Fair Right Insurgence: Blame The Left

For too long the left have been silencing people with small problems regarding immigration, or even religion.

Instead of answering questions, and listening to people's concerns, the left called them racists, ignorant, and right wing.

Some of these people were not left wing, for instance when in 2010 on the run up to the election, Gordon Brown, then Prime Minister and Labour leader, was asked by pensioner Gillian Duffy about immigration coming from Europe.

He didn't answer but instead tried to smile for the cameras, obviously forgetting he still had his mic on, he was overheard calling her a "Bigoted woman."

For too long the "third way" politics ignored people's small concerns, and I have been saying this for a while, this ignorance of the left has turned people's small issues into hatred.

The left have only got themselves to blame, because they were being the ignorant ones.

Many in Labour have turned to UKIP, who are now a real threat to Labour safe seats.

This "third way" politics was all about image, about looking cool, trying to befriend the coolest celebrity at the time.

Blair with Noel Gallagher, Bill Clinton and his saxophone, Ed Miliband and Lily Allen, Barack Obama and his voice, Hilary Clinton and doing the "Mannequin Challenge" with Jon Bon Jovi.

They weren't talking about issues, they weren't listening to problems people had.

Now in the UK we have UKIP as a real threat, and the USA has just elected the dumbest, misogynistic, homophobic President ever.

The left only have themselves to blame.

The irony is, the left is meant to champion the people and any issues they may have, instead for decades they've been silencing and ignoring, which is plain ignorance and arrogance.

Is Diane Abbott The Best Labour Has?

Every time there's a chance for Labour to explain itself on an issue, such as Brexit, they send out poor old Diane Abbott.

If she's the best they've got, then Labour are well and truly stuffed, and they've done it all themselves.

Since the Iraq war, and their failure to prevent or soften the blow of the 2008 financial crash, Labour lost a lot of confidence from the public.

Then when Ed Miliband refused to give us an opinion on whether we should leave or stay within the EU, that again lost Labour any trust with the public, especially as Labour are meant to be the champions of the people, yet here they were not trusting the people.

Now they have a leader who is nowhere to be seen, and who we have no idea if he really backed remain, or if he secretly wanted Brexit (which is something he had been campaigning for year before he became leader).

Jeremy Corbyn for some reason has put all his trust into Diane Abbott, and I am not sure why.

Firstly she is incapable of answering a question, she sometimes comes across as though she hasn't even understood the question, which is perhaps why she can't answer them.

Then again what choices does he have, every time he goes to speak someone either interrupts him, protests his speeches, or he gets angry at the person asking the questions.

He can't ask his left hand man John McDonnell because not a lot of people like, or possibly even know who he is.

Then there's Emily Thornberry who accuses people of misogyny when she can't answer a question.

But there is one light at the end of the tunnel, Clive Lewis, who seems intelligent enough not to accuse people of anything if he can't answer, down to earth, and quite likeable, yet he hardly gets any airtime.

Good for Tories, bad for Labour, perhaps Jeremy seems him as a threat, therefore he doesn't want him to get the airtime so people don't turn against him, and want Mr Lewis in his place.

Either way Labour is on a slippery slope to death, it's killing itself in a very public way, and giving the Liberal Democrats the way forward to take over Labour.

Momentum Being Infiltrated? Who'd Have Thunk It?!

Don't say we didn't tell you, but the Momentum delegates, members and sympathisers are beginning to realise that it's not all that it is cracked up to be.

Ever since Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader, people have been warning of small groups trying to infiltrate Labour in one way or another.

Yesterday a few Guardian articles, and blogs have appeared, here's Laura Catriona Murray talking about her worry of small groups trying to get what they want, this blog was shared by Owen Jones on his Facebook:

The thing is people have been warning Labour since September last year that this was happening, and over and over again the only response was "there's only a small number of them, no need to worry."

It only takes one person, as Corbyn has proved, to make a difference, let alone many small groups of people.

The left have taken these people's ambition to get what they want with a pinch of salt, rather like the "moderate" Labour MP's who backed Corbyn so he could stand in the 2015 Labour leadership election.

The Liberal Democrats took their "third position" for granted in 2010 when they promised the world, then when they were in a position to be able to act on their promises, they failed.

The Tories took their 18 years in office for granted, some thought getting rid of Thatcher would get the public on side, six years later Blair won with a landslide majority.

Labour is killing itself, how? Because it's burying it's head in the sand, Corbyn is nowhere to be seen, and Theresa May keeps blocking their attempts to block the government.

The SNP are a better opposition than Corbyn, and that's not saying much about the SNP either, as the weeks go on, the more confident May becomes, the more silent Corbyn becomes.

Will Labour be here after 2020? Not if they carry on in the way the are today, out of sight, out of mind, people will forget they exist if Corbyn doesn't start to act soon.

What A Week (Almost)

It's only Wednesday and already so much has happened with the world of politics.

At the beginning of the week, left wing dictator of Cuba, Fidel Castro, died at the age of 90.

The "grief" that the left declared for the now dead dictator was, well to be honest, boringly predictable.

Firstly, Fidel Castro was a dictator who overthrew a dictator, Fulgencio Batista (who actually had was elected as a Democratic Socialist but don't let the left know that).

So here's Castro's wonderful socialist legacy laid bare:

1. You (Cuban's) can't travel/ leave Cuba without the governments approval
2. Move houses without government permission
3. Change your job without the government's approval
4. Have access to internet
5. All TV stations, and radio stations are owned by the government
6. All books, newspapers, magazines etc are owned by the government
7. Not allowed to own a business of your own (unless approved by the government)
8. There is only one union, which is owned by the government (no strikes, no bargaining, no protests)
9. There is only one political party, which is the Cuban Communist Party, which of course of was led      by Castro, and now his brother Raul Castro (who also has never been elected)
10. You're not allowed to criticise Castro or the regime
11. If you were found to be gay you were killed or imprisoned (then again Castro's friends in the Soviet Union didn't like homosexuals either blaming being gay on capitalism.)

Basically any freedoms you had before Castro were totally eradicated, even breathing I'm sure they see as right they can take away from the Cuban people.

That's not been the only thing to happen this week, at last it looks like UKIP have a leader who will stick around a little longer than 18 days, Paul Nuttall.

Paul Nuttall said in his victory speech that he will be targeting Labour strong hold seats, clever move as Brexit won in working class Labour strong hold areas.

We all know Labour's thoughts on immigration, it's fine as it is, despite the fact that we have a huge housing shortage for the people already here let alone the ones who want to come here.

Now I am no fan of Nuttall, I think he's quite vile, again his feeling towards the LGBT community is rather backwards, as well as his thoughts towards immigrants.

However he must have hit a nerve because a day after his victory Owen Jones, a huge Corbyn fan, has already made a video saying how unpatriotic Nuttall is.

Why has Owen Jones been rattled? Because his mate, and leader of the Labour Party, can't be seen anywhere, well except once a week on PMQ's.

Where has Corbyn gone? What is he doing? Has he forgotten he's the leader of the opposition? Is he on holiday?

If Labour continue their deafening silence UKIP will win, and the only person to blame will be Corbyn himself.

Want To Know Why Trump Won?

It's simple.

He didn't try and be cool by doing the "mannequin" challenge, he didn't have celebrity endorsements, he didn't speak the political jargon, and he said a lot things that ordinary American's felt.

He isn't part of a political dynasty, such as the Clinton's/ Obama's or even the Kennedy's.

When it comes to voting people don't care what singers, actors, novelists, news anchors, or anyone who just happens to be famous thinks.

They don't care if the candidate has celebrity friends, they don't care if you want be called "Dave" or "Tony".

They don't care if you like popular music, or can play an instrument, or are a good singer.

People don't want a "cool" President, or even Prime Minister.

They want someone who will get on the job, who doesn't care for opinion polls because they're too busy leading the country.

By no means am I saying that Donald Trump will be the most pragmatic leader, but he isn't cool, he isn't worried about how he looks (if he was he'd do something about his hair!), and he will make decisions without worrying about people's feelings.

Why I Don't Regret #Brexit

I don't regret voting to leave, and here's why.

Yes the pound has fallen, it'll get back up, we all know it, the EU knows it, and so do companies.

However, we are now out of the most undemocratic "union" that has ever existed.

How is it logical, or fair that we could veto the decision of one the countries, despite the will of it's people?

How is it logical or fair that there is no face to the EU? For instance immigration was obviously a big problem in for some in Britain.

Did they listen to our concerns? No. Did they offer us anything that remotely gave into our concerns? No.

What did we do? We voted to leave. Why? Because the EU couldn't careless about what Joe Blogs thinks or feels, or even cares for.

Our MP's wanted us to stay because it meant once their time in Westminster was over, they could have a nice cushty job in the EU, with a better salary, and possibly, if it's even possible, more benefits to them.

What exactly were we voting for when we voted for our MEPs? I'm not sure, I don't know what their uses were other than the odd jibe from people like UKIP's Nigel Farage.

What do MEPs do? What is their purpose?

To me they looked like a bunch of money wasters, and I blame the EU for that.

Parties, such as UKIP, who hardly turned up to the European Parliament, received shed loads of money for having that many MEPs.

I don't regret Boris Johnson making an arse of himself, by pretending he wanted a Brexit situation, when we all know he wanted, and expected, was for us to remain.

I don't regret Micahel Gove not getting anywhere the Tory leadership.

I don't regret making our politicians, who we have voted for, 100% responsible for absolutely everything that happens in our country, once again.

I like knowing it's Theresa May who will either be to blame, or to applaud for out exit of the EU.

Not some faceless "union" that doesn't listen to its members.

We Need The #Heathrow Expansion

There are a few myths regarding the Heathrow expansion.

Firstly that the north of the country won't feel the benefits from it expanding, this is a lie.

I work for a small firm who's main contract is with Heathrow, 24% of the companies we deal with on daily basis have the HQ's north of the Watford Gap, including some companies based in Scotland.

Telford, Sheffield, Newcastle, Worcester, Glasgow, Darlington, Stone, Warrington, Keighly, Renfrewshire, Derby are to name but a few areas of the country that get business through Heathrow expanding.

Not only will the north of the country, and Scotland benefit for a third runway, but the south too.

Exeter, Swindon, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Middlesex, Essex are to name but a few other areas that will feel the benefits.

These are areas the company I work for deal with, and we are a small company, imagine all the other areas of the country that will benefit.

Jobs will be made, houses will be built, investments will be made.

Also the expense of expanding Heathrow isn't as high as some other ideas, £18.6 billion, which if we add another £10 billion for mistakes (it's Britain, there will be mistakes, setbacks etc) whic tallies it up to £28.6 billion.

Boris Island, the most ludicrous idea ever thought up, could have cost us £100 billion!

HS2 is costing £30 billion, again add on another £10 billion for mistakes, makes it £40 billion.

Heathrow expansion is by far the cheapest, easiest, and most beneficial for the whole country.

Clinton or Trump? Neither!

I have to be honest, I am ashamed at USA right now, out of the 318.9 million people it's Hilary Clinton vs Donald Trump who are running against each other to become the next President of the USA, the most power country in the world.

Here we have two people who are beyond corrupt.

Clinton is clever, which in one way makes her, in my opinion, more dangerous than Trump.

That's not only what bothers me about her, she's getting away with someone she would persecute another over.

Her emails got leaked out because she, cleverly, used her family's private email server instead of the secure and official State Department emails, and because of this clever move, her emails were leaked, which she has denied has happened......

What was leaked? "We must destroy Syria for Israel"

Edward Snowden, a man I am not a fan of, leaked vital information, now they want to persecute him, and knowing the USA, possibly execute him.

Because of her last name she can run for President, because of his last name Snowden runs for safety..... fair? Not exactly.

Then there's Trump, a racist, homophobic, sexist pillock, who is rich thanks to his grand father, and father.

He's friend's with Vladimir Putin, which would be a good thing if Trump wasn't as thick, and Putin, should Trump win, would take advantage of.

He see women as a play thing for his own amusement, a bit like Hilary's husband.

Then there's his daft ideas to build walls to keep people out, and have them pay for this wall.

I haven't really listened to the debates between these two because they are the two sides of corruption.

One thick, the other smart, and I can't decide which one is the less evil of the two.... can you?

Child Refugees

Should child refugees from the Calais jungle be helped? Absolutely!

Should we, Britain, be taking them in, in order to give children safety and security? Of course!

However some of these children who have been accepted, some of them don't look like children.

Now it may be the case, like in mine, where they look older than their years.

If they are children, and they have come from war torn Syria, then yes the travelling and the worrying will have aged some of them.

However, if it turns out that we have accepted adults posing as children, then what about the real children who are being left behind?

What about the children who literally are just that, children of 8 or 10, living on their own, or trying to look after younger siblings/ family members, and are stuck in the Calais jungle because of fraudsters?

When people were talking about bringing over child refugees, I honestly thought I was going to be seeing babies through to 10/14 year olds, not teenagers/ men.

Again, I will re-iterate that these teenagers might be 14 years old, but the circumstances in which they have found themselves has aged them.

Child refugees needing help I am all for helping, adult men posing as such....... sickens me, I hope I am wrong.

There'll Never Be Unity If Corbyn Stays Silent On Jackie Walker

Jeremy Corbyn called for unity within the Labour party from all divisions.

From the old relics of the New Labour era, to the new Labour supporters who've since joined to make sure Corbyn was re-elected as leader.

It'll never, ever happen, and here's why.

Quite rightly Jeremy Corbyn called all forms of anti-Semitism "evil". Absolutely correct.

Yet, a day before his big speech, the vice chairman of Momentum, the pro-Corbyn think tank, had this to say about the Holocaust day:

"In terms of Holocaust day, wouldn't it be wonderful if Holocaust day was open to all peoples who experienced the Holocaust."

To which the audience shout back at her "it is." But this wasn't a good enough answer and so she carried on:

"Well actually in practice, it's not actually advocated and circulated"

Again the audience tell her "it is." Again this isn't good enough and she carried on.

Not only did she spout anti-Semitic views at the Labour conference, she continued to on social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook:

The Labour's party's silence after such a speech from Corbyn is deafening, why? Well a few days before the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, had this to say of Jackie Walker.

Not only that a few months ago when Jackie Walker was originally suspended for her anti-Semitic views, Owen Jones, the Guardian columnist, actually campaigned for her suspension to be stopped, that the accusation of her being anti-Semitic was "ludicrous".

Nor Jeremy Corbyn, or his Shadow Chancellor have said anything on Jackie Walker's disgusting comments, and their silence is deafening.

It proves that he was just saying words, that has not intension of acting on them, that he doesn't really want unity, he just wants people who agree with him, Jackie Walker, a close personal friend of Mr Corbyn's, definitely agrees with him, and he with her.

Unity in Labour? Yeah right!

Let's Set The Record Straight

Immigration is a key issue today.

Labour's leader Jeremy Corbyn, has said he won't put any controls on the amount of immigrants entering Britain, despite the fact that we've just voted to leave the EU, with one of the main reasons being high uncontrolled levels of immigration.

Good to see you're listening Jez!

Anyway, there seems to be a myth, or an attempt by the left to put words in people's mouths.

For instance, a lot of them say we're angry at the actual immigrants entering our country.

We're not, we're angry at the government, whether it be the last Labour govt, or the Cameron led Tory govt, but for me my anger is especially directed at Labour.

Labour opened our borders to anyone and everyone, with no set limits.

Labour sent out "search parties" for more and more immigrants to come work and live here.

Labour failed to build the required infrastructure to accommodate these people, from housing, to schools, and hospitals, they didn't build enough.

Labour failed to make sure our economy was stable enough to keep on taking in the levels of immigration that we were receiving by ignoring leading economics about the 2008 crash, and carried on spending, and borrowing.

So no, I am not angry at an asylum seeker who's just come from the war torn Middle East.

Neither am I angry at someone who just wants a better life, which is something we should be able to offer.

I am angry at the uncontrolled levels of immigration, the uncontrolled borders of who may be entering or leaving our country.

I am angry that our governments would rather please everyone else, but not the people who voted for them.

I am angry that both Labour and the Tories seem to want to stick their fingers in their ears, automatically call us racists, and assume we're xenophobic because it suits their cause far better, than to listen to us, their employers.

I am angry that the left assume they know the reasons of our concerns without actually asking.

Please stop assuming and start listening, otherwise you'll anger a lot of people which is a dangerous emotion to be ignoring.

Labour Will Never Heal Itself Under Corbyn

Labour is weirdly parodying the sinking of the luxury cruise liner theTitanic.

When Corbyn first stood to become the new Labour leader, after Ed Miliband's pathetic General Election result last year, it was almost like the looks out's seeing the ice-berg too late.

When support for Corbyn grew, it was the Titanic taking far to long to turn to avoid the impending collision.

When Corbyn won, that's when disaster struck, and the Titanic and the iceberg scrapped along side each other.

Since then Labour's sinking is taking far longer than it did for the Titanic to go down, but the motions are still the same.

Currently Labour is at this stage of sinking:

This split in Labour is now far too deep to ever mend, what's been said and done on both sides of the argument are far too personal and nasty to ever stick back together, it's far to late to stick a nicely pictured plaster to heal the rift.

Corbyn doesn't really care though, he'd be glad to see the back of the "moderate" MP's such as Owen Smith, and Angela Eagle, or even Jess Philips.

But what he doesn't realise is that despite the split, as a whole Titanic sank to the bottom of the ocean taking it's captain with it, for treasure hunters, and historians to gaze at every now and then through the darkness.

Labour is heading for the same horrible, but unmissable fate.

Anyone within range, or still on board will go down, naturally, they'll end up landing in different places but as a whole, Labour will sink, and become a tragic story of the past.

How has Labour got to this disastrous stage? Well, it's not all on Corbyn's lack of response to his own ex Shadow Cabinet members.

Before Angela Eagle resigned she had apparently called, emailed and texted the leader, but had had no response at all, she was only his Shadow Foreign Secretary.

His leadership as a whole has been pretty calamitous, his first PLP meeting was, according to one MP, a "fucking shambles."

Losing the vote on Airstrikes over Syria where 60 Labour MPs' voted with the government.

McDonnell's "Mao's little red book" gag......

Anti-semitism within the party, and his failure to deal with it.

The failed campaign to remain in the EU (admittedly not as much of a failure as Cameron's campaign).

These are to name but a few of his own failings, yet of course, he and his supporters will blame the world before they take any responsibility.

Corbyn's First Year

Jeremy Corbyn's first year as Labour leader has been......... fascinating to say the least.

Let's start from the beginning, the Labour leadership bid, it was a given thing that another Blairite/ Brownite/ Milibandite/ a mix of a three New Labour type leader would win.

Then Jeremy Corbyn entered the race.

Oh how he stole the "moderates" limelight.

What the New Labour politicians seems to forget is, to my generation, they're old news, we've lived it, received it's education, listened to their drivel.

Then there was Corbyn, a man we hadn't really heard of, a man who's politics my generation aren't used to at all.

He was unshaven, he was sow at answering questions, he didn't speak the political jargon, he smiled, he looked human.

Here is his first interview with supporter Owen Jones. Look how calm and relaxed he is, despite the fact he had just completed his morning run.

In fact when he was on the radio having a good deabte with his fellow leadership bidders, he was the calmest.

Perhaps because, despite what the polls were saying, he thought there wasn't a hope in hell he would win.

Well, he did win, and it's been a rather turbulent 12 months, let's go through his successes and failures so far as leader.

1. He won with a landsliding majority to become the new Labour leader.

2. He failed to get a woman into one the "top five" shadow cabinet roles, all of them went to men.

3. His past came back to bit him: e.g his close association with ex IRA leader Gerry Adams, calling terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah "friends" and inviting them for chats at the Houses of Parliament.

4. Upsetting his MPs in his first PLP meeting as Labour leader, this ended up with one MP telling journalists the meeting was a "complete f***ing shambles", another said it was a "joke" whilst one female MP told Diane Abbott to "f**k off".

5. Losing the vote on whether or not we should airstrike Syria...... Ed Miliband won his.

6. His Shadow Chancellor, and good friend, John McDonnell's gag of "Chairman Mao's little red book" didn't exactly go well, in fact it was a bit of a lead balloon.

7. The EU referendum didn't exactly go to plan for anyone, David Cameron ended up resigning, and has today resigned as an MP, but for Jeremy Corbyn it was just the tip of the iceberg.

8. Resignation after resignation, Jeremy faced over 40 resignations from his shadow cabinet/ ministerial team, not exactly a good look.

9. After the resignations, Jeremy faced a vote of no confidence  from 172 of his MPs, bearing in mind Labour only have 232, that's a huge majority against him, only 40 voted with confidence.

10. Leadership bid against Jeremy Corbyn was launched firstly by Angela Eagle, who was quickly out of the running, but Owen Smith soon followed suit and is currently running against Jeremy to become new Labour leader.

11. Anti-Semitism has plagued the Labour leader ever since Ken Livingstone was elected to the NEC. For some reason Livingstone can't help himself but mention Hitler's name whenever he's interviewed on TV or radio. Secondly, the press release for the inquest into anti-semitism within Labour had a Jewish Labour MP leave in tears.

Sadly the only upside I can point out was his landslide win last year, and I am sure he will get that again later this month.

Other than that, he has had more failures in one year, than what most have in five, and who's to blame? Quite obviously, and self evidently, it's Jeremy himself, or his team around him.

Who can sort this out? Jeremy himself, and his team around him, so come on Labour, sort yourselves out, and give us a genuine opposition.

My Friend Claire

Dear Claire,

10 years ago today you died. 10 years ago!!

I can still remember that Thursday, a couple of hours before you passed, coming to see you like it was yesterday.

Even though it was obvious you were dying, you were all skin and bone, yet it still came to me as a shock that you died..... then again I've never been that quick have I?

Do you remember the time when, after suffering 3 different bouts of cancer in your left lung, the doctors removed it? Do you remember me coming with your parents to visit you? Do you remember what you were doing, 12 hours after surgery? Tripping other kids up with your drip!!!

You were such a nutter!

Do you remember when me and you downed a bottle of vodka before that particular operation, and you threw up in my kitchen?

Do you remember that helicopter ride?

Do you remember us all getting you into trouble at school so that the teachers treated you like they did us..... with contempt!

Do you remember fake crying at WGS because one teacher wouldn't let you go two minutes early, even the "it" girls stood up for you!

Anyway enough of the past, I thought I would bring you up to date with what's been going on!

Well some of the crew are mother's and or father's! Can you believe, some of our lot have made people!! Amazing I know!

Others have worked since we left school, whilst others went to uni.

Some of us are aunties or uncles, it's great because you can hand them back.

I did a sky dive for Helen and Douglas House five years after you passed. They treated you and your family so well I couldn't not do something for them.

Others have tattoos in memory of you, so you are literally a part of them.

You'd be turning 27 in two weeks time..... 27!!! How quick has it gone from childhood to adulthood? Too quick!

Anyway I'm going to let you go, as I am sure you're busy stalking Eminem, I'll be at your grave with a few of us later.

See you soon

Tax On Small Businesses

Jeremy Corbyn, a man who really would like be seen as a Robin Hood figure, stealing from the rich to feed the poor.

However, after he has proposed to tax further on small businesses should he win the next Labour Leadership and General Election, he's just done the exact opposite.

Instead of going after the big guns like Amazon, Google, Starbucks, Vodafone, and others, he decided to go after the little guy.

I work for a small company, we will fail if taxes are raised, over 30 people will become unemployed, and possibly the bosses will go into bankruptcy.

But that's what Corbyn wants, because then we're relying on the state for handouts, he controls us, it's a nice step forward to state control.

Corbyn doesn't like entrepreneurs, he doesn't like people who want to fend for themselves without having to rely on others, he doesn't like individualism.

Sadly for him, too many people will have something to lose, he will never win the 2020 general election, what he will do is go down in history as the man who split the Labour Party.

Unlike what he wants us to believe, he's not a unifier, he is divisive, damaging, power hungry man who doesn't care who gets hurt along the way.

What The F*ck Is Happening?

Inequality is not a word I like to use, especially in 21st Century.

Today Andrea Leadsome has said she was against gay marriage because it "hurt Christians."

Speaking as a Christian, it hasn't hurt me, in fact, I doubt that God would would be that upset either.

Firstly, there are bigger problems than two people of the same sex getting married going on the world.

One of them being racism, and in America, racism against black people is rife, and it's angering me beyond belief.

Now I am not one for going along with a hashtag, but #BlackLivesMatter is something people around the world should take notice of, especially when it comes to the treatment of black people in the USA.

In two days US cops have gunned down and killed two black men, for no apparent reason, and their horrific deaths have been filmed.

Firstly Alton Stirling, who was shot and killed for what looks like nothing. I have watched the video of his death, there was no need for the gun to be pulled, let alone for the police officer to pull the trigger at point blank range.

Now Philando Castile. A man who was shot by other police officers whilst his girlfriend sat next him, and she filmed the whole thing.

What was he shot for? Again, nothing.

Last year we saw the deaths of Sandra Bland, who was pulled over for a minor traffic offence, the police officer pulled a gun on her, and took her in to be questioned, not sure why as wasn't acting defensively, not until she had a gun in her face at least.

Sandra Bland, according to the official reports, "committed suicide", a strong headed, seemingly rather wise lady killed herself in custody.... doesn't add up to me.

Then there was Walter Scott, who was pulled over because his brake light wasn't working, the police officer shot him five times fatally, Scott was unarmed, and only 50 years old.

Eric Garner, 43 years old, who may or may not have been selling cigarettes illegally, was strangled to death, in the video you can hear him say "I can't breathe", the police officer choked Garner until he died, what for? Again, nothing.

Freddie Gray, who's death sparked the Baltimore riots last year, was 25 year old, who died in police custody, he was initially arrested for illegally carrying a switchblade.

Now by all means, arrest him, but why is he now dead? He was apparently, this is eye witness testiments, beaten with "batons" and his leg pulled backwards as well as one officer kneeling on Gray's neck with his knee.

Michael Brown was only 18 when a police officer shot and killed him. Seven shots. All to do with petty theft.

These sorts of things I believe God would take an issue, with, not two people in love saying I do.

The level of inequality I see growing again bothers me, especially with the rise of politicians like Donald Trump who is an out and open racist, and proud of it.

Why I Am Backing May

I like Theresa May, and here's why:

Firstly she managed to deport Abu Qatada, an extremist Islamist hate preacher, who Labour would have kept.

She didn't deport Gary McKinnon, an autistic hacker, who Labour would have deported to the USA, only to see him commit suicide.

For those saying she has failed on immigration figures, anyone would, the last Labour government set everyone else up for fools.

They were given seven years by the EU to set a quota on how many EU migrants the UK would except, they didn't set any, so when immigrants from Arabic or Asian countries come over, and get the EU membership at France, Romania, Germany, Belgium, of course we had/ have to accept them.

So anyone who would have won in the 2010 general election would have been set up for a fool.

She didn't allow the use of water cannons, and lets be honest, in Britain majority of protests, strikes that take place are pretty peaceful, very rare nowadays do we see violence, because the people using these protests as ways of letting the government know we are angry, don't want to be branded as vandals.

She stopped two extreme American Islamaphobes from entering the UK in 2013 saying that they would not be "conductive to the public good."

She has been a brilliant Home Secretary, she has more balls than all the men in the front Tory bench put together, and she is a woman of principal.

One more thing, I don't care how she voted in the referendum, I don't care if she changed her mind along the way, all I care about is the person best fit for the job, and in my opinion, Theresa May is the best.

She's tough but fair, open yet stubborn, this is something we need right now.

Battle Of The Somme

In 2013 during Help for Heroes Big Battlefield Bike Ride we went to Thiepval where they have all the names of the soldiers who died at during the Battle of the Somme.

Hundreds of thousands of names, all etched in the walls, all these graves surrounding the area, all the pain, bloodshed, and death 100 years previous.

It hits you hard.

Every memorial we stopped at, an ex-soldier said something, these words for some reason have never left me:

"As you ride on, please do silently, as they sleep beneath your feet."

No one said a word for miles.

You could only imagine what these poor young men went through, the hundreds and thousands of them, laying down their lives for us, for me, for you, for future generations, as we rode through some of the most beautiful French countryside.

I want to thank Help for Heroes for giving me some of the best memories of my life.

Be proud of them, honour them, remember them.

"When you go home, tell them of us and say"
"For their tomorrow, we gave our today."

Lest we forget.

Kind and Decent? Yeah Right

During a press conference today regarding the report into Labour's anti-semitism problem, Corbyn managed to compare Israel to ISIS, and a Labour Jewish MP, Ruth Smeeth, was attacked which made her walk out in tears.

What did Corbyn do? Absolutely nothing, he didn't intervene, he didn't apologise, he didn't even acknowledge the fact that one of his own MPs had been attacked, and in a very public way.

Also to compare the country Israel to ISIS beggars belief.

When has Israel thrown gay men off of buildings?

When has Israel gang raped women, then stoned them to death for being raped?

When has Israel launched an attack on their own people, burying women and children alive?

Since Corbyn's leadership he has proven he is many things, but kind and decent he is not? Not even a smidgen of evidence has come through for that to be true, other than the fact he once made tea for a cameraman, whoop de do!

Please Not Boris

Boris Johnson won the Brexit campaign, much to his dismay.

He didn't expect the win, he didn't want the win, but now he's got it.

It's pretty obvious Boris wanted a remain win, because he most likely voted remain himself, why? Well he wanted to look like a fallen hero, the man who backed Brexit, but sadly didn't win, he was going to be their champion, their voice, their hero.

No one really expected us to vote to leave the EU, I didn't and I voted leave! I expected remain to win, why? I don't know.

But since we have voted leave, it's lit a few fires, mainly in the Labour party, 80% of Corbyn's MPs have voted a No Confidence in his leadership, but being the revolutionary he is, he ain't backing down, he's breaking the Labour party.

Even one of his most ardent supporters Owen Jones has been suggesting the Labour party should probably split.

However, the Tories are not free of turmoil.

Like I said, Boris and Gove have gone into hiding, and people wants these two to lead us through a Brexit negotiation?

There are two candidates I am torn between, Stephen Crabb, who's a working class boy, he has not been born with a silver spoon, he is full of conviction, pride, and self awareness.

Then there's Theresa May, has done a very good job as Home Secretary, firstly she deported Abu Hamsa, and Qatada, and didn't deport Gary McKinnon, a computer hacker who suffers from Austism.

Labour would have done it the other way round, kept the hate preachers, and extradited McKinnon.

Theresa May has more bollocks than the majority of men in the Cabinet, I like that, she's strong independent, and also full of conviction, her only down fall really is her fashion sense, but I can look past that..... sometimes.

Crabb's downfall, no one really knows who he is, and his weird beard.

I do think Tories who voted for leave have got to look past who backed what campaign, and need to start looking at leader material.

I don't think Boris is a leader, I don't believe he'd be the best option for this country, or the party.

However, I know Stephen Crabb won't get far in this leadership bid, so I am going for Theresa, I don't care that she backed remain.

Is The End Nigh For Labour?

Is Jeremy Corbyn doing what Tony Benn failed to do all those years ago, and actually split the Labour Party?

If not, it looks like he's having a bloody good go at it!

It seems to be the Parliamentary Labour Party vs Corbynistas.

However the Corbynistas have it wrong, surprise surprise, as not all of those opposing Jeremy Corbyn are Blairites or Brownites, and to say so is to be blind, and rather rude as J.K Rowling said in a tweet today:

Jo Cox, considered a Blairte, was killed, murdered in her constituency, and here they are calling her, and her beliefs vermin, lovely to see the "Kinder, gentler politics" Jeremy was talking about at the beginning of his leadership last year.

People like Lisa Nandy and Owen Smith can hardly be called Blairites, yet here they are being labelled one, because they rightly doubt Corbyn is the right man to lead them to a victory.

Corbyn has around 3 allies from his original shadow cabinet, McDonnell, Abbott, and Burnham.

Burnham only stays because he's desperate for any little slice of power, McDonnell because they share the same views, and Abbott because she's still secretly in love with Corbyn.

Corbyn is killing the Labour party, he splitting it right down the middle.

Today at the PLP meeting Jess Phillips apparently begged Corbyn to resign, and Harriet Harman was so upset she was apparently crying, the only Labour MP in Scotland, Ian Murray, told Corbyn of the threats he and his constituency staff are receiving from Momentum, and pro-Corbyn think tank.

So what did Jeremy do?

He, McDonnell and Abbott addressed a crowd of people, one of the being the person pictured above, saying he was here to stay, and not once mentioning the EU Referendum, which is pretty obvious he voted to Leave. (So much for straightforward, honest politics)

Can he not see what he is doing to the party? Can he not see his has lost control of his MPs?

Over 40 MP's and Lords have quit from the Shadow Cabinet, with one being sacked.

Hilary Benn, the sacked MP, received a huge round of applause from the Labour benches, whereas Corbyn received nothing, except heckling for him to resign when he took a dig at his ex-Shadow Cabinet members.

And the Labour front bench was incredibly bare, Corbyn unable to fill the front bench.

British Politicians: How Low Can You Go?

So we voted for Brexit, and what do the powers that be want to do?

Ignore it, after all it was only a referendum not an election.

Sturgeon wants to ignore the will of 17 million people, and listen to 2.6 million people, she wants to overrule the result, and stop a Brexit from happening.

If she does this, I think she'll there's more English support for Scotland to go, than what there ever had been before.

Both major political parties are in turmoil, Labour are wanting to out their leader Jeremy Corbyn with 23 Shadow peeps quitting in 24 hours, and the Tories are in hiding.

Although Gideon did make an appearance this morning to reassure us that he wasn't going to have to use the "emergency budget" he had promised during the run up to the referendum.

The Tories need to elect a new leader too, this is where I will re-join to help stop it becoming Boris Johnson.

Why don't I want Boris?

He lied to us, deep down he wanted to remain in the EU, he didn't really want us to chose Brexit, he only backed Vote Leave because he thought the remain camp would win, Cameron would quit a fwe years down the line, and he'd be in favour with us Vote Leave Tories.

It's back fired badly, not only did Brexit win, but people want him to lead us out of the EU. He knows it, I know it, and you should all know that would be a terrible decision.

It's like Jeremy Corbyn "backing" the remain camp, he didn't really want to remain, he wanted to leave, he had wanted to leave the EU for years, he stood side by side with Tony Benn about how undemocratic the EU was.

But the powers that be in Labour told him he has to back remain, so he went on holiday, did a half arsed campaign and didn't look particularly upset with the result that came in.

So Labour want Corbyn out, Tories want Boris in, stock markets aren't doing as bad as first expected, Osborne isn't having to raid the pensions, and only 36% of young people voted, & Scotland want another Independence Referendum (can we handle another one?!)

A general election looms, so the Tories need to pick the best, and strongest candidate, this is not Boris, and Labour either need to give Corbyn a chance or get on with getting a new leader in place.

Maybe we'll have another hung parliament, I can't see that the public have much faith in either party at the moment.

They both need to pull their socks up and get on with it!

Last Day Pledge - Vote Leave

If you're undecided, or are for remain, I ask you to think of these few things.

Are you a republican? Would you prefer to get rid of our Monarchy and have an elected head of state?

Do you dislike the House of Lords, an unelected bunch who have a say over our laws, economy, etc?

If your answer is yes to both, then why do you not mind having an unelected EU telling you what to do, making laws, regulations, telling you how to live?

Why is that OK, but the Queen and HoL's is not?

The whole royal family costs each tax payer around 56p per person a year, the EU costs every week, according to fullfact.org, £350 million.

Now before you say "Ahh, but the EU gives some of that money back to us!" Yes, they do, but only after they've told us how to spend it.

Unlike the Queen and the HoL where we know who they are, we can take to the streets, demand our government make an elected second chamber.

We can petition to get rid of the Monarchy, and have a president instead, we can have a revolution, however, how c

How can we reform, dethrone, make accountable the EU, when no one knows who's in charge?

How can we march in a demo when angry at a decision made by the EU, when we don't know who we'd be marching against?

One more question, the remain campaign keep banging on about the fact that we can veto against this the EU propose, do you trust any Prime Minister to hear the call of the nation and veto against an EU army? Against Turkey joining the EU? Against something we as a nation find fundamentally wrong?

In conclusion I urge you to vote leave, to make the government we elected wholly accountable, to not give our politicians anymore get out of jail free cards.

Take control, take back ownership, vote leave.

Jo Cox

I am so incredibly sorry for the horrific death of Labour MP Jo Cox, my condolences go to her family and friends, and to the people who witnessed her awful murder.

To those who tried to save her, you are heroes, thank you for proving that where evil stands, good is there to deflect it.

To those trying to score political points off of her death, whether it be saying how some people blame all Muslims for the actions of ISIS, or blame all Catholic's for the actions of what the IRA did.

Or whether you're pointing out that just because he's right wing, doesn't mean and wanted to vote leave, that we're all in the same boat.

Here's the true, and sad story:

A young woman of 42, with two young children has been murdered, by a crazed right wing f**k wit.

A husband has lost his best friend, his lover, his wife.

A mum and dad have lost their daughter.

A sister has lost her sibling.

A friend has been cruelly taken away.

A young woman will never see her children grow up, have families of their own, go to uni.

Two children will miss out on the knowledge their mother could pass on to them, the guidance she could have given them, the love she would have surrounded them with.

A mother and a father are going to bury their child, and lay her to rest.

Yes Thomas Mair is a right wing, nut case, who deserves everything he is to receive in jail, but can we all please note that some people are mourning the death of a loved one.

Let's all remember an MP, who had up and coming potential, who died serving her constituents, who died for no good reason, let's all be angry at Thomas Mair, let's all stop using her death as a political weapon.

RIP Jo Cox MP.

The Smell of Desperation from Remain Stinks!

How desperate do you have to be to wheel out Gordon Brown? A man who put our country into financial ruin, and bailed out the banks.

How desperate do you have to be to want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tony Blair? The man who started a war on false pretenses, the smiling assassin, not only hated by Tory voters, but despised by his own party, but at least he won his elections.

Two men, who have no credibility with the public, the reason Labour have failed so badly in the last general elections is because of these two men.

The reason Jeremy Corbyn is now leader of the Labour party is because of these two men.

Why would any Tory want to stand next to Brown and Blair with all seriousness, and ask the British people, who have recently told the political elite how they feel towards the two New Labour inventors, to listen to them?

The Leave campaign isn't doing much better, Boris is only for leave so he can get the trust of the Tories who want to leave, which is majority.

Then there's Michael Gove, hardly has the British people's trust at the best of times.

Nigel Farage..... well he's in seventh heaven, he has his referendum, and it looks like his side is winning.

However it's not just the Tories that seem to be in dire straits, Labour is in a pickle of it's own.

Firstly, majority of people don't know Labour's official stance, perhaps that's because it has a leader who for years has wanted to leave the EU, and is suddenly told he wants to stay (so much for straight honest politics.)

Labour's official stance is to remain, however the leadership have told it's MPs not to share a platform with the Tories:

Not only has Brown & Blair been wheeled out as last minute attempts, Harman, Khan, Kinnock, and Tessa Jowel have all shared platforms with Tories.

Great to see Corbyn's leadership being taken seriously by his own MPs and Mayor!

The desperation from the Remain campaign stinks, and it's embarrassing.

Leaving Is The Best Option

I don't like the EU, not purely because we have an immigration crisis, it's how undemocratic it is.

On the 31st March 2017, because after this the EU will have all power, and we will NOT be allowed a referendum again.

This literally is a one time only chance to leave.

Do you want to be told what to do by people you did not vote for? Do you want to be told what you can and can't do by people you don't even know the names of?

About a week or so ago Harriet Harman was shown the the seven heads of the EU, she couldn't name one of them.

In fact I don't think a single person, except for Andrew Marr because he was told who they were, on that panel could name one of those men pictured.

How is this good?

People like Owen Jones thinks we should vote In, because we can protest our way to a democratic EU.

Some of us have jobs, families, and lives to think of.

Owen Jones also believes our Human Rights will be taken away the second we leave..... again this is just scare mongering.

Which the Remain campaign has done since this started.

Firstly it'll take years, and years for us to actually leave if we do vote that way, nothing will change over night.

Human Rights won't be taken away the second we leave, housing crisis won't suddenly be solved, and borders won't be shut.

However, those who are at fault will be more accountable.

How can we hold to account those we don't know the names of? How can we hold to account when our own politicians haven't got a clue who they?

The House of Lords is unelected, however, we, if we wanted, could change that, how could we change who was in power in the EU?

Hands up who voted for or against Jean Claude Juncker, the President of the EU? No one?

Hands up who voted for Angela Merke? Alexis Tsipras? Francois Hollande? No one in this country, that's for sure.

I have two Spanish friends who will be voting for Britain to leave, I also have three Eastern European friends who will be voting for Britain to leave.

They also want their home countries to leave as well.

The EU is an undemocratic, dictatorship, yet, who's the dictator? We don't know, and that's what worries me most.

If you're a Labour voter, and you HATE the Tories with all your might, imagine having a government you can't really hold to account, like we currently do.

Imagine a day where, someone like David Cameron has no one else to blame but himself, and you can hold him solely accountable.

Imagine if Jeremy Corbyn wins the next election, and you actually don't like what he's doing, you can hold him solely accountable.

The reason people like Jeremy Corbyn have suddenly changed their tune is because they can deflect your anger, onto the unknown EU leaders.

They're not wholly accountable.

Now, what Britain might be unhappy about with the EU isn't necessarily what France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Romania, etc might be unhappy with.

So how do we get all these countries together? How do you get them to agree on issues that effect each country differently? How do you agree on everything 100% of the time?

You don't!

I've left the Tories, because this current lot are looking more and more like Blair & Brown, EU puppets.

I urge you to vote to leave, I urge you to take control, to make our governments accountable for each, and everyone of their actions, I urge you to make Britain great again.

The Righteous Left

The left wing do like to have their cake and eat it.

Ironically, when a slice of that cake is taken away, they don't like it.

For instance, David Cameron was overheard saying how "Fanatically corrupt" Nigeria, and Afghanistan are.

The left are reveling at Cameron's words, and are even trying to compare the corruption of the Tory party with these two countries. I am aghast I tell you, aghast.

Firstly, yes the Tory party is corrupted, then again so is the Labour Party, the Lib Dems, The Greens, UKIP, SNP etc, if anyone can find me a main political party that isn't corrupt then you are better than Houdini.

Secondly, after years of preaching, it turns out Emma Watson, poster girl for feminism, has been named on the Panama papers for having an offshore account.

Not a peep from those on the left, however, imagine it was Gary Barlow, who once campaigned for the Conservatives, who was named, the left would shouting from the roof tops! But not for one of their own.

Talk like a socialist, live like a capitalist.

Remarkable Ruth!

What a leader Ruth Davidson is!

Firstly, she has put Labour into third place, also she managed to stop the SNP from getting an majority, and she is now the official leader of the opposition in Holyrood.

How did she do so well?

She's passionate, she's intelligent, she doesn't use political jargon, she tells it how it is, she is a conviction politician.

Ruth Davidson doesn't take votes for granted, nor does she suffer fools easily, and if there's one thing Nicola Sturgeon didn't want was Davidson lead Tory opposition.

However, the main issue for the Tories is now London, and Zac Goldsmith's pathetic, and rather half arsed campaign.

Firstly, did he ever show any passion? I don't believe he did.

Did he ever show any character? No, and to be fair to Sadiq Khan, he has slightly more personality, and whether people like it or not, a lot of votes do come down to personality, just look at Boris, did people listen to what he had to say, or did they like his personality? I think the latter wins.

Boris Johnson, Ruth Davidson, and even Sadiq Khan, all have a voice, and they want you to hear them, Goldsmith was quiet, shy, and looked like nervous every time he was asked a question, or put to challenge.

Lastly, towards the end of the campaign, the left were able to label him Islamaphobic, not a good look when you're wanting to run England's capital, where 12.4% of the population are Muslim.

However, I think we all knew deep down Zac was never going to win, and Corbyn was never going to bring the "5 million voters."

UKIP's surge in Wales should be a stark warning to them, they're slowly but surely losing the faith of what should be Labour heartlands.

Labour should be asking themselves where they're going wrong, but they won't, they'll do what they've always done, stick their heads in the sand, and hope it all blows over.

Labour's Playing A Dangerous Game Of Denial

To deny that Labour has an anti-semitic problem is in itself a major problem, because you'll never effectively eradicate the problem.

For those who are in denial here's a few pointers as to why you do have a huge problem within Labour:

1. Naz Shah saying that Jews should be "transported" as a "solution."

2. Ken Livingstone claiming "Hitler was a zionist." is not only ignorant, but extremely disrespectful to the Jewish people who suffered at the hands of this megalomaniac

3. The NUS having a debate about whether they should recognise the Holocaust or not........ just wow!

4. The leader himself in talks with Hamas, and Hizbollah, who are not only anti-semitic, but sexist, and homophobic.

5. Ken Livingstone accusing a Jewish journalist of being a "German Camp guard criminal."

However, it's quite obvious that the Labour leader, if not agrees with the anti-semitic views, he definitely empathises with them.

Firstly it took 5 hours to suspend Ken Livingstone, why did it take that long?

Secondly, Ken and Jeremy have been friends for decades, I'm pretty sure that Ken expressing these anti-Semitic views didn't come as a huge shock to Jeremy.

Thirdly, Jeremy still appointed Ken as a member of the Nation Executive Committee, knowing that Ken held these views.

Anti-Semitism is a real, huge problem within the Labour party, a problem that laid dormant for many years, but has sadly started to raise it's ugly head again.

To deny this problem is dangerous, to tackle it head on would be the best plan of action, but sadly Labour are doing what they've always done, and are burying their heads in the sand.

Taxes! Taxes! Taxes!

If we're going to be honest, Cameron did make a right pigs ear (pardon the pun), of the whole offshore account/ dodging taxes.

And whilst we're being honest, Corbyn has made an even bigger mess out of it.

Firstly, yes Cameron did nothing illegal, and paid the right amount of taxes that was asked of him, as every expert in the land has said so.

However, he took it far too personally, and tried to spin it off, and amazingly, he is doing so.

Now it's Corbyn's turn to put under the limelight.

Cameron has published six years of his tax returns, Corbyn has only published one year, and that took him six days to do so.

It also turns out, thanks to The Sun, Corbyn may have tax evaded himself.

Are we going to see a hashtag #resigncorbyn? Nope.

Are we going to have a mass protest outside the Labour leader's home or Labour's HQ? Doubtful.

What about Unite The Union's failure of paying tax? Are we going to protest over that as well?

Even The Guardian tax dodged, are we going to protest outside their HQ?

Are we going to bring to justice, no matter of political stances, the tax dodgers of Britain?

No we are not, because those who are left wing can do as they please, as I've said before "It's OK to live like a capitalist, so long as you talk like a socialist."

Margaret Hodge, Labour MP, tax dodged on £1.5 million.

David and Ed Miliband managed to avoid paying tax on the £5 million inheritance left to them, from their Marxist father Ralph Miliband.

Was there any protests? No

Was there any outrageous hashtags for resignations? No

And yet the left still claim to believe in equality...... my arse they do!

You will never stop tax avoidance, or evasion if you only go after some tax dodgers, you have to go after them all, otherwise, you're fighting a losing battle.... then again the left are used to that.

Who Needs Comedian's When We Have Polticians

If I was still doing my stand up routine, I'd be extremely annoyed at our current lot of politicians.

Firstly Corbyn, a man who scrapped in the Labour Leadership bid as those who did support him said others should because it would "open the debate", only to alienate those within the party who dont agree with his views once he won.

Now there's Cameron who, let's face it, is a walking talking disaster at the moment.

It seems the Prime Minister has taken a leaf out of Corbyn's book, and decided that alienation is a great way forward.

It was leaked that he was ignoring members of the cabinet who were for Brexit..... how very grown Prime Minister.

Now it has emerged that he had received inherited funds from his father's offshore shares..... naughty boy.

What is even more amusing is The Guardian's faux outrage at this tax-dodging scheme, despite having used a similar tactic to avoid paying corporation tax by saving their profit's within the Cayman Island's.

Now the left are following Edward Snowden's calls for Cameron to resign....... this coming from a man who leaked a load of information we can to sweat F.A. about.

So now there's a hashtag #resigncameron...... because the hashtags during the last election were so very helpful for Mr Miliband election process.

Ignorance Is Not Bliss

I write this blog for the ignorant, & bloody stupid.

For those who think it's clever to use the Nazi Salute, for those who think Enoch Powell had the right idea, for those who think that all Jews are Zionists/ racists.

For all of you who, whether you consider yourself left or right wing, you are ignorant, dumb, and dumber, and even dumber than that.

Nazi Salutes..... what the f**k are you thinking?!

Do you know what Hitler did?

Do you know what the Nazi's inflicted on these poor people?

Do you understand the misery that these people went through?

Do you understand the racism?

Do you understand the hatred?

If I am honest, I don't want to answer all these questions, I am British, with extremely strong Irish & Scottish roots.

As an English woman I know how much hatred is perpetuated at us for what our ancestors did, and guess what, we English throw that hatred back! Woop effing woop.....

Now imagine yourself a Jew/ Muslim/ Buddhist/ Catholic/ CofE/ Jesuit/ Sikh/ Hindu etc, and being persecuted.

Now out of all of us the Jewish community has the right of say over persecution, seeming as the majority of Muslim killings is from another Muslim.

Now as a proud English and British I ask a few questions:

1. If you're a Labour supporter, why is there such hatred for the Jewish Community?

2. If you're Conservative, how can you support the Tories who help the Saudi's, a country that would throw a gay man off of a building, stone a woman to death for being raped, allows the marriage of a grown man to a child?

3. Why aren't we, as a country despite party politics, doing more to fight racial, sexual, transexual or any discriminational prejudice?

I ask anyone, whether you're far far left, far far right, or far left, or far right, or somewhere in-between, I dare you to answer these three questions, without racism, without prejudice, without  offence........

Budget 2016 - Corbyn Fails Again

It's fair to say George Osborne's budget was very clever indeed, instead of taking the flack Jamie Oliver has taken the limelight off of the government over the Sugar Tax.

However, what is more sorrowful is how Corbyn's response has been largely glazed over.

The papers, and in general, people don't seem to care for his response.

I listened to LBC on the way home last night, and in that time, not one person spoke about Corbyn's response.

Instead those who thought it was unfair and could prove how it was going to effect them, did with gusto.

Others were talking about Jamie Oliver taking the limelight.

Whilst others mentioned how parts of the budget were going to help them.

Again, no one mentioned Corbyn's response, however the news did replay a small section of his response, and it was exactly how you;d imagined it.

So I ask, how bad of an opposition leader do you have to be when no one cares? When people are more interested in a TV Chef's response, rather then your own?

Even Ed Miliband held more courtship than that!

What's Happening To America?

What on earth is happening in America?

Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, & Donald Trump.

Not one of these people is good enough to run a bath let alone the most powerful country in the world.

Let's deal with Donald Trump, who is not only racist, and sexist, he's thick, possibly more thick than George W. Bush, and that's no mean feat!

He hates Mexicans, Muslims, & wants to build walls around America to keep people out.

Does he not know the history of America? That without immigration, he himself would not be an American?

Apparently not.

Then there's Hilary Clinton, who, for different reasons, is just as vile a Trump, but she's sly, and clever, let's face it without Hilary her husband would never have been President!

Ted Cruz... again a more clever version of Trump.

Bernie Sanders is basically Jeremy Corbyn's American counter part (except he hasn't been elected), policies that don't add up,  and uninspiring.

Isn't there any decent American politician out there?

Sadly the days of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher are over, no more sensible politics, instead politicians are more worried about their future careers, and their image.....

The Failings of Labour Slough Council

Today I met a young apprentice hairdresser.

Charming young man, with ambition, exactly what all political parties are looking for to show case.

However, he told me of a story today that saddened me beyond belied.

He has a young friend of only 16, who got his first job, also as an apprentice hairdresser, you'd think his mum would be proud of her son getting a job at such a young age, and having ambition himself.

Sadly not. Instead this mother tried with all her might to make sure her 16 year old lad didn't get the job, she even rang up the hairdressers to advise them not to give him the job.

However, the hairdressers told her where to go, and he was offered the job, so she chucked him out.

Apparently, through him getting an apprenticeship, she could lose her benefits, so instead of being proud of her son, she threw him out, left him destitute, homeless.

Thankfully, this young man has a very good friend who has a very good family, and they have taken him in.

Also, they contacted the council to let them know of where he was living, and to see if the council, a Labour council, could do anything to house this young man.

They've heard nothing.

Then a stroke of luck, a man was willing to let his flat out, if the council helped...... they declined any help, and again have done nothing to help this young man.

Where's the compassion? Where's the kindness? Where's the caring?

I said "Why don't you contact the Slough MP, Fiona Mactaggart? "

He has, they've heard nothing.

For me this story just sums Labour up perfectly.

They'd rather fund a feckless mother, who would chuck her own child out onto the streets for getting a job, for taking responsibility, for becoming an adult, and standing on his own two feet.

This is just one story, how many other young people who are trying to become responsible are being ignored?

How many other young people are being left on sofas?

So much for the "Kinder, gentler politics" Jeremy Corbyn tried to sell in the beginning.

The Problem With Catch Phrases

Last night I watched This Week, and my old favourite Owen Jones was on talking about the immigration crisis we are currently seeing.

He fought his corner gallantly against the political broadcaster Andrew Neil, however he used the old catch phrase, "they are human, much like us."

For me, this catch phrase is, ironically, dehumanising, and derogatory.

Firstly, either you think those who don't agree with your solution are dumb and haven't realised these people are human.

Secondly, again for me, dehumanises the people who are either running from conflict, the fact that you think this needs to be pointed out almost takes the shine away from the rest of the argument.

Other catch phrases that are now debunked because of over-use:

"Hard-working families." David Cameron's favourite.

"Tory Scum." Something the left love to shout during a protest or strike, which most Tories find rather amusing than hurtful, or damning.

"I have a question..." Jeremy Corbyn's weekly phrase during Prime Ministers Questions, which once held an air of uncertainty, but now it's more of a joke that even his own Shadow Cabinet members have used as jokes.

So please, let's stop with the catch phrases, and concentrate on the argument.

Kinder, Gentler Politics?

I'm not going to blame Jeremy Corbyn for his supporters being vile, nasty, and racist, but the ugly side of Labour has popped it's ugly head up ever since he was elected last September.

Corbyn himself is a hypocrite, calling Hamas and other known terrorist organisations friends. He is close friends with ex IRA leader Gerry Adams, and even gave a minute silence to eight killed IRA bombers. As well as speaking at many rallies where posters, and pictures are depicting violence.

Ever since becoming leader of the Labour party Corbyn has said he wants the people to dictate what Labour's policies will be, yet when it comes to The Falklands, where an overwhelming majority voted to stay part of the Great Britain, yet he will quite happily ignore this, and would negotiate with Argentina, despite what the people voted for.

As well as John McDonnell, Corbyn's shadow Chancellor, saying he would go back in time to assassinate Thatcher, and praised the IRA's past demeanours.

Ken Livingstone, an executive member of the NEC, once said that he didn't want rich Jewish people voting for him.

Today on LBC Ken said, in a roundabout way, it's OK to support Hamas as they were elected...... so was Hitler, but it's a taboo to support Nazism (quite rightly)

Hamas kill gay people, kill women who have been raped, fire at Israel from schools and hospitals so that they fire back at the schools and hospitals, then complain about Israel killing their vulnerable.

But it's OK to support them, they were elected.

Corbyn and co have turned the Labour party from a joke, into an ugly, hateful, spiteful party of depressants.

Why Is the Left So Pro-EU?

The left are all about accountability, that's one of the main reasons they like the idea of nationalisation.

If something goes wrong, there's one source to blame, the government.

There's a reason why David Cameron wants to stay party of the EU, if anything goes wrong he can put the blame on a few of these people:

The unelected President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, those behind the scenes who we haven't got a clue who they are, the MEP's who's role is to what I am not sure.

All of whom have to bare their fair share of the blame, but how much does each person take?

There is no one person who is accountable, there are too many people to put the blame onto, and what portion of blame they deserve is also unknown.

For instance the immigration crisis, Merkel is to blame, she allowed the immigrants to flood into Germany, which has now helped created animosity towards all immigrants, as well as the EU itself.

The EU's treatment of Greece was despicable, but they have gotten away with it, as there is no one person to blame.

There isn't that accountability.

Again I ask, why do the left want to hold on to one of the most undemocratic, unaccountable power's in the world?

The UNlawful "Detention" of #Assange: Utter Bollocks

The UN has declared Julian Assange has been unlawfully detained within Ecuador's Embassy in London.

Utter Bollocks.

Firstly, as we all know, Julian took REFUGE in the Ecuadorian Embassy, he was not detained.

Also, if he was being "detained" it wouldn't have been by Britain, or Sweden, but Ecuador, seeming as it was their embassy in which he was staying.

Thirdly, what about the questions he is faced with in Sweden of rape? Surely he has an obligation to prove his innocents? Surely something as serious as rape/ sexual assault charges take a bigger president over whether he's been "unlawfully" detained or not?

This, to me and many others has put the meaning of the UN under question.

Unless of course, the UN is taking Assange's side because he has some dirt on them, in which he has threatened to "leak" if they go against him.

Guess we'll never know, however, I do know one thing, he was not being "detained", he entered the embassy to avoid being extradited to Sweden for the sexual assault/ rape allegations, and to the USA for his "Wikileaks".

Arrest him, make him face the allegations, especially of rape/ sexual assault, and let him clear his name, otherwise to many of us, he looks more and more guilty.

How Can We Help When We're Struggling As It Is?

To those who are saying Britain could do more to take in the Syrian refugees, I have a few questions for you.

Where will they live?

As we all know Britain has a housing shortage, people are stuck on waiting which are 5 years long! If we're struggling with the people we already have, how can we legitimately, and fairly help others?

How will our already over worked social workers cope?

Again, we already know that our social services are stretched to the limit, how will the cope with even more cases loaded on to them?

Also how is this being fair to either side? What if the over stretched social worker misses clues of abuse because they're trying to help god knows how many other children?

How will already cram stuffed schools cope? How will that benefit the children's education? That being of the children already here, and the children coming here?

Surely before we can help anyone, we have to deal with these issues first? Otherwise we're just going to add to the problems making it that much harder to resolve.

To me it seems more unfair to bring people here, where they is no housing, and not the correct support for them.

It's unfair on the people who are seeking our help, and it's unfair on our society to stretch it further.

I say, fix our internal problems, then we can truly help those who need it.

Leave The Falklands Alone!

Why is Corbyn hell bent on ignoring the people of the Falkland Islands?

He keeps repeating that he'd do negotiations with Argentina, despite in 2013 the Falklander's overwhelming voting stay part of Great Britain.

This is a man who has said he wants the people to decide most of Labour's policies, yet here he is sticking his fingers in his ears when it comes to The Falklands.

99.8% voted to stay with GB, 0.20% voted against. Thats 1,513 people vs 3 people.

So why is Corbyn being such a hypocrite? Why is Corbyn even bringing this up so soon after the referendum? Why is he ignoring the people of The Falklands?

Corbyn is a classic case of a far left wing leader, he says one thing, but does another.

Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Chavez, Castro etc, they all promised the people one thing, but did the complete opposite once in power.

Common Sense Should Be Renamed

They call it common sense, but in actual fact it seems very rare to come across someone who's actually got it.

Jeremy Corbyn is certainly lacking in it.

Yesterday's interview on the BBC's Marr Show was beyond ridiculous, and Marr allowed him to speak, as the saying goes, give them enough rope, they'll hang themselves.

Firstly his return to flying pickets, and secondary strike action is something Sir Michael Foot would have supported back in 1983!

To what purpose would this serve? How would it help any causes if it didn't before?

His repitive use of the words "grotesque" "NHS" and "Housing" were rather boring, just attacking the Tories with no actual plan himself, but then again that's not different to any other Labour leader.

Then of course was his bizarre idea to rid the Trident Submarines of their warheads....... because empty submarines are a terrifying thought!

When criticised, he cannot for the life of him, see why.

The problem with Corbyn, his allies within the Shadow Cabinet, and his followers? They're suffering from tunnel vision.

With the new report coming out about why, and how Labour lost so badly last May will not change their views, they will not deviate from their mission.

This is admirable, but also a stupid stance to have, then again the far left have never been that good on compromising, which is one of the very reasons it keeps failing.

I've Left The Conservative Party

I am sorry to say can no longer be part of the Conservatives

.

Yes, I will back some of their policies, but others just seem downright mean, and others are carrying on Blair’s work of creating a nanny state.

I don’t want the government telling me what I can and can’t eat, I already know what’s bad for, what’s good for, it’s just a matter of will.

I’ve got friends who failed their Maths GCSE, yet are brilliant calorie counters, they don’t need Cameron pretending to care by imposing another tax on them.

Another problem I find, and this is where I am sure many Conservatives are going to disagree with me, is that the Tories are just being mean sometimes.

Take for instance tax credits, something created by Gordon Brown, shouldn’t be there, however, it is, and people who are in lowed paid jobs are relying on it, what are the Tories planning to do? Just take it away.

How is that fair on those who are working hard?

For me the Conservative Party is meant to be there for those who do have aspirations, for those who are working hard, but getting no breaks.

Instead this government seems to be hell bent on either bringing up the past, or blaming someone else.

Cameron is also an annoyance, his smarmy appearances at Prime Ministers Questions every week is beyond boring now, we didn’t elect you to be a stand up Dave, we want a Prime Minister, a statesman.

Also his attitude towards us, the voters, the people who put him where he is, echoes that of Tony Blair, it’s like he looks down on us from on high. I fear he’s forgotten what it’s like being in opposition, he’s completely lost touch.

I went to CCHQ to help out a friend with some calling, & Cameron was the special guest who arrived, he obviously thinks a lot of himself, and with the grace of a dying giraffe he said “I am going to dinner now to raise money so you can do this.” Then laughed.

We were volunteering!!! What the hell needed paying for?!

As well as Cameron’s friends within government, Jeremy Hunt for example, a pathetic man who can preach to the already converted, but useless when put under pressure from opponents.

Does Jeremy even care about the NHS? I don’t believe so, all I keep hearing is more cuts, and then them trying to spin it as a raise…… we’re not stupid.

At the Tory Conference back in October, I spoke to many people who either worked in the NHS, or had family or friends working within the NHS, and they all said, “He’s going too far.”

Also the conference itself for me was a first, now bare with me, it’s a bit of a role play the next part.

I believe it was the second day of the conference, and I went to get a drink, as I gave the man my money but the till jammed, he looked at me apologetically, but we all know shit happens, and I smiled.

A man then stood behind me, impatiently, he could see there was a problem with the till, but that wasn’t his problem was it? Oh no.

He then pushed past me, “Can I have a bottle of water.”

“In a minute sir, the till’s stuck.” He said, again apologetically.

“Look here’s £3, please just get me a bottle of water!” He said, whilst slamming down his money on the counter.

The waiter looked helplessly at me as he was holding up the till whilst his colleague tried to fix it at the back.

“Hang on.” He then whispered to his colleague, who now had to hold the till. He grabbed the water, and gave it to the impatient man.

“About time.” He said as he snatched it, and stormed off mumbling something under his breath.

I stood there waiting patiently, as I said shit happens, within seconds of the rude bloke buggering off, the till worked, I got my change and drink, and gave the man an apologetic smile.

Now I told you that story because, how I view that impatient man, is how I view the Tories. No compassion, no thinking of others, just themselves.

For instance, Zac Goldsmith, I also met him at the conference, very easy on the eye, but a little bit like Hunt, no backbone.

Goldsmith has decided he’s against expanding Heathrow, and as he’s running to become London’s next Mayor the government has decided to delay its decision whether to expand it or not.

To me that’s putting Party before country, and that’s not something I signed up to when I joined them.

Even if the government chooses not to, get it over and done with now, people’s future are waiting on this decision, not just homes, but jobs too.

Now I am not tarring all Conservative MPs with the same brush, I like Henry Smith, MP for Crawley, who I went and canvassed for, or even Theresa May who’s my MP, who I think is a half decent Home Secretary and has more balls that most of the men in the cabinet.

But Cameron and his mates, I have no time for anymore.

We've Come A Long Way, But We're Slipping Back

Yesterday was an extremely sad day for the music world, David Bowie died. His legend will undoubtedly live on, which we should be thankful for.

However, yesterday's awful news gave way to some of Bowie's greatest moments, whether it be his music, his acting, or his answering of questions.

One video stuck out to me like a sore thumb.

Back in 1983 Bowie was being interviewed by MTV, and he challenged them on not playing enough black musicians, unless it was at an ungodly time of 2am to 6am.

The guy questioning Bowie at first denied this, and gave a shrug off answer of "fits into what we want to play."

But Bowie, in his greatness, didn't let up. "There seems to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that, I'm surprised aren't used on MTV."

"We have to try and do what we think, not only New York, and Los Angeles, would appreciate, or some town in midwest that would be scared to death by Prince, which we're playing, or a string of other black faces, they're not used to."

So David Bowie had successfully turned from interviewee, to interviewer.

"That's very interesting, isn't that interesting." Bowie said with a rather wry smile,

The, now interviewee, realises he's dug a hole, and tries to get himself out of it by listing off a few black artists "who mean something to me," now here's the part that's really cringe worthy.

"But what do they mean to a 17 year old?" By that he meant a white 17 year old, apparently black 17 year old's interest aren't worth worrying about.

So good old Bowie hit him back, "Well I'll tell you what Marvin Gaye means to a black 17 year old, and surely he's part of America too?"

Mark Goodman, the supposed interviewer, then starts spouting on about how white musicians are starting to play black music, so hopefully one day both black and white kids can listen to the same music, then hopefully white kids will understand black music.......

As Goodman says that awful line about white kids understanding music, Bowie gives another wry smile.

My jaw dropped at this interview, I was pleased our plucky, weird Brit came forward, and absolutely disgusted that the answers he was given was good for Goodman to keep his job.

In Britain, we've come a long way, I can't say they have or have not in America, you see artists like Jay Z, Beyonce, Kanye West, Sean Combs, 50 cent, etc, all on the TV.

However, when you hear about incidences like Sandra Bland, who was arrested for absolutely nothing, then subsequently died in custody, the Baltimore riots over the death of Freddy Gray who was arrested healthy, but again died in custody.

Or Eric Garner who was choked to death by a police officer, who he repeatedly told whilst his hands were in there air "I can't breathe." 

America has a long, long way to go, so when someone like Donald Trump says America is too "PC", someone please remind him of these incidences.

Europe seems to be heading backwards too, the migrant crisis has not helped, on New Years Eve, a large group of women were sexually assaulted by immigrants in Cologne in Germany, the left want you to ignore it because these offences were committed by migrants.

This is by Laurie Penny in the NewStatesmen:

"Why we can't always take sexual assault as seriously as we do when migrants, and Muslims are involved as perpetrators?"

"In a perverse sort of way, it's progress."

These are the people who are also sitting there wondering why groups like Pegida who are spouting Hitler quotes, even some here in Britain are saying things like "Hitler was right."

From one extreme to the other, and neither is helping the other cause, not that either side would admit any wrong doing.

We are heading back to these times of racism and fascism, and I'm scared, I don't want that.

I don't judge someone because of their skin colour, nor do I find their music hard to understand because they have a different skin colour.

I don't care about someone's religion, all I ask is that you respect my views, and I'll respect yours.

But we're heading away, the left want us to bow down because of years of oppression, that was committed by our ancestors, the far right want us to kill anyone of a different colour, and for those of us stuck somewhere in the middle, we need to find a message, then say it loud.
