The Brexit Election, a divided country.

Britain has just come out of yet another election and there is a lot to be learnt from the result. It would be easy to say the main focus of the election was Brexit, but it's one of many variables to be considered. Many times the argument was put forward the people had voted, they had decided we should get out of the EU. Other arguments were against Corbyn the MP who historically had made some controversial remarks and supported causes which were vilified. The election was nasty, Johnson used emotive terms which grabbed easy headlines, his was a populist tabloid retort to anything he could. Whereas Corbyn did not simplify arguments against the individual known as ad hominem and tried to position facts. Public image wise Corbyn came across as a rather stiff, teacher like figure who occasionally got uptight and spoke through clenched teeth. Whilst Johnson did his best to be calm, show humorous outrage, was bumbling, likeable and reasoned. Johnson's message was clear, it was a single message, whereas Corbyn's was difficult to understand because it prevaricated, it was neither yes nor no, and the public wanted a dramatic finish to the debate.

However, true in itself, the referendum should of never taken place, it was put into action by a self-centred Tory PM who cared more for washing out the in-fighting with his own party than the reality of a vote which went against his own arrogance. Voters went against Cameron not just for Brexit, they were fed up with austerity, fed up with the political elites not getting it, they thought this country is capable it can pick itself up, be great, have full employment and be doing something. Brexit was a scapegoating event, put the blame on the foreigners not on our own politicians, nor blame the voters for putting the Tories in power in the first place. Further to this those who voted Brexit and those who voted Remain had become two divided camps both dug into their opinion and even if one side of debate was more logical and valid than the other, neither could turn back, there was too much commitment. Then between the 2016 and 2019 a war waged, online, in parliament and on the streets.

The issue of Brexit gets blown up, in reality it is highly complex. Yet the country was given just a dichotomy to consider "in" or "out" nothing else. How could anyone  abandon 50 years of trade agreements, laws and treaties with just a simplified binary vote? For this is exactly what happened when Brexit took place, it was way too complex an issue to be put on the table for fair-weather friends to decide on a whim what impacted on them. The highest level of hubris brought Cameron down, the best ever thing he did was resign, but out of the ashes of resignation came forth a new phoenix, his name brushed off the incompetence of May to become PM Johnson. A man who no matter how much he'd been proven to lie during his career somehow adapted himself yet again to another lie, changed his stance from originally advocating Remain to leaving. This man had no scruples about making money in his career as a pop political journalist, being an MP and also being Mayor of London. His record of cuts and austerity to London has scared it. What he played was a figure head, a focal point for the Brexit voter, something to look towards, someone with just a single message. The election became about Brexit and nothing else, because of those stuck in the ground views by both sides, a binary decision had become one of who is to win which was more important than being right.  When an election should be fought on policies not just a single issue.

Corbyn has history, he has too much political history, but more than this some of his views have been considered extremist, to the extent the average voter could not tolerate voting for him, even though he was the man leading the Labour party. The pictures of him with Gerry Adams and other IRA members are enough to make anyone who remembers the troubles from that time to cuss Corbyn and never let his name be spoken before. No wonder at one point his face was put on dummy training targets for fresh army recruit firing practice. Speaking up for terrorists is always a bad thing when at war with them. He'd been a back bencher for most of his political life and this is probably a place he should stay for a little longer. He believed in nuclear disarmament, nationalisation, getting the rich to pay more in taxes.  Yet, it was Corbyn the man who lost it for Labour, his public image his views and the plethora of material tabloid newspapers were able to find and regurgitate to the public.  In the active pursuit of votes, every nasty vile thing was going to be said about Corbyn and they were going to swing the Labour heartlands over, forced them to face up to it, their man was not up to scratch. He was a London luvie and didn't represent the northern worker.  Corbyn became toxic easily.

At some point Johnson will push the UK out of Europe, yet when this happens how do his voters think Britain will be become better than it is? Some are locked in the belief the Great British spirit will soldier on, will take us through this bad time, that we can make things, we can do things and become Great, it is as though they have been imprisoned in a time capsule from the 1800s when Britain ruled the world and let out again. Britain is not Great, and it never will be, this dangerous word should be removed from all literature because it gives a false notion to the general population we as in Britain were great together. A look at history will tell you, we were not. Britain was good for the wealthy but it has never tugged up the living standards of the poorest. Until that is the welfare state came about and the national health service. Both of which are now going to be pushed to the brink of non-existence. As foreign nationals who work in it begin to leave, all those thousands of nurses from other countries and doctors will now consider their position. Waiting lists will increase and the common British population are doomed to die, little by little. Hospitals will become places of death, the elderly who have no social care will block beds, the frail will die, those who may be of working age but needing an operation to get back into society again and earning a wage will not. They will wait for years on end, they will then receive little to no benefits because the Universal Credit system has been made to only be available to those who are working on the lowest incomes and does it's best to prevent the disabled from applying for benefits, rejecting them and making them jump through a thousand hoops, even the critically ill don't get benefits until they have died. And what is the use then? The system has done it's deed.

The Tory camp went on an offensive, with Johnson pushing for an election as soon as he got into power as a PM. However, he also lowered the tone of debate and played to the silent racist who is always afraid to open their mouth in fear of being found out 

Those voters who indeed lent their vote to the Tories just on the single issue of Brexit have been disillusioned with politics and politicians. But what they don't understand is they have also been used by them, used and now they will be abused for a further 5 years until the penny drops. Then perhaps after a friend or relative has been buried six feet under, or some kind of self realisation kicks in and a light bulb moment comes into awareness. Whereas those who did vote Labour now feel betrayed by what their family, friends and colleagues have done, there will be bitterness and divide to such a deep level many of us will no longer associate or be family to those we once loved. This discord is the very thing the Tories will feed on and enjoy, because it will break up the working classes and as the old saying goes, divide and conquer. They certainly have done that today.

Jacob Reece-Mogg the Disgrace of an MP

JRM or Lord Fonteroy to his mates, is an out and out rich man and believer in the idea some are born to govern. Just like Cameron is known to be. Except in the case of Reece-Mogg archaic behaviour and one's own superiority is worn on his cuff and displayed with free abandon. This man has come to be one of the many focal points of our government. He hopes to make hundreds of millions in the great British pound as soon as he can get the UK out of the EU. It doesn't matter about the effect it will have on the nation, but JRM will be fine. As a hedge fund manager and as an MP he's in the perfect place to push politics in a way to benefit himself. This is what we see now. It is one might consider a form of playing the dark art of politics for one's self. 

Jacob Reece-Mogg is the MP for North East Somerset, which is a very safe Tory seat. However, his behaviour has been disgusting, especially when he implied the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire were lacking in common sense. This he did on a radio program while being interviewed. Soon after he tried to apologise. However, what had been said has such impact and significance it cannot be ignored. There was no taking into account the situation, the advice the fire service had given residents of the Tower, or that it was equal common sense towers of this nature should not be fitted with highly flammable materials which makes them no longer fire safe. Towers which were designed to originally section a fire to the flat it originated from and not allow it to spread. JRM would of known this, he would of been exposed to the media and read the headlines in the newspapers. For of all the things he is, it is not stupid. Yet he has made one very stupid comment. These individuals were different from him and he knew best.

If the residents of North East Sommerset vote this disgraceful MP back into power, it is because they are mindful of keeping a Tory in power, regardless of what he says or does. It would be through ignorance of knowing, this is a man who should not be a representative of a constituency. For sure, there must be blocks of flats in his own constituency and so those occupants may change their view on him. Fingers crossed he is no longer in the next parliament, however given the ten thousand majority he has, it's wishful thinking.

Robert Mugabe, traitor, dictator and theif to Zimbarbe

Sometimes when a politician dies, there is relief, with Robert Mugabe it is not just relief but stunned questioning. Where did he hive off all the billions he stole from Zimbabwe? It is likely some numbered Swiss account is holding it. Why grieve a dictator? Probably because those who grieve are in fear of their lives. In the West there will be no sorrow, and as for Zimbabwe, many of those inhabitants will continue to live in poverty, have no health care and likely die young.

Good riddance Mugabe, unfortunately your legacy will live on, as the bread basket of Africa has now become the waste land.

Trade with a lunatic they call a president, ha!

It is beyond belief America has an orange turd as president, one who can barely read, is a narcissist and believes he has a hot line to a non-existent super entity many refer to as god. Oh dear. Lately as Britain moves towards the inevitable cliff edge we call BREXIT, which is the ultimate in self-flagellation in my opinion, the notion has been we can negotiate a trade agreement with said turd. The erroneous justification is to have respect for the office of president. Even if there is no respect in the actual holder. Lets get this absolutely straight, a corrupt villain who loves to negotiate hard deals with those who are in desperate situations rubs his hands together in anticipation he is about to shaft the entire UK and fist pump his way to heaven, is this who you would have us negotiate with?  Whether Bozo Johnson will have any insight into the obnoxious idea of do or die, and die being a hell of a more salient reality is also another dilemma. For the single reason of having to deal with the orange turd we should just call the whole thing off and stay in the EU. Until said lummox has been put to rest and with such permanence we'll know he'll never return. Perhaps on a never ending golf course where he can cheat at every hole and is always declared the winner. It's not just that he's president, his craving for attention is greater than a toddler who is running off with it's parent's shoe and thinks it's fun.

Nobody really knows what WTO rules mean, lets face it. Life is short and nobody in their right mind would bother to look them up. Yet this seems to be the get out of jail excuse for those who have voted to leave the EU. Unfortunately, they to have not the inkling of what WTO rules mean. They are pulled out of a hat as if to say, this is the end of the conversation, I've won and you are the loser. The issue is we will all be losers and the country will become a much less of a financial powerhouse, even if the same voters believe we are a power house. Fact is, we do an awful lot of trade in the world but this doesn't make us rich, because the deficit is increasing. Our borrowing continues and equanimity still has not been reached. Perhaps the reality is, it never can be reached the way we are going. The economic model this country is living on is dying. The constitutional model our political system is run on is also in the last throws of a poisoning. Each and every inhabitant of this country wallows in ignorance, or should I say some a lot more than others. There are 66 million people here, our elderly population is growing disproportionately, our working population doesn't earn enough to pay the taxes to look after said elderly. Something has got to give. Maybe a cliff edge BREXIT will do it. There will be less access to medical supplies from the EU and there will be less access to food from the EU. The ultimate result will be an increased mortality rate, the vulnerable, elderly, young and disabled will surely be picked off as casualty figures. This is a very real issue. I don't understand why those who voted just don't get it. My prediction is, a substantial increase in mortality during the first years of BREXIT, an increase in poverty and the gradual re emigration of EEA nationals back to their own countries to get away from a UK which will effectively become a developing or rather declining sick man out of Europe.

The death of Mariam Moustafa - when Murder is afray

A young teenage woman, is followed by a gang of other women onto a bus. There’s a video showing that for a short period a young man kept the gang of girls away from her. Or so it seems. The video clip is short and would of surely come from one of the gang. The single young lady picked on is of Eygptian descent, the girls who attacked her were said to number between 6 and 10. They hit her many times. As her father indicated in an interview she had bruises all over her body. The gang of other teenage girls were all black. Six of them were taken to court, the names of three were released, but the others were kept confidential.

This young woman was Mariam Moustafa, 18, was attacked on February 20^th, she went to hospital after the attack, where she was discharged. Then was taken again having been found in a coma. On March 14^th she died of a brain embolism. 

Here is a case of the justice system getting it completely wrong. So wrong as to make it look like a laughing stock. It doesn’t matter it took four weeks for Mariam to die after her attack, the result whether delayed or instant was the same. But just imagine, if Mariam had died on that bus, after the assault what the headlines would of been like. There certainly would of been no delay in arresting the gang and keeping them rightfully locked up. 

Perhaps though because Mariam didn't die instantly this has been treated differently. Which is wrong, the assault on Mariam led to her death, this is fact.  Therefore the salient question is why is it no one has been charged with murder?  Everyone of those girls should be charged by joint enterprise as participants to this cowardly gang bullying and murder. 

Poor Mariam had met some of this group before, they had bullied her and they were intent on harming Mariam. The reason is irrelevant for there is nothing this single young lady on her own could have done to protect herself. Nothing she could of done to provoke this, she was effectively a young woman who faced racism, a hate crime and paid with her life.  Mariam ran onto that bus In Parliament Square, Nottingham. To get away from the gang, she wanted to avoid confrontation. She’d even texted her mother and sister not to meet her as she didn’t want them to get involved or hurt. Seeing the momentary video clip of Marian boils up anger when viewed as this was a vulnerable girl being harassed by a gang of cowards. Girls who should not be allowed a day of liberty, girls who should be paying for their crime properly.

This young lady had her life in front of her, she wanted to be an engineering student, she was loved by her family so much. Her father Mohamed Moustafa is rightly angry at the British justice system, and so to is Eygpt as the story took off like a bomb shell in their press. Mr Moustafa was not kept up to date with the hearing schedule for the accused girls, the courts had kept him in the dark. He had no chance to stare them in the face.

The identified culprits are Mariah Fraser, 19, Britania Hunter, 18, and a 16-year-old girl, admitted their part in the attack before Judge Gregory Dickinson QC on April 16. Three other teenage girls, two aged 17 and one aged 18 admitted affray at Nottingham Youth Court last year.

There should be a consequence to a crime and the consequence should equal the severity of the crime in law. I put it, if all the six girls were on charge for this crime and murder by joint enterprise, they'd crack. Under the pressure of TV, press and pointing the finger of blame at each other. The truth would come out, their vile and disgusting behaviour aired for all to hear. Then justice would be served. So the Crown Prosecution Service have got it wrong. They have not thought this through. Therefore the question is why are they all not on murder charges?

The vulnerable die and the government is happy

There's a sad and depressing article in the press, it's about a woman who was claiming Universal Credit (UC) and this had been suspended or cancelled. By cutting of her benefits the DWP had effectively said she had no right to live. This was the message she got. So this woman took her own life. She was in her 50s had physical and mental health issues which were not going to dissappear. She was without doubt going to be a burden on the national health and the welfare state system for the rest of her life. Her taking her own life was a result of being overly pressurised by the DWP, by not seeing a future for herself, being so reliant on the benefits system there was no way she could survive herself without welfare benefits, without the compassion  of the state to look after her, she died.

The welfare benefits system and the suppressing, depressing life of screaming for help from the NHS could only have one result love, do your self in. So she did. There is only one body to take responsibility for this, it is the British government, it is the Tory government, it is Teresa May's government. They are responsible for what has happened. They are murderers. But there will be no formal trial, no standing up to a judge and accounting for their actions. Even though when Mayhem gave her speech at her maiden speech as PM perhaps I thought her was a conservative who had a conscience and was going to do something good. Yet, true to nature the Tories don't give a fecking shit. They don't care about anything that happens to the poor or the working class, they only care for their own, for ensuring yet another million pounds is made by a rich man who talks with a plumb in his mouth and doesn't give a shite.

Ultimately in the long run these abhorrent individuals who call themselves Tories are probably doing it for the financial good of the country. They can't wait for vulnerable individuals to top themselves and end up six feet under as their potential lifetime has been cut off short. So short they have now saved the state an awful lot of money. Now just imagine this woman had another twenty years left of her life. Twenty years which would of equated probably to another two million in a combination of NHS costs and welfare benefits. For it's not just the paying out of those benefits it is the administration of those benefits. This is a plan which has been purposely put in place. If the UK government is able to kill off enough vulnerable needy individuals it will save millions upon millions of pounds in costings. The cost of health care and the cost of the benefits those sad persons would of got, it has to be intentional. It has to be in the belief they are doing good by forcing suicide. This government wants such persons to die. Amber Rudd admits the benefits freeze has had an impact of families, but it is also individuals who have been affected.

Orindary working class, or what is now poverty class individuals are dying, dying because of the worst government ever in the UK. A government which must go, a government which believes in poverty and inequality to function.
