New Labour: New Danger
The failings of the Government eh? As a famous man once said: “People of the same trade seldom meet together, for the conversation often turns
to a conspiracy against the public.”
Suddenly everyone’s interested in politics again, it’s astounding. It most probably has something to do with Tony Blair’s New Labour legacy. Say what you will about that man, but he’s certainly proved himself to be the one of the shrewdest politicians in world
history. He bails out at boom time and leaves his “old mate”, Mr. Unelected himself, Gordon Brown, to wallow in what he obviously believed,
was uncredited glory. And in doing so he moves himself from the ‘Iron Chancellor’ and one of the best we’ve had, to probably the worst.
So is the mess we find ourselves in in Britain, New Labour’s fault? Too right it is. Unemployment is certainly as a result of their
open-all-hours door policy and the cushty benefits system. The ironic thing
being is that many of us who worked hard to preserve such a system in boom
time, now can’t get much help from it! Not to mention their slow, but deadly effect on
society, in which we now find ourselves surrounded by petty fines, reduced
liberties and more red tape.
So it should come as no surprise that our “representatives in Parliament” (we’re not allowed in, see) are building themselves lives more comfortable than a
Craft-Magic Adjustable Bed. Let’s be fair, if you could get away with claiming two mortgages on expenses, the
finest trouser press money could buy and regular maintenance for your castle’s moat - you would! And in one of the most spectacular ticking time-bomb
political blunders ever seen, Labour’s own ‘Freedom of Information Act’ could well be the fire door that bashes them on their way out of power. Bet
they wish they’d never made everything public now eh?
But back to my point, what exactly can you do? They don’t have to all resign, in fact ol’ GB hasn’t even got to call an election for a year. This isn’t exactly 18th century France, I don’t see the peasants rising up to storm the Bastille or a New Model Army
descending on Parliament. Revolutions, we are taught, are the stuff of old-age
anarchy and are not possible in such civilized modern times. What can you do? CM
