Mr Broon takes a kicking

Just to round off the latest batch of posts, I feel that I should report that Gordon Brown, the (much loved, hah ha ha ) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, took another beating in the polls last week, when for the first time in twenty five years the Conservative Party won a parliamentary by-election.

This feat was all the remarkable in that the seat they won, Crewe and Nantwich, had been a loyal Labour seat for decades. The swing was over 18% to the Conservatives, and if replicated in a national election, would effectively wipe the Labour Party out in England, and risk its position as a major national party.

Now of course that sort of swing would not occur in a general election, but even a swing of 9 - 10% would see labour out of power.

Judging from the man in the public house, Labour are "toast" whatever they do, but for the record the main issues which have alienated them from their 'natural supporters' are

• Mass Immigration, the subject that cannot speak its name. Rightly or wrongly Labour is seen as encouraging non european and muslim immigration to boost its votes, and making the 'natural Englishman' pay for housing and welfare benefits for a peoples who are then attacking us.
• The Economy, where labour has lost its prudence and competence tag. It's now seen as just a tax and spend party again, as it was in the 1970's when they squeezed the (rich) tax payers 'until the pips squeaked'. Well the 'pips' of even the working poor are 'squeaking', and petrol prices (most of which are tax) are now hurting people who vote. Only those on welfare (who often don't vote) are seen to be thriving.
• Law and Order, belief in which has simply collapsed, with courts and lawyers seen as acting only to ensure that the guilty are either set free or given laughable sentences. Legal aid is now so abused that its not seen as being good for the poor anymore.
• PC Issues, are seen as being the promotion of minority interests over the wishes and belief values of the 'silent majority' - this ranges from real anger when councils stop Xmas 'nativity plays' but support Muslim values. Change nursery rymes such as the "three little pigs" or even place the 'Koran' in a 'place of honour' (It must never rest beneath other books, but always on top of them) whilst treating bibles as just another book. All these news stories (whether true or not) just add fuel to the belief that the PC brigade are trying to destroy the countries values and traditions in favour of 'Sharia' or minority sexual interest groups.
• Multiculturalism, is simply seen as the 'theological arm' of the self elected PC brigade. Devised to attack western values and promote 'multicultural' i.e. Non European values as 'equal' in validity to our own. This is seen as being basically a betrayal of the English who seem to bear the brunt of the 'compromises' that have to be made.
• Broken Promises, the promise of a referendum on the European Treaty was broken, and that was the point when Brown personally was seen as a liar. He was also seen as arrogant in his belief that he could 'lie' to the voters and get away with it.

Just a few pointers as to where the Labour party could rescue itself but won't. Its too tied to special (i.e. minority) interests, and will not do what the majority want.
So to misquote another scotsman "Your all doomed, doomed I tell ya!"
