QUOTA SYSTEM IS LOOKING UNLIKELY.

With a General election to take place within the next twelve months, which of the main parties would be able to mount an honourable case to form the next government? The corruption amongst many of our representatives at all levels is disgraceful. Any challenge to replace the current discredited outfit would be a display of total hypocrisy.

Where, therefore, does this leave our heavily implicated leader of the opposition, David Cameron? In a clear thinking society, hanging by a thread would be the ideal metaphor. In the event of a Tory victory, which is no longer assured, we can expect many more revelations regarding expenses, which hopefully will anger the electorate even more and will see off MPs of all complexion. Many to be consigned to the scrap heap, having paid their dues, determined by their constituents.

We have tolerated political neophytes for far too long, something that comes about when the electorate actually believes what the Government is saying is the truth, a rarity in itself, which leaves much of the public to take 'a good look in the mirror'. The unrest, which has now manifested itself, should have surfaced soon after the current Government's second term got under way. The declared wrongdoers in the Cabinet can't be replaced, as Brown is running out of people who can both read and write. Are you still proud to be British?






THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO DEMAND DEMOCRACY.

POSTMAN PAT MAKES HIS MOVE.

Alan Johnson, a.k.a. 'Postman Pat' makes a predictable move to divert attention from the quagmire that is Westminster, by suggesting that we change the voting system, presumably to proportional representation; the method preferred by the mother of ultimate sleaze, Brussels. In addition, he is showing his head above the parapet in the event of a tussle to replace Brown as PM.

One can recall the late Don Revie, who, in his capacity as football manager at Leeds United, when his team were under pressure, would direct his goalkeeper, Gary Sprake, to point out to the referee that the ball was square. We certainly didn't learn then, one wonders if we recognize such tactics now.







IS ANYBODY RUNNING THE COUNTRY?

DIVERSITY, QUOTAS AND EATING CROW.

Very recently, we spoke highly of Nadine Dorries regarding Cameron's policy of percentages of women in any future cabinet should the Tories win the next election. She, within days, marks her own card as being unsuitable for such a position. Giving the appearance of wanting to be appointed official councillor to our persecuted MP's, of all parties, in order to carry out the hounding to which they are currently being subjected. This is not the kind of person that the author is looking for to get the best out of his taxes. In addition, it would appear that the West Midlands Police Force has embarked upon a policy involving an increased percentage of women and ethnic recruits. It really does test the brain cells of the logical thinker.



Please let us resist the philosophy that quotas are good for us. Merit only must be the rule. To pursue the EU socialist dogma is a constituent that has plunged us into the current mess in which we find ourselves.













IS THERE A FAT LADY OUT THERE WHO CAN SING?

NATURE CONTINUES TO LOOK AFTER ITSELF.

Following our recent ten day break, the most obvious manifestation on our return was the growth of the flora in our adequate but small garden, which consists of three trees, and approximately a dozen bushes. All of which have definitely been performing their special duty of sucking in as much Carbon Dioxide as possible. A clematis planted in spring '08, 450mm tall, (18" in real money) was approx 4' 6" at the end of '08, is now around 8' high and is about to devour it's own purpose-built pergola.






CONCLUSION: CO2 IS GOOD FOR US, IT MAKES THE PLANTS GROW.

MAKE THIS THE MAGNA CARTA MOMENT.

It would be easy to think that the nation has had total success this week regarding the failings of Parliament, and the Speaker in particular. The political establishment will take the opportunity to 'huff and puff ' with the aim of getting themselves off the hook, to return to the status quo by a roundabout route, in an endeavour to baffle the public. Should this occur, the current high ground held by the voters will render itself completely futile. Don't give Westminster any room to manoeuvre. We can, and must, aim our venom at members of all parties, since they were collectively aware of the system. We have here a cleaning up opportunity of the highest magnitude. Don't miss it by being divided along party lines. This, like war, calls for patriotism.





One of Churchill's comments, which was along the lines of, "This isn't the end, the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning", or words to that effect. A sentiment worth considering,
with regard to the disgraceful situation in which we find ourselves.











THREE SUCCESSIVE PARLIAMENTS UNDER LABOUR WAS BOUND TO BRING DISASTER.

EUROPEAN, AND EXPENSIVE.

Having just spent ten days in Denmark, it becomes understandable how the cost of living in the EU accelerates with such momentum. This is a country which, to their credit, insist on retaining their own currency. The country's history gives an insight into how socialism works, or doesn't work. They are, as a nation much more fair minded regarding the distribution of wealth, as distinct from the British system of buying off the 'waster' with the workers' contributions. Nevertheless, their tax regime is onerous. How long can a system survive whereby income has to increase to keep pace with taxes? The cost of alchohol, although not completely prohibitive, is getting there. Strange since one of their flagship companies, Carlsberg, is one of the world's largest brewers.










THEY DO HOWEVER PRODUCE SOME VERY GOOD ALES, YES I MEAN ALES.

ONE PIG 'FLU' OVER THE CUCKOOS' NEST.

The current talk of an influenza pandemic is obviously a dream come true for the Government, as it stumbles from one crisis to another. To keep appearing in the media, updating us on the hour, with assurances that, as we are informed with equal regularity, the UK is the best prepared nation in the world for such a health scare.



Let us hope that this preparedness is better than the one in place to prevent us from going bust.







PERHAPS THERE WILL BE A BAN ON FOOTBALLERS SPITTING.

PLEASE, NOT CAMERON'S CONCUBINES.

To talk of a quota of either gender in a future cabinet is a big 'turn off ' for the intelligent voter. Sex, diversity or whatever the disposition of the personnel in the frame. We must never tolerate again anyone paddling their own canoe on behalf of special interest groups. The ridiculous Blair Babe syndrome has been an absolute disaster, which we must never forget.



Nadine Dorries has earned her stripes in the Tory ranks. Her concerns and stand, regarding the disgraceful loss of life through the indiscriminate abuse of current abortion legislation, is commendable. There may be others, but they are hardly shouting at us.







BE WARY OF VOTING FOR PERCENTAGES.
