I ventured out to the Liberal Club last night. Our host is in hospital having his brain fixed so we do not expect him back anytime soon. Naturally we all missed him and decided to make an effort to remember him while he suffers the abuse by physiotherapists and the like, so we ensured all the drinks we obtained were put onto his bill. Something for him to thank us for when he returns, if indeed he does return.
Several members of the 'Last of the Summer Wine' were in attendance, and many an unscrupulous ploy was discussed. We had a laugh, considered what fun we could get up to, then let it all drop when the woman folk came and took their men home. Ah well.
I sauntered up the road, enjoying the Spring evening but convinced there was someone following me. I hurried home, shut the main door and let the 'following feeling' pass by.
The response to Keir Starmer's 'Enoch' speech was as expected. However, that means nothing to him, what matters is getting ahead of Reform. The inept Conservative's have a failing leader, voters are leaving because the right-wing media tell them it's all because of 'the boats.' Emotional people, informed their nation is being overrun respond by rushing to vote for Reform because they think they will fix this. Of course they will do nothing. Reform is all about rabblerousing and filling Nigel Farage's pockets, nothing else. If he did win an election and become Prime Minister he would do nothing about anything as he is all about the money. Those appointed however, may be like the US cabinet living out their fantasies and lack of understanding.
But these ae the front men, not the ones making the decision. The billionaires and most likely that nice Mr Putin are the ones forcing a right-wing government upon the UK. They succeeded in the US, Brexit was the practice run, and now they will lie their way into power in the UK in similar fashion.
We note Labour have decided to cut foreign aid, another way to let little black kids die. This has come out quietly but will be heard spoken loudly once again. Another right-wing idea to enable the rich to prosper. The voters are emotional, few appear able to see the disaster that awaits them.
If Farage gets in then workers rights will evaporate, wages will decrease, and the lowest of the low will pay the taxes, not the rich. There are indications of moves towards this among many backbench MPs and most will vote as they are told. The future is not bright in the UK, so why do people keep coming here, maybe Europe offers a better life for them.
