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!
