Gordon Brown today announced the new Business Council for Britain
to assist him and the Government on its ongoing policies and priorities.

So where is the CBI ? Has
it been sidelined ? Could it possibly have anything to do with this? Or is Gordon following Mein Kampfe to the letter.

The full list of members of the council:

• Sir
  Richard Branson: Founder, Virgin Group [pictured]
• Damon
  Buffini: Managing Partner, Permira
• Sir
  William Castell: Chair, Wellcome Trust
• Mervyn
  Davies: Chairman, Standard Chartered Bank
• Sir
  Rod Eddington: Director, News Corporation
• Dr
  Jean Pierre Garnier: Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Glaxo SmithKline
• Stephen
  Green: Chairman, HSBC
• Tony
  Hayward: CEO, BP
• Sir
  Terry Leahy: CEO, Tesco
• Sir
  John Parker: Chair, National Grid
• Sir
  John Rose: CEO, Rolls Royce
• Stuart
  Rose: CEO, Marks and Spencer
• Arun
  Sarin: CEO, Vodafone
• Dame
  Marjorie Scardino: CEO, Pearson
• Sir
  Alan Sugar: Chair and CEO, Amstrad
   

The Council will be chaired by Mervyn Davies of the Standard
Chartered Bank and will be attended by the Prime Minister and Secretaries of
State of the main economic departments. Other Secretaries of State will attend
the meetings at the invitation of the Council.

The Council remit will be to:

• advise
  the Government on its ongoing policies and priorities;
• conduct
  its own reviews on the areas it believes will determine the future
  economic well-being of the UK;
  and
• where
  issues are particularly important, have the power to establish Special
  Commissions to make recommendations for reform.

William Sargent, Executive Chair of the Better Regulation
Executive will also attend.  

It will be very interesting to see exactly how this group
performs, whether anything useful for the general public comes out of
this council, or whether it will be used entirely to maximise profits for
companies and taxes for the Treasury, and then regulate to hell to ensure we
all pay.

The very term Better Regulation Executive conjures up
visions of a new ‘economic police force’. 

You will comply, you will pay.

I wrote some time ago about how the then Chancellor (now
unelected Prime Minister), would have
to engage with business in just the same way that Hitler did, simply
because of the method of his economic and fiscal policies, coupled with the
wider socialist political policies, the result was the Cartel
Laws. 

This looks very much like the first steps to that
engagement. Mein Kampfe must have been essential reading for Gordon Brown.

Note in my previous article reference to Trade Unions and
Political Parties. Having watched NuLab change Britain
over the past 10 years, I can confidently predict that the age of National
Socialism is nearly upon us here in Britain
in its entirety.

Driving Change: How the Best Companies are Preparing for the 21st Century

In a move in the
U.S. Senate, we can take a glimpse at what is in store for the NO2ID campaign
here in the UK. The similarities of policy, the wanton desire of the administration to
have everyone tagged and logged, without a care for individual liberties or
safety of identity management.

The U.S. Senate took
a preliminary step on Wednesday toward reining in the controversial Real ID
Act, which is scheduled to become America's first federal identification card in a few
years.

During Wednesday's floor debate over a massive immigration bill, Real ID
foes managed to preserve an amendment to prohibit the forthcoming
identification card from being used for mandatory employment verification,
signaling that the political winds have shifted from when the law was overwhelmingly
enacted two years ago.

The anti-Real ID amendment is backed by two Montana Democrats, Max Baucus
and Jon Tester, who say the digital ID cards represent an unreasonable
government intrusion into Americans' private lives. In April, Montana
became one of the states that has voted to reject
Real ID.

“This was a real victory for Montana
and the American people,” Tester said, after the Senate vote to kill their
amendment failed to muster a majority. The unsuccessful vote to table it was
45-52.

The Real ID Act says that, starting on May 11, 2008, Americans will need a federally-approved ID
card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect Social Security
payments or take advantage of nearly any government service. States must
conduct checks of their citizens' identification papers, and driver's licenses
may have to be reissued to comply with Homeland Security requirements. (States
that agree in advance to abide by the rules have until 2013 to comply.)

The immigration bill (Word
document), which is backed by the Bush administration and has drawn
the ire of many conservatives, requires employers to demand
Real ID cards of new hires starting in 2013. It says that “no driver's
license or state identity card may be accepted if it does not comply with the
Real ID Act.”

It also would try to siphon off opposition on privacy or federalism grounds
from state legislators by offering fat checks–$1.5 billion over five
years–with funds coming from the U.S. Treasury.

Baucus' and Tester's amendment (PDF)
deletes the requirement for employer ID verification and says that “no
federal funds may be provided” to states to create such a system.

Tim Sparapani, the ACLU's legislative counsel, called the vote a
“victory for privacy and a rejection of building an immigration system on
a faulty foundation, which was the Real ID Act.”

That framework is estimated to cost $23.1 billion, according
to the Department of Homeland Security, and could include Americans outfitted
with radio frequency ID, or RFID, chips on the cards (the idea is being
considered but is not final). Personal data that's on the back of the card in a
two-dimensional bar code will not be encrypted because of “operational
complexity,” meaning any business or government agency that scans the
information could record it in a database.

The Royal Household accounts were published today, and can
be found in full on the Official Buckingham
Palace web site.

Head of State Expenditure is met from public funds in
exchange for the surrender by The Queen to the Government of the revenue from
the Crown Estate and other hereditary revenues.  The Treasury's gross
receipts in respect of the Crown Estate were £188 million in 2005-06. 

Whilst the left wing press like to tell us how much the
Royal Household costs to run, £37.3 million or £0.62p for every person in the
UK, that pales into insignificance against the earnings of the Crown Estates
into the Treasury, which earned £3.13 for each and every one of us.

Our Royal Family are excellent value for money (for those
who really need to see it set in financial terms), good value for Britain
and are the glue that holds this nation together.

I swore allegiance to Her Majesty and to the Crown, that is
the way it will remain, never freely or willingly giving anything to Europe.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
