Coalition increase Unemployment and Borrowing
The
Conservative driven coalition has succeeded in beating the previous
Conservative governments’ statistics for unemployment.
And beaten the previous Conservative governments’
record
on debt.
Cond-Dems Smash Unemployment Record
The ConDems have increased unemployment by 118,000 during the three months period to November to 2.69 million, as stated by the Office of National Statistics. The highest figure ever since 1996.
Not really a record to be pleased with, except if you are Conservative.
Cameron duplicated his traditional speech he uses on these circumstances word for word; The Prime Minister, David Cameron, said the figures were not good news: "Any increase in unemployment is disappointing and obviously a tragedy for the person who becomes unemployed - that is why we are taking action to get people back to work".
We Are trying to Get People Working
Cameron smugly said that throughout the same time frame 18,000 people had found work. Against the extra 118,000 more people out of work, it is a pitiful record.
Youth unemployment went up again [where’s all these new apprentices?] to hit a new record of 1.043m, taking the rate for 16-24 year-olds to 22.3%.
"We're
taking action to try and get people returning to work" A weak and
demoralising announcement made by an arrogant politician who is trying
to bankrupt the country.

Storm in a Teacup.
There was a lot of fuss about Cameron saying NO to closer fiscal union for Britain in the EU. France sounded off with a barrage of insults and threats, but nobody took much notice, mainly because this is what the French do. Germany tried to cover it up by saying that Britain was still a close and valued member.
Cameron didn’t really have much choice, the British people would not have put up with interference in our fiscal policy, which was the subject of the conference.
Cameron did engineer the bust up to a certain extent. Normal policy in this type of situation is to liaise with the foreign office on an agreed strategy, which the foreign office would circulate to all EU members 7 to 10 days before hand, and try and get an agreement in principal.
Cameron left it until the middle of the night when all the members were tired, and in no mood for pandering to Cameron, when more important matters were at stake.
Clegg although agreed with Cameron prior to Cameron’s Brussels trip, Clegg has used the backlash to distance himself and his party from the decision, and has actively started to lay down the ground rules for campaigning for re-election.
You may remember it was the Lib Dems who drafted the University fees bill, and it is the Lib Dems who are negotiating with the unions over pensions and retirement ages, it would appear that if they could force a general election now, the Lib Dems would probably be wiped off the face of British politics. But they won’t do that, they value their jobs more than anything else.

Coalition Split: UK marginalized
Nick Clegg went on television and blasted Cameron’s efforts at the EU summit, saying “The UK was now isolated and marginalized, which would put jobs at risk”. He also said “the 26 members would gang up on the UK to impose the Financial Regulation Act”
Clegg had apparently agreed with David Cameron the stance he should take.
It looks as though Nick clegg has just woken up to the fact that his party is being used to wipe the floor. He appears to be taking this stance in order to position his party on the high ground, should the Lib Dems decide to split with the Conservatives and force another election
The Coalition was forecast to last only 2 years before it disintegrated,
maybe this is the start of the break-up of this coalition.

Smart Phone Apps Scams.
There have been many warnings over these, but this scam is difficult to detect until it is too late. This particular scam is rather nasty, as it can cost you hundreds if not thousands of pounds, and if you use your bank account via your smart phone, you might find your bank account has been compromised.
The Malware apps can be downloaded as security ware, or additions to apps already available, it is thought that some of these are also available on genuine download sites, as well as look alike sites.
Once installed on your phone any or all of the following is available to the fraudsters.

The Tory Conference
The Tory party conference has thankfully come to an end. It was a bit drab, and concentrated on trying to focus the party faithful.
David Cameron had to have his speech re-written at the last minute, the press releases created so much back lash, due to one tiny phrase.
It was a reference to the credit situation, where he said we must all reduce our debt, the government must do more, the banks need to reduce debt, and the general public SHOULD PAY OFF THEIR CREDIT CARDS AND STORE CARD DEBTS. This was changed due to the backlash after the press released this content; he did say instead ‘the public are paying off their credit and store card debts’ My colleague Vic Farron wrote in September “consumers were more cautious in borrowing through overdrafts, credit cards and loans. Repayments in August on unsecured loans exceeded unsecured borrowing by approximately £100m”
The conservatives implied that they didn’t know what to do next, they admitted what they had done in the past had failed, one of the things they blamed their failure on was the last recession, 2008/09 which they claimed was shorter and deeper than normal. I think that was a back handed compliment to the Labour party and George Brown, who rallied the world leaders into supporting their banks.
They didn’t actually say how long how they expected the cuts and hardship to go on for, the general consensus is at least 10 years. They have succeeded to stifle growth completed, the planned demolition of the health service has started, on TV it was announced that one practice in York had written to clients saying certain minor operation would not be funded by the NHS.They did say they would have to go private, and suggested 4 private clinics, the nearest private clinic was owned by the practice.
I was not the only person to sigh as the TV coverage of the conference finished, and ‘A Party Political Broadcast on behalf of the Conservative Party’ began. If you didn’t see it, you missed a masterpiece in P.R. and damage limitation.
There was a lot of talk in the Conservative party, and the country as a whole about the extra £3bn allocated to the overseas budget. I wrote an article on the subject, I must take my hat off to the people responsible for that broadcast, it did more good for conservatism, than the whole of the conference, the only thing wrong with it was – I didn’t write it.

Uni Fees in a mess
The NUS says Scotland is set to become the most expensive place in the UK to study for UK and EU students, with charges in some places of up to £36,000, compared with £27,000 in England, the reason being is that many degrees offered north of the border take four years to complete not three.
Scottish students residing in Scotland will not have to pay the fees. Fees only apply to students from other parts of the UK and the EU. Students from anywhere else in the world but the UK and the EU will have their fees paid by the Scottish government.
The Scottish government is seeking an end to rules where it has to pay the fees of students living in non UK or EU countries, which it says is costing the taxpayer £75m a year.
The legality of the fees plan has been questioned by the Scottish Conservatives and suggested it could stir up resentment in the rest of the UK against Scotland.

James Murdocks Evidence Refuted
James Murdock’s evidence given to the Culture committee has been refuted by two News International executives. Mr Murdoch told the culture committee he had not been "aware" of an email suggesting the practice went wider than a "rogue" News of the World reporter. Ex News International legal manager Tom Crone and ex News of the World editor Colin Myler both say they informed James Murdock about the email.
In a separate incident, the board of BSkyB is to meet to ask Rupert Murdock to stand down as chairman of the board. They stress this has nothing to do with his evidence, merely that under the circumstances they believe he will not have enough time to fulfil his duties as chairman.read the full article
