Rumours of a New Conservative Party Become More Than Rumours.

 It seems there is more than just rumours of a new Conservative party rising. 

I've long said we need something to unite all of the Conservative factions in UK politics, essentially by a merger of the independent Conservative parties that have sprung up in the past decade.

But now there appears to be a party arising with some bit hitters behind it.

The rumours of the Farage/Johnson alliance and them starting yet another political party on the right may not be just rumours.

The day Boris resigned, the "National Conservatism Party" applied to the Electoral Commission to become a new political party. 

It remains to be seem if this is "The" Conservative party that Nigel Farage was talking about a few weeks ago when he let slip he was talking to some big names in the Conservative movement.

It will be interesting to see if Aaron Banks is er, Bankrolling this new party and if it's just yet another right wing party to split the right wing vote, or if it can garner enough support to draw members away from Reform, Respect, UKIP and the like.  Hopefully with big names it can gain gravitational force to pull members and candidates from the other parties. 

But it will have to move quickly. Although Farage has the ability to amass a following in double-quick time, just look at the Brexit party and how quickly it created a movement that posed a real threat to the actual Conservative party.

The only downside is the name: National Conservatism, sounds a lot like National Socialist.  But if the far left radicals are going to call you a Nazi for being moderate, you might as well do a bit of trolling at the same time eh? 

Start wearing black shirts? Get Hugo Boss to design some merch? The options for trolling could be endless. 

Maybe the party could have "We Care For the Majority" as it's motto? So that when some minority has a go they can say "We don't care about Minorities, we only care about the Majority".

Because one of the main failings of the political system over the past few decades is pandering to minorities to the extent they think they can rule over the majority. Well, it's about time the majority put minorities exactly where they should be: nowhere near government policy. 

Also no Marxist polices should be tolerated within the party. No identity politics, no gender ideology, everything should be based on sound scientific fact. No feelings allowed.

But anyway, the connection to Farage and Johnson is just mere speculation at the moment. But we'll see.

COVID-19: Mandatory Vaccination: No Boris, We do NOT Need a Discussion on it. It SHOULD NOT even be on the Fucking Table.

 Last night, one chilling part of Boris' speech was the fact he commented it's maybe time to have a discussion on mandatory vaccinations.

No it isn't Boris. Not in any way, shape or fucking form. 

Mandatory vaccination may be a thing in Germany, or Austria. But we went to war to prevent that sort of thing the last time the Germans and Austrians tried it. Think evil Nazi Doctor Mengele. The Nuremberg Code. That's what mandatory medical procedures are all about.

Are we now about to suddenly approve of female genital mutilation because it's mandatory in some countries? No we're fucking not, because it's immoral and unethical.

The same goes for mandatory vaccination. 

I will personally warn Mr Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister. If you do this, if you introduce mandatory vaccinations, then you go to war with the people of the UK. Not a minority of the people, the majority. The working class. The people that know what fair play and ethics mean. The people you upper class nobs always call on to save your skins.

Well, sunshine, the tables are turned and we will not comply.

We will not comply to tyranny, medical or political.

We will not comply with the bully boys you have employed in the Police Force.

You are very close, all of you to becoming the enemy of the people. The people will retaliate.

You have been warned.

No Deal....

So, a question I have is: how does Boris get out of the corner Parliament have painted him into.

Now that he's being forced to ask the EU for an extension and additionally forced by Parliament to accept any extension to article 50 - no matter how long, just how does Boris exit the EU on October the 31st?

Does he do all they command, get an extension and then trigger an immediate election, so he can revoke any extension by Christmas?

Does he sit on his hands, refuse to ask for an extension and face prosecution?

Does he go to Brussels, mumble to himself he'd rather like an extension but no-one hears him and he comes back with a clear conscience?

Does he ask for the extension, then fail to complete the necessary paperwork in time thus automatically exiting on the 31st?

Does he ask for the extension but  say there will be no more payments to the EU after the 31st?  Under those circumstances do the EU call his bluff and agree an extension or refuse?

It's quite obvious Boris' government think October 31st is the deadline. There's a huge, expensive ad campaign on TV and radio going on at the moment. The 31st of October is the end, it's the finishing line... be prepared.

Like for the businesses that are involved with trading with the EU, they need to take heed. For the vast majority of businesses it will be carry on as usual.

I'll have to have a look at the repeal of the European Communities Act, to see when that kicks in. If that's on the 31st, then Boris doesn't have any legitimacy in the EU after that date anyway, as EU law is not valid in the UK and we have no obligations to the EU either. EU law fails to be prime and we revert back to good ol' UK law.

If that kicks in on the 31st, we don't pay any money to the EU, so the EU are bound not to extend beyond the 31st and all our MEPs get kicked out of the EU Parliament.

I suspect if Boris goes to the EU, asks for an extension and doesn't give anything back in return, the EU will tell him to sod off. But he's fulfilled the remit of the Bill Parliament have forced upon him. The Bill only compels him to ask for an extension and then accept any extension the EU propose. It doesn't compel him to give anything in return. If Boris and the EU fail to agree anything by the deadline, then exit is triggered.

Not the best way to exit, to negotiate past the deadline and  default out, but I think that's what Boris is relying on.

Sour Grapes at the Vic

It seems that Ex London Mayor Ken Livingstone is upset because Boris Johnson is appearing in an episode of Eastenders.

It seems the (Ex) Mayoral Moron can't distinguish being a self-serving attention-seeking politician trying to push themselves and their agenda (several times) onto a popular drama and a Mayoral candidate that appears to get on with the job that is asked to appear on the drama and gives up a little time to do it.

I've been impressed with the conduct of Boris Johnson as Mayor. I did think when he got in that he would be a determined media hog and not get to grips with the policies, but I've been proved wrong. He's been strong when needed, as when several staff members have needed the boot, or in his forthright dealings with Met chief Sir Ian Blair. Even now he's quite rightly thinking of economies and wants to hold certain events at wembley stadium, rather than build yet another stadium near the Olympic site, saving millions. I think the only policy of his I'm ambivalent about are his new Routemaster buses. But he may suprise me with that one as well.
