Justice

Boudicca died a d 61 ruled over a small tribe of Celts who challenged the colonization plans of the  Roman Empire in England.

           The insurrection she lead almost succeeded in turning back the Roman colonizers.

      Very little historical evidence survives about the queen named Boudicca, ruler of a small tribe of Celtic peoples known as the Iceni during the first century C.E.

!Waste not want not would be a useful maxim for the labour party and all those who have followed the financial nonsense preached by Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, the huge lies around the green word is so irritating and now we have the depression , the equality trade is unequal and far from global, practice what you preach you narrow minded hypocrits,consumerism leads to huge amounts of rubbish and pollution , quality of life for all not glutony for all, feminists need retail therapy, women have cupboards full of clothes made by all the poor people of India and China , outsourcing labour , what a grotesque landscape you have painted , the Nhs of great Britain highlights the waste and immoral times which Blair is responsible for, the man spoke to the pope before he went to war, and Jack Straw reckons he is a Christian, lying bastads, they and europe are a bunch of self serving assholes, everything they have touched is now in disaster, you want the answers then follow . The housing market has been the backbone of the U.k. economy, relying on inflation to cover the fact that nobody valued agriculture as the mainstay of survival , nobody wanted to include the cost of accomadation in the inflationfigures, all these financial gurus messed up big time and now 28 March 2009 these experts want to tell everybody they how to fix the mess that they have created, why 
Fat glutinous bastads in the media love to show us posh nosh on their cookery programs and then they sit in baths
full of baked beans to supposedly help the starving people around the world if they do not understand that that is
obscene then it is about time they were reeducated,this is the world and again the european communists are
telling us we are all the same , well we are not,

The state of Nebraska is almost the size of the entire UK, with a population smaller than

Manchester's. It is classic "over-fly" country, ignored by the rest of the US - which, it turns out, is a big mistake.

The rest of America may be having a miserable time. But if you want to be rich, come to Nebraska and be a farmer. There is a gold rush going on, and it is because of corn.

Theprice of cornhas tripled in the last decade. Why? Because places like India and China simply cannot get enough of the stuff.

'A really good time'

Brandon Hunnicutt, chairman of the Nebraska Corn Growers' Association, loves his new combine harvester - which is just as well because it cost three times the price of a large family house here.

Equipped with an on-board computer, an iPad, a satnav and an Android phone, this high-tech monster cuts the corn that feeds the pigs that fill the stomachs of Asia. It also makes the ethanol for American petrol.

There's been a lot of ebbs and flows, but nothing this good.Brandon Hunnicutt, corn farmer

Brandon Hunnicutt admits that he and farmers like him have never had it so good.

"The short time I've been around on this planet, the really good time was right when I was a baby," he says. "And now, 38 years later, this is another really good time.

"So there's been a lot of ebbs and flows, but nothing this good."

And Brandon is a post-modern farmer, which means he is on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. His finger is never off the racing pulse of commodity prices and land values - which keep going up in this part of America.

The price of land in the region has increased fourfold in five years. Land prices in the rural Midwest are doing the opposite to house prices in the rest of America. They continue to shoot up, even prompting whispers of a bubble.

'Phenomenal income year'

There is a ton of extra cash here, and not all of it from the grain shipped in freight trains. Astonishingly, the farming community of states like Nebraska andneighbouring Iowais still receiving billions in indirect subsidies on products like corn for ethanol, as well as direct payments to each farming family.

It is a legacy of the depression, which in this part of the country now seems like a very distant era.

We have a pehomenal income year that is beyond record.Prof Bruce Johnson, Nebraska-Lincoln University

"No question about it, we have a phenomenal income year that is beyond record," says Professor Bruce Johnson of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

On the subject of farming subsidies, Professor Johnson admits that for local farmers to continue to receive them "gets to be a questionable call".

And Brandon Hunnicutt admits that he does not need the $60,000 annual subsidy he receives in direct payments. In fact, those direct payments could be scrapped by the end of the year.

But the fact is that the American dream is being kept alive nowadays not in an industrial powerhouse or in Silicone Valley, but here in a small-town America, back on the farm where it all started.
