An article which once again, points out the deficiencies in some ‘Green’ ideas. Biofuels are seen as a clean answer to our energy needs, especially for fuel for cars. In order, that we in the Global North, can continue in our wasteful consumption. Some of the article below, may be considered, an exaggeration, but we are once again raping and pillaging the Global South, so as to ensure we maintain our comfortable life-styles.

Amid stiff opposition, Israel occupation profiteer Veolia abandons big London waste bid in final stage
Student at Manchester Metropolitan University should continue there fight to have MMU cancel their contract with Veolia. Failing that, it is time students started boycotting Manchester Metropolitan University. Not only for their employment of Veolia but also because of the way they have treated the people of Hulme. John Brooks the vice-chancellor, conducted secret deals with Manchester City Council, to build a campus on Birley Fields. This is totally unacceptable behaviour from a Higher Education establishment which boast it serves the community. It does not, it even tells it’s students, even those live in hall of residence in Hulme, not to go into Hulme. They claim to be building a green campus when they have felled scores of trees and want to fell another 50. And their energy plant is to be powered by natural gas, a finite resource, imported and emits CO2. How is this green?
The continuing sad story of the Britain returning to the ‘Dark Days’ of the Industrial Revolution, where workers found their wages continually cut. Plunging even working families into dire poverty, welcome to 21st Century Britain and the end of a National Health Service. What is also sad, despite Miliband’s rhetoric, is that Labour will not vote against the Benefits Bill. Ed Miliband to wage war on George Osborne’s welfare.
‘Senior Labour figures stopped short of confirming that Labour would vote against the cuts in the Commons in January. But it is understood that unless fundamental changes are made to the coming welfare uprating bill, Miliband will be prepared to give the order.
One senior Labour figure said there were still tensions inside the party, with a caucus of “new Labour” figures believing it will be politically suicidal to leave the party open to charges that it sides with “scroungers” and is in denial over the need to cut the benefits bill’.
Another journalist summed up the situation as Osborne’s war on the poor and the vile stupidity of his workers-vs-shirkers narrative. Unfortunately as the Guardian hints at, there are millionaire members in the Labour Party who believe in this same rhetoric. That is why people need to realise they have to vote, to rid us of these two obscene political parties.
I’ve spent the last few days looking through the oral testimony given to the Commons Health Select Committee on 13 November, as well as through the lengthy written testimony given to the committee ahead of the hearing by various organisations, on ‘public expenditure’ – basically the state of NHS finances and the progress toward achieving the ‘Nicholson Challenge’ of £20 billion in savings over the period from 2011-2015.
I was initially drawn to this evidentiary session because, among the witnesses, was Tony Spotswood – the CEO of Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch NHS Trust. Spotswood, as revealed in an email exchange I was able to publish for the first time recently, discussed a ‘coup’ plan to bring down the ‘NHS Employers’ organisation (NHSE) with Chris Bown, CEO of the neighbouring Poole NHS Trust.
NHSE is responsible for national negotiations with unions on the pay and conditions of the UK’s 1.7 million…

An army of benefit scroungers? The evidence just doesn’t stack up | Matt Barnes | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
The working-class, not the scroungers, the media and politicians try and portray them as. These people have been failed by successive Governments, Labour and Conservatives who have pushed a broken economic model, based on ‘growth at any cost’. They have allowed multi-nationals to strip this country of almost everything, whilst lining their enormous pockets. In the meantime, the ordinary people have suffered along with the environment.

The views of SKWalker 1964, on the lack of ‘Duty of Care’ by the DWP
IF SKWalker is right, and the DWP (Department for Works and Pensions), a Social Impact Assessment was never carried out on the affects of changes to disability benefits. It would appear then, that they have failed in their ‘Duty of Care’ and in my opinion, may have contravene Government legislation; The Equality Act 2010.
Both the last Labour Government and this Government have done nothing to bring the criminals involved in numerous Banking illegalities to justice. Stating, all sorts of nonsense, why it was not possible to bring criminal charges. And instead both the last Labour Government and this Conservative Governments have poured money into a corrupt banking system. Max Kaiser and Stacy Herbert cover some of these illegal activities carried out by Financial Institutions causing abject poverty on millions of people.
And yet, those who are unfortunate and who which to have a basic standard of living, those of us who are fortunate enough enjoy, Equality. But both Labour and Conservatives Governments and Local Governments, have done their best to demonize the unfortunate.

An article which puts the case, well, that the Israelis are bent on supremacy and war with it’s neighbour. No doubt sure, they will receive the backing of the US.
