It's OK being a Janitor ...

... said the doctor, lawyer, politician, the economic patricians of this world, anywhere in the world for there is little difference, the reality is the janitor, the janitors wife, the janitors children, they all share the janitors lot in life.  The janitor is of course the metaphor for anyone who might be regarded as one of the little people, described as proletariat by some British politicians.

But far worse than the label is this concept by our new aristocracy that the little people of Britain, or anywhere in this world, need to "know their place in the social order", and although a little more subtle in the USA, in the land of the free this same social order exists today.

So the search for justice is to no avail for our janitor, his wife, his children, they will never become stakeholders in today's society, the new aristocratic families of politics will assure that societies order is maintained, by David Cameron, by Edd Miliband, by President Obama, by Mitt Romney ...

In Birmingham this week Iain Duncan Smith, Work and Pensions Secretary who has never been a janitor, says...

"We will have to take more money out of welfare" 

We will have to squeeze the Janitor !

For the janitors of Britain it is time to brush down the cloth cap, and practice the doff in deference to the new aristocracy......

Iain Duncan Smith is of course FoS, and decorated with the FoS award for services to Janitors, wherever they might live and work, and of course their families ...

I would prefer the Janitor to become a stakeholder in this brave new world ....

FoS politics, Bovine TB, Badgers, and ..

... farmers.

The facts according to the farming community ...

............................. anything you want ...............................

The facts according to the government ...

............................. anything you want ...............................

You get the idea, the facts are exactly how you need them to support your position.

The latest in this sorry tale from the Guardian ... Full-scale badger cull set to get government go-ahead
The facts according to Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine, the document in full, relating to Transmission of Bovine TB ...

M. bovis can be transmitted by the inhalation of aerosols. by ingestion. or through breaks in the skin. The importance of these routes varies between species. Bovine tuberculosis is usually maintained in cattle populations, but a few other species can become reservoir hosts. Most species are considered to be spillover hosts. Populations of spillover hosts do not maintain M. bovis indefinitely in the absence of maintenance hosts, but may transmit the infection between their members (or to other species) for a time.  Some spillover hosts can become maintenance hosts if their population density is high.

There are two imperatives ...

reservoir hosts and spillover hosts

Cattle are the reservoir and in Britain the Badger is the spillover.

The only logical answer to the problem of Bovine TB is to remove the reservoir, that's the cattle.

... so when our MP's cry foul, when the call for a Badger Cull is shouted down, remember Iowa, the veterinary college that speaks the truth .... politicians are so FoS, so dishonest to discount evidence.
 

How does Mitt Romney sell ...

... it to the peoples of the USA, when he speaks of a nuclear-armed Iran, will his words ...

"The threat it would pose to Israel, the region and the world is incomparable and unacceptable," 

he added that the US had ...

"a solemn duty and a moral imperative to deny Iran’s leaders the means to follow through on their malevolent intentions".

Are they empty words designed to garner support for his political ambitions, or do they represent a deep seated conviction that would be the foundation of his foreign policy were he to be elected to the Presidency on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 ?

The words that seem to underpin his feelings concerning Iran are ...

incomparable
unacceptable
malevolent
intentions

... there doesn't seem to be a diplomatic imperative amongst them, more a declaration of war !

... will the electorate of Ohio or Oregon vote for a Romney war, or is he another FoS politician ?

This weeks FoS award goes to ...

... a most miserable politician the Conservative Robert Halfon MP for Harlow.

Friday last ...............

.................. Shami Chakrabarti , director since September 2003 of the British civil liberties advocacy organisation Liberty,was amongst 8 people chosen to carry the Olympic flag during the opening ceremony.  Introduced to the audience with quite profound words ...

"We salute her integrity"

...  she certainly stands out as a person who represents peace, democracy and social justice.

Now Halfon thinks otherwise, he described her as a "pressure groupie Chakrabati", the paltroon couldn't even spell her name correctly.  Fortunately for the little people of the UK and the World Shami Chakrabarti has more influence than Halfon, we prefer the search for Justice to the grandstanding of a right wing non-entity politician.


So to the FoS politician, the FoS award ...
