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.
