Voices from the Past in Politics

It's interesting that various voices from past governments keep cropping up or even worse, getting jobs in current governments.

Notwithstanding Kier Starmer, who is a left-over from the Blair government (why anyone who identifies themselves as of the left would vote for anyone that had anything to do with that government I do not know). But I digress. Starmer is a voice and an ideology from that government. He's in charge and it's hard to argue that things will be different under him.

We'll get the same Globalist, don't care about the poor guy policies that Blair instigated back in the Nineties. I will not vote for Starmer or a government run by him, because I know that government will not work in the interests of the people that vote it into power. It will be instead favour corporate sponsors and supra-national undemocratic organisations.

The Tories are no better. They've just brought "Blair Mk2" David Cameron back into the cabinet. Another globalist, who is now foreign secretary. A soothing voice for the globalists after the wobble of Liz Truss being voted in by the Tory party members. Truss was dispatched by the media with suspiciously extreme haste in order to anoint another globalist in the form of Rishi Sunak.

So we now have David Cameron back on the News, telling us we need another war. In a replay of the Libya playbook, we're now bombing the Huthi rebels in Yemen. And we know how well that went for Libya, the West and David Cameron. It wasn't the spectacularly successful military campaign the media made it out to be.

Of course the dark horse is Blair himself. The globalist warmonger-in-chief with the dodgy dossier is still around, every so often popping up and giving his opinion. As if we needed his advice.

I just wonder, why can't these people slip into retirement quietly? There used to be in the past an unwritten rule about making comment about current government policy. In other words keeping quiet.

This is just one more indicator of the globalist elites and how they rule over us, rather than governments ruling FOR us. 

I'm really sick of it. I'm sick of hearing their voices, sick of their policies that favour global corporations, sick of their endless warmongering that benefits no-one, sick of their endless virtue signalling at the expense of the people that put them in power.

Why as a Low-Paid Working Class Male I will not vote for the Labour Party.

First off, let me state I'm low Paid. Under 20 grand, which puts me way under the average wage. I'm not on minimum wage (although if the Conservative pledge to bump it up to £10.50 an hour happens, I may well be).

So, I'm working class, low paid. Yet I will not vote for the Labour Party, the traditional home of the low paid working class.

If there is anyone out there reading this that wants to attempt to convince me that voting Labour would benefit me, please do put it in a comment. I'd love the debate.

The reasons are many, but the overall reason is that the Labour Party and it's policies do not represent me. It does not champion the working class. It does not fight for us.

Instead it concentrates on platitudes and virtue signalling.

"More money to the NHS"... which means more taxation of my already meagre wages.

"Better Welfare"... which means even more taxation of my already meagre wages to pay benefits.

"Employers and the Rich should pay more tax"... which means there's a high likelihood that thanks to the already huge pressures on retail companies thanks to increased rates, higher employer N.I. or higher business rates or corporation tax will tip retail companies over the edge into closure. I high chance then that I'll end up jobless and on benefits then.

"Open Borders and Free Movement".... which means more competition for jobs, especially low-paid jobs. Which means there's a higher risk of me and other people like me staying on benefits.

"Free NHS treatment for non-UK nationals"... means that the NHS will not be able to cope as it tries to treat the world's sick and ill. The clamour to pay even more tax money to the NHS will increase and taxation of even low wages like mine will increase. The alternative is to borrow more now and then get the kids and grandkids to pay off the debt.

We had that with Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, that cynically borrowed massively to fund their supposed boom. The tax credits system or Tony Blair job creation scheme as I call it. The scheme that rather than reduce taxes at source, set up a huge administration to take a portion of tax to give back to working families and also pay the wages of the new administrators set up to administer it. So wasteful and so cynical as it allows companies to pay even lower wages to families while relying on taxpayers to make up the shortfall. Genius!

As it stands, I cannot see how the Labour party's policies would benefit me. Conversely, all I see is more negativity in my future if Labour get into power.

Nope, I will not vote for Labour.
