Ed Miliband - Not Quite Real

I nearly forgot again, it keeps happening to me. It is Ed Miliband who leads Labour isn't it? I have to check, you know. Anyway I heard the other day that he says you shouldn't blame teachers for a lack of sporting achievement in schools. Putting ideology before facts or common sense, let alone principle, Ed supports teaching Unions quite blindly.

If they are not to blame, despite the extensive reach of the 'non-competitive sports' beloved of the Left and promulgated throughout the teaching profession by the assiduous work of the teacher training colleges and Universities, the refusal to 'work' outside school hours -meaning sports clubs, then they also cannot be praised when the success is there.

That can't be right. If through dedication, hard work and belief in the kids they teach, our PE teachers turn out stars they deserve the highest praise. If they think the children should be held back to meet some socialist target, then they need to consider their choice of career. They are like some 'anti-Samaritans', encouraging people to suicide, such is their care-less negativity.

Mo Farah is living proof that hard work and effort is rewarded in this country and he said as much. No wonder Ed (it is Ed isn't it?) and his ilk have kept pretty quiet during the exceedingly popular, competitive Olympic Games. We have seen the wonderful British attitude shine through of applauding the people who came last or befell some misfortune; we are a fair people without being told to be so.

We scream and shout about the winners though, for their effort is the greatest and attracts the greatest reward. Those who cannot run faster than Usain Bolt recognise his talent and feel no shame. Instead they praise him and try a bit harder. They do not leave the Games suicidal as the Left and their 'psychologists' would have it.

I don't know if Anthony Joshua was saved from a life of crime by boxing, as is so often claimed in these cases, but what I saw was a talented youngster who was not just proud of his country, but thought of others and was well spoken. He had I'm sure bettered himself through his own efforts and that included respect for others. He didn't talk in some ghetto patois to gain respect, he did it the way you actually earn respect.

Too much youth in Britain is of the Simon Cowell mode; talentless and convinced that 'celebrity' and wealth can be achieved without effort. They see footballers as role models, with their extensive wealth based on a natural ability and little else. These footballers play poorly in competitions, particularly for their country, showing that they cannot effectively pass a ball, read the game or run for 90 minutes. These would seem prerequisites of the game, of their 'profession', but training is just so much effort.

No wonder they were so surprised, coming into contact with Olympic athletes. And also, thick footballers almost always stay thick. Improving themselves just means gold taps to them. A pox on all their houses.

Sport In Schools

Obviously the Olympics is causing people to think about sport in general in Britain, not least at school. The news comes out that Cameron is to remove the compulsory element from PE in schools, which cues outrage. But if the schools are also removed from other forms of state interference, e.g not under local authority control, then parents will ensure that schools provide proper sports education.

This is the important point; Cameron didn't tell schools not to do sports, he was not telling them anything. Failure would be entirely their fault, success would reflect their talent. Parents would judge. It is so long since the people of Britain have been required to think and act like adults, that the initial reaction was that Cameron was cancelling sport. We have denuded ourselves of talent at every level.

And it is all due to the left undermining every aspect of the successful, resourceful Britain that existed after WW2. The educational establishment in the Sixties was only related to 'education' by this being its target. The actual education of anyone was of no interest to them at all. The left wanted the state, under their control, to run everything and nobody should have the ability to challenge.

Typically in left dominated nations, people of intelligence and the teaching establishment is regarded with suspicion or got rid off, one way or another. So in Britain, the left worked assiduously to ensure that the education of children was oriented towards the left and of as poor quality as possible. An intelligent populace thinks for itself, spots what the 'leaders' are up to  and all to often stops them. So they tread carefully (or use force).

Think about it (no pun intended), how often do you think, or hear others say the government should 'do something'? It is a reflection of how completely we have handed even our thoughts to the left. I wonder if David Cameron even realises he isn't a Conservative, having been brought up so far into the left's project of domination.

We have freedom of speech you might say, so how can the left dominate? Well think about it. How do the left trolls react when their religion of Global Warming is challenged? Do they produce impeccable research and proof? No, they attack the person commenting. They threaten and vilify. So people, scientists don't speak out. Fear is always the weapon of the left.

You can find any number of books from the left bending the shelves in bookshops, but who do you think struggle to even find a publisher? Peter Hitchens (even though his 'A Brief History Of Crime' is an important and well observed view of Britain), James Delingpole, Melanie Phillips (whose 'All Must Have Prizes' is particularly apposite today), Christopher Booker and Richard North. And what do these people all have in common? They oppose the left and believe in freedom and liberty.
