A bit more about how 'we' like working people!

“ Looking after working people”, a couple of words the good ol’ Keir likes to bandy about. Can someone tell our  promoted  bankteller Reeves as well? It seems she is in the old Labour mood of destroying the economy. This is not unexpected of course, every Labour government does the same. Although they usually are very good at telling what they intend to do, and unfortunately never do. I have started to think both the Yuppie college of Eton and the Woke University of Oxford teach a course of Obfuscation. So, come November we see the same old old, tax rises instead of grasping the social aid costs and slimming down the Civil Service. But both Keir and Rach just haven’t got the type of brain to do such a thing. Theirs is just wired for one thing, staying in power for as long as they can. Simply because they know they will be in the doldrums for decades after the next general election unless they are gone before that. They work to be remembered , except they will be remembered fo...

"I love working people, yawn"

One of those most wonderful sounding statements from politicians such as our knowledgeable PM is “ Making lives better for working people”. From where I am sitting that’s not very much then is it? The way our country is going and being governed there will be more and more people who are NOT working. One way or another, either being so-called “Unfit” or have the latest fad “Mentally unfit”. It doesn’t seem to bother them because loads more are in the waiting queue. We hear more and more of young people who just want to travel. Vietnam seems to be the place six-formers dream of. The funny thing is our PM seems to be totally unaware of this state of affairs. Or if he is, just closes his eyes and stops cotton wool in his ears. He just loves being on the world stage looking like a prat. He has no idea what is going on, he just carries the royal letter of invitation to come and watch Trooping the Colour. We are good at that. In any case the lives of working people is not getting better, it i...

Political suicide and down the Well of Obscurity...

How many times has it been said that some politicians are shysters, or at worst criminals? It seems the human preponderance for liking money and power outweigh anything else. To get to the top come what may is the wet dream of many aspiring to what they believe is greatness. The biggest example of course is a certain American would-be politician. One of my most liked political correspondents or if you will journalist, is Trevor Kavanagh. His articles pull no punches. You might argue he is a rabid rightie but I think you’d be wrong. As he indicated in this Saturday’s article in the Sun newspaper, “Our Ang knew what she was doing, furthermore Keir did as well and knowing full well what she had done still ‘supported’ her”. When everyone else knew the writing was on the wall. Keir’s political acumen is not great, but for Pete’s sake he is a Human Rights lawyer, a barrister no less. What does that say for the legal profession? If you don’t believe me, read this Wiki – Keir Starmer the Prime...

Do as I say, do not do as I do

This is probably the mantra all politicians have. There are plenty of examples of this, the latest being the furore about the (in)famous Ms Rayner’s liking for property. I suppose on its own there is nothing wrong with buying a house. If you haven’t got the money, just get a mortgage or a rich benefactor. For me the questions concerning her issue is simple. Two things spring to mind, '1. Taxes and 2. Where did the money come from'. Bearing in mind the lady is always happily mentioning her very poor upbringing. In my mind such situations tend to last a lifetime. Unless you do something about it. Obviously in her case she did,. She joined the Labour party. The Wiki says: She later trained in social care at Stockport College and worked for the local council as a care worker. She eventually became a trade union representative within Unison . Knowing for myself how difficult it is to raise your head above the parapet, one would have to applaud her for at least having done that. The ...
