Israel / Palestine

We all remember the 2nd world war many of us lost family, now if I have got this right Germans where doing there best to take over the world, while the Nazis where cleansing the population of Europe anyone who did not fit in, they did this by rounding up Jewish, gay, black people and anyone else that did not meet there criteria of white and blond hair, they did all this a cross Europe and sent them first to hard labour camps and then to extermination camps.    

The Jewish people have through out history been persecuted and the world has stud up for them and has acknowledged this, and yet they are behaving just as bad in the way they are treating the people of Palestine, is no better by restricting aid to them and not willing to excpect them, to me makes them just as bad as the Nazis in he 2nd world war.


And you do not see the gay or others elements of the communitys going on about what the Nazis did to them in the Second World War, I know that what happened to them was a horrific, but they ware not the only ones but we all need to understand that while the Holocaust did happon, it was not just them all thoe it was targeted at them first it then went on to the others as a bove.

When is Israel going stop persecuting the Palestine’s and let them live where there are, like wise the Palestine’s should stop attacking Israel, we all have only one life and yet some are so willing to throw it all away over a patch of land.

Worse still the Country's who could make the difference prefer to let it go on and why you ask, may be something to do with selling of arms to Israel and probably to the Palestine, lets face it companies who make military hardware are not going to make a profit by selling just selling to there own governments are they, so what do they do they sell to one side throw there own governments, who then sell to both sides to keep a war going, so they can make more profit.

And even sell there old equipment so they can buy new and keep a head of them, and at the end of the day war dose truly make money for the governments, the only time it dose not is when they put there own men on the ground to fight.

Sky Television

Sky Television

And the need for better regulation and laws to protect the end user and let them pick what channels they want to see and pay for them with in the current price packages and not forced to pay more. 

I often wonder if Sky is regulated at all as the way it dose business is not in favour of the user, ever since they started they decide what the packages must content in the way of channels.

And quite often you find that the basic package dose not have the channels you want to see so you have to up grade to get them, only latter on to have them removed from the package.

Also if you have sky you will be aware of the fact that not only they do not seem to be regulated properly if at all but the channels that they broadcast do not seem to be ever.

Channels repeat same films and programs all the time and in the case of films just pass them along between each over and some times you have the same film on two or more channels at the same time.

They also change programming times with at saying, remove them with out warning and when showing programs again they show out of sequence like season 4 episode  10 one day and they next episode 14 so missing episodes out.

Cannels that are the worst at what they offer to you, Warner Bros always showing friends up to 6 times a day, two and half men, Fox is Simpson , Modern family, SCI-FI, Deep Space Nine,  Star Trek Next Generation, but never Star Trek classic, Dr who, Babylon Five, and many over SCI-FI programs, but fill the gap with crape,
FX Star gate, Impostors, also AXN Criminal Minds in one afternoon Season 4 episode 5 Sea 5 episode 24, Sea 4 episode 1, Sea 5 episode 1 all over the place And I could go one but you know what I mean.

And they do this in pairs all day so it shows that they are not regulated by Sky or anyone else for that matter, and for what we have to pay for them they should be and be providing a better service to us all, and some channels show timing for a film yet its not on at that time, also they do not give info like which season or episode is on so it makes it hard to follow what’s going on.

And finally all channels should be sold individually so we can chose the ones that we want to see, not the ones that they want to have and we pay for so if your deal has 100 channels, and cost you £50.00 then you should have right to pick your channels up to that number from every thing that is shown on Sky no matter where you are in the world, and the open ones that are free to be so and on top off the 100 you pick.

I understand that the Sky pay preview channel that they have now remain as they are but not add other ones that have never been pay preview to stop customers from having what they what to see.

So when are the Inter National Courts or the world Governments going to make this law and Regulate Sky properly so we can get a fair deal? 

After all they have been allowed to get away with this for fare to long and being aloud to keep buying up all the sport so you have to pay to see you favourite sport, this should be with all broadcasters around the world and not just SKY.

Condems and there daft cuts

CONDEMs

Is not funny how when it comes to the government trying to cut the huge debt, that they first cut public service which affect you the tax payer, and putting up in direct tax’s.

We all know why we have a big debt problem its because the government over the last 11yrs, with Gordon Brown how would not raise income tax by a penny because this would be seen as a bad move with the voters, but the best one was lets sell half our gold stock for next to nothing to plug the holes left by miss management of the economy and pay rises for the MPs.

So what happens he puts up national insurance tax up which not every one pays, but the employer gets hit the hardest, then they put up your income tax so you get done again.

And they tell all off us to live on less while they up the vat on food, petrol, house tax, in fact everything expect income tax, the MPs still tack there big pay rise fatting there pockets, on top off this they claim extra well over and above the norm that you would expect.

If the governments had just put income tax one penny each year and they had taken a small pay rise and stopped flying upper class every where then we would not have the big debt there is now.

And correct if I am wrong the lib demes always said if they got in to government they would put up income tax because it’s the fairer of raising money need to pay debt and proved the service that we need.

And what do they now hey have the chance to do this nothing they levee it alone and make huge cuts and rise all the over tax to make the poor worse off yet again, why are our MPs so two faced when in power.     

This they do not call fraud which it is quite clear they are clamming for things they do not have or should not clamming for maids, dog walkers, and so on, and what do they get a slap on the wrist and told do not do it again.

Yet if you are claiming a benefit and you for get or do not tell them that you have moved this is fraud and you can go to prison for this our find and even both, so you are claming something that you are entitled to medically move and do not tell well duck I say, and is not so two faced of the government to let this happen to the sick. 

The goverment have put VAT my my what will they do next, they will no not stop filying frist class, PM will still use the Royal Flight which they took away from the Queen because of cost, they will not cut pay or take a pay block.

And they will keep spending your Taxs on thems yust like they always do you see if Grodon Brown had put income Tax at the differant leveals then the Nationl Dete would be a lot lower. You see while you have a goverment that dose care about you the People our the Queen, the UK will not benefit from this at all.

Mexico and the USA drugs

Mexico / USA and
Drugs


For years now there has been a problem with drugs smuggling in to the USA from Mexico, and yet they have not been able to stop this after decades of trafficking, and the Mexicans can not even keep control in there own country. 

What I have never under stood is if the Chinese Emporia could build a huge wall centres ago to protect his county from in evaders, and that the Roman Emporia Adrian could also do the same in England to keep out the Scots from coming in to England.

And they built these walls with only man power and wooden made cranes to do this, and yet with all the modem equipment a round they can not even do the same on mostly even terrain, as to the mountainous land like in Scotland and China.

So why don’t they do the same build a huge wall with proper controlled entry points and watch towers like the Emporia’s be for them, and at both ends build cost guards points with under water sonar so that drugs can not be smuggled in by our under the ocean.

Secondly along the wall place radar equipment that can detect low filing plans and other things that can be used to bring drugs in to the stats by air, also make certain that the foundations are deep enough to stop anyone from tunnelling under it, lets face it if two Emporia’s did it, then why can not one President mange to do the same with all the wealth and equipment they have. 

And the country that also boarders Mexico on the other side do the same so drugs can not be smuggled out that way, If the drug cartel can not get there drugs out so easily then they should start to losses the gripe on the Mexican government.

Some times it is better to deal with things the same way as the leaders of the past to try and solve a problem where over solutions have not worked, and governments and the police have been corrupted by the cartels, unless positive action is taken by country’s that boarders Mexico.

There also other solutions to the problem, which may be tried first by all governments around the world, and that is the most controversy of all is decriminalization and add tax, like cigarettes and alcohol, this way they would make money and be able to control them better.                  

Too much money and time is wasted on trying to control and prevent the smuggling and using of drugs, when this could be spent else’s where more important and also make money from taxing them.

European Court of Justice

The European Court of Justice decided in October 2007 that certain disability and carers             benefits are sickness benefits and may be paid to people who leave the UK to live else where in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland.
Affected Benefits

The decision affects.

    * Disability Living Allowance (care component only)
    * Attendance Allowance
    * Carer's Allowance

The mobility component of Disability Living Allowance has not been affected by this judgement.

    * Disability Living Allowance
    * Attendance Allowance
    * Carer's Allowance

Who can continue to get the benefits

There are four main groups of people who may continue to receive these benefits if they move from the UK to live in another EEA state or Switzerland. The EEA consists of the 27 member states of the European Union plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

You may continue to receive these benefits if.

  *If you work in the UK or pay National Insurance in the UK because of your work, but leave the UK to live in another EEA state or Switzerland and thus become a frontier or posted worker, or you are a family member (spouse, civil partner or someone dependent on a parent) of someone who does this
  * You have paid enough National Insurance Contributions to be able to claim a UK contribution-based sickness benefit, or you are a family member (spouse, civil partner or someone dependent on a parent) of someone who has these benefits
  * You are in receipt of State Pension, Industrial Injuries Benefit, Incapacity Benefit, contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance or Bereavement Benefits from the UK, or you are a family member (spouse, civil partner or someone dependent on a parent) of someone who has these benefits

The exportability team at the Department for Work and Pensions can check your National Insurance records for you.

Exportability Team

Other things to be aware of.

*If you can get a sickness benefit from another EEA state or Switzerland or if you work in another EEA state or Switzerland, this may affect whether you can take the disability benefit with you when you move.
*If you are entitled as a family member, whether you can take the disability benefit with you when you move may also be affected if your spouse, civil partner or parent can get a sickness benefit or works in another EEA state or Switzerland.
*If you are in receipt of a retirement pension or invalidity benefit from another EEA state or Switzerland, you may be entitled to a disability benefit from that country rather than from the UK.
*You must still meet the usual entitlement conditions for the benefits you wish to take with you. The only difference is that after you have moved you no longer have to:

    be normally resident in the UK

    be in the UK

If you receive certain benefits, including State Pension, that are paid at a rate that is the same or more than Carer's Allowance, you may not receive payment of Carer's Allowance.

How long the benefits will be paid for.

*If you can take your benefits with you when you move to live in another EEA state or Switzerland, the length of time that you will continue to be paid depends on your circumstances. If your needs or circumstances change, this may affect how long your benefit is paid.
*If you are in receipt of 'relevant benefits' from the UK, your disability benefit will be paid for as long as you remain in receipt of one of those benefits, or the duration of your current disability benefit award if shorter.
*If you have paid enough National Insurance Contributions to be able to claim a contributions-based sickness benefit, your benefit will be paid for as long as you remain insured from these contributions, or the duration of your award if shorter.

If you are claiming as a family member of.

 * Someone who is working in the UK, your benefit will be paid for as long as that person continues to work in the UK, or the duration of your award if shorter
 * Someone who has paid enough National Insurance Contributions for them to be able to claim a contributions-based sickness benefit, your benefit will be paid for as long as that person remains insured from their contributions, or the duration of your award if shorter
 * Someone who is in receipt of short-term Incapacity Benefit or the assessment phase rate of contributions-based Employment and Support Allowance, your benefit will be paid for as long as that person remains in receipt of that benefit, or the duration of your award if shorter

If you can get the Benefit

*If you can get a sickness benefit or retirement pension from another EEA state or Switzerland or if you work in another EEA state or Switzerland, this may affect whether you can continue to get your disability benefit from the UK.
*If you are entitled as a family member, whether you can continue to get the disability benefit may also be affected if your spouse, civil partner or parent can get a sickness benefit or starts work in another EEA state or Switzerland.

What to do next

If you are moving to live in another EEA state or Switzerland, you need to notify the exportability team of this change of circumstances.

When you contact the exportability team, tell them.

    * your National Insurance number
    * whether you are going to work in another EEA state or Switzerland
    * whether you already get or will be able to get any other benefits from another state

If you are moving to live in another EEA state or Switzerland and think you might be entitled as a family member, also tell them:

    * who the family member is
    * their National Insurance number
    * whether they are going to work in another EEA state or Switzerland
    * whether they already get or will be able to get any other benefits from another state
*If you think you may be affected by the court's decision and are unsure about what to do, or if you need any further information, you should contact the exportability team.
*If you have already contacted the exportability team about the judgement, you do not need to contact them again.
*If you ask to export your disability benefit and you do not satisfy the relevant conditions, your application will be disallowed. You will be able to ask for a reconsideration and appeal against that decision within certain deadlines.

  Exportability Team

If you have made an appeal.

*If your Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance stopped when you moved abroad, you may have made a new claim or requested reinstatement of a benefit.
*The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has selected a small number of these appeals which share common issues (known as lead cases). These have been sent for tribunal hearings. The DWP has requested that similar cases are suspended until the tribunal has made a decision.
*The tribunal will hear these cases in March 2010. If you have made an appeal, you will be updated as soon as the tribunal has made a decision, expected to be April 2010 at the earliest.
In this section...

A Clossed List.

*And this lead to clossed list of of who you can get wed to or from a civel partnership with,  if you are on a benefit because if you have to move to there country you will find your self lossing your benefit and not being able to feed your self or pay bills.

My Statement on this new law.

*The DWP and the British government because of the ruling given by the Human Rights Court made up a closed list, with out any care for the people who it would effect if they with some one who is not on that list.
*This is a clear breach of there Human Rights not to be with someone you love and care about because you are ill and on benefits, you see if you are already complying and have the meet the health grounds for that Benefit and have been on it for years.
*Just because you go out with some not on there list and you are in a Civil Partnership that is legal then the closed list should not and can not apply to you, as this is a Clear Breach of your Human Rights.
*Eeven the seriously sick people can not help how they fall in love with it is not fare that people that are in this group are not given the same Rights as if it was some one from the EU.
