Climategate: Who pays?

Given the amount of money that the various Cap and Trade policies, speculated to generate, $45 trillion, and the amount of funding that the researchers have been allocated, $20 million in “research” grants, we need to be sure, before giving a 'artificial value' to one of the most abundant substances in the universe, CO2, and an essential building block of life, that the policies that are being based on true and accurate data, and that the scientists finding go through an honest, impartial peer review process, and that no materials related to the data and research are delete nor attempt to evade Freedom of Information requests.
It doesn't seem much to ask since we have paid and will continue to pay for all of it.



and on Twitter, the whole world has an opinion.....




Gordon Brown would have anyone who questions the 'evidence' as "flat-earthers" or "anti-science"..and Ed Miliband's considered response to doubts by the voters as "dangerous and deceitful."

Would that include any scientists who disagree too?

Mary Cooke invited a policewoman into her house after she had dialled 999 to report a speeding car which nearly hit her outside her home in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffs.

However, the 27-year-old was left furious after she claims the officer raised concerns with the council’s children’s services department over the state of her property.

Mrs Cooke said she and her husband Peter are redoing the wallpaper at their semi-detached house and that she was “sickened” police had judged her on its appearance.

The first she knew of the officer’s concerns was several days later when she received a letter from Staffordshire County Council expressing fears for the wellbeing of her unborn child.

Mrs Cooke, who is 10 weeks' pregnant with her first baby, said: "The letter made me feel sick.

And the moral of this story is ...never let the police into your house even when you are doing them a favour.

There is a lot to be said for joined up government..it usually has a common purpose thread running through it...

I know that there are very vulnerable people in this land which need the protection of the law and help from Social Services, but reports like this do not build trust with the public and these institutions.

Instead of send letters, (funny, I seem to recall someone else having problems with writing letters today, who was that then?), from the children's department, why don't they offer some help in getting the house decorated!

How the Kremlin hijacked Labour: Diary of a Kremlin insider reveals the hold Soviets had over Labour politicians | Mail Online

Ah! the Cold War Era!...

Protect and Survive and all that..

Oh! What a tangled web we weave when we do practice to deceive.

From the article

Last updated at 1:40 AM on 06th November 2009

The Lancashire blacksmith's son and leader of the Communist Party of Great Britain stood in front of the group of high-flying young Left-wingers at Cambridge University.

Harry Pollitt told them: 'Don't join us. Work hard, get good degrees, join the Establishment and serve our cause from within.'

It was a few years after World War II and they took Pollitt at his word. Within a decade, the Communist Party foundered (its membership peaked at 60,000 in 1945) as Pollitt's bright young devotees infiltrated the Establishment.

They were soon exercising considerable influence in universities, the state education system, publishing houses, the legal hierarchy and the civil service.

But it was in politics that these high-flying members of the Left established their greatest power-base, both in the Labour Party and the trades' union movement.

Just how deep the tentacles of communism reached into the heart of British government has now been revealed with the emergence of an extraordinary diary by Anatoly Chernyaev, the Soviet Union's contact man with the West at the icy height of the Cold War.

Meticulously detailed and written by hand on lined notepaper, the diary has come to light in the U.S. National Security Archive.

It tells the story of a 'special relationship' not between Britain and America - but between the British Labour Party and Soviet communists.

It was a relationship that lasted more than 30 years, right up to Margaret Thatcher's arrival as Prime Minister in 1979 and beyond.

Indeed, one of the most shocking of the diary's many revelations is how Labour leaders Michael Foot and Neil Kinnock colluded with the Soviet communists to try to beat their 'common enemy', Margaret Thatcher.

But more worrying, perhaps, is the fact that the document shows in stark detail how the political ideology of so many of those who govern us today was shaped by the unspeakable communist creed of the Soviet Union.

The unpalatable truth is that many ministers in Government today rose through the ranks of a British socialist movement that was heavily influenced - and even controlled - by the Kremlin in Moscow.

Svetlana Savranskaya, Director of Russia Programmes at the U.S. archive, describes Chernyaev's diary as 'the single most authoritative source on Soviet policy-making in the last 20 years'.

So there you have it..and with Britain, as our Dear Leader puts it, placed at the heart of Europe, makes it well placed in EUSSR to continue with its socialist agenda.

Young Gordon's guide to paying off your Student Loan

Prudent student's guide to living off the state and being a 'parasite' - Telegraph

He may be known for his economic austerity, but Gordon Brown once backed the description of social security benefits as "free money" in a guide to how students could live for next to nothing.

Mr Brown was also involved in advising students how to "con" free food and pointing out that there was nothing wrong with being a "parasite".

The freeloader's charter comes in the form of a pamphlet he edited while he was student rector at Edinburgh University in the 1970s.

Mr Brown's handbook for scroungers, published when he was 22, tells students: "If you're British and can give an address, free money is available from social security, basic £5.80 per week.

"Social and medical benefits are your right, not charity hand-outs, so never be reticent about claiming them. For whatever reason the so-called welfare state was brought into being, it can and must be used to its full extent."

Called Alternative Edinburgh, the 200-page document gives advice on how to find free food and how to get a bath at a posh hotel.

It states: "Sit in the lobby until reception is busy, then walk quickly upstairs or into the lift. Even the plushest hotels have at least one public bathroom to a floor."

For a free meal: "Con your way to asking for a glass of water or sit beside drinkers and they will feed you for nothing."

Hungry scroungers are told to "say you've forgotten your student card" in college canteens. Another "infallible" trick is to attend a party with "a carrier bag of empty cans with two half-bricks at the bottom".

For "experienced parasites" the Edinburgh Festival is a gift, it adds.

But my personal favourite is...

When caught by police attempting to con someone, the booklet advises, "You may think you are guilty but legal advice can show otherwise."
( I'm Gordon, you know where to find me...)



Ah! the memories of those heady days of Uni!

 

Those foppish hair styles and memories of Rugger!

Drinking all those cans and finding those bricks demonstrated ingenuity and blue sky thinking, still didn't get the bow..had to make do with this old tie stolen from tramp.

Former Pc is jailed for blackmail

BBC NEWS | Wales | Former Pc is jailed for blackmail


Former Pc is jailed for blackmail
Newport Crown Court
The court heard how the gang targeted two businessmen

A former police officer who admitted his part in bungled blackmail plots has been jailed for more than two years.

South Wales Police firearms expert Pc Ray Clark, 41, used a replica handgun to help a gang scare their victims out of more than £40,000.

But the scams backfired and Pc Clark was arrested by fellow officers before the gang collected any money.

A judge at Newport Crown Court also jailed two other men for seven years for their part in the blackmail plots.

Allan Coe, 45, and Anthony Holwell, 48, both of Newport, were jailed after their trial in which the former police officer gave evidence against them.

Mark Brogan, 37, of Newport, admitted conspiracy to blackmail. He was given a suspended 12-month sentence and ordered to do 250 hours community work.

Strange how these types of cases don't seem to attract the MSM TV News. If this had been a civilian, this would have been a major news story.

The most telling bit though was this...

The court heard he has recently participated in a video made by South Wales Police to warn new recruits about the dangers of becoming involved with criminals.

You couldn't make this up!!!!

Comment upon comment upon comment.

I have been following the comments on the BBC Have Your Say site regarding the so called ‘Lockerbie bomber’ Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi story and it has served as a reminded on just how effective education has been in robbing us of our critical thinking skills.

Many, though not all, of the comments reveal how little interest or ability of the average person demonstrates in actually reading the news, researching the evidence and drawing ones own conclusions. They appear to be very comfortable in allowing others to do their thinking for them and to slavishly follow the opinions of the State-Endorsed Lame Stream Media, unable to accept that we are being manipulated.

Of course this was a terrible attack on a civilian aircraft, the loss of life and grief of relatives cannot be compensated by any conviction, but if an innocent man is being punished and vilified, does this not just add to the monstrosity of the crime?

There are many links to further background information, but here are just two.

ACPO President believes Elected Chief's is a bad idea...

Elected police chiefs 'bad idea'

Hugh Orde announced his departure from Northern Ireland in April

Electing police chiefs could lead to public confusion without improving accountability, said the head of the Association of Chiefs Police Officers.

Sir Hugh Orde, speaking in his new role as president of Acpo, said such a system could be targeted by protest voters from special interest groups.

"Every professional bone in my body tells me this is not a great idea."

BBC NEWS | UK | Elected police chiefs 'bad idea'

Nothing to do with ACPO being a private organisation of course.......
