Still not gone ….
Farewell to the Illustrious Leader, pity its only the IL and not the whole damned Party aren’t going with him, but I suppose we can live in hope. What have we too look forward to in his wake – and note that his swan song is a world tour for no other purpose than to press the flesh with all his fellow crooks and charlatans around the world at our expense. Pretty rich for the leader of the Party that demanded public scrutiny of the Queen’s travel expenses and which whinged and whined about her extravagnace and “cost to the taxpayers”. He has managed (and his ministers are even worse!) to spend around five times as much as we paid for the Queen’s travel. And I know exactly who I would rather spend the money on – and it certainly isn’t any of the shower infesting the Palace of Westminster.
What have ten years of this fraud and frontman given us? Higher tax, bigger bureaucracy, an ever growing gap between the rich and everyone else, more state interference than ever before. A war we have no business being involved in and now cannot in conscience pull out of, armed forces that are demoralised, “managed” by complete a***h*les of civil servants who buy the wrong equipment at four times the real cost, refuse to listen to the soldiers, sailors and airmen and who lay our forces open to abuse by every two-bit lawyer trying to make his fortune by prosecuting them under one or more of the cockamami laws Blair and his shower of wastrals have brought in without due thought to the consequences. Our airforce is reduced to a squadron and our “fleet” is reduced to the same level. Watch this space, the promised Super Carriers will never be built. Labour hate them, and want to squander the money on lining their own pockets and gerrymandering of votes, the Civil Service have been trying to prevent them and by the time they are all finished there won’t be the money to build them anyway – oh, and the Fleet Air Arm is no more – it hasn’t any aircraft for them anyway.
Then we have Public Services that are now so top heavy with Civil Service “Managers” that they are unable to actually deliver what they are supposed to and which are, moreover, so obsessed with Political Correctness and “minority” rights and “targets” that they refuse to even deal with anything that isn’t in one of those categories.
Blair arrived proclaiming he was a Christian and a Church goer. Anyone noticed he’s stopped attending church (unless there is a camera opportunity) and that Christianity is now under attack? Don’t be too surprised if, once the latest attack on personal freedom, the new “guidelines” on schools which Ofsted are to enforce to make sure that all our schools are reduced to the same mess as the inner city sinkholes Blair has promoted are introduced, it is only the Christian schools and the rural, and by definition, predominantly white anglo-saxon schools are targetted as “failing to comply” with the requirements to admit people from other backgrounds. Blair leaves behind him a trail of destrruction that is surely unsurpassed in a “democratic” society. Our freedoms, enshrined originally in the Magna Carta are in ruins, circumscribed and reduced by the abyssmal Human Rights Act, whose only beneficiaries seem to be assylum seekers and criminals, our freedom of speech proscribed by various Acts prohibiting any criticism of Islam which may “incite racial or religious hatred”. Our freedom of choice is now reduced to anything Blair approves of and nothing he doesn’t.
Tax. Well, what can one say about a man who rode to power on the promise that “personal” tax would not rise. Ah, well, that depends on how you define “personal”. Those thieves at the Treasury and the denizen of Number 11 (Let us not forget that he is a Scottish MP who votes in Westminster on matters that have no impact on HIS constituents at all!) have defined it as meaning “direct” taxation, as in Income Tax, Death Duty and so on. But National Insurance has gone up, by the simple mechanism of raising the ceiling so everyone above the threshold now pays vastly more for even less than they got before. VAT has risen, because, as prices rise, so does the taxman’s cut. Stamp duty has gone up, so has fuel duty, vehicle or road tax, council tax and the list goes on and on. Nor should we forget that he has raided the pension funds to the tune of 5 billion a year since his initial grab – and he still refuses to acknowledge that he is responsible for the decline in investment. (Tory’s please note – the Pensions Tax is one you would do very well to reverse immediately you get into power. And SACK the first b*st*rd Civil Servant who says it can’t be done. It can, and the Civil Servants who say otherwise are all and without exception liars!).
One more interesting little wriggle for Mister Blair’s Premiership – Robert Maxwell’s newspapers were major Labour donors right up to the point that Maxwell was exposed as the charlatan he was. We should be asking the Labour Party to refund the money stolen from Maxwell’s pensioners whose pension fund paid for Blair’s election. They certainly need the money more than the Labour Party does.
History will, I think I can predict without fear of contradiction, judge this period as the point in time when Great Britain ceased to be a nation, ceased to consider it had anything worth surviving for – and committed suicide. Blair may yet win in his ultimate objective and see England split into eight Euro Regions, stripped of it’s Sovereign and ruled by Dictat from a Socialist stronghold located in Brussels. We may be certain we have not seen the last of this nasty little man – his ambition will drive him to seek some high profile post such as “President of the United States of Europe”.
I shall say nothing at all of the news that that bloated buffoon that disgraces the office of Deputy Prime Minister wants to be our Ambassador to Washington. God preserve us! It is too ghastly to even contemplate.
As you may or may not already be aware, members of the Watcher’s Council hold a vote every week on what they consider to be the most link-worthy pieces of writing around… per the Watcher’s instructions, I am submitting one of my own posts for consideration in the upcoming nominations process.
Here is the most recent winning council post, here is the most recent winning non-council post, here is the list of results for the latest vote, and here is the initial posting of all the nominees that were voted on.
