The Libdems were never destined for power. They never expected that they would be occupying ministerial limousines but they grabbed the opportunity and now they are paying the price. I suspect that for short term gain they will pay the price at the hustings.
Nobody will ever trust them again. Their activists are particularly aghast at the lack of trust which Clegg has demonstrated but then what about the Tory activists? David Cameron has suddenly dropped so many of the Tory policies and has abandoned all the Eurosceptic promises.
So what do we have on our political horizon? We have Labour who have been totally discredited by their abysmal economic performance which must never be repeated; we have LibDems who have sold their heritage down the river for a sniff of power and we have Tories who will not address the most desperate worries of their avid supporters.
To be honest none of them kept any promise. They were so dishonest that the whole General Election was a joke. Probably the only honest party were the BNP and we all knew what they stood for. The problem was that their leadership was so flawed that they had no chance of credibility. The same goes for UKIP who stand for a split from Europe but precious little else.
So what happens to the voter who wants the middle class, middle of the road, honest non racist decent citizen who pays taxes and has no preconceived aggravation towards anyone or anything? You know the normal, Caucasion, law abiding citizen who still make up (so far) the vast majority of the population.
The answer is that nobody cares about us. We pay for almost everything and yet we have no voice. I know that this is true because I hear it daily from all my friends and colleagues. I heard on my recent cruise, down my bowling club, through my British Legion membership and in my own living room.
We the payers, the people who puggy up (who cannot even rely upon a fair and honest tax system) have no voice in Parliament. None of the political parties represent us. Yes they represent all of the majority groupings like for example the Unions, the Students, the Bankers and the Businessmen but ...who represents us..the honest citizen?

Education and the BBC
This morning the BBC continued its campaign to criticise any attempts by The Coalition to introduce standards back into our education system. I sometimes think that the BBC are the official opposition where so many government matters are concerned. They continually support left wing policies that have failed despite huge sums of money being invested into them.
As usual the BBC invited a serving headteacher to lead the attack on the proposed changes which was tantamount to giving one of the perpetrators of our great education fraud a platform to defend himself. It is people just like him that have put into place a system which limits the opportunites of the poorest in society. They dumbed down the exams and enhanced grades to such an extent that the hardest working and brightest kids find it difficult to rise above the general mediocrity.
The BBC are in danger of showing their hand because instead of being a national institution they are rapidly descending into a force that could be
widely regarded as anti UK. A dangerous game for an organisation which relies on public money to fund its jaundiced activities.

Education
Apparently the Education Minister, Michael Gove, is tomorrow reintroducing testing for children. He also has other plans to challenge the education establishment which are long overdue.
Already the education battalions are drawing up their battle lines to maintain the very principles which have hindered the education of our children for far too long. Yesterday morning the BBC (who else) brought on an Executive Head Teacher (a what?) from an Inner City school to endorse the very principles of education which have ruined our kids. He is Sir William Atkinson and the web site of his school typically endorses all the NoLab rhetoric which is designed to keep poor kids poor.
Michael Gove has a hard road to plough but I look forward to my granddaughters being much better educated than their mother. I look forward to testing without parent input and I look forward to competitive sport. I look forward to the bright being acknowledged and the less bright being given a challenge. Aspiration must be reintroduced to the education system.
The lefties will howl with rage but I suspect that Michael Gove already knows that. Many people have positions to protect. Many should and I hope will be sacked but the important aspect of this change in policy will be that our kids will be given a much better education. An education free of political indoctrination.

A Blank Sheet
It was probably just an unfortunate lapse but then when you lead a political party you should pay attention to what you say. Ed Milliband, who has been busier changing nappies recently than leading his party, declared that when discussing future party policies he would start with 'a blank page'.
Well no surprise there then! Many of us reckon that it just about sums up the contribution of the NoLab leadership in recent years. They continually chunter on criticising The Coalition but they have completely run out of ideas. That is the problem with socialists, if they have to stop spending money that they haven't got, then they are clueless.
Now the books are being written spilling the beans about all the poisonous backbiting which the socialists are famed for. They are still fighting like ferrets in a sack and I suspect that Ed Milliband will have to watch his back at every turn.
I really don't know how they do it. Nobody actually seems to like anyone else and yet they smile blandly pretending that they are all on the same side. They spend so much time plotting against each other that they don't have time to achieve anything. Their whole philosophy is so vaccuous that it is laughable and yet so many people cannot recognise how bad they are.
I have to laugh because now that they are out of power they all jump on the bandwagon. There is a serialisation currently being aired in 'The Daily Mail' exposing the plotting that didn't happen behind Gordon Brown's back! Apparently they all agreed (possibly after a few glasses of socialist champagne around at Hattie's pad) that Gordon was useless and had to go. Fair enough even they got that bit right but how could they do it and who does it?
This is the funny bit! Jack Straw bottled it (Ha!). Mad Hattie arranged it and then ducked under the table and they all left it to Pat Hewitt and Geoff Hoon to be the fall guys! Of course the plan failed as it was always destined to do because Gordon frightened the 's**t out of them. Well he was rather unpredictable and he did employ an army of thugs to watch his back.
Do you know if a talented scriptwriter wrote a parody about the NoLab party it would be regarded as being too far fetched. This is the party of the working class, the party created by courageous men and women to improve the lives of the poor people and they all end up quaffing champagne at Mad Hattie's pad!
My grandfather would rather have died at the Somme. My father would never believe the shame of this bunch of upper class twits and lower class thugs. The Labour movement is no more but how does one convince people who don't want to think about it?

The European Union and its currency
Anybody who regularly visits this blog will know that I am an implacable enemy of the EU mainly because I see it as a socialist conspiracy. We were all conned into voting for it originally as it was presented as a Common Trading Market and it has since developed into a monster, swallowing huge sums of money which cannot be traced.
It has never passed an audit which I believe actually makes it illegal and yet so many of our politicians want you to believe that if you oppose this ridiculous union then you must be quite close to committing treason. We have never been granted a referendum on any of the changes which led to the political union and if any member state votes against it they are either ignored or told to vote again.
I cannot believe how they get away with it! But hold on... the Euro appears to be in real trouble thanks to some of the weaker member states who have actually wrecked their economies like socialists always do. Greece and Ireland are having to be bailed out by other member states (well Germany and the UK actually) to the tune of billions and billions!
Now way back in the last century Margaret Thatcher actually told anyone who would listen that a common currency for a variety of countries who had vastly different economies was not viable. Every man and his political dog rushed to denigrate her opinion and lo and behold she was right!
We, the British public, having just been forced to accept probably the worst cuts in our public services in living memory, thanks to our own socialists, are now being told that, as a member state, we must bail out Ireland even though we are not in the euro! It is amazing how the British puggy up every time someone fouls up.
You will remember that the Irish actually voted not to join the EU but were told to vote again until they got it right. Now they are paying the price for their weakness because once they have accepted the inevitable they cease to exist as an independent country. What price Irish heroes now? All that murder, torture and criminality for nothing. Perhaps the relatives of Captain Nairac and so many other dead British soldiers will raise a glass.
There will be much more of this but the more compelling question is whether the western economy will survive? I find it unbelievable that all these rich countries are being brought to their knees by some kind of weird banking crisis. It just isn't credible. Somebody is engineering a megacrisis from above. Don't ask me who is pulling the strings but please don't meekly accept what the politicians tell you.
Ever since the EU came into existance we have been under attack. Human Rights, Mass Immigration, Crooked Bankers... it only happens to us. If we need a public service it is never available but when the politicians want a service it is always available...through the EU of course. Get real folks!

I got Reviewed...!
Wow! I got reviewed by someone who looks at blogs and accordingly thought of this crazy little hobby as something worth commenting on. I really am quite chuffed because it began as an antedote to the frustration that consumed me whenever I saw the greed, the corruption and the arrogance of the Political Class.
I was spawned as a child of a socialist family. My family were Clydeside communists and my beloved grandfather was almost a founder member of the Independent Labour Party. As such he was a genuine conscientious objector but when push came to shove he was eventually forced to join the Cameronians where he was the only member of his school class to survive the Great War.
My great grandfather won a silver kettle for being the best marksman in The Cameronians; a regiment known for marksmen. I still have the medal and the inscribed kettle. I served for 25 years with the Royal Artillery and the Intelligence Corps and my son was a Paratrooper.
My family have served this country and so I believe that I have a right to comment on the utter depravity which pervades our so called Political Class. My review describes this blog as not for the f(e)aint hearted but then I only tell it as it is. I have no axe to grind and all my friends who read my ramblings have yet to blank me.
Indeed I am the President of my local bowls club (for the second time) so I have some measure of respect in my local community. I really appreciate that someone somewhere has stumbled across my personal attack on the people who are trying to destroy the freedom that my granddaughters should enjoy.
The day that they can leave their front door and play in the streets like I did then that will be the day that I stop shouting. What kind of society have we created that imprisons our children? Why in our so called democratic society can our children not run free? That is the crucial question which should face our Political Class.
Our Political Class have actually created a society where our children are imprisoned and yet nobody will address this question. Will someone please address it? When my beloved youngsters can leave their front door, protected by the police, protected by the government and protected by our pathetic judicial system then I will rest peacefully.
Until then you bastards I will expose everything that you hold dear. This has always been the purpose of this blog! Comments are welcome!

How can he be found not guilty?
Do you remember the case of the Wiltshire custody Sergeant who lost his temper and bodily threw a woman into a cell after dragging her across the station floor? He was videoed on CCTV and the outcome was that her face was bashed in when she landed on the cell floor. My Gawd we could see the blood drippin onto the cell floor!
The whole episode shocked anyone who watched it because frankly it was abuse of power. Even his police chief condemned the act and openly stated that the sergeant would lose his job.
Well we forgot that this is Britain 2010 and even this guy could appeal and guess what...I know that you don't need me to tell you... he was cleared and can continue to bully the public. Disgust is too polite a word! What kind of judge could watch that video and then decide that the custody sergeant was not guilty of absolutely crass behaviour?
When will The Political Class realise that this kind of judgement offends any decent minded person? Will it ever end?
