Coalition Split?

Coalition Split?

The Conservatives have started to open the split between themselves and the Lib-Dems . Vince Cable the Business Secretary announced plans for a ‘Graduate tax’ for university students; this was later overruled by the Tories who preferred students to pay the Universities Direct. Tory ministers are said to prefer a system where some graduates pay more, generating more places for the rich and the overseas students, depriving working class students of places . Labour called this ‘shambolic’

The Conservatives distanced themselves from the Lib Dems after Nick Cleggs’ firs t , and probably last, P.M.s question time, when he said the Iraq war was illegal. Many Tories who voted for the Iraq war took it as a personal attack on them.

David Cameron belittled Britain , the country he is supposed to promote, when he told the Americans that Britain was a junior partner to America in 1940 in the war against Germany. In fact the Americans weren’t interested in helping Britain in 1940, It wasn’t until 1941 after Pearl Harbour was bombed, that the Americans joined.

I will apologise to the British Public on behalf of David Cameron who can’t remember the tremendous sacrifices the British people made during that terrible war, or even when they made them. The British people fought for the freedom of this country and others, most of whom are grateful, and wouldn’t dream of belittling what their ancestors did for Britain. Cameron may not respect the memories of those who died in order that we might live in a free country, with freedom of speech, but the British people respect those memories with pride.

In a recent poll carried out for Newsnight 42% of Lib-Dem voters would not have voted for their party if they had known they would be part of a coalition. On the Conservative side only 14% said they would not have voted for their party if they had known of their leader’s intention to form a coalition.

60% of Tory voters felt their party had been weakened by the coalition with the Lib-Dems: They felt they no longer knew what their party stood for.

53% of the Lib-Dems felt their party had been weakened by the coalition with the Tories.

Lord Ashdown, when interviewed on Newsnight, suggested he would like to see the government "make haste a bit more slowly" and that it was sometimes wiser to test new policies out in pilot schemes before making decisions.

Sir Alan budds resignation

Sir Alan Budd the head of the OBR [Office of Budget Responsibility] is to step down in the summer. It is reported that he had said in private that he intended to resign after the first set of reports were completed. No successor has yet been found although the coalition has now started to advertising for one. With the government having 3 months notice of his intention to resign, it would have been logical they would have attempted and succeeded in finding a replacement, prior to Sir Alan Budd’s  intention to step down was made public.

" His announcement comes after the treasury leaked information to the press regarding the unemployment figures, and after it was discovered that David Cameron had been passed the “up to date” unemployment figures 2 minutes before he announced them in parliament, hoping to wrong-foot the opposition who didn’t have these figures. Sir Alan brought forward the publication of the data following an earlier leak to a newspaper, but told the Treasury select committee this week that Mr Cameron's use of the figures was "not appropriate”.

This was the catalyst which prompted the feeling that the OBR had lost its creditability. Bearing in mind that the OBR works out of the treasury, and uses treasury staff, it did lend weight to this theory, especially when you consider the treasury sat in on the coalition talks and advised the coalition, when it was only supposed to advise the government, which at that time was the Labour Party.  Add to that, the disclosure this week that when the press and public tried to contact the OBR by telephone, the treasury intercepted and answered those calls .

Sir Alan said "However, the fact that we were operating in the Treasury and relying on official resources has raised doubts about our independence in some quarters,"

If you thought the recession was bad – think again there is a lot more hardship to come.

Google Squeezes the Sqeeze Page

Google are penalising web sites with ‘Squeeze pages’. Squeeze pages were and still are to some web sites the holy grail for collecting email addresses. These are the short pages that give you a taster of what is to come, provided you leave your name and email address.

Many people are put off by these, me included. I subscribe to one of the biggest mailing list in the world, giving me information about everything that is new on the web. The weekly email I receive has articles written by their own writers, and experts in other fields. The email gives you a short paragraph, from which you decide to read the full article or skip it. If you decide to read the article you are taken to a ‘squeeze’ page which gives you a little more information, then you part with your name and email address to read the rest. [The extra information was there to fool the search engines into thinking this was fresh information] The only problem with that is that you are now on the sites email list. The big problem is when you get 5 or 6 identical emails on the same day from the same site, you have to start unsubscribing from all but one of them.

Google index every word on our website, as well as most others, so they know when information is being duplicated, and are now penalizing web sites for this.  They also know when other sites are stealing material, and calling it their own work.

Was The Recession Hard on You?

  You might have thought the recession was quite hard, think again. There is a lot more to come, with companies following the government’s lead of Slash and Burn. Already a lot of supermarkets have put up their prices as they did in the recession. The fear of customers spending less has prompted price increases to generate extra profits. Fuel has gone up since the Emergency Budget, which will further increase prices.

600,000 public sector jobs are to go under the Coalition, some of these jobs will be filled by recruiting new, lower grade staff, and promoting them more slowly. At the same time it is expected increase of 2.5million extra jobs being created, with 1.95 million in the Private Sector. According to Channel 4 News   A leaked Treasury document today suggested 1.3 million jobs will be lost as a result of the budget, by 2014/15. The Office of National Statistics showed an increase in the jobless total of 281,000 in the last 3 months, giving a total figure of people out of work at 2.38 million

Research by the Oxford Economics consultancy this month shows that 2.3m private sector jobs were dependent on state contracts in areas like IT, defence and hospitals. As public spending falls, those employees are in jeopardy.

Harriet Harmen the acting labour Leader attacked David Cameron over the leaked Treasury Document Cameron later said: "You don't seem to understand. Unemployment is going to be falling during this Parliament. We've published the full figures. But it's not now us publishing the figures. It's the OBR ."[I think that’s called Passing the Buck]”

The head of the OBR, [Office of Budget Responsibility] Sir Alan Budd is to step down to enjoy his retirement, Reuters reported . [I suspect there will be more to come on this story]

We could be following in Ireland’s footsteps as they introduced their Austerity Package, with high inflation and 25% unemployed in Ireland, record house repossessions, and many companies struggling to fight off bankruptcy. And we still have the possibility of the debt crisis in the Euro Zone countries impacting on our economy, and our banking system.

As I said, “You might have thought the recession was quite hard, think again.”

80 Million Twitter Users

  My last post was an invitation to the first 1000 people who registered for the free course Success is Now Here.

The course explains how to exploit the enormous potential of 80 mill twitter users, with a modest start of 20 income streams. The course gives you all the information FREE, “ none of this” it will normally cost $999, but today you can have it for $549, or at a special price of $299. It genuinely is FREE

Over the weekend I will upload the page outlining the course, how to produce several income streams, by tapping into this enormous market. All on AUTO-PILOT

Whether you are already on twitter, or not: this will blow your mind when you see the potential. In the meantime read the last post ‘SUCCESSISNOWHERE’  :: http://bit.ly/93UaAQ

Successisnowhere

How would you interpret the title?

If you interpreted it as Success Is Now Here, that would indicate you are not prepared to let the present economic climate dampen your entrepreneurial skills, or your inability to acquire these skills. The next few years will be a challenge to some, and a stimulus to others, and a disaster to others, whether we dip into recession, or just bounce along above it.

It will be the incentive for the successful to increase their market share, or the time to acquire additional income streams, as the recession was the catalyst for many to expand; the following years will be the time to build on that success.

As one door closes, another one opens.

 If you interpreted it as Success Is Nowhere, it could be a hard time over the next few years for you. What you need is P.M.A. [Positive Mental Attitude]

P.M.A. is the motivational force behind any successful venture. If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will believe in you.

You can be successful , therefore you will be successful.

You are now sat in front of probably the world’s most important money making tool: your computer.

Over the next few months I will introduce you to some of the best  Read the full article
