By  David Craig, on October 21st, 2012Here is a selection of quotes by more intelligent people than myself which I’ve used in PILLAGED Financial journalists “Personal finance is corrupt..Financial institutions and PR companies target millions of pounds from marketing budgets at a few dozen business journalists..Some journalists boast of lifestyles that are little more than perpetual junkets” Unit trusts “Investors have […] By David Craig, on October 20th, 2012Up to and during the banking crisis, we were constantly subjected to the British Banking Association’s Angela Knight appearing on TV to defend the banks. Whatever the banks did – aggressive tax avoidance, money laundering, mis-selling, profiteering, paying massive undeserved bonuses to failed executives, defrauding customers and shareholders, bribing politicians, fleecing taxpayers – the “repulsive” […] By David Craig, on October 19th, 2012Day after day after day, journalists in the main newspapers make a very good living (£1 or more a word) writing about whether Cameron can win the next election and what he needs to do to win the next election and so forth ad nauseam. But does liar Cameron really give a toss? Or is […] By David Craig, on October 18th, 2012Journalists make a living out of knowingly and cynically exaggerating, sensationalising and doom-mongering. I’m not in that business. But I’m finding it difficult to believe that we’re not heading for a massive financial crash and collapse in the value of the pound. You probably thought that was what happened in 2007/8. But the 2007/8 meltdown […] By David Craig, on October 17th, 2012Over the past few days, several newspapers have had headlines claiming MPs were about to lose their gold-plated pensions. But when you read the articles, it became clear that actually MPs were planning a massive 30% salary increase from £65,738 to £85,000. However, to throw up a smokescreen to dilute public fury at their greed, […] By David Craig, on October 16th, 2012During the economic and social catastrophe of New Labour’s 13 years in power, almost all our major institutions became corrupted by greed and incompetence – expenses-thieving MPs and Lords, our politically-correct police, the biased paedophile-protecting BBC, the useless Home Office, the bloated, wasteful NHS, our dumbed-down schools, financially-incontinent local councils and our ever-increasing profligate central […] By David Craig, on October 15th, 2012Congratulations to the Sunday Times Insight Team for another great investigation. As ordinary soldiers get maimed and killed in the pointless Afghan war, retired officers have been making fortunes using their connections to flog weapons to the military. Most retiring top brass will get one-off taxfree payments of around £300,000 plus £100,000 a year pensions […] By David Craig, on October 14th, 2012In Asia and South America, many countries are trying to drag themselves out of their corrupt, misruled past and improve the lives of their citizens. Britain sadly seems to be going in the other direction. CORRUPTION: Our military leaders – happy to let the Afghan war continue indefinitely as this gave them the opportunity to […] By David Craig, on October 13th, 2012In 2007, Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. We now know that most of what Gore and the IPCC claimed was a bunch of exaggerated claptrap using dodgy data and biased computer models. In 2009, Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize just nine […] By David Craig, on October 12th, 2012Our overpaid, over-pensioned military leaders really are having a laugh at their troops’ expense. First they grovel to their political masters by sending troops into the Afghan war with no idea of how to ever get them out. Then they failed to provide our troops with the proper equipment and helicopters because military bosses preferred […] |
