			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A brand new site has been launched that aims to protect your <span style="color: #ffff00;"><a title="Faceamania" href="http://www.faceamania.com" target="_blank">privacy</a> </span>as much as it possibly can. The site came about as members of the social networking site facebook were concerned about privacy issues. The social network giant was recently deemed to have breached Canadian privacy laws by holding member details even after accounts had been deleted.</p>
<p>The new <span style="color: #ffff00;"><a title="fam2" href="http://www.faceamania.com" target="_blank">social network site</a> </span>has been funded by donations from it&#8217;s own members and 29,000 have joined in three weeks.</p>
<p>The site offers so many features, blogs, groups, videos, music and polls. There is something for everyone. The site is family friendly and any offensive content is removed in minutes, the culprit&#8217;s account is then deleted with no appeal process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Climate chnage is working with the new world order" href="www.lease2u.co.uk/blog/" target="_blank">http://www.lease2u.co.uk/blog/</a></p>
<p>I am am not here to tell you what has happened, nor what has gone on in the past, I am here to tell you what to expect for you and your children&#8217;s future.</p>
<p>It seems that people are so dumbed down with TV, anti-depressants, fluoride and whatever else, that they are now shouting bahh bahh and growing wool on their back.</p>
<p>Wake up. We are being pushed in one direction and that is not up.</p>
<p>You guys are talking about the cause of this manisfestation called recession but my friends this is more than banks having overall control. This goes back to medeival times, so if you don&#8217;t know what am talking about then go research it just like I have. I bet you will NOT wake up happy when it dawns on you what is actually going on.</p>
<p>They have a media, (not ours), that propogates lie after lie and spins each story that is relevant to meet the aims of the politic who is in power. Remember National Socialism in Germany and the 1939 Beer Hall Pusch? If you read any history then you will see that is repeats itself. The people of Germany were mentally condioneted through the media that the Nazi Party had overtaken and forced the media to broadcast exactly what the nazi said, ie jews are the cause of our economic problems.</p>
<p>Now we may be facing the same scenario!</p>
<p>We have the Police in the UK who think it is ok to assault unarmed citizens on a peaceful protest March. One man died and I cannot say whether it was the result of the Police assault when the man&#8217;s back was against them, nor that he died because a Policeman hit him with a baton, again when the man was walking away and non confrontational. The officer must have felt under threat despite the factual video and still evidence that shows 4 german shepherd dogs with handlers and a further 8 officers behind him. I find that the video and still images speak for themselves.</p>
<p>This officer had concealed his epauletes, his number and identity. One man gone and yet they say ok, let&#8217;s have a look at it and then the IPCC allow the officers own force to interview him, what is INDEPENDENT ABOUT THAT? That is like me smacking your daughter in the face and then saying hey it&#8217;s ok my brother will investigate it for you.</p>
<p>The BBC coverage of both incidents as they like to call them, leaves me so angry that i could revolt. I am neither an activist nor a protester,  I AM JOE AS IN JOE PUBLIC, and us Joe&#8217;s are now getting the word out on you who attempt to subject our country to your police state. this will not happen. I fought for this country, for it&#8217;s people and for it&#8217;s values. I did not fight to protect any political ambitions of bankers not their lackeys. You politicians will and have to be removed. Your so called new world order is infact an old world order policy that was first mentioned in the times of the Alexander, the Eygptian Empire, Macedonian Empire, Roman Empire, Persian Empire, Austro Hungarian Empire and let&#8217;s not forget the Nazi Empire. No matter what Empire it was the simple fact is that they all fell. Let history teach a lesson.</p>
<p>Do not think for one moment that the human spirit, that has not been broken since time was first recorded by man will ever be broken. We may hurt, be beaten, be killed but:</p>
<p>Wake up and don&#8217;t smell the coffee, just wake up and do nothing and one day you will go straight to hell for failing to speak up, act and take action.</p>
<p>We will always come back.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A  wrong has been done, a man is dead, a body in a morgue. So get things right, this should be a murder investigation until proven otherwise as this is a sudden death.</p>
<p>What would happen if it was you, your sister or mother?</p>
<p>I am sat here spitting blood and tears at what this country, that I fought for, has become.</p>
<p>This is what is happening so be alert, their new world order means that we have to fight for our old world order rights.</p>
<p>A MAN DIED AFTER BEING ASSAULTED BY A LONDON POLICE OFFICER.</p>
<p>Ian Tomlinson, who was 47 and a newspaper venor in London, was walking home from work and inadvertently became embrioled in the G20 protests. He was walking on his way home when he found himself in no mans land, the space between Police and protesters. Ian, who was walking with his hands in his trouser pockets and on his way home from work had tried to find another way home but he had already been blocked by the Police. There are reports that before the video inicent that is so widely reported that Ian had also been assaulted by other Police Officers.  As it shows on the video, this man was attacked, he was not attacking anyone, he was trying to get out of no mans land in London.</p>
<p>I find it <!--[if gte mso 10]><br />
<mce:style><!   /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-priority:99; 	mso-style-qformat:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin-top:0cm; 	mso-para-margin-right:0cm; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; 	mso-para-margin-left:0cm; 	line-height:115%; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:11.0pt; 	font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; 	mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; 	mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} --></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">intriguing</span> that when the Police investigation into Ian’s death asked for witnesses to come forward, that the one person who provided the footage was infact a merchant banker. Remember that a lot of G20 protesters are so anti banks it would split your eye with an icicle if you even mentioned that there could be a moralistic merchant banker.</p>
<p>I find it absolutely unbelievable that the Police had to request that the officers concerned come forward and make their identities known. Every helmet had their call sign on it, there is enough cctv to make out what the call sign on the officers head was who attacked Ian. Each unit commander, whether it is a Sgt or Inspector knows his own unit and who is on the ground.</p>
<p>The ISPCC should not have to request that officers in that incident come forward, THOSE officers are supposed to be upholding the law and by failing to come forward they are breaking the law. Their Inspectors, Superindents, Divisional Commanders are also breaking the law,you must disclose who has commited the alledged offence.</p>
<p>Imagine this for a minute, a member of the public knocks down a Police Officer and uses a baton, then shoves the Police Officer to the ground that he is hurt and disorientated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people have been hoodwinked into believing that global warming has been caused by people, countries, factories and cars emitting co2, carbon dioxide. THIS IS NOT TRUE. We have been the victims of a hoax that simply engineers more taxes.</p>
<p>I went to see Al Gore in Glasgow and it cost me £700 just to sit at a table and watch him speak about climate change, Hilton hotel in Glasgow. I believed it all. I thought, shit the planet is melting! You see, my planet, yes it&#8217;s mine as it&#8217;s the only one I live on has to be protected against harm as it&#8217;s also my son&#8217;s and your planet.</p>
<p>But let us look at some facts. Carbon Dioxide is a natural gas that has been in our atmosphere for millions of years, probably before time began as we know it. Carbon Dioxide is vital for our survival, we as human beings emit this with every breath we take and make. It is then absorbed by flora and fauna and transformed into life giving Oxygen. So to all activists out there who believe in save a tree I say, keep breathing as your co2 is needed by our green friends. I love this green place, I love clean water and I love being able to see a clear blue sky, apart from fighetr jets chem trailing everywhere.</p>
<p>It is a fact that has been proven by climatologists that the earth ceased warming in 1997 and that this is not due to reduced emissions from cars, vans nor factories. This is due purely to the effect the sun has on our atmosphere. Whenever the sun spurts it&#8217;s sun spots it is showing it&#8217;s power and violence. Sun spots are huge explosions in the sun&#8217;s gaseous climate. These spots not only affect the earth but they also affect every other planet.</p>
<p>When you watch the news and you hear &#8220;oh my god the antarctic and artic polar caps are melting&#8221;. You are in fear as you think if they melt we will be flooded. This is wrong, they melt every year during the summer months and more so when sun spot activity hits our planet. Th glaciers are actually increasing in size as the earth is cooling, not warming up as Al Gore would have us believe.</p>
<p>Sea level change, simple equation here is this. Glaciers melt, sea level rises, we drown. This is what you are told, so where is Noah?</p>
<p>Reality, the majority of any glacier or iceberg is already underwater so the top of it melting will not matter to the volume of water in our oceans. Oh and can polar bears survive?</p>
<p>Yes they can, Polar bears have been known to swim distances of over 200 miles, tracked with rc collars. they have two layers of fur, the first one is so insulated that they will not even show on an infra red camera pointed at them as there is no heat loss. The second coat is needled, this means that each hair acts as a wee tube to absorb heat and transfer it to the core organs. A polar bear in the water is at home as you and me might be lying on a sunny beach. The biggest threat to polar bears is us, man, hunting them and not climate change.</p>
<p>Climage change is continual, we have had ice ages before and it has had nothing to do with human output of carbon dioxide. It is the result of the changes in the sun&#8217;s atmosphere.</p>
<p>Carbon dioxide is not the issue here. Without co2 we die. So why has it become the issue? The answer is simple, cars, people and companies can be taxed because Governments and the media make it so. There is no legitimate reason to give a car or a van a co2 emission rating other than to allow a tax to be made on it. This would be the same as taxing dairy farmers who have herds that fart, so let&#8217;s have a fart tax too. Sounds funny, but it is not as the USA have already tried this.</p>
<p>And to all the climate change/global warming activists I just want to tell you a wee story.</p>
<p>I recycled as much as I could. Plastic, tin, steel, paper etc. I had a green bin that it all went into. I was doing my bit for mother earth. I was then faced with a problem as the local council, who i pay £1200 a year to in council tax, refused to empty the recycle bin. Eight weeks and they would not empty it and I complained to be told, we cannot recycle materials contained withing platic bags. I said so you cannot recycle plastic bottles and containers contained within a platic sack. I was told NO. So if plastic cannot be recycled when it is contained within plastic then what is the point. I then did some research and found out that the same council use 34 vans to collect the recycled waste, they do 1.6 million miles in diesel powered vans, medium sizze. to collect this waste. Then they transport this waste to a central collection point. It is then loaded into trucks to take it a further 90 miles. This recycling amounts to 900 tons per week. So how is this friend;ly to the planet? This kind of recycling is counter productive as it is causing more pollution than it solves.</p>
<p>I helped the ozone today, I took my recycling bin into my garden, stroked it fondly and said goodbye and set fire to it.</p>
<p>People are not the problem, co2 is not the problem. Politicians are the problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst the Americans, French and Germans are offering financial aid to their own car plants and manufacturers, the UK is doing nothing apart from pussy footing around the issues and talking, the manufacturers should have done this, they should do that! So should the banks! Yet you bail them out while you sit there doing nothing to save jobs in the UK manufacturing plants? Honda are now on a four month shutdown, Mini staff on reduced pay, Nissan could leave Sunderland, Toyota staff are in the same boat. Redunancies across the board yet Whitehall protect their banking friends!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at some figures published by the BBC.</p>
<p>USA aid to their car industry:</p>
<p>General Motors £12 billion</p>
<p>Chrysler $5 billion</p>
<p>Both companies now say they need additional funding. GM need an addiional $16.7 billion and Chrysler an additional $5 billion.</p>
<p>Do they not get the simple way the world works?</p>
<p>If major purchases cannot be financed like cars, van, trucks or homes then the companies that supply into these markets like mortgage brokers and <a title="Car Leasing" href="http://www.lease2u.co.uk">car leasing companies</a> will also not survive. Without the surviaval of these companies the country will go into meltdown. Unemployment will be massive and civil unrest will arrive.</p>
<p>The UK Government is doing as it always has, it ignores the workers and thinks it knows best. I will say this, you money grabbing MP&#8217;s were elected into office,  but I believe a revolution is about to happen in the UK. You were elected to serve us, the people, not the bankers. You serve US not them!</p>
<p>It is quite simple to understand, either you start to serve the people instead of making them subserviant, or the people will have no choice other than to take the power you have as Government away from you.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In the current financial crisis and recession the UK banks, most of which have now been taken into partial public ownership, are still failing to provide finance to lease cars and vans to private customers and small businesses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Leasing companies in the UK are going bankrupt in their hundreds every month because these private/publicly owned banks refuse to lend the monies that have bailed them out. I find it incredulous that any Government could allow this to happen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are now faced with the situation that 86% of all customers who are proposed for prime leasing are declined and have to be placed into <a title="Non Status Leasing" href="../../special-finance-deals.php" target="_blank">non status leasing</a> agreements. In the same period last year we were seeing an opposite trend whereby 71% of clients were being accepted to lease their new cars. Whilst I understand fully that underwriting criteria has to be tightened to mitigate against future losses to the banks, I do not understand why leasing customers are being penalised. You see with leasing a future value is placed on the car or the van and the bank will set the actual future value of the vehicle at around 85% of the predicted value. So this means that the risk is minimal. The leasing sections of banks are very profitable. Take one UK bank, who also own a leasing company. In 2007-2008 sales were up 42%, profit 39% and bad debt down by 77%.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The banks are now apportioning blame to leasing brokers for bad debt. One bank in particular has stated to me that it was because of brokers sending bad finance proposals that the bank actually wrote the bad debt. Excuse me but brokers are not responsible for underwriting decisions, that&#8217;s the bank&#8217;s job. The broker is there to introduce possible business to the bank.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most of our customers now have to go for a <a title="Sub Prime Car Leasing" href="../../specialist-finance.php" target="_blank">sub prime car leasing</a> arrangement through no fault of their own.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I personally think that it is long overdue that banks are called to account for their actions. If any other business faces going out of business then the Government turns its back and offers no help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following question was asked at the University of Copenhagen in a physics exam:</p>
<p>“”Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a barometer.”</p>
<p>One student replied:</p>
<p>“You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building.”</p>
<p>This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed immediately. He appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case. The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but did not display any noticeable knowledge of physics. To resolve the problem it was decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal familiarity with the basic principles of physics. For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn’t make up his mind which to use. On being advised to hurry up the student replied as follows:</p>
<p>“Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper, drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H = 0.5g x t squared. But bad luck on the barometer.</p>
<p>“Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the skyscraper’s shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work uut the height of the skyscraper.</p>
<p>“But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper. The height is worked out by the difference in the gravitational restoring force T = 2 pi sqrroot (l/g).</p>
<p>“Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up.</p>
<p>“If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into feet to give the height of the building.</p>
<p>But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the janitor’s door and say to him ‘If you would like a nice new barometer, I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper’.”</p>
<p>The student was Nils Bohr, the first Dane to win the Nobel prize for Physics. “</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok here is what happened today and I am quite angry about this.</p>
<p>A customer (note we never call them clients) contacted us today to enquire about <a title="non status leasing" href="http://www.lease2u.co.uk/special-finance-deals.php">non status leasing</a>. I asked why he would require to go for sub prime leasing rather than for prime finance. Let&#8217;s call our customer Mr R. Our Mr R had some quite large contracts with the building company that he owned. He was contracted in the south east of the UK to provide work to grade 2 listed buildings that were owned by various Government Departments.</p>
<p>In December 07 Mr R&#8217;s company provided invoices for work performed for the various government owned buildings. He was not paid. However as his vat return was due he had to include the vat on every invoice even though he had not been paid the vat, so he could pay the vat man. So the vat man proceeded to go to court against Mr R&#8217;s company and they won.</p>
<p>Despite other UK Government bodies owing Mr R&#8217;s company and not paying, the customs and excise made Mr R and his company bankrupt.</p>
<p>I hear lots of tales from customers of woe. This one I believe as Mr R gave me authority to search his company and there it was, CCJ registered in favour of customs and excise (vat man) against his company.</p>
<p>So the Government owed Mr R yet they chose another route, let&#8217;s take all he is worth, this way we don&#8217;t have to pay him.</p>
<p>Mr R should not have to have <a href="http://www.lease2u.co.uk/specialist-finance.php">sub prime leasing</a> but it is the only way forward for him. A hard working man, who built a business employing 70 people is raped by the very people he provided services to.</p>
<p>TO DATE MR R HAS NEVER BEEN PAID FOR THE WORK HIS COMPANY DID. Why? Quite simply his company does not exist any longer. The Government of the UK removed his company by making it bankrupt, thus avoiding having to pay for services provided.</p>
