Best Before Election 2010: Aftermath

Well there you had it, you got the government you voted for and possibly deserve. If it's a victory for anyone its for the people over the right wing media who expected a tory shoo in. It wasn't. Everyone struggled for power. The Sun didn't win it. Murdoch's influence slipped. Even Sky's Kay Burley and Adam Boutlon lost the plot when it seemed that their boy may not get the keys to 10 Downing Street.

Kind of says it all.

Normal service will be resumed next time.

BEST BEFORE: Bigoted Woman

Well, I've been ranting my thoughts about law, order and education and touched on daft party political broadcasts. (By the way, I wonder if those holding Tory or Labour placards in the faces of the opposing party when they arrive at rallies, think about what arseholes they look.)

Suppose I should discuss immigration. This might be difficult because so many insecure British people are paranoid about it. Apparently it's the big issue on the doorstep. The biggest issue on my doorstep is the doormat. But because Mrs Duffy is worried about where all the Eastern European immigrants are 'flocking from' then we must therefore share her views and the views of the British people. But hang on...Gordon was right! Duffy is a bigot, isn't she? OK, she didn't use strong language but she mentioned immigrants as opposed to illegal immigrants. Is she confused or am I the one who's bonkers? If you believe everything you read then the issue of immigration must be the number one concern in people's lives...far more than illness, stress, having no money...unless these issues are the fault of the immigrants as well. Surely if this is the main issue on the doorstep and Duffy's language and suggestion is merely mild, you have to wonder the kind of offensive crap that is coming out of people's crooked, brown, gaped toothed mouths. The concern would also have to be why it is that there are so many seemingly ignorant bigots and racists, pissing out the same, lazy cliched, tired bullshit they've picked up down the pub or at the bus stop, as some kind of excuse for why they feel so shit about their lives.  And they feel like victims. I swear, and it's not the first time I heard it, there was some miserable looking bloke in the pub, one weekday afternoon on the news who said to some reporter 'You can't say 'owt these days because you get accused of being a racist.' Hmm, but who would that bother in your world? Your racist mates? Here are some extracts and warning signs that you're hearing bullshit and any further discussion needs to be bypassed.

'They take our jobs'
'Free housing...'
'They're dirty.'
'...spread diseases...'
'They should learn English...'
'I'm not racists but...'
'They shag animals.'
'They're suicide bombers'
'They created the Volcanic ash cloud from that Iceland place...'


Maybe it's progressive of me but in my experience the majority of people with, um, ASBO's for instance happen to be British, mainly white British.  Most people claiming or absusing benefits, taking drugs, pissing their lives away and killing each other happen to be white and British. Diseases, as far as I can gather are due to bacteria but a fair few of this bacteria is spread by British people as well. And before banging on and on about how immigrants should learn English (which the majority do) it'd be a great idea if many British people actually knew how to string an English sentence together that isn't full of complete shit. Jobs? Well you can't knock immigrants for wanting to work, often losing benefits. Blame the dodgy British bosses who can't be arsed paying out the minimum wage. So they don't take your jobs. You just don't want to work for less than £400 a week, despite having no experience, having no qualifications or being unwilling to have a go. When I'm in the queue for an interview, I know that I've as much chance as any immigrant, not that I've seen immigrants going for the same job as me. After all they'd have to be pretty sharp at English to get past the application process...but wait a minute, I thought they couldn't speak Engli- Ah, so my job isn't at threat. Hooray!

I'm more concerned about these so called shift, scroat-like white, British people like myself. They are the real danger. Especially if they are stupid, insecure and ignorant. They're the one's committing crimes and making arseholes of themselves. They cut you up on the roads, they piss about on the streets at weekends because they can't go for a night out without becoming momentary pissheads, they beg you for money for the phone, they nick your stuff, they're noisy, they wind up teachers, they wind up old people on the buses, they watch shit TV shows, they knife, abuse and rip you off. They just want to drag everyone else down. Perhaps before having any sort of workable policy on border controls we have to understand and educate these lazy fucks, many who haven't ever been beyond their own district, let alone actually know where Eastern Europe is.


OTHER POLICIES

Was going to write about Health, Foreign policy and Business but I'm sapped out for now. In a nutshell, keep on supporting and investing in NHS, raise wages for Nurses, deduct wages from Trust managers who don't nearly do anything like Nursing staff. Let's get out of Iraq and Afganistan. It would save us money. Perhaps a percentage of what we're spending now could be diverted to reconstruct the places we've bombed into the stoneage. Scrap Nuclear missiles. In the event of a full conflict we'd all be wiped out anyway. It's ludicrous to suggest we need them for defense. We have adequate defence in the daft event that France, Germany or The Netherlands would try and invade us. Think of the money we could save. Considering money and business development, why not recruit Martin Lewis from Money Saving Expert, who can help Britain with its finances. He also hates bankers, hedge fund investors and fat cats as well. Sack Ed Balls.
