So Cameron, Clegg, Brown and their band of corrupt brothers and sisters across the political parties suddenly want ‘change and reform’, …er… just because they’ve been found out? Yes, right…
We believe them, of course.
Like we believed the thousands of promises down the years which have been broken.
Like we believed every party slogan to build a ‘New Britain’, create a ‘Fairer Britain’ or to bring ‘prosperity for all’,
…and like we believed every new party leader that ever came along, who flattered to deceive us that they would be the solution to our problems as a society
We believed them all… and so where exactly did it get us?
Let’s see… oh, yes… Britain is seen across the world as being in economic ruin, and our financial status has been officially downgraded. What else has our belief in party politics done for us?
Most of our citizens still can’t afford even the cheapest house for sale because of past excesses in the housing market – caused mainly by the lack of affordable homes being built and partly by financial regulations which encourage unrealistic borrowing and unmanageable personal debt.
Our health system is buckling under the lack of resources and the burgeoning demands from immigrants coming here to have their babies, get free treatment, medicine and benefits for their ‘illnesses’, milking dry a system to which they have never made any financial contribution.
Our banks were given all of our money months ago to ‘rescue’ them, and yet STILL nothing is coming out at the other end in terms of mortgages, loans and help for small businesses. They can manage to spend £millions on daft and patronising TV ads, though.
Unemployment is rising dramatically because of OUR GOVERNMENT’S economic mis-management, which politicians blame on America, while more and more jobs here are taken by foreigners – whether they be ‘legal’ or illegal immigrants, bogus students or terrorists.
Social housing isn’t being built, full stop.
The housing stock we had was sold off long ago by the Tories, never to be replaced by them or by Labour, and what’s left is given to immigrants just because they present themselves in our country – a trail of children and elderly relatives behind them – which seems to give them (not British citizens) top spot on our housing and benefits list, or because they claim to need ‘asylum’ from countries whose problems and wars are nothing to do with us.
Meanwhile, Lord and Lady ‘Richer-than-you’ or Sir Fatcat-Businessman and his colleagues threaten to quit Britain because of the 50p tax rate on higher earnings. Earnings which we, as workers and citizens, have created for them. We really feel for the poor things.
Good riddance, more like.
As for MPS… the ‘elected representatives’ who are supposed to serve us as citizens… they can’t get their own greedy snouts deep enough in the trough of public money.
Public money – not Labour’s, not the Tories’ , but your money. Our money.
Money we worked hard to earn. Money that belongs to us, not them.
‘Change & reform’, they now say. Well, we couldn’t agree more.
But not the kind of half-baked change they want. Real change.
Change for the better.
Change that will make life better for all of us, not them.
THE FIVE KEY CHANGES WE NEED NOW:
1. We need to abolish the corrupt and anti-democratic political party system, and the antiquated Houses of Parliament, in favour of a house of representatives with independent, elected members who are there for their skills and abilities as people, not some party dogma.
2. Our representatives need to be independent, to vote according to local issues on behalf of their constituents and in the best national interest for all of us, not the best interests of a party that just wants to preserve its existence and its bankrupt ideas & morals.
3. We need an efficient executive management to run the country, not ‘Whitehall mandarins’ who get into the civil service on the strength of which school or university they went to.
4. No more ‘lords, ladies, knights, princes and princesses, kings and queens’: in other words, no more repulsive class system which is socially divisive and morally reprehensible. ‘Monarchy’ – a ridiculously out-dated notion – to be phased out within 12 months and all lands and palaces taken back into public hands.
5. Equal opportunity and more equitable pay structures, so we no longer have poverty. Not ‘communism’ – just a fairer deal and better social conditions for everyone: housing, health, pensions, childcare, jobs.
All of this may sound Utopian, but why continue to put up with a system which has failed us and disenfranchised the people for centuries?
The timing is right, and the will is there to make REAL change.
Let’s start now and rid ourselves of the lot of them.
