The problem isn’t so much finding solutions to problems, it’s their continuous looking for problems for their chosen final solutions.

Does anyone else remember that a fool or incompetent person used to be known as “a tool”. I remember it in my youth in the 1950s. So when TTK tells us his father was a tool maker he says more than he would wish to do.

“if you want a picture of Britain’s future, imagine a clown shoe stamping on a human face – for ever.”

Needs to enter the lexicon of standard quotes – quite superb.

It is certainly true that the current Labour government consists of a unique cohort of exceptionally dim individuals:
The Toolmaker’s Son,
The Mastermind,
The Ginger Slapper,
The Halifax tea lady,
The Loud Hair Dye.

They are not all dim, but they do march to a different honk.

They are dim, but then you don’t need to be 140IQ to follow instructions from the WEF, do you.

Like the IHT on family farms. Its not a clumsy effort to raise more tax money, its a calculated attempt to destroying family farming. As soon as you realise, put your hand up…

And with them a key component of England’s economic, social and cultural fabric.

They’ve destroyed heavy industry and mining which also were key elements.

They’ve destroyed the CoE.

They’re destroying education and the younger generations are growing up essentially feral.

Is it really a coincidence? Or enemy action?

And what must WE do to our enemies?

By whom, I mean Westminster, not putin.

Then there is the Tommy Robinson case. Why would a man be willing to go to jail for maintaining his film statements and those of his court witnesses, all of whom were called liars by the judge.

It’s turning out not to be so funny for the ordinary people who are currently in jail for long terms just for saying things many of us agree with, but which the communist police, judiciary and MPs think is beyond the pale?
It’s not funny. And a monkey, randomly and incompetently pulling the levers of power, can still cause great mayhem and armageddon. These communist scum must be politically destroyed. And there must be a reckoning on rhe way our society has become so totalitarian. The various Laws that enable any government to become despotic about people’s speech and thoughts, must be repealed. We have to go back to the basics only. You have no right to be protected from speech and ideas you do not like.

When my younger son and I visited Glastonbury (town) during the Covid Tyranny (for want of something better to do) his comment was “I suppose at least it’s useful to have all the nutters in one place.”

Unfortunately, we seem to have the same problem in Westminster.

The lowest common denominator underpinning almost every single one of Starmer’s budget policies has been the socialist drive to eradicate freedom of enterprise and to move the means of production into the state’s hands at the behest of large corporations. So far this has been proven to be so in Education, manufacturing, energy, and now farming.

“… to move the means of production into the state’s hands at the behest of large corporations.”

That’s Fascism not Socialism but the outcome is the same – central economic planning control.

Yes but do we really want incompetents, too stupid to know which levers and buttons to push in command of the ship or passenger plane as the rocks or mountain side approach?

Foreign intelligence agencies have rightfully concluded that the British are in a difficult and painful situation which cannot be resolved without outside help. Just admit it in your heart if you feel that this is truly the case. Vacuums don’t stay empty for long.
