The Real World

We often talk of politicians needing to live in the 'real world' and it is true. But we also are excluded from a real world, this time deliberately. Politicians operate a cosy club that they don't really hide, but they certainly don't talk about. That world is the one that see's them taking up sinecures related to their political work, moving on from MP to 'renewables consultant' after being involved in the energy brief in government.

It sees them hiding their corruption (thankfully usually fairly petty in this country to date), shielding their friends and as we have seen lately, with advisor Rock, delaying our access to information involving serious crimes within the government machine.

Today, the United Kingdom is in the hands of a cabal of hopeless types. With the EU calling the shots, our politicians mess about with trivia, play their silly political point scoring games, but mostly spend their time either a) seeking to improve their grand image, if a senior politician or b) increase their income, if of the lower order.

Consider; if you thought that a local community elected someone to represent them in parliament and that group of MP's then met to decide on the bigger issues facing the nation as a whole, decided how to plan and run the infrastructure for all and debated and sought best advice at all times, then you would be imagining the system devised for this United Kingdom.

However, having strayed away from the manacles of service into the more exciting command and control areas, politicians have corrupted the process in every way. Your MP may get some local votes and win his way into parliament but he will not represent you in any way. He will cleave to his party and follow its instructions, his career depends on it.

Parliament, having handed sovereignty to a foreign power, will seek to enforce the instructions from above as all good bureaucrats do, in an unthinking and uncaring manner. Listening to vested interests is both easier and more rewarding than any other mechanism and one size fits all solutions require less time and thought.

As the poster boy for just how stupid the people pulling the strings think you are, take Global Warming. There is no scientific justification for thinking any warming is man made. There just isn't a link. There is plenty of evidence for both other mechanism in play and that Man's 'greenhouse' gases are insufficient to cause any identifiable change. Then there is observation.

Despite the infallible computer models predicting ever increasing temperatures as CO2 concentration increases, this just hasn't and isn't happening. Do the politicians and all those activists who form a global consensus know all this? Yes they do. Their agenda is not connected to climate but social change, they are just playing with you. Coming up with the most ridiculous things for you to believe and seeing if you actually do.

Quite how people like George Monbiot don't literally explode with hysterical laughter I do not know. Although, when you read his output, it is entirely possible that he does believe in AGW and as such is even more stupid than the people others are laughing at.

Getting our country back is relatively easy it terms of the changes required, but very difficult because those entrenched in the pay boat of the public purse will not let go. Like a child with a packet of sweets. All we need to do is leave the EU and require MP's to represent their constituents, debating freely in parliament.

A good start would be this kind of rule. If you don't turn up for three debates, without a reason such as ill health, then you are immediately stripped of your status and there must be a constituency election. And also, abstaining should be banned. Being excused due to vested interest is different. MP's acting corruptly should not as now be treated with special, kid gloves, but receive immediate and much harsher sentences than the general public. Why should we expect higher standards? Because what they do is important and pivotal and they put themselves forward.

Prostrate England

It strikes me that a great many things are coming together just now. It is almost as if a whole nation is waking from a long sleep. A sleep during which much evil has been done. That our nation has been much reduced, not by loss of empire, or markets or influence, but by indolence. As we know, for evil to flourish, all that is required is for a good man to do nothing.

We have heard much of the lack of interest in politics of the general public, that there is voter apathy. This is true and it is due to people thinking that things are good enough, life is OK that nothing needs to concern them in the world of politics. But politics is a world of plots and if you are not watching then the worst plots can succeed.

In the seventies people still had something of an education and a sense of personal responsibility. So, having given Labour a chance, as we do from time to time, the country had descended into chaos and financial ruin. It focusses the mind and fed up voters elected Margaret Thatcher, who turned things around and provided that success and stability that let voters doze off.

(Obviously I am talking about the democratic process here, not the communist subversion constantly at work in the background. No-one votes for communists and they have no interest in democracy).

Enter The Chancer. When voter apathy has long set in, a number of possible candidates spring forward to seize power whilst the Watch sleeps, but the key political parties still have an upper hand. Labour were in a wilderness of their own creation and were desperate to find a way back to power. This gave The Chancer his opportunity. That he wasn't a Labour man by conviction is a pointless remark to make as a) traditional Labour policies would get him nowhere and b) The Chancer is not a man of conviction.

Thus, the Labour Party became something completely different; it became a chameleon. Whatever the voter wanted to hear was, coincidently exactly what New Labour were offering. And it wasn't just that Tony Blair, for it was he who was The Chancer, had no intention of fulfilling these promises, he had no interest in politics or implementing policies whatsoever. This can be seen from the enormous number of ridiculous statements he made about new initiatives that never happened.

Blair of course wanted the trappings of power to feed his ego and the opportunities it creates to accrue wealth. He liked ordering people about and being obeyed, he didn't like spending time thinking about things. This lazy, useless group of grasping empty headed vagabonds spent their days selling snake oil, while a now denuded Conservative Party looked for someone to lead them who had the same qualities.

And so came about the final corruption of British politics, under the most venal of men. If ever a soul had been sold to the Devil it was here, then.

All this time of course, unchecked the communists were beavering away in the institutions, undermining the basic fabric of society, whilst rather handily a cabal of cretins, for whom the epithet 'if brains were made of elastic they wouldn't be able to keep their knickers up' was never more apt, was destroying the fabric of democracy.

Now though, as recession brings politics back into focus and people, rather rudely show annoyance at what was done while they decided to pay no attention, many of things are coming to light.

We have fairly regular shootings by the police of people who are either entirely innocent, or where there was no need to shoot, outrage at last, that hospitals are carelessly killing thousands of people, the open discovery of the thieving and corruption of politicians, the extent of paedophile activity within institutions. We see the courts and the police routinely ignoring serious crime and letting off offenders, whilst taking draconian and vindictive measures against the innocent or minor offenders.

Why has all of this, that has been going on for so long, suddenly been brought to light all at once? I think it is because we no longer will allow the 'Establishment' to get away with their cover-ups and lies. Today there must be a reckoning. And not before time. The scale though is shocking. Everywhere a stone is turned we find evil. It seems we may now not let it go. It seems that the communists and their desire to ensure children are as badly educated as possible will not continue.

That the attempts to divide the nation along racial lines will no longer be accepted, as multiculturalism is seen for what it is. The welfare trap to create a class of proles; all of it is coming into bright sunlight. But where do we turn? UKIP may be a funny bunch, but they terrify all the other politicians because they not only have policies that chime with the wants and desires of the population but also that they signal the end of many of the gravy trains on which our current crop ride.

Imagine there is no EU, it's easy if you try. No Global Warming too, above us only sky. All of it, all of it is lies. Lies have little lies upon their backs that bite 'em. And little lies have lesser lies and so on ad infinitum.

The tide is turning.

Cameron And The Long Run

Pummelled recently Cameron has hit back by saying that he is in it for the long run, not just for short term gain. Well, a major problem in politics since Blair took power is that the short term aims of a political party have become the only aim of all politics. The country can go to hell in a hand cart if it conflicts with getting re-elected.

The problem with what Cameron is saying in his own defence is that we have absolutely no evidence to support it. Certainly there is a welter of evidence that he is only interested in himself, to the extent that he agrees to stupid ideas from the Lib Dems, because it keeps his power train rolling along.

Nope, he is as short termist as Blair. He would love to install one long term system though (and this he shares, again, with Blair) and that is that his party stays in power for ever.
