A Budget for the few at the expense of the many

A Budget of  “utter ­complacency, entirely out of touch with that reality of life for millions”.

A budget for the rich and powerful few at the expense of the many ordinary people.A budget which does nothing for the NHS, nothing for schools and education, nothing for housing or energy and no mention of Brexit. The iniquities and hardship caused by the conservative government drive for austerity continues and will become even more extreme over the coming months as cuts bite even deeper into peoples lives. A punishing budget where the self employed face increases to their National Insurance contributions, in direct contravention of the conservative government manifesto commitments.

Presiding over the complacency of this Chancellor and his woefully inadequate budget measures, sits the unelected Theresa May who seems absorbed with belief of her own self importance to the exclusion of all rational and logical thought. The grandees of her own party should be concerned with irrational behaviour and her future after her hysterical and sinister outburst of maniacal laughter earlier in the day.

This country and its people deserve better government than that which is currently in power. As media and political speculation grows for an early General election and the latest figures show that only 30% of the electorate would prefer the government to remain in place for the full term. The Labour party is the only alternative to this spiteful and deceitful government which is in power for the few at the expense of the many.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
