Sometimes it is funny to hear what happens in the very public world of politics. Especially in Britain where we now have yet another woman prime minister but this is one who was not voted in by the people. Not to say being a woman is a bad thing, although being a Tory could probably be considered to be a very bad thing as it engenders all those values of selfishness and arrogance the Tories seem to treasure more than their own bank balance. Good old Teresa May has now put her head up again over the parapet to get it swiped at by the press and the public. What indeed is she has done?
Firstly she has ratted out the civil service, emphasising it is not acceptable for there to be leaks in the government and anyone caught leaking will be sacked. Those poor civil servants I sure hope they get out at lunch time and find somewhere secretive to have a good pee because they clearly are not allowed to do it on the job. You would of thought there was a law against telling staff they can't urinate, but this is what happens to employment rights when the Tories take power. It wasn't long after TM made this announcement at a very private cabinet meeting it was then leaked to the press. So what does it say about the cabinet? It probably says they disagree with her, or someone disagrees with her to the extent they are not worried about losing their job. The someone being one of her own Ministers. However, we as we all know is unlikely the axe will fall because the press have a good sense to keep their sources protected. Yep, there is always a man from the press with a long trench coat hiding the poor civil servant and minister who needs to take a leak. Thank Beelzebub for the press those nasty little creatures.
The BREXIT will be a topic of news for many years, this is always going to be on the agenda and will likely be in every episode of Question Time for the next few years as well. So my second item is BREXIT. TM like her cabinet colleagues feels the BREXIT should be acted upon, which is fine, the problem is how it is dealt with, and how TM & Co act. At the moment it is as though they have just one thought "out means out" this tells us absolutely nothing. My three year old beautiful princess J can tell me this when I've been naughty. Perhaps my mind has changed a little on the whole BREXIT issue because it is transparent Europe doesn't like Britain and wants to punish Britain for contemplating leaving their gang. TM and Phillip Hammond are showing their incredible ignorance when it comes to BREXIT and this factor is equally transparent to Europe so if Article 50 is engaged next March the Europeans will get their way in punishing us. They so want to torture the UK and put us in a tail spin, they want to see our economy drop and see a broken country. This makes me angry because they are acting like bullies. Yet TM and PH are falling straight into the trap. Europe is a bunch of 28 nations who don't all agree and are actually beginning to show the cracks, Europe is like a pop group which does well in the early days, makes a few hits and before it those big egos get inflated even more so differences of opinion mean friction and break up. It happens all the time and there is no difference with Europe. Although a bureaucratic administration of states it is not a set of states ruled by a megalomaniac Genghis Khan character. Countries which once wanted border-less boundaries are now putting up fences to stop immigration, yet in the same time they disagree the UK can not have access to the single market unless it allows free movement. Yes it sound like another visit to the toilet. Europe is constipated and is taking it out on Britain and May doesn't get it. She needs to shut up and not even speak on the issue of BREXIT for every word she says makes things worse. In my mind we do need to come out, but hell lets make it a slow negotiation process and bring them to their knees.
A third reason why TM is in the news but is not as pronounced as the first two, is for her support for faith schooling. It is an utter shame the Tories go down this route, but the reason is more than likely related not to religion but to costs. Let faith schools look after themselves, let them spout any ideology they wish and let them brainwash their children to be extremists in all faiths. Because then their education and the results of their education can not be down to Tory ineptitude. We all know young minds are susceptible to being moulded and shaped, and from young minds adults arise. In the guise of a Christian like religion TM also captures the future religious vote, she says the Tories respect your religion and therefore we are worthy of your vote more than any other party. It was the founding fathers of America who left out religion in the constitution. They wanted people to be free of prejudices and although a valid and worthy ideal, humans don't work that way. There will always be bias, but it is possible to have informed bias and logical thought. Which is something Socrates did his best to part to the people. Religion is a form of brain washing and the same choice of religion should be the same choice as goods in a supermarket, it should not be imposed on anyone until they are of age to be able to logically think and question the evidence or belief. As Andre Gide said "Believe those who are seeking the truth, doubt those who find it."
A continuing point of debate will be the UK's deficit. In an earlier post I showed how each being young and old in the UK had a personal debt of approximately £25,000. TM and PH are not tackling this subject and are using the same arguments which came before. They are not able to move out of this mindset and what the UK needs now is a paradigm shift, one so fundamental we all view a personal responsibility to reduce the deficit, one so fundamental the value of money is secondary to the value of humanity and morality. Unfortunately the only whiff of a shift in view point comes from Jeremy Corbyn unfortunately he is an abysmal opposition leader. The party has not changed and my mind about him has now changed, everyone needs to be on board and he just doesn't get it. The UK is heading to bankruptcy and with every continuing Tory government and Labour government we just keep going down the same old road. There will be inevitable poverty and suffering for all of us as the Tories yet again break the NHS, break the Education system and break the people who have made this country what it is.
