What I am about to write here should not come as a surprise to any member of the UK public.
Now for the painful part, it’s the same public who are to blame for the state we find the government, parliament and the politicos in. As we have let them get away with it for far too long.
We have lost our ability to protest and hold our MP’s and government to account. We should not have a blind dedication to a party and we need to redraw the contract with our politicos and remind them they are here to act in our best interests neither their party’s nor their party leaders.
For the fist time in thirty years I did not vote at the recent euro elections, this you may think is nothing unusual. In not voting I knew along with many other thousands of Unionists that we were letting a Sinn Fein/IRA MEP top the poll here. This speaks volumes for how disaffected the Unionist electorate are here in Northern Ireland with the DUP.
This disaffection I feel needs to gather hold in the rest of the UK and we need to protest long and loud so the politicos get the message and start to realize that they (MP’s) will not be in the job if they don’t do as we require. It’s the only way we will guarantee we get the politicos and government to give us the change we require.
Brown has a seriously flawed personality and it appears to be driven by a Machiavellian trait, this affects his judgment, to the extent that he surrounds himself with people with a similar trait. Brown is typical of every PM and MP, they are driven by personal ambition and egotistic self-interest they put their own and their parties interests before that of the public’s plight or national good.
Contrast Brown’s Machiavellian trait, with the brave D-Day veterans at the 65th D-Day commemorations. The brave men and women veterans put national interest before their personnel interest or safety but our politicos always put their own and their discredited political party’s interests first, before that of the publics. Bravery and honour are traits you will find in short supply in the current crop of MP’s in the main political party’s in the UK today. What you will find in abundance is copious amounts of egotistic self-interest and megalomania. I also note that Brown and his side kick Ainsworth the now secretary of state for defence have not one medal between them. These two should remember if it were not for the bravery of these veterans they would not be around today lording it over us.
What we have seen over the last few weeks is that now that our politicos have been found out with their snouts in the trough and their hands in the expenses till. They have started their propaganda offensive fight back with “we are listening” and “the public want us to clean up the system”, yet nothing has changed and if they do change the system we must ensure it’s not to their benefit.
We must ensure that they do change and change the system to our satisfaction.
However almost every media report on TV and radio involving the public has demanded that MP’s stand down now, not at the next election with a huge payoff. Now with the local and euro elections results coming in loud and clear the people are demanding change. Yet the politicos are putting their deaf ear to the public and carrying on as if nothing has happened. Why are we letting them get away with it? Get down to your MP’s office and tell them shut up and listen to you and what you think.
This is not just a Labour thing it extends to the Conservatives too. Only one or two MP’s have had the whip removed and a few told not to stand at the next election, which permits them to clean up again at the Taxpayers expense. They are blaging there way out of this situation like common criminals.
I can’t wait to see a time when someone challenges the taxman or VAT man in court for non payment of tax or VAT, citing the Nuremberg defence much loved of MP’s. Saying “I thought it was within the rules or I did not know” and I will pay it back without interest. This is exactly what MP’s have done? Neither government nor parliamentarian can come on the media and condemn them, as they have done exactly the same thing, the government and parliament has lost its authority.
