CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE SPOKE OF INFRASTRUCTURES

                                                                              IS IT ANOTHER MIRAGE?  OR WAS HE
  TALKING ABOUT THE HS2?

Chancellor George Osborne gave again a great speech at the Nation Railway Museum at York, of all places. Let’s hope all his promises come true.

He has new plans now and will establish a National Infrastructure Commission. Another body which will have to be paid for by the taxpayers.

Mr Osborne said: “We haven’t done enough of that in our country in the past. And as a result British people have to spend longer than they should getting to work:  they pay more than they should in energy bills: they can’t buy the homes they want, all because of the failure of successive government and the society that elects those government – to think long terms.”

Sounds impressive but when you look at it, it was Thatcher who ruined the country and ended up with five million unemployed. Labour pulled it out of the mud and now we have Tories again running the country into a standstill with their endless cuts.

George Osborne added:” That has started to change. New railway links are being laid, new roads are being built and new broadband is being installed. Britain has rediscovered it’s ambitious and we are thinking big again.”

The only project most probably will succeed is the Tory’s beloved H2S
If he meant what he said why was the £36billion modernisation project of the Northern Railways cancelled?

The commission will oversee a ‘promised’ £100billion spend by 2020.

Their priority will be linking big northern cities with London. Doesn’t it smell of H2S?
George Osborne had a 5.4 percent fall in infrastructure project investment since he became Chancellor in 2010. He announced several sales of assets to finance the bill of the projects.

The National Infrastructure Commission will work independently in areas like Transport, Energy, communication and Flood defences.  It will collect evidences and issues reports.

Labour’s Shadow  Chancellor John McDonnell said that while he supposed to establish of a commission, it would be ineffective unless the government commits the necessary funds to infrastructure projects.

Andrew Andonis will be head of the commissions and Michael Hesseltine.

Mr McDonnell added: “But the reality- you can set up these commissions but unless you commit the finance of the projects themselves they’ll simply produce reports that gain the dust of ministers’ shelves. That is the problem under George Osborne infrastructure spending has declined even further every year and his current Charter for Budget Responsibility is to decline even further we are just not matching our European competition, which means in the long run, we will not be able to compete in a global market.”

UK CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE PLANS £48BILLION CUT 2014 - Updated 2 July, 2015



UPDATED:  2 July, 2015 --
The emergency budget will be read next Wednesday 8 July, 2015 but bet on it it will not all the truth. 

Already cuts had been announced to the Northern Railways which were promised a £38billion upgrade and turn it into a Northern Powerhouse. 


No cuts to cancellation of the super (white elephant) train HS2. Already at  budget of £50billion and will be finally at £100billion or even more.


Independent Living Allowance which hits the most severely disabled people and their carers.


David Cameron withdrew his promise from the General Election not to cut Tax Credit for low wage earners. Also child credit is most properly being cut. A non-party charity Degree 38 is fighting it with all its might.

David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne are out to get the last penny of the most valnurable and already poor people.

Now they are bakc in power they show their real faces.



UPDATE:  19 March, 2015 -- After all that spin in the Budget the reality will be different as it always was. After every budget the cuts, which they did not mentioned, started.  This budget was designed to catch voters.  Although heavily disguised but it still was obvious.  If voted in, then they show their real face like the last time. It is up to the voters to think hard after five years who to give their vote to.


UPDATE: 7 December,2014 ---  In his Autumn budget he mentioned £27billion but will he stick to it or when they win the next General Election not go back to £48billion  as he mentioned before? The Institute of Fiscal  Study even mentioned he has to cut £55billion. Where do these people think they get it from since everything is already cut to the bare bone is not known?

To crown it all, May had the despicable nerve to authorise it and put it into action on 1 April, 2017; after tens of thousands of people been starving, homelessness, suicides and death from hyperthermia for years.

If all the promises from PM David Cameron fail but the promises from Chancellor George Osborne will not.

According to Mr Osborne the £25billion a year so far is not enough to reach his austerity target. He now supposes £48billion a year, according to the Financial Times. The main areas, it is assumed, are the police, council and defence are the main targets.

So far the government set out a 21 per cent since 2010 and look at the hardship it was introducing to the country and its people. Where on earth will they increase it to 33 per cent? People are already starving surviving only on food banks and if the winter is hard they will die by the thousands because they can not afford to heat their homes.  It is easy to push pencils across accounts books but they have to face the reality and the impact it had already.

===================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU..
===================================================

It is also a fact that with all Mr Osborne’s austerity in the last nearly five years the debts of Britain had increase by £500billion. Would we not like to confront the great Chancellor and hear what he has to say about that? They can not whitewash it with having taken it over from Labour. It is £500billion since 2010. What happen to the books with all the cut backs and trying to save?

It will end like at Margaret Thatcher’s time. There were rows of shops closed at the High Street. Streets not swept and parks neglected.  It still was not as bad as it is at the moment. There were still no food banks for desperate people having to go to. Even the food banks have to cut back the size of parcels because there are too many people to  be helped.. 

All this while this government created 4,700 multi-millionaires and 95 multi-billionaires with an average of £95billions. The gap was never so wide since the Victorian times.

Another report states that since the council had to cut back they cut back on the most vulnerable people, the Old Age Pensioner’s meal-on-wheels. If that is not a crime for one of the richest country in the world, what is?  Yes,  you read right Britain is on the 6th place still in spite of PM David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne trying to brainwash the public.

Especially the Old Age Pensioner should be dreaded right. They sacrificed so much for the country of which Cameron and Osborn and their “Elite” have no idea.  All their lives they swam on top of the fat skimmed off the back of hard working people for whom they have no regards.

A government which does not respect their elderly generation is no good. They even cut the £140 Winter Warm payments. But at the same time reduce their fatcats taxes. They literally take the food out of the mouth of old people and give it to the already super rich. It is not only the meal-on-wheels but they are also very lonely and the visit provides them a little break.

In the North East were poverty is most only 25 per cent of councils provide still meals. In the North West it is 48 per cent.
