Of course,
Cleggy will tell you that because of him and his mates everyone’s pockets are
full of cash except for all the above who lost out because of those nasty
Tories… but never mind, give him a chance and next time round he’ll fix it!
Just give him a chance and see what a difference he’ll make. Well last time
round Nick, British people didn’t vote Liberal Democrat to see you jump into
bed with George Osborne and vote for all round salary cuts. They voted for you
because of the promises you made in your Election Manifesto then immediately
broke. And right now you’re making more big promises to millions of people
without being able to give any kind of guarantee that you’ll keep them.
YOU’VE PROVED YOURSELVES TO BE LIARS BEFORE SO HOW CAN
YOU HONESTLY EXPECT ANYONE TO BELIEVE YOU?
Wait a minute!
Did I say honestly? Sorry, I made a mistake. There’s nothing honest about such promises at all, there doesn’t have
to be you know it! It’s just any old bullshit that desperate politicians, desperate
for your vote pull out of a hat thinking they can persuade you that you’re
virgins all over again and ready for shafting. Not only don’t they have to keep
any promises but there’s little to no chance of them being able to. That’s the
worst part of it with the Liberal Democrats. They know they’re a busted flush
and that just about everybody’s had it with them. That in a couple of weeks a
good half of their Parliamentary representation is going down the plug hole. It
doesn’t matter. They’re still coming out with any old porky shit in the hope
that people will have forgotten who they opened their legs for to get into
Government. Trouble is, tarts always sound like tarts let alone look like them
when they put it about and you can’t hide the dirt under the makeup. You’re
known and if the electorate has got any sense they’ll smell you a mile off.
The Liberal
Democrats are like a disease and people are savvy to that sort of thing second
time round. The promise of making it up to the public sector workers whose
standard of living they joined with the Tories to attack is only just that. A
promise they have no way of keeping. Just words! Part of the Liberal Democrat
spin by the new political whores on the block. Sorry Nick but you’ve got the
look of a deep fried Mars bar about you and there’s no way of hiding it.
Nigel Farage and
the BBC! Now here’s a delightful election cameo. If UKIP’s main man thought he
could get even half an ounce of fair dealing for his anti-EU, anti immigration
message from the terrorist friendly, liberal elitist, pro-EU broadcaster for
the British Establishment then he really needed to think again. This is a nasty
sanctimonious little outfit that thinks nothing of unconscionable bias in its
reportage on a whole range of issues. They can make claims of neutrality in
their selection of panels and audiences but most people know that they’re
carefully chosen and all of those seemingly random questions carefully prepared.
The questioning of Party Leaders is a case in point. If Nigel Farage expected
anything less than being critically talked over, continually interrupted or
having his words misinterpreted during his interview with Evan Davis then he
was deluded right from the start. What he needed to do was show resolution.
Either shut the man up or walk off the show. Instead he allowed himself to be continually
put on the defensive without being allowed to develop any argument he was
trying to make.
Alas he was too
much of a gentleman and with the BBC that’s half way to surrender. He should
have known he was in for a roughhouse and dealt with the tactics accordingly…
played the roughhouse game instead of being the earnest politician who made no
promises but said what he thought. We’ve all heard the leaders and spokesmen of
the main Parties make plenty of promises. UKIP’s Farage however has
concentrated on just a handful of key issues like immigration, defense and
membership of the EU, things that most of the others have kept hidden away
under the carpet.
Actually,
dealing with the immigration issue is of the utmost importance for this
country. It’s now running unchecked into hundreds of thousands with the dregs
of Eastern Europe arriving here on the make with opportunistic criminal
activities in mind like state benefit robbery from places like Slovakia, once
Hitler’s second most favorite Nazi State after Austria, Latvia that even today
pays its citizens who once joined the wartime Nazi SS a generous pension for
their murderous activities, and then of course there are always the Romanians,
the biggest piss-takers in Europe to say nothing of the Poles. Over a million
of them here on the make and cock of the walk with it. And quite frankly why
shouldn’t they be? They’ve been purposefully brought in by business, fronted by
the liberal intelligentsia full of ready-made excuses, to depress wages and
operate as a reserve army of labor. And you’ll barely hear the argument from
anyone else except Nigel Farage.
That’s the big
trick really… the real purpose of the European Union. Depress wages throughout
the economic bloc and make its goods competitive with those of cheap labor
south-east Asia… and do the job through the so called free movement of labor
across European borders. Forget any territorial border controls. Labor goes
where it’s cheapest with so-called New Labour lads like businessman Tony Blair
giving it a helping hand on the way. If there was ever anyone who didn’t give a
diddly squat about the economic welfare of the British working class it was
Blair. His message to millions of Poles with their eyes turned to Britain and
hot to earn a shilling was bread, let them eat cake! Shame that
the decent hardworking people of Britain should be forced to sink into the
morass of purposefully imported alien values and cultures and be forced to give
up what was once so much their own. This coming election then is a kind of last
hurrah for what was once a culturally traditional British way of life.
Ultimately, perhaps, that’s the real meaning of the Farage message. That the
British people have to wake up before it’s too late!
Natalie Bennett
of the Green Party certainly doesn’t think so. She comes to British politics
from a different direction entirely to that of Nigel Farage. Can you at all
imagine the strident dictatorship of a Green Party Government lead by Mme
Bennett? Who would be her Chancellor of the Exchequer and who her Foreign
Secretary? We haven’t seen any member of her Shadow Cabinet yet and we don’t
know anything about the Foreign policy of a Green Government towards America,
Russia or China! Why not? The Greens are fielding hundreds of candidates in the
Election. What if the British people went mad and they all won? Do you think
it’s impossible? Why, if millions of Londoners could elect a mumbling bumbling
semi-idiot like Boris Johnson to be their Mayor then anything could happen! So
you went to bed and woke next morning to find Natalie Bennett in power running
a Coalition Government with Nick Clegg. Can you think of anything that’s more
toe-curling, more cringe-worthy a proposition? A Green and Orange Coalition! Nick
Clegg in bed with Natalie Bennett. Sounds like a perfect sketch for a Newzoid!
Well what does
being Natalie Bennett mean? Well being out of power it naturally means stating
your position on a whole raft of policies some of which actually sound good; like
making the bankers whose jack the lad investments initially created the economic
crisis actually pay for it, something that HSBC is most unhappy to do. Like
guaranteeing the survival of a profits free National Health Service, reforming
the tax collection system and cutting out all the Inland Revenue sweetener
deals for the multinational corporations, scrapping university tuition fees,
renationalizing the railways and creating a national Living Wage for millions
of workers. Much of it sounds exactly what you once might have expected from
Old Labour only it comes with a whole wave of Greenery, from taking action on
Climate Change whatever that means and getting rid of most of Britain’s current
power generation facilities. Such gifts come with strictures such as promising
to promote walking and cycling to improve our health and undoubtedly sooner or
later enjoying a cigarette will be turned into a crime! Promoting cycling? All
motorists know what that means! Roads and pavements everywhere turned into a bicyclists’
dictatorship with hundreds of thousands of little two wheeler Fuhrers shouting
the odds just about everywhere. No thanks! And neither do I want to be told to
eat less meat and more vegetables.
Furthermore
Green foreign policies have a virulent downside like a nasty animosity towards
Israel bordering on anti-Semitism. Little to nothing about EU membership,
dealing with uncontrolled immigration or Islamic fundamentalist terrorism home
grown or away. There’s a big part of the dumpy little lady that’s suspect but
even so her appeal is undoubted. Many of the values she stands for are decent
and today fill a great hole in politics that was once filled by politicians
when politics was honest and such people actually cared. Much of her domestic
mileage has traction, especially with young people looking for something fresh
but have nowhere to go. Maybe that’s why 10% of the electorate will support
her. Trouble with the Greens is that some of their views are prescriptive and
the British people traditionally don’t like being told what to do.
She’s a female
figure quite unlike Nicola Sturgeon. Currently without any power she quietly
campaigns for support whereas Nicola, with overwhelming regional support, is
currently campaigning for national power. Both Party leaders have a very
different kind of appeal. That of the feisty Scotswoman is of a certainty
coming from strength; that of the Green Lady her commitment to an eclectic raft
of good causes. The appeal of the latter is nothing like that of the former.
One means business for Scotland, the other business for the universally
disaffected, as they might wish to portray themselves! Natalie Bennett is fresh
and green and highly prescriptive as fresh and green usually is. The current
Queen of Scots is hard-nosed and cute and aiming for power. She has a certain
way of swinging her hips as she prances along, something the dumpy Natalie
could never do, yet she’s as equally hostile to the Jewish State and as
fundamentally ignorant about its modern creation and character as is the Queen
of the Greens. Ignorant and bigoted as so much of the Left is these days.
It has sometimes
been said, apropos writers, that they are best known, best understood, through
their attitude towards Jews. That their attitude towards Jews is a kind of
litmus test that reveals character. Perhaps this is applicable to everyone, not
just writers. And not just Jews I think but also the Jewish State. Irrational
ignorant dislike leaves me uncomfortable with people whose views I might
otherwise find interesting or support and the same goes for the leaders of
Labour and the Liberal Democrats as it does for the Green Party and the
Scottish Nationalists. David Cameron on the other hand I firmly believe to be
free of any such prejudice.
The presentation
of these cameos are my own and express my own judgments. For example where
would the campaign of Labour Party leader be without the pervasive image of his
full, shiny set of teeth in a strangely pallid face. Given the factors that
seem to motivate the British electorate these days, especially women, image and
presentation are highly important. Maybe not quite as much as policy but
probably running it close and the Miliband teeth along with the soft sell of
the man as being caring and reasonable are all part of the carefully conveyed
smiling image. It’s safe, just as much as the conveyed images of all four of
the main Party leaders are safe. This is because they are fundamentally
unchallenged. They present themselves to the public through carefully staged
managed meetings of Party supporters or in meeting
people situations such as workplaces or NHS hospitals where they are highly
unlikely to come up against rowdy criticism or hostile questioning. In short
they and their political associates make sure that all such situations are
highly controlled and leave no room for chance difficulty. Like the personal
images presented everything is smooth and agreeable like a good healthy set of
teeth.
Nicola Sturgeon
is feisty and challenging. Clegg is above all, reasonable. Cameron in control
and reassuring and mild mannered just like any other politician who’s convinced
that he’s done a good job running the country under difficult economic
circumstances, conveying a reasonably satisfied image that he can stand on his
record. And at the end, when the time comes for people to put a cross on their
ballot paper, all these leaders will put their trust almost as much as the
image they’ve conveyed as the policies they stand for. Image is crucial to what
they are in a nutshell. The cameo of the Party leader that the voter has in
mind along with what they stand for agreeably concur with the views of the man
or woman holding the pencil then they get the vote! The carefully designed and
constructed cameo image has been important in British politics since the 1950’s
and perhaps never more so than now.
With a blurring
of policy between the Labour and Conservative Parties in recent years the
creation of sharp cameo image for this current election has been essential, as
much to show difference between the two leaders themselves as in the things
that they stand for. For Cameron it had been continuity, particularly
in the sphere of the economy. For Miliband it has been the critique of unfairness
and
a lack of justice. And into the mix comes the forthrightness and challenge
of Nicola Sturgeon and Nigel Farage along with the soft smiling integrity of Natalie
Bennett.
The choices ahead
of you are possibly the best ever yet!
