So Farage is banging on about lawless Britain – this appeals to the weak and poor, who need someone to blame for their plight. He claims that 1 in 3 people in London have been victims of phone theft – that equates to abot 3 million people – the Met Police put the figure at 80000 phone thefts last year. Obviously this is too high, but also if people did not walk around with their phones in hand the rate would be much lower; and people would be happier! He also claims that Britain is broken – Brits love a sob story and negativity. That is why the tabloid and trash papers are full of cheating and divorce, marital breakups and family squabbles (e.g. Beckhams). Personally I do not care whether someone who I have never met finds their life in disarray. Maybe I am fortunate in living is a remarkably safe area.
So Farage will get more prisons built and have a 3 strikes and life imprisonment policy. He ignores the fact that imprisonment actually increases crime – reoffending rates are about 80%. Reducing poverty would be better and have community service fully established for petty crime. The need for punishment is strong with bullies and the ignorant. Prison should be saved for those who need society to be protected from them.
I hate the fucking ignorant bastaard. And all who vote for the wanker. Using false statistics to keep his hate agenda running is absolutely obnoxious. Labour should counter his sick beliefs with the truth and a positive spin. SHIT – I just had a thought that most people in the UK want to be fucking miserable; spend their life moaning; and not just about the weather (On which I would say we have the most perfect weather in the world. Extremes of temperature or precipitation are rare (despite the shite papers reporting like everyday is a nightmare! Basically we live in Goldilocks land – and people hate the concept of not being able to moan.
So could the British population concentrate on giving shit, where shit is due. Israel and Gaza and West Bank, Putin and Ukraine, even Sudan; NHS (definitely needs sorting after 12 years of calamity), migration which needs honest comments, water supply which needs nationalisation, the care home problem, climate change which also needs honesty. There that is enough to keep anyone miserable without resorting to lies.
On the positives – weather, NHS, migration, – basically Britain is a wonderful place to live despite some rich twat trying to talk it down! If he does not like it he should fuck off and live somewhere else – oh he has!
