A Gauntlet To Government

• Until leading politicians speak the truth at all times, I won't believe anything they say (unless they pledge to raise our taxes, which is a promise they never fail to keep).
• Until the aforesaid politicians answer simple questions honestly and without evasion, I won't give them an ounce of credence. They are professional liars, and the truth is not in them.
• Until political parties withdraw the 3-line whip that keeps their MPs in the party line, I won't support any of them. They are merely thinly-disguised flavours of the same establishment.
  
• Until the primary purpose of Government changes from being the handmaiden of vast commercial and financial interests to maintaining the interests of the citizens of the so-called United Kingdom, I won't even tentatively regard it as our representative.
• Until the Government through its agencies commits itself to the protection of all elements in society who are weak, vulnerable and defenceless, I shall oppose it.
• Until the priority of Government is the restoration of our ancient civil rights as codified in the Magna Carta and other historical legal instruments, I can't begin to lend it any moral support.
• Until the great number of laws enacted by the repressive Labour regime are repealed, I will regard any subsequent administration as equally repressive and vindictive - if only because it has failed to right a momentous series of wrongs.
• Until Government ceases to favour small and vociferous minorities at the expense of the majority, I will regard it with the same measure of the contempt that it displays to the opinions of the majority of the public.
  
• Until Government commits itself to encouraging enterprise, hard work, integrity and personal responsibility, I won't support it. It is morally bankrupt.
• Until the BBC's charter is dissolved because of its unswerving bias in favour of communitarian Marxism, I will oppose its continuation and will not take it seriously as a responsible broadcasting medium.
• Until Government treats individuals like responsible adults who are able to make sensible and informed choices concerning their own lives, I will vigorously oppose it - whatever its partisan flag.
• Until Government stops banning things for the sake of it - and to further its control over the details of the peoples' lives, I will not support it.
• Until the Government fears and respects the people of this country, I will continue to regard it with contempt.
• Until Government allows complete and unqualified freedom of speech, association and religion, I cannot support it.
  
• Until Government allows a referendum for the public concerning our future in Europe, I will regard it as de facto - and not de jure. Europe has no business here.
  

Until these conditions are met - I will remain a (responsible and Common Law-respecting) anarchist.

Government

At the bottom of Old Holborn's blog site are the following words - I hope he doesn't mind if I quote them here:

To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.

My response to Andy Reed's Reply

This is my reply. No further response has been expected or received.

Hi Andy - Many thanks for your reply. Your blanket response to my concerns is typical of the pragmatism of these times. May God have mercy on us if we continue in the implementation of a Fabian corporate state ; it will be sovietism all over again. What are you all building ? This is my worry for the future of my children and grandchildren. I believe there are sinister agendas at work ..

A Reply From My MP

This is Andy Reed's response to my Facebook message:

Whilst it is fine to live in a puritanical ideological bubble - I don't think it is sustainable.

In Loughborough if you don't vote for me you get a right wing Tory MP - simple as that.

I clearly won't change your mind on your poltics so I won't waste anytime doing so. But enjoy having a Tory MP and government more right wing than Thatcher

A Letter To My Local Labour Member Of Parliament

I sent this to my MP recently to express my opinions on the corrupt and malevolent organisation that he represents:

Hi, Andy -- I've seen the video you posted - a good reminder of what Labour has stood for over the years. Ideologically I'm a socialist - I believe that the needs of people and communities matter more than profits and balance sheets. However, I believe that despite the sterling work of parliamentarians like yourself, Labour has displayed a malevolent face in foreign and domestic policy; I only have to think of the machinations of Blair to justify participation in the Iraq war. I think of the phenomenal increase in offences created to criminalise the public (over 4000 since '97) and the brazen encroachment of the surveillance state under the pretext of our national security. And we, the inhabitants of this island, are bracing ourselves for yet more financial hardship because of the irresponsibility of the corporate elite (who I think really run this country). This is not the country my father fought for - in many ways it has become a shoddy playground for party apparatchiks and Common Purpose so-called graduates in national and local areas of government. And why did Peter Mandelson say that we are in a 'post-democratic era'? The reason is that ordinary people don't matter - and have been disenfranchised from the really big decisions that matter to us all, eg the Lisbon Treaty.
Andy - I respect you and believe that you're doing a really good job. But I don't want to vote for a party that has sold its soul to the corporate establishment, and until Labour starts to demonstrate that it represents the public rather than the political elite, I will be a disaffected voter.
