Glasgow Helicopter Hell

A police helicopter crashed into a packed pub in the center of Glasgow, Scotland, UK, last night killing at least 8 people and injuring dozens more.

The helicopter appears to have plummeted to the ground when its rotors stopped working.

Two police officers and a civilian pilot who were in the aircraft died along with at least five people on the ground who were enjoying a night out at The Clutha bar, close to the banks of the River Clyde in the heart of the city.

In a press conference this afternoon, Police Scotland Chief Constable Sir Stephen House said that 14 others remain in a serious condition in hospital.

More than 30 people were injured in total when the helicopter crashed into the pub at around 10.25pm as around 125 revelers watched a performance from a ska band.

Britain About to be Relegated

Britain is about to be relegated. From the Group of Seven “Leading” Economies all the way down to the ranks of the third world… and nearer the bottom there too.

At least the Daily Mail thinks so in a book review or something.

Relegation, every football manager’s nightmare, now looms on a national scale. Countries, like football teams, can slide down the leagues, and for Britain the pending demotion is traumatic – from the ranks of the first world to those of the third.

Britain is an undeveloping economy, a submerging rather than emerging market. Not only will 2014 mark 100 years since the start of the First World War, it will also be a century since we were last an undisputed economic leader and superpower.

In 1914, Britain would have been Manchester City in the league table of economic nations; today it is like Aston Villa, battling against relegation.

The signs are that this fight will be lost – and not simply because of the depressed state of our economy. More worrying are the indications that Britain is ceasing to be a developed economy and is now on course to swap places with one of the emerging economic giants.

Take our balance-of-payments problem. Britain last ran a current-account surplus in 1983. Since then, it has been in deficit. Worse, it has been borrowing money from countries such as China in order to buy goods made in, yes, China.

Then there is the steady sale of our commercial assets to foreigners. Overseas investors possess nearly £200 billion more of British assets than our investors own overseas.

Britain’s labour market is a mess – another sign of a relegation candidate. Many native workers, considered too unproductive and poorly trained to be of use, are paid beer money in the form of benefits to keep them quiet, while better qualified foreigners are recruited instead.

At the latest count, four million of Britain’s 29 million workers  were foreign-born. Two million Britons are registered as long-term sick, and 2.63 million are unemployed, using the broadest definition.

There is a permanent rumble of discontent from the customers of both State and private organisations. Public servants demand additional upfront payments, in cash or kind, before they will perform their tasks (police overtime, GP contracts).

A pseudo-competitive private sector in gas, water, railways and electricity conspires against the public, as companies conjure up ever-more inventive reasons to increase charges.

As with many countries in the developing world, there is chronic uncertainty about the authority of the State. In Britain, a separatist party is in control of a resources-rich  region (Scotland), while the potential constitutional flashpoints are many and various: Westminster versus Brussels; Ministers versus the still-new Supreme Court . . .

Finally, there is the search, at least among the political and media classes, for charismatic national leadership. Tony Blair and David Cameron have been fitted for this role, while Gordon Brown and Ming Campbell have been excoriated.

It has taken us 100 years to reach this sorry condition. Relative decline, against the United States in particular, may have been inescapable, but our pending relegation was never inevitable. There have been, perhaps, five major turning points.

The first was the decision after the First World War to rejoin the gold standard and expand our territorial empire. This terrible mistake weakened the economy, burdening Britain with costs it could not bear.

The second came after the Second World War and was the defence of an unrealistic pound/dollar exchange rate as we sought to play the part of a major power with unaffordable military commitments around the world. It was, in a different form, the same post-war mistake as before.

The third came from the abandonment of manufacturing industry in the Eighties and the squandering of North Sea oil. These are linked; while proceeds from the North Sea paid for millions to be unemployed, the effect of oil exports on the pound made sales of manufactured goods uncompetitive.

The fourth was the absurd over-reliance on finance and the City from 1986 to 2007. Not only did this unbalance the economy, leaving swathes of the national hinterland to rot, but it also helped build an enormous debt mountain under whose shadow we are now living.

The fifth mistake was the response to the 2007 crisis. For all the talk of ‘tough’ decisions, ours has been a ‘Barbra Streisand’ policy, seeking to get back to ‘the way we were’. The real objective has been to maintain the pre-2007 order: cheap credit,  free markets (for finance and big business), red tape (for small business), large-scale official interference in private lives and a vast apparatus of State officialdom.

Let no one say demotion is impossible. Had the Group of  Seven leading economies existed  in 1945, Argentina would have  been a member. But after decades of mismanagement, inflation and debt defaults, it no longer figures in anyone’s idea of the big league.

Yet Britain is in a state of denial, our leaders convinced that the economy is a winning side. The alternative is to accept that we are starting from scratch. Developing countries need a development model, and undeveloping countries such as Britain do too.

Two approaches are on offer. We could try to emulate the so-called Swedish model, with a social-industrial-government partnership and extensive public welfare, or we could aim to be an Atlantic Hong Kong, with minimum State interference, low taxes and only basic welfare services.

We must choose. It is our long-term refusal to do so that has led to our current predicament.

What’s to be done, babe?

Britain: Memories of What Might Have Been

Britain is an island. Thankfully! At least there is a natural barrier separating it from Europe. I mean there used to be. Until the Channel Tunnel unwisely happened. And it seems it was a major mistake on the part of Europe to allow Britain to burrow its way out under that natural obstruction and to break out of its God intended natural confines.

In fact, Britain is made up of a whole bunch of islands — but only one of them is large, relatively large that is.

But whether it is large enough to accommodate and/or sustain, even at a great stress, the ballooning population of Britain is another question, a search for more Lebens Raum beckons, I think, and Denmark seems to be in Britain’s crosshairs but more about that in my future posts.

Now to the subject-matter at hand.

The Southern part of the largest island in the “British” Isles is what is known as England. For about 100 darkest years in human history it was the very hard core of the British empire (now generally preceded by the word “rump”) but for all that it hasn’t quite been a thriving place ever, very much the opposite in fact. Great Britain was never “great” at home — even when the Imperial Britain was throwing its weight about literally on the other side of the planet, at home it remained a miserable down-trodden and corrupt place where people were never expected to live beyond the age of 35, where they were expected to work themselves to death for the benefit of their few upper caste betters and to suffer from rickets, syphilis and TB at an alarming rate whilst members of the upper classes pranced on the world stage and exercised their over-productive whiskey-marinated brains over how to bring yet more misery to visit on the human race and where there was a lot of intermarriage between members of the same families and as a consequence a lot of inbred idiocy (which ran in a thick vein in Britain even as late as the early nineteenth century) for lack of suitable means of transportation — people just couldn’t leave their little deprived villages or towns to look for partners — at least not until the bicycle was invented in the latter part of the 19th century, which invention somewhat improved the genetic health of the British over time (although problems evidently remain because inbred idiocy has a tendency to run deep and occasionally make it to the surface, witness some of the recent (and current) unelected British leaders).

Britain: Bright Future Denied?

The British Isles have always been and perhaps remain the focus of foreign attention. The kind of attention that comes at the tips of the swords of invaders, that comes crowded with armed people on board men-of-war or that comes as oblique fin-tailed gray shapes strapped under the wings of screeching dive bombers. Indeed, the British Isles were invaded, captured and occupied successfully more than any other land in Europe — at least half a dozen times. But the last three major attempts — by the Spanish with their ill-fated though undefeated Armada, by the victorious French under Napoleon and by the efficient Germans most recently led on by the Fuehrer [although the latter two never went beyond the planning and/or blockade stages] — were not successful or complete.

And it seems that the lack of successful recent foreign occupation is very much to the detriment of Britain!

Back to the future which is now — the British Isles are no longer an Atlantic flashpoint off the shores of Europe, and Britain’s two major neighbors — Germany and France — are no longer locked in dispute as regards sovereignty or their rights over the islands and, more importantly, do not seem to challenge the right, or indeed question the ability, of the British to govern themselves. But it is impossible not to note that the British Isles’ prospects have been severely hampered by continuing British ownership and British home rule.

Transport links between the British Atlantic offshore (aka Britain) and Europe are strong. But trade in the area is very much one-sided – restricted mostly to goods flowing from France and Germany to Britain with almost nothing coming in the other direction. Britain now has virtually nothing to export and what it does export is no longer British-owned anyway.

In the post-war years the Germans and the French invested heavily in their economies and societies. The French developed their agriculture, laid out crop fields and vineyards, built major car factories and nuclear power stations, built their bullet trains, whilst still preserving the beauty and the natural character of their vast countryside. The Germans expanded their Autobahn and Eisenbahn networks, built many industrial facilities and generally became the power house of Europe, if not of the whole world. There is little evidence that the British did something or anything similar — they didn’t have that much to invest anyway — it only took them until a couple of years ago to repay their war-time debt to America — but what little they had they squandered on trying to prop up their sagging empire anyway.

Today the British Isles, with a population of about 65 million, mainly British, just a couple of hours’ flight from Paris and Berlin, are typical British, un-European lands in their character, with villages and towns of dull brick terrace houses, shoddy bungalows, dilapidated farmers’ cottages, run-down industrial facilities and a few major grimy post-industrial cities. The infrastructure looks and is old and poor, and there is little hint of the oil wealth offshore in the Northern Sea or of the big money of the City of London.

Unfortunately the islands feel completely British, although it no longer means Anglo-Saxon or even Caucasian, and there is no mistaking the damp Atlantic climate and the dull foliage on the British Isles — it feels Atlantic offshore completely removed from the Continent of Europe and never its part. Outside the British cities and towns there is little to see but dull and polluted (even the bees have died out!) British countryside under gray clouds.

How different it all could have been!!!

If only the Germans had occupied the British Isles during World War II (and they would have succeeded, had they only set their mind on doing so) the British Isles could well have been a shiny bustling, modern, productive and well developed European land and a good asset to mankind (which it is not now), and wouldn’t have sent so many of its sorry citizens scurrying far and wide over the entire globe rather like cockroaches or even rats crapping all over the world, while the southern part of the largest island in particular would now be criss-crossed with modern railways and Autobahns and efficient Eisenbahns and modern industrial facilities turning out quality goods very much in demand all over the world and it is not too far fetched to say that even the climate would have been that much better.

It could have been!

Germany wake up, arise and do something about it! What needs to be done, and all will be forgiven!

No, you little ugly rag will never fly proudly over the globe, forget it — you were captured and are in a museum now!
