Trump the Facist in Waiting

Trump is a mad man. I don't mean this in a flippant way, or say it in order to be mildly humorous. He's actually mad. 

If this man comes into power, he will be used and manipulated like a mannequin. If evil could formulate the rising in flesh and blood form of the Devil, Trump would be something along those lines. If not the actual devil a direct conduit.  A mouthpiece. Pull a string here or there and it will obediently do ones will. He has been described as a man child, but is certainly more child than man. Another term is narcissist, which certainly fits. He wants to do anything he likes and not be held to account. 

 For all of his life this has mostly happened. Money is like a vaccine when it comes to jail time. So is influence. He'll never spend a day behind bars no matter how suitable he is. Instead, in a mocking way he colours his skin orange. The big tangerine, prefrontal lobe dementia suffering oaf will carry on. His medical records are kept secret, very much like his qualifications. When he does kick the bucket his family will take over. For he sees them all as one happy crime syndicate. Like his genes the one thing they all want is attention, more money, power and recognition. Narcissists and their narcissist families live for nothing else.

But if anything, his notoriety has come about through fame.  Being on TV and in the public eye gave him the power he has now.  His personality had been seen for decades, as a bigger than life on American TV show The Apprentice show. There he spoke lies of how successful he was and in his bragging won over many a follower.  They root for him, the gullible and ill educated love him, he's the imaginary success they wish they were.  They have become full-blown cult members and know very much how Trump behaves.  He identifies as one of the workers, one of the strivers, but he is not. He has never worked a real day in his life. His power has got so big, he now completely runs the Republicans. There is not a Republican politician who doesn't seek to be on the side of the tangerine. For if they fall out of favour, then they will lose their seat. The floor will collapse and every cent of their wealth will ebb away. It is like the tange has them wrapped around his little finger.  Worse still it is influential blackmail, the entire Republican Party knows this.

Are there any other Republicans left who don't kiss the feet of the Tange? Are there any who recognise this man is not a Republican? He is a con artist who has sold a truck load of snake oil. It's nothing more than a Ponzi scheme. He is a traitor to the Republicans, he is a traitor to America. Many of Trump's supporters don't really have an understanding of what a Fascist is. It's very much like most of America doesn't understand what communism and socialism is. These are words that have a bad rap. But Fascist? It's not even in their dictionary. Will they wake up? Will some of them when they get to the ballot box actually say to themselves I'll just pretend to vote Trump, but really I'm gonna vote Harris?

I came across a concept some time ago. We either all win or all lose, and I've become to think any divided peoples will be like this, losing.  Come the 5th November, it's not just America which will changed if Trump gets in. It is the whole world. As he has said as well. There will never be another election after this one. Some disturbing words. It's not going to be a game, and it certainly will be life or death for many.

May's grip on BREXIT fails

May has just announced the agreement to a BREXIT has been OK'd by the cabinet. Of course the reason for a unanimous agreement which by the way only come about after the meeting took another two and a half hours, was purely to stay in power. Why? Because the Tories love being in power, love ruling and to the greatest degree of arrogance can never ever let go. They will sell their granny to stay in power. Teresa the robot May walked out to a single microphone, it was the walk of a woman with the country on her shoulders. Physically being the PM has taken it's toll on her, she looks like she's already prepared to go into an OAP home and have the spittle wiped from her lips as she is coaxed into stirring a sponge cake mixture. How the hell is this woman still running the country?

So it was, within minutes of the announcement the DUP had chastised the agreement. They were not going to vote with the government, this single announcement by itself has now thrown the weight of government into disarray. The crunch point has come, in the next few days we'll know whether the desperate Tories can stay in power or whether they are about to be flushed down the bog. Take into account the numbers of backbench MPs who are so now so disgruntled the party vote versus conscience vote has now swayed fully to conscience. This government is about to have yet another trial over whether it stays in power and this time it seems like fingertips are not going to be enough to hang on.

Bye, bye blues.

Trump an Embarrassment

There must be many American's alive who would turn in their grave were they dead in acquiescence of the USA now having the worst and most incompetent leader of the world. Or perhaps not, if North Korea's leader is thrown into the pot. The two though do have a common characteristic, which comes across as individuals with a childlike emotional intelligence.  The word intelligence also probably being something rarely spoken about in their respective political circles. In yet another news article where Trump was interviewed by Time magazine and as usual avoided answering any questions about his own fake news he retorts to the journalist he must be doing well because he is the president and you're not. This really is behaviour of someone with subnormal mental abilities and the sort of thing a child would say. I can't help but shake my head repeatedly as the disastrous presidency continuous and the same question comes out, how can a moron like this be president and allowed to continue to get away with what he says? However, maybe some heads of state tell it like it is.


When Angela Merkel and Trump sat in a chairs in front of photographers, Trump had his demeanour stooped and a look on his face like he had just been severely reprimanded by his favourite aunty. In short, he could of burst out into tears at any moment. For a while it seemed Trump had other things on his mind and wasn't even thinking about the fact he was now being photographed for the international press with the head of the most powerful European country sat next to him. A country which is not running at a deficit and one which does not adhere to policies of putting up boarders and alienating refugees who flee death in their own country.When Angela asked him if he'd like to shake hands for the cameras she was snubbed. It was awkward to say the least. The entire media heard her ask the question, it was recorded on live TV but Trump sat there dour faced and doing nothing. The alternative is he didn't actually hear Angela, possible because he was doing what men normally do when they are sexist misogynists, pretend they didn't hear it. Trump is the representative of all of America and this is how he acts. Again. Why is this man allowed to continue?

Trumps allegations of wire tapping have now rebounded back in his face as Britain's intelligent services have retorted he has lost the plot, and he has. This is probably because Trump is a conspiracy theorist, who only listens to the nefarious right wing news outlet known as Fox News. Which really shouldn't be allowed to call itself a news broadcaster as it is more of a far right wing supremacist organization. However, Trump doesn't mind for their word is like the word of his own fictitious god, by the way his is an atheist in disguise, you can tell because he doesn't know any hymns.
The wire tap claim just really cemented Trump as a conspiracy nut, as with all his fake news there was no evidence. Unless you count the moment when he says he was just repeating what was said on a Fox News program. This bogus item came from a lawyer it did not come from any of the US intelligence agencies and they have been a pains to stress there is no such evidence. It's funny though, those around Trump must support him and vindicate what he says, after all they want to stay in power as long as possible and justify their wages. However, the likes of Spicer giving press conferences is short of a couple of things, well maybe more than a couple. For in reality Spicer comes across as a clown, he really does need to get a red nose, big shoes, some make-up and a clown suit. His press conferences would perhaps be more factual, because at the moment the suit he does wear makes him look out of place. And it is important in politics to look in place. Maybe, he and Trump go to the same tailor and the clown suits have just been lost, or maybe the circus in town has can't afford a clown act when the national clown act is doing so well.

The thing with people like Trump, is there always comes a time when they do something so stupid even their own supporters can not support them any more. The meals on wheels fiasco has now seen a number of his voters drop their heads in shame and wish they had stayed at home. It is only a matter of time when other Republicans of a higher ilk will start to counter plot against their idiot leader. It will happen. At which point I wonder if Trump will set contracts on them or just use a anti aircraft gun to complete their execution. No doubt he follows the highlights of what North Korea does to their traitors. When in fact the most traitorous person is the one who doesn't represent his own country and his own peoples. The one who looks after himself not giving a shit about the rest of society. I wonder who I could be thinking about? Damn where did I leave that golf club?

One day Trump will not be on TV, lets hope this isn't after he has contributed to the destruction of the planet and world war 3. How long is he going to continue? Now anyone's guess is valid, the sooner he is kicked out of office the less embarrassment the USA will continue to endure.

Phone Tapping - Trump fake news

The merry-go-round of entertainment continues as the ongong worse American President in history continues to disseminate lies and his own brand of fake news in order to appease his own battered ego. This could be a narrative of Kim Jon-ung ruler of North Korea however it's not although both he and Donald Dicky Duck Dump Trump might of well come from the same genetic line were it not they were born on different continents.  It's probably certain if Donald's grandmother hadn't gone to America then Donald would of never been born or had he been born, it might of been in the depths of
Glasgow, where his inherent ginger locks would of made him fair game. If he acted there the way he acts today he'd no doubt of been stabbed a few times and served time in prison, for his behaviour would not of been tolerated. Unlike Jong-Uug the Trump doesn't have access to VX nerve agent because he would no doubt of gotten rid of Obama for one followed by every free thinking and democratic supporting news media. One thing's for sure Donald's personal vendetta list must get longer by the day.

Recently Donald has accused Obama of having enforced phone tapping of Trump Tower. Funny thing is were this true then Donald would not of won the election. But it doesn't matter, the bottom line is probably to do with Obama having a bigger crowd at his inauguration, see the latest picture released
by the National Park Service at Trump's very own request. The result suggests he has just slapped a custard pie in his own face. Trump is simply jealous, the phone tapping saga is a revenge tactic of  invent and retrospective poison. This preoccupation with Obama is no doubt time consuming and a good method of side stepping the real decision a proper president would be undertaking. Like I guess how the hell is he going to deport all the Mexicans? And pay for it. The thing is the FBI's head of service Jim Coney public states such a thing could not happen and did not happen. It is clear from Trump's preference of the Tweet media he likes to throw out his own conspiracy theories and accusations which amount to lies.

The legislative checks and balances of American government changed after the Nixon debacle, future presidents would not have the power to order a phone line tap of any kind. This can only be done by a specialised surveillance court not a president. The real concern of this however, is were such a wire tap actually taken place it would of been with strong enough evidence to influence the court some kind of illegal deed was taking place.  I might hazard a guess but collaborating with Putin might well be the sort of thing Trump would do.  Therefore in a way Trump is saying "I am a crook, I know,
because my phone was tapped." He may well be a crook, but the blatant ignorance of law and government working only again underlines Trump is not a clever man, in fact, clever is probably a word not in his dictionary. He may be an entertainer given his success on the Apprentice, but he's not the man you want who holds the nuclear football, as Hillary said. Trump seems to be in a complete and separate world of his own when it comes to reality, which suggests he either has his own mental illness or he has a mental illness other than an intellectual deficit.

The unfortunate and sad thing about this man is although his actions are farcical (and every day brings with it more deranged behaviour) at some point they will no longer be farcical but become both tyrannical and tragic. Very much in the same fashion as Jong-ung, only at this point will those electors who voted him show a little insight and realise what they did was to give more power to corporate America and desecrate their own democratic systems.

The Copeland disaster for Corbyn



The problem with Corbyn is not actually Corbyn at all, it's the rest of the world. Lets face it he's had little to no support from the media and has been fighting a continual battle with his own MPs. Corbyn is by no doubt a true socialist and a true working class advocate as well as advocate for those who are not in work, however the voters no longer side their political belief system to their actual circumstances it is like they have lost the thread and make their own choice decisions. It goes to say
when there is a reaction it doesn't mean there will always be a reaction. Unless you happen to be an MP born in the wrong era, who has become disconnected not with your core supporters but with the public in general. The truth be said, Corbyn is too honest for his own good he does not practice the dark art of wearing a sheep skin misdirection and double speak in order to act the way he wants to act. He is transparent, obvious and to this extent has lost the political football. Like John Prescott would never of been a Prime Minister, Corbyn is the same, I'd have him in my cabinet but he'd never be in the driving seat.

Recently two Labour seats had by-elections, Copeland and Stoke-on-Trent. The news is now how spectacularly Labour lost Copeland and there is good reason. The facts of Copeland are staggering, it had been held by labour since 1935 so would be the typical safe-seat by any standard, it underwent a mid-term by-election and the normal running majority should of been in the region of 2000 votes. But this was not all, the elected candidate for Copeland was Gillian Troughton a former doctor, councillor, and pro-nuclear (unlike Corbyn) advocate. She also ran with the subject of NHS cuts and the loss of a NHS hospital in Copeland, in many respects Gillian was the ideal person and if there every had been a safe bet to put your money on, without actually going to Copeland and feeling the water, this was it. However, the Tories produced an earth shattering win and a hell of a demoralising loss for Labour. Their lead is now 2000 plus votes against the 2000 previous loss and they won against the backdrop of NHS cuts and a hospital loss. So the question on everyone's lips is how the hell did they do it? Given Gillian's background this is a disaster. Unfortunately there has been a somewhat feeble excuse given, Corbyn doesn't like nuclear so the voters didn't vote Gillian in.  I don't believe this.

In order to be a politician it is necessary to implement the dark art of spin. The success of any government gaining power has been by their ability to say one thing but do another. Corbyn's straight talking is a clear sign of his unwavering concrete socialist views, unfortunately the world is not black and white it is many shades of grey. An example can be seen in Trumps inauguration speech, when this was being aired it was surprising how much he said was clearly socialist in sound but at the same time it is just as clear this man is a Republican. Perhaps voters are not politically savvy, perhaps they don't understand nearly every politician wears a sheeps skin. Corbyn doesn't and this is a problem. You can't win an election unless you can persuade voters from all parties to vote for you, effectively stealing votes.. The sad thing is voters no longer identify with any specific party, the middle ground is bigger than it has ever been and the need to court the media is imperative. Fact, sometimes you must shake hands with the Devil whether you like it or not. And Jeremy Corbyn just will not.

If Corbyn can't adapt and change to the voter climate he will not lead Labour to a win and if he has no self insight it is the country he must represent not just his core socialist voters he would step down. I don't like saying this and hate myself, but it has been way too long now and the loss of Copeland is the last sign for me.

A president without presidential behaviour

Donald (Duck) Trump took a press conference on his own, on Thursday 16.02.17. and he let his dislike of the media be known. His conference sounded like a man who was bitter at being misrepresented, yet at the same time had no self recognition of his own misrepresentation of facts. He he has no self insight into what his actions may well do to himself let alone to others. I am not an American so my opinion may be considered less worthy, but it is a shame because I am a lover of politics and probably know more about American politics than some of those very people who live and breath in that country. Further I do have an opinion and don't think the car crash Trump presidency is one which just affects America. It affects the planet, the world and certainly the UK as well. Therefore I will give my viewpoint and stand by the opinion his term will not last and can not last a full six months

I ask however, why does Trump take a news conference on his own when the scrutiny and spotlight should mean he fact checks everything he says and gets it right. The answer is likely because he loves attention and self advertisement. Or he believes his job is at threat and it is in a defensive stance, by re-asserting what he has done he appeases the hardest of Republican supporters and Trump supporters alike doing everything he can to justify himself.

  • The constant jibbing of his predecessors poor governance. There is no surprise in this tactic, it seems to be a common one used by those in power until there becomes a time when it is so old in the tooth it is no longer applicable. But in Trump's case there is a certain delight in damning the last US President and the mess the US was in. The thing is, the US still is in a mess and as each day continues with Trump as president there may well be a bigger mess at the end of his autocracy.
  • The repeal of Obamacare, is a blatant defiance of the Democrats as Trump states they are not Republican supporters. This is not an answer, this is a man attacking the healthcare of poorer Americans because they don't support him, there is no compassion he simply does not care for this healthcare plan and considers it is too expensive. However, in tarring all those with the same brush he also hasn't considered whether a proportion of those same Obamacare recipients are actually Republican voters, for in my experience there will likely be. The thing with this healthcare it was neutral to politics and political persuasion, non of the applications requested details of who the recipients voted for.

  • In another attack Trump chastises Hillary Clinton on giving away 20 per cent of American uranium and states Hillary had a reset of the plastic button. I had to google this point as it sounds a particularly vindictive statement and probably one which would be a national security threat. So in a reasoned question would any American government give away 20 percent of it's Uranium to any other country? The answer has to be no, surely not. The answer given by by Vox.com is:
  1. The mines, mills, and land the company holds in the US account for 20 percent of the US’s uranium production capacity, not actual produced uranium. 
  2. The State Department was one of nine federal agencies and a number of additional independent federal and state regulators that signed off on the deal.
  3. President Obama, not Secretary Clinton, was the only person who could’ve vetoed the deal.
  4. Since Russia doesn’t have the legal right to export uranium out of the US, its main goal was likely to gain access to the company’s uranium assets in Kazakhstan.
  5. Crucially, the main national security concern was not about nuclear weapons proliferation, as Trump suggests, but actually ensuring the US doesn’t have to depend too much on uranium sources from abroad, as the US only makes about 20 percent of the uranium it needs. An advantage in making nuclear weapons wasn’t the main issue because, as PolitiFact notes, “the United States and Russia had for years cooperated on that front, with Russia sending enriched fuel from decommissioned warheads to be used in American nuclear power plants in return for raw uranium.”

  • Other countries have been taking and advantage of the US for decades. And Trump has repealed the transatlantic trade agreements, which by the way would of led to a great advantage to American companies for it allowed them to sue governments when they failed to win contracts due to those governments own laws. For example an American tobacco company could sue a government which had laws against tobacco advertising or tobacco logos which may have prevented the company from getting a foothold. Such as happened in Australia.
  • Repeatedly Trump indicates he gets his news from TV, and no doubt the most informative TV will be the staunchly Republican, Fox News. Yet in the same instance Trump chastises CNN and says CNN spout out hatred of him. Trump is taking this pretty personally and it's evident during the news conference he does not have the capacity to see there should be different sides to any news story as there are many different truths/perceptions.

  • Flynn was doing his job and Trump has no interest in Russia. Trump likes Putin because he phoned him and congratulated  him on gaining office. Trump considers the whole Russian thing as a ruse and more than this believes the belligerent attitude of news companies against him are doing their best to make it more difficult to make deals with Russia. Trump's intention is clear, he wants to do some kind of deal with Russia and he refuses to be pulled into debate about Russian aggression against American defences. Trump effectively has rose tinted glasses when it comes to Russia.
  •  The news is fake. So much of the news is fake. He then goes on to say how he hates fake news yet the biggest generator of fake news especially from the White House is the spurious opinion which comes straight out of his own mouth.  Trump was challenged in this saying his calling it fake news was disrespecting the reporters and the news. What Trump doesn't understand is the networks decide what their own news is and what takes precedents not what he thinks.
  • The chastising of the news media for leaks from the White House. News which Trump considers to by highly classified. However, what Trump consider is he can not prevent other world leaders from leaking the conversations he's had with them. This will get back to the US no matter what. Additionally, when Trump has had conversations which verge on the illegal and immoral it is these he does not want the media reporting on, because they give him bad publicity. A reporter says the leaks are real but the news is fake referring to how Trump perceives news. Trump doesn't back away from still calling it fake news. This is the kettle calling the pot black, in the instance of Hillary giving away American Uranium and it been clearly misleading, this is a prime example of Trump fake news.

  • Funnily enough Trump does not like to be interrupted, when taking a question about anti-Semitism he takes it as an affront and tells the correspondent to "shut-up" for Trump will not answer any more. In the meantime any correspondent who comes forth with an easy and sympathetic question he will say it was a "nice question" and gladly answer it. Usually it's because it was an easy question and didn't require him to think. For of all the things in the world, thinking is something Trump doesn't like to do for himself.
What is obvious from the news conference is Trump likes the sound of his own voice, he likes to interrupt overly long questions and not give the questioner any more time than necessary. Particularly if the question is talking too long. Trump gets bored to listening to someone else so talks over them, and converts an answer to suit his self. Simply he doesn't answer the question.  In may well be an element of his narcissistic behaviour kicking back in.
 
What Trump doesn't understand and will probably never understand, the mark of any good leader is the ability to answer the most difficult questions not the easy ones, and those difficult questions will come from sources unsympathetic to your own cause. A truthful and well thought out response is then recognised by all who hear it.

Arrogant arsehole Donald Duck Trump.

If there is one witless moronic and arrogant arsehole it has to be Donald Trump. There is little doubt in my mind this man has been raised from a position of privilege all his life but more than this he has never needed to mentally apply himself and his a weak individual. There must be more people out there than just myself who see his behaviour and find it hits a prehistorical emotional point. One of complete dislike and to the point of wanting to do physical damage to him.
For his poorly applied tanning spray and his down-the-nose look on everybody, strutting chin of self importance and robotic physical movements all point to someone who is sadly so full of himself he should be locked in a padded room and never given access to a mirror. Not to mention allowed near a woman, ever again.

Only a moron would think he can accuse all the media of being bias, well all the media which doesn't see or accept his unproven unevidenced points of view. It is known he avoids taking questions from the liberal press because they are too probing and accusatory. Questions which would make him uncomfortable to answer, because he just simply doesn't have any answer and they do not accept the bullshit which comes out of his mouth.

Lets take for instance the recent loss of Michael Flynn, US national security advisor. It is known Flynn had spoken to the Russians and assured them sanctions would be moved. However, he had done this in the capacity of a private citizen before Trump was president. Michael Moore has said it is unlikely anything Flynn did was done without Trump's knowledge. When considered this makes sense. Trump has echoed his liking of Putin as a strong leader and business man, probably because he thinks Putin is like him, a man who is self-made (although Trump never is self-made) and a man who is rich both in wealth and power. So it is exceedingly plausible this thought is true, it just makes sense. Just as it makes absolute sense Flynn fell on his own sword, he simply had not choice in the matter. If he didn't then it may well of resulted in Trump immediately being impeached or the heavy weight of the need for truth being centred on him. As it is he is already under a lot of suspicion and no doubt there are a number of unhappy Republican senators with Trump. He stands up and talks like a moron using such words as if he is speaking to a school of primary children or even nursery children. His language must be seeking the naive and uneducated Republican masses, the very masses who believe the world centres only around America and no one else. Trump says the right things to his core highly right wing people, but not just those ones as well, he has touched the sentiment of those electors who are fed up with politics. Yet how can these voters justify voting for someone as self-centred and narcissistic as Donald Duck Trump? Their sense and sensibilities must be getting trailed each and every day. When there is so much media evidence this man should not be allowed to control an ice cream stall let alone a country his presidency can not be sustained. For each day of each week which goes past sees yet another dilemma as he does his best to show he is king of the world and doesn't give a shit.

Now is the time for the media and the press to step up and put the highest level of scrutiny on the highest office in the world, every second and every hour of every day.

Trump can't read

Well the latest theory to hit the headlines is Trump cannot read. Yep, the President of the greatest (allegedly) country in the world doesn't know his ABC and has never read a book. How many republicans are turning in disgust they have voted into office an illiterate ignoramus? In fact it is so serious it is funny and not funny at the same time. While Russia plays high level chess in it's arms alliance with Syria there is Trump getting all his news from watching TV. It is assured he also doesn't have critical thinking skills and has also never read a report in his life. This reminds me a little of Phillip Green the barrow boy who scammed Woolworth employees of the pension fund and let the company go bust. What they both have is enough money to buy people who can read reports then tell them what they want to know. Of course there is nothing Trump doesn't know in his little mind, in reality he's as thick as they come and holds the lives of every American in his small hands. This would be a great time to believe in a non existent spiritual entity, like Santa Claws or the tooth fairy because America you are going to need every bit of help you can get.

Trump - not in his right mind

There was more than just a shiver when Trump got elected president. It is nothing to do with his inability to spell, but rather with his unofficially diagnosed malignant narcissism. Something which has been in and out of the papers constantly during his first and second weeks of office. But in reality it does not take much think here is a person who is not right in the head. The obnoxious way in which
he walked to the inauguration ceremony was sickening. It was the body language of someone incredibly smug with themselves, someone who had little in the way of self dignity. If such a person were just walking along the street like this he'd be open to getting assaulted. It was slimy, and again his actions were mirrored yet again in the sickening display of his first dance with the first lady. In this case her body language was of a woman who had been coerced to dance with the most disgusting man in the world. All I could think is Melania (third wife by the way) must of been on drugs the night she conceived, or hypnotised. Or perhaps Donald or Donny as those close to him like to call him. Donny, so it is said has a large stash of rohypnol under the bed, that's how he does it. The second impression I get is she's a gold digger and had hit the jackpot, it stands to reason a beautiful woman who came from Slovenia a poverty stricken country. She's ironically an immigrant to the USA who has gained citizenship only after ten years, and by chance marriage to an orange celebrity who is so tight he probably applies his own fake sun tan cream. In fact it is doubly ironic because everything about Trump's heritage is foreign, he might of been born in the good old US of A, but his mother was Scottish and his father German. His personal family history isn't American, it is European, he was born in America which is as far as it goes. How can a man with so little in the way of being actually American tell real fellow American's they need to keep the foreigners out. He is less American than 99.99 percent of actual American's.

Donny doesn't act like a president. It's one of the most obvious things about him. He acts more like a spoilt thug brought up in the slums who has made it big and everybody around him must genuflect. He has an element of histrionics about his behaviour as well. The juvenile habit of using social media to disrespect other people and to publicly rant and rage is of someone who doesn't care about being judged by those people around him. His personal wealth has meant there has never been a need to curb his behaviour. Unfortunately it has also meant he's had no time for self reflection on his behaviour. For him it is number one who counts and no one else. We can see this in his current attempt to ban people from 7 Muslim countries from entering the US. The countries he has his own businesses or interests in are not included. The biggest prime example must be Saudia Arabia. It's common knowledge of the 19 terrorists which attacked America on 9/11 that 17 of these came from Saudi Arabia. In terrorism terms Saudi is the genesis point of all terrorist funding as well as being one of the biggest customers for buying arms from the Western world. To which the UK can be pretty much an embarrassing participant. The word is 'selective.' This is someone who certainly cares about his own business interests even while in office as president and one thing we can guarantee over the next four years is a repeat display of ensuring his businesses are not affected by any decisions he makes. Even as president of the US of A, he cares more about his on empire and no doubt we'll see him milking the country for his own benefit.

Yvette Cooper needs to go

After watching an interview from the Daily Politics show between Yvette Cooper and Jo Coburn it is crystal clear, this woman does not represent her constituency and needs to be kicked out of her seat. The reason for this is the toxic subject of immigration. Jo reminded Yvette there was 66 per cent support for a BREXIT in Yvette's own constituency, but yet Yvette was on record multiple times as having supported the remain camp. In a typical back peddling exercise we see Yvette hop skip and jump backwards, doing everything she can to make herself look like she was trying to advocate means to tackle immigration, but at the same time was a remainer. The two views are contradictory. An MP should represent their constituency, so Yvette has gone against the opinion of her own supporters who were massively in favour of BREXIT. Yvette Cooper's seat as an MP is untenable because of this.

Yvette Cooper is MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, this constituency is in West Yorkshire but it is clear from her accent she is not from this part of the UK. Prior to 2010 this her constituency was Pontefract and Castleford where she became an MP in 1997, taking over from an a previous entrenched Labour MP Geoffrey Lofthouse who decided to retire at that time. Lofthouse's last election victory saw him with an eye watering 23,000 majority vote, which was 69.9% of the vote.  Effectively Yvette Cooper had began her life in politics with one of the safest seats an MP could hope to gain. It has been given to her on a silver platter, she didn't need to graft, to go out and talk to the public or do anything spectacular at all. All she needed to do was stand there like an scare crow and she would of been voted in because she was the officially elected Labour candidate. 


Yvette Cooper was actually born in Inverness yet does not have a Scottish accent. Her father went down the road of being a professional unionist, so no doubt had many strong union ties. Yvette was educated in Hampshire which again is a at least 100 miles away from where she is now as MP.  She did her PPE degree at Oxford, which suggests she was fortunately supported by her parents who forked out the financial spondoolies to help her on her career path. Cooper is not a Yorkshire girl in any sense of the word and cannot be representative of a constituency she probably had never visited prior to her being put on Labour's candidate card. The whole process of selecting Yvette Cooper has a resounding smell of nepotism from the ranks. It is ridiculous MPs are selected by parties and they have not actually come from the constituencies they represent and is false representation of the worse kind. Cooper should of tried her hand at being important in Hampshire not in Yorkshire. Infact the more details which are apparent from Wikipedia and other sources indicate Cooper has led a pretty privileged life, nothing of the sort which could be anywhere near understanding the hard working people of West Yorkshire.

So again the question is, why is Yvette Cooper an MP for a constituent she had no ties with? Why is she still an MP when she clearly went against the voting record of her own constituents in the BREXIT referendum? None of this adds up and begins to stink so bad it smells nearly as bad as the nepotism which is expected in Tory party politics. Cooper didn't go back to Alton in Hampshire to represent a constituency where she grew up for good reason. In 1997 East Hampshire polled Tory with a majority of 11,000 and 48% of the vote. So in reality this woman had a privileged upbringing in a Tory constituency and enjoyed the Tory life style as she grew up. Her political career no doubt had been heavily helped by family ties to the unions. For there is no way in hell she could of had any kind of career in politics in Hampshire.

It is a sad incitement of politics when politicians do not come from the constituencies they are in some way tied to. Yvette Cooper's case is a prime example of our own government now being overtaken by career politicians who have not held jobs outside of politics, who have no unique quality which marks them out as different and a character you can identify with. The fact is Cooper could of just as well became a Tory if she wanted and certainly in a place she knew.

Shami Chakrabati new love of Tory ideals

I used to think that Shami Chakrabati was the proverbial knight in white armour, standing up for the rights of the poor, the vanguard of Liberty and above the sodden damned behaviour of a Tory. Yet this is not the case, since leaving Liberty, getting her honours and becoming Baroness Shcarabati with a CBE there is an apparent hypocritical aspect of her behaviour. In fact, if I hadn't known otherwise I'd of said she was now right leaning and possibly sitting on the electric fence of the nasty Tory party. For example, accepting her honours stinks of someone like all of those who have before, being a sycophant to the establishment. And especially to royalty, which in normal left circles would be like drinking tea laced with cyanide. No lefty in their right mind would accept a CBE honours, it is disgraceful behaviour to say the least. Going into the house of Lords though could have a advantage to the Labour party as it puts another red bum on a seat.  Perhaps slightly strengthening their position, except for the fact the Lords is overrun with Tory incumbents and more Lords than there are seats.

Another item which has come out now in the press, is Shami sending her son to a private £18,000 a year school. This is so disgusting it will probably mean some olden labour members will have thought they'd just washed their mouths out with sewage. Shami has been for state schools and improvement of the education system but it is as though her popularity, wealth and fame has now pushed her to the heights of try Toryism. She has become a complete and utter hypocrite. How can she stand up and advocate for the rights of the under privileged in this country and yet drink from and eat from the tables of the fat privileged classes? By all means Shami support your son in his education, get him a private tutor at the weekend or in the evenings but give him a understanding of the values state school provides, not the arrogance of the wanker Tories. Shami is now by default making her son a right wing priveleged member of the elite who will look down on the rest of society as the Tory bench does now. Believing their rule and wealth is something of an entitlement and is not never wrong.

I know Shami is trying to be a help to Corbyn, it was her who wrote a report into the labour party and it's anti-semetic actions and how to deal with racist, xenophobic members. Yet, Shami is stinking now so much in opulence she should take herself out of the public eye and never again venture into the political realm. Unless of course she accepts she is now a full Tory. Then we can all elaborate on how very nasty she is.

Education, society and the 11 plus exam

There is an indisputable fact the world is unfair and becomes more apparent when growing up, in the finite steps between childhood to adulthood success and failure is determined. The availability of opportunities determines the direction where an individual is going. Not their actual mental ability. Whilst, an espoused theme is educational attainment level relates to opportunity. This is not true, for education is not particularly the most important thing for a child. It is the alleged educational level decides a child's future. Yes, education can be a highly significant factor in a child's future however a further advantage can be sort by providing a child with the want and the motivation to get the highest grades possible. Paying for this through private schooling, tutoring or lots of parental assistance is always adding to their advantage.

No matter how the political system of the UK changes, any conscious person can see the wealthier and more engaged parents are with their children the more opportunities there will be. Parenting skills and upbringing have a direct relationship to where a child ends up as an adult.  The unfairness of Britain's education system or rather life opportunity system is that parents behaviour will decide how well a child progression in life. Adult can make their own opportunities yet again with the help of a family network or a wealthy to wealthy network they will go further. The educational achievements of the vast majority of Tory MPs and ministers is testimony to this, just as does their public speaking.  They are from a different social class one which endeavours to increase the advantage of their kin whenever possible. It is an open secret. However, regardless of their class there is a unchallengeable truth, the majority of politicians, leaders and world leaders actually fail to impress with their intelligence and quiet often their personality.

In the UK an argument continues about education, Prime Minister Teresa May, who is unelected has decided to introduce two further changes to the education system. The re-introduction of grammar schools and the allowance of 100 per cent selection for faith based schools. Faith schools are based on selecting pupils who are of a particular faith, the notion is if both education and faith are intertwined they will be congruent with each other.  Of course this does not question whether their faith is a faith which should be used as a model of society. When considering the number of faiths there are in the world. A system based on this notion would ensure the homogeneity of a select part of society for a long time. When we are living in a secular society this is abhorrent. Secularism gives individuals the chance to change their faith a when it doesn't make sense. To move away from something they may not believe and don't want to be controlled by. A 100 per cent faith school will be 100 per cent control. Society will become even more segregated than it has ever been. A person going to a faith school may never know what the thoughts feelings and attitudes of someone from another different faith background. They will be susceptible to believe their faith is above the laws of society and not have to follow the same rules as everyone else. Ultimately society will become polarised, with separate groups defined by their faith, clothes and practices and seclude themselves from contact with those who are not the same. I can not think of a more destructive societal system. If a faith is strong it should not matter how it is challenged, for strength comes from challenge. If a faith is weak it will fail in the face of challenge. Importantly in an equal society all faiths are equal and so is the belief in non-faith (Atheist) logic and scientific.

Grammar schools were developed with the idea education attainment should be a guide to where a child progresses from the age of 11 onwards. If they pass their 11 plus exam they then have the automatic right to attend a grammar school. This is a school with a lot more resources than the normal state secondary school and fewer pupils per teacher. Grammar schools have high standards, not the standards of faith schools which are based on specific religious contexts but standards based on educational attainment with good teaching.

The 11 plus exam is made to weed out those children who do not have dedicated parents, who do not have indigenous links in society and a wider network to call on and those who are likely to be relegated to the lower echelons of society. More than this it is another stab into the self-esteem of children. Children who for a moment are noticed by parents who want them to do well, but at the same time think, well if I didn't pass it then I don't expect my child to pass it. This is self defeatism of the poor and the weak minded. Who perceive their world to be the downtrodden and it will always stay there. They are broken and in turn imbibe the same broken spirit in their children. Social movement cannot even be considered in their mindset. Their place is their place, full stop.

Secondary state schools are where the rest of society go, these are persons who are not considered elite and are not given additional help up the ladder. They don't stand on the shoulders of helping hands. The majority will go to secondary schools, but of course not all secondary schools are the same they to have a league table and the term 'secondary' is now being replaced with 'Academy' school. Meaning the head of the school will determine the pay levels of teachers and can seek to get private sponsorship to help the school. And just like 'secondary' schools Academy schools are not all equal. It seems equality or rather inequality is rife.

Here is a notion one which would even the field. Why not have just one type of secondary school, no private schools and no faith schools. Make it compulsory all children must attend one of these schools and illegal for full-time home based education. Those parents who want the best for their children can then either chose to engage with the school to bring up it's standard or engage private teachers out of the school system. In addition the school should be in a relatively close area, perhaps within a three mile maximum distance. Each of such school would have to be accountable, teachers would be accountable and students would be accountable, and lastly parents must be accountable. Society would integrate as different faiths are crossed at an early age and so are challenged. Those who want better for their children can become school governors and push for the school to improve. Governors can advocate for changes to systems in use, set standards, push for bad teachers to be sacked and lets face it we've all memories of bad teachers. Burnt out teachers who should never of been in the profession because they didn't have a love for it but needed the money and a job. Lastly eduction should be based on sound educational learning theory and psychological theory. Children love to learn when it is fun and there is encouragement for effort, not just for achievement. In the end it is passion for something which results in real results.

BREXIT the right choice

In the first few days of the referendum the UK has gone histrionic paranoid. The pound has dropped against the dollar and euro, shares have dropped and it is like a green card out is for the racists of the world to go and vent their opinion. Doing racist things, graffiti, hate language and prejudice. Yet, this is the surface which the media is quick to jump on. Showing the worst things of society sells papers and gets high news viewing figures. In the mean time listening to radio and TV the voice of EU immigrants who work in the UK are not just concerned about racism but also about their status, these are people who do hard work and contribute to society. They don't know whether they have to leave the UK and they look around in suspicion looking at British people in a different way. As thought hey have been betrayed. The situation is complete madness fuelled by those who react and don't think first. Even the renown Mr Junker wants to punish the UK and petulantly shows his disdain by publicly ensuring no EU top ranking officials will be allowed to have back room conversations with British representatives. Factually this is the kettle calling the pot black. Corporations already know the EU is the biggested lobbying place in the world. An example is the in secret disaster looming behind the doors of TTIP negotiations. There is madness and it is going to take a moment of high intensity candle burning before it wears out and calm descends. Be assured though calm and rational thought will arrive. Providing the news is not given too much weight especially the tabloids.

The stock-market roller coaster reaction is exactly what traders love. It makes quick millionaires and billionaires. They love it and like fanatic football fans jump for joy, it's the best thing in the world. Except of course if it is your particular shares happen to be the ones dropping like a stone, or your pension is affected because the pension fund manager is not quick enough off the mark. It is the little man who's affected not the rich man. And this point is true of the artificial recession which has been here for a decade ever since the banking disaster. Bought on by buying toxic American mortgages. In addition the recession is an result of exceedingly poor judgement from ruling political parties. A tory party who took on a coalition with power hungry Liberal Democrats who are now guaranteed never to have a political voice for at least another 70 years. This was the biggest mistake they have made in their entire political history. A mistake that ensured Tory power and ensured the further entrenchment of the UKs recession.

The fact is we do not know what the future holds, and am fed up with the pessimism of doom and catastrophe. The fact is the UK needs trading agreements it does not need covert ruling from an undemocratically nominated set of 5 presidents in the EU. We can have trading agreements with other countries, we can have agreements with the EU and it is in both the favour of the EU and the UK to continue trading. It is trade which builds bridges, it is trade which also brings peace. In weeks from now there may be calm.  If there is then this frenzied rage of stupidly raging will be seen for what it is just fear and scape-goating. The UK now needs a strong and decisive government, but one which listens to the people and doesn't follow the faction from which it comes. For it is a thing which affects all citizens not just the elite rich kids, we all have a say in this country and the result of this referendum is the voice of the people.

The UK will not be leaving the EU until article 50 has been engaged by the prime minister. Fortunately the current worst prime minister in history Cameron will no longer be here, the same should be fore Gideon Osborne who freely confessed he had no plan for the UK if it voted out. He was explicit and this is a man we can not tolerate in the cabinet, he must go. There is a way forward and it begins by having a calm head and looking at the facts. Gently moving, being diplomatic and fostering friendships, which should be on both sides of the house. We are still in a recession and the need is not just to raise us out of the recession but to raise the entire country to a equality

Phillip Green and the British Home Stores debacle

Well it seems Sir Phillip Green, likes to dodge the bullet by not answering questions and looking pretty pathetic. He sat there on his own, maybe looking a little vulernable, yet immediately behind him the first row of seats appeared to be occupied primarily by suited and booted men. I wondered whether these were part of Green's gang. They had not been called up, but they were there to witness and their presence to provide moral support. Indeed it might of been better had he a few additional supporters sat with him. Maybe there would of been some answers then. Or perhaps his wife should of been present, given she has her name inscribed on most documentation. And she is being paid £20 million every year from BHS, in something difficult to grasp, considering she has likely not stepped in a BHS store in her life. With another £108 million yet to be paid to her. Of course it doesn't take a genius to know his wife's involvement is only for tax dodging purposes.

The Commons Select Committee tried desperately to get answers from Green but he just held his hands up saying in terms a market trader would, accepting the buck but at the same time saying it wasn't me.  Deferring responsibly for as much as he possibly could. This behaviour was clearly contradictory. You could tell he was been rattled for he kept answering and ending with the word "right" as if to emphasise a point. Just like a drunk would do in the pub. He failed to answer what his responsibility or liability for the BHS pension scheme.  He knew a contribution had to be made but just didn't bother while the company was in his ownership. The little he would do was far too small and far too late.  Many times in answering questions Green tried to direct the committee to where he wanted them to go to give his point,  to say he'd done his best and repeatedly read from some papers the balance sheet of BHS. Green didn't know the answers or if he did was not going to admit to them.  Green's memory was conveniently failing him and when one MP said were they in a position of having to attend a committee they would of done their homework first. But Green was impervious to this preferring not to answer why. Yet he must of been watching every second of earlier select committee meetings because he referred to them.

One of the most astounding things was to learn the extent of the dividends BHS had paid out to share holders. So large it was no doubt a contributor to the downfall of the company. Oh yes he says he invested in BHS, but certainly not enough. You could conclude  to keep the business running profitably he was not doing enough with the possibility it was intentional. But who is to know what his intentions were, perhaps not even Green because his memory of events is worse than a third hand sieve at a car boot sale.

Does Green give a toss about the pensioners?  As Shakespeare said, this is the question, to be or not to be?  Why did he not be involved in this part of his business? Green was not going to answer this. He states there was an agreement where he would put additional monies into the pensions fund, it was like he had made an undocumented hand shake agreement.  He had deliberately delayed contributing to Project Thor, because it would of effected the business. Green had sold BHS to Dominic Chappel for the poultry sum of £1 but during the committee hearing Green talked as though he still owned BHS and he would still seek a solution to the pension crisis. If only he would be allowed a phone call. In persistent questions from an MP on the question of pensions Green pleaded with the chair such questions should not be asked because of his ongoing intention to do something. Like a small boy who was guilty of stealing biscuits before his dinner, Green again did his best to avoid any conclusion to the committee. Chappel expected BHS to be debt free and pension free, but of course from a previous committee session Chappel was clearly in the business just for himself and didn't give an iota while he to was taking millions out of the business.

Perhaps at the end of this Green might of done something concrete to help those employees in the BHS pension scheme, however given his history any solution would likely be meaningless. It is a sad state of affairs and you may conclude these business people have shown how negligence works  and how it is the innocent who are affected not the decision makers.

David Cameron and the red head prostitute

Cameron was desperate for sex, because his missus just had another headache. So he walks out of Downing Street looking for a prostitute.

On the corner of Soho he finds three prozzies: a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead.
 

To the blonde he said, "I am the Prime Minster, how much would it cost me to spend some time with you? The blonde replied, "Two hundred pounds."
 

To the brunette he posed the same question, and she replied, "One hundred pounds."
 

He then asked the redhead the same question.
 

The redhead replied, "Look Dave, if you can raise my skirt as high as my taxes..... get my knickers as low as my wages... get that thing of yours as hard as the times... keep it as high as the gas and electric prices... keep me warmer than my bedsit... and.. screw me in private the way you do in public, then believe me Dave, it ain't gonna cost you a penny.

Wow says Cameron "economic fiscal recovery is working in the hand of Osborne."

Politics of fear in the 2015 election

Sometimes the old sayings are the best ones, and one which comes to mind is "divide and conquer." The Tories over this campaign have divided and have conquered.  First was through the natural departure of their coalition partners coming up to the election. However, more than this they knew the most marginal and likely wins for the Tories was to target Lib Dem constituencies, it just made so much sense. After all it was the rising tide of Lib Dems snatching Tory constituencies which have them so much power in the first place. The conquering part came naturally and so they reduced the Lib Dem seats from 57 to 8. There is no doubt in my mind the blind-sided psychology of the Lib Dems is what put them in this position in the first place. They should never in a million years have got into bed with the Tories, their influence and power as a real third party came through the election of 2010 and in their own hubris they still thought they were different.  Yet together with the Tories they have ruled the country for 5 years and the electorate do not see the Lib Dems as different at all.  They were voted for in 2010 because their rhetoric was attractive and it had the sparkle of being something worth supporting, but by going into this coalition their uniqueness was lost. Their ideas, their morals which we all thought were common sense.  This move ultimately led to the incessant erosion of trust for the inevitable questions always is, why vote for Lib Dems when you are going to get a Tory government anyway? Talk about lost the plot how on earth can such a penny not drop? My guess is it was the allure of power and the self justification that by being in government they could put the breaks on the Tory administration.  What they failed to understand was, had they been out of government they would of still been able to put the breaks on a Tory administration, they could of kept to their principles and could have decided on bills on a vote by vote basis. Their unique attributes as a party would of shone through and they would of kept many more seats than the fifty they lost in the 2015 election.  Which reminds me of a film called Forest Gump and the line "stupid is as stupid does."

The question of Scotland again is a coup de gras against Labour and a divine example of divide and conquer. However, it added is the value of fear mongering. Historically the UK has always been four separate countries which were pulled together by internal war and strife.  England conquered Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland due to hunger and greed.  This was at a time when the population of the UK had very little say as democracy was less important then who your parents were and being royalty or aristocracy gave entitlements so the UK a fragmented land, pulled together and became a single country.  It seems with Scotland this was more of a default process after the demise of quick battle at Culloden in 1746.  The distaste of the English people has been a bad taste in the mouth of every Scot ever since this time.

Another advantage to the split up of the Scots from England is the belief they cost too much. The memory of revenues from North Sea oil is now in the distant past and that relates to a different era and a different Tory PM. Now we all know oil just is not going to last and it only has half a century left and the value of it has dropped through the basement tax revenues are certainly not so impressive.  It has been said, getting rid of Scotland would save England 7 billion pounds.  Whether this is true or not is of little consequence, for it is the vile attitude and an inbred racism towards them  Cameron stoked like an infectious disease. Tories don't like Scotland, don't like the Scots and anything to do with them because they are socialists and Labourites.  It was through Labour MPs in Scotland Tories had lost parliaments.  They know if you break a Scot in half like a stick of rock, you will see the words "socialist" inscribed through the core.  By losing Scotland effectively the Tories could be in power forever, they could build a nation build on their notion of business one where businesses profit but their social conscience is non existent.

A neighbour to hate is a little like the value of religion as an opiate to the people (Karl Marx), it is a scape goat as a neighbour to blame and hate is almost a natural human condition. Nigel Farage's UKIP party have used this principle to gain notice in the media and their diaspora of voters only gave them a single seat. The Tories used Scotland as a fulcrum to divide the labour party's power and simultaneously vilify the labour party and vilify the Scots.  The message was a vote for Labour would also be a vote for the SNP and condescendingly Cameron emphasised hatred because we all know what the Scots are like they want all of your money and to be free. You can't trust a Scot so you can't trust Milliband.  Cameron has a very juvenile way in talking to the public, why this comes on I am not sure but there is a blame game and their is division in everything he does. This is all a necessity to stay in power. He may think his party has the best policy for recovery but there is a pretty big failing he just doesn't understand.

Businesses make profit because it is the general public which supports them this is who buys their goods and services. If the population of the UK lives in poverty conditions they will not be able to buy those goods and services consequently profits and businesses will go under.   What happens is middle England becomes the goose, to serve middle England becomes everything for these are the people who have spare cash who can buy luxuries and services beyond the bare minimum.  It will take additional years for middle England to realise this and for their wealth to be equally hit. For the middle classes pay taxes and have reasonable incomes. But in a complex financial system which is like the oceans eco systems, when the poorer people of the UK are unable to make ends meet their income distribution in turn will not levitate upwards. Gradually Middle England will also become poor. Perhaps at this point socialism and Labourism will raise it's head and morality will kick in. The effects of another Tory government for another five years are going to be extremely toxic.

The Lib Dem patsys - useful idiots

The 2015 UK General Election has been a travesty result for Labour, a travesty result for Liberal Democrats another travesty result for UKIP and a wonderful landslide for SNP.  Unfortunately the Tories are still in government and now the country is going to be hit with the greatest number of welfare benefit cuts in living memory.  Child poverty will increase even more than it is at present and we shall see mass homelessness, increases in crime and destitution on the streets.  Not to mention how pensioners will feel when they are left suddenly realising their Tory vote has now put themselves in socially a vulnerable position.  So perhaps pensioners are the first set of patsys to take into account.  However, this is unlikely, for in my mind it is the Liberal Democrats who are the historical biggest losers ever. I had previously remarked how simple minded it was for the Liberal Democrats to be in a coalition, but Nick Clegg could not help it, perhaps it was a latent homosexual tendency which rose up when the though of political power and Cameron came to mind. They sealed their kiss in a rose garden at the back of 10 Downing Street for the world to see. It was a tragic civil ceremony and now the Lib Dems have got exactly what they deserve, their once historically high MP seat count has now plunged to the depths it used to be prior to 2010 and Nick Clegg made an exceedingly bad decision. He sold out from the start.

It is with a dose of happiness I can say and wave goodbye to the ignorant useful idiots of Vince Cable and Danny Alexander.  Vince because he should never of sold the Post Office at the monumental loss of between 5 and 8 billion GBPs.  He might of been doing this for the Tories but this was and incredibly bad decision to sell the country's jewels.  As for the sycophantic Danny Alexander it was only a few days ago he began to realise he may not have a job after the election. When he let lose inside knowledge of cabinet meeting discussions on welfare cuts.  Like he was not part of it, but he was because he now revealed it. I am so very happy Mr Alexander has lost his seat of Inverness because I cannot ever recall a politician who had succumbed to another party without actually being in that other party.  His ingratiation to the Tories was so servile and complete it can be recognised by the fact Georgie porgy Osborne said he would miss him.  Porgy as we know is an Eaton boy who has never really made friends with people, unless they happen to have a few million in their back pocket. Danny A will now be signing on the dole in a few days and probably he will learn something. But then again maybe not, his regret is now way too late. They couldn't help though following Clegg, who managed to keep his Sheffield Hallam constituency by a much smaller margin than he'd previously held.  I might of even said it was an honourable thing he did when he decided to resign as leader of the Lib Dems, but in fact it was not, because he should of simply retired and spent the rest of his time putting together jigsaw puzzles in a cosy room at home.

So it is the Lib Dems are winners of the useful idiot award for 2015. The electorate never wanted them to throw in their lot with the Tories, because it makes sense, if you want a Tory you might as well vote for one, why vote Lib Dem?  So the voters did.  What utter and complete saps.

Goodbye, bigoted, big, millionaire Tories who don't give a shit abou the tax payer

Over the next few weeks the media will be saturated with politics as all sides do their best to gain
votes.  Last night saw the one and only TV debate with Cameron, our now ex Prime Minster selling himself. Now some may question when I use the term "ex" well in fact Parliament has now dissolved.  All those  men and women (not representative) who sat in chambers and incessantly argued with each other officially have no power until the election is heard. However, and it is a big however, they still get full pay for the two months until the election has been re held.  I can't think of many jobs where the ex employee continues to get full pay when they are not doing any work.  In addition to this every part of the civil service, local and central are restricted in making statements which could be construed as political or sway the voting public this period is known as Purdah.


Regardless of the process in the run up to this next election, which is going to be a historic collection; it is during it and under pressure we see how the ex most powerful man in the UK reacts. We get to see his personality.   When under pressure applied in the form of cameras, audience and a looming election the stress of the situation may well show Cameron's cracks.  Patterns of Cameron's previous traits in his patronising attitude towards women, biting his lip, physical and facial tells of him holding in anger like a corked Vesuvius arise.  These are flaws in a individual who should not be allowed legally to have as much power as he had over the last five years.  He is like a child, if he didn't get his own way he would throw the rattle out of his pram.  However, something else which strikes is perhaps that Cameron is not the smartest man in the world for there seems to be an inability to put together the pieces.  Similarly Ian Duncan-Smith acts the same way when someone disagrees with him, when he is unable to tackle alternative view points or calmly rationally discuss them. The individual who keeps their head is the person we most look up to in any stressful situation. I don't view PM Questions as a particularly defining time because each leader has their gang behind them. A gang to heckle and grumble or cheer like good sycophants they are. Though saying this there have been odd occasions when Milliband did get under his collar, but not enough.

I've had angst over the devastating decision a love lorn Nick Clegg made to eat from the same table as the Tories.  When the two were put in office it was like two newly weds in the halo of happiness. 
It's true they were both happy to be there, but Nick sold his country and sold his party out when he jumped in bed with the Tories.  There were promises made in the Liberal Democrat's manifesto, pledges which amount to falsehoods. If a party doesn't stick to its manifesto which they are elected on then how can they be trusted? The people of Sheffield Hallam will make their view heard soon, if only the same students are about who accepted what Nick said on the last polling day, they will have a few memories and feel they have been betrayed. Clegg should never be allowed in the political arena again. Sheffield make  your vote be heard kick him in the bollocks.

Again when looking at Tory character failures, Osborne is yet another one who grinds incessantly on
the ordinary working class psyche. For there is not a time I have seen him on TV when I think here is a rich smug bastard who likes to boast and show off.  Here is someone who doesn't know what it is like to live in a world of poverty or who has ever experienced any aspect of it. There is also something of a rich kid nasty effeminate look about him.  You may have met or known the kind the bitchy man who comes across as bitchier than a woman could ever be.

In an interview which should of been with Osborne we saw Jeremy Paxman give a grilling to an unfortunate Chloe Smith.  After which
it was clear she would no longer have a political career.  She was very young, naive and ultimately took the fall for Osborne's U turn on fuel duty.  Yet it shows Osborne to be a weak coward for he should of been sat with Paxman not Smith.  Smith went on to get married and have a family, now well and truly forgotten except for her bumbling interview which has become the ultra political fail all can see on Youtube. She was like a little lamb who was put in a wolf's cage. Osborne would of cacked his breeks (as the Scots say) if her were there.

We can see how spoilt Osborne has aged with the weight of office.  Losing some of his porky appearance he even has a more gaunt face.  Perhaps (not) to do with his austerity plan, the plan which helps the rich become ever more wealthy and takes money away from the poor.  Well there are so few rich and so many poor. It's easy to see how Cameron and Osborne come from the same privileged backgrounds they might of shared the same shower at some time, Ossy would of been letting Camers flick a wet towel at his arse and probably liked it. Clearly these people have no empathy with anyone outside of their own class, therefore they should not be ruling anyone outside of their own class and certainly not the country.

It has been a constant drag since the Tories and Liberal Democrats got into office and the actual date of dissolution.  They managed to sell of one of the state's greatest remaining assets the Post Office. Typical of the nature of Tories when considering British Gas and British Telecom. As well as sell off the most successful profit making state ran business to date.  The East Coast Mainline railway service, which is now going to be ran by Richard Branson. Who as the West Coast travelling public will know likes to cram them in with restricted space and higher profits, not to mention hard uncomfortable seats and poor condition toilets.  Standing back as an observer the gradual decimation of the UK can be viewed. For it is the errors which are made that stand out most especially when at the time they are being made there is an outcry and good reason such initiatives should not happen.  Just as Tony Blair (Tory in red) brought in the Public Finance Initiative like a stone around the neck of a drowning victim. The PFI contracts for public organizations has meant they are continually overcharged by private contractors who they are tied to and can not break away from. Heard the story of the £10 toilet roll sold to a public nursing home? All because of a PFI contract.

If there ever was someone who would stab another in the back it has got to be Ian Duncan Smith.  His behaviour can be seen when he gets a grilling from the select committees. They have tried to make him accountable for the fiasco of Universal Credits.  Of which 400 million has been written off in ongoing IT costs. I saw Glenda Jackson ask IDS a question and it was disturbing to see how he talked over her and down at her.  It was outright bullying behaviour, poor Glenda was shaken.  Seems like he must of taken lessons in charm from the same school as Cameron.  Smith can often be seen lying, he debriefed his own department to push the blame of UC failures on Permanent Secretary  (to DWP) Robert Deveraux although a civil servant if there is one slippery character it certainly is Deveraux.  He is not allowed to make allegations or defend himself like a politician.  However after seeing his performance at a select committee his  unknown second name must be Mr Teflon, or to those in the know Teflon Man. However it is IDS who lies as the saying has now been changed to "lies, lies and damned IDS" the UK Statistics Authority will back this up. IDS is witnessed lying in nearly every interview, it may not be in what he directly says, although sometimes it is, it is in every nuance of his physical appearance. Body language, demeaning talk over, shifty expression. His claims of UC being a success are lies downright misleading lies. This is one welfare benefit if bought in the way the Tories want it to be brought in, will end up with masses of homelessness on the streets of the UK. Which will solve the problem for the rich who just want to buy up properties whenever they can. Especially the rich millionaires or corporations based overseas. It's such a shame the empty properties looking over the Thames Gateway are not lived in by real families.

The first past the post electoral system is unfair. We all know this, voting is not compulsory so those who do get voted in are a result of those who bother to turn up at the voting box and nothing else. There is a larger proportion of the population who do not vote than those who do, to an extent because of this politics in the UK fails. Each party now panders to the grey vote for they know this portion of voters do hit the voting boxes. They don't care much for advertising to the youth because the youth just can't be bothered. Politics is boring and politics is not on the  national curriculum yet another one of those very useful life things which should be compulsory.  If it were, then we might find the very irritating and unelectable didn't get elected as they did last time round.

Scotland isn't stupid you idiot

The Westminster idiots association got together today, to say how important it was for the UK union of Scotland and England to stay together. In a together forever notion which is like closing the gate after the horse has bolted. Cameron, Clegg (the-hanger-on) and to be Milliband hope by a last ditch effort of personal advertising the Scottish people will vote to keep the Union rather than vote yes to get out of the Union.  Their last ditch attempt and pulling back votes is by any standard a complete insult to the Scottish people and a humiliation to them as serious politicians.  The Tory party has completely lost the plot if they think they have any say in Scottish politics, because even a pre school child knows they don't.  Cameron visiting Scotland will do the opposite of what he intends to do.  Like a stick of rock from the sea side, every real Scot has the following words running through their soul "vote any party but Tory." After the many historical fiascos which have been tried out in Scotland first before being generalised to England there is a deep mistrust and even hatred towards English politicians.  Alex Salmond is probably rubbing his hands together and thanking this motley crew of Westminster idiots for playing their part. Oh yes there may well be a lot of English people living in Scotland, but if you are English and living in Scotland it wouldn't take too long to understand the Scottish mentality and the Scottish love of Scotland. In short, any true Scot hates England and what the English people have done to their country.  Unfortunately they do not differentiate between the politicians of Westminster and the English people. I have experienced it as an English man in Scotland, racism because I was English. If you are not known to them then you are judged on your accent and a tosser to say the least.

I also ask myself do the idiots think they will swing the undecided vote. For the undecided are so fickle they can be influenced by a politician who has not shown their head and commented in Scotland on a Scottish nationality issue since it became a reality. They would look on this dubiously, if you are undecided still and Cameron arrogantly says he will be heart broken, it really isn't going to hold any weight at all in the decision making process. It seems to me people like this didn't think it was important enough to help campaign in the last two years so what has got the wind up their skirts now? Oh yes, the fear of numbers being too close to call. The fear they will not hold as much power as they used to hold in  a couple of weeks time. For this sudden pang of conscientiousness is really nothing more than self preservation. Equally their appearance will be considered a swing to devolution so they should be very afraid, none of them has a right to stand anywhere in Scotland and think they have any power.

So it is with hand on heart I pledge allegiance to Scotland and if Scotland becomes independent I want to be the first nationalised Scottish person.  I don't want to bow down to the authority of Westminster or pledge my life to and forever life to the English Royal family. Who are in one view nothing more than upper class parasites free-loading on their historical heritage of once winning a few bloody battles. Their plinth of power is really nothing more than arbitrary rule, they are no more special than any other person and I will not genuflect for them or an imaginary super entity. This is also true of the Scots.

When looking back at the great British days of the so called Empire, when Britain ruled the world, what the world doesn't realise, it was not Britain which ruled it, rather it was the ruling upper classes which ruled the world. By subjugating their own citizens they were able to make them into anything they wanted and for a pittance of a pay. The ruling classes skimmed everything off the top. There they stand with creamy white upper lips and fat belly's smiling in contentment.  From this there is a lesson to be learned, it is simple.  Keep the down trodden workers, the lower classes as ignorant as possible, give them religion and a pat on the head like they were loyal dogs, but then kick the living shit out of them.  Every country in the world which has the stigma of colonial British power hanging around their necks doesn't understand this concept. They don't understand their bias and animosities towards the UK should be directed towards the ruling classes not the whole of the British society.  But alas when little Johnny ran off to join the army he was listening to a glorious song, he had no real understandings of what life was about, or how he could actually be a tool for someone else. He would then lose his life in a foreign land.  The queen certainly wouldn't weep for him but his family would.

It all comes down to knowledge and ignorance, and so the Westminster idiots today have shown their combined stupidity by heading up north. Personally if I were Scottish, which I hope to be one day, the taste of bile would be in my mouth. Long live the thistle!  Oh flower of Scotland...

The dsigrace of PMQs

In what should be one of the most revered establishments of democracy in the UK Prime Minster's Questions is farcical. As always the Prime Minister avoids answering questions and answers the one he wish they had asked.  The end of his response will be a jibe at the oppositions record, from which he would of had researchers delve into dubious statistics. Of course the use of reports and statistics is something both sides of the House use. However, they do not use the same sets and choose to use those which favour their own.  So what the public get is a skewed view, or not a lie but dubious truth of what the present state of the country is.  Maybe Mr Not-so-honourable Cameron does not like answering questions properly. If he were to do an exam paper at secondary school he would not get marks for answering a question he thought was asked but wasn't, he'd fail and never pass his exams. But he got where he is today, after going to a high profile University.  Therefore he must know how to answer a question, but he chooses not to answer the question.  He could be embarrassed by it, or the true answer would make him and his party look incompetent, or he just doesn't know the answer.  So it is a matter of avoidance and it is purposeful.  This can be seen when Cameron has nothing but a counter attack strategy to a question, as the saying goes "the best form of defence is offence." Which he certainly does advocate.

At PMQs MPs engage in what can only be seen as barbaric behaviour.  Every PMQ is as worse than supporters at a football match.  There is booing, jeering, shouting, screaming, the Speaker stands up and with a red and angry face points in one direction of the house and tells them "the question will be heard."  It is no wonder the online group called Mumsnet partitioned Berco about this behaviour.

What is needed is a set of rules, rules set out on the expected behaviour of all MPs at PMQ, expected behaviour on how questions should be answered, because they frankly never are, unless they happen to be benign.  However, politics is a cut throat game, and PMQs shows how bad it has become. It's only a pity both sides of the house are not working towards a strategy of government for everyone's advantage.  At the moment, it is only MPs themselves who are coming up on top, possibly because of their large pay cheques.
