Miliband's ambitions unmasked as Labour gets Crewed

David Miliband could not hide his glee as an audience member on Question Time suggested that Labour may be rescued if he were to take over from Gordon Brown.
why anyone would think that this pale,robotic product of the new labour machine
could benefit the Left or the Labour party is beyond me.the polls have consistently shown that it has been Brown's mismanagement as PM and not Tory strategy that has caused the change in Tory fortunes.it seems that all the qualities that made Gordon
a good chancellor have conspired against him as Prime Minister.Take the 42 day detention for example.Brown would have used classic Game Theory to adopt his position.He thought he had created a win/win scenario for himself in which whatever way the vote went he would have personally looked tough on crime.Factor in the political element with the disastrous loss in Crewe and Nantwich and we are left with a sorry looking politician desperately looking for a win to reassert his authority.it's sad that in this process,the fundamental goalposts of liberty are having to be moved to score an own goal.Having got himself into a mess Brown has
reverted to his now all too familiar prevarication mode.Cruel irony then, that his latest attempt to deflect attention by focusing on knife crime should come at a time when the knives are out for him.

Four Legs Good Two Legs Bad....

This was the first rule of the revolutionaries that kicked out the tory farmer suppressing the workers in Orwell's Animal Farm.As in the political allegory for all socialist revolutionary movements the more clever workers soon became the oppressors
of the the working class.They soon begin to change their original ideals to benefit themselves;the new elite.You don't have to be a political theorist to see how this applies to the New Labour movement, with the Daily Mail courting Gordon Brown,actually trying to pass a budget that literally took from the poor and redistributed wealth to the rich.Somewhere down the line The fundamental Labour principle of protecting the most needy and vulnerable in our society has been forgotten.this took a macabre twist in the rushing through of the human embryo and fertilisation bill.Despite the demand from many MP's for more time to think about the implications of the human-animal hybrid embryos-this was denied.the most vulnerable in our society,the unborn,will continue to be allowed to be murdered-legally.The Conservative MP who tabled the motion for the reduction of time in the upper limit for abortions rightfully asserted that the womb is the most dangerous place in Britain for a child to be.The motion to not insist that the father is placed
on the birth certificate is nothing short of institutional bastardization of a nation.thankyou Gordon Brown,no doubt the working people of Crewe and Nantwich will let their feelings be known in today's by-election.

Brown terminates his Christian Vote

There is 3D evidence that babies feel pain and gruesome stories from medics of what it is actually like to pull a 24 week baby out of a mother's womb and kill it – and yet still Gordon Brown, refused to support a reduction in the age limit of abortions and now gloats over the failure of the amendment to bring the limit down. Why? Because he is a 1970's socialist and the absolute mantra for a committed left-winger on the issue of abortion in that supposedly radical but sad decade was that a woman had an absolute right over what happened to their own bodies,as well as the other individual within their womb. So whatever evidence comes in front of Gordon Brown and his secular colleagues, they cannot bring themselves to demolish an icon that inspired them in the days of their youth.
The sad irony of all this is that while Gordon Brown's first specialist subject was History, he can not see the larger historical forces working on him. He is simply being swept along by all the half baked ideals that filled smoked filled Junior Common Rooms in the Seventies. Those ideals dreamed of creating a fairer world, but just as the early Christian Socialism of Keir Hardie later got enmeshed with atheistic Marxism, so too the idealism of the left in the Sixties married itself heart and soul to a strident anti establishment secularism that had no room for Christianity. This was because Christianity, as caricatured in simplistic films like 'If', was perceived to be part and parcel of a hypocritical establishment that according to the wise young men of the universities had brought about the havoc of two world wars and the seemingly appalling gap between rich and poor. Capitalism and religion belonged together, so in the new utopia planned by Gordon Brown and his fellow socialists, religion would have to take a back seat. A part of the perceived oppressiveness of Christianity was against women. It was a paternalistic faith, wanting to keep the woman at home and inferior to men. And so chorused along by the hedonistic voices of the time. the right for a woman to an abortion became a part of the creed for all those who wanted to remove this terrible Christian establishment.
Very conveniently for these young men their campaign against oppressive Christianity meant they could also attack Christian teaching on sex. The left-winger was very concerned by the poor – and would patronisingly pat the church on the back for its record of aid – but he had no time at all for the church's teaching that casual sex was wrong. Back in history honest sinners have enjoyed sex without commitment, but have known it wasn't very honourable. But now it was all a part of tearing up the establishment that had caused such apparent oppression. To be sexually prolificand uncommital was to be 'liberal'. And if the lust led to unwanted pregnancies – well it was for the woman to decide, for the foetus belongs to her.
The tragedy in all this is that the post-war reaction against the Christian establishment, though understandable, was completely unjustified. Sure there was hypocrisy, but by and large, it was Christianity that had sustained Britain against the Nazis – indeed Churchill had said it was a matter of fighting for 'Christian civilisation'. And yet Gordon Brown's generation was unable to see that in reality the youth movement of the 1960's was essentially shallow and a part of a natural historical reaction to the war years and instead dressed it all up in pseudo philosophising that has unleashed an unprecedented attack on Christian values.
Gordon Brown was very much a part of all this – both at a public and personal level. Publicly he has never condemned the darker aspects of the Freudian pleasure seeking principle of his generation, nor spoken out for Christian family values in the market place. Instead he has simply parroted the mantras of his age which support mindless sex and tragically killing living babies. Privately he is not the son of the Manse he likes to claim he is. Unlike Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair who were both privately practising Christians, Gordon Brown is by design spiritually ambiguous.
Gordon Brown can perhaps be proud of his economic socialism. He has shifted a certain amount of wealth from the rich to the government and some of that has reached the poor. But there is nothing for him to be proud about tonight as he goes to contemplate his victory over those who wanted to bring the age limit of abortion down. Instead he has shown himself to have never matured from the student mantras that demanded in the name of liberal socialism that men have sex, women have abortions, and babies die. T.Hawksley

Don't Look Now,Gordon Brown Induces Labour's Next Crisis

After having done a U-turn on the 10p debacle it seems Gordon Brown may be moving into another storm of his own making.having watched the lengthy and informed debate
on the human embryo and fertilisation bill in the house of commons two things became
very apparent.firstly parliamentarians are at their best when they are not forced to slavishly tow the party line as is usually the case on matters of conscience. secondly most speakers agreed that the bill needed much more time.after all,there are four seperate items that have to be voted on.Hybrid embryos(mixing human and animal genetic material),saviour siblings(allowing couples to choose embryos that may best develop to help a sick elder sibling)The right to omit the genetic father's name from the birth certificate (in cases where there is a sperm donor)and finally dropping the legal abortion cut off date from the current 24 weeks to 21 weeks.controversially Gordon Brown has allowed a free vote on 3 out 4 of these measures.the exception being the reduction of 24 week late abortion threshhold.You can see from graphic photos on this website that at 24 weeks the child is not a 'clump of cells' but a near fully formed baby.It should be noted that the oppositon benches have allowed a free vote on all sections of the bill.Given that there have been babies who have survived at 21 weeks from a moral perspective this is nothing short of infanticide.It also continues the ridiculous scenario where doctors in one part of a hospital may be trying to save a baby of the same age as one being aborted in another part of the same hospital.Morally this is reprehensible but politically it shows one of Gordon Brown's fundamental flaws.namely his natural knack to isolate pockets of the electorate with the very ease with which his predecessor used to win them over.

World Food Riots....oh and Boris wins London!

When commodities are so scarce Labour can't afford to have egg on it's face.
Brown must shoulder some of the blame for labour's mauling in the local elections.what started as a cheap jibe by the opposition about his dithering
has become a political reality.this reality was magnified by his disastrous
trip to america where he publicly declared that the world owes George Bush
a great debt.A quite phenomenal U-turn on his original frostiness towards
a man who has plunged his country and the planet into great turmoil.a billion of the worlds poorest people live on less than a dollar a day.they typically spend 70%
of that dollar on food;so a doubling of food prices means starvation for the worlds's very poorest,hence the unrest.So a more accurate account of events would say that the world has been thrown further into indebtedness as a result of Bush's policies.On the domestic front people are also beginning to feel the pinch as the cost of living has spiralled out of control.naturally this has been taken out on the goverment at a time when they have so lost their moral compass that they are taking money out of the pockets of the poor in this country to subsidise headline grabbing tax cuts.Brown says he will listen but you can tell by his demeanour that he'd rather not.And it is this demeanour ,what with the faked smiles and mistimed over-politicking that has cost Labour dear.Gordon Brown's failure to grasp the nettle on matters such as world poverty despite all his grandstanding on the issue has eaten into what was perceived as his core strength;substance.the world bank recently announced that the fight against poverty has been set back by as much as seven years.
That's probably an understatement and given that Brown has been trying to the tackle this matter for over ten years it has left him looking very incompetent.coupled with a poor PR team that has failed to reign in in his obsession with courting the right at the expense of his core base the UK could be heading for further misery in the shape of a Tory Government.The only silver lining for Labour is that they may be outdone in the sphere of incompetence by Boris Johnson ,the only manifestation
of Tory power since the conservatives were thrown out in 1997.

From Conviction Politics To Convicting politicians!

It seems the culture of greed is so endemic amongst MPs on all sides of the house that they will do anything to stop the details of their expense accounts coming out.
Tonight, after a tribunal had agreed that the expense accounts of some of the more prominent MPs should be made public,they are further using taxpayers money to appeal the decision.Even the congenial speaker of the house has been caught up in this scandal.Any dissenting voices have been roundly booed.the mighty insult that is added to an already injured electorate is that we are talking about details of out-of-pocket expenses for their SECOND homes.There must be an ex-machina system whereby
MPs don't get to vote on their own salaries and don't get to decide their own punishments when rules have been broken.the police and courts must get involved to dole out fitting punishment for those who have grossly misused taxpayers money.the citizen's
equivalent of this crime is fiddling our taxes and i can't imagine that the Inland revenue would let any one of us get away with mild censure.

Being Brown...A Video Diary

Brown forgets about Poverty

Campaigners have expressed disappointment at the UK government's
decision last week not to withhold any World Bank funding over the
harmful conditions attached to debt relief. Despite the best efforts
of over 10,000 campaigners, Norway was the only country to withhold
any funds in protest at the World Bank's continuing practice of
forcing economic policies on poor countries. The UK had promised a
tough stance, but paid up in full.

'friends of Israel' conceal payments to Labour

First it was Lord Levy(of cash for honours fame),who acted as Tony Blair's middle east envoy which in turn
led to a disastrous mid-east policy now it seems that David Abrahams has taken on the same mantle to Gordon Brown.The bottom line is the same;jewish money controlling Uk foreign policy decisions.It was unconvincing at best when Gordon brown claimed that he knew nothing of the money given by bernie eccleston for the Tobacco Lobby.
It's even less convincing now when he claims that he knew nothing of Abraham's proxy
payments of over £600,000.Businessmen don't give money away for free.Abraham's reported claims that he knows people in Hamas and his active involvement with the jewish lobby in the Uk makes his payments all the more sinister.The true source of all payments to Political parties need to made transparent if the Uk is not to follow
the american political system which is crippled by the power of the Israel lobby
when it comes to making unfettered decisions vis a vis the peace process and foreign policy.

Sorry Darling!

The scale of the security breach that has left 25 million persons
personal data available to id thieves is frankly inexcusable.the government say
that there is no evidence of theft yet,but the very fact the her majesty's
revenue and customs sees it fit to use a courier to transfer such sensitive material
means the consequence for future trust and such schemes as ID cards is negative.
its difficult to see how any of us can feel completely safe without changing
our details.why did junior officials have access to download such details that have left nearly ALL of us exposed to having our identities stolen.For now the government have urged all of us to be on the lookout for irregular banking patterns and a very valuable disk!the government really should be on the lookout for a new chancellor.

Plate Sin In Gold And The Strong Lance Of Justice Hurtless Breaks,Arm it in rags,a Pigmy's straw doth pierce it

So said Shakespeare in King Lear.No line more aptly states the state of play when it comes to justice in the UK.there is clearly one rule for the rich and one for the poor.there was much pontification over rolling out the red carpet for the Saudi monarch but in truth he could have ordered a red carpet with blue stars if he had wanted.
there was something of an arrogant assumption that it was the UK government that had dictated the terms of the visit.Saudi Arabia managed to stop the wheels of British justice over the BAE/AL Yamamah investigation with the promise of another $20 billion
jet purchase.The hypocrisy lies in the fact that Gordon Brown is playing Tony Blair to US's new aggressive stance on Iran with the same expediant selectivity.No one has been prosecuted over British involvement in the construction of Israel's illegal Nuclear weapon program even though the damning evidence has become available under the freedom of information act.
This same sort of corruption has permeated our daily judicial judgements.Cash for Honours -Forget it-Ant and Dec's £8 million daylight robbery phone scam-Not even considered for prosecution.Taxed daily with illegal bank charges which none of us have the individual will or resources to question.Makes you Think!What were to happen
if a pensioner failed to make a heating Bill...I don't think he or she would be as lucky as the government's richer clients.
Gordon Brown pictured himself as the heir to John Smith so far he has failed on so many counts.Getting increasingly involved with trying to out tory David Cameron
He's let down the Labour Party and the population at large.We have become tired of and sensitive to PR and Spin but Gordon Brown has become increasingly reliant on it.
For example he constantly alludes to his Presbytarian upbring but has never made a
public declaration of his Christian faith.He's talked so much on alleviating third world debt but has continually failed to deliver.Our troops are not quite out yet not 'quite in' when it comes to Iraq.He cancelled the Super Casino but has allowed a casino via tv and internet to be placed in virtually every home in the country.the list goes on...
Ironically, for the former Iron Chancellor he needs to move away from the weak alloy of Tory/Labour policy and return to the 'aspiration' of Conviction politics.

Gordon Brown in abortion scandal

if this image was on the front page of 'The Sun'you can bet your bottom dollar that
Gordon Brown would have agreed to put forward legislation reducing the 24 week time limit on abortions.As for conviction politics well that myth has been finally put to
rest by the ridiculous state of affairs whereby in one room in a hospital now doctors can be tryining to save a child's life while in another they may be terminating the life of a child at of exactly the same age.we saw earlier this year the survival of a child at 21 weeks.even david steel who was the sponsor of the original
abortion bill has said that the scandalous 200,000 abortions a year in the uk means that people are using abortions as a means of contraception.surely in an age where the 4d ultrasound speaks on behalf of the voiceless child in the womb this is a crime without parallel.check out some of the video images of the baby in the womb to the right tomake up your own mind about this issue.

Gordon Brown rejects autumn poll

Gordon Brown Has recipe to remain PM and decides to bottle it.Anyone who has analysed Brown's politics over the last twenty years could have guessed that he will
always air on the side of caution.what filtered through all the hype and spin though is that Brown is no just intent on beating the Tories he is not satisfied unless he utterly crushes them.a point missed by the mainstream media is that a cameron defeat this year may not have signalled the end of him as a tory leader but a brown victory 2 years down the line will.this may be welcome for labour as cameron shows himself to be
better than his predecessors in confronting an economically successful government.

Brown says much without saying anything at all

a masterclass in mood manipulation led to a rousing response to
Gordon Brown's speech at conference.He didn't make any significant
announcements.he did not address the major questions of the day,
eg.pending elections,the war between iran and israel,northern rock etc.
however it seems that by parking his frame in the tory parking space he has out manouevered cameron again.the meeting with thatcher was genius political
positioning.By associating the iron chancellor with the iron lady he
has hung out cameron to dry on his main weakness;substance.Hence the emphasis
on conviction politics leaving Cameron exposed.As the Tories search to become
the old new labour Brown succeeded in establishing the allure of the new old labour
to tories,lefties and everything in between.The Sun's murdoch agenda driven headline 'not his finest hour' will look disingenious.the truth is this is a
good time for Gordon Brown.His problem right now is whether he has positioned himself too well too quickly.perhaps even tempting himself into an election call which would go against every fibre of his prudence first political instinct
