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.
