Demanding Money With Menace

Adam Hart-Davis
I used to like Adam Hart-Davis. I did. His historical shows were entertaining and engaging, I especially used to like the one where he bimbled about the place on a Brompton style bicycle. “What a charming eccentric” I would think.
No more.
Now I hate the bastard with a burning hatred. That burns. With hatred.
Why so? Hart-Davis is now The Enemy. The Man no less.
By accepting the shilling of the State he has become worse than scum, complicit in the demands of money with menace he dwells in that particular hell reserved for tax collectors. Tax collectors have been hated throughout history and just having an eccentric manner does not absolve you from its taint. Bastard.
Tax Doesn’t Have to be Taxing?
Go fuck yourself scum.

The Cold War - did we really win?
Common perception is that the cold war was won by ‘The West’ following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In some ways this is clearly a correct assessment, the soviet economy fell on its arse and the introduction of free market forces (to some extent anyway) has lead to an increase in personal and economic freedom in the old block counties.
War won right?
Maybe not so much. If we view the ‘war’ as a face off between western powers and soviet block then the western powers came off on top. No question. However if we view the ‘war’ as being between the ideology of free market forces and communism then I think perhaps some reevaluation might be necessary.
Certainly in Blighty to promote pure free market forces is akin to promoting child porn - something that is so obviously wrong and evil as to require no further discussion. It is a given that wage earners should pay as much of their earnings to the state machine as the state should require of them in order to pay out for non-wage earners or for unsolicited services.
In other words everything you own (and of course your person) belongs to the state and you are only allowed to keep what is yours at the pleasure of the state.
Doesn’t sound much like freedom to me.
We are required to pay top dollar for third rate services that we haven’t asked for and in some cases that we do not receive - NHS dental treatment does not exist in my area, but I don’t get a rebate on NI ‘contributions’.
It is accepted that it is state business what drugs I use, how many portions of fruit’n’veg I eat, when I can buy alcohol (indeed how much I should pay for it), when an independent retailer should open for business and a whole myriad of ever increasing regulations on individual freedoms.
It is illegal in Blighty to pay for a vote, yet this is precisely what happens every election time. Under the Conservatives we saw headline grabbing ‘tax-cuts’ at the pre-budget elections, under the Labour Party we have new handouts and social engineering tax systems. The people vote themselves bread and circuses and the wealth generators are expected to divvy up for them.
Essentially what we experience is institutional socialism. Or as I prefer to call it Communism Lite.
If communism was manifestly wrong in the soviet block, then why do we seem so keen to have it here?

24 Hours to save the NHS
We all remember Nu Labour telling us about our “24 Hours to save the NHS”, “Things can only get better” and all that toss don’t we?
Yesterday my dental surgery kindly notified me that they were no longer to perform NHS treatment unless the patient was under 18 or on the welfare.
I can probably afford the private charges, but that is scarcely the point now is it. I have already paid for the treatment in taxation and yet I am told I must pay again, there were already ‘top-up’ charges but now we must pay the full market rate. I am quite content to pay the going rate, but not if the Government has already stolen with menaces the monies allegedly to pay for these services.
Will the Government now give me a refund?
Will they shite.

The Business of Government
Ah, government. The stalwart of the people, defender of our borders and interests.
Whilst trawling for information on my latest madcap conspiracy theory (the jimmies are taking over the UK, evidence scant I’m afraid!) I noticed this Very Important News Item. No, not a story about bogus asylum seekers being deported, not a story about criminals being put in jail, not even a story about terrorists being arrested.
No, this is a story about live music venues.
Exsqueeze me? Baking powder?
Exactly why is this the business of government? Next time you get some bullshit story about how taxes need to go up to pay for nurses or some other heart string tugging tale, bear this in mind:
Bloated government is busy pissing our money up the wall on bullshit initiatives and schemes which it has no business being involved in.

Stars say “Thanks Tone”
It’s is easy to be generous with other peoples money, more so when the other people have the money taken off them by force. However I’m sure Trust Me Tony will have a wee chuff-on with this open letter from such do-gooders as Bonio, Jude Law et al. Trust Me Tony likes nothing more than feeling like the big man, and he loves celebrity, so this besuited Avid Merrion must be doing sex-wee in his pants following this thumping endorsement.
Ahh, but ‘tis not enough for the do-gooders
“We’re counting on you to lead rich countries to cancel Third World debts, deliver more and better aid that meets the UN target, and end unfair rules.”
Other Gun Culture favourites, the UN chime in with this homily
The UN wants countries to commit 0.7% of their national income in foreign aid by 2013.
Well that’s very fucking big of them.
I shan’t bother with the discourse on how all this aid just ends up in the pockets of genocidal thugs and murders, nor point out that such aid is merely helping turn the wheel of poverty and dependance. You can find that elsewhere if you like.
What I will point out is that these “celebs” aren’t exactly short of a few bob, put your hand in your own pocket Bonio and keep it out of mine.
Another point: just exactly who voted the UN in? Who voted Kofi Annan king of the world? ‘cause I sure as hell didn’t.

Britain is Perfect!
Stop Press!
Waiting lists are no more,
Crime is non-existant,
Pensioners have a decent state pension,
The roads are un-congested and smooth as billiard tables,
Inner cities are clean and pleasant,
National debt has been repaid,
Our armed forces are fully equiped and ready for anything,
Britain is truly a Utopia!
What’s that you say?
None of the above is true?
Shurely shome mishtake?
The prime minister, Tony Blair, today promised that £150m of the money Britain has earmarked for tackling the global Aids crisis will be spent on children orphaned by the disease and those at most risk from the HIV virus.
But surely a worthy cause, think of the children etc?
International “I welcome wholeheartedly the strong focus on human rights in this new UK strategy.
What? Did I miss something? What human right is being infringed by screwing around , getting a disease from same, possibly passing same on to your family and then looking to people from the West to bail you out?
Random thoughts on taxation
Periodically we hear from the media that most of the population would support higher taxes. Generally this includes the caveat that this must mean better public services, hospitals etc. Let’s leave aside for the moment the question of who “most” refers too i.e. does it mean most taxpayers, most people who would actually be paying more etc.
If they are so keen to un-burden themselves of their cash, then why not just write a cheque out to The Customs and Excise?
Answers on a postcard....
It must be, or else why are Tone and Gordo busy pissing money away overseas to sort out health problems that exist in areas where governments are busy lining their own pockets and building up armed forces to keep themselves in power?
From
The Guardian
Mr Blair’s announcement came after the chancellor, Gordon Brown, last week pledged £1.5bn of UK money for combating the disease around the world in his spending review.
No arguments it is A Bad Job, but these grandiose gestures are simply not the business of domestic government. Government My fucking money is freely given stolen to provide essential services, and worthy though it may be combating AIDS in far off climes is not essential to your average Brit.
If an individual wishes to give money to charities working in these fields then more power to them. If the same individual sees fit that my money should be stolen from me to fund their pet causes then they are quite welcome to go fuck themselves!
terrorist freedom-fighter statesman communist Nelson Mandela has this to say on the matter:
Answers to the usual place!

Paying more tax
Instead let us consider these strange people who would actually give more money to the government to piss up the wall on such posts as “Diversity Advisor” and “Equality Officer” (see the Daily Ablution for further details of these worthwhile positions).
