In a recent speech their leader desperately
tried to put on a brave face, claiming that in Coalition they were a check on
the Tories. Holding them back from doing dastardly things and honouring their
commitment to the poor and the needy by streamlining the welfare budget.
Helping the unemployed get off benefits and back into work. Such a nice man
Nick Clegg! Sounded like he really cared, that is till you remember what he’s
been doing for the vampire-like George Osborne. Poor Nick! No-one believes you anymore. With the stuff you’ve got coming out
of your mouth and what your Liberal Democrat Cabinet colleagues are getting up
to for the gangsters of finance and the energy supply racketeers you’re walking
the Green Mile to the next General Election where you’ll be zapped.
Let’s look at it a bit closer. All the good
things they’d like Joe Public to think they’re doing. And by the way, the old
pseudo-liberal-lefty image of dungarees, protest and earnest reformism has
gone. If it was ever honestly there in the first place! Ditched down the tubes
the minute these opportunist creeps got a smell of Government and the smart
ministerial cars that went with it! Anyone heard of the millions of people
freezing in fuel poverty this Winter? Please don’t worry! Ed Davey, Lib-Dem
Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change is on the case! Around the
time Clegg was making his speech he appeared on television to tell us that
there was nothing he could do about energy price rises but that competition
between suppliers would help lower prices!
That’s lying at best. There’s plenty he can
do about energy price rises if he wanted to. And he knows only too well that
there’s NO SUCH THING as competition between suppliers. It’s a myth that only
goes down with the brain dead. The energy providers together with the commodity
brokers at the banks have been fixing prices for years and it’s just been revealed
in the Guardian that soon after Coalition Government got underway, these
self-same banks and energy suppliers such as Barclays and Centrica, parent
company of British Gas, began having very regular meetings with Ed Davey and
his Department.
BUT THEN IT GETS EVEN BETTER! THESE ENERGY
SUPPLIERS AND BANKS HAVE GOT THEIR OWN PEOPLE WORKING DIRECTLY
FOR THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT RUN DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. That means Centrica and Barclays
people working for Ed Davey and his Department who get a salary from the
taxpayer!
To put it in a nutshell, the companies
supplying you with gas and electricity and putting up your bills on a regular
basis to make huge profits for their shareholders have their own people working
for the Liberal Democrat in charge of Energy, a man who comes on television and
tells us that there’s nothing he can do about the price rises. Indeed, with two
dozen or more of these people working for you Ed and telling you what to do you
already know that all your talk about competition is meaningless. Something you
trot out for public consumption because you think people are daft enough to
believe you!
But then isn’t Ed also the Green Energy Mister Big? Doing his
Liberal Democrat bit to save the planet! You’d better believe it because every
time he says Green you know your
bills are going up year on year to pay for the smoke coming out of the
factories of India. Those good old Liberal Democrats! Every time one of them
uses the phrase carbon footprint you
know they’ll taking a tenner out of your pay packet and pissing it up the
Ganges.
Well that’s the Liberal Democrats and
Energy. These people won’t do anything about your bills spiraling out of
control because they’re working with the energy supply cartel to make it all
happen. But then who’s actually running the country for God’s sake?
The Liberal Democrats claim they’re working
for you. Doing their best!
Oh yes, they’re the Great Pretenders…
Pretending that they’re doing well... They seem to be what they’re not, you
see… Pretending they’re really doing something about British banking casino
practices given all the assurances of that good old radical reformer Vince
Cable before and after he came into Government. After all the mouth he gave
promising to reform their worst dodgy-spiv activities over the last two and a
half years what has he actually done? What concrete proposals has he presented
that legally stop their activities? What cast iron ring fences have been put in
place to separate absolutely the jack the lads in the City of London from the
High Street? How many dirty practices has he caged so that the money of
ordinary bank customers is protected? Well the fact of the matter is that
despite all his blustery chit chat there’s actually nothing cast iron at all!
But then he assures us… it will all take
time!
It’s all so very Liberal Democrat… talking
it up. Making out that it’s all looking good. Talking nothing up and trying to make it look something! So very Liberal Democrat. Talking up nothing! He’s done
nothing at all to reform the banks has poor Vince, the nation’s favourite
scarecrow. He’s gone all quiet now that Tory Chancellor George Osborne’s put
him back in his box. So what did all the reforming Liberal Democrat talk amount
to in the end? Nothing! It just made them look good.
But oh my word, the old reformer has been
busy with other things. He’s been out and about for the Tories. Doing his bit
for business by attacking worker’s rights at Industrial Tribunals, making it
much easier for companies to sack workers who now have far less chance of
redress against unfair dismissal. This is a direct attack on the rights of
working people and on the Trade Union Movement on behalf of big business and
how they love him for it. Liberal? Democratic? Please don’t come across with
all that Liberal crap Vince. Nobody believes you anymore. You’re walking the Green Mile along with all the rest of your gang that
signed up for Coalition with the boot boys.
And how about Ginger. Sorry I mean Danny
Alexander, George Osborne’s favourite poodle. You see Danny is different! He
really believes in it all! He’s bought the whole package and convinced himself
that he’s saving everyone’s soul from the meanies. No harm in that really. I
mean being so self-deluded. He rightly points out that the whole economic
crisis was facilitated by Gordon Brown and the Parliamentary Labour Party in
which Ed Miliband by the way was a main player, and everything he’s doing now
will somehow remedy the disaster. Indeed, that he had no alternative but to
chuck in his lot with the Tories. Oh really? Alas, there’s another side to it
all. If Liberal Democrats ever actually had any values and principles, any
foundation to their views grounded in a bedrock of ethics, it all got chucked
out the window when Danny Boy went the whole Tory hog. Never mind who caused
the crisis, all he can think of is who’s the easiest target to pay for the
damage?
They weren’t so hard to find. Best to
attack the welfare benefits of the sick and the poor than the bonuses and
spoils of the financial traders. Attack the welfare state fallback for the most
vulnerable in our society rather than the champagne and oyster tarts of the
City. No problem there! Nobody to speak up for the poor, certainly not the Labour
Party! Just say they’re lazy. Demean them by calling them work-shy. It’s
something he rightly understands. Demean those who are the most vulnerable in
our society and make them a target. Then they’re even more vulnerable! Fodder for
the media vultures, the creeps who hack into the phones of the dead and the
dying. And there we are. The real consequences of Liberal Democrat values. Talk
that makes them look good. Action that hurts the most needy. How can anyone
ever be fooled by these people again?
Ah yes, but let’s not forget the recent
activities of Jo Swinson, Liberal Democrat Minister of Employment Relations.
Such a nice lady. Doing so much to help the economy along! Her recent caper has
been to halve the redundancy consultation period… the time employers are
required to consult with workers before laying them off. Now down from ninety
to forty-five days. The employer organizations have welcomed it with delight.
It leaves working people desperately vulnerable to job loss. Not only losing
their livelihoods but it’s also the precious time they need for getting their
lives back together that’s been taken away. Thanks to the oh so very liberal
Jo, Britain now has some of the easiest hire-fire regulations in Europe. It’s what Britain needs to make employment
more flexible these Liberal Democrats chant. But then of course they’re
chanting it in the same choir as the Tories.
But then in Coalition Government, as Nick
Clegg would point out, they’re all choirboys and girls together.
NO
REAL SEPARATION OF VALUES BETWEEN THE TWO PARTNERS! So despite all the Liberal Democrat talk they’re not too worried
about who they climb into bed with. They’re shacking up with a gang of dirty
old rascals and can’t pretend to be innocent good hearted virgins anymore.
They’ve sold themselves cheap and dirty and all their talk about doing it for
the good of the country is a plain lie.
PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. WE ARE THE COUNTRY AND YOU ARE NOT DOING IT
FOR US SO AT THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION YOU’RE TOAST.
And now, one little postscript to bring it
all home. A story from the City of Bath where the Council is controlled by our
good friends the Liberal Democrats! And guess what they’re up to…
The City has a rugby club, Bath Rugby,
owned by an offshore company. The club is based in the city center at The
Recreation Ground, a large part of which is leased to them by the Council.
Problem is, the whole Recreation Ground, a lovely green space right at the
heart of the city was left to the people of Bath in perpetuity for their use
and leisure by the generous descendant of the aristocratic family that once
owned the land. Just as he left so many parks, green spaces and an outdoor swimming
pool to the people of the City, so too did he give them a Recreation Ground.
Only the Council wanted part of this land
for the Rugby Club and now they both want all the rest. Having appointed a few
of their fellow councilors to act as ‘Trustees’ of The Recreation Ground, all
of whom by the way are keen Rugby Club supporters, the Council through its
‘Trustees’ have now taken decisions about the use of the full Recreation Ground
space, backed by the City Solicitors. And the decision of the ‘Trustees’ is to
lease to the Rugby Club the remainder of the Recreation Ground for the
development of a giant new stand and a large complex of bars, clubs, shops,
housing and offices.
Until now the remainder of this green space
was used by kids to play a wide variety of sports like football and hockey and for
people in general to enjoy strolling in. The vast majority of those who live in
the city center occupy flats without gardens. The Recreation Ground is very
accessible for them. The Liberal Democrat controlled Council now propose taking
this land away from them and handing it over to an offshore registered company entirely
for the use of Bath Rugby Club, something directly against the express wish of
the family who left it to the people of the City and the covenants under which
they bestowed it for the recreation and enjoyment of ALL sport by them and
their children!
But then I should also mention their Liberal
Democrat kindness. Their compassion! To compensate the people of the City for
depriving them of their precious green space they’re offering another piece of
land as a swap. It’s miles outside the center and next to a river that floods.
There’s not much access by public transport and very few facilities or
amenities. Never mind that it looks forbidding and unpleasant. That’s okay. It’s
the Liberal Democrat controlled Council’s generous offer to the people for
taking away land left to them in the center of town for their leisure and
enjoyment and handing it over for commercial development to an offshore based
outfit.
SO
PLEASE, DON’T FORGET THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS WHEN THERE’S ANOTHER ELECTION!
Truth
is on the march.
