An article in today's Independent is called, "George Osborne is on a mission but I still don't know what it is". If you can give credit to the Tories for anything it is for consistency of purpose and for achieving their longterm goals. Osborne's mission is the same as Thatcher's and it is to bring about what sociologists call 'the weightless state'. Never underestimate the right-wing objective of transferring ownership of all public sector services and functions to the private sector and submit them to the imperatives of profit-making and market forces. However, Osborne's mission in the long-term is doomed to failure because the free market ideology that drives it is flawed and is based on a whole series of false hypotheses. The most fundamental of these is the neoliberal concept of human nature. The Thatcherite mantra that there is no such thing as society is simply wrong and is the result of this flawed notion of the nature of the human being.
The free market human being is an atomised aggressive individual. The free market economic being is rational with clear moral objectives. This being is also self-interested but in the free market universe self-interest is interpreted as selfishness. All of these concepts are wrong. Thus Osborne's mission is founded on a whole raft of false hypotheses and, if you base your programme on a false hypothesis then your outcomes will be wrong as well. That is the fundamental reason why none of the Westminster parties have a clue not only what caused the financial crisis, but how to remedy it. They are all locked into an ideological staitjacket from which they have no idea how to escape. If you deny the existence of society and think only in terms of individuals and families then you are denying yourself an understanding of the human reality. Social problems demand social solutions, you cannot solve a social problem with a series of policy options that are designed for individuals.
However, all of this is giving credit to the Tories and Labour for wanting to solve our social problems, but that is not the case. The truth is not that the Tories do not believe in society, it is that they have abandoned it. They deny society because their aim is not the greater social good, but the enrichment and benefit of a small section of society, the rest of society will have to get by as well as they can on what is left over. It is very difficult for the British people to come to terms with the actual aims and goals of the British elite. They cannot grasp the extent of their criminality as they find it difficult to believe that they would actually do such things, that they would actually use the system of government in such a despicable manner. It is not that the Westminster elite don't care about the poor and the disabled etc.it is that they hate them with a passion. They hold the poor and disadvantaged in utter contempt
. The poor and disadvantaged are a cost, and in the free market universe costs are a constraint on profit and must be eliminated as much as possible. An example of their thinking is with reference to unemployment.
Free market economic
theory argues that market forces operate in such a way that they establish what
is known as ‘equilibrium’ in the economy. Equilibrium is balance, and it
happens because, according to our free market economic geniuses, in a free competitive market system, the market efficiently
establishes a harmonious relationship between the competing interests of
individuals engaged in freely trading with one another. One area in which this
will occur is in the labour market because, it is claimed, the free enterprise
economic system will automatically establish equilibrium in a situation where
there is no ‘voluntary’ unemployment. If there is any unemployment it will by
necessity be temporary because unemployment will produce an excess of labour
that will then result in a fall in the price of labour, ie. wages. As a result
of the concept of marginal utility, the fall in wage rates will then create
more employment, thus resolving the temporary problem of unemployment. However,
the result of this theoretical construct is that any long-term unemployment in
the economy must be, by definition voluntary, because the market has inbuilt
mechanisms that automatically cure any structural forms of unemployment.
Therefore, long-term unemployment is not real unemployment, it is voluntary and
therefore artificial, and the result of lazy people who simply do not want to
work; they volunteer to be unemployed, the skivers and shirkers, the benefit
scroungers of British government mythology. Thus, society cannot be responsible
for unemployment as there is no such thing as society, the market cannot be
responsible for unemployment as it will cure it by itself if left alone, so,
the responsibility for unemployment lies with individuals who simply don’t want
to work, and trades unions who interfere with wages and the free workings of
the labour market. As a result, both those groups will need to be subjected to
the disciplines of the market and must not be rewarded for their selfish and
anti-social behaviour. Now, I wonder who we are always listening to talking
like that? This is of course simply garbage. This is what you voted for in September if you voted No. I trust you are comforted. You have been warned.

Gordon Brown must be a proud man
When are the Westminster gang going to accept that the Scots are not completely stupid and can spot a lie when they see it? Labour and the Tories can tell us till they are blue in the face that they have fulfilled their 'vow' but it is blatantly obvious that they haven't even tried. Under the current proposals that have still to go before an unknown Westminster parliament after the 2015 general election, Scotland will still only have control over 30% of the taxes it is responsible for and a mere 15% of welfare. If this is home rule, or even vaguely close to federalism as promised by the three stooges, then I no longer understand the English language as these people are talking in a language I simply cannot recognise. I will also remind you that Britain operates by the principle of parliamentary sovereignty by which no parliament can bind its successors. Thus, we are not even guaranteed that the next parliament will honour the pledge to vote on the Smith proposals. Should the doomsday scenario materialise and UKIP form part of a coalition government, can you imagine them agreeing to anything that will enhance the powers of the Scottish parliament when they are committed to abolishing it? It should also be noted that whatever enhancement in tax revenues that Scotland can enjoy under the proposals should they actually be agreed, then that amount will be deducted from the block grant that Scotland receives from London meaning that we will not actually be getting any wealthier but will simply be treading water.
What is significant is that even the Tories were quite shocked by the conduct of the Labour party during the Smith Commission negotiations, as they were the main supporters of stripping Scotland's ability to control its own welfare spending and who blocked the devolution of the minimum wage. This is treachery of the worst kind because, as I have said before, it was always Labour who the Scots traditionally looked to to represent their case.
The Tories have been quite open that after the next election they are going to implement another £48 billion cuts whilst continuing to cut taxation. This is financial madness because tax is a government's only form of income. If they cut taxes they have to either borrow more, or make significant savage cuts to already existing budgets. What is going to happen is that there will be such a savage attack on welfare and health spending that both these departments will grind to a halt and Westminster will step in and say that the only remedy is to hand the lot over to the private sector to save it. That is their plan as I have been telling you for the past three years, the complete privatisation of the public sector. In order to sell it off they will first have to destroy it. I trust the people who voted No in September are proud of their achievements and that the grandmaster liar Brown enjoys his retirement. You have been warned and you read it here first.

It's the Economy Stupid!
I am returning to the theme of how the dominant economic model that the UK operates by is the basis of almost of our problems and is the greatest barrier to any solutions. It is the dominant free market
economic model that is the driving force behind the increasing Scottish demands for more and more independence from Westminster. It's no use unionists continually telling us that we lost the referendum and should just get over it. It was the manner in which we lost that has caused such an upsurge of indignation since 18th September. The lies, the deceit, the fabled 'vow' that is now exposed as a complete fabrication. Indeed what is particularly galling for Scots is the manner in which it is Labour who are the biggest culprits in this web of lies and mendacity because the Scots have traditionally always looked to Labour to best represent their interests. I believe that they will suffer a backleash from the Scottish electorate that they may not recover from, and it will be fully deserved.
A good example of Labour's inability to offer anything positive comes from that intellectual giant Gordon Brown, who exhorts us to stop obsessing about constitutional change and start focusing on improving people's lives. What this titan of politics completely fails to understand is that the constitutional change is vital in the battle to improve people's lives and is a necessary prerequisite for creating the conditions that will allow us to change people's lives. Where does he think the drivers for demands for constitutional change come from? You see, Brown and his ilk are a major part of the problem and that is why there can be no solutions or improvement under the guidance of the Westminster elite. Brown was the biggest culprit in the deregulation of the financial and economic system which lies at the heart of our problems today. He is completely wedded to the free market model and is completely incapable of providing meaningful solutions. His statements today are ample proof of that.
This is because Labour are inexorably locked into the dominant economic gangsterism. The British free market model is centralist and exclusive. It demands control and is designed to exclude the majority from meaningful prosperity whilst ensuring that a minority are allowed to loot the national treasury at will. We therefore have unimaginable wealth built on exploitation and poverty for the majority. How can anyone be proud of a country that awards fantastic bonuses for criminality and incompetence whilst supporting a system that requires people in work to utilise foodbanks? The free market economic model is both fraudulent and simply wrong. It is founded on a whole raft of incorrect assumptions about economic behaviour and human nature. Should anyone wish me to eleborate on any of these points I would be happy to. What is now certain is that the fabled 'vow' has been exposed as a lie and that what the Scots are being offered is simply a sop as the Westminster gangsters are both incapable of any form of honesty and of relinquishing power and control in any meaningful way. British politics is in a seriously parlous state as it has neither integrity or self-respect. I sincerely hope Jim Murphy wins the Scottish Labour leadership election as he will most certainly finish the destruction of this once mighty party that is now simply a parody. Labour will have to suffer a catastrophe before it can even begin to recover any form of dignity and credibility. It will have to be humbled. You have been warned

The disease of race and class that is destroying us
We are witnessing truly damning evidence in the United States against the arguments for arming the police, and we are also witnessing the inevitable results of scapegoating minorities, of demonising minorities and ethnic groups and of presenting people and groups as outsiders and of being 'others'.
Another dangerous trend that we see in America that is being increasingly adopted in this country is that, regardless of what the police do they are never blamed nor held accountable. The police in America have a licence to do whatever they want to a black person.
When America enshrined the three-fifths clause in its Constitution that effectively designated black people as only being three-fifths human, they established a cultural attitude towards black people that became so embedded in American culture that it has still to be eradicated today. The three-fifths clause was infamously reinforced in 1857 by the judgement of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case when Chief Justice Robert B Taney argued that the founders of the Constitution considered that black people were "beings of an inferior order and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect". He went on to argue that to consider blacks on an equal basis in law with white people "would give to persons of the negro race, ...the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, ...to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased ...the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went". This, the Supreme Court argued, was completely unacceptable.
It is such attitudes that produced the Holocaust; the fear of, and the demonization of other people we don't like and portraying them as sub-human. That is the creeping disease that is affecting the UK and is the product of poisonous propaganda and lies by newspapers such as the Sun, the Express and the Daily Mail in collusion with the Tories and UKIP. We are scapegoating the 'others' - Muslims, immigrants and Europeans in general. As I have been writing on this blog the other great target is Russia.
In this country we have had centuries of working people and 'the lower orders' being portrayed as being of lesser value and worth than the middle and upper classes. I would remind you that there are no class, race, gender, or ethnic differences in the birth process. We all enter the world in exactly the same manner. All differences are artificial and social, they are man-made, and I mean man-made in a literal sense as the world is still even today dominated by males. In this country and the US it is white male dominated.
Do not be fooled or seduced by the dominant ideology, it is the source of all our troubles. There are alternatives, and never be conned by the argument that our rulers are all educated people, they may be well-schooled but that is a quite different thing from being educated. You have been warned

Our role models, the banking and political classes, so much for the rule of law!
There can be no doubt that the biggest organised crime syndicate in the UK must be the Royal Bank of Scotland. The catalogue of their criminality seems never-ending in the media as they are exposed on a weekly basis for their criminal activities. Today we are regaled with their bare faced lies to Parliament over their colluding to bankrupt companies in order that they can strip their assets for their own profit. RBS have been repeatedly exposed for fraud, theft, illegal financial activities and lying and yet, no-one is ever held to account or punished. As I wrote in my last post, the biggest collection of active criminality in this country is in Westminster, but they are at least not as organised as RBS as they are made up of disparate groups in competition with each other. That is why I suspect that Westminster refuses to act on RBS as they actually do not see that they are doing anything wrong. The behaviour of our financial class and our political class are an utter disgrace and are evidence of the catastrophic leadership that we are suffering from.
A Westminster MP is a pathological liar. That is not a sarcastic remark, it is meant quite seriously. Westminster politicians are quite incapable of honesty and so when they see that type of behaviour from people like bankers then they view it as the norm. That is how the British ruling elite conduct their daily business. We are witnessing the British government telling us that we are facing the biggest threat from terrorism in our history and we are expected to take that at face value from a creature like Theresa May who refuses to furnish even a scintilla of proof for her exaggerated claims. This Home Secretary is one of the most appalling politicians imaginable. How this person could ever get elected is astonishing, yet she has risen to the third office of state in this sorry country and wields colossal but unaccountable power. I say unaccountable because she is introducing a further set of draconian legislation that erodes even more of our liberties and rights without a single piece of sustainable evidence that it is necessary. Now, it may well be necessary but we need to see the evidence. I remind you, the onus is always on the legislator to demonstrate that the legislation is both necessary and required. We must never simply take the word of such appalling human specimens.
I have said before and I repeat it, it is only a question of time before they criminalise simply being a Muslim. Also, one of their goals is to stop radical speakers from being heard. I wonder how long it will take them to get to me? This is what we voted for on September 18th. I hope it was worth it. you have been warned

Incompetence and stupidity are the default position of a Westminster MP
Not only is the Westminster parliament home to the largest collection of criminals in the country but it also boasts the biggest group of economic illiterates imaginable. As I've told you before, the task of the serious social scientist is to explain the unintended consequences of intentional social action. It is now cheaper for British students to study in the USA than it is in their own country. If the annual income of a family is below £38,000 then American universities are free for British undergraduates. In addition, they may get maintenance allowances. In order to save money the economic geniuses in Westminster hiked up tuition fees to £9000 and have produced a situation where a British student can attend Harvard, the top university in the world, eclipsing both Oxford and Cambridge, easier and cheaper than they can attend any course in higher education in the UK.
On top of that, Westminster's deliberate policy of suppressing wages means that 75% of British students will never pay their student debt, even after the 30 year repayment period. This is the findings of the Higher Education Commission. As a result, despite the intended aim of reducing the burden of higher education on the taxpayer, the government is now heavily subsidising British students whilst being forced to write off billions of pounds of debt. You really couldn't make it up. According to the Institute of Fiscal Studies, the average student debt is expected to be £44,015, higher even than in the USA, the home of free market neoliberal economics. This is incompetence on an Olympian scale. The government were well warned that this was the likely outcome of their hastily planned incompetence, but as with everything else they refused to listen. This applies to both major parties and to the Lib/Dems who ignored their own propaganda about tuition fees to agree to such a system.
On another front, the Church of England have described the government's bedroom tax as "unjust, ineffective and deeply unfair." Both student fees and this tax are examples of policies designed to punish the poorer sectors of our society. Student fees are not an issue for the rich and the bedroom tax is not applied to them either as it is only designed to hurt people on benefits. I have written before, and am quite serious, that the biggest recipients of welfare in the UK are the royal family, so why aren't they subject to the bedroom tax with all the spare capacity available in Buckingham Palace, Balmoral, Windsor, etc.? As of now, the dangers to the health service that I outlined yesterday, tuition fees and the bedroom tax are only applicable in the barbarian sectors of Britain outside of Scotland. If the Better Together idiots get their way that will change and we must do everything in our power to prevent that. If the Westminster incompetents and imbeciles are capable of such things whilst we are members of the EU, can you imagine what life will be like once they take us out of it? You have been warned.

Great Britain PLC the sale of the century
I have been writing since I started this blog about how the fundamental problem with our economic and social life is the persistent policies of deregulation that are at the heart of the Westminster neoliberal agenda. It was the absence of any form of meaningful regulation that caused the financial crisis in 2007 and today, seven years later Westminster has still made no meaningful moves to correct this. Just last week we witnessed another series of fines on banking malpractice that takes the global total of fines imposed on banks in the past six years to £200 billion. Yes that's billion. There can be no doubt left, even in the minds of the most rabid right-wing halfwit that the banking and financial community are the lowest form of life on the planet. However, they are no worse than the Conservatives who are down there at the bottom of the swamp along with them. That is why most conservatives are financiers and bankers.
It is beyond dispute that deregulation is a disaster, that it is a device to allow criminality and gangsterism to go unpunished and to transfer wealth from the poorest to the richest in our society. I have been writing this for many years and it has now been confirmed by official data that this has been the result of successive governmental policies dating back many years. The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. This is official government policy and it is the policy of all Westminster parties. Today Cameron has announced that he is going to attempt to speed up the ratification of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) trade deal. This is a signal that the solution to the crisis caused by deregulation is, according to our Conservative coalition government, even greater deregulation.
TTIP is designed to remove existing regulatory barriers to trade between the EU and the US. That in itself is not too radical, but included in this deal is the provision for foreign countries and firms to buy up large sectors of Britain's public service sector, and particularly its health and welfare sectors. Included in these contracts will be clauses that will guarantee that no future British government will be able to recover these services once they are sold off. I have repeatedly warned you that the Westminster parties are going to completely privatise the NHS, perhaps someone will now start to believe me.
This is deeply unconstitutional. It is an essential part of the concept of parliamentary sovereignty that no parliament can bind its successors. Thus, if this deal goes through, no future parliament will be able to reverse this policy and recover what was privatised. This is what you voted for on September 18th, and don't try to say you weren't warned. You voted for another financial crisis, the complete privatisation of the health and welfare sectors, the eventual privatisation of all public services, the transfer of the national wealth from the poor to the rich, the sale of all British assets to foreign companies, and the impotence of your parliament to do anything about it. I trust you feel very comfortably Better Together. You have been warned.
