Beyond doublethink: the bizarre world of David Cameron and British politics



The infamous New Labour of Tony Blair introduced the Human Rights Act (HRA) in 1998 enshrining 15 rights one of which is the Right to Life.

I am not sure about you but I always thought a "right" was absolute without exceptions, however that is not the case and through politics we end up with the following.

It's OK to kill 198,000 would be Britons every year simply because they are mostly an inconvenience (European Court of Human Rights ruled that foetuses are not covered by the HRA - do you think that's because they are not human or not alive?).

However, it's not OK that children of other countries may die and so David Cameron spends £11.7bn on international development. That works out at £59,000 per Briton killed.

Apparently, it's also OK for you to be early to the Pearly Gates when life saving treatment is withheld due to lack of resources. What  isn't clear is whether two illegal wars, two regime changes, payment of benefits to millions of economic migrants, the sale of national assets at an under value (sadly Brown's bottom springs to mind at this point and is a truly horrible image) and the bailout of the failed banks are reasonable uses of resources or the cause of the premature deaths of Britons purely for the egos of people like Blair and Cameron. 

Oh yeah almost forgot you dying early due to lack of resources is also OK if said resources have been used keeping murderers, terrorists and other criminals alive and behind bars. I told you it's bizarre. You can die because the HRA expressly forbids the execution of criminals.

But dying early due to lack of resources doesn't cover the situation where doctors kill you through lack of food and water as in the Liverpool Care Pathway. Or where the doctors and nurses kill you through negligence / incompetence. Remember Mid Staffs?

So by now you're thinking that if you survive the womb and the medical profession your life is yours huh? Absolutely not. If you have a terminal illness you have no right to die so therefore your life is not yours as confirmed by the MP's vote this month. 

The police killing you is also an exception to the right to life although they are not supposed to. The only question after that is how does the Met police then end up with its own "serial killer"?   

David Cameron's Government has extended the exceptions to the right to life by the recent death by drone of two ISIS members that had previously lived in Britain, which brings the estimated total of deaths by drone to 10 or more.

So the Right to Life does not exist unless you are a criminal or a migrant and if you are British your life isn't ever really yours. Welcome to Britain please start committing non-violent crimes as soon as possible. What a farce!

Fiscally Incontinent, Morally Bankrupt, Ideologically Corrupt



Is this really Britain? The Britain of my birth had some values and principles that were instilled in us and that's how we lived. Respect, loyalty, honesty, trust, responsibility, competence were words that meant something. Now you would be hard pressed to find people who know what they mean let alone abide by them. If we wanted things we saved up for them and then bought them and not just added them on to the credit card on a whim. Debt is king and savings are bad.
This general decline in Britain has been led by our political parties and supported by pretty much every facet of society. The media has been cheerleading every dumb policy that the politicians fronted. Organisations as diverse as unions to think tanks and big business to public servants have reduced British society to an international farce.
We have over a million victims of child abuse because the police, social services and politicians were, and are, more interested in maintaining the meme that multiculturalism works and diversity is good instead of protecting children.
Labour, Lib Dems and Conservatives are falling over each other to varying degrees to hide the facts over Cyril Smith, the alleged Westminster based paedophile ring and what Tony Blair et al enhanced to justify the Iraq war. That's just three scandals that in the past would have led to politicians resigning in disgrace but not anymore.
The City of London has been left to run riot to grow banks that cannot be allowed to go bankrupt. Mega pay packets are the order of the day. Rigging markets and money laundering is de rigueur and if they get caught the bankers are guaranteed not to go to prison.
Whilst this has been going on our MP's have been working hard to ensure national bankruptcy leading to the end of the welfare state and the NHS. Simultaneously, the housing market has been pushed to another price bubble by the Conservative's Help to Buy Scheme, near zero interest rates and money laundering. Also, in the mix wealth inequality has continued to increase.
After all that you would think the politicians would need a rest? But no they are working hard on getting a hat trick of foreign failed states - Libya, Syria and Ukraine.
And all this happened because 26m people in the UK voted LibLabCon. So when you come to vote on 7 May you have a choice. Vote LibLabCon and we will get more child abuse, more poverty and more injustice and it will be down to you.
Alternatively, if we want a better society with real values we need to stop voting LibLabCon. It's your choice.
