Getting screwed by the boom ?

Tonight we are once again in Britain being told our economy is growing . Apparently 250,000 more people have gained employment . Unfortunately these are part time , low payed jobs . No body is winning here . Oh hold on , yes someone is winning ! Big business must be laughing . They have everything they ever wanted . Wages not keeping place with inflation , and a steady supply of money from the banks who have borrowed from bonds created by the government at a interest rate of half a %  . That's artificially created money too ! The final winners however are the banks again as now employment has grown interest rates may be raised safely . Raised for who ? Oh , yes us !  That will be mortgages and credit cards then . We loose again while all this new money comes nowhere near us unless its to screw us . Not good and no hope for the future..
   The older I get the more I dislike capitalism . A business , a small business struggles to make a profit . After generations of government they have made sure of this . If it wasn't for accountants moving figure around to various benefits in yearly accounts few business's would survive . Unless you run a small business you will not know this , Its a taboo ive not yet heard broken . Not good . Capitalism does encourage competition in the small , but fixes profit for the large company's . Its loaded and it stinks . It props up the status quo .

Emma Crosby

Emma Crosby . Where do I begin ? She is , and always has been my favourite news reader around , but why ? Firstly I never tire of her classic good looks , her relaxed unhurried reading style or her creamy English rose of an accent . The fact also that she has never as ive seen made a mistake on air adds to my admiration of her ! When she interviews guests she appears genuinely interested in their views , though I guess this could be faked , but Im not sure it is at all . All in all my daily dose of Channel 5 news is made all the sweeter for her presence . How many news programs can you say that about ?  

P.S    Maybe its that cheeky wink she finishes each program with !     http://youtu.be/5CRSEOkZZ5c
