Удвоение пенсий чревато кризисом пенсионной системы Top
На 2010 год правительством РФ поставлена цель увеличить средний размер пенсии до 7 750 рублей, а к декабрю 2010 года - до 8 408 рублей (примерно 38% от средней заработной платы, что примерно соответствует соотношению 1990 года). Однако за благой целью скрываются ощутимые потери, говорится в отчете американского инвестиционного банка of America Securities - Merrill Lynch. Несмотря на то, что решения правительства направлены на достижение благородной цели, давление на бюджет после 2010 года будет слишком сильным. Бюджетные платежи в пенсионную систему могут достичь 5,3% от ВВП в 2010 году и 4,4-4,6% от ВВП в 2011-2012 годах. Повышение пенсий обойдется бюджету в 500, 561 и 609 млрд рублей в 2010, 2011 и 2012 годах соответственно. Для этого сначала будут использованы средства Национального фонда благосостояния, который к 2011 году будет полностью исчерпан. Затем правительству придется финансировать пенсии напрямую. Даже при условии сохранения высоких цен на нефть (около $70 за баррель), из-за повышения уровня пенсионных выплат и фактора старения населения бюджетный дефицит не опустится ниже 3-4% от ВВП, считают в Merrill Lynch. Бюджетный дефицит в России вновь, как и в 90-е годы, будет носить хронический характер. Неизбежен также и рост внутренних и внешних заимствований правительства и возвращения России к роли крупного должника. Аналитики полагают, что правительству для балансирования ситуации, вероятно, придется увеличить пенсионный возраст и ввести прогрессивную шкалу налогообложения. Возможны и другие меры, связанные с повышением налоговой нагрузки на бизнес или граждан. Source
 
cross-cultural observations (and fic) Top
You know, it just occurred to me yesterday that I've been back in the States for a little over two months. I left the UK on July 1st. The reason that is remarkable is simply that it's been so action-packed that it feels like a much longer time. Additionally, I keep running into people who haven't seen me since 2003-ish and they keep asking 'so have you adjusted to being back yet?'. For which I mentally commend them because from what I read and observe, many Americans are not completely conscious that others in the world have lifestyles that are, y'know, vastly different from the highs/lows of the American lifestyle. Oh, I mean…this is something that most people have a vague awareness of (say names like Africa and Asia and most Americans will nod their heads knowingly like, ah yes…it's a whole 'nother world it is.) But that doesn't always translate into awareness of concrete realities. I've had the tremendous good fortune of being able to travel widely and sometimes yes, it IS quite the adjustment to come back home to the country of my birth, my nation, my home and be confronted with the invigorating realities of reverse culture shock. I'm often tempted to comment on it in this journal. I might make it a regular feature, if it's sufficiently amusing. If you care to indulge, clicky: I went home to America from England about twice a year from 2004-2009. I only ever intended to go on Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday) but it didn't always work out that way. There would be things, emergencies, weddings, my parents 60th birthdays which always seemed to be dragging me out to Gatwick for the delightful post 9-11 experience of flying for 8-9 hours then being treated like a criminal by my own countrymen at Atlanta Hartsfield/Jackson. (Word to the wise: arrive in the ATL from a foreign destination, prepare yourself to go through a security screening AGAIN which really, to use the parlance of my adopted brethren, gets on my tits.) Every time I returned, I'd run into one of my delightful cousins who would always express her intention to come visit me in good old London Towne in Merrie Olde England. She would blithely say, 'I'd love to see the country! We could take a weekend trip and drive out to…Surrey or Cornwall or something. What kind of car do you have?' And I'd smile and say, 'Europcar usually always rents me a Peugeot for some reason.' And she'd look at me, blinking, as if I'd just told her we'd have to go by camel train. My point is: for most Americans outside of NYC or perhaps San Fran, the idea of not owning a car is either something wistfully dreamed of or COMPLETELY ANATHEMA. It is almost literally unheard-of. It never occurred to my cousin that the prospect of owning a car could be so expensive, inconvenient and pointless that it would discourage me from doing it for five whole years . So let me sketch it out: the UK has some very sensible rules and regulations (which in the US often vary by state) about the age and appropriateness of cars that can be driven on its roads (more on this later). Every single part of the process of acquiring a car and a license in the UK is (to the American mind) heftily taxed and wretchedly tiresome. Parking it safely in the lovely city of London is a whole other kettle of shit fish. Public transportation is readily available and more than adequate. The kicker: gas (petrol) costs eight dollars a gallon . And there is also the much larger sense of a country that was sculpted and tamed almost from its inception with cars in mind (i.e. most of the American West) with a country made for pleasant walks, jaunts, carriage rides and train journeys but never cars. In that sense, I often found myself thinking that British motorists are among the bravest (or craziest) in the world. Let me explain. I mentioned a couple of days ago that I got a speeding ticket. A couple of you expressed astonishment at how incredibly cheap and easy *that* whole experience was. Let me paint the picture: I was driving a new-ish Japanese-designed car on a road that was made with long-distance trucking and huge extremes of weather in mind and generous federal tax dollars. That means I was driving on an interstate that had been designed and graded for maximum straightness and minimum grade. A road that on portions of its length, a person could safely land a jumbo jet (yup, part of the mandate of an interstate: gotta be able to land a plane on it). I am in a state that is approximately the size of the Federal Republic of Germany with 1/100th of its population (80 million Germans/800,000 Montanans). A road made wide enough that you could put a house on a truck and move it somewhere and no one would think anything of it. And a road divided and surrounded by a broad grassy median covered with lovely wildflowers and no other obstructions at all. Is it any wonder that I felt safe going 102 mph ? Every aspect of the road design was in place to make that possible and even easy. And…yeah, while I was going pretty damn fast, it still took me an hour to get where I was going. This is the norm, not the exception. Such is life out West. So. Contrast that with my typical UK driving experience. My husband and I would routinely use the bank holiday (long) weekends to experience some other corner of the little island, like Cornwall, Yorkshire, the New Forest, Scotland! Three times I drove to Wales (my ancestral home), once in the company of my mother and sister. THAT was a trip, I can just tell you. Before 2003, my mother's idea of an exotic holiday was Mexico. Like, seriously, Cancun . More on this topic later. Many people think that the hard part is driving on the left. A lot of them don't realize that the British are not alone in this ancient practice dating back to the dark, dismal era when people, y'know, actually started leaving their birthplaces . They've cheerfully codified the custom in Australia, India, other parts of Asia and select portions of Africa. It is not a problem I find. The whole system is designed to make driving on the left easy and natural. The only problem I have is that I routinely go to the wrong door, whereupon my husband will gently say, 'you're driving, Hairpin' and I say, 'aha, yes…I guess I should be…um…behind the steering wheel then!' If he finds that comical, he graciously keeps it to himself. The problem is not the left-handedness of the whole endeavor. The problem, for the American driver is that: English roads (and to a much greater degree Welsh and Scottish roads) are not made to coddle a car and driver. No sir! In fact they appear to be designed to challenge, terrify and actually thwart a car and driver at (almost literally) every turn. 'Come and try it', English roads seem to taunt. 'You thought you were all forged in the fire, eh, Ms. I-commuted-in-Los-Angeles! Well, you ain't seen our hedgerows! Our twisty B-roads! You ain't ever tried to leave London at 5PM on a Thursday !' In my state, getting a driver's license you are required to have (in descending order): a pulse, reasonable eyesight, literacy and $30. Getting a driver's license in the UK is apparently an event which requires something akin to Navy SEAL training, the expense of one year of private American post-secondary education and a devilishly masochistic sense of what driving could and should be. That is to say millions of Britons have managed it and they are all on the M-25, circling, circling. That is…the ones who are not on the M-4. Who are stuck there, for some as-yet-unknown, but doubtless-very-important reason. However, the above-named are major thoroughfares which any American would recognize as perfectly decent roads to be stuck on for say, a small eternity. Behind a lorry belching diesel exhaust with a bumper sticker proclaiming cheerfully, 'it's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll' making the hapless driver slowly thump her hand on the steering wheel, humming AC/DC for some reason. Not that this has ever happened to me or anything. The more British part of the British driving experience will occur after you have blithely turned off one of the M! or A! roads and onto the delightful English (or Welsh or Scottish) country lanes. Ah, lovely. Hills and dales dotted with quaint, rose-covered cottages rise and fall around you. Ancient oaks make hobbit-like tunnels to drive through. Little sheep frolic next to bunnies in a bucolic fucking masterwork of cuteness. Of course, if you are driving, you will not see any of this. Why? Hedgerows. Hedgerows sound so cool don't they? They sound so sweet and English, don't they? They are a real feature of English roading. I have driven from Hamburg to Graz, Austria, by way of Prague. I have driven from Barcelona through the Pyrenees over to Oporto in Portugal and from there to the Pont-de-Piedra. I have driven from Provence to Normandy in France, Slovenia to Croatia to Bosnia and back. I have driven from Venice to Manzano, Italy at 110 mph on the autostrada. I have driven the entire length of the Bruce Highway, from Cairns to the Snowy Mountains. I have crossed and re-crossed the United States and Canada many times. I have driven over the Atlas mountains twice in Morocco and through the Chott el Jerid in Tunisia. And once (memorably) in Moscow. And I'm here to tell you: hedgerows are pretty fucking unique. Here's why: it's like driving in a tunnel ALL THE TIME, but worse. Imagine the narrowest, curviest road you can, surrounded by the thickest, most impenetrable hedge you can, now double the thickness and make it much higher than you are tall (particularly in a Smart car or a Peugeot). Now imagine that it crowds the road with zero median to speak of. Imagine that the road appears about six inches wider than the car. Now imagine that there are cars rushing toward you at speed, clearing you by about a foot. There is nowhere to swerve if you feel threatened: repeat that nowhere . Now, just to make it interesting, imagine a few blind turnings into your road…y'know, to keep you on your toes. Then, imagine that every so often a brightly-colored pheasant will just explode out of the hedge to your left and make its way over to the hedge on your right, clearing your windshield by about a millimeter. Why does the pheasant cross the road? It has a death wish, is my theory. That is also not taking into account the surprising volume of single-lane roads. Let me make this clear: I am speaking of a road that is almost exactly the width of one (smallish) car. If another car wishes to use the road in the opposite direction, one or the other drivers must reverse to a cleverly-placed turnout. Considering it was Britain, this always happened with cheerfulness and polite waves all round. I've experienced this phenomenon in the States, too…but bear in mind it was an unpaved logging road through a national forest. Not something marked in black on a map. My husband is kind of a nervous driver and after about five minutes of this, he is ready for a hypodermic full of Thorazine. I am a calm, relaxed, Zen-like driver, but after a couple of hours I want to be chewing Valium like they're damn M&Ms. (Smarties for my dear British friends who are reading this with indulgent smiles and head-shaking.) Needless to say: I do the lion's share of the driving when we venture out. I never went anywhere in the UK without my boy in the passenger seat, navigating with two maps and a compass. English signage makers would consider it cheating to let you know if you were going north, south, east or west. Why would you care for a detail like that? You're going to Swindon, right? No? Well, East Dribbling then. By way of Tooting? Are you sure? Well, wouldn't it just be easier to stay in jolly Woolhampton? No? Wolverhampton, then? Okay, Mousehole. (pronounced mao-zell) That's my final offer. Just take the B4103 to the A5076 to the B7780 to the B4319 to Gloucester Road, then the High Street, through the 16th roundabout to the Cloisters. Then it's on the left. Or imagine that you are in Wales and your navigator is trying to direct you through a roundabout where you don't want to go to Pentre-Foulas or Blaenau Ffestiniog or Yspytty-Ifan but instead to Betws-y-Coed. You think I'm kidding, don't you? Hah. So, if you are not intimately well-versed (say from early childhood) in the place you would like to visit and its assorted lanes and byways, it takes the intense concentration of at least two reasonably well-educated people to successfully navigate the odd corners of ol' Blighty. Well, that or a GPS. Which will inevitably lead you into a gully or a rock formation or a one-way, 6-foot-wide alley in Hackney, but it will do it in a beautifully plummy British accent which is very pleasant to listen to while awaiting the constabulary. My mother spent most of her Welsh holiday with my sister and I (both of us are reckoned to be better-than-average drivers by volume of accidents/lifetime mileage) in the backseat either moaning with terror or exclaiming at how lovely everything was. And that's the whole reason we would subject ourselves to the experience with clockwork regularity over bank holiday after bank holiday, even after assuring ourselves that no way, no how would we ever drive in the UK again. Because it was lovely. And it made me a better driver and really sharpened up my aging reflexes. So much so that we had the oddest experience while driving through suburban Chicago on the way out to Big Sky country. We kept passing these rather mystifying signs which seemed to indicate something exotic was happening on the road ahead. "What does that mean?" I probed my husband who frowned at the signs which indicated new road construction of a particularly befuddling sort. We both tensed. His brow finally started clearing and an expression of wonder stole over his face. "Honey….I think it's a roundabout !" And unlike all the hesitant, unsure Americans who dribbled cautiously into this new experiment in traffic control, we zipped in and through it like we were surfing a wave. Because I've driven from Islington to Land's End, to Llandudno, to Loch Lomond by way of the Yorkshire Dales, so baby, I am ready for anything . It's a lazy Sunday evening, the wind is gusting in and bringing rain. We deserve some nasty, intense, teenage kind of sex, don't we? You could just go straight to the fic: "I'm really not into this." Dom mumbled into Brian's neck. "I have a girlfriend." "I'd love to meet her." It felt like Brian was delicately catching his teeth on the edges of Dom's ear. "You…oh jeez." Dom flinched when Brian tugged at his nipple. "You date my sister." "Yeah, you said." Brian tilted his head back and looked thoughtful. "Funny how I haven't met her either." Dom ground his teeth to keep from groaning aloud. Brian had two fingers hooked in the elastic of his boxers now. Things were getting desperate. "How much have you had to drink?" "Why?" A slow smile spread across Brian's face. Dom leaned back into the long fingers which were cradling his head, stroking the back of his neck. "I'm not planning to operate heavy machinery or anything." Brian gave him a little nudge and Dom was back in a half-lean on the credenza again, shirtless and half-unbuttoned with his nipples constricting even though it was kind of warm and stuffy in here. The wall was cool at his back; surely it was just that contrast between warm and cool that was making him roll his shoulders tight to keep from shivering. Brian had one knee tucked beside Dom's

word count: 1,268 rating: PG-13 for language pairing/fandom: Jay/Mike if you squint (Hank Thompson trilogy) summary: a snippet of the boys' lives set post-book. who was really affected by Hank's presence? notes: something I just felt like writing, it's sort of like an experiment. "Yo! Take it easy with that shit, man!" Miguel chews his lip as he pulls his fingers away from my face. "Sorry. Shit, I. Well, it looks all healed up." "Yeah, but that don't mean you can go poking me with your big meaty fingers." "Man, they shoulda fuckin' left your jaw wired shut. Done the whole world a favor." He laughs. I grimace, rubbing my jaw and reclining on Mike's couch. It aches like a bad headache, my jaw, my cheek, my teeth. Doctor said that'll probably never completely go away. S'okay, I've dealt with worse pains. Mike crushes his Coors can easily in a fist and sets it next to a dozen others on the table before reaching for a new one from the cooler. I guzzle my own in silence. I'm behind a few, but I'm not feeling the buzz tonight. Sometimes all the constant partying just wears a guy out, you know? "Jay?" Fingers snap in front of my eyes. "Where the fuck are you? Quit spacing out, douchebag." "Man!" I grumble, swatting his hand away. "Fuck off, you fag. I ain't in the mood." "Thinking about scarface?" Mike asks calmly. He is instantly sobered, and I… well, I wasn't thinking about him, but I sure as hell am now. I rub at my jaw again. "No. I don't…" I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say. "Never mind. I don't want to think about it." He leans in close to me. For a while we sit like that, chugging beer, the TV on mute showing replays of last week's game. Mike grinning, slugging homers out of the park, hopping leisurely around the bases as if he was just going for a lazy jog. The boy was made for the game, that's for damn sure. And I… "Whatever they say, he was a good man." Mike says at length. "Who'd have fucking thought, that maddog killer?" He gives a weak laugh and I hum in agreement. He's close to me, his shoulder against mine. He's close to me but he's probably further away than he's ever been. He puts his head on my shoulder. He's practically recumbent - being nearly a fucking foot taller than me, he'd have to be to comfortably assume the position he has assumed. His hair brushes my neck, tickles my cheek, my ear. I feel hot. "Fuck're you doing, queer?" "Cram it. 'M taking a nap." He mumbles tipsily. "You make an excellent pillow, y'know." "Man, fuck you! This body is pure muscle and you know it!" "Maybe, but you'll never be no A-re-nas," He cackles, drawing his last name out as he slurps Coors. Yeah, no shit. Like he has to fucking tell me. Like I haven't known that since we were fifteen and he shot up a foot taller than me and no one ever looked at me again. I want to take the can away. I want to put my hand in his hair and pull him a little closer. I don't do either. "Go find some fucking pussy to give you a pillow, man." "Damn! Harsh!" He scowls. He seems to be genuinely annoyed with me this time. He's buzzed but not yet in danger of becoming really drunk, and I snatch his drink away before he can gulp it all down. He yelps in protest. "Yo! Cut that shit out, man! I'm drinking that!" "No, man. Just. That's enough." I shut the lid on the cooler beneath our feet and Mike grabs the sleeve of my shirt. "Jay. Don't." He growls. "I'll sock you, broken jaw or not." "Mike." "You ain't my fuckin' mom, so quit with the fuckin' trying to take care of me or whatever bullshit this is-" "Yeah? If I don't, who's gonna?" I snip, giving a little grin and tilting the rest of the half-drunk Coors down, hating how aware I am of the fact that the rim of the can is still warm from Mike's lips. I plant my feet firmly on top of the cooler, tossing the can I just emptied onto the floor while he splutters. He probably didn't really think I'd do it. I'm afraid he really is going to hit me, but he only glares, settling back into the far end of the couch. "Scarface woulda done," He mutters mutinously. "Quit fuckin' talking about him," I snarl, sweeping my leg through the pile of cans on the table and scattering them to the floor. We've been sitting here a while and as I eyeball the crushed beer cans strewn around us, I figure he's had three to every one of mine, and he's drunker than I estimated. But so am I. "Forget about that jackass." I'm sure he can't. It hit him hard, when the story broke on CNN the next day, when they found his body laying in the street. I wished I could have told him myself, because it was a million times worse coming from somewhere else like that, but having your jaw wired shut doesn't make for a whole fucking lot of conversation. But Mike liked the guy a lot, looked up to him a lot, and, thank fucking god, had the sense to keep his mouth shut about him over the next few weeks. Yeah, I'm sure it was hard, but was it as hard for him to go through as it was for me to watch? I rub my aching jaw and Mike channelsurfs, pointedly ignoring me. Flip, flip, flip. Every other channel is airing the same repeating footage of the FBI goons who issued the statement a week or so after they found scarface's body, or hauling in experts to ask the same fucking question over and over: Where's the goddamn money? Yeah, I looked in the box. I told Mike I didn't but I did. And I'm no stranger to money, even really fucking large amounts of money, but two million dollars in the bank and two million clean, untraceable, neatly-stacked dollars in a box are so vastly different it makes me sick thinking about it. Mike wouldn't open the box, and it's probably better that way, but I didn't have the strength, even though I think we both already knew what was in there before I took a peek. He locked it in his closet and we don't talk about it. He's starting to see sense, my boy. He's starting to get a grasp on what we almost got ourselves mixed right the fuck in with, and he's rethinking his priorities. He's starting to understand what's at stake here, and he doesn't want to lose it, and I don't want him to lose it, because if he does then I lose him. He's thinking, every day he's thinking about the day when someone's going to come around for that box, and he's thinking about the moment he finally gets to unload the thing on someone else, to get rid of the mental weight that having something like that around is pushing on him. And while he's thinking about all that, someone's gotta think about him, right? I pop open the cooler and fish a can of beer out of the soupy ice water, handing it over to Mike, a peace offering. He takes it and cracks it, closing the gap that he had put between us on the couch with a subtle ease. Like everything he does, making it look easy. I open a can for myself, leaning back as his shoulder nudges mine, and he flips back to the ball game. Source

bank Top
I'm losing my mind.... I have been coughing for like 3 weeks now. It's horrible, my chest hurts, I'm getting head aches and really fatigued. When I exhale hard my lung gurgle... I don't know how to describe that but it's this weird watery gross sound. It started off spitting up mucus and now its just this dry loud hacking cough. This morning I couldn't go more than a minute or two with out coughing... I was in a car with my family so I could see the clock. At night when I finally sit down... at like 9 or ten cause my body feels exhausted and sore to the point of not being able to move or stay up anymore... mind you I'm not getting up before ten and haven't been to the gym in over a week. I just got up and walked and my legs were shaking. I have no job at the moment, no health insurance, a seriously dwindling bank account and I'm honest to god waiting for blood to come out of my mouth. I'm starting to get scared... like honest to god scared. Both my parent's have smoked my entire life so lung cancer is always out in the back of my mind... not a great thought. Chronic Cough is symptom number one... I really hope this finally starts to subside. Source
 
G20 are fixing the wrong problem Top
By Nicholas Boys Smith As the G20 finance ministers met in London at the weekend, all the talk was of /bank ers' bonuses – specifically, how to make them smaller and more dependent on long-term performance. Alistair Darling and his French and German counterparts clamoured to out-tough each other. But the G20 finance ministers are fixing the wrong problem. If they are not careful they will make things worse. In the event, the politicians' enthusiasm for bashing /bank ers was tempered by a reluctance to make the tough decisions. The question of whether and how to cap the value of bonuses was left to the G20 leaders' summit in Pittsburgh in a few weeks. There is still much talk of capping each /bank 's total bonus pool at a proportion of revenue or profits, as mooted by Gordon Brown in his FT interview last week. The finance ministers' reluctance to make this choice reflects their inability to balance their populist inclinations with the underlying realisation that regulating bonuses will achieve precisely nothing. As I explain in my new essay for Reform , bonuses were not the cause of the financial crisis. They were its symptom. The real problem was the nature of /bank s' profits. Almost everyone /bank s, regulators and economists) thought they could measure risk more precisely than they actually could. This was compounded by the international regulatory framework which set up a flawed approach to evaluating balance sheet risk and incentivised /bank s to "securitise" their debt. The underlying problem was thus not that /bank s' bonus schemes were too short term /bank s' bonus schemes were too short term because their, and their regulators', understanding of risk was incorrect. To fix the bonus schemes, therefore, is to cure the symptom, not the illness. What is more, some of the organisations that failed most spectacularly were actually quite sensible in their approach to long term incentivisation. Over 30 per cent of employees at Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, for example, held shares in those /bank s. When it comes to /bank s in which the taxpayer now holds a majority stake, of course government has every right to dictate the terms of pay. But while it may be politically justifiable for politicians to take this course, they should not kid themselves that tinkering with /bank ers' bonuses will make a future crisis any more or less likely. These populist measures may make the public feel better. They will do nothing else. If the G20 leaders really want to do something in Pittsburgh, they need to start from a different premise. Rigid and very wide-ranging regulation did nothing to prevent the current crisis. In many ways it actually stoked the crisis. A more flexible approach is needed, based on transparency and judgement rather than fixed rules arising from arbitrary international trade-offs. The most useful thing that can be done at an international level is for a regulatory framework to be put in place that will allow /bank s to fail without jeopardising the entire financial system. A sensible consensus could make it easier for cross-border /bank s to be wound down without the market panicking, and allowing various parts of the business to be easily separated out and bought by competitors. This kind of process would allow the market to function properly, without risking the kind of global panic seen when Lehmans failed last October. Secondly, simple information on /bank stability and safety must be made more readily available. The risk, capital and information that /bank s file for their accounts and for their regulator should be clear, utterly transparent and available to all investors, depositors or commentators. Thirdly, a more flexible, judgement-based approach to capital, liquidity and balance sheets must be introduced, with the inflexibility of the current Basel II accords being addressed. These changes require international consensus. They also require level heads. Posturing by politicians may have been understandable at the height of the credit crunch. But months later, Alistair Darling and his colleagues need to start focusing on the real issues. The City is too important to the UK economy for our leaders to keep playing politics with its future.

The £3.4 billion budget for promoting a country called Europe Top
A new TPA report out today , written by my colleague Dr Lee Rotherham, reveals the startling size to which the EU's diplomatic corps has now grown. In total, the EU Commission's External Relations department now has a budget of £3.4 billion, a £55m property portfolio around the world and representatives to over 120 countries. Its ambassadors enjoy salaries of up to £244,000 and numerous generous and bizarre benefits from chauffeurs and expat allowances to adoption allowances, which presumably allow them to become Madonna copycats. Notably, this is entirely separate to the EU's international development budget, it is purely for representing the EU to other countries around the world. Confronted with the report by journalists yesterday, the EU Commission denied that they have a diplomatic service at all, saying: "There are no 'EU diplomats', just European Commission representatives pursuing contacts in the wide range of issues the Commission is responsible for, such as trade." Of course, it's not just trade they talk about. When you take into account the EU's actual powers, they are discussing agriculture, fisheries, business , bank ing regulation, trade, migration and a host of other important policy areas. A department of hundreds of people going round the world representing the EU's policies on all those issues and carrying out negotiations on the EU's behalf is quite clearly a diplomatic corps - whether the Commission want to call it that or not. This is clearly a cause for concern. While the Government harps on about Britain sitting at the top table of Brussels to maximise our influence, the EU's representatives around the world are using our money to promote a country called Europe. They don't just fly the flag for Brussels, they actively fund pro-federalism groups, placements and educational programmes everywhere from Canada to the Middle East. Not only is this a costly exercise, but these diplomats purport to represent Britain as part of the EU on crucial issues without ever having to answer to or consult us about it. This means that not only is our Parliament emasculated at home, but our international standing is being severely undermined abroad - and we are paying for it to happen. Of course, we still have the Foreign Office and its ambassadors around the world, but the EU's activities are at best a wasteful duplication and at worst a potentially fatal blow to the function of the FCO in representing Britain's interests. Given the regularity with which British interests are in conflict with EU policies, it is easy to envisage situations in which these EU representatives undermine the FCO (when and if the Foreign Office actually do stand up for Britain). Whether you like the EU project or not, this is a key question of accountability. Is it acceptable to have diplomats, who are totally unaccountable to the people, claiming to represent us globally? Is it acceptable for anyone to spend £3.4 billion of taxpayers' money every year without having to answer to voters or taxpayers? This problem is set to become more severe if the Lisbon Treaty comes into force. In the foreword to the report, Sir Antony Acland, the former British Ambassador to Washington DC warns that the Treaty will further extend the activities, responsibilities and powers of the EU's Diplomatic Corps - and as Dr Rotherham's research demonstrates, they are already far more powerful than most people had ever imagined.

One hundred reasons why Ireland should say 'no' (again) to Lisbon Top
Jim McConalogue, Editor of The European Journal and occasionally of this parish , has listed one hundred reasons why Ireland should again reject Lisbon. It was disclosed at the weekend that Ryanair are helping to bankroll the 'Yes campaign' which current opinion polling suggests is on course for victory. All of Jim's 100 reasons are listed below. I have coloured what I think are the most pertinent ones in 'hot pink': 1.      The European Union has already created massive pockets of unemployment, with countries such as Spain – who have ratified Lisbon – suffering with unemployment rates of 18%. Why should Ireland sign up to a failing European Union? 2.      About 450,000 people are unemployed, crushed by cuts, taxes, mortgage payments, on top of public bank-bail-outs and yet, the politicians who brought this upon Ireland are also asking for trust over the Lisbon treaty. 3.      MEPs claim up to €1,000,000 in expenses each term, while massive job losses continue on an everyday basis. 4.      Ireland remains a full member of the EU without the Lisbon treaty, and is in fact economically and politically better off without the treaty. 5.      If Ireland votes No, she will continue to have access to Europe's single market – the Lisbon treaty is concerned more with intensifying European government, using a constitutional document, which will crush trade, jobs and industry in Ireland. 6.      Foreign investment has actually increased since Ireland voted No last year. 7.      Under the Lisbon treaty, the EU can levy taxes on Ireland for the first time. 8.      150,000 Irish jobs, at least, are under threat through direct employment in multinational companies. Since Lisbon will interfere in taxation and the low corporate tax rate, those multinationals will simply leave for lands with lower corporate tax rates. 9.      Lisbon will not aid the recession – to the contrary, it will make it worse. 10.    The Lisbon treaty allows big business to import cheap labour and undercut Irish workers, in much the same way as it has done in labour disputes in the UK and the Nordic countries. 11.    The EU has created a programme for Ireland to cut public spending, enforcing tough cuts on ordinary people who are trying to make a living wage in difficult times.   12.    As Minister Brian Lenihan has said, massive and uncontrolled immigration of EU labour into Ireland helped to cause the crash. Overseas workers now make up almost 20% of Ireland's unemployed.   13.    Lisbon hands full control over immigration and asylum policy to the EU, under Article 79, for workers inside and outside the EU – from England to India.   14.    EU politicians have falsely assured people that on Lisbon, they are protected from EU changes to the law on abortion, taxation and defence, but those assurances are not part of the Lisbon treaty (Judge Frank Clark, Chairman of the Referendum Commission) and are not EU law – so Lisbon would in fact lead to changes on abortion, taxation and defence.   15.    Under the Charter of Fundamental Rights, attached to the treaty, the EU Court will decide on laws relating to abortion, raising children, marriage and euthanasia. It removes the voice of the Irish people on those issues.   16.    Lisbon weakens Ireland in the European Union: while countries such as Germany double their voting power to 17%, Ireland's voting power will be reduced from 2% to 0.8%. It means Ireland will have no say over key issues.   17.    Lisbon would drastically reduce Ireland's place in the European Union. It would reduce Ireland's representation leaving her completely isolated. There are new provisions to put EU law-making on a pure population size basis, just as in any unitary or federal state. At present, big states have 29 votes each in making EU laws and Ireland has 7 – a ratio of 4 to 1. Under Lisbon, EU laws would be made by a majority of the EU member states as long as they have 65% of the total EU population between them. Instead of the big states having 4 times Ireland's voting weight, as it is now, this change to a pure population basis would give Germany 20 times Ireland's weight and France, Britain and Italy 15 times each.   18.    Lisbon means that Ireland loses the right to veto harmful measures in over 60 areas. If a proposal comes up that Ireland cannot abide by, it will not have the power to block it, as she will have given up her veto.   19.    The treaty is a new European Constitution, which by law, will have superiority over the Irish Constitution. If it is accepted, the Irish people will give up their constitutional rights under the Irish Constitution and be subject to very different constitutional arrangements under the European Constitution.   20.    Under Lisbon, Europe assumes a new position over Irish national security: Article 61F pushes for the development of Super-Union cooperative arrangements, under which, the drive towards federalist cooperation is first supported actively by the Union for measures going beyond EU law, and second that such super-Union cooperative agreements will in turn become EU law.   21.    Ireland will abandon its traditional criminal justice procedures, since the Lisbon treaty will establish a massive and "fundamental change" to the structure of the European Union: it will abolish the pillar structure and move police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters to the EC treaty, thus enabling Ireland's police and justice system to be fully subject to Union interference. This will have serious implications because decision-making on police and judicial cooperation would no longer be intergovernmental and it will be subjected to European decisions.   22.    European Commission proposals on inheritance law would prevent farmers passing on family farms as a single working unit. If the Lisbon treaty is ratified, that will come into effect.   23.    The loss of the state's veto on trade and services such as health and education in the Lisbon treaty would lead to a significant weakening of the protection for public services.   24.    Ireland's EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy claimed that that 95% of EU member states would have voted No like Ireland did, had the treaty been put to a vote in other countries.   25.    A Yes vote would not only jeopardise farm succession rights but would also lead to a massive influx of Turkish farmers into the European Union.   26.    The Lisbon vote is also a vote on Turkish accession. It allows for a country of 75 million people to enter the EU, which would in fact double the number of farmers Ireland has, while also retaining the Common Agricultural Policy budget at existing levels.   27.    The Secretary-General of the Commission, who is an Irishwoman, Catherine Day, was instrumental in concealing from the general public the intention of the European Commission to harmonise inheritance and succession law.   28.    The European Commission interfered directly throughout Irelands' referendum process and even through the use of a web-site, particularly with critical comments on the 'Farmers for No', a group breaking away from the Irish Farmers' Association, which is backing a Yes vote.   29.    Is a Yes vote not merely a reflection of big finance from companies such as US multinational, Intel, spending several hundred thousand euros backing the Yes campaign?   30.    Irish fishermen will continue to having to struggle to survive financially while being forced to dump their catches at sea because of fishing quotas, and have higher operating costs because of the rules under the Common Fisheries Policy.   31.    Brussels' fishery policies blatantly favour non-EU imports and fleets of larger EU member states.   32.    The Lisbon vote is not about being at the heart of Europe or about being good Europeans. It is about the kind of Europe that Ireland wants.   33.    Lisbon will be implemented to limit Ireland's right to encourage Foreign Direct Investment, interfering in both tax advantages offered to foreign companies as well as conditions on state aid. Given the substantial number of Irish people employed by foreign companies in Ireland, handing over all this power to the EU is a dangerous step for Ireland.   34.    Declaration 17 on Primacy, attached to the Lisbon treaty, makes transparent that EU law succeeds Irish law in all existing and new areas covered by the Treaties, giving away and transferring Ireland's historic and democratic constitutional rights and freedoms.   35.    The increased militarisation of Europe is of great concern to many people who would prefer to see Ireland retain neutrality. In the referendums on Nice, Ireland was assured that a European Army would never happen, but now the basis for a common defence policy and EU battlegroups are in place. Lisbon looks toward a 'progressive framing of a common Union defence policy'.   36.    Pro-life laws will be overruled if Lisbon is passed, as it will only take one court case (such as the D case, funded by the Irish Family Planning Association) to come before the European Court of Justice. The ECJ will overrule on this. The Irish Government will have its hands tied since there would be absolutely nothing it could do to reverse the European decision, or indeed reverse Lisbon.   37.    Ireland already has the the Maastricht protocol, drafted to protect Ireland's pro-life amendment (Article 40.3.3), but this would be knocked down in the European Court, whose heightened powers under the Lisbon treaty would rule over that, or other, protocols, once the Charter of Rights attached to Lisbon came into effect.   38.    Lisbon threatens the freedom of conscience, expression and worship. The Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland have already denounced the European Commission's planned Equal Treatment Directive as "wholly unacceptable" because they said it would force Christians to act against their consciences. The Catholic Bishops say the Directive will result in sharply curtailing the rights of religious liberty and freedom of expression.   39.    Voters should reaffirm the decision they had made in the first referendum in June last year because "nothing had changed" in the treaty. People voted for a better deal for Ireland and Europe. Almost 1,000,000 people or 53% of the electorate rejected the Lisbon treaty on June 12th 2008. The Treaty was itself already abandoned by Europe, as the EU Constitution, in 2005, when both France and the Netherlands rejected it in referendums. It is entirely undemocratic.   40.    Lisbon expands the range of political situations in which European military forces can intervene. Under Article 28B, Lisbon will represent another grave step towards the federalist vision of a European fighting force.   41.    The European Commission's trade agenda promotes free trade, yet irrespective of the costs to European family farms and rural communities, or the world poorest communities and countries. Lisbon gives the EU exclusive competence over commercial policy, including the negotiating of international trade agreements.   42.    Ryanair Chief, Michael O'Leary, provided comments in support of the Lisbon treaty, but Irish voters need to ask themselves, does Ireland really want a Ryanair Europe?   43.    A second No vote would strengthen the hand of any Irish government seeking to negotiate a better deal for Ireland and the EU.   44.    The Lisbon treaty is the work of Bertie Ahern and Charlie McCreevy, along with Silvio Berlusconi, Jose Manuel Barroso and Nicolas Sarkozy.   45.    What would happen to employees of companies such as Waterford Glass or SR Technics, given that the Lisbon treaty imposes restrictions on state aid which might supposedly 'distort' the market?   46.    Since concerns over Irish neutrality and European militarisation were a key reason for voting No in the first referendum, according to the Irish Times and TNS surveys in May and June 2008, why should the Irish people accept the Lisbon treaty take two?   47.    Ireland is voting, in reality, on behalf of 490 million Europeans. Ireland is the only state, out of the 27 EU member states, to have a referendum.   48.    The reason why Ireland has a referendum is important: if the treaty is ratified it would transfer powers from the Irish Constitution to the EU and Irish law requires that any changes to the Constitution must be subject to a referendum. The Irish people gained this right because an ordinary Irish citizen, Raymond Crotty, took his case to the Supreme Court in 1986 to guarantee this right, in the case of EU treaties.   49.    The Charter rolls back workers' rights by failing to include a clause requiring the recognitions of trade unions.   50.    Ordinary Irish people would be denied their basic rights in the workplace. The ECJ, basing its judgements on the Charter, has recently ruled against Swedish workers' rights. In the Vaxholm case, the Latvian company Laval wanted to use Latvian workers in Sweden but would not agree to Swedish pay and conditions. Swedish unions opposed this treatment. The ECJ ruled that the union could only act to ensure the Swedish minimum wage was paid and no more; and that other Swedish employment agreements could not be imposed. It puts pressure on Irish workers to move towards minimum wage levels or risk losing their jobs. A No vote to Lisbon can be used to obtain
 
Update and fic (Right/Left) Top
Dudes, you'll note that fictional offerings will largely correspond to the prevalence of rain in Western Montana. Who knew that running a ranch could fill your days like this? Plus I also treated myself to a delightful long weekend with le blackmeow . You know you're from Montana when driving 500 miles to see a friend is business as usual. Shoot, I'd drive 7000 miles for blackmeow . Plus Yellowstone. Yellowstone rocked my socks. ixchel55 couldn't believe that I'd never seen it and...yeah, I got nothing. There is no excuse. Even though it is the Disneyworld of national parks, it is still magnificent. Glacier (national park) this weekend. Probably going to get snowed on. Wish me luck. Brian turned to look at him with a puzzled look on his face. Then he swallowed and suddenly seemed to become conscious of the fact that he was weeping like a child. Brian swiped at his face clumsily with both hands and curled up on himself. Dom tightened his grip and somehow he had both arms around Brian as Brian soaked his shoulder and gulped deep breaths against Dom's bicep. He could tell by the shudders as Brian's breath hitched just how hard Brian was fighting for control. Dom took a deep, uneasy breath and patted Brian's back awkwardly. Brian had fisted both hands in Dom's t-shirt at the shoulders and it was almost at the line of being painfully embarrassing. "God, I'm sorry." Brian jerked back, blowing his breath out and scraping at his face with his still-clenched fists. "Really sorry. Kinda lost it there." He didn't look at Dom. Dom dropped his suddenly-useless hands and cleared his throat. "It's cool, man. You're allowed." "This is heavy shit." Brian said under his breath. Dom watched Brian's jaw working under his skin. Brian needed to shave, but Dom wasn't going to suggest it. Anything that made Brian look his age could only be a good thing. "You gonna be okay?" Dom asked cautiously. When Brian stayed silent, Dom continued. "I feel bad, man. You probably have a concussion. I haven't been looking out for you like I should." "It's all right." The shadow of a smile flicked over Brian's face. "I mean, nothing hurts except my….bones." Dom picked up the tone. "And organs?" "Just the major ones." Brian shrugged and made a face to prove his point. He pressed his fingers into his jaw as if trying to measure the hurt. Dom picked the bottle of pills up from the credenza and brandished it. Brian frowned, but took it from him. Out of the direct sunlight from the window, he could see where a bruise crept out of Brian's hairline. "Hungry?" Dom stepped into the bathroom and turned on the taps, cupping his hand to splash water on his face. "How long have you been up?" "I could eat." When Brian reached up to rub the back of his head, his t-shirt rode up. He didn't answer the second part of the question. Dom took a couple of gulps of water and stood up. He examined his hollow-eyed, unshaven self. Took a deep breath. He could still see Brian, two mirrors' reflection away. Brian was absently rubbing his forehead again, scratching around the bandage. For some reason, looking at Brian had stopped reminding him of his failure and grief. He'd even stopped thinking about Brian's betrayal. This Brian was like a blank space on a map. Brian's predicament was so huge and fucked up; it almost eclipsed all the other hugely fucked-up things that had happened. "Where are we?" Brian squinted out the window again. "Dunno exactly." Dom scrubbed his face with a towel. His shirt was still wet with tears. "Banning. Indio, maybe." Taking a closer look at Brian's face, Dom said more quietly, "About 400 miles from Tucson. We can make it by this afternoon, easy." Brian tapped his fingers in a rapid rhythm on the window. He turned to look at Dom for the first time since he'd broken down completely. "Can I drive?" Dom was going to say no, just on general principles, in living memory no one but Torettos ever drove the Charger. But something made him check himself even in the moment he was opening his mouth to refuse. The keys jangled as he pulled them out of his pocket and flung them at Brian underhand. Brian caught them easily. ********* "So what do I do?" Brian kept his eyes forward. "You haven't explained that bit. Seems like that'd be easy. I work with you." Dom kept himself from sighing by a very thin margin. "You know that other business card you have? The Racer's Edge?" "Sounds like a parts supplier." Brian rejoined and glanced at Dom for confirmation. "Yeah. You make deliveries for them." Brian made a face and Dom said, "What? It's an honest job." He put a little emphasis on the word 'honest'. "Nah, I'm sure it's a great job." Brian looked over at him skeptically. "For an eighteen year old, it'd be kick ass." "So what's your problem?" Dom leaned into the door, so he could watch Brian's face. "My license says I'm twenty-five." Brian said. "Just…I'd have thought…I'd have come further by now." "Oh you've come further all right." Dom said under his breath. Brian said. "What?" He pitched his voice to carry over the engine. "Nothing." Dom found himself wondering if Brian had kept anything incriminating back at Harry's. He wondered idly what they had on Harry. "So what do I do for you?" Brian sounded like he was asking this casually, but Dom saw how his hands tightened on the steering wheel. "The Racer's Edge is business, what you do for me is…" Dom trailed off, realizing he'd been about to say 'pleasure' which wouldn't have sounded right at all. "You race for me. You help out around my place." You date my sister. We are friends. "Thought I lost my race with you." Brian squinted at a road sign. "Thought maybe I kind of sucked." For the first time that day, Dom grinned. It kind of hurt his face. "You've got potential. And I don't say that about everyone." "I've got potential, huh?" Brian still looked dubious. The grin fell off Dom's face when he realized he should have said you had potential . "I like racing with you." Dom said dully. "You don't have much polish, but you're…fearless. You really…commit." Brian bobbed his head but it didn't look like he believed Dom. The silence stretched out in the empty miles. "So, you really can't tell me anything more about…me?" Brian wrapped up the sentence sheepishly. He made a pained expression at the horizon which was already hazing with desert dust. Dom sighed and scratched his eyebrow. "We've only known each other a little while and you don't talk much about yourself." Dom felt a hot splash of anger fountain up inside when he said that. They were approaching Coachella. Highway 86 was just a few exits up the road. He gripped the seat back hard with his left hand, just to have something to be doing with it that wasn't punching Brian O'Conner. The anger felt weird though. Twisted up, backwards, turned around. There was an outlet mall blooming out of nothing. Another strip mall curled off of it, almost receding into the haze. "Turn off here." Dom growled, cutting off whatever Brian was going to say. "I need to buy a cell phone." ****** "Mia?" "He's okay." She said without preamble. Dom shut his eyes and rubbed his forehead. She was so clever; he couldn't ever decide if it was a blessing or a shame. "Ol' coyote's hard to kill." Dom muttered. "How about you, you all right?" "I'm all right. Can't talk long." She sighed into the phone. "You okay?" Dom made a non-committal noise. Her voice got slightly muffled and pitched lower. "Apparently, Brian's gone AWOL." Dom took a deep breath. He looked through the windshield at Brian who was slumped back, basking in what was turning into punishing sunlight. "Are they hassling you?" "They've got some odd theories." Dom waited for Mia to elaborate. When she didn't, he shifted his weight foot to foot and wondered how to end the call. "Remember what I said." She said abruptly and then the dial tone was loud in his ear. Brian sat up and stretched when Dom slung himself back into the Charger. It seemed like he was moving with a little more ease. "So," Brian started brightly. "Why don't you tell me about yourself?" Dom shook his head. "No." "No?" Brian looked incredulous. "Really? No?" "Shut up and drive." Dom growled and for a moment that was that. "Are you, like, a serial killer?" Brian cut his eyes sideways at Dom. "Is that why the cops are after us?" "That were so, I wouldn't let you drive the car." Dom snorted. "Maybe you're the serial killer, have you thought of that?" To his mingled horror and amusement, Brian actually seemed to be considering the idea. "I do have a serial-killer name." Brian mused, looking over slyly to check Dom's reaction. Dom snorted again and then paused. "I said that to you once. You remember?" Dom asked sharply. Brian looked blank for a second and then frowned deeply as if he were searching for something that stayed persistently lost. "Maybe. Like…vaguely." "That's good." Dom said, not meaning it. ******* Despite the potential for trouble inherent in the Charger, Brian kept it pegged at the limit for over two hours. By which time they needed gas again. The Charger drank gas like a frat boy at a kegger. They switched off and Dom drove just as sedately. They pulled through Phoenix during its hellish rush hour and they got to Tucson at dusk. "Does any of this look familiar?" Dom had pulled into another random gas station. He and Brian looked out at the cookie cutter suburban landscape while the gas pumped. Brian frowned, shook his head and then trudged into the station. He came out unfolding a map like a flag. Dom paid. When he returned, Brian was leaned over the trunk, tracing his fingers over the spread-out map and chewing on his lower lip. It made Dom vaguely uncomfortable. He figured it was because Brian was still wearing his clothes. Brian was so intent; he didn't seem to notice Dom until Dom was at his elbow. "It's a couple of exits up." Brian re-folded the map, leaving the relevant sections up front. He didn't look at Dom, almost like he was afraid of looking at him. Like Dom was going to suddenly decide he wasn't worth the hassle and leave him on the side of the road. "Just tell me where to go." Dom slung himself back into the Charger, hating the dust, hating the uncertainty, hating himself. ********* "Turn right here." Brian pointed at the stop sign just ahead. The light was really starting to fade; the mountains on the horizon were turning a deep purple. Brian was tracking their progress on the map carefully for which Dom was grateful. They'd entered the maze-like subdivision ten minutes ago and Dom was convinced these houses hadn't actually been built, but cloned. They were all post-war white clapboard, one-story homes with attached garages and the only thing that distinguished them was their mailboxes. "Should be up here on the left." Brian was starting to fidget. Dom slowed down so Brian could check the street numbers. "Keep moving, keep moving, keep moving." Brian chanted suddenly. Dom flinched as Brian slid down into the footwell as smoothly as a rope uncoiling. "Don't stop. Don't even pause." Dom did as he was told, trying his best not to juice the gas at all. They were almost at the end of the block and he had to turn left or right. Adrenaline made his jaw tingle. He chose left and was relieved to see the flashing white and red lights of traffic on a larger road. "What's the story?" He mumbled at the top of Brian's head. Brian's cheek was almost pressed into Dom's knee. Brian's eyes flashed in the faint light. "Anyone following you?" Dom flicked a glance at every mirror. "Nothing. All clear." Brian blew out his breath and scrambled back up to sit properly. "Cops back there." Dom swallowed. "I didn't see them." "They were in the cross street. Angled view on the house." Brian started to chew on his thumbnail. "You sure it was cops?" Dom asked trying to take a deep breath of the suddenly tense air. "Pretty fucking sure." Brian had half turned around to look at the street behind them. "Don't quite know why two dudes would be just sitting in a Buick in a neighborhood like this otherwise." "How'd you know they were there?" Dom found he couldn't shake his sudden jitters. "Just…had a feeling." Brian turned back around and reached out the window to adjust the side mirror. "Shit." Dom said sincerely. Brian thumped his fist on the dashboard in agreement. "What. The. Fuck." Brian said almost to himself. He closed his eyes and frowned like he was saying a difficult prayer. "What do you want to do?" They were at one of the neighborhood's outlets, facing north. Dom looked out into traffic, on red alert for sirens. Brian slumped back into the seat and looked over. "Tell me the options." Dom tapped on the steering wheel with both thumbs. "We could park it. Come up to the place from the back." "Oh yeah." Brian rubbed his eyes. "That's not in any way suspicious or likely to get us arrested." "Work with me here." Dom tamped down his temper. Brian turned to look back at the neighborhood. "Let's ditch this for now. If my family is there, they'll be there tomorrow." "So what's the play?" Dom turned into traffic. "Buy you dinner?" Brian's eyes turned silver in the lights on the strip. "We need to talk." ****** They got a booth at a TGI Friday's which was noisy enough that they could speak without using low, urgent tones. Brian flipped through the menu without
