Prime Minister

An open letter demanding your resignation.

Your position is untenable and, I as a citizen of Great Briton demand your

instant resignation.

You are unelected, have no popular mandate and lack the moral authority

to be Prime Minister. Your terms as Chancellor and Prime Minister have

been a total disaster for this nation and your attempt to cling on to power

at all costs show a complete contempt for this nation and displays your

absolute vanity and thirst for political power.

I list below some of the mistakes made by you during your time in public

office. If as a director of a limited company you had made similar mistakes

you would be subject to criminal prosecution and banned from being a

company director. As a Government minister the standards exercised

should be significantly higher than those exercised by a company director,

you have failed to maintain those standards and are unfit for public office.

 Banking Supervision: You transferred responsibility for banking

supervision to the Financial Services Authority from the Bank of

England so directly laying the seeds of the current banking crisis.

 Banking Crisis: The initial response to the Northern Rock crisis was so

slow as to be glacial and ultimately led to the damage done to the

whole banking sector. A strong Prime Minister would have provided

depositors with a guarantee that their deposits were safe and the

bank run would have stopped. Ultimately the same guarantee would

have ensured that the HBOS and RBS debacle would not have been

so severe.

 Criminal Negligence: The entire UK banking crisis has been caused by

a lack of supervision under the regulatory regime set up by you, any

man of honour would have resigned upon seeing the damage caused.

You however have tried to blame everyone else and accept no

responsibility. You are criminally negligent.

 Vanity: You have used the banking crisis to attempt to advance your

personal standing and political career at the expense of the nation.

 Lack of Judgment: You have made three serious errors of judgment

in your appointment of advisers on the current financial crisis.

1. Your choice of banker to compile a report on ideas for improving

public health was Sir Derek Wanless. a Northern Rock director when

it imploded in 2007.

2. You appointed Sir James Crosby, the former HBOS CEO, to the board

of the FSA who then had to resign after becoming embroiled in the

row over failings of risk management at HBOS.

3. It now also appears that Glen Moreno will be forced out of his job, as

chairman of UK Financial Investments Ltd, the company set up to

oversee the government’s stake in the bailed-out banks, because of

his links with a Liechtenstein trust accused of tax evasion.

 You Fantasize: By clinging to the idea that, thanks to your genius British

citizens are far better placed than competitors to handle this crisis. The

following two facts demonstrate that this is a fantasy:-

1. The Office for National Statistics' revelation that while the number of

foreign workers getting jobs in the UK continues to grow (up by

175,000 to 2.4 million last year), domestic unemployment is rising

sharply.

2. According to Business Monitor International, a research company

specialising in country risk, "Britain is facing an unprecedented fall in

its economic world ranking… from 12th place in 2007 to 21st in

2010". "Despite enjoying 11 years of growth between 1997 and

2007, the UK ran a budget deficit of 1.7 per cent of GDP over this

period, fuelling a fiscal time bomb. Faced with the financial burden of

bailing out the banking sector and kick-starting the economy, the

budget deficit will swell to an unsustainable 9.3 per cent of GDP in

2009."

 Public spending: Your 2000 Spending Review presaged a major

expansion of government spending, without any significant benefit to

public services, directly leading to the UK being in the worst shape of

any industrialised nation to weather the current financial crisis.

 You have colluded in hiding the full extent of public borrowing by using

PFI initiatives to hide the borrowings off balance sheet. PFI is the most

expensive and inefficient form of finance possible, and you have

saddled the country with a debt that you cannot even quantify. Jeremy

Pocklington, leader of the Treasury’s corporate and private finance

team, could only give a rough estimate to Richard Bacon that the total

liabilities, but not debt, from the vast majority of PFIs, but not all, from

2006-07 to 2032-33, but not beyond, is £157.9bn. That is not only

astounding but unbelievable.

 Public sector Employment: The office for national Statistics shows

Public sector employment was 5,846,000 (20.4 per cent of all in

employment) in June 2005, 680,000 (13.2 per cent) higher than in June

1998, whereas from 1998 to 2005 private sector employment only rose

by 1,241,000 (5.7 per cent). This growth is unsustainable and wrong.

 Growth: An OECD report shows UK economic growth averaged 2.7%

between 1997 and 2006, lower than in any other English

speaking country.

 Gold sales: Between 1999 and 2002 you sold 60% of the UK's gold

reserves at $275 an ounce, close to a 20-year low, a disastrous foray into

international asset management.

 Your spectrum auctions gathered £22.5 billion for the government

which caused a severe recession in the telecoms development industry

leading to the direct loss of 30,000 UK jobs. Two auctions were run in

the USA, the first being cancelled and re-run (for less revenue) due to

damage caused to the industry. The Americans realised their mistake

and tried to rectify it. The British and German chancellors copied the

North American first auction; which had failed. To copy a failed

economic model is normally considered a serious error of judgement.

 Your East Coast Mainline franchise auction led directly to the demise of

GNER, an excellent company, which was replaced by National Express

who offer East Coast mainline users a significantly poorer service. Your

duty was not only to maximise revenues, you also had a duty to the

shareholders, employees and customers which you completely failed.

 Anti-poverty: The Centre for Policy Studies found that the poorest fifth

of households, which accounted for 6.8% of all taxes in 1996–7,

accounted for 6.9% of all taxes paid in 2004-5. Meanwhile, their share

of state benefit payouts dropped from 28.1% to 27.1% over the same

period.

 Tax: According to the OECD UK taxation has increased from a 39.3%

share of gross domestic product in 1997 to 42.4% in 2006, going to a

higher level than Germany. This increase has mainly been attributed to

active government policy, and not simply to the growing economy.

 You pledged to not increase the basic or higher rates of income tax

however in all but your final budget, you only increased the tax

thresholds in line with inflation, rather than earnings, resulting in fiscal

drag.

 You abolished the 10% tax band so that you could reduce the basic rate

from 22% to 20%, to make it look like you were decreasing taxes.

However in fact it led to increased tax for 5 million people, and, left

those earning under £18,000 as the biggest losers.

 Pensions: Your changes in 1997 in the way corporation tax is collected,

directly led to the taxation of dividends on stock investments held

within pensions, thus lowering pension returns and contributing to the

demise of most of the final salary pension funds in the UK.

 This act alone has single handedly damaged the pension of every

person with a pension in the UK but also saddled UK corporations with

a an ever growing pension liability, so much so that many companies

futures are imperilled by these debts.

 Falsehoods: You used the Laura Spence Affair to beat up Oxford and

Cambridge about their admissions procedures, Lord Jenkins, then

Oxford Chancellor and himself a former Labour Chancellor of the

Exchequer, said "nearly every fact you used was false.

 Inappropriate links: Given the finding that the government did not

carry a proper public consultation on the use of nuclear power in its

2006 Energy Review, your brother Andrew’s is links to one of the main

nuclear lobbyists, EDF Energy could be construed as inappropriate.

 The father-in-law of your closest adviser Ed Balls, Tony Cooper (father

of the Labour minister Yvette Cooper) has close links with the nuclear

industry. Cooper was described as an "articulate, persuasive and wellinformed

advocate of nuclear power over the last ten years" by the

Nuclear Industry Association on his appointment as Chairman of the

British Nuclear Industry Forum in June 2002.

 IraqWar: You supported British involvement in the Iraq War against the

wishes of the UK population and helped to justify that involvement by

publishing false intelligence. This war has directly increased the odds of

terrorist attacks on British subjects and the financial cost has had a

significantly detrimental effect on the British economy.

 Military Covenant: You have not adhered to the 'military covenant',

leading to a significant decline in the moral of the armed forces due to

poor housing, lack of equipment and adequate healthcare provisions.

The lack of equipment has directly led to an increase in the loss of lives,

and serious injuries, compounded by a lack care following serious

injury.

 The 15% VAT Rate: introduced to counter the effects of recession

demonstrated a total naivety and breathtaking stupidity. Far from

digging the nation out of a hole, it has saddled the country with a huge

unsustainable debt.

 No one should benefit from failure: You have on numerous occasions

stated that no one should benefit from failure, however your tenure as

chancellor was universally recognised as a failure, but you were

rewarded with the Premiership and had the gall to accept.

 There will be no more Boom & Bust: In your hubris you made a

statement that was patently untrue, and counter to any economic

theory. You either knew that statement to be untrue and lied or if you

believed it then you clearly demonstrated your foolishness and proved

that you were unfit for office.

 The UK is in a better position than any other developed country: this

again is completely untrue, we have more than double the debt per

head of population than any other country in Europe.

 Public Services: You have destroyed Public Services by a raft of

inappropriate targets, which have led to resources being wasted by the

attempts to meet those targets.

 Surveillance society: You have presided over and led to the creation of

a surveillance society in which any perceived wrongdoing is used as a

pretext to pass oppressive laws. You and your predecessor have both

single headedly succeeded in making the UK an unpleasant place to live

in.

These are but a small sample of your failings any of which make you unfit

for public office and for which you should immediately resign. You sir are a

fraud and I am forwarding this letter to as many people as I can, via the

internet in an effort to shame you into accepting your failures.

Yours faithfully

Steven Katirai

[Monk]

Fantastic letter, there are so many other things he has missed though.

[Houdini Logic]

... and more importantly why can't you do something cool like marry a supermodel or become a judo master?

[Kilworthfox]

It is a god letter, I don't understand it all, & he has made 1 big spelling error.

Other than that the economic situation is what you make it, I can only see that Cable knew what he was on about, everyone else went along with Brown for years enjoying the good life.

[davieG]

It would be a nice idea if I thought there was a better arse of a politician out there to replace him.

I don't know how many Labour politicians there are - and you'd be scraping some shit that's for sure - but, in terms of wht's good for our country, you could start with any one of them.

When a prime minister presides over a by-election result whereby the BNP beat the Labour Party because the native white population feel discriminated against and constantly disadvantaged then you know something is desperately wrong.

And it's not just in that by-election that people are expressing their anger...it's much closer to home.

I don't doubt there's something desperately wrong I just doubt there is a politician out there, of any hue who would be radical enough, honest enough and altruistic enough to right the wrongs.

Politically I'm in despair.

It's not a surprise, people are fed up, some feel the current regime are neglecting them and giving attention to others!! This type of reactionary response will only make things worse!!

[Alexikokopops]

undermined only slightly by his inability to spell "Britain" correctly

Haha, I thought that. Unless he's actually referring to himself as a great ancient inhabitant of this land.

[Thracian]

It's not a surprise, people are fed up, some feel the current regime are neglecting them and giving attention to others!! This type of reactionary response will only make things worse!!

I quite realise that many won't like to see reference to the consequence of Labour's misguided actions and in some ways sympathise with their reasoning.

They are not alone. The Leicester Mercury will happily quote the anti-white racists of the Labour Party and most any politician in the land but they officially blank the voice of English nationalists in a blatant example of yet more discrimination.*

Yet what I say is what is happening - and in so many parts of the country - because, in the end, even easy-going people will react to being treated like scum and like second grade citizens in their own land . Especially when they are the very people our Government is first and foremost elected to represent and look our for, including your good self.

* Don't mistake my support for free speech for anything other than what it is. I'd happily defend anyone's right to be heard way over and above the Labour Party's idea of imposing ideology by stealth and by seeking to cover up anything they don't want the public to know or which they think will hinder their progress.

[Flynny]

Labour aren't exactly deliberately inciting racial hatred though, are they Thracian? To suggest that the BNP does no less is just not true.

[Thracian]

Labour aren't exactly deliberately inciting racial hatred though, are they Thracian? To suggest that the BNP does no less is just not true.

There is nothing ambiguous about Labour's discrimination and instead of pretending differently, can you not see it is that which is and has pursuaded ordinary live-and-let-live white people to turn to the only politicians they believe will look after their jobs, their rights, their homes, their welfare and their sense of worth?

I have never in over 40 years known anything like the anger and resentment there is out there.

The fury about how hard it is for needy white families to get housing assistance, how pointless it is trying to apply for the few jobs on offer, how impossible it is to complain about anyone or anything that relates to someone of a different ethnic background is impossible to over-state.

Only yesterday there was national focus on the latter...

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090223/tuk-w...im-6323e80.html

And when it comes to disguising the real message from released statistics the following was published AFTER I'd been told by the son of a police officer that a huge proportion of knife crime related to the immigrant populations but that this information was being strategically withheld...

If Ultra wants to say my "huge proportion" remark is untrue then I'm listening.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/c...icle2284258.ece

And the response from a minister from our "strong on crime and the causes of crime" government ...

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090223/tuk-k...on-6323e80.html

But still you excuse them and suggest that Labour's orchestration of the build-up of anti-immigrant resentment is not deliberate and effectively nothing to do with them.

Perhaps it is all the fault of misguided reaction by English whites...

Whites who are idiotically and unreasonably:-

Wanting to keep THEIR jobs.

Wanting to have alternative jobs to go to if their own is lost instead of having the jobs filled by people from umpteen other lands whose people don't have the same often government-imposed living costs as our workers do.

Wanting to keep THEIR houses so that THEIR wives and children have a roof and can feel safe.

Wanting to be sure that, in times of hardship THEIR welfare system, which THEY have paid into, comes to THEIR rescue instead of putting all and sundry, who have contributed sod-all to this country and its welfare provisions, at the head of the queue all the time and then some.

The socialists deliberately, calculatingly and systematically refer to the racial aspect of the BNP and repeat terms like racist and fascist tactically for one basic reason.

It is to keep the BNP'smessage away from the media so that Labour can continue with policies which clearly undermine the white British population of this country and effectively stand as an anti-white racist agenda the like of which has never been matched in my lifetime.

And, as usual with Labour there is a grain of truth in what they say but a whole lot more truth in what they omit to say.

The truth is that there are racists in the BNP. And what a field day they'll be having right now. But they were never a threat in the past and were never likely to be, especially among my generation. Few non-extemists would ever have dreamed of joining the BNP but it's certainly not the case now.

Even now this doesn't mean normally easy-going white folk want to be racist - many disagree with some of the BNP's more extreme pronouncements - but they do want their rights, their self-respect, their peace of mind and the social harmony of their country back.

This, of course, is what Labour are belatedly recognising and pretending half-heartedly to do something about.

Not, of course, for the good of our land but in a desperate bid to preserve their power, to keep their cushy jobs, their privileged perks, their inflated expenses, their ill-gotten backhanders and the support of the trades unions without whom they and their supplementary Communist/Marxist cohorts would be nothing.

But it is too late. Apart from the diehards in the Welsh valleys and similar Red Flag strongholds, no-one believes them. In fact far more believe that they have done irrepairable damage to this country, home and abroad, in so many ways. And that's the kind things they say.

[Zingari]

maybe i'm just an old cynic, but i don't think his resignation would make a whole lot of difference to the world economic crisis

[Webbo]

Just think of the trouble we'd be in if Gordon Brown hadn't eradicated boom and bust.

[Dr The Singh]

maybe i'm just an old cynic, but i don't think his resignation would make a whole lot of difference to the world economic crisis

No, but it may make a few people feel better for a day or two, who knows a few may even get laid because of it!!!!!!!

[Guest]

maybe i'm just an old cynic, but i don't think his resignation would make a whole lot of difference to the world economic crisis

It won't now no, but as the writer of the letter suggests if he was a company director he would've been banned from directorship for overseeing such a shambolic deterioration of the company he resides over. It won't make a great difference, just like shutting the door after the horse has bolted, but the question is, should he be allowed to stay in the position he's in after he has had, what some would suggest, is a significant part in the economic state of this country?

Obviously I'm not suggesting the entire economic crisis is his fault before anybody jumps down my throat

[Ultra]

I quite realise that many won't like to see reference to the consequence of Labour's misguided actions and in some ways sympathise with their reasoning.

If you are going to uncritically post links to BNP propaganda and freely borrow from it in your own material, then you can expect to be held to account for it in the same way as anyone else.

Strangely enough, I have little sympathy for those who think I and others of my ilk belong in a gas chamber - nor for those misguided enough to help them spread their poison.

By the way, if I posted a letter listing all David Cameron's failings, it would take HOURS to read.

[Thracian]

maybe i'm just an old cynic, but i don't think his resignation would make a whole lot of difference to the world economic crisis

I'm not even sure it would do any good for the morale of our country either. Imagine a dose of someone like Harriet Harman next.

I'll not give chapter and verse...

This should be sufficient (from Wikipaedia):

In Terms of Transparency....

===================

Motion to hide MP's expenses:

In January 2009 Harman proposed a rule change to exempt MP's expenses from the freedom of information act. Her parliamentary order, aimed to remove "most expenditure information held by either House of Parliament from the scope of the [Freedom of Information] Act".

It meant that under the law, journalists and members of the public would no longer be entitled to learn details of their MP's expenses.

Labour MPs were to be forced to vote for this measure by use of a three line whip. Her proposal was eventually withdrawn following the Conservative party saying they would vote against, and an online campaign by My Society.

In terms of hypocrisy:

==============

Choice of school

She was involved in a media controversy when she sent her eldest son, Harry, to a Catholic grant-maintained school[48] the London Oratory School in 1993, on the grounds that her family were Catholic but then sent her younger son Joseph to the non-Catholic St Olave's Grammar School, Orpington in 1995.

Harry was head boy of the Oratory School from 2000-1.

Labour policy opposed these forms of education and Labour abolished them in 1998. But she retained office with the support of the Labour leader, Tony Blair.

In terms of the anti-white racial discrimination that supposedly doesn't exist:

=======================================================

Equality Bill

As part of a proposed Equality Bill, Harman announced a consultation on changing the existing discrimination laws, which included options for discriminatory Positive Action in employment.

Under the proposals, employers would be legally allowed to discriminate in favour of a job candidate on the basis of their race or gender where the candidates were otherwise equally qualified.

Employers would not be required to use these powers, but would be able to do so without the threat of legal action for discriminatory practices.

Harman has claimed that this proposal would not simply involve discrimination against white males, and than men will benefit in some circumstances; for example if a school wanted to balance a predominantly female workforce by discriminating in favour of employing a male teacher.

The white paper also proposed measures to end age discrimination, promote transparency in organisations and introduce a new equality duty on the public sector.

These changes, if made, could face a challenge under Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, language, religion and on several other criteria.

Writing in the Daily Mail, Leo McKinstry, a former aide to Harman condemned her proposals stating that they were a "direct contradiction of equal opportunities" and that "nothing could be more unjust, patronising or discriminatory than awarding jobs on the basis of skin colour or gender".[29]

The Guardian has pointed out the bill is a "watered down" version of Harman's original plans as it does not include a requirement for all private sector companies to conduct compulsory pay audits as a way of promoting equal pay for women.

Whereas Michael Millar, writing in the Spectator was of the opinion that, "The Equality Bill before parliament today gives employers the right to choose an ethnic minority candidate or female candidate over a white male, specifically because they are an ethnic minority or female."

Harman also commissioned a report on allowing political parties to draw up all-black shortlists[45] designed to increase the number of black MPs in Westminster. A further measure extended the arrangement allowing all-women shortlists until 2030 All-women shortlists have already been used by the Labour Party to increase the number of female MPs.[46] These proposals are supported by members of the three major parties.[47]

As my old colleague Richard Littlejohn would say, "you couldn't make it up".

[davieG]

It won't now no, but as the writer of the letter suggests if he was a company director he would've been banned from directorship for overseeing such a shambolic deterioration of the company he resides over. It won't make a great difference, just like shutting the door after the horse has bolted, but the question is, should he be allowed to stay in the position he's in after he has had, what some would suggest, is a significant part in the economic state of this country?

Obviously I'm not suggesting the entire economic crisis is his fault before anybody jumps down my throat

Would he? I don't see that happening very often!

[Daggers]

Would he? I don't see that happening very often!

If he was a company director we'd find Wales had been put in his wife's name, while Cornwall, Devon & Somerset would now be in an anonymous Swiss bank account. He'd be charging London against expenses and doing Cheltenham on the side.

[DB11]

I stopped reading when he spelt 'Britain' like 'Briton'

I cannot speak for them myself but would challenge you to name one single member of the BNP who adocates putting anyone in a gas chamber.

I will happily and vigourously condemn any BNP member who thinks as you claim. I just don't know of any because I really haven't studied their form having only even looked at the BNP site for the first time recently as a result of comment made on this forum.

And if such people do exist do you not support a Labour Party which has many ex-Communist Party members and Marxist sympathisers within it's ranks?

Yet how many people did Communist/Marxist "heroes" send to their deaths from 1936-39. And wasn't Hitler a socialist anyway?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge

http://members.ij.net/rex/socialists.html

Is it relevent to bring these people up and say all socialist/communist/Marxists are potential wacko's? Of course not.

I've always acknowledged that there are doubtless some fanatics in the BNP but I'd argue too that far more British nationalists feel very little kinship with the BNP.

Most I imagine to be British Nationalists at heart rather than White British Nationalists which is something quite different and declaredly much closer to the official BNP policy.

And I'd very much doubt that even a tiny proportion of recent BNP members are in the least bit extreme but are much more likely to be refugees from the Labour Party who have so shamelessly deserted them and so mockingly inflamed their anger.

As for David Cameron what has he got to do with anything?

The Conservative Party aren't plotting a change of leadership as far as I know. Cameron is simply the leader of an opposition party right now and one that could no more beat the BNP than your lot last time out.

But Harriet Harman COULD replace Gordon Brown and could conceivably lead the country without any more of a mandate than Brown.

[davieG]

I'm puzzled by people's on going reference to the fact that Brown has no mandate in that he wasn't elected. Surely none of our Prime Ministers are elected and I didn't hear too many people complaining when John Major became Prime Minister in a similar way.

Thrac as for Hitler being a Socialist, well he fooled a lot of people at the time by including that word in the title of his party and still seems to be doing so.
