General Election - December 2019

The excitement mounts. But if this rain doesn't ease off considerably then there'll be plenty who won't want to venture out for a wander to the Polling Station. Use a postal vote instead ? Well it's too late for that unless you've already shoved it in the letterbox 

It's probably no exaggeration that the future of Brexit hangs on the outcome. I've got a choice of 4 candidates, the election literature delivered to Alpine Towers by both Tory and Labour, is noticeably devoid of the word 'Brexit'. The subject of our EU membership doesn't get the slightest mention. My sitting Tory MP is an avid Remainer, so much so that it won him a place within 'Team Hammond's' Treasury grouping. However, he had more than double the number of votes than his nearest rival (Labour) could amass back in 2017. There have been two other leaflets for me two peruse, from the LibDems and The Greens, both brazenly declaring 'Sod Democracy, bin Brexit'.

Do I have any inclination to chose between any of these 4 to represent me ?  Do I have the choice of even one person with opinions even roughly corresponding to my own, who I'd be willing to endorse ?  Do I feel that my dissatisfaction with our Parliament, and the lack of choice of views put before me, can best be expressed by demonstrating a refusal to take part ?   

The message that I hope is conveyed most strongly at this election, is that you can't just trash democracy, and expect the public to be like mugs and still go along with the game. Turn it into a farce, as it certainly has been over the last 3 years, and they'll wash their hands of it, and stay in front of their TVs instead.

Repair democracy first. Bring it back to a state where it is again worthy of respect, and the public will return and engage in higher numbers. The Brexit betrayal has prompted many to take a look under the thin veneer of 'democracy', and they've been appalled at what they've seen and witnessed. Legitimise and sustain the current abomination by taking part in it, and it will be used as evidence that you're satisfied with how things are and that no cleaning house is required.

Think twice before deciding if you want to endorse this charade. The Establishment are happy with this system. It almost always gives them what they want. And on the odd occasion when it doesn't, then it gives them further options to prevent it. It wasn't just Ozzie who pointed this out decades ago. The evidence builds up, and remains just as true today.

"We have no real democracy at the present time, because again and again since the war, the country has voted for great changes and for decisive action, yet again and again their will has been thwarted by obstruction in the talking shop at Westminster. True democracy only begins when the will of the people is carried out" - OM

Fascinating archive footage AJ and noticeable that Johnson it’s intentionally to use similar words today.

Unfortunately for you both, (Register alone most likely) I don’t believe the British Union of Fascists which Moseley later went on to head up are fielding any candidates on Thursday.

Good plain common sense, Reg. Gretna is living the life of Riley, and should count her abundance of blessings. It would have done her the world of good had she been given the chance to acquaint herself with the Capitalist system, and get down to some good honest hard work, as numerous other youngsters around the globe do. We can do our part by voting 'Boris' tomorrow (provided it's not raining), to ensure Corbett doesn't deny us from providing good honest toil to so many of the world's youth, who help produce the consumer goods from around the world that Lady Alpine so enjoys buying online and elsewhere. Instead of swanning around to conferences here, there, and everywhere, Gretna would benefit from getting her hands dirty for a change.

             It's Decision Time 



Well for anyone still to make up their mind, and who intends to vote, they need to weigh things up fairly quickly and also find an umbrella.







Tempting as it is to take the same view as Alice, to let the youth of Britain have their romantic notions of Socialism dashed by experiencing the harsh reality of living under such an Administration, in the final analysis we need to be more sensible.

Prime Minister Corbyn propped up by Wee Jimmy Krankie most probably would be highly amusing for the first 3 or 4 months. But even the kids would stop laughing and waving their Red flags when contemplating what would be left of the country if it went on for another 3 or 4 years as planned.

So difficult as it is to resist thinking that a harsh Socialist lesson might actually bring a good number of people to their senses; more considered thought is needed.

That’s why, as the country takes note this morning that Diane is incapable of putting matching shoes on her feet before leaving the house*, we also need to reflect whether our Security Services would be competently led with Home Secretary Abbott directing things ... at the same time that dear old Jezza is turning a section of Downing Street into an allotment.

If you do feel you must vote, then it really is best to vote sensibly.

And your alternative choice of leader would have been...
