As the Australian Right-of-centre Liberal party stares down the barrel of another election defeat, it's further proof, says Professor James Allan, that there are no prizes for conservatives who kowtow to the Left.

The WHO?s Pandemic Treaty Consolidates the Pandemic Preparedness Scam Sat Apr 26, 2025 09:00 | Dr David Bell
The WHO's new Pandemic Agreement, set to be agreed next month, consolidates the pandemic preparedness scam, says Dr David Bell. Built on a heap of falsehoods about the true health risks humanity faces, it must be rejected.

On the day that David Cameron's Tory - Lib Dem coalition government are going to announce major attacks on working class people in Britain and Northern Ireland, Mitchel McLaughlin has stated that Sinn Fein will be introducing cuts on services for pensioners.
On Radio Ulster today, Sinn Fein MLA, Mitchel McLaughlin said that the Northern Ireland Executive (Coalition between Sinn Fein and the DUP), will be cutting free prescriptions and free travel for pensioners as part of the £500 million cuts they will be implementing.
The pensioners in the South rose up against the Fianna Fail - Green coalitions attempt to scrap the medical cards for over 70s. Sinn Fein condemned the government for this attack and participated in protests against it.
In the South Sinn Fein put on a left face but in the North their true colours are exposed by their actions in the Assembly Executive. Now Sinn Fein and the DUP are going to attack the pensioners and the most vulnerable in society. Shame on them. Hopefully the pensioners in the North will follow the example of their Southerner counterparts and rise up against these attacks.
The pundits are saying its a *good* budget -
Personally I don't think a Tory budget could ever be a good budget. Here's Deloitte, what interests
me is that there are no means tests, just a freeze on Child Benefit, which leaves vulnerables rolling
in the wind in the event of an upturn (ask Darling about Northern Rock) and that disabled people
will have to undergo medical tests to validate their claims !
Now the NHS has been at critical level for a while, whilst New Labour did much the same in terms
of structural underfunding as our Lovely Greens/PDs/FF did- thus the medical tests appear to be
Osborne's version of a red herring , Mc Creevy did the same thing when he pushed for his messy
decentralisation programmes at the height of the tiger and everyone knows what a fck up that was.
Here's the Deloitte report : http://www.ukbudget.com/EmergencyBudget/index.cfm
In the meantime News analysis is saying that the Scots ain't happy and the MSM is running
about collating Data, it is both the fiscal and psychological effect of a negative budget that
creates the imperatives, rather than the news headlines. Mr Osborne is further destabilising
the NHS and telling disabled people that he doesn't trust them !! I reckon its the first sally
and that future budgets will increase in social degeneration whilst aiding (as is usual) big
business : a five year plan .
I almost spelt the Conservative/Democratic alliance wrongly (ConDoms), afterall the pretend
lefty New Labour government refers to them in fig-leaf terms and its easy enough to slip up.
Harriet Harmon ain't happy ; but her government *had* 13 years to provide for a people
in terms of infrastructure and investment- guess what, they gambled and played with
nasty toys like Biometrics, scanners and war :
