Labour

These are the times we are living in. Despite the fact that Labour were obviously ruinously useless the electorate still voted for them in larger numbers than their direct families. This is bizarre, as it suggests that people are either monumentally stupid or pay no attention at all before putting an X in the box they always have. (Accepting of course a large section is a bought vote by Labour).

Now, perhaps because the sense of the people is so stunted, Labour feel safe in continuing with corruption as their core ideology. Blair introduced this stunning concept when he realised there is no effective control over politicians and that the electorate were vulnerable to being lied to. By allowing a system to exist whereby a candidate of the Unions choosing can be elected leader of the Labour Party, Labour accept something that would seem outrageous to anyone else. Ed Miliband perhaps proves he is in the Unions pocket by declaring, immediately that he isn't. He believes that power is vital and politics an important and difficult job. Experience in anything other than in-fighting and lying (naturally) is unnecessary. These venal and easily corrupted half-wits are being manipulated by very sinister people, who want a Marxist government, that they run. A Socialist Utopia that redistributes some of the workers wealth whilst maintaining themselves as a rich elite, far removed from the laws they enforce on others. Hence we have 'journalists' like Polly Toynbee, rich, multi-housed and working for a Socialist paper that pays no tax in the UK, insisting that we should have more state control and higher taxes. Though, ha, it mustn't impinge on her lifestyle! As I always say, she is rich enough to be a Socialist. (The other committed Socialist of course, is the person who has no intention of contributing, but quite likes the idea of free money from someone else's efforts). In fact, you can view Socialism as Capitalism without the sharing, without the option to better yourself.

In Ed Miliband the Unions have found their dolt. Blair of course was so self-centred and focused on personal wealth and power that the Unions would never get a look in. Ed however is a pushover. Tell him it is for a better, Socialist society and he will do what he is told. When your ideology is based on corruption, in whatever form that takes, Blair's or the Unions it means suffering for their dupes. And that means us.

The BBC and Reality

Gordon Bennett, are there no adults at the BBC? The election itself was hardly slick or decisive but the BBC are being wilful in their disregard for reality. I have just seen a report in which they decided that people didn't vote Lib Dem to support a particular party, no they voted against the Tories. Hence they are now angry that their party (or should that be the one they voted for which wasn't Tory) are now in partnership with Conservatives.

This is similar to the crazy logic voiced by a number of simpletons who keep saying that most people didn't vote Conservative. The problem is of course that if you run with the argument, most people didn't vote Conservative, fewer people voted Labour and fewer still Lib Dem. So the party most people voted for, is the Conservatives. How else do we decide on government?

The BBC should just be amazed at how many seats, even with the skewed boundaries and the paid voters that Labour have engineered, their beloved left leaning party achieved. Strange indeed to place any continued trust in people who have let you down on every single thing they touched, but there you have it. The BBC.

Labour Manifesto

Much as they have hated having to do it, Labour have put down on paper a manifesto to hold on to power, which is very different from a manifesto to govern. You can tell that Labour do not intend these words to last beyond May 6th, even if they win, in the way they have left so much out. Launching this fabrication, Brown talked extensively about what he speculates a Conservative government would do. Naturally for a fiscal incompetent, he is also happy to lie where need be. What he wont address, even when asked, is what he will actually do to get the finances straight (something he still says he can do in the short term, taking only 4 years to halve the deficit). Alan Johnson was asked about why he wont guarantee not to raise VAT , despite vilifying the Tories. All he could say was that the Tories were the party of raising VAT. Does that mean Labour wont? He wouldn't say, so that's a yes they will raise it.

Brown talked about the future, emphasising that looking back is a bad idea. Well, yes because if you do you realise the person telling you the country is safe in his hands, spent the last 13 wrecking it. Darling gives the impression of being the only one who recognises reality when he sees it, but has been seriously gagged. He let slip earlier that, basically it will be the private sector and its taxes that will get us out of the mire. Brown says the economy is the public sector so he mustn't stop spending on his client voters (well, not before May 6th). Remember, Brown said no increases in income tax, then raised NI, followed by the 50p rate and now he is back for more NI.

For 13 years we haven't had a government. New Labour came to power to enrich themselves and to impose central control over everything. We now have thought crimes and extensive criminalisation of people who should be seen as bulwarks of society. Difficult to avoid the (often wrong) attentions of the state these days and almost no way to correct them. It sounds dramatic, but Britain has become a nation of oppressed people.
