Steve Baker, MP: New Year's message
2012 was an extraordinary year for Great Britain.
Up and down the country, we came together in a spontaneous outpouring of neighbourliness and community spirit to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of our beloved Queen with passion, affection and good humour.
Her reign is now the second longest in history and, despite the ups and downs, it has seen an unparalleled growth in the health, wealth and happiness of the British people.
If we ever needed a reminder of how precious the British way of life is, it was to look around at strangers drinking and singing together without a tank parade or any other feeble bombast of here-today-gone-tomorrow republics in sight.
That also would make any year exceptional.
But we also held one of the best – if not the best – Olympic and Paralympic Games in modern history.
Our construction and service sectors, assisted by an army of volunteers and the actual Army too, delivered an Olympic experience of virtually flawless excellence that has set a new standard for the future.
And on top of all that, our sportsmen and women achieved 29 gold, 17 silver and 19 bronze medals, Britain’s best haul in more than a hundred years when the competition was nothing like as tough or as numerous.
Although the economy has still not recovered from the debt crisis, the private sector has created around 1,000,000 new jobs since the Coalition came to office and there are 500,000 more people in work than last Christmas. 24,000,000 hard working people have had their income taxes cut, the fuel duty rise has been cancelled and Council Tax has been frozen for the third year in a row.
Under David Cameron, someone on the minimum wage has had their income tax bill halved and the deficit has still been cut by a quarter.
Tragically, we still lose soldiers in Afghanistan – and save a special thought for their families this Christmas – but the Army’s deployment there continues to be reduced. It will be halved by the end of next year.
2013 cannot possibly repeat the national rejoicing and sporting triumph that were brought us by the Jubilee and the Olympics, but let us all hope and work for a year in which prosperity begins to return.
In future years of peace and plenty, when we look back upon these tough times, we should all be able to say we played our part in bringing Great Britain through.

Everyone knows the Tories just wanted to cut tax for the well off, it was the Lib Dems that have ensured that the lowest wage earners have been taken out of tax completely and that ordinary tax payers are getting a further tax cut in April.

You may wish to hang on to the utterly ridiculous notion that spending vast amounts on pomp and ceremony, or that Olympic ritual as being positive, but the ugly truth, it has done nothing to curb the destruction of our economy and the lives of vast numbers of people.
You even make mention of more dead young men and women in that war of attrition being waged at the behest of these globalist killers, as ever failing entirely to acknowledge its less savoury ambition of destroying that place and our armed forces.
That Positive Money movement, whilst perhaps perceived as a laudible attempt or gesture to stave of this economic armageddon, has failed so far to save lives or families.
I suggest you take a trip down to the homeless shelter in your town and explain to all those men and women why you have failed to serve them.
High Wycombe, once a centre of excellence for the manufacturer of furniture, now doesn't have one decent timber merchant and of the remaining furniture manufacturers, one is engaged in making oversize pieces for the clinically obese whose plight is the result of the imposition and tolerance of toxic diets actively promoted, even in that olympic ritual.
This is not about party politics either is it. The entire fiasco of lets blame the other party, has always been a distraction to draw the eyes away from the real movers and shakers that sit behind the protection of the Crown (city of london) and feed from the populace.
Its not your fault though is it. Faced with such a behemoth of a system, where corruption in al its ugliness and the use of sociopaths and psychopaths is guaranteed to break down and destroy anything of virtue.
The people know more about the insidious and criminal nature of the system of administration than many within office appreciate. None agree with you that 2012 has been a good year.
The traitors should be indicted and brought to justice and the courts returned to upholding the law rather than the legally legitimised plundering of good trusting people.
The poisonous nature of this program of austerity even now negates the utter fraud embedded within the banking system, a system where terrorism and drugs form the staple combined of course with the scam of fresh air conjured debts.
Most people, on a daily basis forgive each other, but the banking system and its lackey governments is now revealed for the malignant thing it is. Like Shylock, continues to demand its pound of flesh, though now it cares not over the profuse amounts of blood it spills as it excises the vitality from our people using a judicial system that has destroyed the law.
The town now rings constantly with the whistle of ambulance or police sirens echoing through the valley as the injured or oppressed are drawn into the end of life pathways that profit those pharmacuetical experimentors and the sickness service.
The hospital no longer capable of dealing with a local emergency, I am told because the cost of bureaucratic procedures makes it too expensive.
Children are having their minds filled with lies and nlp designed to destroy and dumb them down and groom them into the trans-human perversions that we are expected to pay for.
Our laws, those that are naturally embedded into us all, are being defiled as debts are conjured from a system that is both destructive and entirely out of control. People who have caused no harm are summarily judged and extorted from or rounded up into the slave system.
Those of us bearing solutions meet with a wall of regulated bureaucracy that stifle common sense solutions and feed profoundly ignorant official enforcers that destroy real enterprise, real food and right livelihood.
Another accolade of your success are the food banks now blossoming that dispense the toxic substances into desperate groups. Look at the people you serve Stephen, look at there grey and weary disposition and know that this system has failed them in all respects.
Where ever I go these days, the people have had enough and those in public service should expect to be indicted for the crimes they have committed. And we should begin at the top, with Kenneth Clarke, a traitor and a male with equally peculiar tendencies as those found to be ensconsed within the BBC.
When a people have been made defenceless against tyranny, they will evolve new means to bring down their oppressors. Cameron, Clegg, Osbourne, all self serving sociopaths who through their actions have demonstrated a level of contempt for the people they are supposed to serve.
If this year brings anything, let it bring a return to real equitable law and end this deadly globalist regime.

"The traitors should be indicted and brought to justice and the courts returned to upholding the law rather than the legally legitimised plundering of good trusting people."
.
I'm afraid the time has passed ( or perhaps never was a time) where traitors , political and financial cheats , liars , and self-servers are brought to book or even admonished.
.
We are now dictated to by remote and out-of-touch self-interest organizations that have no regard what so ever in 'good trusting people' .
All these scoundrels and money
gangsters treat 'good trusting people' with utter contempt and disregard as they have been rendered almost powerless by under-handed secret political deals.
.
A revolution is coming but will need evolutionary beginnings as most people don't want a bloody revolution has happened elsewhere ..
.
But even that has happened quite a few times in the past in the UK once the tipping point has been reached and the common people cannot take any more oppressive measures , lies, two-faced deception and traitorous double-dealing.
.
The common folk did not create these crises - the fault lies with the politicians and the arrogant wielders of power.

Whether it made any sense is an entirely different matter, though.

2012 wasn't a great year (to put it mildly) although the Olympics were very good it was a side show to temporary take our eyes away from the real truth that our Country has gone to the dogs and seems to be staying that way for the foreseeable future (including Wycombe).
I'm personally fed up with the current 'wait and see what happens' policy of this Government, also with the mockery of our so called democratic political system. We are still very much ruled if not by the Queen but by the system and political elite and the machine that they use to control us. The people should have the power as it’s with OUR money that we are taxed. Keep the Queen of course but let us take the power away from the System.
Steve Baker - you talk but you do not action, I for one will not be voting for you in the next General Election.

This nation, as many others throughout the sphere, is effectively under attack from within. It matters not what colour of politics is displayed on the theatrical stage, for beneath and behind this resides are far more malevolent force. An order if you like, ancient and cold blooded that has burdened us all for more than a millennia.
The monetary system was hijacked several hundred years ago and was designed to bring about what you see today. Through the lawmakers who even now presume themselves to be above the natural laws that you and your kindred live by everyday, they have plundered and stolen from us all, fomented wars and civil unrest, all to serve the hegemony they have yearned for.
We have all been deeply immersed into an ideology where it is acceptable to predate upon one another, but always provided we give the prime slice of the proceeds to this unwelcome and uninvited older male relative.
This has been achieved entirely through a deception that is more profound and amazing than can easily be set down in a few words. Fundamentally and in simple terms we have trusted something that we were unaware we had any choice over.
But now, due to the legally legitamised criminal activity of our so called public servants and the judiciary (read lawmakers), I suspect that there are enough of you (good people) that are ready to hear that although things will only continue sliding inexorably down the vortex, if you let it, there is an answer available to you all.
I am what you might describe as an unconventional fellow, a stubborn individual that five years ago, could see this excrement ridden storm rising and who then set about ceasing all legal or contractual obligations towards this syndicated attempt at tyrannical hegemony.
It has caused considerable harm to be inflicted, but with that, a tremendous amount of knowledge has been exposed. I am not a violent revolutionary, more of an evolutionary visionary if you like, Some one that sees the problem as the solution.
I know that there are a good number of people within our local authority too, that have had enough of watching these pigs feeding on the trough and want to do something.
The challenge for many of you though, will be to let go of everything you have learned, to give yourselves permission to put down all preconceptions of the existing system and society and learn about something that was forgotten a long time ago, but whose time has come.
We will be arranging some talks locally over the coming month along with discussion groups and all are welcome, regardless of your status, religious persuasion or political belief.
It is my sincere belief that if we fail to act now, then each and every one of us will be culpable for the death and misery of many of our people as this genocidal global agenda intends.

Will you be working towards the full re-instatement of proper A&E services to Wycombe Hospital ? This is what the local population want (remember you represent us in parliament and we pay your salary). If not, then I shall not be voting for you (well actually your colleague Dominic Grieve) in the next election.

Our hard-won democracy is dying but is still precariously clinging to life in patches - but not in Bucks.

The open air swimming pool was re opened after residents voted against the Tory closure plans and the Booker stadium was scrapped after residents also voted against the Tory plans so there is a glimmer of hope!
