For years there has been much talk of human rights at least since the end of world war 2 and the atrocities of Hitlers camps. and following on from this, the UK has tended to be one of the leaders in the field on fighting for fairness and human rights world wide.  This campaign has been taken and spread world wide with the help of the UN and and embraced in varying degrees by most nations.        

 

 ONCE AGAIN WINDOWS 7 REPLACES WHAT IS RELIABLE WITH WHAT IS CHILDISH.

No wonder so many people complain about microsoft, they cannot bear to leave anything alone, they have to turn something like XP into a toy for children to play with. XP pro had its issues for instance it was slow to load, open or close but it did the job,  If you are a serious user and use a computer for work or creative processes there is no way that Windows 7 can be described as an improvement over XP what the fuck have they done with Windows Explorer? it now seems to be Windows Loser which it does very well.  I have to move lots of files around frequently and do lots of searches.  I dont want or need lots of windows and clutter.   Microsoft should be thoroughly ashamed of itself for forcing people to infantalize, maybe this is just a symptom of Bill Gates personality if he actually has one.

Not just content with the farce that was Vista it now buggers up even windows 7 and thoroughly ruins my experience of my new super fast computer and turns it into a waste of time. This only started a cataract of problems,  Skype, google talks pal talk etc all refused to recognise my passwords and refused to let me enter and even my cell phone failed due to faulty sim cards.  And finally of course when i did get a new sim card, it managed to lose all my names and addresses. What a crock of shite. Careful of what you place online it can so easily fall into the wrong hands and finally change your passwords regularly.

C A MORON

The week started badly, my fluoride blog on blogger was hacked and spam was sent out in my name via the Friends of the Earth server asking people for money so i could get back from Spain where, according to the spam emails people were getting, i was marooned without cash., as a result of all this, not only was my name slightly tarnished but all my phone numbers and email addresses were stolen. Fortunatley with the help of BT it only took a couple of days to get most of the emails back. i could have don without the problems this caused but as we should all know, the net is about as secure as an unsupported coal seam roof.

The attack was clearly a professional job, I had the latest and most highly rated virus protection and firewall, but whoever this scumbag was, he was able to walk straight through all my defences without any apparent trouble. As my IT friends suggested, it looked like a professional job, so professional in fact that it was probably H M Gov. Perhaps someone does not like me referring to our Primi Munster as Mr, C A Moron.  Its clear that online no one is safe and a ask everyone to be careful of what you entrust to your computer if it spends anytime online.

The Town that never retired (Preston) pensioners worked to death, ?

When i was a schoolkid i used to come home from school and expected my mother who was nursing my sick father as well as bringing me up, to have meals on the table to order.  I could be forgiven as a child for not understtanding how difficult raising a family can be.  My long suffering mum used to be fairly philosophical about this and the only complaint i hever heard was her occasional outburst of " Talk about wear the old ones out first.  My Dads wartimg working life was curtailed by the damage to his health caused by  standing in a water filled trench every night at Salford Docks with a couple of Anti Aircraft Guns, taking pot shots at the Luftwaffe who flew over each night to carry out a varying range of redevelopment work in the Manchester and Salford Area.   H:is main reward for this was chronic and occasionally acute bouts of bronchil asthmam abd arthritis and an fairly early death.   My mother shared this in the form of a dickensian Pention  which was not enough for them to afford even a council house rent.  Now the bad times are coming again and as seen on BBC 1 and the I Player the government are trialling extend working lives into what was formally retirement in their seventies or eighties.  Niether employers or customers are likely to be satisfied with this. Many though willing to give it a try are unlikely to fare very well with this. As age increases concentration falters and many young people let alone the aged are not even computer literate and this is a skill which is now taken as a requirement in most modern jobs and industries suck it and see what .....

is now being trialed and eventually required by this government of the Apes. Look out for the spread of Hells Pensioners and the disorder they are likely to spreada accidentally or otherwise.

I have no problem with this idea providing that it is a voluntary scheme, but it is morally and ethically indefensible  to have any form of compulsion,  its always going to be embarassing for older people to be reminded of what they can no longer do and this scheme impels this towards.  Will fat cat bankers continue to work into their seventi3es and eighties i wonder,???   I think not, many of the professionaly classes have quite probably ever had to do full working days over a prolonged period and come pension time these people will take their (or maybe even other peoples money and leg it.

Perhaps this fine and stupid idea could be tried on members of both houses to see just what is being expected of the  elderley and what this will do to the views and action of the electorate when they get the choice to vote about it at a later date of course.

For a start we could set the likes of mr C A Moron, our far from d ear leader to shovelling up shit, he produces enough of it so he should be held responsible for cleaning up his own mess and not reward idle his time away giving other people problems and complication they really do not need. via is cohorts and his friends rather than rewarding his fellow crooks for their misdeeds.  My parents generation fought in a couple of world wars to put a halt to tyranny and oppression and i for one, owe it to my parents to caontinue this fight.  We spent a lot of time preparing to fight off nazis from the shores of the UK, not realising that we had already been invaded. by a bunch of crooks, liars and swindlers we really do deserve a good slapping and may yet receive one id rhwy continue with these policies (sic)

Tories are still hell bent on a Slash and Burn policy over welfare and benefits.

Only a few years back there was public uproar about the number of homeless people living in doorways and in cardboard boxes under City bridges. Many of these seemed to be the product of the Thatcher Reagan policy of closing down much of britains national and regional industry resulting in many young people becoming destitute and workless. This was a deliberate and cynical policy of controlling spending by simply ensuring that people had no income other than minimal benefits and no where to go for a living wage. Industry was to be closed whilst the financial and banking sector were given cart blanch to make as much dosh as they wished with minimal if any control and this they did with considerable haste though now it seems hardly any foresight or skill.

 Clearly it was now unfashionable to get your hands dirty and actually make anything to sell or export. Its even more so now and if the newest policies are persued, it will get worse. Mr Moron gets upset about welfare allegedly creating an atmosphere of entitlement when in fact soon no one will be entitled to anything at all unless of course you are a smug and conceited Tory Boy with a public school education and the Morals of Mamon. Close down all the industry that they rely on then take away from them anything thats left. Who gives a fuck about the young and unemployed and why should we worry about young people who dont vote anyway. Its true that the pensioners do the voting whilst the young are mostly apathetic about such things. Hardly surprising when they are told to get their A Levels and a degree from the university which they have to pay for themselves when the MPs who all got nice grants, often when they didn!t need them now they have the pleasure of blaming and punishing young people for everything. Bankers and other exploiters of course get off scott free and dont even have to pay back anything they have drained from peoples savings or pensions. And then people still ask me why i call these people scum. If the Government and its cronies in the Lib

Dems and Labour really want to know why young folks think they have a right to a living, where do they think they learned this from. Step forward Mr Moron and his cronies in the other main parties from similar backgrounds, the ones i call the Scumdog Millionaires. 0 Yes even labour under Mr B Liar who pushed the moneterarist boat out even further than Thatchers Mob ever dared. No wonder that the Scots just wish to get out of the Union i certainly cannot blame them. They just want to be rid of the Westminster Government. It may be hard to carry on alone but at least when there are mistakes and problems, the repairs will then fall to the Scots themselves.

 Yesterday the campaign to keep the union together got into full swing and if proof was ever really needed, there were the Keep the Union campaign, Not just Tories, Not just Lib Dems and not even just Old Labour wearing Thatchers Knickers but all of them stood together just like they did when they voted for no change in the voting system. Which of course, resulted in the ConDem imitation alliance farce, or is it, "One Nation Stuck in a Groove?" Suffice it to say that there is not a single Party which can be trusted in any way. None of them really believe in democracy but alone or together, they all believe passionately in Power. They used to say that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But now we have a system that has members who are corrupt from the start as the MP expenses proved, I would suggest that it could only get worse, and will. Now, having taken a lead from the governments policies we are all ensnared in greed and debt and according to todays You and Yours many of us will never own a house and wont even be able to afford to live in the Major cities even if we rent. Well done and congrats to all our politicians or at least the vast majority of them for helping to bring this about. They have nothing to be proud about and must bear shame and people like you and I should do our damnest to ensure that they do so.
