Globalists Milking Our Tax System

It seems that American globalists operating  in Britain have studied the Ken Dodd system of dealing with tax returns: the difference being that their actions should be no laughing matter.

Amazon’s UK operation generated £4.2bn of sales last year but it used its Luxembourg subsidiary to reduce its corporation tax bill in Britain to just £2.4m. Now here comes the laughing matter. The company received £2.5m  from our government in handouts over the same period. In other words they gained a million on tax.

As for Starbucks who have also played the tax avoidance game, last year they offered to make  a £20m voluntary contribution to the Exchequer in response to public outcry. Not a penny has been received so far.  Let’s drink our coffee elsewhere. Italian cafes provide a better cup at a cheaper price in my experience.

The main globalist in the box facing Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee has been Google, the search giant. It admits to doing the main work in London in selling advertising space in the UK, but billing through its Dublin office, so saving tax. It paid just £6m in corporation tax in 2011 on more than £3bn of revenues.

A further laugh in this costly story is that the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee is Margaret Hodge MP. She rightfully told an Amazon spokesman: “Its behaviour is not only unfair, it is anti-competitive, putting British businesses that do pay their proper tax at a disadvantage.”

Having Margaret Hodge as the chairman of the Committee reminds one of the poacher become gamekeeper.

She has a 9pc stake in her family’s Stemcor business which has a £6.3bn turnover an was founded by her father, Hans Oppenheimer. In year ending December 2011 it made a profit of £65.2m but only paid £157,000 in tax, equating to 0.01pc of its revenues.

 

Poles Are Not Africans

Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show that foreign-born workers have obtained more than half of the jobs available over the past year. The number has risen by 225,000 to 4.26 million, compared with a rise of 192,000 British-born men  and women who found work.

UKIP, plus most of the dailies are ‘banging on’ about this being more evidence that we must either get out of the EU or drastically reform it. I agree that with 2.5 million unemployed in Britain we should  be able to control who comes here in order to take British jobs or who does not. But contrary to the impression made by most of the media the ONS figures show that the bulk of the new foreign-born workers are from outside the EU, with 46,000 from Africa and 76,000 from the rest of the world.

Including dependents, there are now around a million people from the Baltic, mainly Polish, in Britain. There is certainly a case for saying this is too many. The Poles in particular may have too much of a liking for hard drink, but they are not afraid to work. In the long term they can be assimilated into our gene pool, where Africans can not without altering our European ethnicity.

Perhaps this view reflects my personal belief that although I reject the EU federal Europe concept (as does BDP policy)  Britain’s future lies in a confederation of sovereign European states. This is one of the distinctive features of  membership of the British Democrats. As long as we support  the basic principals of its policies we can differ on some issues.

 

No interference in Syria

As made clear elsewhere on this site the British Democrats are resolutely opposed to any British (or American come to that) interference in Syria. We fully support and respect our servicemen and women who should not be employed in fighting wars of no direct interest to Britain or Europe – this includes Afghanistan.

A few months back limited British aid was given to the French to put down Jihadist Moslem fundamentalists who were terrorising Mali in the southern Sahara. If the Jihadists were such a threat in Mali then why is our Government and most Labour politicians keen for us to arm Jihadist rebels in Syria?

Jihadist are Sunnis who subscribe to Wahhabism, an ultra-conservative branch of Islam originating in Saudi Arabia. They are violently opposed to “secular” Muslim states and to Shi’it es – who in Syria support Assad’s government.

Starting with its support for the misnamed ‘Arab Spring’, the West has mainly turned against those states implacably opposed to the jihadists,  foolishly thinking they would be replaced with perfect replica’s of Western ‘democracy’: Tunisia, Egypt, Gaddafi’s Libya and now Assad’s Syria. The same could be said about Shi’ite Iran and even Saddam’s Iraq. What has it all achieved, apart from gaining brownie points from Israel?

 

True Indigenous Brits

Peter Mills MA. PhD has produced a short 52-page book, The True Indigenous British, which he recently offered on this website to send to visitors free of charge. Although I have a few reservations on parts of its content, I would recommend it.

Peter’s book is not a history book, it is a political book which reflects concern about the cynical and deliberate official distorting of our history and prehistory by our governments and the various servants of government propaganda, not least the BBC.

He highlights the increasing politically-correct preference for downgrading the facts and effects of British history and culture and belittling the tremendous achievements with which Britain led the world in the past. He also exposes the prevailing fashion amongst our lacklustre politicians and their ‘subservient zombies’ of denying that there is any possibility of there being such a thing as actual and rightful indigenous British people in Britain. The mantra being fed by schools and universities today  is that despite all the evidence to the contrary there is no such thing as the indigenous British people, and ‘We’re all mongrels now”.  Thus we see why Peter Mills has given his book the subtitle of Genocide by Censorship.

It is where he moves on to the ethnic or racial history of these islands  that I would suggest one or two amendments.

He supports a growing view that about 80% of Britons’ genes came from the hunter gatherers who came here at the end of the Ice Age 12,000 years ago. Then he seems to support the view that Angles, Saxons and Vikings were of different races not only to each other but to the Neolithic inhabitants of our islands. (He seems to be unaware that Normans were  Vikings who had settled in Northern France.) Furthermore, these latter tribes were far less numerous than originally believed, despite the fact that it is their common Germanic language that has given us the names of all our villages, towns and geographical features with virtually no Celtic names remaining in England – or words in the English language.

DNA testing now shows that the  Northern and North Western people hardly changed genetically since the Ice Age, which means that ethnically the Neolithic Britons (who stemmed from Northern Spain) were little different from the invaders between 400 AD to 1066.

Peter gives some interesting information on languages, showing that over ten thousand years not only have all European languages been connected but they share roots with Sanskrit of India, and it is suggested that  the Indo-European languages originated in what is now the Ukraine(p.33). That I find very interesting in that Professor Bryan Sykes in his book exploring genetic roots of our tribal history, Blood of the Isles, says that the Danish Viking clan Wodan originated some 20,000 years back in the area of the  Ukraine.

To Frack or Not To Frack

The British Democrats is not a single issue party, as you will see by clicking on ‘Saving Britain: Our Policies’. We have been looking at all energy sources, ranging from  prohibitively expensive wind turbines, the need for latest design nuclear power reactors, to solar energy. We are a radical party that needs to show that we will look at all technical alternatives for meeting our ever-demanding energy requirements.

As an individual with some past technical knowledge of the petroleum industry I am suggesting that we should have a closer look at fracking to see if it can be a safe method of releasing shale gas from suitable rock strata in the UK.

The evidence is slowly mounting that its opponents, mainly led by the water melon party (green on the outside  but red inside), have grotesquely exaggerated the supposed environmental risks of fracking.

Over 100,000 wells, mainly in America, have been hydraulically fracked  and contrary to anti propaganda not one person has been poisoned by contaminated water, nor a single building damaged by the almost undetectable seismic tremors sometimes released. The Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering concluded unequivocally that any “health, safety and environmental risks associated with hydraulic fracturing…can be managed effectively in the UK as long as operational best practices are implemented and enforced”.

Britain could be sitting on shale gas reserves far larger than we ever dreamed of. They may even be on  the scale that has boosted America’s economy with a boost in jobs by lowering gas prices to a third of the UK level. Or it might  be a completely unsuitable technology for densely populated Britain and even cause some of the problems claimed by its detractors. But we will never know unless we carry out more testing and drilling is allowed for two or three pilot operations.
