"Freeing up bank lending: action behind the scenes
The Government is working with UK banks and the European Investment Bank to maintain existing lending and make more available to small and medium-sized firms.
The Working Capital Scheme will secure up to £20 billion of working capital credit lines for ordinary risk companies with a turnover of up to £500 million a year, so ensuring that they are safe from reduction or withdrawal. It will also free up capital which the banks must use for new business lending that would otherwise not be available.
With the European Investment Bank, the Government has helped UK banks to negotiate credit lines of more than £4 billion in order to provide loans to small and medium-sized businesses – £1 billion of which have already been made available by banks.
Both the schemes above are for banks, not individual businesses, to apply to. They aim to make more credit available, which businesses can then benefit from. "


So in other words sod all for businesses, and plenty for banks to refil their bare treasuries.

Real help my Arse as Jim Royle would say.

Evil , Duplicitous Bastards

On the day that David Cameron announces the death of his beloved son Ivan. Peter Mandelson is using the event as cover to bring forward the much hated postal privatisation bill , allready beset by cynical leaks this week.

At the very time Gordon "I saved the world" Brown is giving his "SINCERE" words, his henchman is using tragic circumstance too steamroller legislation through on the sly.


USING AN EVENT LIKE THIS. SHAMEFUL.

TRADE UNION AND LABOUR SUPPORTERS GO TO A MIRROR AND LOOK. WHAT ARE YOU REALLY ABOUT WHEN YOU TOLERATE THIS?



ENOUGH! MANDELSON AND CAMPBELL MUST GO NOW!

OUR CONDOLENCES TOO THE CAMERON FAMILY

Jonathan Isaby "


A painful loss for you and your family and our heart felt sorrow.

the People of Scotland.

Could this explain the Scottish press' editorial obeyance to New Labour mantras?

Could this little snippet of how the Labour party , using government resources, keep Scotlands chattering classes sweet and onside?

Scottish Dead Tree Scribblers Flee the Press
Guido doesn't usually do local, particularly not local Scotland. However this is a bit too fun to ignore. Some thoughtless council official has made the mistake of putting this minute on the North Lanarkshire council website and it has put into the public domain the entire short list of applicants for the job as their Head of Spin.
Looks like there is a rush to get out out of the Dead Tree Press and into the safe harbour of the public sector with easy hours and gold plated pensions to accompany the job security.






"J. Allardyce" must be Jason Allardyce, associate editor of the Sunday Times Scotland.
"A.F. Carlin" could be Tony Carlin, Group Content Editor of Herald newspapers
"J.B. Currie" could be Brian Currie, former Evening Times’ political editor and now group political editor of Herald newspapers
"S. Dalgety" is probably Susan Dalgety, former Labour councillor and now of Holyrood Communications PR firm
"T.J.J. Little" must be Tom Little, Scotland on Sunday columnist
"S. Penman" is almost certainly Stephen Penman, currently Deputy Editor, Sunday Herald
"K.C. Symon" sounds like Ken Symon, currently with public affairs company McGarvie Morrison MediaOne surprise, "J.P. Murdoch" - surely things can't be that bad....

Broken Britain - A revolt against the political classes

We live in a broken democracy. No doubt about it. Westminster and the devolved parliaments are split along lines of self-interest, party interest and member’s interests. No longer are they fit too govern, not one party is able to show the people of the UK that they are responsible and worthy.

They rely on the voter being cyclical in nature, biding their time whilst waiting for power and in the meantime have a very rewarding time. Different parties, same people. No longer “one of us” as they like to proclaim when they want your vote, but a self styled and self name creature all of it’s own called the “political class” , a ruling elite, separate from the plebs. There have been no bigger backers of this movement of separation than Brown Cameron and Clegg and their respective rich and Nuevo riche’ party members. Now in places of power and wishing to make a “purse out a sows ear” by grandstanding as a new and separate class.


The country is in the worst economic mess imaginable and no sign or confidence from the people of the UK that any of the above people or parties have the ability to lead us out of it or have simply given up trying or believing in their ability or resolve.

So what now? A fracture to parties such as the BNP? They are already trying to capitalise on the nations disaffections. Just as in the 1970’s their violence escalated into rampant knuckle dragging thuggery .

People need to protest or march on parliaments and tell the LOT of them that they are no longer fit for purpose, and we want new members of parliament. No longer will we accept the 20+ years ingrained slops such as Marshall, foulkse, Howe, Clark, etc. Who daily treat running the country as a big game of bluster and bluff. We need serious people for serious times and the current parties sadly just don’t have the people, intelligence or fortitude. Neither do their humbly compliant ranks of supporters. Look at the Labour party? A party once proud party and powerful voice for the working man or woman, comprised of passionate Working Class people, neutered, silenced and taken over by people who sought the separate class status above. Essentially Tories full of wind and pish and seeking a vehicle knowing full well the real Tory party was going to be in for a service for a while.

Protest, disrupt, clean out and start again. Take back your respective voice.

Begin the revolt against the political classes.

Science chief at odds with SNP nuclear policy - In Hootsmons reality....

An Article by

Science chief at odds with SNP nuclear policy - or why Scotsman journos should drop taking the acid...

Look at this article first, then look at the TV interview with chief Scientific Adviser Glover here that they allegedly(and very loosely) ripped half the article from.

SCOTLAND'S chief scientific adviser yesterday voiced her support for nuclear power, a position that left her at odds with the Scottish Government.
Professor Anne Glover said nuclear should be "considered as (part of] a mix of production of energy". Her views appeared to clash with those of the SNP government, which has ruled out new nuclear plants in Scotland.And just hours later she appeared to change her position, saying it was a decision for governments, not scientists.Prof Glover made the pro-nuclear comments in an interview broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland yesterday morning.When asked whether she had told the SNP government she believed nuclear should be part of the mix, she replied: "I don't think we have had that discussion."She went on to describe nuclear as "fabulous in terms of energy generation", but added that a "huge amount of carbon" was emitted during the construction and decommission of the waste, meaning the life span of the plant was important.She said it was therefore "exciting" that a way had been found in Japan to extend the life span of nuclear power stations.First Minister Alex Salmond is planning to rely on a mix of renewables and "clean" fossil fuel power stations fitted with technology to capture and store carbon emissions.However, Prof Glover warned that there were "a lot of technological problems to be addressed" when it came to carbon capture and storage technology. Just a few hours later, when asked on the Politics Show whether Scotland should use nuclear power in future, she replied: "I think that's an issue that's not for a scientist. That's an issue for government to decide."In contrast to her enthusiasm for nuclear power hours earlier, when asked in the afternoon interview about the future of nuclear in Scotland, she seemed to avoid discussing the issue directly. Instead, she said we must use less energy, and then spoke in support of developing renewable energy technology in Scotland.A spokeswoman for the Scottish Government would not comment on whether Prof Glover had been advised between interviews not to speak out in favour of nuclear.The spokeswoman said: "The view of the Scottish Government and Scottish people on new nuclear energy is absolutely clear. We are focusing on developing Scotland's real strengths in harnessing our vast, clean, green and renewable energy potential. Renewable technologies including wind, water, biomass, wave and tidal, backed up by clean thermal baseload, can meet our energy needs many times over."Prof Glover's comments followed criticism of Alex Salmond's stance on nuclear from both Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy and Mike O'Brien, energy minister, earlier this month.Prof Glover also warned yesterday she did not think we were taking climate change seriously enough."We are talking about the future of our whole planet," she said. "There really isn't uncertainty about this. The uncertainty is around how fast it's warming. It's not whether it's warming or not. There isn't any uncertainty about us causing the change."She added that we must all change the way we live. She argued that short haul flights should be banned, and said the business community should instead use video-conferencing for meeting

MY QUESTION IS THIS. DESPITE BEING LAZY(sitting at home writing down some of an interview with another) DO SCOTSMAN JOURNALISTS HAVE A CLUE OF THE TERMS "JOURNALISM", "REPORTING" and "THE TRUTH"

The article above, makes the above journalist about as usueful to the journalistic community as tits on a bull.

A call too protest - by Mandy barricades

Gob on their goujons
In these times of terror laws and increasing surveillance, the one party rule over trade unions and Student unions. The wind has been plucked out of the disaffected citizens soul. No longer can we assemble without being asked addresses, searched without reason and told to move on.

How do we fight back against the so-called political classes, as average people? Without spending weeks down the nick. How do you fight back anonymously? Yeah for the time being you can blog, but Blears and co want that shut down. How can you really fight back with the equivalent of a punch in the mouth?

One solution I have is to grog in a traitor’s tea. Whenever a politician buys foodstuffs in a takeaway, restaurant or supermarket. The disaffected could easily man handle their melons so too speak. What’s wrong with giving a tummy upset to someone who is essentially a shit bag anyway?

Someone who would happily send a teenager to a false war or let a pensioner freeze.

There was an essay year ago called digital cash. A way of arranging assassination dead pools by way of digital transfers of cash and the Internet. It had all the politicos shitting themselves.

This idea could be the real life public punch in the mouth.

Catering staff every where could be grogging in journo's sarnies, Mps' chiabattas or putting sand in mandelson's Vaseline.

Tesco's delivery drivers and order pickers could be polluting their pun nets and man handling their bananas (mandelson’s deliverer is excused this task.)

I here recently that rates of stomach bugs, skitters and sore throats have ravaged through Scotsman, North British Labour MSP's and senior civil servants from the 1970's
