Benefits & Europe Require A Global Passport

We know now a raft of people who abuse the benefits system by owning foreign assets, but don't declare them when applying for housing or income support in the UK. These assets give them income but they still get the full support of the state.
 
While, we have no foreign assets, earn just the income from our job here and have no access to any benefits. It seems the UK does not look after its own but looks after the interests of foreign persons or businesses.
 

Wikileaks

On the 23rd May, I am running a BCS (British Computer Society) forum/seminar in London in the evening 6pm for a couple of hours. The capacity of the meeting will be 150 people - and I suspect it will be packed out.
 
I have invited David Leigh, the Guardian journalist who is also professor of reporting and journalism at City University. He was instrumental in providing a conduit for the main press through the Guardian and the New York Times. He has recently published a book on Wikileaks through the Guardian.
 

Sportsmanship

Just what was going on? England were dis-allowed an obvious goal. What did the Germans do? Did they just ignore everything and carry on? Yes. Well they missed an opportunity.

Soaking Up Unemployment

It seemed that New Labour fooled everyone. In the last 13 years they have DOUBLED the number of civil servants. By having a huge number of civil servants it has made public service a facet of banana republic: there are very few real large businesses running in the UK anymore and Labour has soaked up the labour pools into public service.
 
The cost is that it has hidden the lamentable performance of the UK in terms of real value added employment. Employment issues have been hidden all this time and will about to be revealed.
