The State of Politics in the UK at the minute. Labour Conference

What a mess! With the end of the Labour conference you have to ask yourself what on earth? 

Seriously if that is their best then they are not fit to be anywhere near power.

We have heard that they want to have a General election. Of course they do as they think, note word think, that they will walk in. They say that the UK is ready for socialism. Really Looking up the meaning of the word it says in the Oxford Dictionary, “the set of beliefs that states that all people are equal and should share equally in the Country’s money.

The first part all people are equal I wouldn’t think anyone would go against that as we all enter the world the same and we all exit the same. The second part is a bit subject in the sense that we all share equally in the country’s money. If we are talking about the “Country’s money” again I don’t think there would be too much disagree with because why should someone get more of the Country’s money than someone else?

However, Labour don’t seem to understand that the peoples money is their money. They are coming out with some ridiculous statement like we are going to get the rich people’s money. For the record what is the threshold they class poor and rich? Answer not telling you.

They also want companies to give their employees free shares in the company. If someone wanted to set up a company and risk THEIR money then why do they have to share the rewards? People get paid (their reward) for their work. This crazy idea would force some companies not to employ staff but they will hire contractors rather than employees. This would take some benefits and jobs away.

Labour have said they want to take it back into public ownership and again given the travelling public probably most would say OK as it is clearly not working. But Labour don’t say how they would pay for it and even if they took it back at the end of the franchise contracts end fine but for me the big question is – if they take it back into the public ownership how would they do it differently to make it work? What would they do that is not being done now? It is easy to say it’s not working let’s have it back but if they take it back but don’t change anything then what’s the point?

They also say they can negotiate a better deal on Brexit. Well again what is your plan? They say that they want a General Election and if they don’t get one then they will back a second vote but they won’t say if they did get a General Election and won would they offer a second vote? Silence. That for me would indicate opportunism. They say if they don’t get a General Election they should be a general strike. I guess they won’t be meeting a costa coffee for a chat then or down the pub for a pint? Back to the Winter of discontent then in the 70’s.

They say they would scrap Council tax and bring in rates. Northern Ireland use the old rates system and if you bring them in then the average tax would go up by over £400.

One of the most stupid things I heard was from a so called teacher who said that kids should be educated better and that way they wouldn’t vote Tory. Stupid! Why not teach kids to have their own minds and see the pros and cons and let them make their own minds up? Also this stupid so call teacher say there are no evil kids – well as the conference was in Liverpool I don’t think you would find anyone that wouldn’t say Venables and Thompson who killed James Bulger were evil kids.

On education Labour want to get rid of free schools and School academy’s as they say the owners are getting rich on them. Well let’s look at Standish High. Labour say as that is now a multi academy trust the owners are getting rich of this. Guess who these rich people are? Labour members like Adrian Hardy who was, and may still be, a high ranking official of the Labour Party in Wigan. Just proves that Labour are hypocrites as well.

The truth is Labour don’t want socialism but communism which means that the country owns everything, and you get just what you need back. For this kind of set up look at Venezuela and how that is bankrupt.       

Labour have only delivered hot air and given nothing meaningful and how they would do it differently. Can’t be trusted then!
