M2, lies deceit?
Its not spun at all, Osbornes 2015 budget was crafted with the sole intention of getting popularity backing for REMAIN by cutting benefits for the poor to provide tax cuts to the middle classes. According to the book Duncan Smith's resignation in protest left Cameron incandescent with rage he had no option but to resign but made sure he took Osborne with him. The final sentence on the passage about IDS pivotal involvement in brexit reads.

'The remain campaign had staked its success on convincing voters to trust their economic arguments. Now the chief Salesman of that strategy (Osborne) was damaged goods. Less than three weeks later David Cameron suffered the same fate'.

I thought Brexit was all about democracy and taking back control and here we are being dictated to by an unelected insane fascist.

Dangerous times...

Calling all 'weirdos and misfits': Dominic Cummings begins extraordinary No10 recruitment shake up





Gordon Rayner, political editor Danielle Sheridan, political correspondent
2 JANUARY 2020 • 8:12PM



Boris Johnson’s chief adviser has issued a call for “weirdos and misfits” to apply for jobs in Downing Street as plans to shake up Whitehall went into overdrive.

Dominic Cummings said he wanted to hire “true wild cards” and “people who fought their way out of an appalling hell hole” to transform the civil service, instead of “public school bluffers” with no real-world experience.

In a 3,000-word job advert on his personal blog, Mr Cummings suggested the ideal candidate might be a “Chinese-Cuban free runner from a crime family hired by the KGB” as he cited characters from science fiction novels as his inspiration.

In a broadside at political correctness, he railed against people in Whitehall “babbling...

Interesting excerpt from Tim Shipmans 'All Out War' on the relationship between Osborne & IDS.
'Duncan Smith's feud with Osborne dated back to the emergency budget after the 2010 election, when IDS refused to countenance cuts in his department until hed been guaranteed 2.5B to fund Universal Credit. IDS believed Osborne did not care about the poor & Osborne believed IDS was involved in a quasi religious mission to save them from themselves. A friend of Smith's said the two men couldn't be more different. Duncan Smith was a rural social conservative wedded to his principles, Osborne a metropolitan liberal who loved the game of politics.
Smith detected an Osborne plot and threatened to resign in Nov 2015 to stop Osborne raiding the Universal Credit Budget.
In the run up to the budget, attention fell on overspending by DWP on personal independence payments (pips) for 600,000 people with long term health problems. Duncan Smith's department had to respond to a court ruling that anyone who had to sit down to put on their shoes or required a handrail in the bathroom, was entitled to disability benefits in perpetuity.

Passage goes into say that Osbourne was charged with making a REMAIN budget which he did by cutting benefits to the vulnerable to support tax cuts for the middle classes, which ultimately lead to IDS resignation & support for LEAVE.
IDS deserving of his Knighthood? certainly appears so according to Tim Shipmans account.

"A natural catastrophe, animals, birds, reptiles, insects, endangered species exclusive to Australia that have been around since time began, we may be witnessing the extinction of many of them in our life time!"

And capitalism hasn't got a large say in all this?

Dear me.

LOL

Modern fire managers can learn much from Aboriginal fire practice.
Our land is burning, and western science does not have all the answers
