Cameron Angry

The news is claiming that David Cameron is angry because some of his senior Conservative colleagues have publicly said they would vote to leave the EU. I hope he is angry. That would mean he is now sharing an emotion with Tory voters. Except their anger is not at a political construct that a politician quite likes, but at an idiot who has made Conservatives seem unreliable and Left wing.

Leaving the EU is a 'Right wing' idea apparently. I'm not sure when the Left first decided that supporting Britain and British citizens was a Right wing idea. By extension of course, it means that the Left are anti Britain and British law.

Cameron, accepting orders from another part of the communist 'Europe' he loves, enacted laws for homosexual marriage, ignoring the rights and views of the people of the country. He wants, for no discernible reason, to build a high speed rail line, at great cost, to benefit a relatively small number of people. The line he says, will 'open up' the Midlands and make working there easier for many people. How? To be fast the train must not stop very often, so it can only serve a few destinations.

Current railways are no different from any other large commercial concern these days. It runs entirely for the benefit of the company and often uses its contact with government to maximise its benefits. No competitive pressures or proper regulation for them, any more than for renewables scamming companies, energy suppliers, pharmaceutical and construction industries.

There is plenty for Cameron to be angry about, but so far he seems to be a supporter of all of the scams which are destroying the spending power of UK citizens, not forgetting all the tax, naturally.

What Being A Leader Means

David Cameron is the leader of the Conservative Party, even though he doesn't seem to have any alignment himself with Conservative values. But his bigger problem appears to be how his leadership is going.

Cameron came to government with a number of key issues close to his heart. He thinks it is really important that we give lots of money to foreign countries and he declared he would increase the amount sprayed overseas. He declared his love of the EU and he showed his deep seated dedication to 'green' issues by installing a small turbine on his house.

Today we hear that a minister is proposing to cut aid to a second country, because it is either unnecessary or being stolen, just like everyone except Cameron thought it would be. The EU is massively opposed in Britain (on the grounds that it has no utility, nor a single reason for existing) and is destroying itself over the Euro and trade barriers. Added to which a party exists which easily steals votes by not just calling for an independent UK, but also having other policies that make it actually the Conservative Party. But it is called UKIP.

And now we have ministers starting to point out that wind turbines are completely and utterly useless. Except that they make landowners a bit richer and foreign energy companies a lot richer. Oh and rather a lot is added to your energy bill to pay these leeches.

I think the reason that they are saying this is that the political benefits of supporting 'renewables' is drying up and they are either checking the facts themselves, or just admitting what they already knew. Of course the breakthrough will come when they also admit that 'Climate Change' alarmism is a fantasy and is driven not by science, but by lobby groups such as Greenpeace and WWF, who are merely seeking influence and money.

Being lied to by politicians is what we pretty much expect, by the Global Warming scam has been particularly pernicious and is by far the most dangerous. It is so bad it almost transcends any hint of mendacity and becomes insanity. Can we hope that reason returns within our lifetimes? Can we leave the EU and stop believing junk science at the same time?

How You Doin'?

Traditionally a map of Britain shows a Labour heartland in the North and solidly Conservative in the South. This we are told (and have come to accept), is because working folk live 'up North' and all the snooty, posh types down South. So the division is based on the people that live there.

But as ever, the Left have tried to construct the narrative along lines of their choosing. They have decided for you how you will look at something. If you are a low paid worker living in the South are you a fish out of water? Do you yearn to move Up North?

Do wealthy people (excluding footballers, they are too stupid to count) in the Northern climes always up sticks and relocate Southwards, the day some magical figure of money in the bank is hit? I think not.

Clearly, the divide is more likely that the devastation in Labour regions is because they are Labour regions. Where effort is rewarded and ambition is seen as good, wealth is created and these areas flourish because those traits are Conservative traits.

I mentioned traditional earlier and this should be seen in this context. Needless to say, the current Conservatives are no such thing. Though Labour continues to be mainly a subversive, Marxist party masquerading as something altogether more benign and 'of the people'. Though of course there was the interlude where the spivs of Tony Blair held sway, whilst trying to make themselves rich.

Fancy A Chat With David Cameron?

Wow, a chat with David Cameron costs £250,000! Even for a big company that has got to be an expensive half-chance to get some policy enacted from which it will profit. The fact that access is being charged for is no surprise whatsoever. Has Cameron ever hidden his desire to be seen as Tony Blair Mk2?

New Labour debased politics and was (is) corrupt to the core. It was beyond satire that Mandelson was on Sky News deploring this scandal surrounding the Tories. He must have been annoyed in the same way Tesco is when people shop at Sainsbury's.

Ever able to assume everyone is as thick as the average Guardian reader, the politico's start talking about ending the funding scandal by giving the parties money from the taxpayer. How delighted do you think all of them would be with that? Not only do they never have to worry about funding again, they can take as much as they like and syphon off a goodly amount too, for a little 'social activity'.

Taxpayer funding of political parties must never happen. But if there was any actual penalty for wrongdoing amongst politicians, it would become a much cleaner profession very quickly. Just looked at how shocked (not to say outraged) were those who did have to serve the odd minute or two in prison. Fancy the people who set the law, having to live by it too! Bring back Tony Blair and the times when you knew that only Tory politicians could break the law.

There is talk of natural Conservatives, moderate people who wish their country to determine its own future, to offer opportunity to all and to reduce drastically the power and reach of government, deserting for UKIP. But as the current, Cameron led 'Conservative Party' may be breaching the Trades Descriptions Act, perhaps UKIP should just call themselves The Conservatives? Cameron could call his little coterie New Conservative, or just merge with New Labour and be done.

David Cameron - An Open Letter

Dear Mr. Cameron

I know you decided to put on a Conservative tie and that you had what is often referred to as a good start in life. This, I hoped would make you a useful Prime Minister at a time of great need in the country, we have after all, just had a Labour government for 13 years -there was bound to be much that needed repairing. But those dogs of economics have run amok and left us with more than a shrivelled economy and low morale this time. Gordon Brown has wrecked the country to its core, with the added depth of Blair's immorality.

We needed clear thinking on growth and strong leadership, which are traditional Tory strengths. This you might realise is where things get difficult, as I am sure you are aware yourself, you are no traditionalist.

Mr. Cameron, politics is intended to be the servant of the people, it is designed to facilitate the best ordering of national affairs for the benefit of the people in general, one might say in Britain, for the Queen on behalf of her subjects. Somehow, politicians have come to see themselves as a kind of class apart, a natural elite who rule. A group that makes decisions because that is their job, based on political considerations alone. Whilst voters are needed, those considerations usually have a cynical angle, to gain those votes when required.

This has led to what is called the Westminster Bubble, where politicians only talk to each other and make decisions based on the outcome for that group. Debates in parliament, such as they now exist, are merely sport for winning points in some academic game, rather than the serious business of running the country. If I may at this point introduce a notion you may find shocking, the aforementioned is what the nation pays you to do. If you wish to play childish games of name calling then please confine it to your leisure hours.

It is clear you have come to believe that your election is dependent on socialist values and so you enact the inane energy policies demanded by left activists, you borrow more when we need to cut back and you shrink from the loud, but pointless shouts of the left about any 'cuts'. It is precisely because these people are believed when they shout that needs addressing, by strong leadership that achieves real results. Results these malefactors are telling the population are not achievable under Tories.

These people have demonised Margaret Thatcher and talk of her in the most disgusting terms, waiting to unleash a most unedifying orgy when she passes. Do you believe she deserves that? Of course not, it is just a position that the left are pushing; comedians routinely refer to how bad Thatcher was but couldn't tell you why. To repeat empty junk fed by political agitators on the left doesn't make it true. But much of our lives is currently blighted by just such shouting down, using political correctness as a weapon most often.

This is damaging our country, it is a major reason for much that is wrong and we must reverse it. It is in fact just an extension of getting the Tories labelled as the nasty party. Was that ever even remotely true? No, except with regard to the infighting by the wets in the party, people who today have far too much influence on you. Why do you think you didn't win a clear majority? Why do you think the Lib Dems are so hated? People want a Conservative Party to bring back prosperity and pride to the UK, not the left leaning nonsense you cleave too. Whether from advice or personal disposition your current instincts are wrong. What does your education tell you to do? Don't rely on experience, you don't have any. Try listening and I mean listening to someone outside the Westminster Bubble.

I remain, a humbled taxpayer

Our Political Parties

It is well known now that the problem with politics, the reason for the disconnect with the public (and often reality), is the party system. This quite sensible idea, to draw like minded people together to form policies they all support, has been completely corrupted and is now anti-democratic. When we bother to vote, we elect politicians who merely turn up in parliament to receive their orders from party HQ and to vote on legislation as directed, rather than as their constituents may have wished.

MP's and particularly PM's are sometimes indignant when their rule is questioned, when perhaps a referendum is suggested. It is their right, they say, to govern as they have been given a mandate to rule. The people have entrusted decision making to them for 5 years. And this might be so, if the parties didn't lie so routinely before elections and then, by the control they exercise over their MP's, effectively dictate.

So, if the parties are out of control, what do they claim to want and represent as of today? Here is how they appear to me.

The Greens. Obviously an actual irrelevance, I mention the Greens because of Caroline Lucas who is the Greens (should that be Green?) Lucas is possibly an alien who has landed on Earth and learnt our ways so as not to stick out. If so, you have to say she has made a good stab at it. To many people she looks and sounds quite normal, unless she is talking about politics. Here it is clear she comes from a world where some elite group controls every action of the lesser beings that she unfortunately has to share a planet with.

Lucas is a Stalinist of the first order, by which I mean she seeks the state to own everything and the people to work for the benefit of the state. Usefully, she excludes herself from such a scheme, as, being an elite she can share the fruits of others' labour (on QT last night her disdain for the Queen was all too evident, a drain on the public purse, which presumably she doesn't think she is, an inversion of reality). This attitude is the bedrock of most current 'socialist' thought, from left wing politicians to the supposedly scientific environmental groups and race/gender communities. The state will tax you to organise how the 'nation's' wealth (definitely not yours, despite you creating it, working for it) and spend it as they see fit, being benign, intensely clever and caring people.

Seizing absolute control like this, not only perpetuates their power and keeps the people in check, but also gives a reason for the state (and an enormously bloated one at that) to exist. The only 'sustainable' form of government! As Lucas proved again on QT last night she has absolutely no idea what goes on around her and still thinks we are all in thrall to her global warming scam ('the greatest threat we currently face'). She frames her output absolutely around this adolescent ideology and tries to fit reality into it. Not having a strong imagination, she fails quite spectacularly.

But this Stalinist view of ideal politics, as I said earlier, defines much of our politics and background political agitation. Hence the Labour Party are in such turmoil. Having been seduced to let a conman lead their party, just because he could get them into power, they have been seen as a very right wing party, pursuing personal wealth through the worst corruption a capitalist system can provide, where the legislators are corrupt. This pleased many like Mandelson who only like politics for the games they can play, for the power itself and the wealth it attracts. This disgusted many of the Old Labour persuasion.

Old Labour yearned for power so they could push their agenda of division and hatred through complete state control. These are the people, not just politicians, who turn up and say that capitalism is evil and causes most of the misery in the the world and can be ended by adopting regimes like those of Soviet Russia and North Korea. Despite the abject failure of these societies, the ideological Labour party cannot see or accept that they would bring such destruction and death to the UK. Though many of them do know and don't care.

Currently Labour have Ed Miliband as their figurehead, a man who was supposed to be a puppet of the Unions. Instead, he has turned out to be his own man, with no clear ideas on anything and consequently not much liked by anyone.

The Lib Dems are now a joke, a comedy party. For all my life they were always spoken of as spouting fine sounding claptrap on the sound reasoning that they would never get into power and so be tested on it. Then, oops a daisy, they found themselves in a position to share power with the Conservatives and all of a sudden they were ditching keenly held beliefs and policies like a wet dog shaking. Naturally, their long term supporters now hate them and everyone else, who previously thought them a joke, realise they are actually dangerous Stalinists.

Look at Chris Huhne. With an IQ determined by his collar size, he preens and pouts and connives, being the unreliable toad he appears on first viewing. Nick Clegg of course has clearly completed the clown training and recognising a big top when he sees one is giving us the full routine. Yes, we know that state control would be much better in your view Nick, but when do you order the extra guns for the police? When people start to realise what you are up to or earlier than that? Sometimes people just don't appreciate what you are trying to do for them, do they?

Lastly, the Conservatives. Tony Blair may have called his boastful book 'A Journey' (though maybe, 'so long and thanks for all the fish' is closer to the mark), but it is actually David Cameron who is on a journey. Having decided he quite liked the idea of socialism, but the people he generally came into contact with talked about the Conservatives, he kind of joined that gang, by accident. As PM he thought he could cure the raging predatory capitalism that New Labour had promoted to the exclusion of all else, with some cuddly Conservatism that would make everyone feel better.

But, little by little, as reality slaps him in the face like an unexpected icy wind on opening the front door, he is having to adopt genuinely Conservative thinking. Soon, he may even realise that the EU has been an enormous con and was merely an attempt to build a sovietised economy run by unelected elites for their own benefit. Which isn't really what Conservatives believe in. Over all, a Conservative is what generally considerate people would be, left to their own devices. It is really the party of small business, which is also the main driver of a (free) society. Cameron is not there yet, but he is showing some good signs, though I'm not as convinced as Fraser Nelson is, in today's Telegraph.

When Cameron starts actually shrinking the size of government and addresses the other left over issues from Blair and Brown, such as entrenched inequalities and moribund social mobility, by which much socialist strategy survives, then we will know Britain is on the way back to recovery. Don't hold your breath.

The Election

So tomorrow we finally get to say. If 1997 was anything to go by it should be a landslide for the Conservatives. But two important things have changed over the last 13 years. Firstly there has been widespread disenchantment with party style politics and there is a groundswell of opinion that pushes people to consider other parties, or Independents. Secondly, almost the exact opposite of a healthy review of our democracy that the previous point represents has been taking place. The Left have demonised the Conservative party, ensuring a knee-jerk reaction from ordinary people; well Labour have got to go obviously, but I couldn't vote Conservative. Why not? Well, they are all toffs aren't they.

My understanding is that a 'toff' is generally seen as someone who has inherited wealth, doesn't have to work and is stupid -in other words Harry Enfield's Tim-Nice-But-Dim. This has been a triumph of Left wing indoctrination in deploying class hatred to replace racism (which is the preserve of little white old ladies according to Brown). Do these toffs exist? Undoubtedly there will be a few dozen, stumbling about Britain, vacuous air-heads with nothing to contribute. But their real manifestation these days is not from the Upper Class Twit mould, but rather the Islington set. Yes, if you want to find people who do no good in society but want to influence it for their own benefit then the Left liberal is where you should look. And there are very many of them, filling Quango's, staffing hopeless 'charities' insisting black is white and living on a diet of soundbites. They are the prolific wasters who occupy themselves as courtiers of some extravagant palace, that you pay for and are personified by the ridiculous Lord Mandelson.

So should you listen to the Left liberal? The same people who took their propaganda into education which has resulted in education not be high on the list of priorities in schools. Who provided the police mindset to pursue easy targets and give up on crime, judges who feel their role is to worry endlessly about the welfare of criminals.

Can you vote Conservative? Yes,if you want your country back.
