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.

Ignorance Is Bliss

Ignorance is bliss, as the saying goes, but it's never stood in a court of law.

For me the left is being as ignorant as it can be right now, yes we in the right can be just as ignorant, but left are out classing themselves currently.

Ever since Corbyn won the Labour leadership, it's almost as if they've been taking stupid pills.

According to Corbyn's supporters, all Labour MPs who vote against him are morally corrupt, and should go and join the Tories, yet when it's pointed out to them that Corbyn went against the Labour leadership over 500 times as a backbencher, he did it because of morals.

Apparently you only have morals if you're left wing, or what they consider to be left wing.

When Corbyn won they asked that the press, and us on social media, only criticise him for his words, and actions.

We've obliged, yet they're still not happy.

The left will quite happily throw pictures of Cameron and the King of Saudi, or Cameron shaking the president of Kazakhstan's hand, and call him a terrorist sympathiser, but when we retaliate, for instance we point out Corbyn and McDonnell's closeness to the IRA in the 1980's, or the fact that Corbyn called terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hizbollah friends, it was honorable, how dare we see it any other way.

When it's pointed out to Corbyn himself that he's spoken at rallies where flags of violence can be clearly seen, and in his speeches as these rallies he noted for saying he's in solidarity with them, we've got it all wrong.

When a Labour MP notices that the top four jobs within the Shadow Cabinet have all been given to me, despite Corbyn's cries for feminism, it's OK, because he's Corbyn.

When a Labour MP, I'll repeat the last bit, a Labour MP quits the Labour front bench live on air, it's a Tory conspiracy.

Now I don't know about you, but as much as Steven Doughty might dislike Corbyn, I have a suspicion he despises Cameron more, so why on earth would he help him.

When it's pointed out that the only people to blame for Daesh's actions are Daesh themselves, you get sacked from the Shadow Cabinet.

If you feel that it's a "f**king shambles" that you've only been given a 3 day notice before a vote in the commons, that your party has changed it's mind, it's being disloyal to your party.

When you point out that yes a few pro-Tories working in the BBC, but there's also quite a few pro-Labour working there, we're wrong.

Despite the fact that Seasmus Mile's. Corbyn director of communications, father used to work there with quite a high job, it's ignored.

When it's pointed out that The Sun used to back Labour, and Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were close friend's with Rebekah Brooks, the ex editor of News Of The World, it's ignored.

The more the left play deaf and dumb, the more unelectable they're becoming.... long may it continue.

Labour 2016: Sackings, & Resignations

6 days into the New Year and I think it's safe to say, Corbyn is the worst leader Britain has seen in the 21st Century, and before that it was Ed Miliband.

Ed Miliband lost Labour seats, he did worse than Gordon Brown, Jeremy Corbyn is losing MPs from his front bench.

3 MPs quit the Labour front bench earlier today, in less than 1 hour (must be a record?)

Not only that, he's firing people who disagree with him, but those who disagree with him, and have a legitimate reason to do so.

Pat McFadden was sacked because he said terrorists only have themselves to blame for committing such atrocities, Corbyn believes that it's the West's fault that these nutters are killing their own people.

Now what I find ironic about Jeremy Corbyn sacking those who disagree with him is that, he relied on those people to back him in order to be in the Labour leadership election.

Without those people backing him, who knowingly disagreed with him on many policies, he would not be in the position he is today.

If these MPs ignored the calls to "widen the debate", then he'd still be backbencher nobody had heard of, rebelling against the Labour leadership (ironically probably would have been Andy Burnham).

Yes, to a degree I believe Jeremy needs a cabinet that is in alliance with his views, however, how many Labour MPs are there, that do agree with majority of his views?

I'd say there was around 10...... whoop dee doo.

Jeremy is going to have to face the fact the PLP do not agree with him.

He has one MP who has now labelled him misogynistic, another MP called his very first PLP meeting a "total fucking shambles", another one called it a "joke".

Even before he won the leadership bid he had MPs threatening to resign the front bench should he win, and they did when he won.

He's now silencing the MPs, such as Hilary Benn, so that they can only say the agree with him.

It's nice to see Jeremy Corbyn showing how democracy can be a great way of people working together, despite having differing views.....

Jeremy Corbyn is Labour's fatality, instead of the media watching Tory MP's flock to either the In or Out sides of the EU referendum (which is equally as dangerous to the Tories as what Corbyn is to Labour), they're concentrating on Labour's 3 day reshuffle, which only saw two people sacked.

Corbyn has no backbone, has no coherent policies, and no leadership skills, he is a disease that the Labour party can cure itself, but not if it's left too late.

I hope the "moderates" within the Labour party, who are being purged by Corbyn and his motley crew, either find a new party or oust him from his perch.
