Public Don’t Buy Wed Ed

After he was rounded on by the media and widely mocked for not only his appearance at the Riot for an Alternative, but the content of his speech, Ed seemed to think that announcing he was getting married a couple of days later would make up for his mistakes. However the latest YouGov figures show the public saw straight through it. Just 29% of people asked think he proposed for genuine personal reasons compared to the 43% that think it was to improve his personal image.

Oh well, Justine looked happy anyway.

The Fabian Society-Extracts from Pierre de Villemarest’ book Facts & Chronicles Denied to the Public, Vol. 1)

(Extracts from Pierre de Villemarest’ book Facts & Chronicles Denied to the Public, Vol. 1)

The tortoise is one of the symbols of the Fabian Society

THE FABIAN SOCIETY

The name “Fabian” comes symbolically from the man who in Rome was named Fabius Cunctator, the Delayer, who used to advocate, the Larousse Universel in one of its last uncensored editions of the fifties reminds us, in evoking the Fabian Societies: “a slow and progressive tactic”, instead of direct attack.
This type of socialist movement was born within the Marxist movements, resulting from the meetings and seminars between academics and intellectuals, between March 1883 and 1889.
Harry W Laidler, one of the rare historians of the “set”, writes in 1968, in his History of Socialism (which appeared in New York) that the first group was officially founded in England on the 4 January 1884. George Bernard Shaw published as early as 1889 one of the first books stemming from these seminars, under the title of “Fabian Essays on Socialism”. Around him were already hovering Sidney and Beatrice Webb (future apologists of the USSR in 1936), Annie Besant, Eleanor Marx (one of Marx’s daughters) who left shortly for the United States to establish identical groups, etc. In exile in London in 1890, Edouard Bernstein became the main mover and shaker in the Fabian cells at the heart of the German social democracy. Others scattered to Hamburg, Brussels, Rome, and Paris. However their semi-secret work did not appear until after the 1919-1922 period, yet without ever using publicly the term “Fabian”. It is thus that Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, founder of the Pan European Movement in Vienna, and various research groups in France, such as Crise-X and other Committees of Economic, Humanist and Diplomatic Studies etc, were in fact the vehicles for the Fabian ideals and objectives. In their wake, the majority of movements with an internationalist, socialist calling, born in the thirties, and especially after 1945 were, if not created by, at least totally infiltrated and influenced by the Fabians. Thus before 1939 the group of Coutrot, ex-student of the Paris polytechnic, or in the USA, the League for an Industrial Democracy, and after 1945 the Bilderberg Conference, Pugwash, the Aspen Institute, the Club of Rome, the world-wide Federalist Movement. Twins born in 1919-1920: the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) in London, and the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, are purely and simply Fabian children.

Here is what the Fabian, Harry Laidler wrote as far back as 1919: “The Fabian socialism considers that the (inescapable) transition from capitalism towards socialism should be effected gradually. It foresees the socialisation of industry by means of well-controlled political and economic agencies; the middle classes are the best means of introducing and developing the technique of an administration intended for a new social order…”
The English professor G.D.H. Cole, who became president of the Fabian Society in 1941, himself, stressed that all forms of socialism should be sustained and used towards the objectives planned throughout the world “both the social-democratic parties, Labour Party members and others in Europe and in the New World, and communism in Russia, or other minority groups elsewhere, since there is no difference in their objectives, only in their methods.”
The power of the Fabians has come from a slow and patient progression. Since their very first meetings they decided that since the world was entering the industrial era, they had to cell in the future framework of the States, in public and private administration, in factories and businesses. And thus to prepare the managerial staff of the parties, governments, international organisations, etc.

In Great Britain, the Labour Party (like its splinter-group in 1993, the Social Democratic Party led by Shirley Williams) are Fabian creations, the Labour Party members Aneurin Bevan, Edward Heath, James Callaghan, Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey etc. as well as the “fascist” Oswald Mosley, were or are Fabians. The London School of Economics is a Fabian creation.
Since the forties, the International socialist used an apparatus through which 70% of the ruling members were cast in the same mould. Daniel Meyer, like half of the members of the Mitterrand team, after 1981, came out of that. Likewise the American economist J.K. Galbraith, and the majority of the movers and shakers of the foreign Political Institutes or foreign Centres of Political Studies currently at work in Europe, North and South America and the Commonwealth States. Of course, the “thinkers” who surround David Rockefeller in the Trilateral Commission, as yesterday the leaders of the Monnet Committee, are Fabians.
We are making use of information drawn directly from the archives of the Fabian Society, and from the schools and universities where the Fabian professors are charged with recruiting disciples.

OECD agrees with the British public that sorting out the public finances is the right thing to do

OECD agrees with the British public that sorting out the public finances is the right thing to do
Matthew Sinclair  •  Economics 101  •  Wednesday 16 March 2011

The OECD has released a new report on the state of the British economy.  It has a number of interesting recommendations – for example more autonomy for schools to improve performance – but the central message is that the fiscal consolidation is right and necessary.  Spending cuts planned are vital to build a sustainable economic recovery.

Bumper receipts from the booming financial sector obscured the scale of the problem before the financial crisis, but it is now very clear that a substantial change is needed.  While the unions and some politicians are still trying to mount an irresponsible opposition insisting no cuts are necessary, they have lost the argument.   The Guardian’s poll on Monday revealed that the public support spending cuts too.  The real debate now is about how we can best manage that process.

“The UK economy emerged from the 2008–09 recession with elevated public and private debt and high unemployment. Strong growth and macroeconomic stability in the run–up to the crisis had hidden a build–up of significant imbalances, influenced by overreliance on debt–finance and the financial sector, and booming asset prices. These imbalances need to be addressed to ensure a sustainable and balanced recovery. The government is pursuing a necessary and wide ranging programme of fiscal consolidation and structural reforms aimed at achieving stronger growth and a rebalancing of the
economy over time.

A broad based recovery started in end–2009, but faces significant headwinds during 2011, which can be mitigated by monetary policy remaining supportive. The planned fiscal consolidation is needed to ensure that the fiscal position will be sustainable over time. Nonetheless, it adds to the headwinds from weak real income growth and a fading rebound in global trade. Monetary policy should hence remain expansionary, even if headline inflation is significantly above target, to support the recovery.”

Their argument for a permanent fiscal framework is one important area where the Government could improve.  In the book How to Cut Public Spending (and Still Win an Election) we looked at how expenditure targets could help to deliver a more effective fiscal consolidation.  They should still be put in place.

Spending chief in charge of protecting the public purse claims £4,000 for one-minute walk

By Rebecca Evans

The man whose job is to ‘protect the public purse’ claims a travel allowance of £4,000 a year for a daily one-minute walk from his hotel to office.

Eugene Sullivan, the £180,000-a-year chief executive of the Audit Commission, also spends £18,000 of taxpayers’ money each year staying in the luxury hotel.

The 62-year-old receives £5,000 a year for train fares, taxis and car mileage, on top of his £4,070 travel allowance.

Each week, Mr Sullivan spends three nights at the £160-a-night Westminster Mint Hotel that is only 164 yards from his office at Millbank Tower.

At weekends, he travels back to his £500,000 family home in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.  Mr Sullivan, who was promoted internally from the post of managing director, has basic pay of £165,004.  This is topped up by an £18,000 ‘additional responsibility allowance’ and £43,704 in pension contributions.  His total package comes to more than £250,000.

Public sector inertia

Public sector inertia
Andrew Allison  •  Grassroots  •  Wednesday 09 March 2011

There are many examples of waste that go largely unnoticed. These are often examples that do not involve large sums of money. However as our parents used to tell us, if you take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves.

One such example was spotted by the Hull Daily Mail. A headteacher of a Hull primary school was breathalysed on his way to work. He was found to be just above the legal limit, was fined and banned from driving. The school then decided to suspend him on full pay. I’m not going through the rights and wrongs of this. Many will agree with the school that he may have brought it into disrepute, while others will say it overreacted. This is not my point.

Instead of convening a governors’ meeting and making a quick decision, the governors sat on the problem, and six months later – having still not made a decision – the headteacher resigned. This was not a complicated case. There are precedents, and the school can seek the advice of the education authority.

As this was a primary school, the headteacher would have been on a salary of between £50-60K a year. Because of this dithering, the governors have paid-out somewhere between £25-30K  they did not need to.  At a time when every penny counts, this is something that should not be happening.

There are too many staff in the public sector who are suspended, sit at home for months – sometimes years – whilst their case is dealt with at a speed snails would be embarrassed of. In January it was revealed Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council had suspended 35 employees between them. One had been suspended for 45 months! In Manchester, one school worker was suspended for over five years, costing taxpayers over £100K in salary and employment costs, not to mention the huge legal bills. Incidents like this may go some way to explain the high levels of spending on supply teachers we found recently.

The journalist who wrote the story in the Hull Daily Mail said to me if she had been prosecuted for a misdemeanor, her editor would have made a decision on her future in the time it took her to walk from the court to the office. If private sector businesses can make these decisions quickly – with due regard to employment law – why can’t the public sector? If doesn’t make a difference if someone is suspended from six months or five years. It is still our money being wasted.
