Madness and it is getting worse!!

http://www.thegwpf.org/britains-85-bill ... -policies/

Britain’s climate policies combine to a mind-boggling amount of subsidies and departmental spending, which will drastically increase in the next few years.

Major economies such as Canada, Australia and Japan have now begun to curtail and abandon their unilateral climate policies and targets,” he said. “It does not make any sense that the UK alone is accelerating its exorbitant spending.”

Long past time to derail this particular and odious gravy train

It looks like the UN has plans to drasticly increase the sum of money the UK currently wastes on climate change and wealth redistribution.

http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?N ... nergy&Cr1=
Quote:
27 November 2013 – The United Nations and the World Bank today announced a concerted effort by governments, international agencies, civil society and the private sector to scale up efforts to provide sustainable energy to all, with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon calling for massive new investments in the face of a rising “global thermostat.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said:
Quote:
“Sustainable energy is the golden thread that connects economic growth, social equity, a stable climate and a healthy environment,”

World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said:
Quote:
Mr. Kim stressed that financing is key, with $600 billion to $800 billion a year needed from now until 2030 to reach the goals for access to energy, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

Mr Ban then went on to say:
Quote:
Mr. Ban praised achievements already attained such as Brazil’s ‘Light for All’ programme that has reached 15 million people, Norway’s commitment of 2 billion kroner ($330 million) in 2014 for global renewable energy and efficiency, and Bank of America’s Green Bond that has raised $500 million for three years as part of its 10-year $50 billion environmental business commitment.
He also lauded OPEC’s (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) announcement of a
$1 billion fund for energy access.
Presumably, since the sum of those example numbers that Mr Ban mentions above don't come anywhere near close to the $600 to $800 billion he and and the UN wants to spend every year until 2030, the £85 billion over ten years the UK is currently wasting is going to rise very steeply in order to satisfy the UN.

This World Bank publication confirms the UN report above:
http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press- ... gy-for-all
Where we read this statement where Kandeh Yumkella, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative and Chief Executive for Sustainable Energy for All says:
Quote:
We will continue to work with key stakeholders to achieve sustainable energy for all, to drive action that transforms lives.
What he isn't explaining is; by “CHANGED LIVES” he means reducing us to extreme poverty, and reliant on unaffordable, unreliable wind powered electricity that threatens our very lives.

The question we should all be asking our LibLabCon representitive is: Who is ruling over the UK; the UN, the EU, or elected Westminster? By now we should all know the answer to that question - and it isn't the elected Westiminster that rules the UK.

Chris Train, a senior director of the National Grid, reveals the true mindset of the political and globalist elite towards we ordinary folk. Train claims that electricity is a “luxury”:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... uxury.html
Quote:
A power boss sparked uproar yesterday by saying the amount of electricity families in Britain use is a ‘luxury’.
The extraordinary claim by Chris Train, a senior director of the National Grid, coincided with energy companies refusing to rule out more price rises.
Mr Train warned that providing ‘the luxury of electricity that we desire’ would mean customers paying billions more to upgrade the power network.
Train and his partners in crime have forgotten that the national grid and the power stations that feed it were constructed using taxpayers' money. It was never the Government’s to sell in the first place. Now Train and his elitist colleagues are clearly saying that electricity is a “luxury” that they can charge us anything they like for – even though it means severe deprivation, suffering, and death for the vulnerable.

Train and his elitist friends, including the LibLabCon political criminal supporters, have finally revealed that they are ruthless, heartless, vicious, selfish, greedy, power-crazy aggressive psychopaths.

What's going on is quite evil because I already know people desperately struggling to pay their gas and electricity yet massive increases are planned for the future.

As much as I don't trust either of them it will only take one party to promise to seriously reduce energy bills and they could get in.

I read recently that a few years ago the energy companies were making about £250m a year in profit, it's now nearer to a billon each so they have quadrupled their profit at customers expense. how can they justify this ?

Jon, you are quite right. On the understanding that 'evil' is the total absence of all rightfulness, then 'evil' perfectly describes the people and the political policies behind the whole of the current energy supply system and the 'green' agenda that defines and supports it all.

We are not far away from a political system that equals that which herded millions of innocents into death camps and gas chambers. The whole of the 'green agenda'; which happens to be fully supported by the LibLabCon, the EU, and the UN; is a death cult through and through. And not being content with herding us towards our deaths, the elitists expect us to pay for our own suffering in a manner that simulates the extraction of gold teeth from the inmates of those death camps of 70 years ago. Property confiscation, taxes, and ever-rising prices for essentials are the modern equivalent of the shakedown that all arrivals at the death camps experienced. It is evil!

Shanghai tops global school tests, UK 'stagnates'


The UK is being systematically turned into a Banana republic.

Vietnam's school kids do better than ours!!

Sample questions are here http://www.oecd.org/pisa/test/

They are not difficult. Kids one year away from GCSE's should be able to answer these!!

Example
Image

Level 3 question.
Which motor has the smallest engine size?

Only 55% of UK 15 year old's could answer this!
China scored 89%

What is the problem? The system or the level of teaching?

The point being when the population has been dumbed down enough they are far more likely to accept what the news channels are telling them!! Has education got better over the years? I don't think so, I only had the benefit of a secondary modern education (was moved around a lot as a kid some years as many as 3 schools as father was in RN) and left full time education at 16 with O levels in Maths and English but I can answer these questions

So if you look at and sort:

1.79
1.796
1.82
1.783

45% of our kids got it wrong !!!!!

1.783
1.79
1.796
1.82

Sorted :)

You pose the question: “What is the problem? The system or the level of teaching?”
The answer is: Both the system and the quality of teaching, plus several other politically inspired factors.

Regarding the politics and the quality of teaching. There is very little prospect for the standards of education in UK schools ever rising to a satisfactory level because the LibLabCon political will is just not there. Actually, I suspect the political will is to debase the education of our children and disadvantage them in the world economy. Even for those who are fortunate enough to gain a reasonable education today, the prospects of a meaningful and rewarding life-long employment are even more remote than a high quality State education. We must not lose site of the fact that the EU has designated the UK's prime role is as a tourist destination - where low skilled employment is the order of the day, such as fast food outlets.

We have been told by the political class that all new applicants into the teaching profession are to hold appropriate degrees. This would suggest to the public that all would-be teachers of mathematics are required to hold a meaningful degree in mathematics before being accepted onto a teacher training course. Sadly that is not the case. Yes, all would-be teachers of mathematics are now required to hold a degree, but not necessarily in mathematics - which does make a mockery of the prerequisite of having a degree.

Until the political class actually do what they imply they are doing in their endless messages for raising educational standards, and insist upon improving the in-subject educational standards of aspiring teachers, then nothing is ever going to improve the education of our secondary school children. Even so, there are many other politically correct policies that also act to prohibit the possibility of significantly improving the education of our children – such as the political obsession with sex and deviance.

Geezer, You are quite right to point out that a poorly educated generation is unable to see through political treachery that successive LibLabCon governments have engaged in. And that is where lowering the voting age to 16 comes in - even voting at 18 is far too young.

I would go so far to say that even instilling the idea that to get anywhere you have to have a university degree is these days misleading.

You are right Westonman some, hell of a lot of degree courses are next to useless I cite media studies as one but it would count when trying to get a teaching role!!

Kids pretty much have to go to university these days otherwise the don't/won't get on. This is impressed upon them pretty much as soon as they enter secondary school.

Banks win as the kids have to take out huge loans to pay for both the educational element and of course the cost of living during the course. They are still raking in interest on these loans many years after the pupil has left.

The public sector wins as more teachers/lecturers/admin posts are needed to run the places. Education is now a major part of the UK economy. Government is happy as it keeps these kids off the unemployment figures and of course I have already mentioned the employment bonus.
