In praise of our Government (?)

In praise of our Government.

Or, what has New Labour done for us.
  • Robbed the UK of its private pensions by raiding the pension schemes - whilst maintaining the pension scheme for MPs
  • Lied to us over Weapons of Mass Destruction
  • Sent our armed forces into Iraq after being informed it had no legal basis
  • Hounded Dr. Kelly to his death because he would not follow the party line on Weapons of Mass Destruction
  • Sent the armed forces into Iraq and Afghanistan, but forgot to equip them
  • Brought us Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Harriet Harman, the Dark Lord Mandelson, Alastair Campbell, and John Prescott
  • Sold our gold reserves at the bottom of the market
  • Presided over the massive recession and drove the country into debt that will last a generation to pay for it 
  • Gave away our sovereignty as of 1st December 2009 when the Lisbon Treaty came into force
  • Made the President of Europe our head of state
  • Put our Prime Minister in a position where he is now obliged to promote the aims and objectives of the European Union over and above those of the United Kingdom
  • Gave control of our financial institutions to (French) EU Regulators.
  • Signed up to the Human Rights act without realising the real beneficiaries are solicitors and criminals
  • Promised a referendum on the EU Constitution then reneged when it was renamed
  • Neutered the House of Lords so there are no checks and balances on their legislation
  • Disenfranchised thousands of children from university places by setting quotas that selected candidates based on background not education
  • Charged students for the University education that previous generations had for free and thus plunged them into years of debt
  • Set up secret "courts" to dispose of the assets of elderly patients
  • Imposed unelected regional assemblies, after a referendum on the subject voted against them
  • Presided over a greater erosion of the UK's Industrial Base than any previous Government (yes even more than Mrs Thatcher's).

And they created a country where:
  • A country where you can be followed home and reported to social services for chastising your child in public.
  • You are watched by CCTV cameras everywhere you go
  • You can be prosecuted for speaking freely
  • Council snoopers can wander round your house
  • You can be taxed for improving your house without any warrant or judicial intervention
  • You can be taxed for you view
  • The Civil Service are rewarded for spending their annual budget - not saving it.
  • Political correctness forms a destructive cancer at the heart of our society:
Political Correctness (def.) - a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
(with acknowledgements to the original author - whoever that was)

  • The police can take your DNA for any reason (even a simple traffic stop) and store it for up to 6 years even if you are entirely innocent of any wrong-doing.
  • If you ever see a child (or expect that you might see a child - even in the distance) you must have criminal checks.
  • You get Government TV adverts about reducing CO2 presented as a series of facts - which are unproven

But hey, don't forget:
  • You can sue other people for your own stupidity or clumsiness
  • You can be given a flat or house for getting pregnant
  • There's no need to work for a living
  • You can suppress scientific opinion with libel laws
