It’s the ramblings of a c**t.

That is all.

There’s been a lot of talk in the broadsheets (not OK! magazine, oddly) about the rising stars of the new Cabinet. Theresa May has done well, until that mis-step banning the EDL (English Defence League) from having a protest march in Bradford. Gove is talking his schools plan up a lot, though it will be a while until it comes to fruition, and Iain Duncan Smith seems to have George Osborne’s backing for his much-needed welfare reforms.

The man who is standing out at the moment is Eric Pickles, currently wielding the sword of cuts against various quangos. His latest target, however, is all the visual clutter on England’s streets – all the “20mph zone” signage, all the arrows, all the pointless signs, the railings preventing you from getting somewhere, etc. As such, he has written to councils reminding them that they are not legally required to put up so many signs, and the money saved could be spent on other things, like repairing the roads.

A good example of pointless signage can be found in the next village: I turn into a country lane (which has no footpath) and halfway along the road is a sign, saying “No footpath for 450 yds”.

I KNOW THERE’S NO FOOTPATH – I HAVE EYES. There was no footpath on the main road, there was no footpath for half the road distance, now there’s a sign telling me there’s no footpath for the rest of the road? I KNOW. What a pointless sign.

Apparently, the Govt. will be asking members of the public to send in pictures / locations / complaints of all this clutter and will be acting accordingly, like they did with the Freedom Bill. I’ll be sending the aforementioned sign in, along with many others. I’m also considering putting a page up on this site with my pics.

Anyway, it’s good news – now, if we can only get them to put roads back to the speed limits they were before speed cameras came along and the limits were reduced and cameras were slapped on them BY LABOUR to raise revenue, that’d be great

Finally! I don’t know where he’s been, but it’s great to see his refreshing “no nonsense” views on the news review

Today is St. George’s Day, and as a proud Brit, I’m celebrating – quietly, of course. I wouldn’t want to be accused of being a racist, or scum, or a BNP supporter just for flying The Cross of St. George…

Unfortunately, that’s very likely to happen thanks to the hatred cultivated by Labour towards anyone who dares to be British and White and proud about it, or speak out about unlimited immigration without seeing the “benefits” it brings us.

Still, soon I hope we will be shot of this truly awful, incompetent Labour government and have a strong Conservative government that can start repairing the huge damage done by Labour to this once-great Britain.

I’m a bit late to the party here, but seeing as none of the mainstream papers are carrying it, even if a couple of people read it, it’s worth it.

Old Holborn reports that the leaders of the English Defence League were arrested today on the way to a static peaceful protest in Edinburgh. Moreover, some of their homes were raided by armed police and computer equipment was seized – here’s a full report on what happened from the EDL.

I don’t see the police doing any raids on United Against Facism.

Make no mistake, a vote for Labour is a vote for more of this treatment from the virtual police state Labour have built – and mostly towards the indigenous population as they force us to bend over backwards, or more accurately forwards, and take their multiculturalism bullshit, along with their now-leaked policy of mass immigration as a method of changing Britiain irreversibly.

I’m not sure what to make of the EDL, I support what they are trying to do and some may compare them to the BNP, but last time I checked, we still have freedom of speech in this country – just. If some “radical” muslim zealot can hold up a sign saying “Death to those who insult Islam” and not be prosecuted (oddly enough), surely the EDL can march carrying signs that say “Laugh at those who insult freedom” and not be arrested.

A more important point: the EDL has been deemed to be dangerous (or whatever) by Labour / the police – who’s next? I doubt they will crack down on the United Against Fascism fascists (whose slogan should be “It’s not Fascism when we do it!”), but perhaps another small minority group like Fathers 4 Justice, who got unpleasantly shut down. Then maybe something closer to your beliefs – and then you.

Again, I have to break out Pastor Martin Niemöller’s poem “First they Came”:

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.

In case that’s not clear enough, and as Old Holborn says, what they do to the EDL today, they do to me tomorrow…

I cannot WAIT until the General Election and throw the current shower of shit out, and hopefully begin to reverse the horrendous damage they have done to this once-great sceptred isle of Britain.

Damn you Labour, damn you to Hell.

What great news: someone has hacked the server and emails at the Hadley Centre’s Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia University, strong proponents of man-made (anthropogenic) global warming.

The emails contain details on how to get round FOI requests, someone thinking it was “good news” that a leading sceptic had died (classy!) and this wonderful tid-bit:

“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

Fraudulent scientific shenanigans indeed! Oh, by the way, it’s taxpayer-funded research as well – I understand that some more FOI requests have already gone in.

Here are some links on the story, which all should be required reading:

• Start of the story on Watt’s Up With That?
• Commentay by the Devil’s Kitchen, who was a hell of a lot to say on the matter
• James Delingpole at The Daily Telegraph
• Melanie Phillips at The Spectator

Unsuprsisingly, the mainstream media isn’t really reporting it, which is shameful. In addition to this fraudulent “science” being paid for by taxpayers, governments around the world are using this AGW as an excuse to raise taxes, to create complex carbon trading schemes (of which Al Gore is almost a billionaire off of) and some Labour twat has even suggestion a “carbon ration” for citizens in order to move about – usual Labour, restriction of freedom.

I always said it was a con, and hopefully now people will start to see that and be as mad as hell and not take it any more – the increased green taxes, made to feel guilty whenever they start up their car, that godawful advert on TV where the dad is reading that propaganda to his daughter, all that crap can stop.

Anthropogenic (man-made) Climate Change is a CON.

(That said, I’m all for reducing pollution, recycling things and solar panels – but not those sodding wind farms, they suck ass.)

Incidentally, here’s a telling picture of how the CRU have form for distorting data:

Cat’s out of the bag, methinks!

Holy crap. Just when you thought Labour could do no more harm, sink no lower, surprise you at their sheer awfulness:

Lord Mandelson to become Minister of Information

I mean, wow… But… I…

Seriously, I need to have a lie down now. Am I really living in a 1984 world?

My philosophy:

No one’s gonna take me alive,
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

Whilst the rest of the country is sitting on its arse, claiming benefits, not working, not being productive, watching X Factor / Jeremy Kyle, terrorising the streets, those of us who do work – and I mean proper work, not some jobsworth crap in the council, suckling at the teat of the state – are taxed more and more, penalised more and more, and just basically screwed over more and more.

Well, no more. I vow to always rail against big government, to always question pogroms, to always question, to always fight for my rights (and not the Yooman Rights that Blair foisted upon us) – even when there may be no chance of winning:

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves” – Winston Churchill

Labour have absolutely ruined the Great Britain I loved. They have systematically destroyed the goodwill they inherited in 1997, pissed away all the money that came their way, allowed unfettered immigration to radically alter the look of the land (with no benefit whatsoever), screwed us over on Europe, ruined education, massively increased the surveillance state (no surprise given that the Left were friends with the KGB until the early 80s), turned us all into wishy-washy people who can’t think for themselves, launched unjust wars – ah, generally they’ve just f’d up the entire country.

I sincerely hope that the new Government (please don’t let it be Labour) will begin to rectify what Labour have done; they can start by having an “in or out” referendum on the EU, if we’re still in they can repatriate our powers, MASSIVELY cut the state in all areas (including those godawful quangos), sort out immigration, and for Pete’s sake, sort out the police, i.e. get them arresting criminals as opposed to members of the public. Oh, and they can drop that ID card AND the databases that will support it.

This rant is over, but there’s more, lot’s more. I read somewhere that Labour may become insolvent after the next election – I sincerely hope so. Anything that will keep them from EVER coming back and screwing us over again would be great.

And I do not believe that all politicians are the same. Thanks to the expenses scandal, there is going to be a considerable changing of the guard at the next General Election, with young blood should come change.

If not, I’m starting a civil war.

Here’s a fantastic new campaign from the people behind The Taxpayer’s Alliance – Big Brother Watch.

Not only do they have stories about Labour’s never-ending intrusion into our lives (e.g. spying on its own citizens computer use), but they have a fun competition: send off for your free stickers, slap one on the most heinous piece of Big Brother interference you can find, take a photo of it and send it in

H/T to Old Holborn

I found this via The Devil’s Kitchen (fruity language, be warned), a chance to receive a free book (first 5,000 ordered) on how Britain could be better off out of the EU in ten years time, when the book is set:

Ten Years On: Britain Without the European Union – click for a free copy

Franky, I’d love to leave it – I perceive no benefit whatsoever.

I’ve never seen so many people living in a bubble. On the same day Gordon was spouting off Labour’s achievements with the passion he reserves for tractor statisics, the police were doing a piss-poor job of apologising for not helping a mother and her daughter (who both committed suicide) after years of harassment by the very yobs Labour have helped breed. I note that that Gordon did not mention the £800 BILLION debt he’s saddled us with, which wll take YEARS to clear.

The Labour Party is truly through the looking glass: political interviewers will state clearly what ills face Britain, and then the Labour party stooge will swear blind that it’s not true, it isn’t happening, when clearly it is, e.g. “24-hour drinking was been a complete disaster”, “no it hasn’t”. Why aren’t the interviewers calling them out on it? The line about 500,000 children lifted out of poverty is bogus but no-one pushes them for facts.

As for all the wonderful new ideas (stronger ASBOs, gulags for slags, care homes), either: 1) why haven’t you done it before or 2) where’s the money coming from, we’re broke?

Here’s my take: cut welfare massively (I’m even fine with losing child support), stop making the poor breed kids they don’t love just for child allowance, only give child allowance for the first two children, stop all the public sector pension disparity, review council salaries, cut down the Whitehall staff (I notice Andy “guyliner” Burnham was going on about Gershon-style “efficiency” drives – again, you’ve been in twelve years, why haven’t you done it?)… There’s loads more I could suggest, but it’s slightly to the right of Ghengis Khan

Anyway, Labour losing the support of The Sun is excellent news and has annoyed Gordon no end, which is good. There’s also rumours about that say Labour may cease to be a political force after the next election as they’re broke, out of money, choked – especially if their paymasters, the unions, withdraw their support. That said, I wouldn’t want the propping up the Conservatives and expecting things in return as no doubt they would.

Anyway, nice to see Gordon looking so happy:

Kay Burley’s face says it all at the end, H/T to Guido Fawkes

From the excellent V For Vendetta:

Now, rise up and throw out this rotten, incompetent Labour government, who have ruined Britain.

From The Telegraph: All parents to sign ‘behaviour contracts’

Wow. Just, wow. In addition to being probed, monitored, pestered and harassed by the ever-burgeoning state, Labour are proposing that all parents sign these contracts before the start of term. More than likely, each term. Parents face fines (which is all Labour know) if they break these contracts, which I sincerely doubt would stand up in court.

I am lucky (well, luck’s got nothing to do with it) to have a son who is well-behaved 90% of the time. I expect the school to discipline the very moment he steps out of line, rather than leave it up to me well after the event. I do, of course, also discipline him as well. These contracts are being foisted on people because some lazy, ignorant, stupid parents are unable to teach their children how to behave and teach them what is expected of them. Then again, they are probably Labour’s core vote.

Also, these “contracts” will have to be monitored and enforced, which means (you guessed it!) more State jobs – as if we didn’t have enough already. The State has expanded massively under Labour, busybodies that they are.

Dear Government: Sod off and leave me alone.

It’s about damn time – now scrap the entire scheme and save upwards of £10 billion…

H/T the Daily Telegraph

Today is Cost Of Government Day. Today, you finally start working for yourself as opposed to working for Gordon Brown’s inept Labour “government”. For the past six weeks, you’ve actually been working to pay fund the amount of borrowing the government is doing. Hey, up until May the 14th, you were paying for all the taxes we have to pay.

Anyway, there’s a fantastic explanation of what Cost Of Government Day is and all its ramifications at Old Holborn’s blog by a chap called Dr Eamonn Butler, the director of the Adam Smith Institute. It’s well worth a read as it explains how much debt we’re in (oddly enough, Labour is keeping some debt off the books), how the private sector is faring as opposed to the public (state) sector, etc.
