FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

This is the extraordinary week when government debt soared above £1trillion. It is also the week in which the BBC redoubled its attack on the Coalition’s attempts to get spending under control.
First the Corporation turned its wrath on Iain Duncan Smith, joining handwringing bishops and Left-leaning peers in lambasting his plans to cap benefits at £500 a week per household.
Never mind that countless hard-working taxpayers have to make do with much less than the £35,000-a-year they would need to earn to take home money like that. Or that self-reliant families often have to endure the disruption of moving house, either to find work or because they can no longer afford their homes.
Bias: The creditable reforms of both Andrew Lansley (left) and Iain Duncan smith (right) have attracted the criticism of the BBC this week
To the publicly funded BBC, with its incurable state-sector mentality, every cut in government spending is a human tragedy, beside which the hardships of taxpayers count for nothing.
Sure enough, Mr Duncan Smith’s efforts to free the jobless from the welfare trap were presented as a callous attack on the vulnerable, driving families out of comfortable homes into poverty.
Wouldn’t millions the world over relish the chance of ‘poverty’, if it meant £500 a week for doing nothing?
Yesterday, it was Health Secretary Andrew Lansley’s turn to feel the rough edge of Auntie’s tongue, as Radio 4’s Today programme seized on a Commons report critical of his NH S reforms. Wasn’t he guilty, he was asked repeatedly, of presiding over the c-word – cuts?
How refreshing it would be if, just once in a while, the BBC looked at the world from the point of view of taxpayers (and licence-fee payers).
But no. While vaguely accepting that Britain is in the grip of a monumental debt crisis, the Corporation attacks every measure put forward to deal with it.
Powerful: Writing in The Daily Mail, former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey has criticised his fellow bishops who opposed a cap on benefits
Isn’t this precisely the policy of the Labour Party? And is it any wonder that Ed Miliband, with his nonsensical economic strategy and his twisting and turning over welfare reform, is floundering in the polls?
As the former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey argues so powerfully on this page, it is not the opponents of cuts who occupy the high moral ground.
For the ‘greatest moral scandal’ facing Britain today, he says, is the sheer scale of that £1trillion debt we are bequeathing to future generations. And in a clear rebuke to the five bishops who voted with Labour against the benefits cap, he adds: ‘I can’t possibly believe that prolonging our culture of welfare dependency is in the best interests of our children.’
The leaders of the liberal Establishment, who have done such damage to our economy and society, should study Lord Carey’s wise words – and hang their heads in shame.
Affront to justice
In a statement that will provoke much hollow laughter, the president of the European Court of Human Rights claims his tribunal has had an ‘overwhelmingly positive’ impact on British life.
Oh, yes? This is the body which, only last week, blocked the deportation of Al Qaeda hate preacher Abu Qatada.
These are the cardboard foreign judges, accountable to nobody but themselves, who presumed to overrule the clearly expressed will of people and Parliament when they insisted that British prisoners should be given the right to vote.
And this is the court which has sided again and again with criminals against their victims and trouble-makers against the law-abiding.
Today, David Cameron launches a drive to reform the ECHR. The Mail wishes him every success in restoring British justice, for centuries the guarantor of our liberties, to her rightful throne.

dont know which universe that was in, but it certainly was not this one…….European Court of Criminal Rights (ooops did i get that wrong?) is a waste of space – half the judges should sort out the human rights atrocities in their own countries before they try to meddle in someone elses

Lord Carey’s remarks are straightforward common sense.

Just think of the extra spur this will give to all those waiting, potential illegal
immigrants across Asia , Africa and elsewhere – wangle yourself in, keep
your head down for a couple of years, then find a friendly lawyer who will
shower you with free legal aid, and then ensure that you can join the queue
for that guaranteed £500 a week, just by putting your feet up and watching
telly! Paradise isn’t just a place with numerous virgins on tap – it’s right here in the UK with unlimited free benefits, courtesy of an insane government and it’s brain-washed electorate!+++Thank God for some sense from Carey at last! Any
chance he could mount a putsch against the Lambeth Beardie and restore some sanity there?+++More strength to Dave’s arm in Strasbourg! To think
that we, in the UK who virtually invented “the Law” have to obey “Judges” from such shining examples of legality as Bulgaria, Romania, Albania and everywhere else you can “buy” justice for the price of a drink or a favour!!

“Wouldn’t millions the world over relish the chance of ‘poverty’, if it meant £500 a week for doing nothing?” They already do, that’s why we have so many thousands of scroungers from overseas risking life and limb to get across Europe to the land of promise that was the UK.
