So be it.



So be it.
The anti Corbyn, Stop Labour winning at any cost coalition, have achieved their aim and handed Johnson a huge majority in the House of Commons. Television, Newspapers, Dis affected Labour Party members, elements of the PLP, those who have shouted from the rooftops that the Labour Party is antisemitic, can sit back this morning and gloat on their success. They have handed Johnson an open cheque to "Get Brexit Done" and then sell this country off to Trump and American business interests. They have given him 5 years to create a society for the few not the many.
I despair and grieve for the people of this nation. The people who remain reliant on Food banks to feed their families. The people who are and will remain homeless on our streets. The pensioners who are faced with ever increasing costs for food, fuel to heat their homes, as well as declining cars services. The cash starved NHS where nurses, doctors and other staff who face increasing work loads and frustrations. Those on Zero Hour contracts who have no stability in their weekly budgeting. The ever increasing list of people on Council Homes waiting lists who now have little prospect of ever being housed.
We are faced with a real possibility that this country will crash out of the EU without any "deal". The resultant job losses, increased costs for people and business will be catastrophic. Many people who voted Conservative last night may well rue the day when they were taken in by the lies of the hard Brexit lobby and the smears directed at the Labour party. 
It was a disastrous election for Labour, but it is the people of this country who will ultimately pay the price for Conservative win.

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...
