Had to get that off my chest. Why is it that these worthless cretins seem to have spectacularly failed to understand that THEY REPRESENT US, THE VOTING PUBLIC.
We put them into power, we can just as easily remove them again; if only the majority of the public would wake up and realise that they are being herded like sheep by their government (and I lump Tories, Labour and LibDem together for this) to do what they want, and not what we want.
Example: I recently wrote to my MP (Menzies Campbell) to ask that he not support the digital economy bill as it stands, for the gross violations of individual liberty that it represents: I’m talking here more about the loss of automatic copyright of photographs, though the bill (dreamt up by the Dark Lord Mandelson during one of his wet dreams) also poses draconian measures on households with shared broadband, unless you all behave like nice little Hitler Youth and report your kids for filesharing. Did he answer? Did he f*ck. Yes he did, but the reply was “lost in the post”. Well, that’s [still] a potential voter gone. Next step is for me to pop round to his surgery, and have it out there. My principal question will be: Why did he not answer my letter? Followed by the continued request that he block this bill until it has been considered with due care, and suitable amendments added/scrap the bill in its entirety*. [EDIT: Turns out that due to the imminent general election (not yet called), Ming won't be holding any more surgeries. Seems an odd position to adopt when the GE could yet be up to two months away.]
Probably best not to say much more about the money grabbing shits as exposed by Dispatches the other night. Other than to say, I hope as well as their suspension from the party, they are kicked out of the party and lose all party support for the up-coming election. Let’s see how they fare as independents, answerable to their constituents.I see that Old Holborn is standing in the up-coming general election as an independent candidate. Good luck to him. I hope that he generates enough support to embarrass the main parties, and to show them that we need change. With any luck, he’ll win his seat, though with too many of the population voting on partisan lines, rather than with their heads, I can’t see wins anywhere for candidates who stand for truth, justice, and individual liberty.
*that’s another argument altogether.
