There Will Come A Time.

       A short video from Loam in Spain blog, a beautiful representation of European democracy. It could be any European country, the kettle is coming to the boil. The anger and disgust of the people for the political/corporate cabal that tries to rule over them, has turned to hatred, the smoldering is becoming a raging fire.

There Will Come A Time.

There will come a time when the hordes remember,

who bound our grand-parents to the yoke of oppression,

who sentenced our parents to deprivation,

who bid poverty sink its teeth into our heart,

who teach our children, greed is a noble art,

who sent our sons through the gates of hell

to a litany of cambist brawls,

crammed coffers with blood-stained gold

while laughing in Ares' halls.

"Who does these terrible things to us." they will ask,

and when they remember,

they'll bring an energy that is endless

to drive a fist that is fearless.

Then this merciless market-driven world will crumble

under an insurrection of integrity,

the poor will emerge from the dark husk of capitalism

to live in the light of social justice.

There will come a time when the hordes remember.

Bulgaria, 41 Days Of Protest.

       Bulgaria, one of Europe's poorest countries has had 41 days of mass protests, and yesterday, Tuesday 23 July, crowds surrounded the parliament building, trapping the members of parliament and their staff inside. Later riot police cleared a path to allow the MP's and staff to leave. Earlier on today the riot police cleared the mass protest from the front of the parliament building.     

      What is it that is bringing the Bulgarian people onto the streets? Surprise surprise, it's that same two faced beast we are all facing at the moment, austerity and corruption. Wake up people of Europe, all your parliaments are the same, forcing austerity down your throats to save their bankster friends in the financial Mafia, and all are oozing the stench of corruption. They all sit and legislate to legitimise the plundering of the public purse, every piece of legislation makes you poorer and their bankster friends richer. This is their only function, all they have to do is try to get it done with as little trouble from the people as possible. If that fails and the people rise up in anger and disgust, then the heavy hand of their state apparatus, police and riot police, will be given a free hand. Like I keep saying, every country in Europe is getting the same treatment, some more rapidly than others, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Bulgaria are well into the process, the other countries are following the same path, the pace is different. It will not stop until they get their sweatshop Europe, or the people put an end to this insane system of greed and exploitation by the few, at the expense of the many. What is a country if it is not its people?

ATOS Kills Again.

-->

       ATOS kills again. Elenore Tatton, aged 39, mum with three kids had suffered from a brain tumour most of her life. At the age of 15 Elenore had 80% of the tumour removed by surgery, her condition after the operation was put at somewhere between fine and severe brain damage. Elenore also suffered from epilepsy, and at times, without warning she would appear to just glaze over, it was random and without warning. Elenore had annual scans and had been unable to work and was on benefit for years. In spite of this catalogue of hardship and handicaps, and relating them to the mince heads at ATOS, they deemed her fit to start looking for employment. Before she could appeal this barbaric injustice Elenore became unwell and was admitted to hospital where a scan revealed that her condition was now terminal. Elenore died a few weeks later at St Columba's Hospice.

       How can this happen in what is supposed to be an advanced, rich, civilised country? Why do we tolerate the health and wellbeing of our most vulnerable being jeopardised by the dictates of the financial Mafia. ATOS is all about saving money, no matter the cost to the health of those affected. This is ideology running rampant over the lives of our vulnerable, sick and disabled.

        There will be a picket outside the ATOS offices in Cadogan Street on Friday 26 July from 12:30 – 14:30. All thos who are outraged at this crimial and brutal disregard for the well being of the vulnerable, please turn up and show support for Elenore Tatton, stand in solidarity with her family and friends. ATOS will kill again unless we the ordinary people stand together and close them down, bringing an end to this savagery against our people.

Twin Fangs Of The Serpent.

      Money and religion, a very dangerous cocktail, like the twin fangs of the serpent, they poison our world, they divide our brothers and sisters, they fester relationships.

A Benefit Compilation In Love & Solidarity With Kostas Sakkas

      After hearing what has happened to Kostas we have decided that a good, reliable and quick way to generate money is to put out a pay-what-you-want download compilation with all money going to Kostas and his 30,000 Euro bail charge.
        This project was put together with the help of our family at Riot Ska Records, between the two of us we have contacted countless bands, and collated a 50 track release and will release a further 50 bands next week (26/07/13) on Volume 2.
      This whole project from start to finish has taken 8 days, from the initial idea, to the final release
released 22 July 2013

Crooks In Suits.

      An interesting event is coming to Glasgow Green, Saturday August 3, at 11am onwards. An event packed with information regarding our Kremlin in George Square. A not to be missed event for all the family.
This from JC:

Crooks in suits.

      Need a crooked councillor? Well Glasgow’s the place for you!

     Glasgow City Council has swept crime from the streets – right into the Shitty Chambers at George Square!

       Glasgow has the best councillors money can buy. If you need a bevy license, or a bit of help with a dodgy land deal, you will always find a member of Labour’s Mafia willing to help – for a nominal fee of course!

     Remember, our Labour crooks have had almost fifty years experience of fleecing the Citizens of Glasgow. They can make a brown envelope stuffed with money disappear quicker than a fart in a fan factory.

      Knowing a good racket when they see it, many of them have turned their council crookery into a family business, with Ma, Pa the weans, and the family dug all in on the act. And of course with the forthcoming Commonwealth Games and the so called Clyde Gateway Development, oor sticky fingered cooncillors and their business pals have never had it so good.

        Not so long ago most of them were just corner boys who joined the Labour Party with a view to becoming a cooncil yes man content with getting a seat on the Gravy Train with the occasional junket or expenses fiddle thrown in, - but responding to increased opportunities, the craftiest among them have gone from being small time chiselers to white collar career criminals.

      The setting up of Arm’s Length organisations (Aleos), by the council, meant that Aleo Directorship’s could be dished out to Labour Party hacks. So a scheme that was supposed to save money, actually cost Glasgow’s taxpayers millions.

     While the Aleos made losses, the crooks that run them got richer. No prizes for guessing where the money has gone!

      Ronnie Saez, former chief executive of the Glasgow East Regeneration Agency pocketed a severance packet of £500,000 thanks to his pals in the council. The Scottish Charity Regulator said this was inappropriate and amounted to “misconduct in the administration”, - but they cannot force him to give the money back!

        Another famous council institution is the Labour Party Old Pals Club. The old pals club ensures that Labour Cooncilors and their goons, will be looked after by their cronies when their fingers have become too arthritic to steal any longer.

From the Daily Record 29 November 2011:

       EIGHT bosses at Glasgow City Council have been paid £738,000 in "golden goodbyes" while staff suffer a pay freeze.

      Three of them walked away with early retirement lump sums of more than £100,000.

      Chief solicitor Ian Drummond got £109,303 "compensation for loss of office" plus an annual £11,040 payment.

     Steve Inch, the council's "regeneration tsar", left with £109,279 plus a yearly sum of £11,032.

      Inch's assistant director, Jim Cunningham, walked away with £82,741 plus an annual sum of £7853.

     Wendy O'Donnell, an area education manager for south-west Glasgow, got £70,297 and £6935 a year.

      Dawn Corbett, who was head of corporate policy, left with £48,044 and a £6571 annual payment.

      Fergus Chambers, head of care and catering firm Cordia, got a £101,662 exit payment plus annual compensation of £11,032.

      Disgraced chief executive Steven Purcell set up Cordia and other publicly owned companies to provide council services during his reign.

     The Labour Mafia have been getting away with robbing the citizens of Glasgow for decades, but the level of crime and corruption has now reached epidemic proportions.

      Glasgow’s crooked councillors make Al Capone look like a bungling amateur, but despite this it would seem that the media and the Police are deaf, dumb and blind to their shenanigans.

         When is something going to be done about this?

      Why doesn’t the Scottish Parliament order an enquiry into the business dealings and personal finances of Labour Councillors?

       While everyone else is struggling to survive these parasites are living it up, and sucking the life blood out of Glasgow.

Come and show them we are on to their crookery!

        Join together on Glasgow Green at the People’s Palace on Saturday 3^rd August at 11.00am to hang out the Council’s Dirty Laundry for all to see!

       Bring along your own sheet with your own slogan.

Let’s make Glasgow City Council’s dirty going- on’s the talk of the steamie!

(Disclaimer: Not all Labour councillors are crooked of course, - only 98% of them!)
