The Evil of Political Correctness.

I've blogged before about how I consider the politically correct, virtue signalling woke middle class as essentially the personification of evil. But I've never really tried to put into words how evil or why I think they are evil and they musty be eliminated at all cots.

Okay, here goes.

Is it evil to deliberately condemn your daughter to a life with fewer rights than you?

Is it evil to deliberately condemn your granddaughter to a life as a second class citizen?

Is it evil to undo the centuries worth of hard-fought women's rights just so you can look good?

To me it is pure evil. It's the worst kind of evil to deliberately destroy your children's future just to look good to your neighbours or the dinner party circuit.

Is it evil to condemn your country to a future of unenlightened radical religious zealotry?

As they say, ignorance is no defence. You cannot defend accepting millions on Muslim immigrants into the country to look sanctimonious and not understand the consequences of your actions for future generations. If that's your defence, you are worse than evil. You are evil and a willing idiot.

I cannot comprehend how people cannot see what is happening before their own eyes. Are they really so blind? Or are they ignoring the consequences of their actions?

Can they not see things that are happening now and extrapolate what the future would be like?

Are they happy to submit to Muslim rule then? Are they happy for their female children and grandchildren to second-class citizens?

Are they waiting for someone else to do something about it?

Are they really that evil?

I guess so. I can see it, a significant number of people can see it, but why do the middle classes think it's acceptable to virtue your country into oblivion?

Do they really have no conviction, no patriotism, no sense of religion? Are they so morally bankrupt?

Genuine questions. I guess even the middle classes can't answer me because they don't see the evil in their stance. To them they are being kind, politically correct, virtuous, you name it. Without looking at the future.

I'm On The Right of Centre Politics, But I Support Taxing Billionaires.

You'd think that if I was on the right of centre politically, I'd support the rich enjoying the fruits of their labours in the form of lower taxation, but I don't.

If I, at the lower end of the scale are paying over 50% of the money I earn in the various income taxes, VAT and Stealth taxes, then I believe that the rich should also pay exactly the same percentage. 

After all, isn't that fair? 

I pay a third of my wage in income tax, National Insurance, NEST payments and that's before I start to pay VAT on everything I buy (remember when VAT was a luxury tax?). Then I pay tax on insurance, on my pension payments, if I want to fly from an airport on holiday. 

So the amount I pay in tax eventually comes to be over 50%.

So, why shouldn't billionaires pay the same? Why are they allowed to swap earnings for dividends which attract less tax?

Now I'm altogether against the IR35 tax rules that class independent contractors as employees, because it treads on the transition from PAYE to self-employed, but when it comes to passive wealth, that is earning income from huge savings, there has to be some trimming of the fat.

If you have several hundred million in savings, investments, property, etc. you are earning quite a bit moving that money around, buying property to let out (the favourite of millionaires because the primary asset increases in value along with the monthly rental income).

I can see an argument for not taxing increases in property portfolios under (say) two or three million pounds. That sort of protect the single house owner that bought a house in London almost a century ago and now own a million pound plus house. Taxing over 5 million in savings would also protect the majortity of people.

I'm talking of second, third and above properties. Those should be taxed because they are not homes for the owner, they are investments. Taxing them or making it difficult to own large numbers of dwellings should encourage billionaires to own fewer properties, releasing them for the likes of you and me. 

The whole capital gains tax system needs to be reworked, so that a lid is put on massive property investment, so possibly a sliding scale with an increasing percentage in tax for each extra property in the portfolio. 

There needs to be some way of taxing unearned income as closely as earned income. 

And as long as you hold a UK passport and you earn the money within the UK borders, you pay the tax here.

The same goes for corporations. No matter where your head office is, if you transact with a UK citizen and/or deliver to a UK address, you pay UK tax on the item inside the UK. No special treatment for Amazon, eBay and PayPal, for instance.

Foreign nationals should pay their fair share here and not syphon money abroad tax-free.

Those that can afford an extra one percent need to start paying it. In most cases it's us the ordinary people that helped you get that money, so it's only fair you pay some back and help us out, rather than sit on it and accrue ever-increasing wealth.

The tax system needs changing so that the transition from working class to middle class or the equivalents in earnings, is a light one. We need to encourage betterment and aspiration and entrepreneurship.

But I'm talking not about millionaires so much as several-multiple millionaires, where 1% tax on earnings of any type is a drop in the ocean to the multi-millionaire, but a significant sum to someone on benefit. 

And I don't subscribe to clobbering individuals or companies. A light touch at the top of earnings, skimming off the fat and dissuading the excessive behaviour and holding onto large amounts of property and continuing to amass huge passive wealth and not spending it (in other words putting it back into the economy) is what I'm proposing.

Farage's Fall a Chance for UKIP to Regain Momentum?

 I think it's becoming clear that Nigel Farage isn't the great hope we thought he was. He's walked back from the stop immigration and deport everyone stance people thought he had. I mean, he made the right noises, but thankfully Rupert Lowe has pointed out the difference between Nigel's perceived position and his actual one.

So, where to go from here?

Well, Rupert could start up an entirely new party that supports his viewpoint and somehow grow it organically in 4 years so it has a party structure and enough candidates to field in the next election.

Yeah, kinda impossible without a shit-ton of money and donors brave enough to shrug off the labels of racist.

I'd be the ideal candidate, because I believe the people promoting the current status quo are evil. They are supporting the draining of the world's health professionals to provide cheap labour for the NHS instead of training  UK nationals.  I think they are evil for allowing the UK to go backwards on the concept of rights and freedoms. The freedom of speech and the rights and freedoms of women are at risk. People that support immigration and the Islamification of the UK are evil and are effectively abusers of future generations. 

So, what do we do?

We need a party that is ready to go, with a structure and a local membership that we can get behind.

Arise UKIP. Sadly you didn't change your name after Brexit to reflect your broader strategy, but beggars can't be choosers. Personally, I'd have renamed UKIP to the Christian Conservative Party, or something of that ilk.

UKIP need to be swamping Social Media right now, with hundreds of messages, that show where they differ from the more moderate Reform. Get the message out, thump it home. Closed borders, no immigration, a complete split from Europe, rearmament of UK armed Forces, training of UK nationals instead of draining the world for talent, reversal of the need for degrees in the Police and Nursing professions, emphasis on vocational courses, an emphasis away from elitist influences, so democratisation of the law, repeal of most of what Tony Blair brought in. The return of double jeopardy so the Police have to do their job and gather overwhelmingly substantial evidence to prosecute and cannot constantly and maliciously harass defendants with constant court cases. Dropping Net Zero and a return to a sensible energy policy based on resources available within the UK.

I could go on, but it's up to UKIP to now get the message out and come to the fore. I want to see one message on UKIP policy every day. And I want it to be clear and concise. I want voters to know the difference between what Reform say and what Reform actually believe and what they will do.

No personal attacks, just policy where the two parties demarcate significantly and promotion of the personalities within UKIP. promotion of their cabinet, who is there at the top and responsible for health, borders, immigration etc. Let's get to know these people as a team and individually. Let's get them as famous as the Reform five (now four) MPs.

UKIP can do it, but it needs to be doing it now.
