Be careful what you wish for

British politics is in total disarray. It’s a feeding frenzy as journalists and public alike, suck up the dirty details of the petty and not so petty expense claims by our MPs. Some of it is quite entertaining.  I myself have been giggling at the sheer effrontery of these people. Most of us know that, put into the same position, we would probably do the same, if not to the extent that some of them have. However, it might be worth while looking a little deeper. The politicians certainly are a greedy bunch of buggers, that’s for sure, but who exactly are the faceless people who created the claims system? Who are the ones who encouraged MPs to grab it while they could?

Think about it. The public are baying for blood. Many are demanding that Parliament be dissolved and that we start again from scratch. This is not such a far off possibility, especially as Scotland Yard are now involved and also that some of the claims include Council Tax fraud – very likely criminal offences. Soooo…. if Parliament was dissolved and a new system had to be put into place, where d’you think that system will originate?

I am no policital pundit. Most of the time I don’t have a clue, only being interested, like most, in issues that affect me and my family personally. But it has become obvious to me that there are people who would do very well out of this mess.

Britain has already signed away most of its sovereignty to the EU; EU law can override British law in many arenas – not all, I know. So how are we all going to enjoy being governed from Brussels?  How will we like it when the UK is absorbed into one of the five (I think it is five) World Unions… soon to become ONE? Where nationality is unimportant. Where self-rule is not tolerated. Where a very few can dictate the lives of billions. Where individuality is about who is able to rise to the top of the stinking pile first, rather than about pushing the boundaries of thought, art, expression, etcetera.

I heard yesterday that Sweden is going to attempt to outlaw home-education. England is about to have its eclectic home-education community pulled into line with the bland, conforming majority. If we don’t start kicking up a fuss, wherever we come from, then we can all be prepared to be assimimilated. Comply or die.

Common Purpose, anyone? Google it.
