The GE: ‘Buy – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime bargain’
This election is a farce. The whole campaign has become such despicable play for ‘power’ with unprecedented attempts by LabCon to bribe the electorate – us! – with our own money that I am in danger of becoming incoherent with anger when I look at the daily reports n the MSM.
We are told by the leaders and their supporting crews that this is the ‘Brexit’ election. We are told by the MSM writers and by the ‘polling gurus’ that Leavers and Remainers are contemplating to ‘leave’ Labour or the Tories “in droves” (here and here). We read that there’s a ‘danger of a hung Parliament’ in a report (here) which shows me only that even those ‘polling gurus’ haven’t got a clue of what is actually going on.
Then we read about a proposal by a Labour “Lord”, about Corbyn himself being the latest pawn in this despicable haggling over who gets to enter No 10 after the GE (link, paywalled). The report in the DT is succinct:
“Jeremy Corbyn’s future could be up for discussion as the price of a pact with the SNP or Liberal Democrats, a senior adviser to Labour has suggested. Lord Kerslake, a long-standing ally of John McDonnell, said replacing Mr Corbyn as Labour leader could “form part of the conversation” of any confidence and supply talks in the event of a hung parliament. Sources close to Mr Corbyn were forced to issue a stern rebuke of the peer, insisting a change of party leadership was “not on the table”. ‘ (paywalled link)
Note that Lord Kerslake is not just a Labour supporter – he is ‘allied’ with Mr McDonnell who is the architect of the socialist economic ‘measures’ proposed by Labour. Lord Kerslake and his allies don’t seem to understand that replacing Corbyn is not the solution.
The unprecedented intervention of the Chief Rabbi, warning of a Labour government (see e.g. here and paywalled here) shows that the Jewish community is well aware of the dangers of a Labour win as it’s not just Corbyn but the whole party which is tainted by anti-semitism.
The latest Labour election wheeze illustrates their institutionalised racism nicely (link). Why should they worry about a few Jewish votes when they aim to grab the votes of all ‘Brits of colour’ with this proposal:
“As part of a wider review into the UK’s “colonial legacy”, Labour plans an inquiry to determine the extent of the country’s contribution to “violence and insecurity” in its former colonies. The party has already promised to formally apologise and review Britain’s role in the Amritsar massacre in 1919, when 400 civilians in the Punjab were killed by British Indian Army troops. Under the proposals, an “emancipation educational trust” would be set up to address the legacy of slavery and teach children how it “interrupted a rich and powerful black history”.” (paywalled link)
It gets worse – this comes under ‘words fail me’:
“Labour will also propose to review the under-representation of ethnic minority teachers in schools and create a “race equality unit” in the Treasury to assess the impact of Government spending on ethnic minorities. The party cited figures last night highlighting that black African teachers made up only 1.3 per cent of male teachers and 0.7 per cent of female teachers.” (paywalled link)
The reason why this proposal made me nearly splutter my coffee over my laptop is this report (link), about some BBC-promoted poet having turned down an MBE because of the ‘evil British Empire’. His choice, you might say – but then see this:
“’Your forefathers grabbed my motherland, pinned her down and took turns. They did that every day for a couple hundred years and then left her to treat her own burns.” (link)
He self-identifies as Ugandan even though he was born and raised here in the UK. It was news to me that the British Empire ‘raped’ his country 200 years ago. Is it really beyond the competence of someone like this ‘poet’ to check out the history of the British Empire, perhaps on ‘wiki’? And Labour wants people like him to teach our children? Is our school system not desperate enough already, failing our children, institutionally incapable of even teaching the simplest things?
I apologise for going on about this dreadful election campaign where one Party accuses the other of planning to waste our money – money which they don’t have – from the NHS (paywalled here and here) to the cost of Labour’s ‘referendum’ policies (here, paywalled here).
I was forced to do so because Brexit has become just one of the GE bargaining chips, a trinket worn on the lapels of the PPCs haggling for our votes. Johnson, who is aiming to get a majority, ‘promises’ to have an early Queen’s Speech on the 19th of December, to get the BRINO legislation through Parliament so we can leave on January 31st (paywalled link). That, dear friends, is his ‘Christmas Present’ to us …:
“Preparations are already under way for a Queen’s Speech next month should the Conservatives win a majority on Dec 12. MPs would be summoned to Parliament on Tues, Dec 17, when a Speaker would be elected and MPs would be sworn in before the Queen’s Speech on Thursday, Dec 19. Senior Conservative sources said Mr Johnson then plans to introduce his Withdrawal Agreement Bill for its first reading on Friday, Dec 20 – which does not involve a vote – and is considering making MPs sit the next day for the second reading of the Bill, when a debate would be followed by a vote.” (paywalled link)
Just like Labour they are already distributing the bear’s pelt before they have killed it, never mind actually caught it. The tiny snippet of EU information from Brussels’ sources, namely that we’ll have to give up our fishing waters to the EU as part of trade negotiations (here) is of course a petitesse which needn’t worry us. Meanwhile Tony Blair warned of a no-deal Brexit … just savour this:
“He said: “I have spoken to many people in Europe over the past few weeks. Not a single person believes that there is any prospect of Britain reaching agreement with Europe on this (Conservative Party) timeline, if its position is divergence on rule making. On the contrary, they assert that Europe would be vigilant to ensure there was no ‘unfair competition’, particularly around tax and regulation.” (link)
He spoke to ‘people’? I’m amazed! Read the whole thing – it’s not paywalled. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if, just before Polling Day, he’d come out with a call to vote … LibDem. Now that would be proper ‘dead cat’!
If it weren’t about the fate of our country you’d have to laugh at the farce this GE campaign has become. We’re being bribed, we’re being clobbered with ‘programmes’ wasting more of our money irrespective of who will get to sit in No 10. The election ‘strategists’ are playing power games while disregarding us.
In their opinion we are stupid and uneducated and will greedily vote for whoever gives us back the most of the dosh they have robbed us of beforehand. A bit like the EU, you might say: take £10 and give back £1 for which we must be suitably grateful …!
You might have noticed that in a miraculous way TBP has become non-existent, as far as the MSM and the strategists of LibLabCon are concerned. That’s how much Brexit, how much our Leave vote matters!
I leave you with the news that Andrew Neil of the BBC will grill Mr Corbyn tonight at 7pm. If his interview with Ms Sturgeon yesterday evening is anything to go by (‘car crash’ was one description) this should be a cracker – provided the BBC isn’t forcing him to ‘be nice’ to Mr Corbyn.
As for us – what else can we do but
KBO!

What a joke!
Colin – one ‘fact’ of yours I do refute – the Nazis confiscated all the wealth of the Jews before they were allowed to leave Germany. It was not the Zionists that pocketed it.
Beats me anyway, why should the Nation State of UK object to there being a Nation State of Israel? Or any other Nation State anywhere for that matter. Let ’em sort it out for them selves.
Now then Viv – I think you’ve cheated with the pic. That does not look to me like Britain. Look at the architecture. Even the bric a brac looks a bit ‘continental’ to me.
Thing is, Pauline, we can only use copyright-free photos, so we’re taking what we find.
I’m not particularly keen to find INDEPENDENCE Daily served with a breach-of-copyright lawsuit, so if we have to ‘cheat’ when using free images, we’ll do so.
OK Viv, was only pulling your leg. Besides I like border collies best also. (2nd = GSDs).
In theory there is a simple solution to the problem of General Elections.
How can I make it absolutely clear what the problem is?
The political party manifestos are “packages”. Pretty obvious really. All 105 pages, for example. Clearly what is not so obvious is that we are required to consent (sic) to the whole of the “package” in advance of any proper scrutiny!! So wehn we vote we have accepted it lock stock and barrel. That is the con played upon us.We have voted for 105 pages of maanifesto but have no idea what is in it . We just HOPE someone in Parliament will check it out for us? But the so-called “checkers” are ALL going to be whipped MPs who are required to toe the party line.
Why don’t we pass the choosing of the government back to the Crown, properly, not just in name and place the responsibility for choosing the best blokes/blokesses in the country as Government Ministers back on Her Majesty?
Whom so ever She chooses would have to be ratified by a FREE unwhipped House of Commons and life would carry on much as normal, except that EVERY MATTER which arose would come under the scrutiny of 650 FREE unwhipped MPs. Being a SINGLE issue they would take note of what their constituents thought and vote accordingly.
There would be no more jeering across the gangway as there would not be a party governement with a “majority”.
Her Majesty would recover the ancient right or duty to refuse any bad legislation (currently she HAS to act on the advice of the Premier Dictator). There would be no need for costly General Elections and bogus promises and sections of the MPs would face recall from time to time but not the whole House. The people could quietly get on with their lives instead of this repetitive upheaval of politcians telling us how we must live our lives through the “manifestos” they have decided we must have..
Well I must admit I suggested banning the Whipping on votes at one time. But that was back in the days – before we had experienced the latest chaos. Now I really do not know what would be for the best. Probably we do need some form of proportional representation. I do not think we need fewer elections. We should repeal the FTPA. Is it really so onerous to cast a vote?
Was it the 18th Century that Prime Minister was a term of abuse? I think it is that far back that the monarch actually chose him/her to form a government. Don’t think we can go that far.
Apropos immigration. This is a MOST important General Election as we all know.
1. I made my living (a good living) from trading with Africa and the Middle-East, plus the rest of the world, for thirty-five years.
2. I understand, and have no qualms about my family, two generation back or so, being multi-multi-racial.
3. I have lived and worked with Jewish people for over sixty years.
4. I have read most of the Koran (Quran) and speak reasonable Arabic.
5. I was in Benghazi in ’49 for two years.
6. I spent six years in the Royal Air Force (Germany and Blighty)
That’s part of my C.V.
Before anyone on this site deserts Leave/The Brexit Party or think about voting for ANY party which advocates more, or ignores reduction of immigration levels – then PLEASE, PLEASE read the site;
gatestoneinstitute.org and focus at present on 1. Sweden 2. Denmark 3. Norway and the harrowing almost catastrophic situation there.
We are on the cusp in terms of racial relations – on the cusp – time is NOT on our side.
Thanks!
Well said there Colin. And incidentally surely that is very much Gerrard Batten’s view.
Is it? Why then does he regard Islam as a death cult?
Colin – Mr Paul here. Thanks for your post.
Yes, we do appear to see eye-to-eye in many areas and equally seem to follow similar principles.
Currently I am rather ‘under the weather’ and have been for about a week (but still managed to keep my couple of art tutoring commitments – ‘old soldier’ type of ‘honour’ – silly old sod!
However- I need to take issue with you on a couple of points which perhaps I coukd come back to you on next week.
Only one thing I will mention today ……..read up on ‘taqhiya’ (various spellings) it is a tenet of Islam which can never sit well with our culture.
Good luck! Vote well!
Using the Nick Clegg version of the Koran? In the ‘killing of all mankind’ quote you have, like he did, omitted the exceptions eg ‘ except for causing mischief in the land’ which includes resisting submission to Islam, then add on the next verse 5.33 which details the penalties for this.
Islam does not respect any non Muslim jurisdiction ie kuffir, unless it suits their purpose to spread Islam.
Rule of thumb, the ‘good’ parts of the Koran etc, are reserved for Muslims, the bad parts for the rest of us, the kuffirs.
As for extreme Islam there, is no such thing, there is only one Islam, and forthright Muslims such as Erdogan for example are very clear on this.
Colin! – make no mistake – there is absolutely no harm in wanting to be with your kith and kin or with people YOU choose to feel comfortable with – personally I will defend to the death my choice of friends and Acquaintances- and when you or I are called before ‘the beak’ – let’s invite him to a jolly night out at the Brixton Black Community Centre for the Annual RAP SESSION – he can be on the door. Clearly he will LEAP at this unique opportunity to engage in the aroma of the Caribbean Plant Extract Society.
The public clearly needs to have a dedicated vicious vile Public Barrister to support them against the self-satisfied Judges who live in a totally different world to the ‘hoi-polloi’ (that’s you and me Colin!)!
So where came the 3 million new vote registrations last month ? I have evidence of fake registrations earlier than this..anyone interested ?
Not Labour councils
euge – maybe they are counting the ‘duckers and divers’ who came in via the East Coast Pleasure-boat Society last week – organised by Ahmed, leader of the Coastal Immigration Charity welcoming only young men (children of course) from the ages of eighteen to thirty-six – together with their mobile phones, bank accounts pre-forwarded.
That would make up the greater majority of ‘new’ voters appearing in the lists.
Don’t forget, they have Human Rights – whether they be human or not!
Nigel should never have stood a single candidate down, Boris’s is deal is worse than May’s and will keep us tied and paying until we have not 1 pound left
Corbyn has to be anti-Semitic in order to garner in the Muslim vote.
Which of course is why he’s also a friend of Hamas.
Yes, indeed. Corbyn has consistently, for many, many years stood on the same platforms as rabid Islamic terrorist supporters and other terrorists worldwide. THAT is his record – often accompanied by John McDonnell who, according to his stated principles supports the ‘United Ireland’ cause.
Do we really need these people to LEAD or country?
World Security Organisations forecast that he would not be trusted with secrets which would be vital to this country and its allies in times of any pending terror attacks.
The question is – who would you feel safest with? A failed Minister, Johnson, a deeply faulted Socialist/Islamic sympathiser or a blushing young girl-guide – or a man who has for over thirty years consistently put Britain first in everything hers been involved with?
Given the chance vote TBP – you know it makes sense.
The “BBC-promoted poet” should Foxtrot Oscar to Uganda, never to be allowed to return, if that’s what he thinks of our country. Too many of his kind expect to sponge off us whilst criticising those of us who pay their salaries.
I agree Jack. I also am furious at Corbyn’s intention to resurrect the wicked British Empire Myth. Foxtrot Oscar indeed. I want to say that to any rabid Remainers too – F.O. to the EU if you like it so much. UK is too crowded, so good riddance.
“TBP has become non-existent, as far as the MSM and the strategists of LibLabCon are concerned.”
True, but if they did I wouldn’t believe them. I prefer to get it straight ‘from the horse’s mouth’ so to speak.
I’m following Nigel’s ‘On the road with’ series on YouTube. Plymouth today and I think he said Barnsley tomorrow.
I watch his daily reports and they are clear and to the point. I have just watched his speech in Plymouth last night.
he was on phenomenal form and is clearly the best orator we have got. He puts all other politicians to shame, even, I might add, Jacob Rees-Mogg
