Another David Cameron 'Promise' on the EU!

Anyone who remembers the run up to the last election will recall David Cameron assuring the British public that if they elected him he would reappraise our relationship with the EU. Many people took that as a promise to hold a referendum and voted for him accordingly.  However, if you look back on his stance on the EU he has never promised to hold an In/Out referendum.  He constantly repeats that a referendum on the EU 'is not a priority'.

Our PM has a problem. He is leading a divided party. Many of his party are traditional Tories which means that they do not believe in 'change'. Most of them however are 'modernisers' who want to change the character and the nature of this once great country and they are winning. David Cameron knows that, if his 'conservatives' leave the Conservative party then the game is up because the country will finally wake up to the fact that he personally is not actually a 'Conservative'.

So every now and then he makes another pronouncement on our relationship with the EU. His latest, made in Brazil vaguely hints that if he is reelected as PM he will, once again, renenogiate some of the powers that he has allowed to slip into the hands of the unelected commissars of the EU.  The problem is that now we are onto him.  We don't believe him because he has pulled this spoof once too often.

So let me assure you that if David Cameron ever holds an in/out referendum on the EU I will eat my glasses.  The only party that will ever grant the public a proper referendum is UKIP. The reason is that the modernisers of all parties would lose and it is as simple as that.  Even the downtrodden, dumbed down, disinterested British public still know that inherently the EU is costing us far too much and will never look after the interests of the UK.  We are only tolerated because we pay in so much.

Finally I was not surprised that, even after years of education at Eton and Oxford, David Cameron did not know the meaning of Magna Carta. The people who educated him and have supported him on his rise to high office would not recognise the principles of the Magna Carta if it bit them on the bum. It is after all the foundation of democracy in this country and you know what they've done with that!

The Spaniards are also on the Streets!

We have seen the Greeks rioting on the streets of Athens. Now we see crowds rioting on the streets of Spain. I cannot believe that our mainstream politicians continue to pour money into the toxic European Union  when they must know that failure is inevitable.  

Every mainstream politician in this country supports the European Union and yet we can see that it is a toxic brand. Today it is Greece and Spain but how long before the economies of Italy, Ireland, Portugal and even France are affected?

So then what is left? Well I guess it is the UK and Germany. Germany is the manufacturing capital of Europe with a very strong economy whilst we here in the UK cannot in some areas afford public toilets.  Try telling the Germans that they must close public toilets. 

So what is the conclusion? Do I need to spell it out yet again? Our only option...OUR ONLY OPTION...is to get behind the only party who has promised to remove this country from Europe. No that is wrong they are the only party who promise the people a referendum on an IN/OUT vote on our membership if the EU.  So most of us generally have no option than to vote UKIP!

If we do not get this referendum then make no mistake; we will eventually join the Greeks and the Spaniards because we will be starving. Our pension system will fail, our energy generation will fail so that we will eventually be brought down into some kind of Euro gutter. We will also continue to spend all our resources to keep an unelected cabal in power.

I know... put your hands over your ears, shut your eyes, gag your mouths because you are personally bomb proof! Just ask yourselves what would you do if suddenly you did not have your pensions?  Your pension money is being actively distributed anywhere else other than to you! You think that I am barmy! Think On!

Andrew Mitchell has illustrated the contempt that the Political Class has for the police, never mind the public and he is the Chief Whip! Andrew Mitchell is, according to reports, lying through his teeth and yet David Cameron is happy to keep him in position which probably sums up the Political Class. They care not a jot for the plebs!

The Education Authorities

I am appalled by the actions of the education authorities in Sussex who knew that an illegal liaison was occurring between a 15 year old and her married Maths teacher and did not inform her parents. Who are these people who think that they can wreck the lives of a family and continue in authority?

What grounds did they have to protect this stupid teacher against the wishes of the girl's family? It would appear that their affair/friendship was well known within the confines of the school and yet nobody thought that perhaps this girl needed the protection of the authorities and her parents should be informed.

What the hell is going on? Why do our so called education authorities believe that a relationship of this nature should be kept in house. Look they may be in love...they may eventually survive the test of time but...it is illegal...she is under age and her family are distraught.

My problems lie within the system. I have posted before that in my opinion sex education for teenies is too early. It just invokes curiosity. Consequently we have the highest teen pregnancy rate in Europe which is exactly what was meant to happen. It also caused an eight year old to imagine sex between her grandparents!!

In the meantime we now know that there is no transparent system within the education system to stop a liaison between a teacher and a pupil. They totally failed this girl in Sussex and her family. They knew what was happening and now she is in the system. She could become a minor celebrity!

His career is dead but then he was only weak I hope that the education authorities now feel proud of themselves, When the father of Megan Stammers was crying live on television I just hope that the head person of her school was watching and I hope that the education authorities in Sussex realise their catastrophic error. 

Do you know I don't think that they care! I posted about this a few years ago and nothing has changed.  I say this without shame but our current education is actively encouraging a break down of moral standards. 

Camp Bastion is Under Attack!

The popular perception of our mission in Afghanistan is that we are in control. The combined forces of the United States and Great Britain will always see off the rag tag bobtail peasant troops led by irregular tribal leaders. 

I remember back to the Vietnam War when there was no way that the American Forces could lose to the locals who only had a fraction of the fire power of the American forces and then suddenly the Vietcong were in Saigon and there was a state of panic. It was horrible to watch.

Our politicians and our mainstream media have suddenly become very quiet on our 'progress' in Afghanistan. We are led to believe that we still have a future in this country even though the hearses are queuing up at Brize Norton.

This evening SKY reported the destruction of five Harrier jets at Camp Bastion! What? Five prized fighters were destroyed on the ground by tribesmen armed with balloons and sticks? What is happening? We no longer have reports of our servicemen dying in futile attempts to impose an authority in the country. They are actually pinned down at Camp Bastion! 

The recent deaths have all been at our headquarters! We are losing people who are defending their HQ! Even I, an old soldier, recognises that when the enemy can penetrate your outer perimeter then the game is up. When will our arrogant and out of touch politicians realise that we are courting disaster in Afghanistan? What do they want General Custer?

Do we really want the images from Saigon where we saw locals clinging to helicopters as they left in panic?  It will happen. The game is up. I really hope that I am wrong but if this Eton educated government does not react soon then it could get a whole lot worse.
Get them out now Mr Cameron because if you don't then we could have a wholesale slaughter. It will be the final insult, the final downgrade of a national institution and the death of a country.

We are so desperate that we are even putting pregnant women on the front line. I don't apologise for that cheap remark because if you are reduced to putting women on the front line you should at least check that they are not pregnant! It is sloppy and unnecessary. It demeans the British Army and they have been placed under so much pressure. 

There appears to be so many people who are prepared to destroy the British Army which is the pillar of nationalism. That is the crux of the matter. The people who are pulling the strings are all  mainstream politicians who hate the British Army! They have good reason. The British Army has always been the bedrock of the nation. The Army is everything that we trusted. The ethos of our army is nationalism, loyalty, dependability, trust and comradeship.

If we destroy our army  then we destroy our country and we also destroy the cream of the crop. Of course that is the aim of the modernisers who occupy every important political position. David Cameron seemingly is prepared to take this risk.  That is not acceptable for the public. Our public is 100% behind the brave people manning the barricades at Camp Bastion (pregnant or not).  If the government let the army down and do not withdraw them in time then we should be on the streets!

I keep warning you!

Andrew Mitchell...Pleb!

I will never understand how people with wealth and privilege need to flaunt it. They have got it and generally it was not through their own efforts but something that was passed down to them by ancestors. In my time with the services I discovered that the people with the most class were often those highest up the social ladder.

So how could Andrew Mitchell who has often been described as a nasty little B'stard let himself and his family down by abusing police on the very week when the rank and file police had taken such a devastating hit! 

This silly little man seems to want to make a statement by riding a girl's bike with a shopping basket on the front. It is pure theatre!  They wouldn't let him through the big gate so he blew a gasket!

Clearly this oaf should not be a million miles from any government position and Chief Whip???? What has got into David Cameron? Once again his political nouse is found wanting. He is surrounding himself with people who will let him down...little men in big positions.

Mitchell denies he used the word 'pleb' but then he would wouldn't he? People witnessed the incident and let's face it he has form. His neighbours hate him and if anyone objected to Foreign Aid when he was in charge (his previous appointment) his language was scurrilous.

His nickname from his public school days, which he appears to revel in, is 'Thrasher' (the mind boggles).  These pub(l)ic schoolboys who have never had a proper job but believe that their inherent right is to f*** up the country need to be replaced. It is up to us to replace them. We can begin with Corby and vote UKIP!

Andrew Mitchell... I won't even give the silly man a label!

Education

I return to a recurring theme because in the time that I have been posting on this blog I have always believed that, apart from our membership of the EU, the education of the nation's children should be our priority. I applaud everything that Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, has done because it would appear that he is acting like a Tory Minister which is rare in this Coalition. 

He is trying to turn back the tide of mediocrity and criminality which has pervaded our education system. Year after year they have frankly 'fiddled' with the education grades whilst weakening the quality of the examinations. It is one of the worst scandals in the history of this island because it has deprived generations (probably three generations of their birthright) ...a decent education.

So what is he trying to do? He is actually trying to move education standards (in 2015) back to exam based results. No more course input from teachers or parents because the child will be placed under exam conditions. They will have to learn the skill of learning and remembering. It is what I would call really stressful! 

I agree with the whole package because it is the first test of life but I do have reservations. How can a generation of teachers weaned on a corrupt system which handed them results on a plate be qualified to teach children to pass an honest exam? Few of them in the state system have any experience of preparing children for an honest examination!

No wonder the teaching unions are yelping! They are facing a veritable nightmare. They have fought off all attempts to legitimise education in this country for decades and then suddenly they are being challenged. 

My hopes are that no longer will we see the images on the BBC featuring grinning kids celebrating their multiple 'A*' grades unless they are merited. I want to celebrate the 'A' level students who merit their 'A' grade. I want to be proud of my grandchildren if they achieve a decent, honest, 'C' grade.

If he pulls this off then Michael Gove will deserve a platform alongside Margaret Thatcher because what he is doing could be the beginning of a return to normality for the nation. Once the education system is honest then everything else will fall into place because the kids will appreciate their place in society.

For what... forty years... children have been cheated of their rightful heritage. They have been taught that cheating works. They have been taught that they don't have to put themselves out to achieve good grades. Of course those that deserved good grades suffered because they were compared to mediocrity and they knew it.

Well done Michael Gove but just where will you find the teachers to implement your ambition? Most of them will not even recognise what you want to achieve because they themselves never achieved it. Time to involve and pay a whole host of grandparents who understand your goal?

Why Can't We Change the System?

I was appalled listening to the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester explaining that bail conditions were very strict and could not be altered. Why not? He seemed more concerned about protecting the idiotic system than he was about the deaths of his officers. He calls it the 'normal course of police work'. If I was in his shoes I would be hopping mad that this system almost insists that dangerous criminals are released back onto the streets even though all the evidence suggests that it is madness.

There is much hand wringing but nobody in authority seems capable of reversing the softly, softly approach that has made our society unprotected from villainy. It must change! Every time another law officer is killed the perpetrators are known to the law. Most of them had already been identified as dangerous and yet time after time they are allowed to wander amongst us unnoticed. 

We must fight back! We must toughen up the system. At the moment our police on the streets are so vulnerable. They have little support from the legal system and at this very moment I would bet that Dale Cregan is sat somewhere smugly accompanied by a well briefed lawyer being treated with civil respect.

I know that the line police officers are sick of catching thieves and then seeing the courts releasing them back into the community. The people at fault are the senior officers who are quite happy to sit back quietly accepting a system which place the rank and file at risk but do not threaten their pensions.

I now hear that if they want to continue to question Dale Cregan then they must have permission from a judge to extend the time limit up to 96 hours. If they cannot nail him inside that time then he is released! Don't tell me that Cregan's lawyer does not know that!
Who on earth thought this up and why are the senior officer's not protesting? It is ludicrous!

What will it take to introduce a legal system which is fair and not one skewed towards the criminal? Why can we not find one senior police officer to want to protect those in danger? Are the politicians really happy with our officers being killed in the line of duty? What has happened to common sense?
