Yes I know that I can be termed a conspiracy theorist but come on...who decided that dredging the rivers should cease? Who decided that adequate drainage should be abandoned? How is this linked to EU directives?
Why has the crucial funding for flood defences meant that the normal measures that for years have defended the properties of the people close to our rivers suddenly disappeared.
I don't trust any government authority. I always believe that in this day and age it is us, the people, against them, the government. So when people are desperate enough to sell to anyone who will buy; what will stop the 'bandits' from buying up farms and homes and then ensuring that the normal defences against flooding are reinstated.
Just a thought!
We live in precarious times. We are under attack from extreme weather which will always challenge our government. If they are competent and well organised then clearly we will have no complaints. If however they have been incompetent and profligate then bad weather will be the first indicator.
So if you have invited, allowed or demanded that millions of foreign immigrants invade your country without a second thought about how you will cope with them then surely housing will be a priority? So what did they do? They built on the flood plains, particularly in the very attractive south-west and now we have oodles of problems.
We also have a vital rail link to the south west which passes through Dawlish. This link is so important that it had to be protected. So who thought that such an important rail link would be destroyed by bloody weather? They are prepared to spend huge sums of money on a High Speed Railway but then fail to protect links that we depend on!
You would think that with thousands losing their homes and businesses that PM's Question Time would concentrate on solutions to the crisis but no they were more interested in the lack of women on the government's front bench. Ths sight of them going apoplexic at this non event was distasteful to say the least. Where is common sense when you need it?
We all know that this unusual weather is unpredictable but if a government is competent then we should fear nothing
I have long thought that the world would be a much more peaceful place without people I have dubbed 'regime changers'. There is little doubt in my mind that the Intelligence Services of the United States cause more problems than any other grouping.
Unfortunately we, as a country, have been linked into many of their nefarious projects by what is euphemistically termed a 'special relationship'. That means that when they say 'jump' our politicians generally reply 'how high'. Only a total cock up stopped us being forced into a war with Syria.
Now a business couple who were caught up in the Libyan war are telling their story. I have never heard of them but every word that they recount rings true. Of course if what they say is indeed true then surely David Cameron becomes our second PM to warrant the term 'war criminal'. If you lie down with dogs you get fleas!
It is not the first time that I have written on this subject. I had my suspicions two and a half years ago
The By-Election at Wythenhurst and Sale East is hotting up. This is normally a safe Labour seat and has been so in modern history but it would appear that UKIP are beginning to call a spade a shovel!
Sooner or later, even the most intractable of the Labour supporting public has to realise that they are being taken for a ride by the multi-millionaires from Islington. Once the deck of cards comes tumbling down then UKIP are waiting to fill the void.
The next year or so could be very interesting if UKIP can get enough people onto the streets to take the message to the public. I will watch with interest at how low and dirty the BBC, the rest of the controlled media and the Westmonster politicians will stoop to in order to hold onto power. It will be bare knuckle that is for sure.
In the early years of the twentieth century a guy called Keir Hardie founded what is today the Labour Party. It was a party founded to represent the people, the working class. against the tyranny of the aristocracy and the industrial bosses who ruled their businesses with a ruthless efficiency.
Since that day the working class have clung to the hope that the Labour Party and their own Trade Unions would represent their interests at parliamentary level. They have been sadly disillusioned because since Tony Blair arrived, the Labour movement has been run by multi-millionaires most of whom have never done an honest day's work and would not recognise honest toil if they fell over it!
So having said that who exactly is representing the British worker? It cannot possibly be people like the Milibands, Ed Balls or Harriet Harman because they chill out in Islington which is a million miles from pits, steel works or muck and brass. They are clueless when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of industry.
Since Keir Hardie nothing and nobody has emerged to challenge the authority of government. Consequently we now have a one party state with all three major parties manipulating the system to contain any rebellion from the people. We all know that the British people want a referendum on our membership of the EU but all three major parties refuse to allow it because they would lose which brings me to the point of the post.
When all three major parties are colluding to rule the country for the benefit of influential groupings like industrialists, bankers, Bilderbergers and the European Union then just who is representing us the people?
Step forward Nigel Farage and UKIP. This is the first party to have made any inroads into the power game and the stranglehold that the puppet politicians have on British politics. In the last few years UKIP has picked up votes from all across the political spectrum as the electorate turn against mainstream politicians. UKIP could now be on the verge of a breakthrough which could eventually bring power back to Westmonster from Brussels and give 'the people' a voice once again.
The forthcoming European elections may be a marker which could measure the support for UKIP nationwide. If they do as well as predicted then the 2015 elections could be the most significant for many a year because at last the people have a party that does not represent the interests of the lobby group.
Sorry folks I must apologise. I closed the blog down for January so that I could take Mrs Meldrew to the Caribbean on a cruise! I did actually announce it in a comment but then if it does not interest you then you will have missed it. Sorry...even my American cousin was asking what has happened?!
You have all surprised me because I only began this blog to rant and apparently I am not ranting alone. Let me tell you about the cruise. We left Southampton on 02 January and we were immediately pitched into a storm. We endured 60 hours of Storm Force 10 or worse before we arrived at Madeira.
Our tour guide in Madeira was a German lady with a keen sense of humour who informed us that Portugal was at the mercy of the EU and the elderly in Portugal were drawing a pension of 240 euros a month. In addition the Madeirian bananas did not qualify to EU standards so their natural fruit had been ignored!
We then sailed for the Caribbean under quite a lot of cloud and docked at Barbados. Our tour guide was great. He explained the education system in detail which frankly mirrored the British education of the 1950's. Consequently they had retained the eleven plus and their smartest kids qualified for scholarships to leading universities regardless of background.
Their kids all wore school uniforms, parents were punished for the truancy of their kids and surprise, surprise, crime rates are very low! In the classroom the teacher is still in control, children are taught respect and society benefits.
Barbados appears to be an exception because elsewhere there is a lot of poverty and the Chinese are avidly propping up some islands by building properties like hospitals. Generally benefits are not paid but essential food stuffs grow everywhere so nobody starves.
Back here nothing changes. An MP introduces a commonsense Bill to prevent foreign criminals from using the Human Rights nonsense to remain in this country thus retaining the threat on the streets and predictably the LibDems and Labour think that it is a good idea.
As usual David Cameron, the corporate leader of the country, proved that he is in office but not in power by having to rely on opponents to stifle any common sense from his back benchers who clearly are concerned about the threat emanating from UKIP.
The next time some foreign thug murders an innocent Brit then just remember that Mr Miliband thinks we should keep him in one of luxury prisons at our expense for as long as he likes before releasing him back into the community probably to repeat the process. I cannot understand such treachery!
The New Year across the world has continued on the same theme of the previous year. Hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on fireworks whilst people are apparently starving in Africa despite the huge input of Foreign Aid!
I intend to change my life in 2014 and become a UKIP activist. It is very easy to sit here at the keyboard and pontificate but I have got to get up off my arse and DO something. Locally here in Leicestershire the political party UKIP is quite weak but we have a man who is trying to correct that.
A few enthusiasts are quietly meeting and we are plotting to upset the apple cart. We are going to attack Loughborough and meet the public. We are going to demonstrate to the people that there are people out there who care about this country.
I am really enthused by this because I think that the only way to prick the conscience of the public is to demonstrate commitment and enthusiasm. We will pleasantly be in the faces of people hoping to make them think about politics. I don't know how many years that I have left on this planet but I have to do something to protest about the Con/Lab/Lib conspiracy where they support the multinational corporations against the public.
They are all at it! The Labour front bench is bloc-a-chocked with champagne socialists, the Tory modernisers are all Liberal/Socialists and the Lib Dems are...well...ahem...a bunch of social misfits! Bent, twisted, perverted, weird, criminal and traiterous the Lib Dems will be demolished in the polls because the public has recognised that they are not batting for Britain and never will!
So that is my New Year resolution. I want to make a difference. In my declining years I want to try and make a change. I may fail but at least I have tried.
So on that note may I wish anyone who stumbles across this humble blog a very Happy New Year!
