it's all part of a big global agenda, just as it says in Agenda 21 (UN release). For the short version; use taxes * costs to drive up the costs in the western countries, then companies move their production to the 3rd world countries (banks own them - IMF) where it's cheaper + where they can ignore most environmental laws where in the west they have to follow driving up costs; so less for the share hold & CEO of the company.

Why do you think there pushing all this Carbon Tax, or tax on everything ...... to line the global banker's pockets + to take most wealth in most western countries into the small few pockets who control the 3rd world countries.
It all started right back in the 60's for the uk, the writing was on the wall then but people choose to ignore at there own loss starting with closure of the small sized cottage industry of many types -Beeching report then small coal pits etc It's all in history on how we got to the point we are now.

Most people in the UK blame the government at the time but there bigger forces at working behind the scenes Eg: financing to move else where just like US government gave to GM to move to South China. They name this plan a future improvement/development plan, tell you there's funding; this amount to increase the number of jobs here & there but it really means most is going direct to the company to move their place of operation to some where cheaper in 5 years time with tax payers money then people are shocked when the company shutting up shop, only to move else where...... I say wake up, smell the coffee - there no such thing as a free lunch any more with government finance they own you after taking it.

Anyone can blame any party they like in any year, but the simple answer their all the SAME, do the same thing, make the same pefect mistakes etc.
Who ever you voted for don't even bother again till the whole system is changed to more open one that's my main point why bother if you going to have a different party singing off the same hymn sheet as the last one?

Tories + Labour + Libs = corrupt governments/leaders :dozey:

I'd say more corrupt than police officer you see walking down a street....
I just wish more people wake up than follow the masses like flock of sheep then complain after they voted them in..... any sense at all; none that I've seen so far.

Sorry if I've gone away from the topic here...
