Good Riddance Cameron

It is great news Cameron has left number 10. He has been a divisive politician who enjoyed the quip of fear politics to get his way. Then with a little sprinkle of hundreds and thousands on top of the cake Osborne to has been sacked as chancellor.  Or rather the word Georgie put out was he resigned, but we know better.  His post was untenable, he could not of stayed in it for all the tea in China. Imagine how disappointed he must of felt finding not only had his mate left he'd lost his job as well. His austerity budgets have reduced the continuing budget deficit but he never sustained an equilibrium, so the debt continues upwards.

Every thing Cameron said could be guaranteed the opposite of what he meant. When he said child poverty was down it had actually increased; more money was being spent on the NHS but he was referring to actual money and not taking into account per head of population which has trended ever upwards.  Greater numbers of Hospitals have been closed under this government than any other ever, mental health services are so dire the most vulnerable in society are suffering enduring torture of and no help. When stating more people were in work, he mean fewer people were claiming Job Seekers Allowance and doing either zero hour contracts or in poverty as self employed. When the Tory's introduced a reduction in tax for the lowest wage earners it was because their coalition partner's the Liberal Democrats put it on the agenda.  We are living now in a time where the richest are amongst the super rich of the world and the difference is so great between the poor it is abhorrent. He espoused it pays to be in work and introduced the new (Pending Titanic disaster) of Universal Credits he then went on to engineer a developing change so these credits were much less generous and are so much now the old system of in work benefits are more generous. In the Tory manifesto and in person Camers stated migration would be brought down to tens of thousands and he used the cliché words "no ifs, no buts" and then migration it a high of 333,000 migrants.

Cameron's government has unequivocally been one of failure. He deserves to be where he is, on the back bench. Even this was a result of his own hubris belief a referendum would result in staying in the EU. Good riddance!

Immigration it's now an open debate

The discussion about immigration is no longer an elephant in the room and rightly it is being examined in greater detail since the referendum. The reason for this is a sudden increase in hate crime. Unfortunately this has given those who voted 'remain' to then make the outlandish and false remark that BREXITERs are racists. It is again a gut reaction and there must be an English word for false accusations made by people who then want to justify their stance. A little like Cameron's exceptionally misleading comments on poverty or spending on the NHS, although in small part right they are also large part wrong. They are so misleading as to be lies. So accusing an out voter of being a racist is without foundation, especially when there were 17 million who did decide this way.

Those who voted out of the EU did so for multiple reasons and yes one of them is because of immigration. Something we all have a view on and we all have different experiences on. The first premise which must be made in such a circumstance is immigration has historically been a good thing for the UK. Perhaps in thirty years time from today we could look back and say the immigration here and now has also been a good thing. However, it may not feel this way at all at this moment in time. Not now, not if you happen to be a white working class or rather poverty class individual who can barely scrape enough together to make ends meet. At a time of forced austerity by a government which clearly does not care for the working classes and the poverty stricken.

Any vote by any BREXITER based primarily on the immigration issue is one of psychology. It is  based on the concept of scape goating and is all about opportunities and motivation. I recall growing up, having to attend secondary school in a class which had in excess of over thirty pupils. A class where for the most part it was supervised baby sitting. Learning is not conducive in such environments.  Today there is the example of a 28 year I know who got his first entry level job at the age of 23 and is still in the same entry level job. He gained a qualification which I could not recognise it's called BTEC.  He is afraid to leave his job because it took him a long time to get it. He has the potential to do better but didn't have the educational opportunity and was bought up in a poverty family situation.  It is the failure of opportunity of an individual's potential which then leads them to resigned poverty, institutionalised by a system which does not help. Of those young voters who voted out 25 percent did so.  This is not so minor a number for the Remainers to consider it insignificant. Yet they do and they like to think it was younger progressive people who voted to remain in the EU and not some of their own age who also voted out. Let us also consider it is entry level jobs which are being taken up by EEA national immigration to the extent there are real incidents of jobs being advertised in other EEA countries first before being advertised in the UK. There is something very wrong going on here.

My personal experience of immigration is based on things which happen every day in my life. Such as getting on a bus yesterday. Living in a part of London which years ago would of been considered the suburbs but now is probably just as much inner London as inner London can be.  There were fewer white English males on my bus than many other ethnic groupings. Even though the actual bus driver was a white English male, the people on the bus were of all mixed groupings. I certainly heard Polish being spoken, Turkish and then there were African's whose tongue I can not decipher, probably Nigerian but Africa is a continent with 49 countries in it. In probability I would say they were likely Nigerian because England now seems to be a place Nigerian's are coming, something I know as I have worked with many for many years. This daily bus ride is not a one off, it is a regular occurrence and it does feel that I am no longer a majority in my own country.

My BREXIT vote is something I will stand by, because indeed immigration has played a part in it. I don't see myself as a racist and treat people as I would like them to treat me. I understand the need for humanitarian protection for refugees, but I do not accept economic migration.  As with losing weight. Eating food is essential to live, but having too much is not good for your health.

The last year has seen the UK take in 333,000 migrants whereas 30 to 40 years ago this would of been in the tens of thousands. So tell me REMAINERs are these levels acceptable?

Twenty plus years ago I had a conversation with my Turkish neighbour, he'd had a quadruple heart bypass. He said he was is a specialist ward. While he was in hospital and waiting for his operation there had been an emergency and someone had jumped the que, the patients laying in beds were told they in turn would have a delay to their operations. He was bitter as he described what happened, another immigrant had been given priority. So it would seem there now immigrants to the UK who are in turn pissed off at yet further immigrants coming in after them. It is one of numbers and one of sustainability, but it is also one of political government and opportunity for all. Something Tories don't seem to give a damn about.

MP Ian Austin needs to be deselected

It is funny to hear how Ian Austin is now starting to get a backlash to his comment of "shut up" while Corbyn was speaking on the Iraq war and Chilcot report. This comment, from a back bencher shouted out in parliament is crass to say the least. Does this idiot not understand what  image is portrayed in the media when there is open backstabbing? His comment only added fuel to the fire and oxygen to the Tory fear politics of belittling Labour. Perhaps Austin believes he wears a Teflon coat.  He  has been a Labour MP for Dudley North since 2005 so has been an incumbent for 11 years. In the early years Austin was a political advisor Gordon Brown, now if there was any wrong advice to be given good old Brown certainly took it. Austin's advice was so good Gordon collapsed at the general election.

So what is it Ian Austin wants to say? He says to quote him directly here is his comment from twitter:

Immediately on reading this a bit of head shaking takes place. Jeremy Corbyn has considered his subjects in pretty complex detail. He voted against going into Iraq, he wants nuclear disarmament he wants equal rights for all workers, education and high tech skills. The nuclear deterrent is a completely contentious issue, for ultimately nuclear weapons can never be used yet the billions of pounds spent on them is money which could of been spent on education, housing the NHS the safety and security of food, employment etc. There is exceptionally good reason for abandonment of this weaponry. As a union negotiator he has helped ordinary common people in their oppression by employers, he has repeatedly said austerity does not work and it has led us to an even bigger financial deficit than the history of financial deficits in the UK. And only this week Corbyn raised the inequality of investment in the North East of England against the 40 times greater investment in London infrastructure.

It seems not to have been considered by Austin that the largest growing membership of any political party (Labour) is down to Corbyn and just perhaps it is not Corbyn who has got it wrong but the mass of Labour MPs who seem to be reflecting anything but Labour core values. Today Corbyn will be giving a talk to 150,000 delegates and those MPs who were to join him on the podium had their passes rescinded. Corbyn has lead not just a main stream party but the entire Labour movement. As an opposition to Cameron he has not engaged in school ground spats or character assassination or the fear politics which is how Tories control their minions. He has always asked relevant pertinent questions and his respectfulness has shown him to be a true leader. Corbyn goes out of his way to attend as many functions and gatherings as possible he is a tireless persistent advocate who always looks to support the people.

Austin has it wrong as do many other Labour MPs, it is the people of the UK who have gone out of their way to join the Labour party. It is common working class individuals who want this country back and want it fair. They have had enough of giving all their money to utility companies, landlords and travelling costs in the desperate plight to find work. It is only through an equal society the whole of the UK can be prosperous. For it is the working classes who are likely to spend their money on the goods this country used to make but no longer make. It is rehtorical to think because employment is the highest it has ever been we are in a better economy. When those jobs are zero hour contracts and some workers have no work because employers don't give them a phone call to come in. What is wrong with Labour MPs why are they not backing Corbyn? Do they not understand the roots of the Labour party? And why do they publicly tear the party apart when they should be standing by Corbyn standing by the leader of the party.

Ian Austin's behaviour as an MP towards his own leader in the most public of forums is just as worse as Ian Cameron's behaviour. It was a complete disgrace and yet another stab into the heart of Labour from it's own representative. I have no doubt this man should be de-selected as soon as possible and a no vote of confidence in him as an MP made. If Dudley North like him that much then he should stand as an independent for he is not worthy of carrying the Labour banner. Now Labour needs to say "shut up" to Austin you are no longer one of us.

Labour MPs have it wrong, BACK UP Corbyn ya wee shites

The working class British people have voted for Jeremy Corbyn however, MPs who should be representing their Labour constituencies and the working classes.  Their secret ballot resulted in a vote of 125 to 40 of no confidence in Corbyn.  It had to be secret because it is likely a lot of constituents would be contacting their MPs and making their thoughts known. This vote is no doubt an act of cowards who can only let their view out by secrecy. Therefore the question is do they represent the supporters and should they remain MPs?

Going by the sentiment of Labour party members, Labour MPs have completely lost the plot.  Since Corbyn has been leader has member has increased to 300,000 people. The biggest number of supporters ever of any political party.  Corbyn actually does speak for the people his values on social justice and reform are on a par with Labour supporters. Yes he has socialist views, he does not share the same views as any of the recent Labour PMs. He is not an individual who seeks to take the middle road and woo voters from other political parties he is a person who has moral values and sticks to them. He does not believe money wasted on nuclear weapons which can never be used should continue being wasted. He does not believe austerity works and it is clear from the years we have been in austerity not a single surplus pound has been clawed back. Which of course is a judgement against the current government as much as a moral and political view. Effectively what has happened is a complete split in reality of Labour MPs against labour supporters.

It is the Labour party which chooses candidates for elections. Officially another election is not due for 4 years, if however by some quirk a Tory PM were to allow another election then these same Labour MPs may well find they are not supported by their Labour constituencies and are made redundant. They are without doubt pushing their luck.  This is something Tessa Jowell would disagree with she thinks MPs are reflecting members view. However, if they were then surely they would not feely they are being harrassed by Labour party members. There is a discord here between reality and what is in the minds of MPs.

At this moment in time there is a greater need for Labour to bind together and support their leader. This is why members are annoyed and possible aggressive to their MPs, because they feel MPs are not supporting the one person they should be. They are not singing from the same hymn sheet and at this very time Labour should be dominating parliament. But the in fighting is tearing Labour apart. As for Angela Eagle as a potential candidate this is laughable. Her squeaky voice and public disagreement with party policy, like the disgraceful Hillary Benn another traitor to the views of his father is disgusting. Both individuals have done more to create a rift in the Labour party than any PMQs and bullying from Cameron. They need some very deep reflection on their actions.

Labour MPs get your act together or ship out for if you are not with us then you are against us and shouldn't be allowed the privilege of taking a seat in parliament.
