The World was Watching!

Margaret Thatcher's funeralWhatever the politics, British people put on an event yesterday that had to be the envy of the world.  Yes I agree that the cost was astronomical but the lack of any form of violent protest made that in some way justifiable.  Security costs money and in this unpredictable and unstable world it is worth every penny. I am just reassured that we still have the people who can keep us safe.

I have been a constant critic of elements of the Metropolitan Police who favour diversity over direction but yesterday was a great success for the country and so credit is due to everyone concerned.
In my opinion Margaret Thatcher was the last British Prime Minister who brought pride back to the country.  It is therefore fitting that the event which restored some pride to this beleaguered nation should be her final farewell.

Just one sour note for me. When we saw the politicians lined up it reminded me of probably the most prolific rogue's gallery in the history of the nation.  All the europhiles who stabbed her in the back had the temerity to attend. They were joined by so many who have subsequently and regularly sold the country down the river.
In a normal world the stench would have been overpowering!

Will Next Wednesday Herald Armageddon for Londoners?

Will we see a repeat of this?
I am concerned that the State Funeral of Lady Thatcher will be used as an excuse for thousands of feckless young people to descend on the capital and repeat the activity where pictures of London in flames were flashed around the world.

Margaret Thatcher became one of the most controversial political figures in modern history.  Her state funeral will be used as an excuse for protest by very many socialist organisations.  I agree with peaceful protest but we all know that it won't stop there! Groups like 'Black Bloc' see themselves as political vigilantes who are not happy until they have caused damage.

I understand that all police leave has been cancelled on that day and that many are being drafted in to maintain security but it will never be enough.  The TSG (Territorial Support Group) are only ever effective facing people who do not fight back.  When they are faced with a violent, hardened, group of activists they will probably be discovered up a side street doing a risk assessment.  You will remember their absence during the previous riots in London!

This is the excuse that the left wing activists have been waiting for and they will use it.  I predict mayhem again!  They will focus on this event and even the troops lining the route could become targetted. 

The social antipathy that exists within our society today when no politician wants to take a 'harsh' decision means that vigilante gangs exist in all major cities.  The police do not 'police' anymore and increasingly give the impression of being social workers that mop up after the crimes have been committed. I realise that this is a sweeping statement and that we do have brave police officers but they don't always get the opportunity to face the criminal.

It is with this in mind that I would have limited the size of the funeral and made it much more low key. This would be in the interests of common sense because of the potential of serious danger when so many people are hell bent on Armageddon! I do hope that I am wrong.

Margaret Thatcher RIP

The death has been announced of Margaret Thatcher, who in my opinion was the last time that this country had a proper leader.  Unlike any of her successors she really did bat for Britain and actually put this country back on the map following the rise of a sordid socialist class of europhiles which were threatening to bring the country down.

They have of course succeeded since she left office because nobody in the Conservative party has come anywhere near to filling her shoes.  Most of them have followed the easy route to success by jumping on the EU bandwagon which pays them to be good little boys and girls.

It takes courage to be a conviction politician and defy the bullies. They eventually won and history will record the people who sold this country out to the European Union and treacherously removed her from office in a cowardly backstabbing. We all know who they are and how much they hate this country.

She is hated by the left because she kicked them all around the country.  Their hectoring rhetoric, their dogma and outmoded mantra lost every time she swung her handbag.  We are still waiting for her replacement and just perhaps he is on the sidelines waiting for the May elections.  This country is waking up to the dangers of the bankers, the Unions and the EU.

In 30 minutes I shall disappear to my local and quietly raise a glass to the last great Britain.  For a famous period in history she wiped the floor with the array of traitors that surrounded her.

RIP Maggie!

The Leveson Enquiry

Slowly, almost ponderously, this Enquiry is uncovering the truth. The many and varied links that all our politicians had to News International. The squalid deference that all our leading politicians paid to the Murdoch Empire and now the cover up. The frantic attempts to deceive the public that they did not set up a bomb proof avenue for News International to gobble up BSkyB.

Anybody who has read my scribbles will not be surprised that I am delighted that the fan is whirring and the sticky stuff is randomly being distributed around the corridors of power. It is obvious to anyone vaguely interested that David Cameron has been closely linked to the Murdoch Empire and I believe it will do for him.

He is a smooth operator. Unfortunately if his personal credibility is destroyed and he is soon to face the beak at the Leveson Enquiry then what next for politics in this country? Will it seriously be back to the Miliband geek and the 'muttering idiot'? If so then get ready for utter devastation.

Having said that what has changed under this EU supporting Coalition government? They are borrowing more per annum than the Brown government did so that they can pay their dues to the EU. Immigration still flows unabated and accordingly the crime rate rises even though a criminal is allowed to commit up to 15 crimes before he is allocated a bed in one of our luxury prisons.

The people who have allowed this to happen are tainted at every level. They have already proven that they are corruptible so it is no surprise to discover that many of our leading politicians actively supported News International in their business enterprises. In their world money is 'God' and morals are regarded as weakness. Integrity has no place in modern British politics.

I don't think we have had one leading politician against 'modernisation' (changing the face of the nation) since Margaret Thatcher was deposed by her traiterous colleagues. It would now appear that she was almost the last of the conviction politicians prepared to put country first!

Wow!


This is Meryl Streep portraying Margaret Thatcher in a film soon to be released. It is a stunning likeness and hopefully the film will live up to the hype. The Iron Lady was flawed but she was courageous. She tackled every problem head on, she represented the British people (I know that she confronted the Unions) and I just wish that we had her ilk today.
