It is interesting, I think, in light of Jeremy Cobyn's current twists and turns to get himself into a position to wreck the economy of at least one hated capitalist country, that others of a seemingly lighter touch on the Left did so much more damage.
You will remember when Bill Clinton was the US President and Al Gore his side-kick, or Vice. Bill of course, insisted that banks gave loans to poor people to buy houses they couldn't afford. And in obeying his law he initiated the global economic crisis.
Al had his own plan to destroy Western capitalism (except he actually just used it, to make himself richer). He latched on to the Groupthink project of Global Warming and, as the accomplished snake-oil salesman he is, he spouted utter nonsense which resulted in governments pumping money in to carbon reduction projects and renewable energy.
By pure coincidence, Al was invested in these sorts of projects and has done very well out of it. He is even responsible for the extortionate amount you pay on your energy bills today. To make a few rich people richer.
So yes Jeremy, you not only look, sound and act like a bumbling amateur revolutionary, but that is actually what you are.

Jeremy Corbyn -Opportunist
Jeremy Corbyn may have annoyed even Labour voters by his unprincipled U turn on a Customs Union with the EU, but some of them still see him as mainly principled. Can we be clear about this oaf - he is not principled. He is obsessed with schoolboy politics, but no principles.
He wasn't ever a spy, you can be sure of that. I'm pretty sure agents of totalitarian regimes can spot an idiot pretty easily, so yes they could use him, but they would know he couldn't be relied on to know, or be able to find out anything really useful.
Just as it is clear his little gang of thugs (well, not his gang as he doesn't lead them) are taking this stance in the Brexit debate because it suits their aspirations and is an attempt to destabilise the Conservatives. They has given zero consideration regarding the good of the country or its people, which is common to all they do.
They are hardened Marxists, who support other totalitarian regimes and any terrorists that oppose the West. Given the chance, Corbyn and his fellow travellers would turn Britain into a single party state, with no democracy, a secret police to protect them and an economy that would see Venezuela as remarkably competent.
Would be nice if Theresa May realised this, became a Tory and worked for the benefit of the people.

Cheddar Man (Gromit)
I have just watched the childish Channel 4 compilation about the DNA-based reconstruction of a 10,000 year old skeleton found in Cheddar Gorge. From the outset, the voice-over was full of portent. We were in for some fundamental shocks, apparently.
Summary; Cheddar Man came from the Middle East, was related to several other skeletons found in Spain, Luxembourg and Hungary and had darker skin than we would have thought. Obviously, whilst traced to the Middle East, originally he will have come from Africa. And the 'relations' being across a wide range means we are more European than British.
Review; Yep, I think that we have believed a migration from the Middle East (probably from Northern India/Persia) for decades. So, not new, not a shock. And a darker skin than we currently have? Why is that a surprise? I'm guessing knowing origins, suggests it quite strongly and it is as irrelevant regarding him as anyone else today.
It seems that the scientists (or just the script writer?) would be shocked to see a dark-skinned person disembarking from an Air Nigeria flight from Lagos. Which accords with how poor they seemed as a crew, being unable to string proper sentences together. They may know their subject, but they obviously didn't pay much attention during their Eng Lang/Lit classes.
For me, hearing there were close DNA relationships with other people right across Europe was interesting because of the spread and why did they spread? But the programme could not get past the politics it wished to project; we are not 'British' (which is a cultural construct, not racial) but 'European' (but held back from pointing out how ridiculous this made Brexit).
Maybe, though, just maybe Cheddar Man didn't know he was 'European' either, but surely paid a fair rate of tax. Our shock at his skin colour would be because we are racist, yes?
And the added, unsupported fact that we all came out of Africa is now being questioned, but not by this programme. They completely ignored the discovery of an 'oldest ever' skeleton in Europe. Where Lucy was found is an ideal, undeveloped part of the world. The fact that the land of much of the rest of the world is unexamined doesn't mean we came form Africa.
Finding old remains there is interesting and the theory may be correct, but as ever, we don't know. Unless you are a cultural Marxist and are desperate, at every turn to state your distaste for Western civilisation.
I'm amazed that, as the programme assumed we couldn't but project modern views onto the past, they didn't also explain that there were no cars or aeroplanes when he was alive.
I particularly enjoyed the guy saying that people migrated to what is now Britain seeking 'living space' (lebensraum), which seemed odd as the entire population was around 12,000. Just seemed an strange thing to say, yet alone the words used!
Could have been an interesting programme, but Channel 4 did it, so it was politically oriented tosh.

Speeding
I see the current fascist leader of the police traffic section thinks that the rate of illegal fining of motorists is not high enough and wants fines imposed as soon as possible, from 1mph of a 'limit'. I wonder if he wears his uniform at home and admires himself in the mirror, wondering how a gun would look with it.
Or if he dreams of strutting out to order his neighbours to do his bidding? He must do really, it fits his undoubted profile. The police like to say 'it's 30 for a reason' and I would ask this Grade A imbecile what exactly that reason is. Oh, he will launch into platitudes about knocking people down at 30 or 40 and maybe reel off facts and figures he had made up specially, but in the end he won't know.
He can't, because a speed was picked arbitrarily, for no other reason than it sounded about right. Now I dislike dangerous speeding as much as the next person, but drifting over a limit is neither here nor there. I will slow down and watch carefully if I see a group of kids playing near the roadside (the police feel such behaviour is beyond drivers), though I could of course maintain 30mph.
I started by saying he wants more revenue and that can be the sole motivator (well, that and the sense of control engendered by cowing the entire population with draconian regulations), as safety is entirely absent. It is well known, even within the state bureaucracy that Safety Cameras actually cause accidents, that such fine control of driving manners, leads to too much observing of speed and less of the road ahead.
In fact, pretty much everything we are told about speed is a pack of lies. Speed Awareness courses are just Marxist re-education programmes to cow a population into a mindset of state control. Pathetic.
The variable speed, smart motorways (that seem designed to kill people) create congestion when they reduce a limit and the congestion clears when the limit is removed. The limit alteration is to cause problems and bring you to realise, who is in control. The freedom enjoyed by the motorist must be curtailed!

Unashamed Children
The silly little girl who led her entourage of similarly immature twerps in protesting about Winston Churchill in a café, leaves you gasping really. Where to start? When I was their age I kinda knew that I was inexperienced at pretty much everything and kept quiet. Now however, students as they like to call themselves have no sense of shame about anything, a huge amount of self-importance and stunted ill-informed political views.
The Left of course, never progress beyond playground politics by definition. Marxist ideology is all immature. Then there is the target, a café. Really? The overthrow of capitalist economic theory starts here comrades. That alone marks her out as a complete fool.
Or the supposed target Churchill, who whilst pursuing his hobby of leading the nation against Nazi aggression, was more committed to oppressing blacks. Are we fortunate that she, uniquely has discovered this?
Of course, it is more likely, as a Marxist that she is more concerned to make the enemy of totalitarianism her enemy. Because the Left is where evil dwells (her, Corbyn, Hitler, Stalin) which means the Right is where people who don't wish to oppress others sit.
The big problem creeping up on us is of course, the likes of Momentum. This organisation and countless others in a similar vein are becoming bolder, more public. They are the proto Brownshirts and they need to be confronted and dealt with before they seize any more power. The slide into totalitarianism can be unnoticed too often as it hides under some uniting principle.
For the Nazis it was a national mood for a greater Germany, here it is a nation falling for the 'equality etc' cooings of people who would do you harm. Having spent decades ensuring the young are as uneducated as possible, through Marxist ideology in schools and colleges, we have a population that overwhelmingly doesn't notice stuff.
Global Warming is an anti-capitalist scam. Why has the public not noticed there is never any open debate about it? Just lists of instructions and increased taxes. The EU is an anti-democratic scam to create the Franco-German empire they repeatedly failed to achieve through violence. Again, no-one notices the lack of debate.
It has been inserted into our thought processes that State control is good, always. So whenever something goes wrong the person in the street interviewed for TV says 'the government should do something'.
The whole country needs to grow up and take more responsibility (which means taking it from Corbyn and his thugs), not just the silly girl in the café.

Good God, Really? Brexit!
I'm pretty sure that everyone outside the Westminster bubble are mightily fed up with all the Brexit shenanigans. Seriously guys, as our American friends would say, get with the programme!
Basically, if you go right to the root of it, the problem is the modern misconception that has grown amongst the lightweights now in office as MP's and civil servants. That misconception is that they run the country, which of course they don't. There is some room to suggest that the dictatorship that is the European Union may have misled them, but whatever, it isn't quite true yet.
No, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is managed on behalf of the people by our MP's, who seek assistance in the implementation of accepted policies by an employed bureaucracy - the civil servants. MP's do not entertain themselves with their own personal opinions at our expense and civil servants have no role whatsoever in 'decision making'.
You can see immediately that in Britain today the belief amongst these people of little imagination, is that they are very much in charge. The swing away from Theresa May at the last General Election occurred as she lunged to the Left and put back on the shelf all the sensible, Conservative ideas she espoused at the outset. The people were indicating they wanted a strong nation in a strong recovery, not some sixth-form politics inspired Marxist Utopia.
The idea that the people own the law is very strange to the governments of the Continent and of course, abhorrent to those trying to establish an anti-democratic Empire.
So, to make it abundantly clear; the people of the UK voted to request and require of their government that the nation should leave the EU (be rescued, in fact). A meaningful vote had been held in parliament that whatever the people decided would be held to by all parties.
Which begs the question, why are we being daily assaulted by news of the latest petulant outburst from MP's who feel their personal opinion has any bearing? Why does the Marxist Party (Corbyn's so called Labour) keep putting obstacles in the way? They agreed to follow the will of the people by referendum (I get that, being simple-minded they can't remember the last piece of nonsense they uttered), so why all the opposition?
It really is stunningly simple, by whatever mechanism exists (Article 50, written by a Brit!) we are to leave the EU. It is then beholden on the EU to suggest what would be the relationship afterwards. Not least because they need us more than we need them, although a big point of annoyance to the outfit is the loss of our subscriptions. Hence the singular fixation in the EU with obtaining cash from us.
As far as I can see, those currently interfering with the smooth progress of an agreed and mandated action required of parliament places them in contempt. No MP impeding the will of the people has the right to draw funds from the taxpayers and so must be dismissed with. Call it an incentive or just encouragement.
But otherwise, just get on with it, we have been chained to a corpse for too long.

The Value Of Persistence
The persistence of the Left leaning journalists has paid off. They kept talking about the threats to Theresa May's premiership and literally nobody cared. They just lived in their own fevered bubble. Now though, their constant refrain has driven one self-absorbed MP to declare he would like to challenge, buoyed by believing Leftie journo's.
Of course there is dispute about the way things are going and ultimately it always comes back to the leader. Personally, I have no specific problem with Theresa May as a person, but where the hell are her 'ideas' coming from? Someone of influence has convinced her that adopting Labour policies is the only way to go. It clearly isn't working, but they are sticking with it.
May called a snap election because she thought the omens were there to get a real working majority to get things done. And I believe the country was ready to vote in precisely that way. OK so a lot of not very clever people, who had also recently been to university, fell for a ruse by the Marxist Corbyn, but the idea was still sound.
What actually caused the upset was the nonsense that May came out with as Conservative policies. Once they were aired, the vote deserted her party en bloc. And we have seen it since; every time it looks like the Conservatives say something robustly Tory the popularity of the party soars, then May announces a Labour-lite version and the shoulders slump.
Like a sufferer of domestic abuse, May goes to the EU, with sound and sensible ideas and gets abused. She gets angry (we've seen flashes of it), then forgives them and goes back for more. We are breaking up with them, so a temporary tantrum won't harm. Either they talk sense or we walk away. So we argue over the LP's (and they're all scratched), but we will get over it; banging your head on the wall might be habit forming, but it is going to be great when you stop!
The EU is an anti-democratic construct, held together by lies, a construct that the UK cannot ever have joined legally. But none of that matters apparently to the Remainers, who cling to nurse for fear of something worse, like the most timorous of children. May needs to lead the grown ups, and parenting (which she has been cruelly denied) is like leadership, you have to set boundaries, make your position on an issue crystal clear. Tell it like it is.
If you do, you will be unpopular with all the people that don't matter and achieve results of real and lasting importance to the whole nation.
Or maybe you and your simpleton advisors are right Theresa, the Conservatives have to become the Socialists while Labour have become the Communists.
