The future of our country

With the way in which the present political landscape stands - and whether or not this Parliament lasts its 5 year term - our country faces what may be called Armageddon in that at the next election the people can expect to be governed by Labour; a continuation of the Lib/Con Coalition, or a Lib/Lab Coation; or the Conservatives.


Can any reader, hand on heart, tell me exactly what the difference will be? Will we not continue to suffer the indignity of governance from Brussels? Will we not continue to suffer governance by the State? Will we not continue to suffer, as a result of the governance by the State, yet more interference in our lives? Will we not continue to suffer yet more curtailment of our freedoms?


For those of us who know that our system of representative democracy has failed and has been infiltrated by those with what may be termed a common purpose, what avenue exists for us to make our voices heard other than blogging and/or commenting on other blogs? For those of us who know that an alternative system of democracy exists - one encapsulating direct democracy and referism, or either individually - what opportunity is there for us to get our views more widely known? The only method is utilising the 'services' of the MSM - but what if the MSM does not wish to 'know', or print/repeat our views?


Where are think tanks such as the Centre for Policy Studies or the Bruges Group - organisations that have a virtually immediate access to the MSM? Where are 'independent' journalists, such as James Delingpole, Ed West, Gerald Warner or Simon Heffer - journalists who continually write about the benefits-not of the status quo? I have 'fed' them 'intros' to what are 'matters of concern' on a number of occasions, but to no avail. At the last general election I alerted them to the campaign the Albion Alliance was conducting, one in which those of us involved in that campaign attempted to email every candidate who was standing, requesting that they stood for the return of our country's independence - to no avail. I have 'fed' them 'intros' about the demand for direct democracy and/or referism - to no avail. Or have they too been 'subverted'? Or are they - as are politicians - only interested in their careers?


I am beginning to think, admittedly belatedly, that the PTB (both political and journalist) are indeed members of the same club - due, of course, to their dependence on each other. There is, of course, no point in appealing to Members of Parliament, such as Carswell, Hollobone, Cash, Bone, who are obviously 'career politicians' - likewise Hannan, an MEP - all of whom espouse 'direct democracy' without appearing to completely understand what that form of democracy actually means. Their idea of direct democracy entails no more than continuance of the status-quo, ie continuance of central control by them. Shame on all those named!


Which begs the question whether the only alternative for we the people, who are only too aware of the deficits in our democratic system, is outright, armed rebellion.


Just asking......................

A pack of fools lead by an even bigger fool

Who but fools, led by by an even bigger fool would manage to look foolish twice in one day?

A Public Relations Fiasco: On the day announcements are made that 2,500 people in our armed forces are being informed their services are no longer required, the even bigger fool, at a ceremony marking the transfer back to Brize Norton from Lynham of military repatriations, praises our armed service personnel with the words:
"I cannot stress enough the sacrifices they make for us and we cannot thank them enough for what they do. And we cannot say enough how proud we are of them and all that they do for our country."
Lies, damned lies (and no statistics: a cost/benefit analysis is constantly refused): Who but fools led by their even bigger fool would consider it normal behaviour to lie and thus mislead those they are meant to serve? The Bruges Group have just published a letter from David Lidington (Minister for Europe) to Philip Davies MP (Conservative:Shipley) in which he makes false - and thus untruthful - statements. One of these statements is a repetition of the lie that 3.5million jobs are reliant on exports to EU member states, with the Bruges Group stating that they find it surprising that a Conservative Minister is repeating that erroneous claim.

I don't find it surprising one little bit bearing in mind the even bigger fool lies - which must mean he is also content to allow his fools to lie and mislead. Not bad for a group of people who campaigned in 2010 on the need to clean up politics.
