Goes on and on! Tory Director of Campaigning goes on gardening leave, 2 prospective candidates investigated by police for dubious betting on the election date. Farage says misogynist Andrew Tate is a good ro;e model for young boys – fuck me, he cannot be serious – despicable toss pot is being prosecuted for rape, people trafficing and forming a crimainal gang to sexually exploit women, in Romania – may he rot there. The future for women has just turned bleaker. If it is true what I have heard that ‘Farage says what people think” – well they need to refer themselves to mental institutions – is this really waht 19% of Briton’s think? If so ‘beam me up Scottie” I want out of here. Do these people have children and grandchildren daughters, wives, mothers? I could have so much more to say about this! Our children are already polluted by the porn on the internet and its misogynist trumpets like Tate, without them being given an element of political respectability. Is this another import from the USA where Trump using prostitutes and grabbing woman by the pussy is acceptable?

How does any sane person contemplate voting for such a sleaze ball? Castration would be too kind! I am. begining to feel an iota of sympathy for the conservatives who have seen their party contaminated by the morons from Tufton Street, it is only an iota mind as they were content to sit back and let the likes of Johnson, Truss, Braverman, Sleaze-Dog and so many more manipulate them and ride on the back of their media frenzy.

Project Fear (my version) is begining to trouble me! Will Farage actually get a seat in Parliament and consolidate his support; will undecided voters allow candidates who I would remove from my front door with venom – I am happy to have a strong Lib.Dem prescence at the dispatch box for PMQ’s. Please do not stop the fun on 4/5th July with so many Portillo moments promised. Vote to keep the bastards out and consigned to history!

FFS can we get this debacle over? The Conservatives are faced with oblivion and the Times has said that governmment ministers are recommending a personal offensive against Starmer. So the election will get nasty – surely this is an insult to the intelligence of the British Public. I am sure that the DMail and DExpress and the Sun will weigh in with the sad journalists who should be job hunting! (What job could a failed and rabid political journalist get – possibly move to USA or Hungary?)

The crap press will possibly resort to royalty as often as possible, Megan is due for a roasting! The football has also made the front pages but this cannot be guaranteed as a distraction – especially with the behaviour of England followers. I am sure they will avoid all aspects of the climate crisis and environmental degradation.

So the polls show the tories down to 3rd place. Labour maintains its vote share. TBH I am rather surprised as I thought that Farage would eat into heir share (there are bigots on both left and right!). Maybe disgraceful assembly of motley candidates puts them off? There is also the fact that Farage is a one track pony with no clue on how to fix, basically anything – he just rattles away with max media coverage!

The Tories must be worried – they have no answer to F’s diatribe about migration – and they had no meaningful responce to Labour’s manifesto launch. Complaints abot a tax hike do not come close to the promised giveaway from their manifesto. Families can see how their tax burden has risen by £13000 since 2019, and everyone can see how public services have suffered. Complaints about the hike in private school fees is unimportant to most, as is their farcical plans for National Service. So the Tories are on the ropes – but they have a large war chest.

Labour basically said fuck all, but also has been stuffed by the tories incompetence and corruption. However their plans for the HoL and a retirement age of 80 is basically a joke (there are 12 over 90!). Revising all appointments made, or putting a 5 year limit on those nominated – with the possibilty of a re-election by the HoC? New nominations should be much more rigorous and spell out their expertise.

Basically (word of the day?) Labour have given the RWP nothing of substance to chunter about – and they are begining to realise that they are backing a big loser!

Gambling Commission has asked betting companies to investigate bets about election date choice – maybe there is more to be disclosed?

I have just placed an order for red hair dye – only decision is whether to dye it for the 4th July or 5th July or both! I will post photo’s to prove that I have done it. Having doubts about my sanity? I am too – maybe I should stick to 5th and a tory result of 50 or less seats? Although that would maybe require a permanent dye! Any suggestions?

Sunak avoided any major cockups yesterday, he had his parliamentary private secretary to do that for him! Craig Williams, prospective candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr in mid-Wales, was revealed to have placed a bet on the election date 3 days before Sunak surprised everyone with the announcement. Williams refers to £100 bet as a little flutter – he should say that down at the local food bank? I just fucking hate them all and hope that they get voted out of existence on July 4th – oblivion.

This is just a further example of the moral vacuum that exists in the heads of the remaining conservatives. Whist railing against tje right it has been that a large number of Reform candidates are linked with fascist web sites. How many voters are so bigotted and stupid to vote for them?

Has Rishi put the for sale signs up outside his house yet? He really does seem to want it to be all over – if fact that may have been why he called the surprise election in the first place. The latest gaffe is him stating that he too had had to go without during his childhood – he was deprived of a Sky Dish! Fuck me – life must have been hard for that 16 year old. I mean there were 3 million Sky subscribers back then so he was bemoaning the fact his parents chose not have one – yes they could have afforded it AND the fees at his priveledged public school. Poor little Rishi! I guess he will also claim that his parents worked hard to pay those astronomical fees, he has no clue on how ordinary folk work their socks off (often in more than one job which they hate) and yet cannot afford to put a healthy meal on the table.

I was priveldged to go to a state school and my parents worked hard and that enabled me to go on 2 school trips abroad. yes I do feel priveldged by this, I also had a mum who was a brilliant cook. Presumably poor spoilt Rishi thinks that a family today which choses to have sky to compensate for the lack of membership to clubs and activities , and OMG they have a large flat screen – basically the C has not got a fucking clue!

So the far right made progress – on D-Day so why? Firstly maybe the left and centre need to stop flinging racism around so much? Is it racist to prefer or want to be surrounded by people with similar beliefs and culture? There was an attempt a while back to establish what constituted British Culture – I believe it failed miserably! However if we look at how the English language has attapted and incorporated new ideas and words without losing the essence of what constitutes English and we can get a notion of what society should be doing to adapt and include?

I think it is natural for people to be unsettled by change and to hark back to “old ways”. It would therefore be natural for people across the varied nations of Europe to reject traditional parties that are seen to be over welcoming to “foreigners’ or migrants. This will be especially true of countries with an ageing population like Hungary or where the opportunities for the young are perceived as being diminished or the numbers of migrants are perceived as being too high (Germany?) or where there is less integration (France?) or where there is economic/political atrophy (Eastern Europe).

So whilst I relish calling Farage a fascist little prat, but maybe I should be more wary of the ways he taps into peoples subconscious fears of change and particularly the unknown! I suspect therefore that people are not voting for fascism, but voting against the status quo – Brexit was the prime example of this! The Daily Mails ranting about the National Trust and references to slavery, and generally wokeness, are an attempt to heighten this fear of the different.

It is ironic that the typical thick working class boss will complain about foreigners coming over here to take “his/her” jobs (which they refuse to do! The NHS has a vast number of migrants and could not function without them, and yet the right wing media perpetuate the myths of migrants taking jobs and filling hospitals with patients and schools with students whilst claiming benefits. Can honesty be returned to the press and to politicians (Johnson totally ruined belief in honesty in public service – how do the newest politians recover this lost respect)?

So I have sort of described the problem (and the far right is a problem with no doubt) – obvs. I have no magic solution, but would return to my analagy of the English Language. Migration needs to be at levels where people can be assimilated into the traditional society without necessarily converting to whatever, but accepting, and being accepted by the status quo..

Perhaps the lessons from history in the past need to be learned anew – allowing areas of cities to develop as migrant ghettos (rather than hubs) has led in the past to pograms across Europe. Greater integration with the emphasis on positives (perhaps the right wing press needs to have to justify claims in court?) – or maybe defunded by foreign magnates? Honesty and discussion is essential and if that means calling out the likes of Murdoch and Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere and Sir Paul Marshall; and holding them to account. A free press is essential and is the 5th estate on which democracy is based – but it, like the others can be subverted!
