Pandemic Amnesty?

 I've seen recently posts on a "Pandemic Amnesty".

For what?

For people prosecuted and fined for exercising their right to Freedom?

Or is it an amnesty for those that removed the rights of the people?

Those that forced people to have a vaccination in order to keep their job?

Those that produced an MRNA gene therapy and called it a "vaccine"?

Those that lied and said the "Vaccine" stopped transmission?

Those that lied and said it was effective and stopped you getting the virus?

Those that lied and said this "vaccine " was safe?

Those that sought to indemnify themselves and their companies against issues arising from the "Vaccine", up to and including death?

Those that suppressed the truth about the origins of the Pandemic?

Those that removed dissenting voices about the pandemic?

Those that locked down the population under pain of fines?

Those that almost bankrupted the economy to pay for Furlough when there was no need?

Those in authority that panicked and lost all sense of good judgement?

Those "advisors" that kept feeding the government doomsday scenarios instead of the truth?

Those that didn't actually follow the science?

Those that took power and refuse to relinquish it?

Those unelected beaurocrats that effectively controlled the population?

Those unelected elite personalities that continue to give bad anti-democratic advice?

Those that continue to mandate vaccination when it is proved not to be effective?

Just who do we pardon with this amnesty. So many have trampled over our rights, so many have worked in their own interests, so many have sought to gain benefit, so many have sought to increase control over the population.

There can be no amnesty to soothe the conscience of those that did wrong. Those that know they did wrong and those that must accept guilt for their wrongdoing.

Vote-Winning Policy for UK Political Parties.

Okay, looking realistically at the current government, we're now stepping into the campaign for the next election. This "Conservative" government couldn't manage the proverbial in a Brewery, so they're done. They're toast.

The thing is, what would a true Conservative party offer?

Well, smaller government is one thing. Previous governments have required ever more tax revenue in order to provide fewer services. Because the cost of those services increases year-on-year. Now we are looking at paying more tax than we did in the Fifties, with smaller armed forces than back then, no civil defence force than back then, you get the picture.

Then there's the "invisible" or indirect taxation: pay and display parking in towns, paying small fees for local council services like registering to use refuse dumps, libraries, prescription fees, etc.

A true Conservative party would reduce the size of government. Cut the civil service down to the bare essentials. It would star a campaign to reduce public sector administrative pay. All those senior "executives" in councils getting six-figure salaries needs to be stopped. The money should go to those at the sharp end, not those at the top. You go into public service to serve, not to feather your nest or line your pockets.

A true Conservative party would end illegal immigration. By any and all means. If it requires us to leave the ECHR, then so be it. The easy response is the ECHR cares more for the rights of those outside the country rather than the rights and wellbeing of those that live here. We shouldn't be "required" to pay billions to house these migrants because of their rights. Instead, those billions should be spent on those already here. Families in poverty, those with disabilities. 

We certainly shouldn't be putting up with the lawsuits that make out that army barracks aren't good enough for the asylum seekers. They've apparently come from distress and hardship, so they should be glad of any support, not demand four-star accommodation. That is taking the piss. Especially when the best that homeless families get is B&B accommodation. 

Another thing a Conservative party should offer is less intrusion into our lives. Less regulation, less nosey-parkery. There are aspects of my life that the government do not need to know about or get involved in.  

The same goes for the Banks. My colleague just bought a car. The bank denied the Bank Transfer. Whgen he phoned up they asked him all sorts of questions: what colour is it? Is it MOT'd,? Where did you find it? I'd have told them to bugger off. 

I had a similar situation a few years ago when I wanted to withdraw a grand in cash from the Bank. No, they didn't have that much money in the bank.... Can you believe that? My mother wanted to deposit £500 into my account at my branch. Not somewhere else, or a different bank. Nope My Bank and my branch. They refused to accept the money.

This intrusion has to stop.

A true Conservative party will champion less intrusion and more concentration on what really matters: Crime, Education, Health and Welfare. Everything else: fuck off out of my life.

A true Conservative party will champion help for those that help themselves: it will make it easier for people to start up small businesses. It will abolish the heinous IR35 rules, so that anyone that wants to take the risk can work self-employed. There will be no blurring of "Gig economies" and PAYE. If you are self employed, you do not expect to be paid holiday pay, sick pay etc. But by the same token, the remuneration will be enough to cover that. Companies employing contractors would need to pay a decent rate and not use self-employment as an excuse to pay lower than the minimum wage.

Not one mainstream party is promoting the policies above. None of them, including the current so-called Conservative party actually support Conservative policies. They are all big-state, big-government, Big-tax parties. They want more of your money and more control. In effect you are paying more money for them to interfere in your life more. 

You must be a little bit mad to vote for that.

Russia Pledges to Withdraw from Kherson. To Nuke it?

As above. If I was a citizen in Kherson I would leave the city. There has been talk of Nukes on both sides and some sort of nuclear event in Kherson would deny it to Ukraine.

Alongside that Russia could blame the West, probably saying the West had supplied nukes to Ukraine in defiance of previous agreements.

This can't be a simple withdrawal by Russian forces.
