The confusion at the heart of Gordon
I like people. There, I have said it. Some people are more difficult to like than others but overall, I can honestly say that I don’t “hate” anyone – I have yet to find someone I have met or know of that I truly hate.
So with that in mind I cannot help but look at our Prime Minister with a very high level of pity. Not because he has lets face it, had a tough time in office (ok, most of it his own making), but because he seems to be so very ill-advised and, so very out of touch with people he is there to SERVE. He suffers it seems to me, from a very “socialist” disease.
He has like most socialists in power, a deep rooted desire towards an authoritarian even dictatorial style of government that manifest itself in many ways. Throughout this current experiment with the class A drug that is “power”, the control freaks at the center of New Labour have managed to create over 3000 new types of criminal offenses, they have as of 2007, implemented 99 Tax rises since Gordon Brown became chancellor (remember Blair’s “No New Taxes” lie?) and have engaged in implementing some of the most draconian policies in the pursuit of “security” since the second world war (allowing local councils an unprecedented level of intrusion the defies any logical justification) – the only difference being that the policies introduced by Churchill et-al were rescinded immediately upon cessation of hostilities and I suspect that the US/UK alliance on terror know that this is a war that will NEVER end.
Why do I say all this? Because even though all this is well known by the majority of people in this country, and the MSM avoid their duty to report and encourage debate on these issues, I still feel for Gordon Brown.
You see, I think he has lost it. Not in the “wibble wibble, pencil up the nose” sense ala Black Adder, but more worryingly, in the whole delusional thing.
In his recent speeches (for speeches read banal platitudes) after the death of more service personnel (whose boot laces Mr Brown and frankly 90% of the politicians we are blessed with today would not be fit to tie), Gordon seems to think that the British public giving our whole-hearted support for our brave troops in their work on our behalf is the same as the British public giving it’s support for the illegal wars that we have been dragged into on grounds that were at best shaky and at worst, a lie.
Gordon, it is not.
I imagine that most people in this country who do not buy the lies pedaled by this government and the parties in “opposition” in relation to the Afghan and Iraq wars, support our troops but NOT the wars they have been sent to fight.
The Troops CANNOT decide NOT to fight but we, the public CAN decided not to support the war.
Gordon, our troops are dying daily for a lie and a corrupt Afghani government – STOP THIS NOW!
Every time I hear of the death of one of our troops I ache for their family, for the loss they have suffered.
Every time the media report that a soldier has died in Afghanistan or Iraq, I rage at the sheer arrogance of our government, who presume to send our young men and women to die in foreign lands whilst FAILING to give them the proper support they deserve.
The blood of our brave service men and women is on the hands of EVERY politician who voted to send them to war, whilst all the while lining their own pockets with expense claims that beggar belief. Whilst soldiers are under fire from live rounds, MP’s have been “following the letter of law” and claiming for as much filthy lucre as possible.
What is wrong with the public that we accept this situation? That we do not demand that our soldiers are given EVERYTHING they need before, during and after deployment? Why do we accept the bailing of banks and the payment of bonuses to fat greedy city workers, the slovenly attitude of ALL our politicians towards their own greed whilst hanging our troops out to dry in some forsaken stretch of land run by a corrupt regime. WHY do we accept the corporations (here, here, here and here for example) lining their pockets at the expense of our sons and daughters?
