Cameron's Plan To Win The Next Election.

David Cameron has watched the US Presidential election with great interest and has drawn some very profound conclusions about his own electoral prospects. Barak Obama has done all that he can to support and stimulate the US economy, he's put his neck on the block to champion the cause of poor Americans and created a healthcare system that most commentators regarded as impossible. In Britain Cameron has done everything he can to suck demand out of the economy, has vilified and persecuted the poor, the disabled and the unemployed and has done his level best to destroy the best healthcare system in the world. Today he has announced that Obama's victory lights the way towards a Tory victory in 2015. "I even noticed in his [Obama's] Tweet he said 'We're all in this together' so there's some commonality," he tells us without a trace of irony. The difference is that Obama means it whereas, for Cameron, its simply a slogan - cheap words devoid of any reality. While Obama stood against the Republican's wish to lower taxes for the rich, Cameron has no other policy but tax cuts for the rich. Obama is seeking to inspire his people while Cameron is seeking to mislead his. So what can we expect from Cameron in the run-up to the General election in 2015? Lies, pure and simple. Like his pledge that "the NHS is safe in our hands" and "there will be no top down reform of the NHS", he will speak the words but will do the exact opposite as soon as he gets a majority. He'll take Obama's words, use them to his own advantage and twist them beyond all recognition. Be warned - this man intends to do you severe harm, he's Mitt Romney trying to disguise himself as Barak Obama.

Mitt Romney Lets The Neoliberal Cat Out Of The Bag.

Mitt Romney, a man with more teeth than brain cells, has been caught out telling his Republican mates that almost half off all US citizens are of no interest to him. According to this flagbearer for the utter greed and selfishness of neoliberalism, the people who support Barak Obama "believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it". Having castigated ordinary people for expecting their own government to act in their best interests he added "My job is is not to worry about those people." In effect he was saying that he has an overriding loyalty to something outside of the United States - international big business, which makes him rich and insulates him from the concerns of the peasants. Seeking to distance himself from the embarassing truth about him and his corporate paymasters his lame excuse was that what he had said was "not elegantly stated." Yes it was - his words summed exactly how people like him, on both sides of the Atlantic, think about those whose vote they want to obtain by deception. Their favourite line is that they aren't really as nasty as our previous experience of them would suggest - that they have "detoxified" their party - that they want to be "inclusive". The truth is they are elitist, selfish, smug and deeply, deeply vicious when it comes to their treatment of people less fortunate than themselves. They love to pat each other on the back and congratulate themselves for being geniuses and tell each other that their success in life has nothing to do with the priveleges they inherited - behind closed doors of course. In fact they are the scum of the earth and the electorate vote for them at their peril.

Liam Fox Advising Mitt Romney On Destroying US Economy.

While David Cameron ponders which of his favourite conmen, theieves and liars he can sneak back into government in his cabinet reshuffle, Liam Fox, it seems, never really went away. Flag bearer for the sleazy right in the Tory party, Dr.Fox has been very busy cementing ties between his party and the Republican party in the US. He has been "advising" Mitt Romney on how the Prseidential candidate might wreck the American economy as the Tories have wrecked that in Britain while, at the same time, forcing the poor to pick up the bill. "We have much in common," Dr.Fox told our reporter. "Both parties are very keen Atlanticists and yearn for the good old days when Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Regan sold the neoliberal economic thesis to the peasants. We now have a valuable opportunity to turn the present recession into a full-blown depression with all the advantages that brings to people like us. We're already working on new wars that offer outstanding opportunities for profit and our American colleagues are very interested in plundering a privatised NHS. I know that Mitt has some rather strange ideas about abortion, religion and healthcare but, then again, so do I. The main thing is that both parties agree that poor people are to blame for everything and that creating more poor people will cure all our economic woes. Between us I believe we can create a world fit for bankers to live in."
