Woo Hoo!!!

And we are on the way out. No one should think leaving the EU is going to be painless or easy, but hey, is it not time our politicians (let alone the scheming, conniving civil servants) did some work? But then, we shouldn't have joined in the first place. Makes you wish that Heath was still alive to see how his lies and duplicity have ended.

Anyway, Cameron has walked away from the tough job (shock) and now we have to find a credible replacement. This is an excellent opportunity to improve politics in this country too, but whilst the electorate have at last resolved a national disgrace, I can't see the politicians deciding to clean their act up.

Office discussions suggest the markets reaction (looking for profits) has spooked some and points to an early reason not to have left. It is so easy to frighten the horses these days, that you wonder if the fascists of the 1930's could have succeeded today. Certainly the news is proof that we still won't let Marxist plots progress.

Also, there is a fear that the good things the EU has done will be lost. No detail as yet as to what these 'good things' are. Oh, flights will be more expensive apparently. Not sure why. Pity poor Jeremy Clarkson, the new-born socialist who won't be able to easily go to European countries any more. He will now have to present his passport to get on and off flights, er, just like he does now.

This is what you hear though, stories of little things that might appeal to an individual, whereas I voted Leave to save the country, to make things better. You know, bigger picture, Thinking of others too. Not very modern of me. But then, I am told that older people swung the Leave vote and it won't affect them as much as it will youngsters.

In days gone by we used to respect the knowledge and experience of our elders; it was called wisdom. Maybe, just maybe those who know what it can be like, have some memory of relations fighting tyranny rather than signing up for it and have just saved those youngsters future.

I don't know if Germany and France will eventually begin hostilities over who runs the EU, or if the money will run out and it will implode, but whatever happens, I think we should stand back this time and let them get on with it. Whilst forming non political trading relationships with the countries the EU is trying to destroy and others around the world. No more the parochial, France centred view.

Will Britain be better out of the EU? Ipso facto (by the fact alone).

Sybolism

Some things become symbols, a cipher for larger events and so I believe is the 'sacking' of Jeremy Clarkson. The state subsidised Left wing broadcaster, the BBC cannot contain itself that finally they feel justified in shooting the golden goose, who has the wrong political ideas.

Despite an inquiry, at the highest level in the BBC, news gets out early and the world, including Clarkson presumably learnt that he has been sacked, via the media. So, done deliberately then. This becomes more obvious when the announcement that the Live shows were cancelled was made during the 'investigation'.

The legions of incompetent half-wits, whose only true ability is to gull similarly challenged people to give them high paid jobs, who run the BBC can now update the motoring show 'Top Gear'. So expect legions of lentil eating soap dodgers to whine endlessly about how to get rid of cars. Whilst demanding a limousine to pick them up, or possibly a helicopter from their tax haven home.

This will be presented as 'cutting edge' and 'a daring new direction', with the word diversity slipped in every so often.

In the past, we all found someone who was monumentally useless at their job and whilst we would moan about them when they caused us grief, if they kept their head down that was usually it. Rare and moderately tolerated. Now, with organisations like the BBC stupidity must stand out on your CV every bit as much as statements of support for a range of pointless or better still, damaging Left wing concepts.

And you must mention diversity.

Of course the publicity hungry, political police couldn't wait either. So up they pop to see if they can arrest and charge another non-Left celebrity with something. When one of their own politicians was filmed punching a member of the public, they spent a month reviewing the evidence to see if a crime had been committed and then decided, probably not.

Enormous resources devoted to chasing sex pest celebrities from decades ago, who turn out to be innocent or the politically motivated pursuit of journalists, to shut them up when there is no proof of wrongdoing at all. (Well apart from the police hacking phones in the desperate hope of finding something even mildly incriminating).

But no resources at all devoted to dealing with real crimes against huge numbers of young girls. Or actual pervert politicians.

The Lefties are the reason the BBC is as bad as it is, are the reason we had a world wide recession, are the reason you pay so much tax, why you cannot think certain things, why people die so routinely in hospitals and why your children will struggle to get a quality education. Have you not had enough of this yet?

A Telling-Off From Judith Wanga

The Telegraph has an article by someone called Judith Wanga today and I have to say I haven't read such confused, yet pontificating drivel in quite some time. And I say that despite the Left squealing loudly everyday about some affront, hurt or pretend crisis.

Judith feels that her personal opinion trumps that of millions of people, so a standard Leftie. She has to be right, because she knows how lovely she is. And she only asks you to hate people she doesn't like.

The article is about Jeremy Clarkson. Well, it is in passing because Judith is spectacularly comfortable interpreting what Clarkson meant in any utterance and invents others that he, probably only an oversight, never got around to saying.

Admitting we don't know the details yet, she prattles on about how his supporters leapt to his defence without knowing what he had done, but she knows he did a horrible thing. Although, we don't know what happened.

She says he called his dog Didier Drogba because he is racist and was 'harking back to the days of dehumanising black people and comparing them to animals'. I don't remember these days and I'm a bit older than Clarkson, but young Judith remembers them. When you are looking to take offence it is good to have done your research (or make it up).

The chance that he has the dog because he likes it and, as a Chelsea supporter named his dog after one of their stars not only doesn't occur to her, it is in fact a disallowed thought, because it suggests way too much humanism against someone she is demonising.

And that is clearly her underlying creed; when she wants to take offence everything you say is wrong. She will set the standard, she will tell you what you are allowed to think. The comment that Clakson supporters think 'PC gone mad' is what Clarkson is against, she makes the usual lazy Leftie assertion.

Naturally something as mad a political correctness doesn't need any additions to do its harm. Designed solely to allow lightweights such as Judith to shut down debate (you can't say that) and accuse anyone they target with a range of -isms invented possibly on the spot, tailored to suit. Even the phrase 'people like Clarkson' admits to stereotypes which is something Judith complains bitterly about.

National stereotypes always seem to have some real world relevance, but that can't be allowed in Marxist fantasy land, where everything must be seen through their political prism.

I don't know what happened in the 'fracas' and I don't know how one of Clarkson's employers, the BBC should react to an incident that didn't happen on their premises or while he was 'at work'. But the Left of course don't do truth, justice or fairness when they have a target in their sights. Judith proves it with an article of personal (affected) affront, full of arrant nonsense. There must be real and talented writers and commentators out there surely, Telegraph?

Sack Danny Cohen

The Jeremy Clarkson fuss has thrown into the spotlight just how the BBC operates, perhaps more clearly than ever before. It is time for change.

The Marxist agenda running through (and ruining) society has had too much sway for too long and the BBC has been the main propaganda source of the Left. It pushes the global warming scam, it undermines capitalism, freedom of speech, proper education for children and much else besides. Indeed, it helps the Political Correctness mantra of 'you can't say that' by direct measures and interventions.

So the licence fee paying public should at last stand up and be counted, other than by the BBC and its mysterious detector vans! However the BBC is allowed to continue we need to be demanding that standards are set and met by the Corporation and a proper accountability put in place.

No longer should endless Left wing politics be the sole reasoning, repeats and mindless drivel (thinkin' of you Frankie Boyle, oh yeah, you know it) its entire output. The culture of bullying embedded in the way it operates should be dismantled too and all of these things can only happen if we break up the cosy cartel of jobs for the 'correct'.

A good place to start would be the arrogant, without substance, Danny Cohen. If you work at a place like the BBC (a renewable energy company, a council, school, NGO) you are not allowed to have any views contrary to Left wing edicts. You must speak well of any amount of patent stupidity or risk losing your job. All around you are automatons spouting mindless politicospeak, who shriek like frightened mice if you disagree.

Disagreement is not debate to them, there is no prospect that they may have missed something, might learn something; you are just wrong. And as with Jeremy Clarkson, Danny Cohen would have you sent for 're-education' in proper Marxist thought processes (that he calls re-hab!)

There are too many overpaid dumplings taking up space in the BBC. It has long been fashionable to moan about their number and their salaries and whilst these are offensive, they are not really the point. No, despite being overpaid and too numerous by a large margin they actually and actively do harm. That is the reason to get rid of them all.

Without them the Corporation would have more money, to spend on proper programmes well made. And no-one to make sure that it all 'complied'.

If Danny Cohen is so sure about his Marxist tosh, then he should stick with it. I hear North Korea is lovely this time of year and do seem short of really solid top level managers in their TV industry.

Then Jeremy Clarkson can have his job back, but don't let him run the BBC. God, could you imagine that?!

Why Has Jeremy Clarkson Been Suspended?

Clearly biffing someone is not a debating stance that most people would accept as relevant or proportionate. Nor would it realistically be considered a fitting form of punishment for a transgression. Word is that Jezza struck someone, a producer, for not having organised a meal for the presenters, to be taken post filming.

Sounds a tad trivial to us and maybe a little 'superstar', but probably not far North of what anyone would do after a long day and when it is the norm and expected. I believe outlets for the provision of food are numerous and some open quite late. But if catering is part of the package, well, you know.

Still not right to hit someone though (for reasons of clarity, can I make clear that by 'someone' I am inferring 'anyone excepting Piers Morgan'). However, the story goes currently, that Clarkson says he didn't hit anyone.

But the BBC is right to act, yes? Actually, the question is irrelevant, the money, popularity and the money that Top Gear brings in has stopped the eager souls at the top of the BBC (nearly said 'work for'! Work? Not likely) from ditching the show years ago.

Left liberals (as they call themselves) have been screaming to delete Jeremy Clarkson for as long as he has been allowed airtime. He not only promotes cars, which are evil in their eyes, but he does so with a distinct lack of seriousness. In fact, you could go as far as suggesting a degree of tomfoolery. Worse, as part of the jocularity, he says and encourages others to say things that are not Left wing.

This ability to have an opinion runs contrary to all they have been working towards, and largely succeeded over decades. They do not want to see a counter-culture survive and thrive. Clarkson tells jokes without the target being Margaret Thatcher, he lampoons beloved public services on the supposedly important grounds that they lack use. And he suggests that things they say and do are idiotic, particularly heath and safety Nazis and speed limits for no purpose.

Clarkson has even objected, on occasion to the Left telling lies, as if that could ever matter, in the cause of the greater good.

So basically, Clarkson had to go and it seems that now he has given the pathetic wretches who run too much of everything in this country, enough to force their co-religionists to be rid of him. Good. Let's get the team on Sky where the programme could have some real life and not sully the BBC or hinder in their race to the bottom, largely on their own.

Perhaps they could call it 'Gold-Top Gear, the Cream of Motoring Shows'

You Can't Say That

Jeremy Clarkson says that public sector strikers should be taken outside and shot and the humourless, the nanny state led morons and the dictators jump up and down in outrage. A woman representative of a teachers union says on QT, that he shouldn't be allowed to say it because in Columbia union people are taken out and shot. Her point being that she is a representative of those doing the shooting in Columbia. You mustn't oppose her view and you must keep quiet. Because she says so.

A Labour MP said that if Clarkson had a heart attack, he would be picked up by an ambulance crew and treated by paramedics he wants shot. Except Labour idiot, he doesn't. Not just because it was a joke, you twerp, but because he was complaining about strikers, not people who were working, which is what they would have to be doing to pick him up.

In fact I am heartily sick of public sector unions (not necessarily the people who pay for them) who keep claiming they represent low paid people, who work hard caring for the sick and elderly etc. So who is it that are killing our old people in NHS hospitals, who cannot educate our kids? No this strike was about challenging a non Socialist government whilst pretending it is about pensions. And then about pensions the public sector workers have not paid for and are way above equivalent private sector workers' pensions.

If Cameron wasn't showing himself as a weak left wing politician, these destructive forces would be less keen to take on the government. Public borrowing is still going up, but the Conservatives are trying to get it back under control and allow the productive sector to grow us out of the mess we are in. The unions want a high tax society where people like them get to control what your money is spent on (and that they have access to it too). Look at the salaries these union bosses award themselves, then ask who you want spending your money; you or them?

Janet Street-Porter

I can't get my head around JSP. Something seems to compel me to like her, but I can't think why. She doesn't possess any particular talent and yet the girl done well in the artificial world of the media. Her performance on QT was typical.

On some levels JSP talks sense, but then you get this sort of thing; the subject was the proposal to increase the speed 'limit' on motorways to 80mph. JSP started by saying she didn't like driving on motorways and then rattled on about people already driving too fast and increasing it was madness. Her first statement kind of precluded the second part being a rational, objective and considered opinion. It was a prejudice.

That's OK though, the Left these days have become adept at saying things that amount only to their own personal opinion, as if it were an established fact. A truth that cannot be gainsaid. Her opinion was also that Top Gear was the cause of fast driving and Jeremy Clarkson in particular, irresponsible in this regard.

Top Gear of course does like speed, but has never suggested it should be applied inappropriately (they do theirs for instance, on a track). Clarkson himself is intolerant of the intolerance of the Left and thinks that people should be allowed to make more decisions for themselves. Consequently, he is a dangerous person for the Left and politicians in general and thus created as a figure of hate. It was suggested he would be bad company, though I imagine he would be great company, not least for an intelligent argument.

But anyway, JSP had a point to make and it was her view. She then berated Caroline Flint for Labour's lack of positive discrimination in favour of women. She was disappointed that companies were not forced to have a certain percentage of women on their boards. JSP didn't concern herself with ability or talent, which I suppose in her experience isn't a prerequisite. Public broadcasters low quality output being unconnected I imagine.

There has been and I'm sure there still is, much discrimination against women (though women bosses I have known have been among the best), but that doesn't make the promotion of those of the female gender regardless of ability, a sensible decision. Maybe JSP would put the 16 year old girl who tried to murder her grandfather for an inheritance, in charge of a bank. She has at least demonstrated a keen interest in financial matters and her overweening self interest must appeal to the Left.

Aside from JSP though, there was something else in QT I found amazing. A woman in the audience, on the subject of increasing the speed limit said it was just a ploy by business to get their products to market quicker, despite the increased danger. I don't know if she is a Left leaning individual or if she merely says things like these because of Left indoctrination, to which we are all subject these days.

It was a strongly voiced opinion, but as commercial traffic is time limited and speed limited with on board monitors that ensure regulation, I don't think she had any understanding of the subject she was happy to spout about. And nowadays, no-one thinks to ask a question to understand. She could just as easily have said that she feared it was just to aid business and would limits for commercial vehicles be raised too?

But no, the Left has insisted that we all assume we are each, individually much more important than anyone else, so an opinion, however ill-informed is valid. The removal of respect for others has been a key plank of the Left's undermining of our social structure.
