193. Cameron to appoint new Personal Hygiene Czar – Telegraph Blogs

Concern about declining standards of personal hygiene have inspired David Cameron's Coalition government to appoint a Personal Hygiene and Cleanliness Supervisor who will advise Britons on how to get the most out of their Personal Hygiene and Cleanliness routines, especially when they use the loo."One of the problems associated with toilet use is that people tend to consider it a private moment in their lives in which the government has no business whatsoever," said the Prime Minister, yesterday, proudly deploying the word "toilet" lest anyone imagine he had been expensively-educated. "But we intend to change that. Without proper government scrutiny, we cannot be at all sure that people are wiping their bottoms properly or not dribbling on the seat or remembering to pull up their flies. The social consequences of this could be horrendous, especially in the run-up to the Olympics when the eyes of the world will be on Britain. We want to send out a clear message: skid marks have no place in the Big Society."Though David Cameron has attracted mockery from some quarters over the appointment of what cynics have christened the Poo-Poo and Wee-Wee Czar, he is adamant that it will give the British economy just the fillip it needs as it teeters on the brink of a new Great Depression. "No it will, really. Every street in Britain will have a Personal Hygiene Co-ordinator who will report directly to the Department of Cleanliness, which will create at least ten million new 'Brown Jobs'.'

194. Americans! Please stop calling us Europeans! – Telegraph Blogs

The Cousins have finally clocked the EU for what it is: a corporatist, protectionist, anti-American racket. Heaven knows it took them long enough. For decades, they did everything they could to encourage political integration, pouring money into the European Movement, ending every summit with a demand for deeper union.Not any more. Most Americans are now watching in dismay as their country becomes 'more European' – by which they mean more timid, more centralized, more regulated and more indebted. At CPAC over the weekend, speaker after speaker was applauded for tearing into the Brussels model.

195. Why did self assessment Income Tax decline so much at the 50% rate?

In 2008-9, well into the financial crisis, the UK state raised £22.5 billion in Self Assessment Income Tax, with a top rate of 40%. The following year, the last year at 40%, saw another £21.7bn collected.The 50% rate then introduced was assumed by the Treasury to yield a lot more self assessment income tax, as high payers usually have to complete the self assessment process and are an important part of that total. In the June 2010 forecast the Treasury looked forward to raising £29.2 bn from self assessment in 2012-13, and £32,5bn in 2013-14. These forecasts were reduced steadily in successive years. So what actually happened?

196. Global Warming? Yeah, right | Telegraph Blogs

Have a look at this chart. It tells you pretty much all you need to know about the much-anticipated scoop by Anthony Watts of Watts Up With That?What it means, in a nutshell, is that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – the US government body in charge of America's temperature record, has systematically exaggerated the extent of late 20th century global warming. In fact, it has doubled it.

197. Occupy are not the solution: they embody the problem – Telegraph Blogs

The other day I had a dig at Occupy St Paul's. It didn't make me popular with our menagerie of house trolls, most of whom felt I wasn't entitled to an opinion because I had been privately educated or because I don't transcribe press releases from Greenpeace or because I'm called James Delingpole and therefore totally evil. But one or two of the newbie trolls actually had a brave stab at making an argument.By criticising the Church's craven decision to appease the Occupy mob by proposing to erect a memorial in their honour, the argument ran, I was defending the Bankster/Corporatist establishment and, by extension, everything that is rotten with the modern world.Here's the weird thing though: I agree almost entirely with this analysis. As I've argued before, the greatest division in the Western world today lies not between rich and poor, working class and upper class, or Left and Right, but between on the one hand the rapacious, unaccountable Bankster/Corporatist/Political establishment and on the other everybody else. Why then, aren't I standing with the Occupy St Paul's crowd right now, making this point more vociferously?Simple. Because though my analysis of the problem may be quite similar to the Occupy crowd's, my solution couldn't be more different. This is why – as the above video explains – Tea Party types like me are unlikely ever to find common cause with Occupy. We're classical liberals who believe in low taxes, limited government, property rights and equality of opportunity, whereas they are progressives who believe in greater government control and wealth redistribution in order to create equality of outcome.

198. Climate scientists: not evil, maybe a bit stupid, definitely in a world all of their own –...

The Durban climate conference has been an abject failure. But that hasn't stopped those who were there desperately trying – with all the plausibility of Monty Python's Black Knight – to spin their disaster as though it represents some kind of massive triumph. Among them is a man named Michael Jacobs, formerly climate adviser to Gordon Brown.In his Guardian column today, Jacobs argues that "the conference that has ended in Durban, South Africa, amid considerable drama, should be regarded as very much a success."I disagree. And today we met on Sky News to discuss it.By the time Jacobs left he was not a happy bunny. He left the set very quickly, apparently not a little discombobulated that I had just accused him (off camera, unfortunately) of talking "weapons-grade b***ocks". But then, he had started it by turning to me immediately after we'd done our recording and saying: "You are entitled to your opinion. What you are not entitled to are your own facts."

200. Hello Obama second term; bye bye Western Civilization – Telegraph Blogs

"Can't wait for the leftards' misery when Romney wins. It will be like eating foie gras to the sound of trumpets." @jamesdelingpole on Twitter last week.Well: I think that's what they call a 'hostage to fortune.' And, of course, I don't remotely blame all the leftards who've been blowing raspberries in response. I'm sure I would have done just the same had our positions been reversed.Nonetheless it seems to me that the victory the Obamaphiles have won is entirely Pyrrhic. In what way, I would like to ask them, is a second term for a proven failure a good thing? On the evidence of Obama's four years in power so far, what exactly have they seen that augurs so well for the next four years of the American presidency?Was it his resolute decision to sacrifice the lives of four brave men in Benghazi, perhaps?Or was it his truly heartwarming eagerness to reward his friends at Solyndra by handing them $500 million of taxpayers' money for a business that was essentially worthless?

201. Europe's crisis is about to get a whole lot worse – Telegraph Blogs

Here's your starter for ten. The European People's Party is the largest bloc in the European Council, as measured by voting weight; can you guess the second largest?Congratulations to anyone who plumped for the European Conservatives and Reformists, who edge ahead of both the Liberals and the Socialists.Euro-Lefties have been having a thin time of it recently. Only three per cent of EU citizens live under socialist or socialist-led governments. That, though, is about to change. France, where the state already consumes 56 per cent of GDP, and whose budget was last in balance in 1974, seems likely to elect François Hollande on a platform of 'growth, not austerity'. (Who knew it was that easy?) Greece, which also votes on Sunday, is inclining toward a pack of communist parties; the politicians there who talk openly of the need for cuts currently command less than seven per cent in the polls. Romania, too, is about to install a Leftist ministry, following the defeat of the last government's austerity platform. As other elections follow around Europe, we can expect more of the same.What will be the impact? Europe will accelerate all the policies that brought it to its present unhappy condition: wastrel spending, unsustainable borrowing, punitive taxation, deeper integration.

202. The Left thinks restoring rigour to GCSEs is 'unfair'. But what was 'fair' about grade inflation? | Daily Telegraph

Sometimes a news story comes along which leaves me with the sense that – despite my outward assimilation into human form – I’m actually an alien, at such variance is my response to the story, compared to that which its protagonists clearly expect to elicit, when they catalogue their woes. Such is the case with the row over GCSE marking.Today’s update reveals that Welsh schoolchildren will have their papers regraded, while those of the English will not. A trades union leader says that it’s “inconceivable” that English regrading won’t follow, somehow missing the entire point of devolution, which is to institutionalise what in other arenas we refer to as a “postcode lottery”. (If you want a single, centrally-determined approach to education (or health, or policing) across England, Scotland and Wales, don’t vote for devolution. But that’s another blog.)

204. Miliband's growing reliance on unions exposed: Labour's paymasters provide 77% of party's funding

Ed Miliband's growing dependence on Labour’s union paymasters was laid bare yesterday as it was revealed that the barons are providing 77 per cent of the party’s funding.Figures released by the Electoral Commission watchdog revealed that the Unite union, led by far-Left firebrand Len McCluskey, was again Labour’s biggest donor, contributing £772,195 between April and June.In total, the unions gave Labour more than £2.4million in the second quarter, out of a total of just over £3million, which included lump sums of £485,830 from the GMB and £458,080 from Unison.Labour’s reliance on union cash is particularly stark since the figures also show that Labour is in a staggering amount of debt, with outstanding loans of £12.8million, compared with £2.6million for the Tories. The party was forced to increase its overdraft facilities by £2.4million earlier this year with the troubled Co-operative Bank.

205. Eurocrats are now consciously seeking to prevent a post-euro recovery – Telegraph Blogs

Give him the full £250,000, I say, this ten-year-old Dutch boy. The Wolfson Prize, the second most valuable in the world after the Nobel, is on offer to the economist who devises the best plan for an orderly dismantling of the euro. The judges have very decently sent young Jurre Hermans a €100 gift voucher, but he has not made the shortlist, which has been filled by people with more extensive academic backgrounds. Still, the lad from Gelderland Achterhoek seems to me to have got to the nub of things. If the euro is failing with its current membership, he says, change that membership. Greece should return to the drachma over a bank holiday, with restrictions and penalties to prevent a massive flight of capital. He helpfully adds a drawing of a machine that could carry out the conversion.True, Jurre's solution leaves some questions unanswered. It is neither as comprehensive nor as ingenious as the five short-listed entries. Still, Jurre he has got the big picture right. If the euro isn't working, leave. Everything else is detail.That might sound flippant, but it's not meant to be. When the crisis hit, European leaders responded by asking themselves 'how do we save the euro?' rather than 'how do we rescue the people who use the euro?' Every one of their schemes begs the question. Eurocrats have shown themselves quite willing to inflict poverty, deflation and emigration on millions rather than admit that their project is intrinsically flawed.

207. Cameron should scrap the Foreign Aid budget, not increase it – Telegraph Blogs

Yesterday I was on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show sparring with Cristina Odone about Dave's mooted compulsory foreign aid levy on the British taxpayer. She was arguing – with some high level support from Lord Gummer – that it was a good thing, part of our moral obligation to the world, and really not that much money all things considered. I was arguing that, no, actually, £8 billion now (rising to £11.4 billion in 2015) is quite a lot of money and that in these dark economic times the very last thing our government ought to be doing is hosing down ungrateful foreigners with cash we haven't got.The biggest recipient of our foreign aid largesse is currently Pakistan to which over the next four years we will be sending a total of £1.4 billion. This is roughly the same amount that Pakistan has earmarked to spend on a new fleet of Chinese made submarines; these will go nicely with the two squadrons of Chinese J-10 fighters which Pakistan has also bought at a cost of $1.4 billion. So, in effect, our foreign aid donations are helping to underwrite the military expansion of the country which until recently was shielding the world's number one Islamist terrorist, organised the massacre in Bombay and is doing so much to fund the Taliban insurgency killing and maiming our forces in Afghanistan..........But though all these examples quite neatly expose the profligacy, political correctness and imbecilic incompetence of DFID what they also do is distract from the bigger picture. The real story – as I should have said on Jeremy Vine's show if only I'd had my wits about me and hadn't been so keen to major on the Ferris Wheel anecdote – is not that our Foreign Aid budget is grotesquely misspent (though of course it is) but that we shouldn't have a Foreign Aid budget at all.For chapter and verse on this I refer you to m'learned friend Dambisa Moyo, the Zambian-born, Harvard-educated author of Dead Aid. In her superb book, she explains how, far from helping the Third World, well-meaning aid packages from the West – such as the $1 trillion dollars spent in the last 50 years on aid for Africa – have only harmed it.

208. £2bn fuel duty hits motorists | The Sun |News|Politics

HARD-UP drivers handed the Government more than £2BILLION in fuel duty last month alone, official figures reveal.A surge in petrol sales generated £929million of fuel duty for the Treasury coffers in June.Diesel buying — much of it by truck drivers — contributed another £1.35billion.Motorists pay just over 40 per cent of the pump price in fuel duty. This rises to 60 per cent when VAT is added.So when drivers pay £40 at the till, £24 goes straight to the taxman.
