They don't know what to do!

We are now about 18 months into this coalition government and the simple question has to be asked, are they doing a good job? I believe they are not, for these reasons.

Things are not getting any better; you could say things are not getting any worse, but that does not mean they are doing a good job. I know that Labour left this country in a complete mess; I have to be honest, I truly think the last government under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown was probably one of the worse governments to ever run Britain. They made a complete mess of things and blamed everyone but themselves. They wasted billions of pounds on failed projects -£12.7 billion on a computer system for the NHS which has now been scrapped and £500 million and rising on Regional fire controls for the fire service. These are just two of many examples of politicians arrogance, ignorance and vanity; they decided on these projects without proper consultation, and when they were clearly not working they continued regardless.

This government are no better, they carry on with their projects and continue to waste money just so it makes them look good. One of these things is overseas aid; now you could argue that giving money to those who are in need is good, I cannot argue with that. You could say that we are a rich country and in some way have an obligation to help those who are less fortunate than us, I can see that reasoning.

Britain, this year will spend more than £8 billion on overseas aid, and that is going to increase to about £11 billion by 2015.

But the reason I am against foreign aid is because a massive percentage is wasted and actually goes to propping up ruthless and tyrannical regimes. The governments own Independent Commission on Aid Impact has stated that 27 per cent of aid goes directly to corrupt or tyrannical regimes - to spend as they seem fit.

There is evidence that much aid money is being misused. The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee has stated that last year about £1 billion of UK aid has been involved in fraud. Imran Khan, the former Pakistani cricketer has blamed aid for making his country's endemic corruption far worse.

This country is struggling, unemployment has now risen to 2.57 million, the private sector is getting smaller - 20,000 private companies have gone to the wall since May 2010. We are hemorrhaging work to other countries, we are giving £20 billion a year to the EU for no discernible benefit. The bank of England has just printed another £75 billion to put into the economy, this seems to me that they just don't know what to do. And we continue to hand £300 million in aid to the likes of India, which spent £1.5 billion on its nuclear program last year and continues to see growth in its economy. This seems completely bonkers.

The government are trying to do something, but in reality do not know what to do. The reason I believe they do not know what to do is simply because they have never run their own businesses, and many ministers have done nothing else except be involved in politics. They do not really understand what it is like for many businesses at this moment. I know some people who run their businesses and they state that things are very difficult at the moment. But the government, with the help of the EU are doing nothing to stimulate business, they continue to pile one piece of regulation on top of another, thus stifling growth.

I have mentioned before about Bombardier - the train manufacturer, and how they lost out to German company to build trains and carriages for this country. This highlights the complete lack of understanding and arrogance of our politicians.

I honestly believe we are in for an almighty financial crash. Today's jobless figures show that things are continuing to get worse. Britain's jobless total now stands at 2.57 million, a rise of 117,000 between June and August. I do believe if something radical isn't done we are going to sink under our immense debt.

I know my postings are generally quite negative, but the reason for this is, I sit and watch day after day how our leaders make one bad decision after another. They do not seem to know what to do, they are so far removed from the reality of everyday life. They carry on in the vain hope that something is going to happen, but do nothing to help. The EU leaders keep pumping more and more money into the euro, but it is not working. The EU parliament have just voted for a 4.9 per cent increase for their budget, and no-one is shouting about this.

They hamper business with more regulation, hand billions to corrupt regimes, they cannot stop the tide of mass immigration (I don't think they would do anything about it if they could). They have watched as our manufacturing disappears and do nothing to stop it. Why is it that every other country which makes things is continuing to see growth and we are not? Is it not obvious to these complete IDIOTS that what they are doing is just not working.

Everyone I speak to says we should start making things again, and change our focus from the service sector back to manufacturing. It's working for China, India, Brazil, etc, I am sure it would work for us as well. But don't you worry I am sure this lot will carry on regardless and drag us down deeper and deeper into debt. Just remember this when your pension disappears and your savings are worthless; David Cameron George Osborne and the rest of this bunch of complete incompetent, supercilious, self righteous cocks will be alright.

If you don't think this is true just look at David Cameron's hero Tony Blair and how much he has made since leaving parliament. You can be assured David and his friends will be okay.
