Libya And Its People Were The Unlucky Victims Of Cameron’s Childish Vanity

The Unlucky Victims Of Cameron’s Childish Vanity.
Whose fault is it that so many of our fellow creatures have drowned in the Mediterranean on the way to Britain?
Whose fault will it be when many more do so, crying out for help that will not come, in the future?
One thing is quite certain.
Completely avoidable actions have made this crisis much worse.

The worst action of all was the unforgivable stupid decision by David Cameron and others to over-throw Colonel Gaddafi’s state in Libya.
I am still amazed that this blunder did not destroy Mr Cameron, as it should have done.
Like all shallow modern politicians, he wanted a cheap and victorious war to make him seem more important than he is.

Libya and its people were the unlucky victims of his childish vanity.
Not only did this bird-brained action turn Libya into a hideous, bloody chaos without hope, it removed the single most important barrier between Europe and the Third World.

Without Gaddafi’s stringent control of his coastline, the economic refugees of the whole of Africa and much of the Middle East (many of them fleeing wars and conflicts begun or encouraged by us) can clamber into coffin ships and set out across the Mediterranean.
Liberal vanity kills and goes on killing.
And it is all the worse because the culprits continue to have such high opinions of themselves.

The problem with Tories is that eventually they run out of public assets to sell off.

David Cameron has had to hand back £28,000 which was donated to the Tories’ election fund by a company linked to the Russian banker Andrei Borodin.
The Electoral Commission that keeps tabs on party donors is rightly worried about Borodin.
He was granted asylum by Cameron’s Government having fled Russia after being investigated for a £220million tax fraud.
It’s a bit rich for the Tories to complain that British trade unions fund the Labour Party when more and more of their money is coming from dodgy foreigners on the run.

Paradise is not a place.
It is a state of consciousness.

Police Are No Longer Interested In Lost Property.
The front counter of the local police station has always been the first port of call for an honest citizen who finds somebody else’s property dropped in the street.
But now police across the country are refusing to handle lost items, telling members of the public they must track down the rightful owners themselves.
Some forces even tell people to put up signs in shops with details of the found items, and to throw away unidentified keys, because they no longer have the time or staff to deal with the paperwork.
Until recently, front-counter staff would take in anything found in the street and log the details.

We, the people, are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

The world is full of idiots, and someone needs to point it out to them or they will never know.

What Is It About Theresa May?
She is walking proof that nothing succeeds like failure.
She is herself a militant, politically correct liberal, oddly reluctant to admit she went to a grammar school.
Crime is out of control, inefficiently concealed by fiddled figures.
Immigration is out of control, a fact that can’t be concealed.
She can’t even organise a public inquiry.
Yet her media sycophants portray her as a steely guardian of the State, and a potential premier.
I ask you.

We, the American people, are not each other’s enemies.
The enemies are those people behind the curtain jerking everybody’s chains and trying to divide us up by age, by race, by income.
( Ben Carson )

The government was set to protect man from criminals.
And the Constitution was written to protect man from the government.

Sex Offenders Among The Far Right.
The far right often accuse their opponents of ‘supporting’ sex offenders and constantly point out those guilty of such crimes, especially when they are ‘muslamics.’
This list, long and depressing though it is, exposes sex offenders among the far right and sadly continues to grow.
It also indicates that perhaps the far right should expose those in their own ranks.
Cases of violence against women and children by members of the far right are also documented.

If governments are involved in covering up the knowledge of aliens, then they are doing a much better job of it than they seem to do at anything else.

Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.

People Forget.
Gordon Brown is the best Labour Prime Minister we never gave a chance.
Against opposition not just from the Tories but from seditious Blairites, Big Gordie put in place the national minimum wage, tax credits for the working poor, ditto for pensioners and made massive investment in schools and the NHS.
He brought our boys home from Iraq.

People forget that it was Gordon Brown who saved the country from a complete collapse of the banking system.
The economy was on an upswing when he left office.
The NHS was in better shape.
Lying Tories have the cheek to call it ‘Brown’s recession’ when it was actually caused by the reckless, profit-crazed, corrupt City types who bankroll the Conservative Party.
