One vote one adult

 It makes me wonder whether the notion of one person and one vote is representative of democracy. For as each year of my life passes, I think there are some individuals who should not get the right to vote. Especially those who fall down into the depths of a rabbit hole. Not too dissimilar to something Lewis Carol wrote about. The persons who have their own facts, which are not actually facts at all but are lies dressed up in easy to understand language. The easy to understand bit is because they don't use the wonderful faculty between their ears. It is like they go out of their way to make bad decisions. Some of those individuals are even those who are close to me and this causes great emotional and psychological pain. It is not possible to say otherwise. They have simply been brain washed. Social media has infected their mind with falsehoods. It is like some malign force is out there. Who can it be? The Russians, the Chinese the crazy right wing lunatic Americans. Perhaps all of them.

One vote one person. I follow British politics with enthusiasm. I hate what Britain has become after 14 years of Tory malpractice, 14 years of corruption, 14 years of racing to the bottom or the world. As a country we can no longer be considered part of the developed world. There is no housing and those who want social housing are on waiting lists up to 17 years or more. Housing is one of the most important items every single person must have, a home, a place of their own. After 14 years of Tories we have the highest utility bills we've ever had before. The disaster of privatised water now mean our seas and waterways (except Wales, Ireland and Scotland) are filled with sewage. Yet even Tories and Tory voters must know this, they must understand this is the consequence of their voting. They must understand if they need to see a doctor or go to the Hospital the lack of service is because they voted Tory and the Tories have only their immediate financial self-service as a priority.

England is dying. England is depressed. England has become the sick old man of Europe and it is because Cameron was too weak a man to face down the right wing lunatics in his own party and withdraw the whip from them. The right win is now fractured as we have Farage the racist in sight. Farage the man who as a growing child enjoyed singing racist Nazi tunes. The man who has two passports and can leave Britain at any time but chooses to stay here as he is a multimillionaire feeding poison into the vulnerable people who lack the initiative to both to understand Politics. 

I sincerely hope there is light with a Labour government now in power. But it is almost like the inevitable bath of self-destruction continues. It feels like Britain is now Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

An election at last

It is with relief an election has been called by the weak Sunak. A man who has never suffered the strife of real work his entire life. A man who doesn't know what it is like to not have two pennies to put together in order to afford his lunch. Because he has been closeted like an entitled Indian prince. Yet even the closeted can feel compassion and empathy. This man doesn't.

It's hard to wonder what he feels. But the suffering of others is not one of them. Unless he is an individual who hides his contradictions deep at an unconscious level. For them to come out years in the future with the question of how he might have done better for Britain. Again for some reason I don't think this matters. Though, a part of me hopes there will be a Karma effect on him and his family for what he has done to us all. If Britain was his own wallet, things would have been done differently. Funny how it is we hold civil servants to a higher degree of integrity than we do our politicians. Especially in Parliament, where rules are easily broken, what did have once unspoken codes of honour and expectations. But when put into contemporary, events are broken because we were ruled by a corrupt bunch. By egotistical maniacs who thought they knew best or even if they didn't it was a matter of being in power. Being in the public and getting exposure. Just so when it's time to leave, their nest is feathered with the prospect of limitless speaker gigs. For large fees. An hour gig giving a sudden six-figure sum into their bank accounts. Or so it has been with our joke of a PM Bozo the clown.  

This is not my country, I would not die for it. Given the opportunity I was live in Europe, my home would be a welcome place to strangers. But I can't go anywhere and have to sit it out. God may the Tory sewage infested waterways of our politics change in the next six weeks.

What is our true value?

 My wife said to me I should not be bitter. It's almost like a flaw in my character, I'm careful to try and keep it at bay but it's not always easy. For I believe my value, my worth, my abilities are higher than the cards I've been dealt. Perhaps this is why I have an innate dislike for Tory governments, or for Tories. It's the same old story being recycled over and over again. A Tory politician is usually one who has been educated in a private school. The more important the school considers itself and the higher the fees it charges then the higher the value the Tory politician acquires. This is the important bit. They are given the best of life's opportunities from birth to leaving education, their expectations are that they will become wealthy, do great things and the world owes them.  Just for having them breath air the world must pay them respect. Hence it is the class system kicks in. The worth of a Tory is the worth of the stepping stones they have placed gently in front of them as they grow up. 

In the imaginary world of meritocracy, the best people for the job rise to the surface, they are smarter, they are brighter, they stand out amongst others. It can be seen in their confidence of public speaking. In the way they dress, in the language they use, their accent and the connections they have. Tories therefore represent the class system, they like to see themselves as better than other people, and then they believe they are the ones who are lifting up the poor by paying their taxes. Or as we know in today's cases not paying but rather dodging the spirit of tax paying in any way they can. From birth to leaving education they are molly coddled, given the best holidays, given the best education in which it will be one to one tutoring or it will be in small classes. It is like they are being bred into a life and life style which is close to inevitable. Money is security, it ensures they never have to worry. They always get to sleep on a bed in a warm house and have more than enough food to satiate their appetite. But what really is their worth? Being given all the opportunities or indeed opportunity hoarding doesn't mean the positions they reach is because of their value. So why might this be?

Lets compare and contrast. A working class single mother raises two children, she rents her home, she has to work and must receive Universal Credit in order to make ends meet. She loves her children very much as does every mother. But she's unable to afford them the best independent education available, so her children go to a state run school. Where the classes are of extraordinary size, 30 to 33 pupils. The class teachers can't keep track and do their best. One to one tuition is near to impossible. However it doesn't mean these children are less smart. What it does mean is they have obstacles to overcome. They may go home and find their mother is in a mood, she's had a bad day at work. Mum can't spend as much time with them as she likes but she does her best. It's difficult, very difficult. Her attention is divided as a mother and as a earner. It is not meant to be this way it just is.  The children are happy in their family and with their mum. But there is no hand up. They may spend their time doing homework but if so it's because they feel like it. But children will be children and sometimes a TV set or an electronic play console take their attention. What is their worth? It is a lot to their mother but is their potential and their ability to be the best of what they could be given a chance in these circumstances? I guarantee it is not.

So it is. Today we have self entitled politicians who never had the same realities as their poorer cousins who may have missed a meal once in a while, or never new what a holiday was. Wealth and Toryism gives Tory children not just a step up, it gives them privilege, the privilege of being rich. Yet we then go and rate those Tory rich kids as being representative of meritocracy, when they are not. For example a certain politician whose name rhymes so well with Grease-Smug had a private education and considers himself to be above the commoner. Yet Grease-Smug is not actually a bright person. Smug may well have done exceeding well in education, I don't know, but I do know that education or ability to have done well was because of the education not because of his true value. Not because he is someone I'd ever follow into battle.

In British society we have individuals who will concede the value of Grease-Smug, these hat dofters and head nodders take on a subsumed post. I is like they have decided their true values is less than this individual. They have a place in society and their place is to be lower and less worthy of this person who has been silver spooned all of their life. It is class, it is because we live in a society why has the rules of unspoken classes bound within it like the DNA we each have. But class is fake, it is an advantageous system made to keep the wealthy in the best position generation after generation.

Getting to be the best at something depends on the chances given, the education received, the opportunities available it does not depend on being truly of merit when it comes to the highest persons in society. Usually the rich persons, the ones who have made it. The more I think about it the less I actually see of any high ranked person who doesn't have a few million in their bank account. 

This is my bitterness, my dislike. It is being valued at less than what I am. When I look around me there are people I see who are well worthy of meritorious positions. They are not Royals, they don't have the best educations money can buy but they are worthy much more than any of the Tory politicians we have in cabinet now.

Rigor Mortis of Bozo politics

 It feels like I am in an alternate reality, one which should of ended years ago but carries on going. Such is 12 years of Tory governments. My country is dying. My country has chosen a group of the worst sort of people to lead it. Bullies, self-indulgents, corrupt and without a care they are inflicting permanent damage on the lives of the innocents. This is not a country to be proud of, it is one which is trapped in a long lost era which has been hoodwinked and gaslit on those who have not questioned or reasoned what they are seeing or doing. We are at war with each other, a tactic which the Tories love because culture war means there is no class war. Throw a dead cat on the table and before it's had a chance to lose some of that rigor mortis, throw another dead cat, then another.

Bozo the clown leads Britain, a man who has only cared for himself in his life. A man who thinks everything can be made into a game and can be fun. It's a game he's created, he is the game master. He laughs and jokes at every opportunity as though no one can be anywhere as smart as him. Even though the reality is, he is not so smart at all. He is most lucky in his opportunities and his friends and his mates who don't care about what he is but more what he gives to them from the position he is in. Such is a very large intake since the 2019 GE. It's not just the blue wall MPs, it's every other MP as well. Without the clown they would not be there. It was the clown who imposed discipline on those who did not see eye to eye. No matter of their standing or experience, they had to be pulled in line and made to agree. So it is the Tory party is no longer ruled by sense and the delusion of trying to do some good. It is ruled by a liar who cares not about real life because he is wrapped in the cloak of invincibility. Does what he likes and he gets away with it.

It seems way too long to wait for the next election, and fortunately Labour is no longer run by a three legged donkey as a leader, but one who will blur the lines of established swing Tory voters and bring them back.

A message to a Tory voter

Imagine a few years from now, you've been to the doctor's, it was a little niggle, didn't seem much to start out at, then comes the waiting to find out more. Weeks pass, months even. An appointment arrives and a specialist takes a sample or two. There's another wait, this time a little shorter and you're called by the doc again to come in and have a chat. The doc says it's cancer, but they caught it a little late, you can have treatment to extent your life but it's inevitable. You will die. 

Then it dawns on you. You had voted Tory to protect the NHS, you had voted Tory to keep your job, you had voted Tory because it was your patriotic duty to do so, to keep the foreigners out, to keep Britain for the British. Yet, your specialist was not British, the nurse who took your bloods was not British and you're still dying. You voted Tory. The lie reaches it's conclusion. Were there really enough doctors and nurses to see you earlier seeing the specialist would of been quicker, getting on a waiting list would of been shorter and your life would of been somewhat longer.

Worse still now imagine it's not you but someone you love in your family, your partner, a child, an uncle or aunt, your mum. All because you voted Tory against your own best interests. You voted to decimate your own health care, you can't afford a private operation and why should you because you've been paying tax all your life. But the Tory reality is wealthy people pay little if any tax. They ensure their money is theirs and nothing is skimmed off by the state. A little like those very big corporations, the ones who have made a killing and made multimillionaires even wealthier. The likes of posh talking people. The likes of those who run tabloid newspapers. The very newspapers you read each day telling you to vote Tory. So lets ask the question. When did those millionaires and those newspaper owners become interested in you and your health? When?

Corrupt Tory Governemnt Kills Voters

There is a madness about when it comes to politics and the public. In 50 years from now, if humanity still exists we'll be asking what the hell happened when Bozo the clown (Boris Johnson) got elected into government? The answer is complex but initially it is to do with public image and cult status, Cambridge Analytica, Trump and Brexit. The British public were played to the tune of nationalism and the tabloid right wing press. Which was able to hoodwink or rather gaslight the voters of Britain leaving the EU would be a good thing. A good thing for who should be asked. The likes of those who have a few million in their bank account would of been on the edge of their seat knowing it was a good thing for them. For greed, and not giving a shit about the common voting, working class individual. Providing said individual continued to vote against their own best interests. Such is the power of tabloid media. It is always about the detail, but the emphasis is on whipping up emotion. For emotion comes from a more primitive part of the brain and it stops logic performing what it should do. Looking for facts and verification. Minds some people just want an easy life and can't be bothered with being used. With believing what they see. I wonder how they would feel if the veil of Toryism was removed from their eyes and they saw the truth.

Without the media Bozo is a man of mediocrity, in fact his entire cabinet well below standard when it comes to political awareness, I.Q. and political ability.  Raab didn't even read the Good Friday Agreement and confessed to having no idea of the importance of Dover to importing. He also has a Law degree from Oxford and a Masters from Cambridge. The achievement of which could of only come about through gross levels of support and finance, because he is not a leader, or man worthy of asking the time. Patel is a vindictive lemon sucking evil manifestation of the Satan. Her eyebrows cost the taxpayer £70,000 in expenses. What does she thing she is? Bozo parties in his home come office come civil service building, while 150,000 British voters died of COVID. And Labour has at last got a leader ready to modernize the party, to take it forward into integrity, while the socialists on the left as always do their best to sabotage Labour's interests. It's like they don't get it. As think as shite. Get into office first, put on your best face and then you can gradually bring about socialist principles, policies and government. Just like Bozo rode the cycle of Brexit just to get into power. Do anything to get into power. Even if it means being nice and getting on with others, who are by the way in exactly the same party. Or Labour can go down the route of not being in power for the next 100 years and let the Tories utterly destroy Britain.

I am personally sick of Tory Governments. The hate I against them has depthless, they are killing Britain, killing the NHS, killing education, destroying the judicial system, making the policing of Britain anemic and killing voters. If we want a NHS which does everything we need to pay for it. We must ensure all the tax avoiders and dodgers now pay their fair taxes. If they can't understand the spirit of the law and the importance of paying taxes then they need to go and live in another country. Be residents of the Monaco jet set, not of Britain. I thought here we liked to be fair, be just and follow the law. But it's not happening. Our Government has taken over the contract business and it means those who are friends of Tories will be fine. Even if those friends happen to be hostile foreign governments.

Our government is corrupt, a fish rots from the head down and Bozo should not be in office, he should be in prison.

A Political Crime happening now


Britain has two very apparent problems which are tearing us apart. We've become a polarized nation which is full of anger and hate, some refer to this as the footbalisation of views. It probably began with Cameron's, a man with unbelievable hubris. Had the tabloid press eating out of his hand and then gave us a class in disaster decision-making. For the good of the Tory party he allowed there to be a referendum on the issue of Europe.  It was all with selfish reasons, he didn't know how to deal with Tory in-fighting, the ERG were on his back, Farage sat in a corner pulling plumbs out of a pie and then throwing the stones at Camers. If the Tories didn't get their act together they would be just like Labour, pulling themselves apart. For Camers he could only see one version of the future, he'd remain as PM because the country would clearly see coming out of the EU was a big mistake. And of course being so pig ignorant and self absorbed he didn't contemplate or
consider he'd lose. Lose he did.

Like a rat on a sinking ship Cameron left Britain to get on with someone else. It is like someone stuck in a lift with a fart they didn't put there, and one so disgusting they just have to punch a way out. He left us with the most incompetent Prime Minister in the history of politics. But of course we now know Camers was like any ordinary Tory, always out to make good for himself, having nearly come up with £60 million from the Greensill fiasco. Corruption in one way or another is like a name running through a stick of rock, it's the one thing which marks out a Tory.  So now we're left with one PM who has fanned oxygen on the fuel of division. He's done it the best way by dividing up Labour heartlands with his jovial goon publicity as if this were the mark of an innocent man. A polite man, a man who bumbles his way. However, Johnson might appear bumbling, it has worked because of his affiliation with the public, with a face of a maverick character he's charmed half the country.  

Unfortunately this country is now at war with itself and can do nothing about the most corrupt government of our times.In a time of need Britain has required a leader and what we got is a clown and a circus fascist Tory cabinet. A cabinet which is gradually destroying democracy. Breaking down the barriers which would prevent it from gaining another term. They are also absorbed in making money for themselves and if governing gets in the way what does it matter? Bozo the clown is in government because of popularity. He has a following who are willing to forgive him much like fascists of wars. Fortunately the man is not into detail and bumbles all the time. Were he half competent under it all then he'd have droves of supporters marching down the street waving flags and smashing the windows of anyone who didn't support him.


The thing with Bozo is he cannot take criticism well, his stock reply is to shake his head, disagree and say it is all out of context of what he meant. He hates to be interviewed by hostile journalists. What helped him into power was he avoided the most rabid political journalists on TV. He knew he'd be easy meat. Unfortunately, for him there was the odd one who slipped through the net, probably because he completely underestimated them. In the end Bozo  has no conception of how his decision affect the British people. No conception of the realities of what it is to be the PM. But he does like the publicity, like a moth to the light, he jumps for joy and dances when the world is looking at him but really how many moths does one need to see before getting fed up with them. It's like he's oblivious to the cult wave of populism coming to an end. It will, but still the Red Wall of the North which is now a Blue wall of the North is not getting it. They will be even worse off under this continuing Tory government than they ever have been. It's 2021 and things have barely got as tough as they are going to get. In the next 3 years poverty will hit a record high. This government are immovable with their 80 seat majority, but those Tory MPs who think they are riding a victory wave will be getting a lot of flack from their constituents. I'd be money they will not be in their seats come the next election. Providing that is Labour can pull it's socks up and Starmer start to do his job. If he can't pull a rabbit out of a hat in the next 6 months he needs to go. Put in place someone who can tear the Tories apart, someone who is a rabid dog at PMQs, perhaps someone who is a woman. For we all know Bozo is a misogynist and the one thing he'd not like is facing down a woman with backbone.
