The Loyal Opposition

Mr Miliband explains what he's going to do for you

...and he appeared from a pink mist in our hour of need.

In a daring intellectual paradigm shift, Red Ed Miliband expounded his view that the workshy layabouts cluttering our big society are the single most important threat to our way of life.

Not the concentration of financial power, mercantile war or the alarming epidemic of male lesbians.

The unemployed, that's your problem, pal.

The insight,apparently, is that if you humiliate and harrass them enough, then they will all find jobs. Their anguish will transubstantiate into the purest gainful employment.

Bold thinking indeed.

It is this sort of bravery which gains the admiration of the London Guardian, the Policy Exchange Cabal and the dessicated, life hating ascetic Frank Field.

After all, and despite his best efforts, opinion polls are still showing support for his party.

This cannot stand.

If people expect government to work on their behalf, then they are obviously living in the past.

A modern leadership cannot serve two masters.

He must extinguish all hope, to better allow the government's work to mercilessly progress.

Work that he, or someone exactly like him, might someday be permitted to continue.

Watched over by rulers of plutocratic grace.

What a fucking cunt.

Of course, these subsidies, grants and such, aren't in the crosshairs because the people who receive this dole are proper working class folk; it isn't as though they own acres and acres of land an' that.

Beautiful.

A chauffeur generally deals with wealthy people, with a high standard of service being expected at all times. Politeness is key, because wealthy people command respect. The chauffeur has to be swift when it comes to opening the vehicle door on behalf of their passenger, and a ‘speak when spoken to’ attitude must be employed at all times.

It can be difficult at times because the respect that a chauffeur gives is seldom returned. This is part and parcel of the job, and so it is important that a chauffeur does not take it to heart when their passenger is abrupt and rude. This is something that goes with the territory, and a good chauffeur is always able to take it with a pinch of salt

.....One of the downsides to being a chauffeur is that they don’t earn a great deal of money, in terms of a set wage. A regular chauffeur who is employed by an agency can expect to earn between £13,000 and £20,000 a year;

however, chauffeurs often get big tips from the wealthy clients that they drive around, so there is a great deal of money to be made on top of the basic wage


Its all out there, if you've got the balls to go for it.

"Of course, these subsidies, grants and such, aren't in the crosshairs..."

ah, one of my favourite subjects - 90% of the surface area of the country being charged no tax at all and drawing lots of lovely subsidies combined with a land registry system that excludes inherited property

on the plus side the beneficiaries aren't so much the owners of all that dirt and wealth, more like custodians safeguarding the national heritage for future generations, their future generations

Sounds like all that land belongs to the taxpayer.

You don't get anywhere in the mortal world if you're not one!

"combined with a land registry system that excludes inherited property"

I'm familiar with Kevin Cahill's, Who Owns Britain and the Land Registration Act 2002; the former giving an historical account (to date) of land ownership, the latter showing how the registration is enforced (for us not them).

However, I wasn't familiar with the Rural Land Register,

"As part of the administration of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) schemes, the RPA [Rural Payments Agency] has built a Rural Land Register (RLR) which holds details of all registered land parcels in a digital format. This is based on Ordnance Survey information, supplemented by information gathered from farmers and land owners; from physical and remote sensing activity; and through anomalies found during claim processing."

The question is ... is this register available for public scrutiny?

Will contact them and report back (either here or as a blog post).

They're on about starting to build huts in the depopulated forests of Scotland. At the moment the planning regulations won't allow you to sleep in a hut even if you build one and have a deed to the land.

What sense is that with all the homeless?

Stef said...

"The question is ... is this register available for public scrutiny?"

I suspect that might just prove to be a rhetorical question

Stef said...

"the planning regulations won't allow you to sleep in a hut even if you build one and have a deed to the land."

Perfectly understandable, given the amount of inconvenience and expense the land-owners suffered in depopulating that land in the first place

Glad those days are over

more detail

"I suspect that might just prove to be a rhetorical question"

Email asking for details sent, in the meantime I found a page of CAP Payments 2010 which has,

"EC legislation requires each member State to publish details of recipients of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments and to update this once each year before 30 April. Defra has done this on one website which covers recipients paid by RPA, as well as those paid by paying agencies in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland."

I got the impression that this gave clear details with postcodes and financial amounts.

Unfortunately, when following the given link we are stymied by a 'recent European Court of Justice ruling'

"The ECJ judgement concluded that the requirement to publish data for individual beneficiaries (natural persons) exceeded the limits imposed by the principle of proportionality."

But does this mean 'unnatural persons' ie companies?

Will chase up and report back.

(In the meantime does anyone know if these figures were scraped and posted on some archive before deletion?)
