JEREMY CORBYN TO PROPOSE A FOUR-DAY WEEK

Yet another crazy idea is currently being explored by opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn and his Marxist side-kick John McDonnell, and that is to introduce a 4-day working week!

It was reported by Bloomberg that this investigative report, is being researched by economic historian, Robert Skidelsky, a biographer of John Maynard Keynes, and could, if it is shown that fewer hours would give a boost to 'staff productiveness', may well end up as official Labour party policy.

This follows earlier announcements by the dynamic duo about re-nationalising the country’s rail, energy and water industries, changing the remit of the Bank of England to include a productivity target, and introducing a universal basic income.

However, this policy, should it ever be accepted, would, I suggest, instil mass panic and considerable outrage among many public sector staff, as many would need to up their game and increase their current 3-day working activities, for the same pay...!

  

PERHAPS THEY COULDN’T FIND A PEN

As Labour splits in half over the reinstatement of suspended MP Chris’ Williamson, and the letter which emerged demanding his further expulsion; a letter which has now been signed by well over 100 Labour MP’s; what I found most surprising was not the 120-odd names who have signed it - but the missing names of those who hadn’t.


Over the past few years, the likes of Angela Rayner and Jonathan Reynolds have presented themselves as allies of the Jewish community and called for the rooting out of antisemitism wherever it presents itself.

However, along with fellow shadow front benchers like Andrew Gwynn, they now seem to be amongst those Labour MP’s missing from the list of signatories.


As a constituent, one needs to ask whether they are in support of the decision to allow Mr Williamson back into the party or not - or could it be that they are so concerned about their climb up the greasy pole that they are unable to disagree with their leader on this vital issue?

LOCAL MP'S LATEST ATTEMPT TO HIJACK PARLIAMENT...

I am totally astounded that so many MP’s still think taking “No Deal” off the table in the Brexit negotiation with the EU is a good idea, and that further delay in the whole sorry debacle is helpful.

The other day as well as a number of Conservative MP’s who voted with the opposition on this blatant attempt to hijack parliament, in order to secure legislation to ask the government to seek another delay to our exit, I noticed that the usual suspects; Andrew Gwynne, Angela Rayner and Jonathan Reynolds all voted to take ‘No Deal’ off the table, which once again exposes the treachery within them and their party in ignoring the clear and overwhelming wishes of their Tameside constituents, and further underlines their determination to deny the restoration of sovereignty and independence to the UK.

It would appear that their clear intention is to remain under the control of the unelected bureaucrats in the EU; these Labour MP's would be happy to see Westminster reduced to the authority of a local council.

… And we all know how beneficial that would be!

NOW WE KNOW WHAT A PERILOUS STATE OUR POLITICS IS IN.

 

 

 

Judging by last night’s pitiful performance by the 5 ‘candidates’ who are running to become the 77^th Prime Minister of this Great Nation, it would seem that politics has now been reduced to little more than a crass, banal game show. The political class obviously know no bounds when it comes to displaying their inadequacies. We might as well give the keys to number 10, to the emerging winner of Love Island!

The biased policies of the supposedly ‘neutral’ BBC was also there writ-large for all to see, and it has now been confirmed that the BBC catastrophically failed in its editorial duties by giving air time to a questionable ‘member of the public!’ whose controversial  tweets on anti-Semitism were apparently deleted before the show aired.

The whole sorry programme was amateurish in its set up and was chaired so badly that viewers learned very little from these 5 ‘useful idiots’ as there was no serious discussion of the major issues facing the country or their plans to galvanise the electorate and make this country prosper.

All the candidates were continually interrupted, especially Boris Johnson who had little time to offer his comments because of the constant interruptions by the presenter which contrasted significantly with the amount of time they allowed to Rory Stewart; who spoke much but said very little!

A HELIUM-FILLED INFLATABLE BLIMP OF LABOUR LEADER JEREMY CORBYN SHOULD FLY OVER TAMESIDE’S NEW ‘TOWN HALL’ AS HE CONTINUES TO SHAME THIS NATION

I read this morning that Jeremy Corbyn is set to join thousands of demonstrators on the streets of London today (Tuesday 04 JUNE 2019) in protest over Donald Trump's UK state visit.

Apparently the Labour leader will not only attend and speak at the rally, but it is reported that he is ‘gearing up’ to actually lead the demonstration, which has been planned to coincide with the US President's talks with the Prime Minister.

Now let me say now that I don't agree with all his policies. He's not the greatest president in the world, but unlike our politicians, he gets things done!

Let’s be clear, agree wholeheartedly that everyone has the right to demonstrate against policies and laws that they do not agree with, but let’s not forget the reason President Trump is here. He’s here in order to mark the 75th anniversary of the allied D-day landings which signaled the main turning point of the Second World War; freeing Europe from the tyranny of Hitler’s Nazi’s and the beginning of the end for Hitler's Germany. D-day is still to this day the biggest amphibious invasion in military history.

This was a bloody conflict in which over 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy.

Something that it seems many of these inflatable waving protesters appear to be genuinely ignorant of. This is probably a subject for another day, but basically I put it down the culture within the current British State schools of cultivating ignorance.

But back to Corbyn and Co’ - I find it quite clear that many of these politicians, who have not had or played any part of organising these events; albeit one as utterly childish, undignified and futile as this one, are always ready to jump on any passing bandwagon, especially when the media circus descends.

You might have noticed that this political equivalent of the ‘photo bomb’ also happens at local level at many organised community events in Tameside.

Look through the pages of the local newspaper and I’m sure you’ll find several community events that have been organised entirely by volunteers, without any involvement from ‘the council’, and who have worked hard to stage an event, only to find their local councillor suddenly appears out of the woodwork, as soon as the cameras come out and position themselves ‘front and centre’ on the publicity shots!
 

As for today’s rally, well I suppose its something for the middle class virtue signalling tree huggers to do before they wander off to Glastonbury, for a well earned week on the lash, bless their little liberal leftie socks...

 

 

WATCH AND WEEP

 

The nature of politics and governments, is to grow and intrude on every aspect of life.

The deceit of politics is: “of the people, by the people, for the people”, however, as we now know, the lie of politics is that 'your vote matters' and that 'you can make a difference!'

Watch this compilation of our politicians and try to justify their deceit.

Personally, I am shocked that a Westminster politician would ever lie to us.

Even more shocked that the highly principled members of the government as well as those within the Labour Party would do so.

What is the world coming to?

HERE IN TAMESIDE NOTHING HAS CHANGED, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT!

 

In the run up to the local elections, social media is awash with selfies of beaming groups of councillors, decked out in rosettes and waving posters.

However, despite the smiling façade, people on the doorstep told a different story.

As well as being constantly lied to, by politicians, the media, and so-called’ experts; raging apathy at local level over Tameside’s skewed version of local democracy, anger over service decline in the face of council tax rises, not to mention frustration over delays to Brexit, created a massive disinterest in politics at local level, which again saw the voter count decline and those who did find the energy to drag themselves to the polling stations, many either spoilt their voting slips or voted for smaller parties or independents.

Democracy is supposed to be the rule by the majority. This is untrue.

To say that any elected official is chosen by the people through majority rule is blatantly dishonest.

If someone is elected, all it means is that a majority of the voting populace has chosen someone, not the majority of the people subject to the council’s decisions.

 

Let’s just look at what the ruling Labour council call democracy.

 

In Tameside local elections take place every 4 years, but only for 1/3^rd of the council seats. The total number of councillors is 57.The make up being 51 Labour, 5 Tory and 1 Green.

Here are the round numbers of non-voters. Out of Tameside’s 224.000 population: just over 50,000 weren't allowed to vote, and only 45,000 did vote. That means that only 26% took part in the local ‘democratic’ circus and 74% either couldn’t or didn’t! These councillors then go on to decide what is best for all 100% of us for the next 4 years; which is basically the same inertia and piss poor services that they have been soaking us with for the last 4+ decades!

Only in the cloud-cuckoo land of democratic theory can this be called "majority rule."

Two things must change for true democracy to return to Tameside. 1) Is to make voting compulsory, and 2) Is for all the councillors to put up for election at the same time. Then, whatever the result, it would at least carry a close resemblance to a democratic one.

I had to look twice at the slogans and histrionics that regaled their canvassing paraphernalia.

‘Labour Councillors are making a tangible difference to people’s lives, day after day, and how Labour Councillors have made – and continue to make – a difference in local communities, not to mention how councillors have been innovative in finding ways to ensure our communities remain strong and cohesive.'

 

Really?

If they don’t agree with my remarks, perhaps they could put their 51 heads together and furnish this blog with 3 examples of their innovations which has resulted in sustainable community cohesion.

Failing that, could they give examples of how, using their assets creatively, they have reduced the financial burden on Tameside’s taxpayers.

An answer would be nice, but I won't hold my breath!
