Making the World a Better Place

Reducing Racially Motivated Violence

The Love of Money is the Root of all Evil

There are relationships in society between politicians, companies and voters/consumers. But in capitalist society money comes before humans. For example, The World Bank, IMF, and WTO have between them killed more people than World War 2. Capitalist politicians are more of a hindrance to the environment than companies. Businesses are now coming round to the idea that it is cheaper to reduce CO2 emissions than not too, but this is still a money oriented way of looking at things, rather than deciding what is right and wrong. Scientists battle it out with many in the Media in favour of the status quo in their attempts to influence the voter/consumer.

New Labour Fights Back

19 May 2007

Dear Site Visitors

There has been a constant criticism of ‘New Labour’ recently. ‘New Labour’ came about when self confessed Marxist Brian Gould asked for a slogan at a political meeting. After some thought I came up with the slogan and asked that the middle class vote be captured with it. The best way of doing this would be by surveying what policies the middle class would like in order to maximise the Labour vote. Up to two fifths of the middle class vote Labour and we need their votes in order to form a government, so this is actually a sensible policy. It’s importance is increased because, although the Left has all the best policies, it usually cannot sell them to the electorate due to sustained press political bias. The press could be regulated by law so that the amount of political comment was based proportionally on how many votes each Party won at the previous election, as the BBC does with it’s ‘yellow book.’

Brian Gould, who went on to be a Labour Leadership challenger, seemed to be a safe pair of hands to put the ‘New Labour’ plan in. But on losing the Leadership election Brian Gould soon threw his rattle out of the pram and the ‘New Labour’ plan was taken over by others who were not so left wing. It would seem that the criticisms coming in about the ‘New Labour’ project are that there is a rule by diktat instead of the Labour Party being a genuinely popular Party. However, unless the left accepts the need for press regulation of political content controlled by law there is no point in going back to the left dictating the policies of the Labour Party because these policies will not get voted for. If we do not democratise the press then we are left with social survey. I sincerely hope that the Gordon Brown both democratises the press and puts the policy of social survey back into the spot light, not just on taxation rates, but on a whole raft of policies. It looks like it will be increasingly necessary to engage with the electorate in order to form the next Government, and that is what we must do.

Maximising the Labour Vote Under PR

12 May 2007

Dear Site Visitors

There is a need for a revitalised Labour Party in Scotland and Wales. The Mass Party Campaign has been campaigning since 1982 for an amendment of the Labour Party constitution 9 (2) (a) from ensuring there is a Labour Party branch in every Constituency, to having a Labour Party branch in every City, Town, and Village. We can only maximise the Labour vote under proportional representation by ensuring that there is Labour representation everywhere. This change in policy will take time and commitment by Labour Party activists, but is certainly worth doing in order to get the results that our supporters need. We do not have to see the Labour Party being the second party of Scotland. What we do have to see is some long term planning by the new Labour Leadership.

Cutting CO2 Emissions Produced by Vehicles

29 March 2007

Dear Site Visitors

I am writing to you about the possibility of minimizing the purchasing of gas guzzling vehicles, and instead increasing the purchasing of greener and smaller vehicles. There are lists of vehicle models and their respective CO2 emissions. We should use these lists to alter the amount of vehicle insurance paid each year, with high CO2 emission vehicles being far more expensive and the savings made being passed on to those vehicles with lower CO2 emissions. Vehicle insurance would then take into account the damage that vehicle drivers do to the environment. The market would then respond by building cleaner models.

Whilst the Labour Government cannot go so far as to ban vehicles entirely, we can at least cut CO2 emissions from the vehicles we have by this simple method. This will help us to reach our target of 60% less CO2 than in 1990.

Yours faithfully

The Value Put on Referendums

24 February 2007

Dear Site Visitors

Social studies reveal that countries that allow the populace to have regular referenda on all manner of issues have contentment that has a monetary value. In order to increase the feeling of wealth in the country we need only allow the populace a vote in referenda. People would rather be able to vote on the replacement for, say, the Trident Missile deterrent than have money. Life is seen to be more valuable when you have a say on the matters that are important to you, and it is arrogant for politicians to make choices in your best interests. Referendums are a way to improve upon present democracy.

Quacks and Con Artists in the Nuclear Industry

29 January 2007

Dear Site Visitors

Quacks in the nuclear industry are spending £6.6 billion of taxpayers money on The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, which is going too be too little and too late to make a dent in global warming.

As to the con artists, it was worked out that nuclear electricity is four times more expensive than conventional, and thus the lie that it would be too cheap to meter was finally nailed. It also takes more energy to build and power nuclear power stations than they can ever generate themselves. More cons from the nuclear industry include European finance breaks that prop up an unprofitable means of generation. Costings do not take into account the need to keep lethal levels of radiation in a safe place for a million years. No account has been taken of what the human race will have evolved to in such a time scale, and ignores the serious and regular accidents that get white washed all too fast. The nuclear power plant at Forsmark, Sweden last year is just one more minor headline where a catastrophic accident was avoided, this time by one person breaking the safety procedures in place. The proposed power plants in the UK will be computerised and this will not be possible again.

Now that we have dealt with the quacks and con artists we can look at a cheap alternative. In just one year we could convert all power stations in the UK to geothermal energy just by digging a lined and capped bore hole approximately ten kilometres deep that is filled with water. Because the ground heats up the further down one digs, and turbine generators generate electricity using steam at three times boiling point, all we need to do is dig down until the temperature reaches three times boiling water. The amount of energy produced depends simply upon how wide the bore hole is. And because we are converting instead of building new, for the price of the proposed new nuclear power plants in the UK, we can convert all the power stations we have, and thus reach government targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

And has the Labour Party in opposition and government been listening to this idea over the last twenty years? Well, let’s just say I had to put an advert in the left wing 'Tribune' magazine in time for the last Party conference. Protest and survive!

Yours faithfully

Does Your Local Nuclear Power Station Have My Safety Device Installed?

17 January 2007

Dear Site Visitors

When the nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986 happened Mikhail Gorbachev made an international appeal for ideas to minimise the amount of radiation that was being released by the crippled nuclear power station. I came up with an idea that got used.

My invention was a sprinkler system filled with heavy water, which was in turn linked to a Geiger counter. Thus, when the radiation level got too high, the sprinkler system would come on and the heavy water would dampen down the radiation.

In spite of my contacting my Member of Parliament as to whether or not my invention was being used in UK nuclear power stations, she was not able to tell me because it was an official secret. I am most concerned as to whether my safety device is being used routinely in the world’s nuclear power plants.

If you are interested in lobbying your local nuclear power station over the matter, I would also like to point out that, at this time, I have not yet been paid for my invention!

Yours faithfully

Keeping the Union Link with Party Funding

16 January 2007

Dear Site Visitors

The soul of the Labour Party has always come from the Trade Unions and it is not in the best interests of the health of the Labour Party to break this link. We must therefore resist any attempts to make a disastrous break with this valued tradition. We must also be aware that with a ‘spending race’ continuing, the Trade Unions, with a shrinking membership, cannot compete forever with big business.

It would be simple to say that the Labour Government should force all share holders to vote for a levy to the Conservative Party, in the same way as the Conservative Government forced Trade Union members to vote on the political levy to the Labour Party. However, this is just a form of Gerrymandering designed to knobble the opposition party, rather than an attempt to get a fair system of Party funding.

There has been a large and vocal voice in the Labour Movement in our history that have wanted proportional representation. What I would suggest, as a supporter of F-P-T-P, is that Party Funding be capped in order to end the spending race in Elections. The cap should be based on the proportion of votes a Political Party gets at the previous election, be it European, General, or Local.

In this way the Labour Party would be tied to 38% of the total spend at the next General Election, whilst the Conservative Party would have 33%, and the Liberal Democrats would have 23%. This funding would come directly from the taxation system. There would have to be a threshold point in order to minimise extremist Parties such as the BNP from making headway.

However, traditional funding to the Political Parties would still be allowed. For the first five to ten years it would only be allowed to be used to clear the debts of the Political Parties brought about by their overspending in order to buy votes. Once the debts of the Political Parties had been brought to zero, any traditional political funding would be used to ease the tax burden. Any money coming into the Labour Party from the Trade Unions, for example, would be subtracted from the figure coming in from the taxation system. Inflation would be taken into account.

My way of Party funding would ensure that the Trade Union link is kept, that the Labour Party is injected with the regular shots of socialism that it needs in order to work for the majority of the population, that the ‘spending race’ is kept in check, and that there is transparency for the voter. It would also be nice that the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats were not always outspent by the Conservative Party.

Dear Site Visitors

Government Health minister Rosie Winterton has now admitted that twenty five mentally ill people commit suicide every week, and that one person a week is murdered by a mentally ill patient. I invented a quick and permanent cure for mental illness twenty six years ago, the Kadir-Buxton Method. The medical profession has swept the astonishing results achieved by it under the carpet as it would eliminate the need for the psychiatric profession. Whilst the psychiatrists have kept their lucrative jobs where they are paid per patient head, and per drug prescribed, 35,152 citizens lay dead. The number of dead from mental illness since the invention of the Kadir-Buxton Method is nearly thirteen times the number of those killed in ‘The Twin Towers’ bombing which lead to both a massive outcry combined with spending and action by the British Government.

The Government, and Rosie Winterton must bring into use the Kadir-Buxton Method now. Mental illness effects one quarter of us during our life times, and yet it could be cured in just thirty seconds by the practice nurse at the local surgery. The cost of mental illness, according to ‘The Ecologist’ is £100 billion a year, and yet untreated people in the Third World get better quicker than UK patients in the drug oriented system here.

First-Past-The-Post Voting System for Israel

3 December 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I disagree with Israeli politician Shimon Peres when he says that Middle East settlement may not be a political one. The worst excesses of Israel since its’ inception have been due to proportional representation allowing small religious zealot political parties to dictate policy in return for power. In order to secure peace we must have first-past-the-post. Anti-Arab policies will then be moderated, and thus settlements can be negotiated more willingly.

Full Employment for War Torn Countries

3 October 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I am writing to you on the subject of minimizing hostilities in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I start by explaining my work in ending the first Intifada before enlarging on this work for the hostilities in such countries as Iraq and Afghanistan.

The first Intifada took place because of the absolute poverty of the Palestinian people. I managed, by a somewhat devious route, to get the UN to dig enough water wells in Palestine for everyone to have a supply of fresh water. Each water well cost £2,000, and provided enough water for 50,000 people. Each water well quadruples the food supply, so the Palestinians had both enough water and food, along with a surplus of food which they could sell. (On top of this, Birth Rates drop to Western Levels when water wells are dug, this is known as the Buxton Gap)

During the Iran/Iraq War I got the UN to dig enough water wells for everyone in both countries, starting with the combat zones. This so pleased the populations that their Governments soon invited the UN in to broker a peace deal. The water wells are still in existence in Iraq, I know of someone who served in Iraq and used my water wells.

What we need is more water wells in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what I am saying that is new, is that we also need full employment in order to get economic stability. This is easy, the UK Labour Government have been using the five Buxton Coefficients of Unemployment to create full employment along with month after month of economic growth. However, in order to prevent pockets of unemployment in Iraq and Afghanistan which would be hot beds for unrest, we must use the five Buxton Coefficients how I meant them to be used in the UK, with every single region using them. The respective Governments must be taught my inventions, how to use them in each region, and that they bring in more by taxation than they cost to use.

I hope that you will see the wisdom of creating full employment in all war torn countries, once the people are happy there is less need to fight.

Yours faithfully

Preventing the Extinction of Fish Species

16 September 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Fish in the wild are being over exploited, and whole fish species face extinction. But there is an easy way of preventing these extinctions. An international law should be passed which ensures that the gonads of all fish caught are liquidised, the fish are usually gutted anyway so this would not be a great hardship for the fishermen. Once liquidised, artificial fertilization takes place, and after twenty four hours the fertilized fish eggs can be released into the sea. It does not matter where the eggs are put back because the fry of each species find their way back to the environment they originally come from.

In this way, the sea can be repopulated, and fishing can even become sustainable.

Using Heavy Horses in the Third World

16 September 2006

Dear Site Visitors

We often hear how up to date technology is inappropriate for the Third World. One example would be that of a charity that sent tractors to Africa to help fight famine. Petrol was too expensive for the farmers and so the unused tractors rusted in the field. What can be more readily used is intermediate technology. I would like to see Heavy Horses used in the Third World. Whilst they are little used in the West except as historic exhibits, if used in the Third World, they could each do the work of two water bison, and yet eat less food than the two. They are still a great leap forward from the hand plow and so the amount of land cultivated could be increased from subsistence level to that of profit. Heavy Horses enjoy the heat and would be able to breed regularly, instead of gradually dying out in the West.

Yours faithfully

The Labour Government is promising a debate on the replacement of Trident, which is expected at the moment to cost £25 billion. The debate should not be left to a handful of citizens who just happen to be elected representatives attempting to hold onto their seats and salaries. Yes, these politicians can put their views on the matter across to the electorate, but it is the electorate who should make such an important matter in a referendum.

I know that the £25 billion a year price tag does not take into account the cost of keeping high level radioactive waste safe for millions of years, and the number of nuclear power stations necessary to create the war heads. The referendum must also bring up the cost in human lives of spending this amount of money for millions of years in such ways as lowering the potential of the health service, and the number of suicides created by the unemployment such a long term project will cause. Even the Conservative Party of the 1980s admitted that the money spent on the Trident Missile system was having an adverse effect on the unemployment rates.

I am sure that the right wingers in both the political system and the media will spend a lot of money saying that the UK needs a replacement for Trident, but the electorate have less to loose personally than career politicians.

U-Turn Needed on Nuclear Energy from Tony Blair

Dear Site Visitors

Tony Blair has come out in favour of more nuclear power stations in the UK, and various governments are to spend £6.6 billion on The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. Now, instead of Chernobyl exploding with the power of an Atom Bomb, we are to have power stations going off with the force of a Hydrogen Bomb. As well as being dangerous, nuclear generated electricity is four times more expensive than most alternatives. And all at vast expense paid for by the poor oppressed tax payer. What we need is low tech electricity generation which does not have career scientists lying to the electorate about safety and price issues.

The answer has been around for a long time. A Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator is a lined and capped well, filled with water, which is ten kilometres deep. Because the ground heats up at a constant the deeper one digs, the cap of the well is at three times boiling point, the precise temperature at which power stations generate electricity with their turbine generators. Any power station can easily be converted to Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators. The power they can generate is only limited by how wide the well is dug, and energy generation greater than nuclear power stations is easily possible. I once muted the possibility that a sufficiently large Buxton Geothermal Power Station could power gigantic refrigeration units at both Poles so that the melting of the ice caps could be reversed and then maintained. Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators are cheaper and faster to build than nuclear power stations, generate more electricity and are far cleaner. And of course the electricity generated is cheap because there are no technically sophisticated and expensive parts, and no expensive waste to care for.

Only one Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator has been built, in the then West Germany, by Helmut Kohl, generating as much electricity as a nuclear power station. Because is was classified as an official secret in Germany no publicity is made of my invention, this in spite of the fact that UK politicians of the time went to see it. Now would be a good time to campaign for more to be built.

Yours faithfully

Dear Site Visitors

The Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator is a lined and capped well ten kilometres deep The deeper one digs, the hotter the temperature becomes. A well filled with water to the depth of ten kilometres brings super heated steam to the surface at three times boiling point. This is the temperature at which electricity is generated. Any power station can be converted to geothermal energy, the amount of electricity generated depends simply upon how wide the well is bored. I persuaded Helmut Kohl to build one in the then West Germany. Unfortunately it became a state secret so nothing has been heard of it since.

I calculated, when I first went over the figures for the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator, that a well dug a quarter of a mile across would provide double the amount of electricity used by everyone on earth today. This would be more than sufficient for my next proposal that I put to you.

I suggest that a Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator be built on land near both Poles. An enormous freezer unit is built at both Poles and powered by under water power cables from the two Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generators. The power passed to the two freezer units could be adjusted regularly to bring the ice caps back to their normal size, and then just to keep up with the amount of melting after this point.

Such a large project would take central planning. The finances could come from The G8, The European Union, or members of The United Nations.

Moving Water from Scotland to London Using Present

Canal System

2 March 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I am writing to show my concern over compulsory water meters in the region of Folkestone and Dover Water. Water meters are a tax on the poorest in society, and also those with young families. A far cheaper and fairer way out of the permanent shortage of water in the South East is to bring water from Scotland were there is a large excess in water reserves. To transport quantities of water from Scotland is cheaper than one might think. Old canal ways that fuelled the industrial revolution went from Scotland all the way to the South of England. It is possible, by simply digging silt out of a few redundant water ways, to reopen this route. Water flows from the Highlands of Scotland downhill to the south of England without having to be pumped up hill in any place. The amount of water that can be transported by this method is more than can be used in London at least. The remainder can be transported to other regions, or used to increase the water levels of underground aquifers.

Spreading the use of Cheap Rate Electricity, and

Improving the Quality of the Economy 7 Radiator

26 February 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Economy 7 is an invention of mine from 1974. Cheap rate electricity at night for the consumer is a result of it. Countries have to have extra power stations because there is a big drop in electricity demands at night. The only thing an electricity generating company can do about this is shut down power stations. But it takes longer to shut down a power station and then restart it than there are hours in the night. Thus extra power stations are needed to cover for this over run. With Economy 7, more cheap electricity is bought by the consumer during the night, and so less power stations have to be switched off. There is then less need for the power stations that are covering and so there is a drop in the number of power stations needed.

One problem I have with Economy 7 is that when I invented it I asked that space age technologies be used to build hot water tanks and radiators. While the water tanks are well lagged with foam, the radiators, instead of keeping their heat until when it was needed in the cold of the evening, leaked heat when it is not needed because they are made of thin metal. Once the Economy 7 radiators are used to trap the heat in using space age technologies like I envisaged, then heat will only be given out when the vents on the radiator are opened. I would like to see all countries install Economy 7 in to all electricity users homes and companies. And, of course, if at least one company were to build a website advertising Economy 7 then I would be most pleased.

Economy 7 can and should cause a dramatic cut in Greenhouse gases.

Cheap and Clean Electricity Generation

12 February 2006

Dear Site Visitors

Decades ago I invented the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator, which is a lined and capped well ten kilometres deep. The deeper one digs, the hotter the temperature becomes. A well filled with water to the depth of ten kilometres brings super heated steam to the surface at three times boiling point. This is the temperature at which electricity is generated. Any power station can be converted to geothermal energy, the amount of electricity generated depends simply upon how wide the well is bored.

Now that the Cold War is over there is no need to have expensive nuclear power stations that produce weapons grade plutonium, with a side product of electricity at four times the price of any other form of electricity generation. This official figure does not take into account the cost of safe storage of lethal levels of radioactive materials for millions of years, a cost which will depress the economies of all countries that have nuclear power stations for this length of time. In comparison, the Buxton Geothermal Turbine Generator is cheap to build, maintain, and does no harm to the environment.

Popular Taxation Rates

12 February 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I have been campaigning for years to get the taxation policy of the Labour Party set by opinion poll of all the classes as to how much they are willing to pay by way of taxation. I succeeded in getting the Labour Party to adopt my idea once, The Shadow Chancellor was all in favour of it and my policy was extremely popular with the electorate. I would like my idea to be taken up by the Labour Government now. A popular tax rate for all classes at the next General Election will win the election for us, regardless of who is Prime Minister.

Dear Site Visitors

I am most concerned about the claims that making racist cartoons is the use of free speech.

I maintain that if when one uses ones freedom to make a comment that subtracts from another person’’s freedom, in this case to practice a religion unhindered, then a crime has been committed. An international law must be applied that gives those that have their rights attacked by free speech should be protected under national laws. I would certainly like to see such a fundamental freedom developed in Europe, and hope that you will act with me on this matter.

Slashing Petrol Burnt by 50%

26 January 2006

Dear Site Visitors

I am very concerned about the environment, and so am informing you of this invention, even though it is not my own. It was seen by me on the TV program "Tomorrows’’ World" in The UK decades ago. In the program an Inventor had managed to get oil and water to mix, and then burned the resulting mix in a car engine. He had found that an ultrasonic vibrating dibber (probe) would mix petrol and water permanently. (A friend of mine at The University of Hertfordshire who was lecturing in Chemistry confirmed that an ultrasonic vibrating dibber (probe) did have this effect.) The mix was 50% petrol, and 50% water. After adjusting the carburetor the car ran well, the main emission from the exhaust pipe being water. The said Inventor was attempting to put an even higher percentage of water into the mix to make driving even more economical. As the invention came to nothing I can only assume that some rich oil company bought his patent and then buried the invention so that they could sell more oil. However, the patent will now have expired anyway, so I would like to see this excellent invention resurface.

I therefore ask you to join me in a campaign for a scheme similar to the way that unleaded petrol was brought in, to bring this in too. Within a couple of years the amount of petrol burnt on the roads of Europe could be cut by at least half, car pollution will be halved and hopefully driving expenses will also be cut, presumable by almost half. With oil becoming an increasingly scarce resource this Invention is too good an opportunity to miss. I do not have the financial resources to bring this Invention into production, but we have a duty to. I would appreciate it if you could help ensure that the trials of the Invention, and it’’s coming into production are swift.

I also assume that this method could be used to convert diesel vehicles, and of course, oil burning power stations. This invention will go a long way to achieving international reductions in Greenhouse Gas emissions and it is far too important to ignore. I therefore look forward to your action in this matter.

The military industrial complex has to be subsidized by the tax payer in order to make a profit. But in order to make use of these subsidies their weapons have to be sold, and a large amount of funding and lobbying of politicians results. My answer is that in order to create an atmosphere for peace we need to have international rules that prevent political lobbying by the Arms Industry, combined with the prevention of holding Shares in the Arms Trade by both politicians and secret service agents. (Secret Services have been know to lie to Heads of State in order to start wars and lengthen The Cold War)

The money at present spent on arms is non productive and thus takes money out of the money supply. With my peace plan, as the money supply increases, so money making production will increase. This would thus boost the world economy and lift many in the World out of poverty.

Yours faithfully
