Not since Samson introduced down the temple has there been such a catastrophe as this week’s British election. In American phrases it was an ideal case of ‘throw the bums out.’
Good present. Wholesome democracies must be purged and renovated. Britain’s Tories (Conservatives) have been in energy for 14 lengthy years. Far too lengthy. They lurched from scandal to incompetency to sheer buffoonery.
I’ve at all times been a passionate Anglophone. I nearly went to Cambridge and King’s Faculty London. The nicest factor my father ever did was to take me to go to majestic Warrick Fortress. I love the British for being excellent troopers, valiant mariners and sensible talkers. In spite of everything, they command what has turn out to be the world’s language. However they don’t seem to be at all times nice political leaders.
Ousted prime minister Rishi Sunak was a good fellow with nice household wealth. However he was no politician. In an unbelievable gaff, he turned his again on D-Day veterans on the Normandy Celebrations, which have turn out to be a semi-religious occasion to the western nations. He ought to have invited Vladimir Putin because it was Russia/the Soviet Union that basically received World Conflict II.
Then there was the transcendentally silly plan to ship third world migrants from Britain again to – of all locations – Rwanda! Who thought up this hare-brained scheme? Monty Python or Benny Hill? Or the lugubrious conservative Reese-Mogg.
Why on earth did the Conservatives appoint a major minister of Indian background, after which a confused Chancellor of the Exchequer from Africa? They should have recognized that many Brits are cautious of foreigners. We noticed this in Britain’s silly, disastrous exit from EU membership. The chief proponent of this silly gambit was Nigel Farage who received a parliamentary seat.
Britons have had sufficient Third Worlders. They’re uninterested in making an attempt to impress struggle with Russia. At the very least Farage bought it proper when he had the braveness to say that that the US and NATO pressured Russia into the Ukraine Conflict.
Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour celebration is not the previous onerous left celebration. His celebration is a set of trendy-lefties and petit bourgeois voters. They weren’t graduates of Oxford or Cambridge, however sensible sufficient to see that the Tories have been confused and inept. The tidal wave of Labour votes throughout central and northern Britain may set a leftward pattern for a few years to return.
Starmer is not going to should battle with the mighty Rothschilds to see who will actually run the Conservative Celebration. The Rothschilds managed to purge Labour of its ardent left-wingers, led by Jeremy Corbin, by mounting a loud marketing campaign alleging the celebration was packed by anti-Semites.
In actuality, many onerous leftists have been crucial of Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians, not anti-Semites. However within the UK, with its narrow-minded press, criticism of Israel’s human rights violations is at all times countered by bogus claims that the critics are anti-Semites. Press baron Rupert Murdoch led the assaults on Labor’s left and supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
I’m positive Starmer will do a greater job than the bumbling Sunak. We have now not seen a very sturdy Labour chief because the odious however intelligent Tony Blair, a creature of the Murdoch press empire.
At this time’s Brits have misplaced their warlike panache. However it should return. Over my mattress hangs the magnificent ‘Scotland perpetually – Cost of the Scots Gray’s’ at Waterloo., by Girl Jane Butler. I nonetheless thrill on the reminiscence of the storming of the Alma, Rorke’s Drift, the Skinny Purple Line at Balaclava (which I’ve reverently visited,), Sir Richard Grenville’s ‘Revenge’ taking over many of the Spanish Fleet. That is the true Briton, not the latest bunch of clowns at Westminster. Sir Keir, make England proud once more!
