What's not to like?

When you have total w@nkbags like Alex Brummer egging these over privileged eggheads on, is it any wonder we are in the deep brown stuff...

The above exemplifies my pessimism non ami, it's about the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Karteng, ostensibly the second most powerful politician in the land, delivering his budget. But it never happened, the Chancellor's budget disappeared, the Chancellor himself disappeared, indeed his Prime Minister disappeared as well shortly afterwards. So if even the Prime Minister and Chancellor aren't in charge of the country's finances, then who is ?

Remember this slightly sinister incident in China recently, when former President Hu Jintao was marched out of the Great Hall, he's never been seen since.

I almost expect such events in the CCP sinkov, but the turnover of the Highest Order of Cabinet Ministers in the UK since the Normans invaded is unprecedented. Who is actually doing the day-to-day work in keeping the country going? Bizarre hardly covers it.

Exactly mon ami, such events are par for the course in China, we're supposed to do things differently here. What I'd like to know is, if not Kwarti's, just whose budget is now being delivered and who had to approve it before it was allowed to proceed, because obviously someone, or some organisation, has a veto on it who is outside our political system.

It was interesting that as soon as Kwasi resigned, Jeremy Hunt walked into No 11 with his team right behind him, including a Blackrock man. It was as if he knew the call would be coming and he was fully prepared. Which can only because he did the know the call would be coming and he was prepared, WEF puppets all over No 10 and the Treasury now.

This imo mon ami, is much more revealing and relevant than any Tory/Labour yah booing, that's just a smokescreen, an attempt to divert our attention away from what's really going on.

As Sunak was Chancellor, I suspect that it will be, in part at least, his budget. I do not know anything about Hunt’s economic credentials to say whether or not it is «*his*» budget.

My understanding is that Civil Servants at the Treasury are involved, as well as the Bank of England in terms of economic impact (ignored by Truss and cya Kwartang). In addition, there is the Office of Budgetry Responsibility that is involved. There are, no doubt, outside advisors as well.

What is never known are the external influencers who have the Government’s ear - otherwise known as «*vested interests*».

Whilst obvious factual matters are there, like tax increases, the devil comes in with the broad statements of allocating another £X billion to the NHS. That disappears in practice into black holes, quangos, vested interests and so on.

To my mind, the most honest Chancellor was Gordon Brown. He got it wrong with the gold reserves and the raid on pension funds, but he seemed genuine and committed. I await to be corrected.

I don’t like how Hunt smirks when he says how bad everything is - like he is enjoying it. I would not be surprised if he is in the pocket of Blackrock for a nice lucrative job once he is sacked or voted out of office.

Just a bit on Boris, relevant to the above, from what I've heard he had the requisite number of votes to run for the leadership again, but on this news 'the markets' reacted adversely, and Boris was advised he may as well pull out, because if he went ahead, 'the markets' would bring him down the same way they brought down Liz and Kwasi. So Boris, not being quite as daft as he looks, knew the game was up and duly pulled out, defeated not by Tory Party members, or Tory MPs or even Labour MPs, but by a force far more powerful than any British political party.

So who's behind 'the markets' then ?

We can do so much better sinkov but without the political will to do better we have tens of thousands of our children living in real poverty.

Thousands of innocent children are going hungry,

'Children not eligible for free school meals are coming to school with mouldy bread, empty wraps and in some cases nothing at all, according to teachers who told the Guardian they had never seen such desperation in the communities they serve.'

'The harrowing accounts of widespread hunger in classrooms......'

'One pupil brought in a cupful of left-over plain rice, and another brought nothing but a small tub of dry breakfast cereal.'

And this in a country that sends abroad around £12 BILLION annually in Foreign Aid. While children are starving here in the UK surely this cannot be right, but any proposal to reduce the amount of aid sent abroad and spend it here instead, on feeding our own children for instance, sends Lefty MPs and Grauniad hacks into meltdown. Why is this ? Is it just more Lefty virtue-signalling, and in reality they don't give a FF about our kids ?

Sometimes you just write rubbish mon ami. There are no left-wing Labour MP's anymore, Starmer has seen them all off and it is the Guardian who constantly try to bring up the real social problem of child poverty.

You have a history of denying real child poverty even exists in this country. I don't know what it is about supporters of the Toxic party who still want to privatise everything.

I would like it very much if Local Councils could take back control of the children who are "in care". Another of the Toxic party "hive off to our mates in the Private Sector rip-off scheme" was to privatise children in care costing local councils around £3700 per week, per child..

Is nothing sacred to the Toxic party, not even our kids.

With "charities" such as UNICEF and OXFAM and the constant stream of heart tugging adverts which must cost millions, I wonder why we actually need Foreign Aid at all. Perhaps it's because the "Charity" bigwigs are even more corrupt than members of our very own Toxic party and they leave very little left to actually divert to global kids in need.
