So Foreign Workers are taking IT jobs form British people What next University Lectures Mind you now with white collar workers and possible academics being forced out of work by these unwanted Foreigners Things may get done to protect British people from poverty
This all about companies and their share holders making profits their country is called Business and their God Money
Local MP Gordon Henderson has raised in Parliament the concern of IT workers that some companies have abused the system of intra-company transfers to replace British workers with cheaper foreign labour.
Mr Henderson raised the issue following a complaint from a constituent who was made redundant from his IT job when his company transferred foreign workers to Britain, had their British IT team train them to do their jobs, then made the British workers redundant before transferring the foreign workers, and their jobs, overseas.
Mr Henderson highlighted his concerns by asking a question after a statement on migration control made this week by the Home Secretary, Theresa May, who announced a cap on immigration for non-EU citizens, but excluded intra-company transfers.
The exchange went as follows:-
Gordon Henderson (Sittingbourne and Sheppey) (Con): Does my right hon. Friend recognise that many British workers in the IT industry are very concerned about losing their jobs as a result of intra-company transfers? Can she reassure them that she will crack down on the abuse of the system that has been witnessed by some IT companies?
Mrs May: As I said in my statement and have said in response to a number of questions, we are tightening the rules relating to tier 2 entry to the United Kingdom, as well as those relating to intra-company transfers. We will ensure that those who come here really are the skilled and highly skilled workers who are needed. However, my hon. Friend's point echoes one made by a number of other Members about the need to ensure that businesses in the United Kingdom seek the skills that are available here.
Mr Henderson said:
“I was pleased that the Government has announced plans to reduce by 2015 immigration from non-EU countries to tens of thousands, rather than the hundreds of thousands it was under the previous government.
“However, I was disappointed that intra-company transfers were excluded from the immigration cap that Theresa May announced, which is why I asked my question.
“The abuse of the intra-company transfer system by some IT companies is a scandal that has been going on for some time and was brought to my notice by a constituent who was himself made redundant when he was replaced by a foreign worker. My constituent has been able to find another IT job since.
“Frankly I was waiting for the right time to raise the matter and Home Secretary’s statement was my opportunity. Having asked the question, I will continue to press the Government to crack down on companies who abuse the system and ensure that British businesses do employ qualified British workers when they are available.”

Flu Shot Could Hurt You
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FLU SHOT COULD HURT YOU
If you are not a Patient or Practice Member yet at the Canterbury Health and Spine Centre, someone has cared enough to share this vital truth with yo Below is an article I created from a collection of other articles on the Flu Vaccine that should be known to all. Therefore I need your help. We have someone in my practice that has a close friend from church who has gone bankrupt and gotten a divorce since the flu vaccine made their son autistic. 80 of the couples involved with an autistic child end in divorce.
Establishments and organisations around our town have put out flyers indicating that a flu vaccine is safe and good for you. We have to do all we can share the inside story, reveal the truth about the massive money making project that occurs every year with flu vaccines and inform people about the fac that are not readily available to them. Just look at the public shock to hear that the Swine Flu wasn't actually an epidemic after all. Yet how mar innocent people had the shot, in fear of getting the mystery virus. I need your help to inform your friends and family before it is too late. This messai will save lives.
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FLU SHOT
COULD HURT YOU
Before the festive season, there is what has come to be known as the "Flu season". Over the last few years, Britons of all ages have been told to run, ar not walk, to get their annual flu shot.
While there is no question that the flu is a substantial health risk, many, many questions have arisen in regards to the flu shot. Recently, study after study is coming out revealing serious concerns over the safety of these flu vaccinations, the lack of any long term safety studies, and whether or not these sho are even helpful at all.
In fact, while malls, supermarkets, drug stores, pharmacies, businesses, radio station campaigns, and even places catering to children are promoting f shots for P.R. or as a publicity stunt, fewer and fewer doctors are advocating them, and even less are getting the shots themselves and their familie Here is what you should know.
A gentleman who started care with us last week said he had already had his flu shot... and I felt an inner sickness and feeling of guilt as I wish I could ha) told him what I am about to tell you. Please share this with everyone you know.
Flu shots contain toxic agents
Flu shots can contain anything from aluminum, formaldehyde, microorganisms, thimerosal (mercury), ethylene glycol, and other toxic substances that a dangerous at any dose and deadly if at high doses.
In addition to these substances, the flu vaccine is prepared from the fluids of chicken embryos inoculated with the specific type (s) of influenza virus th supposedly protects against the strains believed to be the most likely to be prevalent during that particular flu season. Reports over the last few year however, have uncovered that the strains in the vaccine are typically not the strains present for that season. Not very encouraging considering the potential health dangers you are opening yourself and children to from these toxic chemicals.
The flu can be deadly. In fact, building and maintaining immunity to unwanted infection, flu and any other infectious disease is always a critical matter all seasons. Yet, the human body cannot build healthy immunity by being exposed to neurotoxic poisons like mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, ar DNA from animals.
Mercury is the second most toxic material on earth after radioactive plutonium. To make thimerosal, you start with elemental mercury and then ramp up 1,000 times when you convert it to ethyl mercury. Aluminum is then added to the vaccine which has a multiplying effect on the mercury. This caus the mercury to be 10,000 times more toxic than elemental mercury.
Formaldehyde is classified as a toxic, colorless, water-soluble gas having a suffocating odor known mostly as embalming fluid. It is used in vaccines as disinfectant and preservative.
There are no long-term safety studies that vaccine manufacturers can draw from to validate the effectiveness of the flu shot. In fact, a leading immun geneticist showed that if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots between 1970-1980 (the years studies) his/her chances of getting Alzheimel disease is ten times higher than if they had one, two, or no shots. The cause of this is thought to be the gradual build up of mercury and aluminum in the brain causing cognitive dysfunction (brain damage).
Author Tim O'Shea made some very important statements in his book regarding the flu shot and its inability to prevent the flu in any given season: ' vaccine supposedly contains some version of the causative agent, in a weakened form. With influenza, by the time the virus is isolated, cultured f manufacture, and distributed to the population, the virus that is causing the current incidence of influenza has usually changed to a form complete unaffected by the vaccine. Michael Decker, MD of Aventis, the flu vaccine manufacturer admits: "By the time you know what's the right strain, you car do anything about it."
A recent report points out that potential confusion between respiratory infections caused by influenza viruses and those caused by non-influenza virus can result in misdiagnosis and gross overestimation of the true impact of influenza on death and illness in a given influenza season. Therefore, the sca that has been created about the flu has been exaggerated to some degree.
The flu shot, once marketed to the elderly and those with weakened immunity only, is now being recommended for all. Looking at the research and use common sense regarding health, the only conclusion one can draw is that there simply was not enough money to be made by selling to this select market
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOUR KIDS?
Oct. 31, 2006 - An independent analysis by the internationally renowned Cochrane Collaboration of worldwide influenza vaccine studies, published in
So this is my advice: When someone recommends you get the Flu Shot, look at them directly in the eyes and ask them:
a. What are the contents of it? If they don't know, run! But before you do, tell them "You should know".
b. Did they have it? Did their spouse and children have it? If not, change your doctor. Often we get told that the people who don't get vaccinate( are the dangerous ones spreading disease, so why haven't they been vaccinated themselves and trying to convince us that we need it??
c. Where is the evidence to demonstrate that it is safe and effective? If not, they should know as a responsible health professional!
I can assure you that the shocking truth will be revealed to you.
Abraham Lincoln, after failing to get elected 8 times, could have quit many times, but he didn't quit. He became one of the greatest Presidents in the( history of the Planet. He said:
"The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty."
Now you know the truth, you have a call to duty. Those of you who are members at the Canterbury Health and Spine Centre already know that I am not maverick, but I cannot stand by and watch innocent people be consumed by lies, profiteering and getting hurt along the way... and I hope you can share this with your friends and families so they too can make an informed choice.
"There is a big gap between policies promoting annual influenza vaccinations for most children and adults and supporting scientific evidence," sails epidemiologist Tom Jefferson, Cochrane Vaccines Field, Rome, Italy, who coordinated the comprehensive analysis for the prestigious Cochran( Collaboration.
DOES IT WORK ON ANYONE?
The Cochrane Collaboration analysis also concluded that there is no real evidence that the use of inactivated influenza vaccine has any real effect or preventing influenza. This was backed up in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, which stated that the flu vaccine is effective as little as 30% of the( time.
IMPACT ON IMMUNITY
Additional reasoning for flu shot hazards and their ineffectiveness is that vaccines bypass the natural defensive capabilities of the liver, kidneys, colon lymphatic system, and the immune system and deliver toxic waste directly into the body. Your body does not know what to do with mercury, aluminum formaldehyde, chicken embryos, and microorganisms when they are dropped right into the blood stream. Guillain-Barre, autism, temporary Multiple Sclerosis-like illness, breathing problems, hoarseness, wheezing, hives, paleness, dizziness, weakness, rapid heartbeat, and death have all been reported a side effects from the flu shot. Not to mention that many people who receive the flu shot immediately get the flu.
ALTERNATIVE TO THE FLU SHOT
This short article is not designed to give you medical advice on whether or not to get a flu shot. I am not a medical doctor, but a qualified health professional who is interested in your family's future health and the wellness of our community in years to come. After consulting your doctor about th( flu shot and your risks, there are many very effective, natural ways to keep your immune system healthy and help boost it, if necessary, to keep you wee during flu season without needing to inject neurotoxin poisons and contaminants into your body.
Your immune system is the only thing that prevents you from being overcome by infection and a host of other chronic illnesses. Therefore, supporting and enhancing it - not manipulating it - is extremely important.
Helping the immune system means you do not just boost one or two components. There are 22 different instruments or components to the immune system including T-cells, B-cells, Natural Killer cells (NK cells), macrophages, lymphocytes, leukocytes, monocytes, interferon, gamma globulin, interleukin 1,2,3,4, and other white blood cells. All components must be orchestrated properly and simultaneously like an orchestra, in order to encourage optimum immunity.
By definition, you cannot build immunity and shield the immune system with vaccines and poisonous pharmaceutical drugs. You can only help immune( system function through a healthy lifestyle that supports immune function.
People are dying from the flu not because they did not get their annual flu shot, but because they are already sick and have compromised immune systems Therefore, the ultimate treatment for the flu, as Dr. Joseph Mercola puts it, is straightforward: "proactive prevention".
"Proactive prevention" entails: The bottom line is to lead a healthy lifestyle all year round and not just during the "Flu season." This includes:
* Eating right by obtaining adequate nutrients from your diet without over-toxifying yourself from your diet.
* Exercising: Although tough to acquire in today's sedentary world, some level of physical activity is necessary on a daily basis. * Getting adequate sleep: The average British citizen gets 365 hours too little sleep per year.
* Addressing stressors that affect your spine, nervous system, mind, and muscles.
If you do this, your immune system will be strong and functioning how it is naturally supposed to. Eating a junk food diet, leading a sedentary lifestyle, an( burdening yourself with little sleep and unresolved physical and emotional stress will only serve to bring your immune system down, where it will be o little protection.
Can you now see why people get the flu at Christmas or soon after? Increased stress, too much food, too much alcohol, too little exercise and too little sleep. Can you also see why the manufacturers are rubbing their hands together for you to abuse your body at this time of the year in December am January... and then you blame your ill-health on the cold weather and the flu!! It is time that we all take a serious look at ourselves and come to thi realization that our current health status is a result of our previous choices and actions, not our environment.
Our patients and practice members take a pro-active role in their life and health. Medical science may have some benefit, but nothing benefits you Ilk taking good care of yourself. If you would like to know more about how to get well and stay well, please call our friendly and caring team on 0122. 789977.
Health & Blessings. Remember who you are,

A Message from Johny Elmer
The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,
When 24 hours in a day is not enough;
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
And had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And start to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
It into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again
If the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand
And poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded
With an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table
And poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
Filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - God, family,
Children, health, friends, and favorite passions
Things that if everything else was lost
And only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --
The small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are
Important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time
To clean the house and fix the dripping tap.
'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand
And inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
Please share this with other "Golf Balls"

More Education Changes
So more changes to our education system at the age of 60 I can look back to my days at school 1955 to 1965. Yes I was only 15 years and 3 months when I left and I was ready to leave school now they want Young People to stay on till they are 18 an 18 year old is not a child he or she is an adult. Someone who can die for their country, the reason to keep them on is simple it stops the unemployment figures being too high.
Yet again the emphasis is going to be on academic prowess; the ability to pass exams, what this country needs is tradesman not another load of university graduates with useless degrees. Why don’t the Government encourage technical skills which can stand along side academic ability? At present a school is judged on its ability to get kids to pass academic exams why not judge them academic pass, plus those who obtain technical skills such as carpentry also judge them on how many kids they can get into full time employment and for Gods sake to keep youngsters on at school when they hate it that can only be a recipe for trouble.
One thing this new Liberal government (oops sorry coalition) wants is languages to be taught Why?
In my Judo and Sambo Career I have travelled to 30 different countries and I have met people from all over the World and the language they all speak or want to speak is English, if they couldn’t speak English most of the time they would speak German and with a German mother it’s a language I speak. The only people who refuse to speak English are the French, I can greet in many languages that is being polite but then we revert to English. Before the collapse of Communism the main language of Sambo a Russian Sport was Russian so when communism collapsed I thought I would learn Russian which I attempted to do but the next time I went to a World Championships all those Eastern block people who could not understand me the first time we met had learnt English and did not want me talking Russian. Learn another language as a fun thing there is a lot more important things to do at school.
When I was at School their was no choice in where you went if you live Westland’s side of Park Road that’s where you went the other side you went to St Johns, the academic kids went the Grammar School or Sheerness Tech. Westlands had a policy of no exams so I left school with no bits of paper but I left with a good education and was prepared for Adulthood the latter was mainly due to the fact that a lot of the teachers had been in the services some even in the second world war. I went on to become an agricultural apprentice passing several city & Guilds exams then moved on to College and passed my NCA. The point I am making is that you do not have to have a cotchell full of certificates to prove your worth what you need is a good education. Rather then keep the kids at school pay employers to have them as apprentices, no matter what people say the English Tradesman is the best in the World not the cheapest but the best.
Martin Clarke Sittingbourne
Yet again the emphasis is going to be on academic prowess; the ability to pass exams, what this country needs is tradesman not another load of university graduates with useless degrees. Why don’t the Government encourage technical skills which can stand along side academic ability? At present a school is judged on its ability to get kids to pass academic exams why not judge them academic pass, plus those who obtain technical skills such as carpentry also judge them on how many kids they can get into full time employment and for Gods sake to keep youngsters on at school when they hate it that can only be a recipe for trouble.
One thing this new Liberal government (oops sorry coalition) wants is languages to be taught Why?
In my Judo and Sambo Career I have travelled to 30 different countries and I have met people from all over the World and the language they all speak or want to speak is English, if they couldn’t speak English most of the time they would speak German and with a German mother it’s a language I speak. The only people who refuse to speak English are the French, I can greet in many languages that is being polite but then we revert to English. Before the collapse of Communism the main language of Sambo a Russian Sport was Russian so when communism collapsed I thought I would learn Russian which I attempted to do but the next time I went to a World Championships all those Eastern block people who could not understand me the first time we met had learnt English and did not want me talking Russian. Learn another language as a fun thing there is a lot more important things to do at school.

Eat Fruit and live longer
DR OZ on eating fruit
Wow. This is truly enlightening. I thought it was going to be funny. But there are some very interesting healthy facts
Included here.
EATING FRUIT
This is informative!
We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it up and popping it into our mouths. It's not that easy. It's important to know how and when to eat fruit.
What's the correct way to eat fruit? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL! FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread, then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it's prevented from doing so.
In the meantime, the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.
Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You've heard people complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will not happen if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat!
There's no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruit becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruit, you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health, Energy, Happiness and normal weight.
When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT the concentrated juice from the cans. Don't drink juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruit; you don't get the nutrients at all. You get only the taste. Cooking destroys all of the vitamins.
Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit-fast to cleanse your body. Eat fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you will be surprised when your friends say how radiant you look!
KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E and fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange!
AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
EATING 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C and Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes.
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
Can you believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this applies to you. It's nice to have a cold drink after a meal, however, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you've just consumed, which slows digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. Best to drink nothing… let the food and your stomach do it’s work
A serious note about heart attacks.
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they're asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Be careful, and be aware. The more we know, the better our chance to survive.
A cardiologist said if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
It can even be your life!

Housing Benefit
Dear Editor
I do not know where your last weeks anonymous contributor get his information from he maintains that Landlords who have a Buy to Rent Mortgages will no longer be able to pay their mortgage because the government have recalculated the interest payments given to those who claim unemployment or sickness benefit. Most people’s interest rates are linked to the Bank rate so interest is very low and will fluctuate; my interest rate has nothing to do with Swale Borough Council. Although I am sorry for your illness I must ask the question why should the Council Tax payer help buy your house? Surely you should have made provision for the fact that you could get unemployed or ill? For a short time it makes sense for the Council to help with your interest because it may be cheaper then paying your rent on a house but may be the time has come for you to sell up and rent a flat, just because you have been a Tax Payer doesn’t mean you are entitled to have your house bought for you. Let’s be quite honest all this hype about Housing Benefit and the rent prices is nonsense for us in Swale, I rent out flats from £380 to £500 for one bedroom flats and I have one unemployed tenant who gets all his rent paid for. Remember they government have said a maximum of £250 per week for a flat and £400 per week for a house now tell me who pays that sort of money in Swale?
Yet after condemning your writer I can understand his anger and frustration when he sees Billons of Pounds going to pay Ireland’s debt and prop the EURO a currency which we are not even involved with and see EU MP’s getting a £3000 a year rise and the President will get a £12000 a year rise Your writer interest rates are small beer as per usual the Politicians will tell us to tighten our belts but they open their own as they get fatter especially those in the EU

Travellers will not get special treatment
Yet again Godon has his finger on the pulse but I expect that there will be some Lefty liberals who think they should be able to biuld and parl where they like
Date: 17th November 2010
Release: Immediate
Subject: Prime Minister David Cameron today put his weight behind local MP Gordon Henderson
Prime Minister David Cameron today put his weight behind local MP Gordon Henderson’s campaign to change planning laws to ensure that they no longer give Travellers special treatment.
Mr Henderson claims that the current rules are being abused by Travellers who buy land on which development would not usually be allowed, move onto the site before local authorities know what is happening, put down hard-standings and install static and mobile homes on the site in the knowledge that eventually they will be granted retrospective planning permission to stay.
Mr Henderson pointed to the recent decision by Swale Borough Council to grant planning permission for travellers to remain on a site in Oak Lane, Upchurch as evidence that the strategy succeeds. He used the opportunity of Prime Minister’s Questions today to ask David Cameron if he would scrap Planning Circular 01/06 which he believes is at the root of the present problem because it explicitly gives Gypsies and Travellers preferential treatment when submitting planning applications for development on sensitive sites.
The exchange went as follows:-
Gordon Henderson (Sittingbourne and Sheppey) (Con): Will my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister take this opportunity to assure my constituents in Sittingbourne and Sheppey that planning circular 01/06 will be scrapped in the near future, and that Travelling communities will then be treated in the same way as settled communities with regard to planning law?
The Prime Minister: I am not fully up to date with that particular planning circular, but I reassure my hon. Friend that, as I have said here before, Traveller communities should be treated in a similar way to other communities, in that they cannot have planning permission retrospectively granted when they have not obeyed the rules. That is not right. Everyone should obey the law.
Mr Henderson said: “Settled people across my constituency are fed up to the back teeth with a planning system that explicitly gives one set of rules for travellers and another set of rules for everybody else. The root of the problem is Circular 01/06 and I was told way back in the summer that the Coalition Government was going to scrap it, but nothing much has happened since.
“The issue came to a head again recently when the unauthorised site in Oak Lane was granted planning permission. I am very concerned about that decision because I think it extends a very dangerous invitation for other people to try exactly the same trick of turning cheap agricultural land into expensive development land.
“I was lucky enough today to catch the eye of the Speaker during Prime Minister’s Questions and decided to ask a question about Circular 01/06. I was not surprised that David Cameron was not familiar with the name, but his answer certainly showed that he was well aware of its affects and I was delighted with his backing for my view that Travellers should not be able to obtain retrospective planning permission.
“I hope that planning officers on Swale Borough Council will consider the PM’s words very carefully and not grant retrospective permission to any of the other unauthorised sites we have in Sittingbourne and Sheppey.”

Dhimmitude -- What does it mean?
Recieved this from the USA
Healthcare exemption
Dhimmitude -- What does it mean? Obama used it in the health care bill.
Now isn't this interesting? It was used in the health care law. We now learn that not only is the top government officials the only one exempt from Obamacare, but also his friends.
Every day there's another revelation of what Obama and his fellow Democrats are doing to our country.
Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now. Type it into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting. It's on page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists. It is a REAL word. Amish and others are excluded, including Muslims. I think I could become Amish a whole lot easier than Muslim.
Word of the Day: Dhimmitude
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.
ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States. Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.
How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. Period.. This is Dhimmitude.
Dhimmitude serves two purposes: It enriches the Muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to Islam. In this case, the incentive to convert to Islam will be taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y, and Z types who have no moral anchor. If you don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver. "Sure, I'll be a Muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, bro?"
I recommend sending this post to your contacts. This is desperately important and people need to know about it -- quickly! Why are they trying to hide these things from us and not explaining it or letting our representative read it and understand it before agreeing to it.
To check it out on Snopes click here: Health Insurance Exemptions
Dhimmitude: History: Dhimmitude
Dhimmitude in History
Dhimmitude can only be understood in the context of jihad, because it originates from this ideology. Infidels who submit without fighting to the Islamic armies, are granted a pledge of security. They are protected from the jihad laws against infidels which command killing, slavery, ransom or deportation for the enemies. Peace and security for non-Muslims are recognised only after their submission. Protection status is provided through the Islamization of conquered lands.
Rules of dhimmitude
The vanquished non-Muslims peoples are granted security for their life and possessions, as well as a relative self-autonomous administration and limited religious rights according to the modalities of the conquest. These rights are subject to two conditions: the payment of a poll tax (the jizya) and submission to the provisions of Islamic law.
The concept of toleration is linked to a number of discriminatory obligations in the economic, religious and social fields, imposed by the shari'a on the dhimmis. The transgression by the dhimmis of some of these obligations, abolished their protection, and threaten them with death or slavery. Dhimmis suffered many legal disabilities intended to reduce them to a condition of humiliation, segregation and discrimination. These rules, established from the eight to nine centuries by the founders of the four schools of Islamic law, set the pattern of the Muslim's community's social behavior toward dhimmis.
Jews and Christians are referred to as the People of the Book, they share the same legal status, while other religious group - like the Zoroastrians for instance - were more despised and treated harsher.
Dhimmitude covers more than a millennium of Christian and Jewish history, as well as of other groups. It is a comprehensive civilization encompassing customs, legislation, social behavior. Numerous laws were enacted over the centuries by the Muslim authorities, to implement its principles. It was abolished during the 19th -20th centuries under European pressure and colonization of Arab countries.
Today the resurgence of traditional Islam revitalizes the spirit of jihad against the Dar al-harb and of dhimmitude for the non-Muslim minorities.
The Horror Continues Do you really care, or are you going to let our government treat us, CITIZENS, like this. OPEN YOUR EYES and speak up

Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. Period.. This is Dhimmitude.
Dhimmitude serves two purposes: It enriches the Muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to Islam. In this case, the incentive to convert to Islam will be taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y, and Z types who have no moral anchor. If you don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver. "Sure, I'll be a Muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, bro?"
I recommend sending this post to your contacts. This is desperately important and people need to know about it -- quickly! Why are they trying to hide these things from us and not explaining it or letting our representative read it and understand it before agreeing to it.

Dhimmitude: History: Dhimmitude
Dhimmitude in History
Dhimmitude can only be understood in the context of jihad, because it originates from this ideology. Infidels who submit without fighting to the Islamic armies, are granted a pledge of security. They are protected from the jihad laws against infidels which command killing, slavery, ransom or deportation for the enemies. Peace and security for non-Muslims are recognised only after their submission. Protection status is provided through the Islamization of conquered lands.
Rules of dhimmitude
The vanquished non-Muslims peoples are granted security for their life and possessions, as well as a relative self-autonomous administration and limited religious rights according to the modalities of the conquest. These rights are subject to two conditions: the payment of a poll tax (the jizya) and submission to the provisions of Islamic law.
The concept of toleration is linked to a number of discriminatory obligations in the economic, religious and social fields, imposed by the shari'a on the dhimmis. The transgression by the dhimmis of some of these obligations, abolished their protection, and threaten them with death or slavery. Dhimmis suffered many legal disabilities intended to reduce them to a condition of humiliation, segregation and discrimination. These rules, established from the eight to nine centuries by the founders of the four schools of Islamic law, set the pattern of the Muslim's community's social behavior toward dhimmis.
Jews and Christians are referred to as the People of the Book, they share the same legal status, while other religious group - like the Zoroastrians for instance - were more despised and treated harsher.
Dhimmitude covers more than a millennium of Christian and Jewish history, as well as of other groups. It is a comprehensive civilization encompassing customs, legislation, social behavior. Numerous laws were enacted over the centuries by the Muslim authorities, to implement its principles. It was abolished during the 19th -20th centuries under European pressure and colonization of Arab countries.
Today the resurgence of traditional Islam revitalizes the spirit of jihad against the Dar al-harb and of dhimmitude for the non-Muslim minorities.
The Horror Continues Do you really care, or are you going to let our government treat us, CITIZENS, like this. OPEN YOUR EYES and speak up
Two scams for Christmas be warned
CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT
I bought a bunch of stuff, over £150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of £40. I told her I didn't request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the £40 because she couldn't delete it. I told Her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it.. I said NO! Taking the £40 would be a cash advance against my Credit card & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything! The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of £20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the Electronic Pad must be defective.
Postal Scam:
Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:
A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a Premium rate number).
DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize.
If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £315 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.
Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER offered me the £40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?
Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford , Sainsburys last week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for £20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!
My co-worker called Sainsburys who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in the queue.
Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!
This is NOT limited to Sainsburys; they are one of the largest retailers so they have the most incidents.
I am adding to this. My husband and I were in Sainsburys and paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer he just happen to notice there was a £20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she canceled it. We really didn't think anything of it until we read this email.
I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????
To make matters worse ...THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!
BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT........CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!!!
THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW I'LL START!
PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS, KIDS, LOVED ONES.

Polish plumbers return: Number of East Europe migrant workers hits new high | Mail Online
We have several Million unemployed so why are these people allowed back in the Country?
1) Because they are cheap labour
2) Employers are greedy and think of profit only and do not think of their county man's welfare
3) This country no longer considers tradesman of any worth and do not give any training we are being brainwashed in believing university is the only way forward

And some say I am extreme
PLEAS READ BEFORE OPENNING
These people have infiltrated the British government hereby passing laws to protect their people.
The American government has also been infiltrated “ “ “ “ “ “ “
Now read on and check the pictures of our people in power or their 2nd in charge.
this is serious stuff - Please read to the end BEFORE opening the attachment....
the following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez
and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15, 2008.
It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe - and
eventually to the rest of the world.
I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly realised a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz ...
We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture,
a thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they were a great
and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as
the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of
the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance;
religious extremism and lack of tolerance; crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support
their families with pride.
They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth
and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of us,
their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred; creative skills for destructive thoughts,
intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace for the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children,
for those who pursue death. Human life has no value to these people. They love to kill. It is their pleasure because,
thay say, killing is their route to paradise. They even kill other Muslims. Even their own families - as you'll see later.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe .

by a Major that was known as...
a: You guessed it - A Muslim male extremist between the age of 17 and 40.
But can you believe it? To ensure that Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing them, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be offended!
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Nancy Pelosi's, Gloria Alders and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves - if they have any such sense.
We cannot allow the socialist transformation being brought on by the current administration to continue. Look at what it has done to Spain ; to Europe . We all must stand together before it's too late and everything is lost.

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow
themselves up and cause maximum deaths of non-Muslims. The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes
at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has
destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the
Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbours, even
if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all:
'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel ." Benjamin Netanyahu
I thought this was going to be a joke with a punch line, but it is no joke!!
PLEASE BE WARNED. THIS MADE
ME FEEL SICK.
I have not included the Film Clip and I did not watch it myself (Martin Clarke)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not for kids or the squeamish.
I send this to all of you with a heavy heart and almost sick to my stomach.
for our leadership to grovel to the people who support this type of "justice"
makes me even sicker. For the people of this country to be so apathetic and
complacent with the encroachment of this sickening system of law is even
more sickening.
The young girl in this video was sentenced to death by an ISLAMIC Court
because she did not want to marry an old man the family arranged for her!
This is NOT Al Qaeda or the Taliban, but MUSLIMS following SHARIA LAW!
These are the same people who want to build a mosque across from Ground Zero,
where they killed 3,000 innocents on 9/11.
And New York is agreeing to this? Do we want this type of barbaric religion?
These people have infiltrated the British government hereby passing laws to protect their people.
The American government has also been infiltrated “ “ “ “ “ “ “

But can you believe it? To ensure that Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing them, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be offended!
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Nancy Pelosi's, Gloria Alders and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves - if they have any such sense.
We cannot allow the socialist transformation being brought on by the current administration to continue. Look at what it has done to Spain ; to Europe . We all must stand together before it's too late and everything is lost.

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow
themselves up and cause maximum deaths of non-Muslims. The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes
at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has
destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the
Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbours, even
if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all:
'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel ." Benjamin Netanyahu
I thought this was going to be a joke with a punch line, but it is no joke!!
PLEASE BE WARNED. THIS MADE
ME FEEL SICK.
I have not included the Film Clip and I did not watch it myself (Martin Clarke)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not for kids or the squeamish.
I send this to all of you with a heavy heart and almost sick to my stomach.
for our leadership to grovel to the people who support this type of "justice"
makes me even sicker. For the people of this country to be so apathetic and
complacent with the encroachment of this sickening system of law is even
more sickening.
The young girl in this video was sentenced to death by an ISLAMIC Court
because she did not want to marry an old man the family arranged for her!
This is NOT Al Qaeda or the Taliban, but MUSLIMS following SHARIA LAW!
These are the same people who want to build a mosque across from Ground Zero,
where they killed 3,000 innocents on 9/11.
And New York is agreeing to this? Do we want this type of barbaric religion?

Rebel MP supports the people
Date: 15th November 2010
Release: Immediate
Subject: MP defies whip to stand up for local Equitable Life pensioners.
Local MP Gordon Henderson has again defied Government whips and voted for an amendment to the Equitable Life (Payments) Bill which called for any payments authorised by the Treasury to with-profits annuitants to be made without regard to the date on which such policies were taken out.
The amendment was made because the Government has decided that compensation should be paid only to those people who took out policies after September 1992, rather than include with-profit annuitants who took out policies before 1992 and yet were also subject to the regulatory failure surrounding Equitable Life pensions which is at the heart of the scandal.
The Government opposed the amendment on the grounds firstly that it believes the 1st Sept 1992 cut off point is a reasonable place in which to start, because policy holders would not have been aware of the regulatory failures until that date and secondly because it claims that with-profits annuitants prior to 1992 received more from Equitable Life than they would have done had there been no maladministration.
Mr Henderson explained why he defied a three-line whip to vote for the amendment:
“Both the justifications put forward for objecting to the amendment are ingenuous; the former because, whether or not they knew about it, pre-1993 with-profits annuitants were subject to the same maladministration as those after that date who will be receiving compensation, and the latter because if the Government believes that pre-1993 policy holders would not be able to make successful compensation claims, they why won’t they include them in the scheme?
“Unfortunately, when a vote was taken on the amendment the Government was able to win easily by 301 votes to 76. I was one of half a dozen Conservative members to defy the whips and support the amendment and I did so because before the General Election I, like many of my Conservative colleagues, signed a pledge to uphold in full the recommendations of the Parliamentary Ombudsman.
“That pledge was made to all Equitable Life policy holders who were affected by regulatory failure, not just those who found out about in when the scandal was publicised in 1992.
“When it came to the substantive motion, originally I was not entirely happy with the amount the Government has set aside for compensation which is £1.5 billion. One of Ombudsman’s recommendations was that policy holders should be compensated using their “relative loss” as a starting point. Everybody agrees that the total “relative loss” was between £3-£4.2 billion and policy holders were expecting to receive at least the lower of those two figures.
“However, the Ombudsman did qualify her recommendations by saying that any eventual payment should take account of the public purse. With this in mind I think it would have been appropriate for the Government to have reduced the figure of £3 billion by 25%, in line with the cuts it is making in Government departments in order to tackle the huge deficit we inherited from the previous Labour administration. That would have given a total of £2.25 billion.
“In the event I was delighted that the Government announced during the debate that any payments made under the scheme would be tax free. That is at least some good news for Equitable Life policy holders because it effectively pushes up the total net compensation package close to £2 billion.
“Despite my reservations about some aspects of the scheme, the Coalition Government must be commended for tackling this issue with such speed.
“The previous administration continually ducked the difficult decisions that had to be taken, which resulted in thousands of policy holders dying before a penny of compensation was awarded.
“Perhaps now those still left alive will get some compensation for the losses they suffered because of Government maladministration.”
....ends....

Local MP says yes to rent cuts
The local Labour Party housing spokesman, Cllr Mike Hayward, criticised me in this week’s Gazette for supporting the Coalition Government’s proposals to radically reform housing benefit.
I make no apology for wanting to reform the benefit system “so that we do not subsidise people to live in the private sector on rents that ordinary working families could not afford”.
I am surprised that Cllr Hayward and his colleagues do not support that policy because only six months ago at the General Election those are exactly the words included in the Labour Party manifesto!
The truth is that the current outrage from Labour politicians is just so much hypocrisy. The Labour Party left the country with a 43 billion pound deficit that has resulted in us having to pay £120 million every single day in interest charges on the Labour debt.
Part of the reason for that deficit is the scandalous way in which the previous Government allowed the housing benefit bill to rocket. Now I have no problem with paying benefits to those who need them, but it is simply wrong that some people are able to claim over £100,000 a year to live in large houses in the most expensive parts of London. Such extravagance is unacceptable when hard working individuals and families are struggling to find affordable private rents or to pay their mortgages.
The Government is proposing to place a cap on housing benefits of £250 per week for a one bedroom property and £400 per week for a 4 bedroom property. I appreciate that those caps will from next year be less in areas outside London, but then property prices are much lower outside London. Just turn to the To Let pages in the Gazette and check out the sort of house you can rent for £1600 per month!
The Labour Party compounds its hypocrisy by itself proposing a cap on housing benefits whilst at the same time refusing to tell us at what level that cap would be set!
In addition to hypocrisy, a charge of scare mongering can be levelled at the Labour Party also. Up and down the country they are concocting stories about thousands of vulnerable people being hit by the reform of housing benefits. Cllr Hayward points out that Swale has 8000 social houses, insinuating that the tenants of those houses will be worse off under the changes. He knows, or should know, that the proposed benefit changes do NOT apply to social housing, only homes in the private sector.
Cllr Hayward also points out that there are 4000 households on Swale Borough Council’s housing waiting list and claims that these people will be displaced from the housing register by people migrating to our area from London.
Perhaps Cllr Hayward would like to explain why he thinks that the council of which he is a member should give people from London preference over local people who are already on the housing list.
Finally, Cllr Hayward says that we need an MP who stands up for the area rather than toeing the party line. I think my record over the past six months proves that is exactly what I do!

Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation
Gary Hubbell
Aspen Times Weekly February 2010
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America 's future.
Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America 's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.
That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America. Here's why.
Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.
Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up.. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.
Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.
We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.
But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.
A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy..
Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220
"FANTASTIC" years--- the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

Mr Speaker, whenever I receive documents originating from Brussels I feel as if we are being manipulated by some clever Count Dracula who hypnotises us with reassuring words, whilst at the same time is eyeing up our jugular.
The problem is that the more we struggle to escape the grip of this grotesque European vampire, the tighter we fall within its grasp as it slowly sucks the very blood from our democracy.
These two papers on economic policy co-ordination are typical of the sly and insidious way in which Britain is being entrapped by the EU.
We are being asked to agree to these communications, but just look at the size of them. Can any member, hand on heart, say that they have read every word of these documents?
I suspect that the EU thinks that if they flood us with enough words, we will just give up and accept all their proposals without protest.
No doubt ministers will assure us that the proposals are nothing to worry about and that they only relate to Eurozone countries.
If that is the case, Mr Speaker, let’s tell the EU that because we are outside the Eurozone, and have no intention of ever joining the Eurozone, we want nothing to do with their proposal for economic policy co-ordination. We can then adjourn the debate and all go home early.
But of course that isn’t going to happen, not least because these proposals ARE something to worry about and they DO have an impact on Britain.
I am sure that members can dip into these documents and find any number of examples of the way in which if we are not careful, the EU will try to take control of our economy by the back door, let me give just one example...
The first Communication suggests that the Commission should play a greater role in macroeconomic surveillance in future, in order to prevent Member States from building up imbalances that could pose a threat to their competitiveness or macroeconomic stability.
The second Communication expands on that suggestion by proposing a scoreboard of competitiveness indicators, including productivity, labour costs, employment, productivity, current accounts, foreign assets and real exchange rates... pretty well the whole gamut of a country’s economic policy.
The second Communication further proposes that the scoreboard should be used to assess Member State’s performance against all these indicators, in order to develop tailored recommendations for individual Member States.
It goes on to say that if necessary the Commission could issue a warning directly to a Member State under the new provisions in Article 136 TFEU, and recommends – there’s that word again – that in addition to preventative monitoring systems, there should also be an enforcement mechanism, which they call euphemistically: an “excessive imbalances procedure”.
But it gets worse, because the communication makes clear that the monitoring, which would determine the so called recommendations, and eventually enforcement, “would go into more detail for eurozone Member States”. Let me read that bit again... “would go into more detail for eurozone Member States”.
What that phrase means, of course, is that non eurozone countries would be monitored, but to a lesser degree.
So there you have it, if we agree these communications, Britain’s economy would be monitored and if the EU wasn’t happy with our performance it could “recommend” improvements.
As we all know, today’s EU recommendation often becomes tomorrow’s EU legal obligation.
I am sure that I will be accused of exaggerating the threat to our economic independence and that ministers will assure us that they will not let the EU interfere in our budgeting process.
However, over the past three decades the British public have been let down by too many ministers, in too many governments, to have much faith that our present frontbench team will be able to stand up to the steady drift towards European Federalism, particularly when that is the settled policy of at least one partner in the Coalition.
Mr Speaker, I am sorry to be such a cynic, but unfortunately my cynicism has been forged by a history of sacrificing Britain’s independence on the altar of European unification.
Sadly, it is for that reason that I will be voting for this amendment and if it is defeated will be forced, with great regret and a heavy heart, to vote against the Government on this issue.

An answer to Immigration Figures
As promised I have found out more on immigration figures as an answer to Richard Bailey
Dear Mr Clarke,
Thank you for your mail.
As most illegal immigrants work in low paid jobs then legalising them would cost a lot of money because they would be entitled to social housing, health and pensions in old age yet would contribute less in tax during their working life. We estimate that the Lifetime costs of each working illegal immigrant once regularised are £220,000 for a single person, £560,000 for a sole earner family with two children and £170,000 for a two earner two child family. For an unemployed immigrant the estimated Lifetime Costs are £660,000 for a single person and £1,030,000 for a two child family.
Our website contains a number of briefing papers on illegal migrants and an amnesty http://www.migrationwatchuk.org/briefingPapers
People who employ illegal migrants take advantage of their status by often paying below the minimum wage and not respecting other aspects of employment law such as health and safety and holiday entitlement, which means they have a cheaper source of labour than if they employed a British citizen. Unemployment in London is around 10% so there are plenty of people who could be working in jobs. Rather than keeping them on benefits wouldn't it be better if employers had to offer a decent wage for jobs such as cleaners.
Migrationwatch UK is an independent think tank. Our purpose is to monitor developments, conduct research, and provide the public with full and accurate facts placed in their proper context. We also make recommendations for policy. Our focus in on numbers.
Unlike the huge pro-immigration lobby, primarily funded by the British taxpayer, we receive no funds from the government, nor from the lottery, and have no intention of seeking them. We intend to remain entirely independent but this means that we rely on public donations to support our work. We are the only rational body making an effective case against the massive levels of UK immigration. Our administrative costs are minimal and we do not use any part of donations to pay fund raisers. Every penny goes directly to the cause.
If you feel that this is an important issue and would like to help you can send us a donation in the following ways:
You could call 01869 337007 and donate by credit card or send a cheque to MWUK, PO Box 765, Guildford, GU2 4XN. If you prefer internet banking our account number is 01442587, sort code 30-90-42. A standing order form can be found at:

A Joke For Richard Bailey
CATHOLIC COFFEE
Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.
The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."
The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic man then says, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Holiness'."
Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, "Well....?"
She proudly replies, "I have a daughter,
slim,
tall,
38D breast,
24" waist,
34" hips.
When she walks into a room people say,
"Oh My God."

Debate with Richard baily
As a follow up to my last article on Pensioners I have had a major debate with Dr Richard Bailey on Facebook I have copied it below
Richard Bailey Oh dear!

Monday at 23:10 · LikeUnlikeRichard Bailey Words fail me!
Monday at 23:17 · LikeUnlikeMartin Clarke Or are frightened to voice your true feelings?
23 hours ago · LikeUnlikeRichard Bailey I suppose it is PC nonsense to point out that the figures you reproduce are false (they refer to two entirely different groups), and the conclusion you draw is morally objectionable.
Apart from that, I have no problem!
22 hours ago · LikeUnlikeMartin Clarke If that is the case give us all the correct figures and condem the circular. Is it morally wrong to put the interest of British Tax paying Pensioners before people who enter this country illegally and are therefore criminals?
22 hours ago · LikeUnlikeRichard Bailey As soon as you mix together genuine refugees with illegal immigrants, you are being either confused or dishonest, Martin.
My problem with the figures is that they are wrong precisely because they conflate two separate groups.
I agree that pe...nsioners deserve a lot more.
I agree that illegal immigrants should be detained and if necessary sent back.
But I also believe that it is simply incorrect to imply (as you do) that refugees are the same group as illegal immigrants.
And it is morally wrong to use the situation of refugees to promote some unconnected social and / or racial agenda.

21 hours ago via · LikeUnlikeMartin Clarke Why is it being dishonest if the two groups get the same ammount? or if they don't supply the evidence all well and good saying the figures are wrong but you have to prove it Plus in my opiniom a refugee is an illegal immigrant and should b...e treated as such until our Government decide their status
Of course it racial If you are British you are in the country legally had you not noticed its Johny Foreigner who are illegal immigrants. What social agenda is their?

19 hours ago · LikeUnlikeRichard Bailey You aren't following my point. Martin. The two groups are different: one is legal, and pays taxes; the others aren't and don't.
There is no point talking about 'figures' unless we are clear what is being discussed.
But if you do want some f...igures, see Sue Skipper's recent post:
Immigration: The facts we are never told
* There are between 310,000 and 570,000 illegal immigrants in the UK, according to Home Office estimates
* If allowed to live legally, they would pay more than £1bn in tax each year
* Deporting them would cost £4.7bn and leave acute shortages of cleaners, care workers and hotel staff cIf allowed to stay, the net benefit of nearly £6bn would pay for 300 new schools, 12 district hospitals or 200,000 new nurses
* Nearly 50% of foreign-born immigrants leave Britain within five years
* Migrants fill 90% of low-paid jobs in London and account for 29% of the capital's workforce. London is the UK's fastest-growing region
* Legal migrants comprise 8.7% of the population, but contribute 10.2% of all taxes. Each immigrant pays an average of £7,203 in tax, compared with £6,861 for non-migrant workers
* There were 25,715 people claiming asylum last year. If allowed to work, they would generate £123m for the Treasury

If all these immigrants left our own indiginous population would get work at reasonable rates instead of having 3 million unemployed who claim unemployment benefit and do not pay taxes all your im...migrant labour is doing is paying for British to be on the dole which no doubt some enjoy
There would no longer be bed shortage and school class sizes would go down and we would not need 300 new hospitals

That is not the case now we have millions of British Subjects unemployed which have created a non working under class and please do not quote how much better foreign workers are and how hard they work most under cut our workforce a great deal work for 6 months and return home as you said so do not pay tax and then return 6 months later. Some have created gheto's in our inner cities not speaking our lanquage or understanding iour history or culture. England is having to biuld more houses and hospitals, schools to accomadate this influx and please do not tell me they are paying their way because not all of them work, plus a big number work in the balck economy.
You want get out more and meet real people who are struggling to bring up families some from your days in Karate then maybe you will understand what is happening
Richard Bailey Martin, it's a shame you're returning to the ploy of explaining away people who disagree with you as being due to them not talking to enough / the right type of people.

Local MP on Reform Committee
Date: 8th November 2010
Release: Immediate
Subject: MP appointed on Regulatory Reform Select Committee
Local MP, Gordon Henderson has been appointed to an important Parliamentary committee which scrutinises regulatory proposals before they are approved by the Government.
The Regulatory Policy Committee provides independent scrutiny of legislation and advises ministers on whether there is sufficient evidence and analysis to support a new regulation, before they decide in favour of moving ahead with it or not.
Mr Henderson said,
“The Regulatory Policy Committee is an important part of the Coalition Government’s commitment to a “one-in, one-out” approach to new regulations.
“Ministers recognise the way in which red-tape is slowly strangling businesses and they are determined to control and reduce the burden of regulation. The “one-in, one-out” system requires any new regulatory cost to be compensated for by cuts in the costs of old regulations.
“The Regulatory Policy Committee will examine the likely impact that any new regulation is likely to have on businesses and advise ministers whether the costs outweigh the benefits.
“I have set as one of my priorities during the next five years to forge strong links with my local business community and I have visited a large number of companies in the last few months to find out what problems they face. The recurring complaint I receive is about the amount of red-tape imposed on them.
“Being on this committee will give me a real input into the Government’s battle to reduce the costs imposed on our local business by government regulations.”

Coalition is Rubbish
I was a Conservative and was quite excited when we had this Coalition Government but they seem be turning native i.e. getting used there position of power. They have become as arrogant as all previous Government ministers and MP’s in that they believe they know what is best and treat the Electorate like stupid little children totally ignoring the will of the people.
There are two things more then anything else that affects the Democratic will of the people of Great Britain
1) The European Court of Human Rights, this loathsome Act continually over turns our laws and in most cases to the determent of the British People
2) The European Union most of our laws are now made by the EU once again to the detriment of the British People. With 80% of the population of GB wanting a Referendum on the EU and 70% of those wishing to leave why doesn’t our government do something? Simple when the British Politics they join the EU gravy train what did Cameron promise A cut in the EU budget but instead he got us an increase.
We need what Switzerland does in that on any major issue there is a referendum.
Not all are like the ones have mention local MEP Daniel Hannan is outspoken critic of the EU and local MP Gordon Henderson is not frightened to represent the wishes of his constituents just read below his stand against Prisoners getting the vote.

Local MP Gordon Henderson has warned the Government he will vote against any legislation that allows those convicted of serious crimes, such as murderers, rapists and paedophiles, to vote in elections.
Mr Henderson’s warning came after the Government announced that it was looking at ways to implement the ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that said that Britain is breaking the law by refusing to give prisoners the vote.
Mr Henderson said:
“I am most unhappy that we are being dictated to by a foreign court. Britain is a sovereign nation and the Westminster Parliament should decide how we treat those who break our laws.
“I think that my constituents will be as appalled as I am if serious criminals such as murders, rapists and paedophiles are allowed to vote.
“Prison has two functions, the first is to punish prisoners and the second is to try to rehabilitate them. Part of the punishment regime is to deprive inmates of their liberty and their right to take part in the democratic process.
“If you let prisoners vote then the level of their punishment will be reduced and that simply cannot be right, which is why I warned the Government that when legislation is placed before the House I will vote against it, whether or not we are given a free vote.
“However, I do believe that it is probably right for some prisoners to have a vote in certain circumstances. For instance, people who are on remand should be entitled to vote because they have not been convicted and I think there is an argument for allowing a vote to those prisoners who have almost served their time and who are transferred from a secure prison to an open prison, as part of the process of adsorbing them back into Society.”

Gordon Henderson made the following statement in Parliament:
“The shadow Secretary of State for Justice urged during his question that any legislation that comes forward should be subject to a free vote. I do not really care whether there is a free vote or not, because I shall vote against any such legislation.”

There are two things more then anything else that affects the Democratic will of the people of Great Britain
1) The European Court of Human Rights, this loathsome Act continually over turns our laws and in most cases to the determent of the British People
2) The European Union most of our laws are now made by the EU once again to the detriment of the British People. With 80% of the population of GB wanting a Referendum on the EU and 70% of those wishing to leave why doesn’t our government do something? Simple when the British Politics they join the EU gravy train what did Cameron promise A cut in the EU budget but instead he got us an increase.
We need what Switzerland does in that on any major issue there is a referendum.
Not all are like the ones have mention local MEP Daniel Hannan is outspoken critic of the EU and local MP Gordon Henderson is not frightened to represent the wishes of his constituents just read below his stand against Prisoners getting the vote.
