Put George Osborne in the Dragons' Den

What a cheek! He tells public sector workers they can't have a proper pay rise then expects them to reduce so called waste when what's needed is more funding.

A 5% sale of RBS shares nets the Tax Payer a loss of £1 Billion and this twit of a Chancellor then tells government departments for £12 Billion in savings; YOU WHAT! Is that to make up for some of the overnight £1 Billion loss you just made for us George?

George that’s like me playing the Roulette wheel, placing all your money on green zero and watch 13 come up, then shrugging my shoulders when I have just lost you a massive one with nine zero's on the end.

George you’re making the situation worse not better.

Conclusion:- We have an incompetent Tory tw#t in charge of our country's finances. Never, not now, not in the future can a Tory Chancellor say that the nations finances are safe under their control.

"Bring privatised industries and companies back under Public control, including the Railways, Royal Mail and the Utility Companies".

The railway in Scotland is suffering under Dutch ownership and many more people want to travel. Let those who care run the railway as a service for passengers and the people and not the amateurs from abroad who want profit. Leave Caledonian Mcbrayne as it is, much loved in Scotland and it is not your's to sell or do as you please with.

The obvious way to get the economy going Mr Osborne would be to invest , invest in the green industry,renationalise electric, water, gas, buses, trains, banks,the NHS and most importantly invest in young people.In fact you might want to listen to Jeremy Corbyn I am sure that you could learn a great deal about being an honest and fair politician who puts the electorate before the city.

Dear Gideon, are you so afraid of being found out that you changed your name? Maybe you should have stuck to bibles.

Economics is based on numbers and statistics, and as gar as I can see, fails to recognise the people at the bottom, those homeless or poor through the fault of previous Chancellors, those jobless because their product is now cheaper to produce in China, or because the Tories of the 80s regarded destroying the rights and jobs of working people was an end in itself.

Gideon, you are not an Archangel, stick to the hotel room bibles.

Cast out the beam in thine own eye - commit to righting the wrong of your predecessors instead of wilfully persecuting the poor and needy, Oh, and stop giving away our assets - unless the state owns a proportion of profit centres, there will never be enough money to support the Welfare State as you won't tax your friends enough to take care of the people who didn't have a public school and Oxbrodge education.

With kind regards,

Alf

Stop wasting money on privatisation of public services. Remember the following formula:

PC = POC + SC + OC + IMC + RBC + EC + FC

(where PC = cost of Privatisation; POC = Cost of Public Ownership; SC = Shareholder Cost; OC - Cost of outsourcing process; IMC = Increased management pay costs; RBC = Rebranding costs; EC = Externalised efficiency costs (increased Income Support, and Unemployment Benefit, and Housing Benefit etc); FC - Fraud costs (eg G4S, A4E etc).

I am sure that you will make huge savings for the taxpayer if you apply this thinking.

George Osbourne really had better look closer to home with talk of efficiency. Both houses of parliament. Over staffed and over paid. Lets propose reduction of MPs to 500. House of Lords to 150. Reform the voting system to see that we do not waste our votes. That is before we examine their golden plated pensions. Deliver a more understandable legal system that does not need costly advice.

George Osborne! Stop ripping off the people's assets and selling them at a discount to your friends. The utilities and the railways, Royal Mail, communications infrastructure, NHS and public services should all be publicly owned and democratically controlled - for both justice and efficiency. And since we currently owned most of the RBS the opportunity should be taken to turn it into a public bank working for the public good.

To have sold RBS at a loss to public finances is surely an indication of gross incompetence which needs to be investigated thoroughly. The Chancellor is in derelection of his duties to the country. Do we know to whom he has sold RBS?

Public services belong to the public and if the public are not consulted properly about changing these services it could lead to general unrest among the majority of law abiding citizens with no political or trade union axe to grind.

Renationalise by paying the original share price less the theoretical amount of dividend paid since issue. No less fair than taxpayers subsidising the share price at issue, as everything was sold off well under value, and certainly no less moral than bailing out banks whose casino mentality caused the taxpayer to dig deeply to rescue them.

Now we have the intellectual Colossus at No 11 trying to convince us that selling something at a loss is some kind of financial miracle. Could somebody please buy him an abacus?
