George, how could you? Another fine mess you’ve gotten us into – NOT!

Can comments by George Osborne, or anyone else, really damage
Gordon Brown, along with the rest of Blair’s team, have been escalating the devaluation our money on the sly, behind our backs, ever since getting into power 12 years ago. Here is the proof - straight from the telly - so it must be true!
In the recent hit tv show on the BBC “The Supersizers Go - 70s,” the annual wage of a successful advertising executive in the 1970s was a handsome £20,000 and is described by the actor taking part in the program as being the equivalent now of a £190,000 salary. How is your maths?
£190,000 is almost £200,000. Let’s call it £200,000 to make it clear. Get it?
You add a nought, and you move the comma to get the roughly equivalent value now.
£20,000 in the seventies = almost £200,000 in 2008!
What does this mean? Well, the executive salary comparison is clearly accurate. What about property? A house might have been valued at £17,000 in the seventies and modest houses are about £160,000 to £170,000 now, ( well over-priced in the south though, but now slowly deflating - which is probably good ) so that is a reasonable comparison.
Let’s think about food prices though.
Food prices in
A loaf of bread that cost 30 pence in the 70s should cost £2.99-3.00 now!
A tin of baked beans costing 9 pence in the 70s should now cost 87-90 pence!
A medium whole chicken at £1.50 should be £14.50-15.00 now,
Pork at 65p per lb should be £6.45-50 per lb ( a pound is just over a half kilo!)
A pound of rice at 25p should be £2.00 - 2.50 now.
But they aren’t though, are they? Not all food is out of kilter like this but a great deal of it continues to be phenomenally cheap in
Shoes - £18.00 in the 70s should be £180.00 now!
Anorak - £25.00 in the 70s should be £250.00 now!
Jeans £35.00 in 70s should be £350.00 now!
While all these lovely low food prices have been gradually adding inches to our national average girth, whole generations of young people have grown up believing this is normal. Add to that all the cheap imports of every kind of consumable from 3rd world countries – especially
Now that food seems to be starting ( yes, starting, it still has a long way to go!) to adjust to somewhere near its correct value, younger people (under 45) and hopeless older people with sawdust for brains (sadly there are millions of these in Britain) can and are, allowing themselves to be duped ( as usual ) into believing the latest cooked-up fairy story:
This one is all about rising food prices being down to terrible, sudden, shocking food shortages all around the world. A sort of Food Shortage -Tsunami washing over us all! Oh, and the “credit crunch”, and fuel shortages too!
Why? Why might a government engineer all this?
Well, the cheap prices of food and consumer goods over the last 15-odd years have encouraged the British people to believe that they can live indefinitely within an artificially low budget, and has led many to feel confident enough to take out large mortgages in business and in housing. We have also been persuaded by advertising and media programs to take on large loans and have been encouraged by advertising and the false perception of consumer confidence to run up high credit card debt.
But we now know it was a trap! Many of us, most of us perhaps, are stuck in that trap. It is all explained in this excellent short film which I strongly advise you to watch:-

The super-wealthy have simply decided that now is about the right time for them to clean up and consolidate their power. They do this every so often. They pace it perfectly. About every seventy to eighty-odd years, so no lucid old-timers are left from the last crash to warn the young about might be about to happen again. It is less messy for them that way! There’s less blood to be cleaned up! And, most importantly, they can appear all innocent and bewildered!
The British Government of NuLabor have ensured that the Elite can easily take our property off us. Then their
The mainstream media have now been programmed to endlessly promote and spin the “credit crunch” “food shortages” “oil shortages” line. This will be repeated over and over and over and over again and again and again until we believe it - which is why they are referred to as programs because we are being programmed - to believe the latest fantasy! It has already started. The papers and tv are full of it and will continue to be so for a long, long time.
It is in reality, a crafty, very clever confidence trick enabling the Government to shirk responsibility for the devaluation of our currency which, I believe, has been deliberately engineered as part of a bigger plan to demoralise the British people ( and the people of the world ) still further and force through dangerous legislation. Like the coming global monetary system “Britain Woods 2” that Brown is now cooking up with the other world leaders, while we are all hypnotised by celebrities dancing and skating over reality, and distracted by the Baby P Tragedy. A convenient smokescreen, sickening but typical!
Oh, and another Beatles recording has recently been found. And a Yeti’s been spotted, and a weeping Madonna statue, what about Polar Bears, and UFOs? Er, its all
Brown’s phoney Britain Woods or LaRouche’s genuine Bretton Woods?
