Dear All
The most discriminated groups in the UK are black
people and white working class people. Political parties of the ‘left’ years
ago abandoned the working class as organisations set up to protect their rights
were infiltrated by middle class careerists straight out of university or via
trade unions. As the working class lost their representation, they also lost
out on other benefits from elected people. The political elite became to
symbolise ‘identity politics’ to the max. If you were white working class you
were pushed to the back of the queue, discriminated at every turn.
Right across Europe ,
ordinary working class people have turned to people who understand their
concerns and shown an interest in them. One example of how detached the
political parties are is using ‘foodbank collections in order to increase their
support in the community. When the election is over, the winning party very
quickly abandons this trick because their agenda has moved on. What hasn’t
moved on is the need of vulnerable for food aid.
Across Europe , we have seen
the right of parties of the right, this has led to the incumbent political
parties and the ‘liberal’ press tagging them as ‘far right’. Despite a
co-ordinated campaign of sorts, the public has decided to ignore the fake news
agenda and continue to give new parties their support. If you see a Donald
Trump or Vladmir Putin, you usually see a smear campaign of them not far
behind.
Clare Foges, David Cameron’s former speechwriter wrote that authoritarian
“strong men”, like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin get things done, this
is in stark contrast to people like Nicola Sturgeon who is mired in identity
politics and abandonment of the white working class. The SNP lie ‘Stronger for
Scotland’ doesn’t apply to white working class in education, jobs, health, and
law and order unless you tick an ‘identity politics’ box.
People should be aware of the intolerance of ‘liberals’,
these are the people who don’t want you to speak or have an opinion aired
unless it agrees with them. The rise of the fascist thugs dubbed ‘Antifa’ is a
group which uses violence to silence people who dare to protest about what is
going on around them.
You could describe these people are as mixture of middle
class thugs and ‘commies’ masquerading as socialists. People who are so anti
establishment that they want to become the establishment.
Iain Macwhirter isn’t a fan of Brexit, he says at the moment
that there is a distinct air of Weimar about
British politics; of course, you should remember that Germany had
just come out of WW1 as the loser. Germans were angry with the political class
who hadn’t just led them to defeat but also starvation and unemployment. Not a
happy time indeed, but the misery wasn’t just a German thing; the ‘Great
Depression’ of the 1920’s caused problems everywhere from Germany to the US,
Russia after the revolution wasn’t a paradise either.
In politics, you have to face up to a plain simple fact, in
elections, the ‘best man’ doesn’t always win, that isn’t the purpose of
elections; it is to elect someone. I don’t have to reel of a list of scumbags
who got elected, you can google that yourself and see depending on how much
research you want to do. One thing which you will have heard of is ‘tactical
voting’, tactical voting isn’t about electing someone you want, it is about
attempt to ‘get anyone but’ the party you hate getting in.
In Europe, the rise of the ‘right’ in politics is not a
surprise, the ‘left’ and ‘liberals’ caused it by neglect, which is why we get
leftwing thugs on our streets hunting for ‘nazis’, not World War 2 Nazis, not
Zombie Nazis but ordinary people who dare to speak out about what the political
elite has done while in office.
Yesterday, I wrote about how American families were right to
get justice for their love ones who were brutally murdered by ‘British’ Jihadists
dubbed ‘the Beatles’, if their crimes had taken place on British soil, then I
would say that legally, they would have to be tried in our jurisdiction but the
murders happened abroad. I have no problem in sending these Isis ‘recreational
killers’ to the US
to face justice. Iain Macwhirter seems
to think this is a problem, he wrote:
“It’s perhaps no accident the UK Government appears
to be prepared to accept the death penalty for British Islamic State terrorists
in America, something that would have been unimaginable until recently. This is
pure populist politics”.
To be clear, the UK Government in the shape of the Home
Secretary said that he wouldn’t ask for assurances that these people wouldn’t get
the death penalty if convicted. The Prime Minister said she hoped they spend
the rest of their lives in jail. Given these people have been stripped of their
British citizenship, perhaps the use of the term ‘British Islamic State
terrorists’ is wrong.
We don’t have the death penalty in the UK , but they do in America , Alexanda Kotey and El
Shafee Elsheikh doesn’t deserve to escape justice, no one does, and certainly not
for engaging in torture and murder, these two aren’t soldiers.
And they do have charges to answer.
Iain Macwhirter is wrong to say that the refusal to seek
assurances:
“This is pure populist politics”.
No, it is not, it is the ‘politics’ of justice.
The contempt that people must feel for those who have
protested that the Home Sec didn’t ask for assurances against the death penalty
just beggars belief. No trial has taken place; no sentence has been handed down
but the ‘left’ and the ‘liberals’ are practically in tears about poor ‘recreational
killers’. This case encapsulates why the British people are so sick to death of
the political class in this country.
A recent YouGov poll suggests that 24 per cent of British
people would now vote for an anti-immigrant party like the Alternative fur
Deutschland or Marine LePen’s National Front. The thing is any political party
cannot just be a party of protest, it has to be willing and able to be a party
of government, this is why so many minor parties fail to gain support beyond a ‘single
issue’. Right-wing populism is the dynamic force in European politics at
present, in Viktor Orban’s Hungary
and Slovenia
has just elected a right wing, anti-immigrant government.
Even the carefree Italians in Italy
ares now under coalition led by Lega’s Matteo Savini, who has talked of “a mass
cleansing” Italy
of immigrants. Norway and Denmark have
right-wing parties participating in government. The one to watch is if the Swedish
Democrats who are leading in the polls go all the way to government.
How did it become so?
The political elite allowed in rapists from third world countries,
the migrants done the raping, but the political elite did all the backroom
facilitation, everything from ‘soup to nuts’, transport, food, clothing,
housing and money.
Of course, their ‘excuse’ is that ‘we didn’t know this would
happen’.
When people like Iain Macwhirter talk about a new form of
nationalist populism and how that transpires into a sophisticated, media-wise
Alt-Right, he could be talking about people like Austria ’s Martin Sellner.
It would be wrong to say that people like Sellner just
target white working class, his organisation cross the social barriers in his
own country. That said regards of country, the appeal of the right in white
former working class communities, hit hard by globalisation, and feeling
abandoned by the left is a ready market. The fact is the white working class
has been abandoned by the left, it isn’t a ‘feeling’, it is a reality. The
political parties are not interested in the working class; they focus on ‘identity
politics’ focusing on minorities such as racial and gender minorities, LGBTQI++
and religions. At the moment the media is as Iain Macwhirter wrote, is preoccupied
with transgender issues and feminists of #metoo movement. As Milo Yiannopoulos
says, feminism is now a man hating activity.
Even trade unions seem to have abandoned young working class
people. As the Institute for Fiscal Studies noted recently, “union members are
now overwhelmingly public sector, white collar and middle-aged”.
Finally in the ‘good old days’, political parties could
count on the white working class vote, given what we have seen, the white
working class have abandoned them, in Scotland, this can be seen by the spectacular
fall of the Labour Party, once the dominant force. Given that so many people
have been disenfranchised from voting, there is a pressing need for the
emergence of new political parties who are not willing to engage in the murky mess
that is identity politics’ which are platforms for active discrimination of
people. If we are all supposed to be the same and equal, and it is enshrined in
law, why are political parties allowed to operate discriminatory policies?
The old days of just giving your vote because of your social
class are gone, and so is fairness, justice and equality of outcome, it all
died a long time ago which is why the working class despites so many middle
class politicians.

I remember back in 2007 when I first voted SNP. Two old guys, now dead, told me I made a mistake and the SNP are no good. 11 years later, I see what they mean. Salmond/Krankies SNP are not only anti working class, they are anti Scottish. A few years ago; I applied for a security job, I applied for over 150 vacancies and didn’t get one reply. Go into any shop, I’ve meet guards who can’t speak English but if I dare complain about not even getting an interview for a dangerous min wage job, I’m a hater, a Nazi, a racist and religious bigot, I’m certainly not an unemployed man who was desperate to find work. I also have qualifications in Networking but I’ve been totally unable to even get an interview in networking too.
The trade unions are the same; all they care about is public sector workers. All our political elite now appear to be the same. They are basically treating us like we are sheep in a farmer’s field.
As a socialist at heart it troubled me but I voted Tory last election because with the Tory you know what you’re going to get. I must add, I’m not too happy with that Ruth. She really does sound like she would be better off in New Lie@bour.
Just a little bit of a history lesson, the Nazis were actively dismissed and ignored by large swathes of German society during the 1920s. What changed? The 1929 Wall Street Crash and Great Depression. Let's not forget that while Japan was even more animalistic in the Second World War, it turned that way because of the depression as well. The left wing and liberalism would do well to learn their lessons from 2016 but they seem to have failed in this.
As for today, the days of running liberalism as a house of correction are well and truly over.
