EVIDENCE OF AUSTERITY

SUMMARY   It is revealed that Austerity was unnecessary after Johnson was spending £500bln in one year during Covid on untendered contracts for Track/Trace and PPE/Ventilators to his friends which wasn't done! Austerity should be cancelled now!

Hopeful Johnson will be intervene and rescue the Pension Fund of Arcadia Group this time.

After an already longest list of small and big chain-stores either already bankrupt or cutting drastically their branches the latest is now the Arcadia Group owned by Sir Philip Green. Green already drove BHS into closure with the Pension Fund of estimated £500mln missing. somehow its no surprise that Arcadia Group is heading for Bankruptcy. Will the Pension Fund be paid out to 15,000 staff losing their job?

Johnson and his Tory Government did not issue a Quarter Report on Economy at the end of September. The previous report showed a deficit and no need to guess it will show another one; maybe even bigger. They also did not do an Autumn Budget.


Experts and the Public are not easily fooled although Johnson tries his best.


It is so obvious when you walk down the High Street. Rows of boarded up small shops and big Stores with sale signs for closing down and big price reduction in red across their windows.


Johnson and his Government achieved finally an economic disaster because of Austerity and the newly established Universal Credit. People are at their rock bottom or beyond and cannot afford to buy anything. They even have to make a choice between to buy food or pay for heating. Streets are littered with rough sleepers and all that in a country to be the fifth richest in the world.


Apart from big companies left the country or even being sold by this Government; big Store Chains are now in trouble and have to either close down a great number of stores or go bankrupt. Amongst them are very well known and old names which had been around for centuries.


Here is a list of some of the 1,243 Stores in 500 Top High Street which will close down in 2020:

Plus TATA - British Steel announced cuts 1,000 jobs

Plus NPower - energy provider - cuts 4,500 jobs

Mothercare gone into administration - 79 stores - 2,500 job loss


Debenham – 4,000 Job loss


Marks and Spencer – 959 stores close


Toys R Us

Topshop – 500 Stores close

New Look - 90 Stores close

Poundworld

Maplin - 2,500 job loss

House of Frazer

Evans Cycles

Sainsbury, Argos, Asda – 125 stores close

Morrison – 2,600 job loss

Miss Selfridges –

Next – 200 stores close

Lingerie Outlet St – including DKNY, Vanity Fair, stopped trading

Yorkshire Linen

Karen Millen – bankrupt - plus further 18 stores

Select – 1,800 job loss

Thomas Cook went into administration but saved by Hays Travel

Abermarle + Bond – 400 staff and 100 branches close

Foot Locker – close 1100 stores in UK

Bennetts – largest Dept Store in the World struggling to survive but closed shops

tRed in administration since 2017 saved by shutting down some branches

HARRY AMIES on Saville Row – closed down

Office Outlet – 1,200 job loss

J Jill – closes 75 stores


It is no surprise that the economy finally grinds to a standstill after 9 years of Tory Government constant cut down in Welfare, Councils, Civil Service, Universal Credit and rising prices in energy tariffs, food and clothing.


It is a surprise it lasted so long and did not crush any earlier.


Now, Johnson heading for GE19 and promises anything and everything, but it is too late. The economy is at its final. 

Car industry, which is always the backbone of the Economy, announced that they would go ahead with re-location which means another great loss of jobs.


Johnson is now determined to sign a TTIP and sale of NHS with Trump which means UK get colonised and NHS privatised all for the benefit of Johnson, his gang and Trump.


Hopefully, he wont be able to achieve it before his, hopefully, non-re-election on 12 December, 2019

SKRIPAL CASE INCREDIBLE Update 20 Nov 2018

UPDATE 20 NOV 2018 - Two Russians were seen in Salisbury supposed to be Russian Agents, at the same time. Now they are accused of spraying the poison on the door handle of Skripals' house. Maybe they did or maybe they didn't. Both deny it and stated they were just sightseeing.

What is odd that as secret service they would spray it in broad daylight on a Sunday at around 12 o'clock. 

The Skripals and so called Novichok poisoning seems to be getting, in my opinion, more and more incredible. Too many contradicting reports.

When Mr Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found slammed unconscious on a park bench people rushed there to help, touched them and wiped their froth from their mouth. Ambulance was called and they were put in there and taken to a Salisbury hospital.

Novichok is one of the deadliest and fast acting nerve agents. Yet, none of these people were reported to have been checked or found infected, apart from the policeman but the public must have been there first.

A report from an expert stated that it could only be administrated on their clothing if onto their skin they would have been dead almost immediate. There is no antidote and if they survive will have long term health problems. They never be the same.

Their car and especially their ambulance was only taken away by the military after eight or ten days. None of the crew was reported to be ill who must have been in close contact.

There is a guy mirrored behind them taking photos just before they were found slammed unconscious on the park bench. Was he ever traced and questions – I doubted. There certainly was no mentioning of him in any reports.

The public, today, is mad with taking pictures of any incident with their mobile and I am sure they done so in this case. The public, to be criticised, are so bad with taking pictures that they often forget to help.

The public never seen any of them, even so, it was a highly publicised case but never one other picture apart from one in the pub and two separate ones of Mr Skripal and his daughter Yulia were shown.

Both were reported critically ill and unconscious for over a week. At first the daughter woke up and after some days stated that she is getting stronger every day. After another few days she managed to get hold of a phone and supposed to have called her cousin Victoria.

She was telling her that it is nothing to worry about and they all are fine, her father is fine and just resting. Victoria said that she was trying to get a visa to visit them but was refused. In any case, Putin requested a visit since Yulia was a Russian citizen but was refused; the Russian Ambassador from London was refused a visit. In other words, nobody are allowed to see them.

The day after that phone call and statement that her father is fine and just resting; a new announcement was made that Mr Skripal was now conscious and both responding well to the treatment despite there is no antidote to Novichok.

Another baffle is that there were never any other pictures of them both in  hospital. No crowd of journalists outside the hospital. No press conference with doctors. On the contrary, a senior doctor announced there was nobody with nerve agent poisoning found in the hospital.

Now, after rapid improvement of their health the news announcement is that on release from the hospital they both will fly out to the USA and live there with a new identification.

Why all this since May, Johnson and the rest of the Tory Government still swear that it was Novichok and it came from Russia. Soon after May flew to Brussels and convinced the 27 EU countries’ leader. May and EU started an immediate mass expulsion of Russian diplomats despite Porton Down, military top laboratory stated that the sample was Novichok but could not identify the country of origin and they are fed-up of being forced to state it was Russian.

Even today, after all these statements from experts May and Johnson still insist it came from Russia and Putin was behind the attack.

Putin also expelled the same number of the various diplomats and closed-down the British Embassy in Moscow and Petersburg. He also demanded to be given a sample of the evidence which May refused.

Putin sent an application to The Hague, International Criminal Court, to be granted an investigation but was turned down. This is a surprise since The Hague supposed to be neutral. Was there an interference through the backdoor? May seems to be winning all the time to shield her accusation against Russia. Is there a more powerful body behind all of this which is aiming for a war? It was obvious that Cameron already tried hard to achieve it but was unsuccessful.

History shows that Russia never was the aggressor but USA, financing Hitler knowing where it would lead to, UK always does it in a very diplomatic way; quietly in an unobserved way. Queen Mother, Elizabeth, Margaret as children practising Nazi Salute, Duke of Windsor visiting Hitler, Black Shirts were allowed to march and spew Hitler’s views. 

There supposed to be about 20 warlords working constantly in the background. Scheming and planning decades ahead for wars, inflation, mass starvation and disease epidemics. One reason to earn big money from weaponry and the other to reduce the number of people while they sit in a safe haven in the background.

This is the real world we are living in.

MAY IMPROVING ECONOMY ANOTHER LIE Update 25 July 2020

Update 25 July, 2020 - This article proves that economy was bad for a long time and not just due to CV19 lockdown. Therefore, its feared, Johnson will the collapse of the economy blame on CV19. Admittedly it didnt help but already in June 2019 it showed a deficit and ever since we never saw another report which doesnt hide the facts but tells it.
Johnson and his gang will not accept that Austerity kills the economy. If you havent got the money even for food or pay the bills how can you buy anything else which eventually effects retailers and manufacturer. Its as simple as that!

PM May and her Tories keep praising that the economy is improving. The reality shows a different picture.

It had been forecast that 60,000 shops will close and 300,000 staff redundant by the end of 2018 or 2019.

The devastation in British high streets are destroying whole communities. It is hard to tell what is the real reason behind it? The fact remains that if you cut benefits, keep wages low eventually people are forced to stop buying. The result is shop closures, manufacturing slowing down and redundancies which again comes back to less buying. It is a vicious circle with a downward spiral effect.

It isn’t rocket science and everybody can figure it out. So, why is the government not listening to the devastating results and still hell-bend on further cuts?

At first it affected the small shops in the High Street which closed-down when Austerity was introduced in 2012. Now, in the last year the big corporation and supermarket started to lose. Despite of it all, May introduced a £12billion Welfare cut and £16billion council cut.

The effect came before Christmas when it is always a great boom to the economy but last year it was not.

To add to the disastrous situation already, Bank of England increased interest rates to 0.5 per cent which increased lending, mortgage, prices in supermarket and rail fares.

It hit home; consumer stopped spending on Christmas presents.

The result is that ToysRus faced bankruptcy and saved themselves by closing 26 branches.

Moss Bros. issued profits warnings.

Thomas Cook closed 50 travel agency branches.

Debenhams had a drop of 2.6 per cent during Christmas.

Lloyds Bank closed around 800 branches in 2017.

Marks & Spencer non-food sales dropped by 2.8 per cent.

House of Fraser requested store rent cut from their landlords because of low Christmas business.

New Look fell on hard times and is still in trouble.

Big retailers stated that they surviving a worse time for 40 years. They also pointing out that the Government is not listening and adapting a policy which helps retailer.

The fear is real that the High Street as we know it will be soon lost and with that the community.

One backlash on retail and the High Street is the Internet. People are so pressed for time that they buy a lot from the Internet. It is understandable and very convenient but the disadvantage on the environment is an increase of delivery vans, traffic jams and pollution.

It is now up to the Government to find a solution to improve the problems. May can’t keep on putting her head into the sand much longer and never give a solution at PMQ and flapper about anything else but give an answer or quote false statistics. 

TORIES LOOK INTO YOUR MIRROR

SUMMARY and what do you see? UK is the second largest arms dealer in the world. The largest is the USA. No wonder these two stick together!

“You are the terrorists.

“You attack other countries on an obscure raft of lies

“You occupy, subjugate, rob and ruin them.

“You bomb civilians with our air force

and with guided missiles.

“You sell arms to totalitarians.

“You fund the military of dictators.

“Its way past time that you recognized our own behaviour, stopping abruptly and begged forgiveness, paid for our crimes and declare peace.

“Not a chance of course.

“Instead you’ll make our poor pay for a new generation of nuclear weapons to terrorise other human beings with the threat of sudden mass destruction.

“See the extremist in the mirror.”

A summary of very true words copied from Twitter with some changes. Hopefully the author does not mind but the summoning up so very true, it was worthwhile to spread it.

Every ordinary man and women would agree with it but the politicians who are never at the spot of bombing and destruction. They are safely away, living a life of luxury, playing armchair generals and couldn’t care less how many innocent lives get destroyed as long it is profitable for them. 

PM May has sold arms to
£4,8m Afghanistan
£7,5m Colombia
£0,9m Burma
£1,3m Uzbekistan
£124m Iraq
£4,4m Turkmenistan
£135,000 Syria
£26m Pakistan
£1m Zimbabwe
£155m Israel
£335m China
£266m Russia
£240m Turkey
£1.6m Somalia
£1.2m South Sudan
£4b South Africa

Altogether arms deals were made to 22 out of 30 most repressive regimes

USA are masters of ruin and destruction with a record of 34 countries illegally invaded since the 50s with the UK supporting most of them.

If that isn’t war crime and terrorism, what is? 

The other point, where is the money going to with all these billions of arms deals, austerity, welfare cuts, NHS and schools cuts, homelessness because people can't pay the rent any more and most of them are working people?

The National debts has increased to £1,8trillon despite of all the cuts. sales of weapons, big companies deals and is the highest for 67 years. What is really going on? What happened to all that money?

Somebody must be siphoning off by the billions of pounds.

The most dedicated Tory could not vote for them and see the country and its people going down. What happened at GE2017? My opinion is that the result was half of it a fiddle somewhere; after all the deprivations imposed for the last six years.

Furthermore, the GE19 has 'won' Boris Johnson a 80 seats majority which highly disputable and given uncontrollable power. It is an open secret that it was a fiddle and coup but no powerful organisation or general public seem to stand up and bring them down.

He messed up Covid and did not a proper organised Test/Trace from January 2020 onwards but handed out untendered contracts to 4 big Corporations costing £22bln but were never followed through and the contracts had no pay-back clause. He did not buy sufficient PPE and Ventilator right from the beginning. So far 81,000 people had to die because of Johnson's disorganised shamble and his friends only cashing in.
