Is the anti-racism scheme working?

Football has a problem, global and domestic within its sport. A problem which has had hundreds of thousands of pounds spent within the UK. But with so many top professional players showing their support towards the campaign against racism, such as Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs, is it being effective?

The financial income of the campaign was £871,000, down £90,000 from 2009-10. But of course not all aid is financial, with most football stars showing their support towards the anti-racism campaign. But all of this support and 15 years running, you’d think that racism has stopped, especially in top-level premier league players.

But on 20th December 2011, Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was suspended for eight matches and fined £62,000 for his racial insult at Manchester United defender Patrice Evra. This is a clear example that there is still racial comments towards black players within the world’s top league. Actions, like those by Suarez, undermine the work done by this campaign – supported by the top footballers in the UK.

But is isn’t just top footballers than have been using racist comments – lower league clubs like recently Charmouth Reserves, are using these derogatory insults. This is just as bad due to its impact to youth as the club’s atmosphere becomes a racist one.

Heavier fines, and longer match bands are needed to show supports and players that racism is not acceptable within such a broadcasted sport. That it has ripple implications, leading to young supports believe it is acceptable to use racist comments on and off the pitch. More money should be given to anti-racist organisations, as it is so important that we educate people how to behaviour, with the rising ethic minorities within the UK. Let’s make sure it doesn’t ruin such popular game, and let’s ‘kick racism out of football!’ for good!

 

Stop complaining, you have it good!

2011 saw many protests about governmental actions, pensions and tuition fees. People were protesting about their personal cut backs, blaming the private sector in ‘having the large pension schemes’. These statements have been under attack today with news from the Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA) stating that 9/10 private sector defined benefit schemes are now closed to new entrants.

Blaming the private sector for these cuts has to stop, else UK economic growth will drastically slow, and this is not what we need when we have a £163 billion deficit and a eurozone crash.

Public sector workers need to realise that we are in hard times, cuts need to be made. That their ‘jobs for life’ aren’t the same under a government which needs to make actions and fast to save us from being in the same position as Greece and other failing European economies.

This ACA statement should tell the government that they should not listen to the protesters, that if cuts need to be made they do not need to be on the private sector, but the diluted public sector. Next, it should tell the public sector protesters that they need to realise the cuts are needed, that they do not have the easy option with a ‘job for life’.

You wanted this!

As inflation is taking its toll on everyone’s lives, one of the big topics is the cost of rail fares. Next week will see 11% rise in ticket fares around the UK, due to the national wide-spread inflation.

But why do we need to have such a high ticket fares? In other European countries fare costs are considerably lower that UK fare prices. This is due to the state paying the majority of the fare. Their view upon the matter is that travelling by train is no different to  using motorways, therefore the state should pay the majority of the fare.

We nationalised our national rail service in the 1990s, meaning less taxes for our service. This means that although we have to pay higher fares, we don’t have to pay as high council tax as other European nations.

So when people protest about how fares are too high, they are ignorant of the fact that we have an increase in choice of rail service and lower taxes.

Nationalising the rail service was the right approach, for our ‘public services’, as it creates competition within the service improving standards. The rise in fares will lower accordingly  and expect lower fares when the eurozone is sorted, and stabilised, and when we leave this deep, deep depression.

DC: loving, caring?!

Firstly, I hope you all had a good new years and daily posts will start again!

The prime minister, David Cameron, released his new years message today – rounding up what is to be expected in 2012.

He gave hope, knowing that last year was tougher than expected with the eurozone crash, by telling people to enjoy the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 London Olympics.

This news is what people all around the UK have been looking forward to hearing. But also, that the problems people predict to face in 2012 will be tackled, that the government has already put in place proposals to limit the social impacts.

Through out his speech he creates a personal feeling, a feeling people do not associate with the ‘cold hearted’ Conservatives.

This speech is just what people needed, as they have just spent vast amounts of money in this deep depression, and that people have will have trust in this government so 2012 we become stronger and better off in an economic and social sense. Possible with this strong leader.

Missing something out!

2011 has been an eventful year for the government, having to make the necessary cuts to save our economy but then having to answer to the ‘state lovers’. This had led to all the attention going to the jobs cut within the public sector.

But what about the other side, the other people, employed by the private sector? Now in my mind the private sector is more important, as it will create the biggest revenue while being able to expand more easily.

The anti-cuts, pro-public sector groups have missed this out whilst complaining that their pension has shrunk among other things. But yesterday Barratts, a large shoe company, announced 1,610 employees are to be made redundant in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

This is an clear example of the lack of attention the private sector is getting, due to the government having to sort out those selfish, anti-capitalist sectors. The minds of these people may not change, but the government need to turn their attention to those people who need it most. More money needs to be released to start up companies, as the private sector is what is going to get us out of this financial downturn.

How long till they realize?!

When David Cameron stood by his British voters and vetoed the financial transitional tax, it showed the British people and the eurozone that there was one leader leading its nation into the right direction.

Results from a BBC Survey today tell that out of the 27 top economists asked, 1/5 said that the Euro Zone will not exist by the end of 2012.

These results show that top economists believe that the eurozone is a failing economic zone and that it is a lost cause.

The leaders should use these results to make a decision to leave and stop any future plans within the eurozone, including funding the failing economies like that of Ireland.

David Cameron should use these results to hold a referendum and listen to the public. This will not only benefit the economy, with fewer taxes and policies holding back growth of the markets and economy, but polls will rise from the 40% they received last week.

I believe that David Cameron will take these results and call a referendum in January, that he saw the political and economic benefits the veto gave theUK. He knows the public want the British bulldog attitude to continue.
