Benefits Freeze

George Osborne has just laid out a line of benefit freezes, Labour and the left in general will be screaming at their TV's!

But they are angry at the wrong people, they should be angry at Labour.

Labour allowed any Tom, Dick and Harry to abuse the system, they didn't regulate the banks enough, bailed them out with our money, and overspent by starting a war on false pretences, and selling gold for it's lowest ever value.

If Labour actually controlled who could receive benefits, and how much, the banks, and didn't start a war on false pretences, maybe this Tory-led government wouldn't have to be taking such drastic measures.

And for those of you wondering if George Osborne for not repeating his line from four years ago, of getting rid of the deficit by 2015, which is now obviously an impossible task.

Osborne had no idea of the scale of damage Labour had really done to our economy, even Osborne was giving them a benefit of doubt, never again.

A great speech, by a great Chancellor.

UKIP Defectors, This Is For You

Douglas Carswell, and Mark Reckless I have a few questions for you.

1. What has UKIP politically achieved that can legitamise your defections?
2. What has UKIP achieved in the European Parliament that can legitamise your defections?
3. After the next years general election UKIP will only gain a few seats, what can they, and you, achieve with these seats to legitamise your defections?
4. How can UKIP make Britain a better place, and please do not answer with leaving the EU?

Those are my questions for defectors or those looking at defecting to UKIP, because to me, they are a one trick pony, lead by a man who the public dislike, and this is weirder than Ed Miliband, and that takes some doing.

The party hasn't achieved anything in the European Parliament, and if they have, it's been so insignificant that nobody has noticed.

So please answer these questions, just so I and others, can get a real good understanding of your defections.

MP's Vote For Airstrikes

Yesterday MP's voted for the UK to have six aircraft join in military action against ISIS, despite this, there are many who think there is a better way, but they haven't yet said what it is.

One Labour MP has quit because of the vote for military action, my question to those people is, what should we be doing?

Many of these who hold reservations against airstrikes are finding similarities with 2003 Iraq/ Afghanistan invasion, but here are a few differences:

• Firstly, government officials out in the Middle East have asked for our help in airstrikes, but have said they do not want ground troops, which we are not providing.
• Secondly, MP's have been informed of the status, and of course, have been given a right to vote for or against, unlike 2003.
• We, the UK, only have six aircraft taking part, we are a very small detail in this process to bring down ISIS

Now I have a questions for those who have reservations.

1. Should we not try to help the innocent women and children who are being buried alive?
2. Should we not try to help those who are being held captive?
3. How would you recommend that the Middle Eastern governments could control these extremists?
4. How, if not military action, could the West help?

ISIS are brainwashed thugs, and there's one thing you can't do with a brainwashed thug is negotiate. It's not a situation where we can try and have a diplomatic talk with these people.

One year ago I was completely against any intervention in Syria, I was also against our government helping out the rebels, but this is different, as ISIS threaten bring bloodshed to the West, should sit back and wait for them to act on their word?

Should we sit back and hope, if no publicity is given, that the cult will finally die out?

Hope gets you so far, and sitting back doing nothing gets you even less, we need to act now, and show them we are not a force to be reckoned with.

Good luck to those who will be going out there.

Ed Miliband's 2014 Conference Speech

Let's face it Ed Miliband's speech was rather boring, and depressing.

If you were watching abroad, you'd have wondered why immigrants fight to get over here so much, he made Britain sound like an open prison.

And things only got worse for Miliband, he forgot half his speech, perhaps parading around the stage trying look cool, and "in touch" isn't the best way to remember your lines, or look like a true statesman. 

Sadly for Ed, it was fairly obvious he'd forgotten a large part of it:

"One vote at a time. I said to her “how are you voting?” she said “I haven’t decided yet.”

Turned out her name was Josephine. She worked as a cleaner in the building."
Or my other favourite, particularly, slow moment:

"You know, the other day I was in the park. I was actually trying to work on my speech, believe it or not, and I wasn’t getting anywhere, so I went to the park and there were two young women who were in the park and they seemed excited to see me and they came over. "

We gathered you went to the park the first time you said it. So not only was it a boring speech, it was a patronising.

According to Ed, the Scot's are very undecided people, despite the NO campaign winning by a larger margin than anyone had polled or predicted.

Also that everybody, unless you're a millionaire, is extremely poor, living on the breadline, fir instance:

"Like a young woman called Xiomara who works in a pub near where I live.

She lives at the opposite end of the country from Josephine. She’s separated by at least a generation. But they share a common experience. Xiomara couldn’t afford to go to college. So she got a job in the pub kitchen nearby, washing dishes. She’s worked incredibly hard and she’s worked her way up to be one of the chefs.

But like for Josephine, life by Xiomara is incredibly tough. And by the way, she thinks politics is rubbish. And let’s not pretend we don’t hear that a lot on the doorstep. What does she see in politics? She sees drift. She doesn’t think we can solve her problems, now we’ve got to prove her wrong. And it’s not just that people like Xiomara and Josephine are struggling with the problems of today and millions of other people."

My favourite line "She thinks politics is rubbish." Yes Ed, she does, because leaders like you are giving the most boring, uninspiring speeches every written.

He then went all 'New Labour' on us, repeating his word of the moment three times: "Together, together, together." But unlike Blair's original repeat, it sounded like, ironically, the advert for a loan company.

He also went into stereotyping mode, apparently anyone who is supporter, or voter for the Tories are:

"gold mining, luxury hotel owning, Putin award winning, Russian oligarch, and you have got a £160,000 to spare to bid in an auction, you won’t be on your own; you will be on tennis court playing doubles, with David Cameron."
Why wasn't I told this earlier?! If only I knew I was a gold mining, luxury hotel owning, Putin award winning, Russian oligarch, who's got £160,000 to spare to bid in an auction, playing tennis doubles with David Cameron!!!

But my favourite of the whole speech was his, at least passionate, standing up bid:

"That’s why I stood up to Rupert Murdoch over phone hacking."

Is standing up to Rupert Murdoch being pictured with The Sun three times? No Ed, no it isn'tand by my reckoning, it was the last Labour government, which he was Energy Minister, that turned a blind eye to the phone hacking scandal.

"That’s why I stood up to the banks over bonuses. That’s why I stood up to the payday lenders over their exploitation of the poorest people in our country. That’s why I stood up to the energy companies over their profits and prices"

Can someone please tell me when he stood up banks, and when he says he stood up to the payday lenders, how? By stealing their slogan of 'together'? His claim of standing up to the energy companies is laughable, as when he was energy minister, prices rocketed, because of his green levy tax, and most recently they rocketed when he 'promised' to cap prices, so thanks Ed, for standing up to these people……

So all in all for me, Ed's speech was funny, for all the wrong reasons, boring, predictable, and patronising.

Labour Will Lose The Next Year

Ed Miliband is finished, he is in so many difficult situations that aren't disappearing, such as:


1. Rotherham, recently came to light that over 1,400 children had been sexually groomed from 1997 until 2013.

Turns out Rotherham council turned a blind eye towards the abused children as the abusers were from ethnic minority backgrounds, and didn't want to be seen as being racist, ahhhh....

(Here is an independent inquiry into the Rotherham abuse http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/downloads/file/1407/independent_inquiry_cse_in_rotherham )

2. New Labour, people haven't forgotten the economic mess the last government plunged us into, in fact, as much as Ed Miliband tries to distance himself, New Labour is lurking in the background, waiting to make another appearance.

3. English Votes for English Laws, is a no go area for Labour, especially as England is predominantly a centre-right country. Of course they will oppose this.

4. EU referendum, people aren't happy with how the EU are treating us here in Britain, and we want a say, however Ed Miliband is acting deaf and dumb, and our calls for a say in the way our country is being treated is falling on deaf ears, only David Cameron is offering us a say.

In fact, Labour were offered to set a quota in the first seven years of the EU, but decided against it as they thought only 20,000 immigrants would be coming over, how naive.

5. Benefit fraud was hug under the last Labour government, over £1 billion was lost due to fraud. However, you ask any person who considers themselves left of centre, and this lost money is no big deal, I'm not sure the families who genuinely need their benefits would feel the same.

6. Overspending, a dogma that has followed Labour since the very beginning, Watching Labour spend, is like watching a 16 year old girl being given a credit card to spend, then looking shocked when it's been blocked, and now needs paying off.

If Labour want to prove they truly are the "people's party", and that they've learnt lessons from the past, get a back bone and give us a say in what happens to our country, and stop spending so much, when have you ever heard of someone becoming rich through overspending?

A Few Questions For Alex Salmond

I have a few questions for Mr Salmond, if the Scottish people vote for independence.

Westminster subsidises roughly £10 billion a year to Scotland, so my first question is:

1. How will Scotland manage make that much revenue?

Yes Scotland have the North Sea Oil, but you can't rely on just one industry, so my second question is:

     2.  What other industries will Scotland invest in?

With the generous subsidy from Westminster gone, which allows Scottish students go to university for free, my third question is:

     3.  Will Scotland have to introduce the tuition fee?

So, for all you Scots who are going to vote very soon, please ask yourselves these questions, as they will make a great impact on your life, should you vote for independence.
