If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3We do not need capitalism with a human face.
The end of capitalism, the end of representative democracy and the end of exploitation is what we the people need.
What we need is a communal society government by direct democracy and complete economic equality with workers in control of the means for production.
All class enemies whether they are the greedy capitalists, the bankers, the bourgeoise parasite class, the civil service, the politicians, the police and the other arms of the enforcement of the capitalist tyranny along with the union quisling need to be overthrown by popular revolution and taken away in chains.
Workers Unite!
You have nothing to lose but your chains!
This plan was written obviously trying to stir popular support. Is it based in reality?
- who's going to pay for the 80% of recently unemployed ppls wages?
- It states that banks should be forced to lend to keep buisnesses open if jobs are at stake, and a 3 yr stop to repossesions? Isnt that just going to make the situation worse as we (taxpayers) are going to be bailing out the banks who according to this plan will be bailing out finacially strapped companies and householders who can no longer compete or pay their morgages in the downturn. Is this not throwing taxpayers cash away?
- I think the point about capping bank managers salaries is a good move, but in reality how will this make any difference to the farce that is our banking system. they owe billions and billions to wholesale banks. what is cutting the fat cats wages goign to do?
pervious post- communism was tried and failed badly, I think the problem with this country is cronism, not democracy, our finance minister only has his job because his dad was in ff before him, same deal with brian cowen, I think its time to get rid of ppl who dont have a clue what they are doing! and elect ppl who can do the job. direct democracy is a load of rubbish, the people wont vote to correct this dire situation. U need a government with strength and a pair off B$lls to put through across the board pay cuts and public service lay offs, A chuck Norris character who just doesnt care if the entire country hates him! In all times of crisis always think to yourself "what would Chuck Norris do?"
The solutions put forward by the unions just go to show how out of touch with reality they are!
The unions pulled out of the partnership talks because none of them were strong enough to bring back the bad news to their members!
Their solutions are vague and don't deal with the issues!
The next few years of social unrest won't take away from the fact that wages will fall and standard of living will deteriorate due to the fact that we have grown increasingly uncompetitive on the global stage!
What we needed was for the unions was real partnership to help us through the difficult times! When times were good they took what they could just like all the other vested interests in the state! Now when we need them most to pull through for the society as a whole they are going to hold us all to ransom!
Most of the unionised employees are civil and public servants! They have the luxury of putting the state over a barrel!
None of the unions lobbied the Government to cool the economy, come to think of it, none of the social partners tried to slow it down!
Now they believe that they know the answers! Blaming the bankers is just not sufficient! We are all in this together and the pension levy is just the first step!
This creates a level playing field that should have been done earlier! When the taxation commission comes out with their report later this year the rest of the workers in the economy are going to be hammered further!
LETS JUST GET ON WITH IT
