the day, faced with mounting payments for the unemployed, and lack of growth in industry, brought out a scheme where they would pay companies to employ those workers who were on the dole. This gave companies both large and small a real incentive to expand and create more jobs. The scheme was very simple; the government used the money they would have to pay for the basic unemployment benefits, and gave it to the company for up to a year to help pay the wages of any one they employed, who had been out of work for a certain length of time.
This gave an incentive to companies to expand, most of all it gave the unemployed person a real job, and gave them their self respect back again. The cost so far to the British taxpayer, the same as keeping that person unemployed, except that now the government would make money from the previously unemployed on their National insurance contributions, and their income tax.

New:: Article Directory and PDF Library

Launched a few days ago the New Article Directory has proved an overwhelming success, giving visitors better access to all the articles, with interest from as far away as China, Japan, and Taiwan.
The PDF Library covers the RFT articles and UK Gov., as well as the VOSA and RoSPA sites
Google announced on Friday that it would take speed into account when ranking websites. That means that websites will have to remove a lot of the pictures, or make them smaller and of a poorer quality. RFT Express will have to remove the Google translation bar, as this is slow to load and holds the site up from loading until the server has contacted Google. The same goes for the scrolling text.
One alternative is to pay out a fortune for a very fast server, based in the US [ Google take into account where your server is based] RFT Express has a lot of foreign visitors, so we are still going to leave the old translator on the blog, this loads quicker but it is old technology.
The advantage to it is that once you have translated the blog, if you use the links on the site it will automatically translate every page you go to, and it will translate automatically the next site you go to [provided you use the links on the site.] I went on to facebook, and RFT Express Parcels, and Yorkshire Courier, and they all translated ok. I also followed the link on UK Pensions, and this translated the Direct Gov site, and each link I followed on there.
RFT understand that the take-over of Readers Digest has been completed, and a statement will be issued this week. It is expected that Readers Digest will no longer be available in print, but will be published on line.
We have the election coming up in a few weeks; I have always stayed clear of writing about politics, religion and race, so you will be spared that.
Nationwide Building Society has caused a great stir this week, as from 05/06/10 they are banning their customers with cash cards from drawing less that £100 from the counter. You can read the full story by Paul Lewis of the BBC You might wonder whose money it is, the Building Society or the customers !!!
The Halifax tried this some time ago, the way people reacted was not what the Halifax wanted. Customers wanting less than £100 with their cash cards, on being told they couldn’t have their money, simply drew out the £100, then when the clerk asked politely if there was anything else they could do for them, the customers simply said yes, I would like to put the extra money I have had to draw out back in to my cash card account.

Twitter has announced the ‘Pay per Tweet’ for industry and people who want to pay to advertise their Tweets.
Businesses in the UK are showing more confidence in the economy, and starting to increase turnover.

Reduce Driving Costs Part 2

I have been driving vans and wagons for the last 50 years, with only 1 endorsements for speeding [In a Sprinter] and no accidents. Times have changed a lot during that time, vehicles have got faster, roads are better, speed cameras have been invented, mobile phones and sat navs are the two inventions we can’t live without, or so we think. Seven or eight years ago I could drive to probably around 1000 different industrial estates around the country, with out even looking at a map. Nothing spectacular in that, every wagon driver and courier could do the same. About this time I was on 24 hour standby for a large printing firm, I would get a call to pick up a load, when I collected the load and asked for the address, if I was lucky they gave me the name of the firm I had to deliver to, more often than not all the night staff new was the initials of the firm, occasionally they knew the town. [This was all the information the night staff had on their work ticket.] Read the full article

Reduce Driving Costs

The way you drive can affect your income. Couriers were renowned for using excessive speed, the attitude being, the sooner I get this job done- the sooner I can start on the next. Unfortunately in this day and age, this reasoning doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. For a start off you may not have another job to go to, and taking on too much work can result in excessive driving hours, something the new C.P.C. has been brought in to combat.
But let’s talk about saving money first. The government have been pushing manufactures to produce vehicles which are less harmful to the environment, and do more miles to the gallon/litre. Manufacturers have tackled this on several fronts, firstly vans are now more aerodynamic increasing efficiency, secondly by reducing weight, and thirdly most, if not all, new vans now have six gears.
The weight reductions mostly in the engines increases efficiency, in the short term at a future cost.

Meet My Co-Driver- The Half Dog

I thought it was time to tell you a little about myself, and of course my half dog. The dog is not really a half a dog; it’s just that I have him for about half a week while my son works. I sometimes think my son bought the dog, a Border Collie because he thought I needed more exercise in my supposed retirement. Unfortunately because of pressure of work, my first contract run starts at 4-30 a.m. five days a week, and invariably I have to take up some of the excess work load that comes in, which tends to be every day. Tomorrow for instance on top of the first contract I have two other long distance deliveries, which if I don’t manage to combine the two loads, it will mean calling in the temp drivers and hiring another vehicle. All our vehicles are fully booked for tomorrow, and all the office staff are out on the road again. The subcontractors are taking a lot of the excess workload, but I am still ringing round trying to place loads. Unfortunately a lot of our high profile clients insist they have the same driver every time, which complicates things. Read the full article

Readers Digest Latest

I reported in my blog Readers Digest on the 18th February that Readers Digest had gone into administration, and that ‘Readers Digest [UK] is a profitable company, with a strong brand and should have no difficulties attracting bids.’
Only nine days later on the 27th February the administrator, Philip Sykes said ‘There is "significant interest" in Reader's Digest from potential buyers, he was "reasonably optimistic" and that negotiations with investors had begun’.
The American owners, Readers Digest Association are actively marketing advertising space in the May edition to media agencies. They also confirmed that the famous prize draw would continue, and that future campaigns would be reviewed. Reading between the lines, maybe the administrator could be considering a deal to include the parent company as well. The parent company Readers Digest Association filed for bankruptcy protection last year in the US.

Cyberbullying:What every parent and child should know

What Every Parent Should Know:-
Cyberbullying is different to the normal school playground bullying, in that it happens in the privacy of the Childs home. I say ‘the privacy of home’ for the simple reason that a lot of parents still believe a child or young person is safe from bullying in their home.
Direct Gov on the Young People page describe Cyberbullying is when one person or a group of people try to threaten, tease or embarrass someone else by using a mobile phone or the internet. Cyberbullying is just as harmful as bullying in the real world. If you see it happening, report it. Don't ignore it.
The most common occurrences of bullying take place in the form of telephone calls or texts messages to your child’s mobile, through social sites, instant messaging, such as MSN, Video hosting sites such as Utube, web cams and gaming sites. This type of bullying is often compounded by other people deliberately, or unintentionally, resending emails, or commenting on videos.
Unfortunately this is not the only way your child could be under attack, or even you. Read the full article and make sure you email this article to a friend, and let them protect their children.

The Demise of Readers Digest UK

Readers Digest announced that they had gone into administration yesterday. This move has been expected after rumours that Readers Digest had a shortfall in its UK Pension Fund of £125million. The American owners of Readers Digest, the Readers Digest Association agreed to pay a small percentage of the deficit, but was over-ruled by the regulator.
The administrator went on television, confirming that Readers Digest would carry on as usual until a buyer was found. It is understood that Readers Digest [UK] is a profitable company, with a strong brand and should have no difficulties attracting bids. The American readers digest was formed in 1922 and the UK version in 1938, and now has a circulation of over half a million. The 1000th edition was published in 2005.
B.T. announced on the 11th February that they would pay off its £9 billion pension deficit. Previously BT had agreed to pay an extra £525m into the scheme in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Now it has agreed to continue the process for a further 14 years, starting with £583m in 2012 and rising by 3% a year thereafter.

Google’s New Universal Search

Google announce the first steps toward a universal search model, offering users a more integrated and comprehensive way to search online.


Google's vision for universal search is to ultimately search across all its content sources, compare and rank all the information in real time. Beginning today, Google will incorporate information from a variety of previously separate sources – including videos, images, news, maps, books, and websites – into a single set of results.

Google is also in the process of deploying a new technical infrastructure that will enable the search engine to handle the computationally intensive tasks required to produce universal search results. The company is also releasing the first stage of an upgraded ranking mechanism that automatically and objectively compares different types of information. As always, Google™ search results are ranked automatically by algorithms to deliver the best results to users anywhere in the world. You can read the more on this press release here.

WEB CEO is a one of the most important free Search Engine Optimisation programmes, the link to this free programme is available on our web site One of the segments of the WEB CEO programme is a tracking tool, [this is a paid for addition]. They track over 300,000 websites and have produced graphs from January 2009 to January 2010, showing where visitors have come from to these websites. As expected Google are still the main source of visitors, what is interesting is where the other visitors come from....

UK Scam list

According to the Office Of Fair Trading [OFT] 10% of Britons have fallen for scams, either email scams, telephone scams using high pressure sales techniques, selling non existent products, and postal scams. Email scams are the biggest culprit, with 73% of adults receiving one last year, with 2 million people losing more than £50 to scammers. The scammers circulate lists, between each other, of the names of people who have fallen for these scams.


The latest scam is an email supposedly from the Inland Revenue, claiming you are due a tax rebate, and asking you to supply your bank details. Most of these scams originate from abroad. Be vigilant, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn’t.

Google search Tips

Google Search engines are responsible for 85% of the on line searches, of this approximately 65% were for people wanting to buy something; the other 20% were classed as research.


We give you some tips on how to use Google as the professionals do, and find what you are looking for quicker.



Be Specific with Google Searches



1 Lets say you want to find a ‘Courier’ firm. If you enter the word :- ‘Couriers’ you will come up with millions of courier firms, and finding the one you want will take a long time



2 You can clarify your search by specifying an area:- ‘Yorkshire Couriers’, or narrow it down a little more by using the term ‘Yorkshire Parcel Couriers’



3 If you are looking for a specialised courier, most specialised couriers will have optimised their site for phrases people will type in for that particular specialised market, such as :- ‘ Hanging Garment Deliveries’. Or more specific:-‘Hanging Garment Deliveries UK and Europe’

The more specific your search is, the easier it is to find what you are looking for.



You can use the ‘This Or That’



All search terms are usually not case sensitive. This term is case sensitive, the ‘OR’ must be in uppercase.:- for example ‘hanging garment deliveries europe OR pallet deliveries uk and europe’





Similar Words



If you are searching for a specific word, and you want to include similar words or synonyms. Use ‘~’ between the words. :- for example ‘ Courires~transport’



Exclude Words



If you want to exclude words from the Google search use ‘-‘ between the words. :- for example ‘Couriers – Transport’



Site search



If you want to search a site, such as this one for a particular phrase, use site:www.rftexpresscouriers.co.uk:- for example “1p per mile” site:www.rftexpresscouriers.co.uk



Numerical Range search



To find results that contains any of a range of numbers. Use this ‘..’ search parameter for example :- Births 1967..2010 or laptop £200..£300



Calculator



You can type your expression direct into the Google search box. Example 35% of 17. More examples on http://www.google.com/help/cheatsheet.html



Converter



Convert currency, GBP to US Dollars ,sizes from metric to inches, litres to gallons, Example 1 metre=?inches
