Just when you think our political system and its participants can't possibly stoop any lower we get more news of lies, mistakes, cover-ups and blunders that have cost us all as a country. I talk of course of Jack Straw's admission that he miscalculated the impact immigration would have on the UK as well as the numbers that would flood into our poor brow beaten communities, the fact that a ten year old child could have foreseen such a calamity will not lessen the fact that this man who was paid by the public purse and was given a job with a duty of care will think that a simple "whoops" said out loud now will see him forgiven.
At the same time we see the Conservative Party deleting speeches from their website that were made at the time they were fighting to be elected. The obvious reason for this is they cannot fulfill their election promises, their excuse for it is they wish to keep the website current and not weighed down with older stories. I am afraid once again we see the same losers, the genuine British public. Just how many more times do we see serious misconduct from a top flight MP or political party in this country go unpunished? I can almost hear Winston Churchill spinning in his grave. Why would all those brave men and women have fought all those years ago for a country that has ended up being governed by liars and cheats and people who should no more be in office than Biffo The Bear?.
If you were employed to do a specific job based on your experience and your ability then you should also be held responsible if you make a serious error of judgement, yet Jack Straw will make a comfortable living on the speech circuit delivering yet more spin and still getting paid for it, his very presence on these shores is an affront to the British people who will suffer for years to come with an over-populated country because of his miscalculation and inaction while in office, the man should be shovelling snow in Siberia not cash into his bank account. As for our Conservative friends does their self-righteous, ignorant, arrogant behaviour know no bounds? These people must assume that Britain will accept lies and cover-ups as an every day occurrence, they cannot surely think for one minute that we believe their pathetic excuse for blocking past promises made to us during speeches on their website? Oh, hang on, yes they can and yes we as a country probably will, you see we cannot really blame politicians for thinking they can get away with anything when we actually let them, as with modern day youngsters, there are no consequences for lies and poor behaviour so it continues, in fact it just gets worse over time, I fear for the future when days like today reveal such shocking but i guess unsurprising truths.
So, what will it take to right the good ship Great Britain? It won't be UKIP, it wont be Labour or Tory and most definitely not Liberal views. I believe that the issues will only be managed properly by a party that can nurture hard working citizens and entrepreneurs, be hard on Europe and even tougher on immigration, it should back business so that business can back the work force, it should allow Teachers to teach and Police to police, Nurses to nurse and above all be transparent and responsible for its mistakes. It should be ruthless on crime and genuine in its policies and consultation with its citizens, if this all sounds like pie in the sky it damned well shouldn't do, it should be the road map for governance, not a pipe dream.
If the latter sounds like the political scene that you grew up with then you are probably a sixties child too, it all changed with Tony Blair and the "spin word". The Tower should be overflowing and brought back to its previous stature and use, not a tourist attraction, I have a list drawn up if anyone is interested.
