Little by Little the breakup of The Union continues ...

Rip a bit off and hand it to paddy, now another bit for dai, and another for jock, and pretty soon all that's left are the tory voters of middle england ....

by john of gwent

How many times in the last (say) two or three years have you heard a major news item regarding some new government policy be announced as if it applied to all and sundry and then the news announcer adds the words 'in england' as an afterthought.

As I sit here west of offas dyke I can park my car for free in HNS hospitals except the ones where long term contracts were outsourced in dodgy deals (i.e. most of the ones that matter to anyone needing medical help in a hurry) and I can get free prescriptions. I don't know exactly what my kid will be charged for going to university but I suspect it is less than someone who lives east of the ancient border control point.

Similarly those north of Hadrian's wall have a different set of rules again. And if Alex Salmand gets his way, those who live there are about to be slapped with a local income tax on top of gordon's highway robbery, to replace council tax., but at what cost I wonder. And cross-border alchohol smuggling to cater for the 18-21 year old banned from the supermarket shelf is about to become big business too.

So as I sit hear this morning and decide to peruse the BBC News website to see what cover story they are running today to disguise the fact that Gordon Brown is a dead man who hasn't used to lying down yet, what do I find but another nail in the united kingdom's coffin.

Gordon, it seems, has hit upon the need to be "family-friendly" and bring in "free childcare" in the form of a guaranteed free nursery place for every two year old. At the moment the statement on the BBC website makes it clear this is nothing more than an 'aspiration' (also known as a wizard wheeze to keep Brown's arse intact) but rest assured if he ever does get round to rolling it out, the famous two word afterthought will be added.

For Gordon has inherited from his former boss a country riven with strife both in its people and in the land that used to be able to stand united against a common enemy in more than just name.

North of Hadrians wall, the place is run by people determined to see a new European State called Scotland take its place at the Brussels gravy Train.

West of Offas Dyke the party of road sign defacers and cottage burners welcome with open arms the islamist intent on establishing within the arrogantly titled 'party of wales' a family dynasty.

And who can forget the day after Gordon Brown's hapless replacement at number 11, handed the poison chalice of Gordon's 10 per cent tax rate abolition and then forced to waste billions tinkering with the tax system to put it back without actually putting it back, delivered his first budget, Gordon found himself on the train to Brussels to plead to be allowed to reduce our VAT rate on certain goods. And was roundly told by the euro-bureaucrats to piss off.

And all that less than a week after some spokesdivot for his party of clingers-on to the trappings of power told us all we would retain our financial sovereignty even after the Lisbon Treaty was signed and ratified by the treacherous vermin.

But beware the advances of the stalinist state indoctrination fetishist in atruistic clothing. For the days when a nursery was a welcoming, friendly place for your little bundle of joy to play and learn to socialise with other kids, to come home beaming yet plastered in poster paint, their grubby hands keeping a death grip on their latest art masterwork (some of which, to be fair, looked far better than the crap in the galleries charles saatchi frequented), the sort of place we found for our youngest fifteen years ago to give Mrs JoG the chance to sort out the company books once a week, are long gone.

These days the nursery, and more particularly the state-run nursery is the factory of indoctrination for our children. It is the place they will be prepared for their primary school years in which they will be required to challenge their sexual orientation, according to the "School's Out" and "No Outsiders" "educational programmes"

Beware a politician about to go the way of a dodo bearing gifts.

One Nation, One Party under Our Leader

El Presidente - For Life

The financier-philanthropist George Soros once said: “Perhaps the greatest threat to freedom and democracy in the world today comes from the formation of unholy alliances between government and business. This is not a new phenomenon. It used to be called fascism…The outward appearances of the democratic process are preserved, but the powers of the state are diverted to the benefit of private interests.”

A serious question: What do you get if you put together a nationalist-patriotic, socially conservative, free market, business-worshipping, authoritarian, religious political leader? Answer: a highly dangerous, heady political cocktail with echoes in 20th century history. Who needs the Tory Party, or even the far-right British National Party when you have the Brown movement? Who needs political opposition of any kind when you have The Party that represents The Nation as well as everyone and everything? Who needs discussion and debate, or the casting and counting of votes when The Leader has already decided everything?

Welcome to New Labour 2007, the movement that has Tories, big business and military gentlemen as members of the government. Celebrate with The Party as it puts an end to nasty, “adversarial”, “divisive” conference politics in the name of Unity and the interests of the British People. Hear its Leader refer to Britain or Britishness no fewer than 71 times in an hour-long speech to The Nation. Stand up and cheer when Our Leader says: “I reach out to all those who work hard and play by the rules, who believe in strong families and a patriotic Britain, who may have supported other parties but who, like me, want to defend and advance British values and our way of life." Feel proud when you are told that in future there will be “British jobs for British workers” and that nasty foreigners who don’t behave will be shown the door (after being sent to detention camps first). Know that those who oppose Our Leader also reject the British Way and face the wrath of The State.

Thankfully, the Bournemouth Rally saw it that way too. How thrilling that those present voted in Stalinist fashion by 85% to put an end to conference resolutions and votes. Why, even the trade unions endorsed a motion to abolish their own role in the conference in exchange for zero, zilch, de nada. Lest we forget, their predecessors had actually set up The Party, then known as Labour, over a century ago. Few dared oppose the move, so important is Unity at this time for Our Nation. One brave soul, John McDonnell MP, rejected the move to create a monolithic Party, suggesting that the last person leaving the hall “turn off the lights please, they will be the lights of democracy”. The only dissenting voice on the floor came from Michael Meacher, who asked: “What is the point of conference if it is merely a talking shop and there is no way we can seriously influence the party leadership and the government into changing course?” There is no point, Michael. So let us hear no more rubbish from the left about reclaiming the party. There is no social democratic, reformist party to reclaim. It has been incorporated lock, stock and barrel into the process of corporate-driven globalisation.

The financier-philanthropist George Soros once said: “Perhaps the greatest threat to freedom and democracy in the world today comes from the formation of unholy alliances between government and business. This is not a new phenomenon. It used to be called fascism…The outward appearances of the democratic process are preserved, but the powers of the state are diverted to the benefit of private interests.” Brown did not quite get round to promising to make the trains run on the time, but the logic is there for all to see. Globalisation has dissolved the old, bourgeois-democratic parliamentary state and with it the parties that subscribed to that process. The alternative to the Brown nightmare has to come through extending democracy beyond the limitations of the decayed parliamentary state. A democratic choice would put people in charge of their workplaces and communities, giving them ownership of economic and financial resources presently misused and abused by the ruling elites. There is no time to lose in building a movement that can realise these aims and objectives.
