The ever self aggandizing Dr Owen on r4's The Reunion prog was reminiscing yet again about the Sdp's 15 minutes of infamy back in the 80's with the usual blinkered conceit of the deluded.
He may not have understood why the whole thing was such a damp squib and truly believed he and his party was some sort of radical departure from political business as usual but it just doesn't stand up to any analysis whatsover and the British public saw through it pretty quickly.
He would not join the Liberals - why - because they were not wing enough and the further clue as to why the whole thing was a vanity project of thwarted egos re the clear statists Messrs Owen, Shirley Williams and Jenkins was the narcissism of small differences between them and the hard leftists who at by this time taken over the Labour Party. Owen may look like a tory but he was a man of the left and still is to this day. He just opposed Labour tactics believing, quite correctly, that it would keep them out of power for a generation but principally there was never enough difference between Sdp Labour and liberals for anyone to tell them apart or to get out of bed to vote for them and they merely served the purpose of splitting the left three ways rather than the traditional two with the result that Thatcher stormed to power for a third time in '87.
He likes to blame the first past the post system but this is to confuse process with principle. The same system prevailed pre 1920's but it did not stop the formation of the Labour Party and it's eclipse of the Liberals to become the second most powerful political force in British politics and then to end up in actual government. All excuse making and nothing more.Bad loser!

Venezuela, the BBC and lessons Not drawn
The BBC has been dragged kicking and screaming into covering the tumultuous events in Venezuela and for good reason as it was a socialist flagship and there aren't many of those and it would not touch it with a barge pole - until it absolutely had to and it went into predictable meltdown, the way of all socialist utopias with all the others, onto the dustbin of history.
Now it reports all the drama but analysis is thin on the ground. Experts are wheeled in with their variegated positions but the overwhelming takeaway as the jargon goes is wholly and totally absent namely, this is what socialism leads to without fail. The implications and ramifications here in the UK are too obvious to make yet we must as Corbyn lurks in the shadows ready to pounce or slither into office on the debris of May's defeat re Brexit.
The parallells are obvious but not being made least of all from the BBC who carry a torch for Corbyn and would like nothing more than to see the the ceremonial ousting of the albeit lefty tories (as far as we are concerned) and the potential installment of the most extreme political semi Marxist leader this country has ever seen.
But do the people of Venezuela now get it? By all accounts no. There appears to be no soul searching going on whatsoever as millions head for the border to Columbia for refuge and work, many of the professional middle classes having left the country in the last 8 years as they saw the Marxist writing on the wall. All we have heard from reportage so far is that they are in a state of bewilderment and cannot understand what is happening to their country. Really? They are certainly not going to get any help from the international media judging by the lamentably shallow reporting so far.
Will Corbyn be asked to give an account of himself re Venezuela? Probably not.He certainly won't be pressed by the BBC who are clearly in institutional denial as ever and are going to make sure only a fragmented, non conceptual, non philosophical range of the moment reportage will characterize their coverage of yet another socialist nightmare come to fruition.

When does a State become illegitimate
The preconditions for such a state of affairs are:
1) State control of the press.There are moves afoot with this re the fallout of Leveson and bearing in mind that the internet is the 21st century version of the press the various government crackdowns on 'hate speech', increasing systematic concerted intimations and threats of imminent legislation and government intervention to bring pressure to bear on internet platforms to censor and delete 'offensive content' all point to a chilling effect on fee speech which is inimical and incompatible with the principles of a free country.
2) Overbearing taxation and regulation.This is on a continuum as it is hard to say at what point such invasive and oppressive state encroachment tips over into the totalitarian -on principle if the gov steals just one penny in tax it has crossed the line, the principle has been established that it has a right to do so and the rest is just a matter of time - it's incremental purloining is intended to soften people up like the lobster being slowly boiled -by the time they realize what is happening it is too late and they have conceded their liberty on the installment plan.
The question of when such a state has crossed the line is therefor somewhat academic, a judgement call, but the seeds of totalitarianism are present in all so called liberal democracies, mixed economies with their mixed contradictory premises -be they social democracies,welfare states or whatever extant variants and mongrelized combinations and it would have been better for all nations under such systems to never have gone down those roads of statism in the first place so inexorable and inevitable would be their final place of destination and unless the process is reversed and such institutions are purged of those statist elements authoritarian totalitarianism can be the only outcome.
When the state gets so large, its military so powerful and unassailable from within a revolution of any sort is not practical and would indeed be an act of self destruction leading to inevitable defeat and great loss of civilian life to no purpose whatsoever and of course to consequent outright military dictatorship with the mask of democracy quickly whipped away to reveal the true nature of the beast lurking behind it.
The winning of hearts and minds is therfor the only way forward and that will be a hard slog indeed should anyone even try to undertake it. Vasts sums of money would be required,a massive pardon the expression, re education process undertaken and a protracted period of time stretching into decades and beyond needed to even stand any chance of a success.
Changing a whole culture is a monumental task over a generation or 3 so only someone with rare fortitude vision stamina and organizational skills need apply. Only the groundwork can be laid now and that is being done by ARI and other satellites and the individual efforts of bloggers and youtubers and we take our humble place with that fraternity not making any extravagant claims about being vanguardists, just contributors to the cause - and judging by our lamentable to non existent stats very humble ones at that!
I should point out in conclusion that changing hearts and minds always has to come first before anything else and that would implicitly obviate the use of force and more importantly it must be stressed that force even if successful in overthrowing the existing polity would not lead to anything better, indeed to far worse outcomes because the cultural groundwork would not have been laid and to attempt to impose liberty at the point of a gun is self contradictory on its face and would involve the substitution of tyranny with another every bit as dictatorial.

Turkeys don't vote for Bernard Manning....
And politicians don't vote for small government! More news from the Hello dept! So the very act of voting is an act of endorsement for the Statist Quo.Unless the party in question is.. fill in the dots to spare you the repetition.
Our, my party, will do what it says on the label.It is not in the mindless act of conserving tradition re the conservatives or pretending to be a little bit capitalist -quasi capitalist if you will, no Red Tories here. It will not make socialist speeches al la Treason May on the street of 10 Downing st and enact business crippling taxes and regulations and laws, it will not talk about a partnership between business and state and have ministers for everything under the sun and lay out a red carpet for Corbyn to waltz into no 10.
Nor will it make obscene gestures of conciliation to the anti human - capitalist hating envrionmentalist brigades and pay obesiance to its absurd misanthropic agendas. It won't present itself as the middle way between socialism and capitalism, bowing down to the God of the Mixed Economy, an embodiment of an anti concept and the law of contradiction.It will not insult the intelligence of the British people but instead treat them as adults and lay out before them clearly the imperative for a limited state, setting out clearly its proper functions, its role and purpose and how to stray beyond that into meddling in the stuff of people's personal affairs, choices and decisions is to transgress its function and stray into the realm and down the tortuous road to the authoritarian and totalitarian.
Yes it will with meet howls of protest from all the legion of special interest groups -ie the whole establishment practically and will be rounded on not just by the usual suspects, the Left but the right too who will sense that it poses just as much a threat to them as to the left - which as far as we are concerned - and will make clear, much to their chagrin, it resembles in more ways than it differs.
So winning a popularity contest will not be easy(!) but the very act of making the distinction of clear blue capitalist waters between us and all the rest will be an exercise in enlightenment if we dare to use such a word, or even a raising of political consciousness in the British public so that even if we meet with no success which in our present culture let's be honest is the most likeliest outcome, it will still have served a very useful educational service for future forays by different actors - who knows, into the rotten at the heart polity.

From the Government and here to help.....
Governments obstruct business at every turn and then launch programmes to help business! Laisez faire, Laissez faire, Laissez faire! The two words you will never hear politicians - whatever their stripe utter. Only here at the as yet unofficial Capitalist Party website will hear hear such incendiary, radical revolutionary words. Tear down the barricades! Governments,Tear Down that Wall of protectionsim, tarriffs, tax, regulation!
All Roads lead to Brexit - In BBC Land
The Today prog, radio 4 is the setting in which Justin wets his pants pleading with a tory minister being interrupted - I mean interviewed by him to tell him how Brexit will Ruin Everything, will be the cause of everything going wrong and in which the feeble minded woman pleads back at him repeating his name pathetically 20 in the 'interview: 'but Justin, let me tell you...' but she is talked over yet again by 'Justin' desperate now to have the minister validate his deepest prejudices and he will settle for nothing less. Makes for great listening -very instructive albeit not in the way it should be instructive, in a proper grown up interview. That's the BBC for you when it is riding it's anti Brexit hobby horse which should surely have be sent long ago on a one journey to the knackers yard.
The poor woman was supposed to on the prog to discuss how the gov will be assisting and encouraging businesses to export export export. How about cut taxes and regulation duh?

Death to all Quangos!
That's Capitalist Party policy re Quangos. They are an abomination and there will be a raging inferno of them in which none will be spared. They are the most sneakiest and serpentine of all the ways the state gets to grow itself by a deliberate act of deceiving the public about the very nature of the beast in question, quangos.
We will acknowledge their legitimacy only if there can be produced as evidence in support of them a quasi pregnant woman or a quasi vegan.
Quangos are in direct violation of the law of contradiction -namely, that contradictions do not exist -A is A and when the state seeks to violate such a law it does so for one reason only, to deceive the public and attempt to get away with immoral activity, to enlarge its powers, grow government and curtail the freedom of its citizens still further which it knows it cannot do directly, in plain sight so engages in sleight of hand devious underhand methods, by smoke and mirrors in which category the invention of the quango is in a category and class all of it's own in its darkly ingenious anti concept conception!
Quangos are the last refuge of the scoundrel. What evil genius invented them. It was surely a committe,a group of civil serpents and politicians sitting together in the basement of government ponder on how to create a non accountable body of pooled shared responsibility -ie no responsibility at all that could appear to be separate from the state yet not separate at the same time. The quango is the ultimate light bulb eureka moment in the whole sorry history of statism and government enlargement -governments' Kafka moment come to full fruition.
Out out damned Qaungos -you are about to meet your Waterloo.

Venezuela Collapse -the BBC has just noticed!
Where has the beeb been the past few years re Venezuela and why the erie silence from it about this central American basket case? We know why it's maintained a trappist silence on the matter don't we. Had it been a Right wing basket case the beeb would have been all over it like a rash -it would barely have been off the news agenda for a day.
But it's a left wing one so we better not report on it lest the viewers join the dots and start linking it with our belove Corbyn on who we are pinning all our future hopes of socialist Valhalla.
It did make the news the other week after what seems like a systematic self imposed moratorium for years -don't mention Venezueal, we did it once but we think we got away with it - when poor old Mad uro was subject to an alleged assasination attempt. The it was headline news on the BBC and the coverage was sympathetic to Mad!
Maybe they should atone for their glaring sins of ommission by inviting Corbyn on to ask him to comment on Venzuela. It will be worth it just to see him squirm in his seat and observe the panic in his eyes before he collects himself and comes out with his usual pat evasive answers delivered in his faux passionate manner and weasel words. He needs to be Paxmanned on this but probably won't be.

Plastic. O NO, Banned!
I know b****r all (family site) about plastics but I do know an eco bandwagon when I see one careering about madly. I know the accompanying nauseating orgy of vitrue signalling by the usual suspects. The religious zeal with which the anti plastic brigade have latched on to this latest supposed environmental outlier of Armageddon/ ecocide.
So who knows if plastic is a problem -and does it matter anyway as it it's really not the issue nor are any of the other periodic eco scares that have come and gone like the fads they invariably are. The issue is that the environmentalists care and they are going to let us all know how much they care and they are going to lay collective guilt on us and it's going to involve a further curtailment of our liberties and we are going to have to do yet more penance which always ends up costing us in taxes -government's just gonna have to get that much bigger,that much more invasive,that much more finger wagging new agencies will emerge,more jobs for the environmentalists,more punishments for the heretics who deny Gaia and question his mighty powers and omnipotent will.
The despoilers of the earth -that's you and I folks are gonna have to pay and have to engage in governmental programmes of re education to correct our false consciousness regarding the sacred environment and apolgize daily for our plastic transgressions. The high priests of the green religion will sort out unbelievers and punnish them sorely!

Who Owns the Internet platforms?
Not Alex Jones! How about the owners? He has been thrown off a few platforms allegedly for his abusive content but the owners do not have to supply a reason -he's been critiquing them for ages and perhaps they had enough of the paranoia ingrate and din't see why they should showcase the loon and his rabid forays into the parallel universe he inhabits. Let him go somewhere else to pedal his paranoiac delusions. Seems fair to me.
One or two less platforms for the deranged to promote his bile and bilge seems like progress to me. If you use a platform the owner's get to make the rules be they arbitrary of fair. Without them you would not be able to self promote so a little gratitude might be in order rather than abuse you might think. Not that a vulgarian like Jones would know anything about such civility for sure.
Here I disagree with the sort of libertarian Brendan O Neil who I largely have a lot of time for and regard as one of the best defenders of liberty in the Lockean tradition I have seen on youtube but he argued recently and most erroneously I feel that such platforms are public property and he cited approvingly a US court case back in the 1950's involving a woman who asserted her right to hand out the Jehova's Witness magazine on a privately owned street which she won.
O Brien is a self identitying Marxist so I suppose he would have asuch a relaxed cavalier attitude towards private property which is what the both abovementioned are about and he will be interviewed by Yaron Brook in September so no doubt YB may question him closely on such matters and the principles of liberty they throw up. Whatever the case it should be interesting listening.

Greece is held together with Elastoplast!
If Greece was a business it would have gone into receivership years ago but thanks to the EU's Hall of Mirrors dodgy accounting,bailouts and voodoo economics it continuers to stumble around zombie fashion waiting for the next wave of reality to wash over it probaby in the next few years bringing EU shatter day ever closer.
As Italy reveals itself to be another basketcase EU country the latter will soon find that the UK and Brexit will be the very least of its problems as Britain sails away from the EU Titanic just before it sinks beneath the waves.

The Deep State IS the State!
There is no state within a state that is the deep state. That is smoke and mirrors conspiracy theorysville. The State is the deep state.It penetrates into every nook and cranny of what was people's private lives,you cannot move without a government permit,even your thoughts are policed in this pc world of thought crime,hate crime,causing offence crime.
It suits statists of both left and right to harp on about the deep state because it presents them as virtuous statesmen and the guys in the basement pulling the strings as the thwarters and secret operatives trying to sabotage the great work they the statists are doing for the public! It shifts attention from their nefarious out in the open deeds of statist intervention into the personal sphere,their daily incursions on our liberty, to some dark shadowy secret agents subverting the democratic process and operating as the hidden power behind the throne.
As if the throne itself is the virtuous part -the tyrannical monarchy being subverted!
You cannot go any deeper than the existing state. Keep your beady eyes on that and do not be distracted by the siren call of conspiracy theorists. There is no conspiracy -they are doing it all in the open,under our noses. The state is illegitimate in its present construction so let us focus on that and not what the statists want us to focus on as it is pure diversionary tactics.

Business Rates Ditto!
I call it the Mafia Tax. Nice little business you have here,wouldn't want anything to happen to it would you? A tax on enterprise which has done more to destroy the High St than anything else although admittedly the technology of the internet has played its part.
You will note that the idiot's solution is not to get rid of business rates but to impose swingeing ones on the interent companies! Let's cripple them and then there will be equality! This is how they think and the red top press which I used to have respect for is leading the charge. (It's hard to tell the Daily Mail from the Morning Star anymore at least on this issue).
Let's blame the 'Tech Giants'! How about the State Giants? Industry creates,governments plunder.It's not science a la rocket is it?

Council Tax Kiss your sorry Ass Goodbye!
As I indicated in my post Do we need Local councils my obvious verdict was no, so council tax abolition would be in the Capitalist Party manifesto as it is basically a crudely disguised property tax. As far as I can tell it replaced the rates system of which I know nothing at this point,not to forget the poll tax which briefly replaced the rates before that and helped we are told seal Thatcher's fate -but which as far as I understood it as I did not watch politics as closely as I do these days was a much fairer system in that everybody had to pay it and I do not think it was progressive to use that awful euphemism.
What will it be replaced with I can hear the naysayers whine. How about: Nothing! I know the States have sales tax and there would need to be a transitional stage as these things need to be phased out over a period of time and would cause too much chaos and dislocation if introduced overnight. But the direction of travel would be to privatise all the services the council now performs and thus the money people pay in council tax would be spent by them directly on services provided by privately run companies.
Here is a crucially important point that cannot be stressed enough and it applies to local government just as much as to national government. There is a world of difference between genuinely privately owned and run services and private companies working for the State via contracted out services. The difference is that between night and day. The mixed economy is statism with a figleaf of private company participation. The middle man ie the state is the paymaster and has overall supervision of the services and is motivated by government office terms and political electoral cycles which results in miss allocation of funds,short termism,political grandstanding,corruption, bribes, political favouritism in short crony capitalism and should not be in way shape or form confused with genuine free market laissez faire capitalism although it is deliberately conflated with it by politically motivated anti capitalists who seek to smear the ideology when such partnerships end up as they always do with the Carillion Syndrome and capitalism takes the rap..

Fake News?
One hesitates to use the term as it has been so effectively co opted and subverted by Trump into comprising of anything that criticizes him but that being said it is a genuine problem which afflicts not just the wilder shores of the internet but even sometimes it must be said the so called mainstream media.
Again one hesitates to push this too far as the term fake news has ome largely discredited as I say through misuse and lazy habitual overuse but, I have to confess that when listening to BBC news bulletins it's very hard to suppress from time to time the inner voice that sometimes becomes vocalised into a loud shout of: Fake News!
It is more a case of emphasis and news selection priorities with the BBC than outright misreporting or conscious lying. More unconscious bias than downright corrupt journalism. Not so much yellow journalism as pink journalism. However in journalism the sins of ommission can be just as bad as the sins of commission so we cannot let it off the hook for that. Whether this amounts to fake journalism is a judgement call but either way it is less than should be demanded from a public service broadcaster. But as I have said previously this is an insuperable problem with such a beast and the only solution is privatization where bias is a privilege of the newspaper or broadcaster and the public gets to choose which news agency and organ to patronize -not the State.

Coffee Onan -Good Riddance!
We won't be mourning the death of that absurd figure who headed up the despicable UN back in the day. A Ghanian -what a perfect and appropriate place for the leader of the UN to hail from!
Britain's departure from this truly evil organization would be one of the most pleasurable pieces of foreign policy I could ever dream of enacting. What a basketcase of deplorables comprises this ridiculous and truly malevolent institution.
Out out out damned spot of iniquity,the UN is everything that's wrong with the modern world -it's very existence is an affront to humanity,it is a cesspit of depravity,corruption,organized crime and tyranny and if Trump wants to do one thing to redeem his abjectly appalling presidency he could go someway to achieving that by closing down the UN offices in New york and removing at a stroke the US's sanction of the moral evil it represents.

Who are the biggest Casuists of them all?
The religious! Master sophists they are and it's easy to see why that would be. Rational people have no need of that because they use reason and seek clarity in thought and speech to convey meaning. The opposite motive guides the religious the very nature of their subject matter is obsfuscatory which is why nothing they say makes any sense.It's mystical mush,they sole motivation is to obscure meaning,dissimulate, deploy foggy indeterminate vague abstractions,equivocate,mask, conceal, use language in approximate rather than precise way,to generally cast of veil of confusion over what subject is at hand.
The religious major in equivocation and are definitely the most dishonest and untrustworthy people I have ever had any dealings with. As they base their whole belief system on a lie this is hardly surprising when it spills into every other area of their life and infects everything. And rationalization is rife amongst the religious. They can justify anything they do as being done for their creator,he is their imprimatur for whatever they choose to do however arbitrary and irrational.
It is obvious that if one bases one's whole belief system on a subjectivist emotionalist level of consciousness everything one does practically is going to be disastrous -garbage in garbage out as it were.A brain programmed and running on irrational is going to be self destructive and dangerous to be around. For this reason religion should be banished from the political arena entirely and should never drive public policy in so much as there would be any in a truly free capitalist system.
For an atheist it would be very inadvisable to have anything to do with those of the religious persuasion when it comes to business matters. They are mega dishonest and I speak from personal experience. Even socially why would one want to be in the company of a person who claims to have connection with the suppernatural and bases their life on the fictional concoctions of fantastical religious text cobbled together by fantasists perpetrating the biggest fraud on the human race in the whole of human history?What could one possibly gain from such company?

Why do people hate Estate Agents?!
As an old associate said recently: state agents are parasites! Really? Let's examine the roots of this animus shall we. In a sentence it is derived from a hatred of the Division of labour -a standard leftist not to say Leninist position. It reminds me of some lefty scumbag entertainer who said a few years ago that he and his band lived in East Germany back in the day when Bowie put it on the tourist map with his Heroes foray, socialist chic schtick and all the lesser mortals and satellites thought they would go there and do the same thing -a fellow travellers Alexi Sayle type holiday in Hell.
Anyway this bozo was on radio 4 (where else?) extolling the virtues of pre Soviet collapse East Germany and in particular its absence of advertising!.No doubt this was compensated for with life size posters of the dictator of the day was it Hoxa or something, the Stalinist stooge. He went on to lament the curse of advertising in the West.
It is in that kind of vein that the 'estate agents are parasites' plaint has to be seen. It's that pesky old division of Labour you see. To illustrate this and to show how I am not just going off on wild speculation the old associate went on to relate how he had set up his own For sale notice and done all the viewings but it did not lead to any peace of mind by all accounts as the experience had left him drained,made passes at by a homosexual viewer and on moving to his new place had to sit in his abode for 2 weeks to recover from the traumatic experience.
That's why we get other people to that do crap in the first place hello lol.
Also these do it yourself selling your house methods are only possible thru the internet and the people who set them up are just another level of that division of labour and by his pretzelogic would also be parasites! The internet? You didn't build that! You can't use it to sell your house -they are parasites.
Anyone who thinks they can be 'self sufficient' has a Robinson Crusoe complex for even a kibutz requires some division of labour and they are a minority sport to this day.
So estate agents of the world Unite -you have nothing to lose but the hatred and unthinking prejudices of blinkered anti capitalist zealots.

Do we need local Soviets - I mean Councils?
What are councils for?
Libraries? Really? Every other shop in our high st is a charity one selling books by the plenty for practically nothing. The there is something called The Internet which contains all the accumulated knowledge in human history. Even 5 year old children have phones -children in Africa do. Books are important yes but more important than:
Police stations?! They've closed down and when did you last see a policeman? They seem very coy and reclusive these days but that makes criminals happy and they are a growth industry for sure now that the police are so 'under resourced'. Maybe we should under resource them more by witholding the portion of council tax they are allotted. (No tickee,no washee).
The police have yielded the streets to the criminals. They certainly do not deal with noisy neighbors any more. That has been passed to the 'environmental agency' which when I finally got hold of them at gone midnight to complain of hooligan partying weekend neighbours all I got was a run around and told to write my complaint on their website on Monday.
Schools. See my posts on privatisation of.
Housing. See my recent posts on this. It involves abolition of social housing - council and associations.
Road maintenance. Ha ha ha ha ha etc. (We advocate wholesale privatisation of roads and streets).
Social care for elderly and childcare. That role should be filled by charities -non tax funded charities I should add as the whole charity sector has been effectively co opted by the state and become very politicized as a consequence (see Oxfam etc). The subversion of charities by the state is a whole separate subject in itself. With the privatization of all care homes and the abolition of the minimum and Living wage care homes will reduce over heads this removing the pressure from them imposed by government which led to many going bankrupt and closing down.
Licensing system. We advocate the total abolition of licensing. It is taxation by any other name. See my recent post Regulation,an assault on Liberty

Venezuela goes down the rabbit hole
How do you deal with Weimar like inflation Venezuelan style? Your currency is worthless,one dollar is 'worth' a million of yours. Simples. You print new money with all or most of the zeros deleted from the notes! Numbers mean what we want them to mean...
Now that they've solved their economic problems perhaps they can go into business of turning water into wine and Mad uras can perform this feat whilst walking on water and receive beatification from the pope as a latter day Bolivar.
Who needs the magic realism of Garcia Marquez when you have his phantasmagorical fictions taking place in Venezuela right now, in unreal time?

A Levels -Lewis Carol style
The government(!?) decided that there was not enough rigor in the A level system,it was too exam oriented and course work was being neglected and consequently lacked the necessary depth which system apparently favours girls who are not so good at exams because of the stress or something. So they have beefed it up and made it more demanding and as a result it will be harder to get higher grades.
All well and good but in order to counter this effect the schools have adjusted the grade system so no appreciable difference has been recorded! A pointless exercise or what?
But of course the problem is far wider than such manipulation of outcomes and is the very concept State education itself and the fact that the government thinks it is its job to manage the exam system and to run the educations system period.
Political involvement in education should be the preserve of totalitarian states only. The Capitalist Party needless to say would effect a complete separation of school and state and Yes for ideological reasons. We don't want the state monkeying with children's brains, influencing the curriculum and the content thereof -we don't want it anywhere near the promulgation of ideas of whatever nature.
When all schools are privately run they can use whatever examination system they so choose and the market will determine whether they are well attended and popular with children and parents alike not some political mandarin and bureaucrat with their statist notions of dumbed down egalitarian education 'all must have prizes' mentality, pandering and engendering the snowflake approach to schooling where the only rigour in the classrooms is rigour mortis.

O No he Kahn-t
Pakistan: No! Not even that benighted country deserves the shallow narcissist Imra Kahn the ex cricketer popinjay who, he announces, is going to fuse Welfarism with Izlam. Two injections of poison instead of one.
He will no doubt be as successful as another hopeless dreamer Rory Stuart tory minister in charge of prisons who has pledged as his number one goal to reduce the assaults by prisoners on other prisoners and guards in his first year or he will resign. This is the idiot who thought he could save Afghanistan and went out there to do his ex colonial best re white man's burden to administer something approaching democracy to that double benighted land. The last time I checked that wasn't going so well and all parties are now negotiating with the Taliban who the West specifically entered that country to subdue and defeat.
The ex playboy Khan will crash to earth soon enough as he navigates the choppy waters of factionalism and religious extremism bedevilling Pakistan as it does the whole of the middle east cesspit of human depravity and the only success he will be able to record is if he comes out of the experience alive.

I Forgot the Italian Mafia!
In my thumbnail account of Italy's woes I for some reason left out the mafia. Perhaps it's because in a basketcase country like Italy it's hard to tell the mafia from the legitimate government so mired in corruption is the latter. Tell them apart! Additionally in effect all mixed economies are by their very nature corrupt and have more than the germ of the mafioso about them and let us not forget that the tragedy of Grenfell was caused primarily by the unholy alliance of business and state,a mongrelized 'capitalism' without any of the constraints of the free market to protect it from the vagaries of pull,gov influence,backhanders,political empire building, short term expedience and buck passing. It's nobody's fault, it's everybody's fault syndrome.
In the UK we have no need of the mafia because the government performs that function perfectly well on its own. Watch out for wholesale disaster as HS2 proceeds. Try and imagine a herd of white elephants rampaging across the British countryside and then square it.
As an aside -or is it - apparently another contender I did not put in the dock in my earlier post on Italy in the blame stakes is our good old friend Environmentalism although not having studied it closely I cannot identify what is claimed against it so may return to that later but we know lots of the pollution in our cities was caused directly by the environmentalist drive for the automobile industry to convert diesel which has turned out to be very toxic for the athmosphere although an apology from them has not been forthcoming to date so they invariably are more vocal and influential in social political matters these days and their judgement is almost always unsound and profoundly misguided.

Religion Destroyed the Middle East
That's it really! Where is the greatest collection of basket case countries concentrated on earth? No multiple question test is required! Throw in some Western oil and watch the conflagration. Should we have left the camel f******s alone? In retrospect, probably yes and they would still be in tents squabbling among themselves in petty localised tribal conflicts.
When the greatest empire in human history folded up it's tents (unfortunate and inapposite metaphor) the natives reverted to type but now had big money to play with and decided instead of having free markets and liberalising their economies to turn their petty Thiefdoms into Oiligarchies and the rest is history grim bloody and ongoing but internationalised,exported to the West all the way to the blood flecked streets of London. That'll teach you for giving us civilization and lifting us from our medieval pre Enlightenment time warp of poverty and decay! Right back atcha!
Lamentable indeed but if you get to the core of it it is Godamn religion,mysticism married with arrant human peccancy,cynical manipulation of mass credulity bornof mysticism. This is not the way rational players behave but it is the way people's motivated by faith pretty much always behave.
Izlam could have chosen to embrace modernity and civilization but it went the way of all medieval mystical theocracies mired in intellectual stasis and created a morribund continent riven by factional religious mania and an internicine nihiistic death wish. Marry that with nukes and you have what we have today a nuked up theocratic death cult.

Italy's Blame-fest goes into super overdrive
When everyone is responsible for infrastructure in the mixed economy no one is! It's the ultimate get out of jail free card. The buck passing starts here. It was Brussels for its forbidding budget controls which prevented Italy from spending what was required to shore up its crumbling infrastructure.Or it was past Italian governments getting infrastructure on the cheap. Or it was the companies for the contracted out services who are to blame for cutting corners. Who killed cock Robbin?
An unseemly mud slinging exercise is under way but the people are still dead lying under tons of rubble as the guilty players argue among themselves and the pm flailing around helplessly and over compensating, proclaims a state of of emergency lasting a whole year!
Italy has hardly ever never known anything other than corrupt rule and membership to the EU has merely institutionalised that state of affairs, entrenching it still further.. What it has never tried however is free market capitalism where no one can take the blame except the people who have sole ownership of it, ie, business,private capital free from political interference,'partnership' with government, quasi autonomy and all the other contradictory ambivalent excrescences and compromises inherent in dysfunctional mixed economy economy states.
What we see instead is corrupt politicians scapegoating the contractors and using them as a whipping boy for the sins of the mixed economy and no doubt using the latest bridge collapse debacle as an excuse to argue for yet more statism and more government controls with the weary predictably of a much seen 3rd rate b movie with the inevitable conclusion that All they need is a strong leader.....

Aretha's Death has Been Hijacked!
No doubt she sang as if from another dimension but her death has become an instant squalid lefty sob-fest with the usual suspects, the likes of Obummer going into Obamese magniloquence overdrive -ie just being his tedious self and the forever ignominious race hustler Jessy Jackson putting in his tuppence of mawkish gibberish. To saying nothing of the BBC quickly losing any sense of proportion and pushing all the news stories down to accommodate the death of the queen of Soul who provided some of the soundtrack to the 60's civil rights movement so beloved of the leftist organisation.
Just play Say a Little Prayer and switch off the unseemly sight of the circling vultures signalling their virtue as they swoop on her barely cold corpse.

The State's Pathetic Collusive response to terrorists
They are holding the psycho who attempted to ram people to death in Westminster but have asked the government for an extension till Monday because the criminal is still 'not cooperating'. So he only has to hold out till Monday keeping stuum and then he can go?
Thumbscrews! Now! We are at war. He is an enemy combatant.He has renounced his citizenship by his actions.He should be in a military detention centre -a British Guatano bay where no Queensbury rules obtain and where the Brussels European Human Rights does not hold sway or must not and would not under the Capitalist Party!
Tommy Robinson for whom I hold very little brief if any has been treated worse than this specimen of pond life. I would prefer him to have a public lynching than the treatment he is getting now for engaging in an act of war on British soil towards our citizens.
The government official was coy for a reason when he said the vermin was originally from 'another country' when they knew damn well it was Sudan and he had been granted refugee status and then proceeded to attempt to blow up the hands that fed him. Small wonder they did not want that news to come out on the day of the arrest but waited till the outrage had abated somewhat before revealing it -news management,verging on fake news.
And you wonder why we have lost the war we never declared and the enemy is waxing strong and emboldened by our weakness,vacillitions and pusilaminous non response?
Unfair? Listen to what some 'expert' on the BBC said in connection with the species of social pathology in question: 'we are looking to see who or what provoked him to act in this way'. There you have it. The criminal is really a victim,'provoked' into carrying out an atrocity. Case rested.

Mad Dogs and Englishmen Don't go out in the Midday sun
They think it's all over -well it is now, the 'heatwave', the Brits can stop moaning and kvetching,they've got their 'normal' weather back again -leaden grey skies,fresh breezes, the sun long fled, it's starting to get dark at 8.3opm,soon they will be able to snuggle up to the fire enveloped in darkness and feel the cold assault their vitals -what's not to like?
The much rumoured 'heatwave till October' was just that,an ugly canard put out by sunny minded optimists determined to strike fear into the hearts of the anti heatwave miserabilists but it came to nothing and the doughty dreary British weather norms have reasserted themselves with a vengeance.
For the rest of us we can only lament the loss of that briefly experienced Mediterranenan heaven and dream of exile to a sun kissed sunnier upland across the channel, perchance to dream...

Regulation, an Assault on Liberty and Capitalism
Nothing kills creativity more surely than socialist regulation -not that there is any other kind. It is the tool of would be tyrants who loathe freedom entrepreneurism industry commerce trade,capitalism and it is an unremitting war against these manifestations of freedom and the regulators and the leftists behind it go about their 'business' with a with a near religious and fanatical zeal as on a moral crusade.
The appetite for regulation grows with the feeding and it is often the only form of exponential growth mixed economies experience -a whole industry is built up around regulation,a growth industry ie a cancerous growth. No one benefits from regulation bar the regulators and those large companies that are thus protected from challenging newcomers who can never enter the field becuse of the prohibitve costs of the regulation that the bigger companies can more easily absorb and offset. Regulation is thus protectionism writ large,phoney capitalism, a closed shop effectively - a modern version of guild socialism.
The Capitalist Party would eliminate all regulatory frameworks and legislation, start a bonfire of regulation -a raging inferno and set all entrepreneurs free. The whole licensing system would be torn up and the only qualification for success would be creativity drive ambition,not how much you can pay to the local mafia councils with their bribes,extortion and licensing protection rackets. It is costing the country billions in higher prices,bureaucracy,taxes,productivity, killing innovation and is indeed a virulent cancer on capitalism which is why leftists the world over love and revere it so much.

No one benefits from regulation bar the regulators and those large companies that are thus protected from challenging newcomers who can never enter the field becuse of the prohibitve costs of the regulation that the bigger companies can more easily absorb and offset. Regulation is thus protectionism writ large,phoney capitalism, a closed shop effectively - a modern version of guild socialism.
The Capitalist Party would eliminate all regulatory frameworks and legislation, start a bonfire of regulation -a raging inferno and set all entrepreneurs free. The whole licensing system would be torn up and the only qualification for success would be creativity drive ambition,not how much you can pay to the local mafia councils with their bribes,extortion and licensing protection rackets. It is costing the country billions in higher prices,bureaucracy,taxes,productivity, killing innovation and is indeed a virulent cancer on capitalism which is why leftists the world over love and revere it so much.
I'm Only Human!
I heard that line repeated in a song on the radio the other day and it is of course a regular and familiar expression. It is invariably used by someone hoping to get away with some moral breach and saying in effect what can I do,don't expect competence or integrity from me -I am only human. It is a whine and demand for moral sanction -and should be witheld on principle!
But I'm only human is also an anti human sentiment. Only? A mere human -it is a putdown of the whole human race and it has religious overtones too. It is in effect saying we humans are mere mortals -we do not have the power of the gods -what can you expect from us?
It is funny in a sense that an innocent seeming and sounding throway line like that can conceal such malevolence and contain such evil philosophy and it is perhaps a salutary warning that the casual phrases we imbibe with our mother's milk can contain within them most deadly of deadliest philosophical poison and that we should be on our guard against such common usages of which there are legion as if our very lives and survival depend upon it - because in fact they do.

What is the Essence of Religion?
Emotionalism! This is what drives all religious sentiment and expression. In the absence of reason which of course religious belief is totally devoid of, what else is left but emotionalist fervour?
The key element to note among pretty much all religionists is the profound mistrust of reason and more particularly the Intellect. The biggest insult many of the religious persuasion can hurl at the unbeleivers is that they are intellectual. It is pretty much the only group of people who actually use the word intellectual as a term of abuse,the final proof that someone is suspect and dishonest,the damning irrefutable evidence.
Only perhaps the 20th century communists with whom the religionists have quite a lot in common incidentally and more on that another time, is there a comparable and visceral hatred fear and loathing of reason and the intellect. Small wonder for it is the very application of reason and the intellect that both groups of beleivers have most to fear for when it is turned on them and their absurd ridiculous claims they crumble like pie crust at their first contact with reality via the intellect.
Rather than be offended at the intended insult of being labelled an intellectual such accused should wear it like the badge of honour it so undoubtedly is and thank the accusers for the albeit unintended compliment they have given them.

A Bridge Too Far
Tragic events in Italy but the commentary is as dreary as it is predictable: why didn't the government yada yada yada especially from the BBC of course. No one has said why is government building bridges? So we at the nascent Capitalist Party will!
Socialist/fascist/mixed economy/collectivist government leads to rationing. Always. Its the sine qua non and nature of the statist beast. (Duh hello time again). The Welfare State was barely born when they were rationing stuff and charging people for stuff and the NHS has been on rationing for 70 years and counting.
So they cut corners,they patch and mend,they empire build but they are cowboy builders. They live high off the hog as they cream off the taxes mafia style -government lied people died.
Grenfell,it's the same story,state means shoddy but the wrong lessons are always drawn of course. We need more government! Like a cure for cancer is more cancer you mean?
The government is too big for its bridges.

And Welfare for All
Paul Mccartney has a free bus pass! He no doubt uses it to circle Penny Lane whenever he feels like a magical nostalgia tour. He gets winter fuel allowance to warm his chilly mansion in Sussex or wherever, possibly. And a free tv license. So when his accountant is telling him how many tens of thousands of pounds he has paid in tax he can comfort himself round his freely heated fire while watching tv.. His children went to state schools so he sure has had his money's worth out of the tax system!
So we are all in it together Paulie. But my real point is this. The welfare system system is crazy. And the language it is couched in is fascinating, coy euphemisms are employed to conceal what's going on because if it were couched in plain english we could all see it for the fraud that it is.. It's not called welfare, it's called Tax Credits(?!)
'Mandy' -I conceal her real name of course has lots of kids,and works a bit so she gets 'working tax credits' which as far as I can gather means that whatever money she earns through her employer is matched by an equivalent welfare payment. (Correct me if I have got this wrong anybody). But she can only work about 23 hrs a week if she is to get that duplicate state payment. So we hear of employees who just work 23 hours while their other colleagues work full time and they get effectively 46 hours worth of pay for 23 hours work. (Again,please correct me if I have this wrong lady or gentleman).
How does such a system square with the gov assertion that it is 'making work pay'?
So even people who are working are on welfare. Left wing people say bizarely that this is not fair -the State is bailing out the employers who should be paying their staff enough so the State does not have to :wait for this: subsidise the wages the employers should be paying! Get your head round that pretzellogic if you can. So such welfare - hope you are following this - is really not welfare at all but a subsidy to the employer!
Meanwhile back in the real world we shall continue. That is only one of numerous benefits our fictional Mandy is getting.She has a live in lover but the state thinks she is a single parent living just with her kids. She gets child benefit -for spreading her legs to her 3 different male 'friends', child benefit, housing benefit, the list goes on.
Do not beleive you working lady and gentlman for one minute all the Duncan Smith type tory rhetoric about Universal Credit, making work pay yada yada yada the welfare gravy train is alive and well -and kicking you in the teeth. Governments come and go but welfare endures.
Hence the reason why the Capitalist Part will end the welfare state and people will take out unemployment insurance like they do pet or fire insurance if they choose to. Endof.

A Profile of those drawn to Conspiracy Theories
They are a certain breed conspiracy theorists and they have characteristics that are pretty uniform and universal. They are overwhelmingy male,single usually aligned with fundamentalist religious organisations, invariably inpecunious, unemployed or working in a low skilled job and exhibit emotional instability and high levels of anger.
And they are looking for reasons as to why they are such failures and the imperative need they have to find such reasons bogus or otherwise is what draws them to conspiracy theories which explain their failure and allows them to attain some faux self esteem by finding a focus for their rage,a scapegoat to explain away their lifetime of failure and conspiracy theories fit the bill in every way shape or form.
It's the jews! The zionists! The bielderbergers! The multinationals. The globalists. The One World governments. Soros. These are the source of their problems, the foes to be slain and only when that is done will they get a chance in life, only when those obstacles are eliminated will they have a hope of getting what's theirs.
The Alt right brigade fit this profile to a t. They are losers. This is what attracts them to Trump because he tells them the fault is not in themselves but in their stars,or the Chinese eating their lunch, or the fake news ad nauseam.
They love Alex Jones! They were losers before he came on the scen and now they are empowered,their self induced misery is now explained away,externalised,projected onto them, the system,the globalists.
This is pure rampant emotionalism, the substitution of reason with emoting and it is invariably interlarded with religious fundamentalism,mysticism tinged with new age ism -a potent intoxicating brew designed to fuel their narcissistic solipsistic rage and prevent them from ever discovering that they are losers because of their own failure to act with reason and pursue a self interested course of action based on reason and logic rather than blind emotionalism.
This is their tragedy and the likes of Icke and Jones et all are feeding on their credulity and garnishing a career and notorieity on the thousands of suckers who are drawn into their arrant knavish ratiocinations leading them away from self awareness and any possibility whatsoever of making something of their self broken lives.

Corbin's Real Crime
As bad as his affiliations with Paleswinian terrorists going back decades undoubtedly is - which is hardly news anyway as most know his past form in this dept - this is actually the least horrific thing about this worm - which is his homicidal plans for the British people if /when he gets his hands on the levers of power which he could well do as the country sleepwalks into tyranny as it shows all the signs of doing.
It is his Venezuelan socialist policies which should be highlighted on a daily basis by the media and shouted from the rooftops or red tops but its total silence on this matter is looking like complicity to me or at the very least a woeful abdication of journalistic responsibility -moral if not legal as we support a totally free press -but really if they have a role is it not to warn of the dangers of such a would be totalitarian with socialist tyranny on his mind?
If not the press who? What else could be more important? I cannot over emphasise enough what a disaster is about to befall this country and the flabbergasting fact that the British press has done next to nothing to avert it.

The Way with terrorists
The Westminster terrorist is in custody but in the words of the police 'not cooperating'. WATERBOARD him. That is official Capitalist Party policy towards his ilk. Torture is a legitimate tool of interrogation for terrorist suspects in time of war -and we are at war, we just won't acknowledge it. The Islamists know it, we are in denial hence they have the upper hand.They can carry on acting as enemy combatants in the full knowledge they will be treated as civilians and British citizens with full civil legal rights. Wrong! They lose those things when they cross over to terrorist acts in a time of war. Waterboard him NOW.
The foreign office minister or whoever has said he is a black man who was not on the radar but that has already since been flatly contradicted by another spokesman who said he was known by them so its the usual confusion and obsfuscation by a security service that clearly does not know what it is doing and cannot joins the dots - and the minister has said he was originally from 'another country'. Why the coyness? This muddled confusion and garbled announcements repeats an all too familiar and monotonous pattern whenever such events transpire and does not inspire confidence whatsoever.

Monsanto v the Mob
The disastrous verdict in the US that will see Monsanto paying damages to a farmer who has cancer and blames it on 'round up' could have fatal consequences for millions of people and set the agrochemical revolution in sharp reverse.
It will be appealed and hopefully overturned but is a graphic illustration of what happens when science is placed in the dock by the ignorance and the stupidity of the mob with the help of immoral lawyers and the anti progress anti capitalist anti growth eco crazed xealots who have hijacked rational debate and put emotion near religious hysteria and atavistic irrationality back on it s throne..

Should the Scrotland office be closed down?
There has always been something bogus about the Scottish Independence movement as Scrotland has been a dependent on English largesse for the longest time and has shown no willingness or desire to stop sucking from the English teat with it's coyly named Barnet Formula disguising its parasitic relationship with English taxpayers.
It is highly significant that its call or whine for independence goes hand in hand with its craven obesiance to Brussels and it is hard to avoid the conclusion that in seeking ever closer union with Brussels it means to merely transfer allegiance from its english sugar daddy to the Brussels one. Independence my assenach.
Of course being scottish dumb it has failed to read the writing on the wall re the EU even though it be writ in neon lights that this particular star it has hitched its wagon to is fallen and about to crash to earth as lurches from one political crisis to the next or perhaps its rabid nationalism will be at home in the EU where that sort of thing is on the rise and the spectre of fascism haunts Europe yet again?
Whatever the case the Capitalist Party would probably advocate closing down the Scottish office,ditching the Barnet Formula and vetoing any attempt at a second referendum. The Scottish people settled that matter a few years ago but just like the Brusselphile she is Sturgid wants another bite of the cherry because the people voted wrongly,they did not know what they were doing -the usual establishment condescension whenever the people dare to return a verdict unpleasing to the establishment elites in other words.

Yes, There is a Minister for Cycling!
I only found out about this yesterday when the gov announced that it was bringing in legislation to enable cyclists who kill pedestrians to face the same charges as car drivers as there is no provision for that at present. So if such a minister exists for cycling how long before there I a minister for Silly Walks? Or was that job taken by Michael Portillo years ago?
As government is like a rash that spreads an antidote is needed, a radical minister cull and a closing down of whole ministries indeed. Under the Capitalist Party it would be quicker to say what ministries would be left standing rather than what would be culled: Foreign office, er what else? The home office I suppose though what does that do anyway. I need to do some homework clearly but as the role of the state is to protect citizen's individual rights and to that end it requires the courts,prisons,police,armed forces only ministries pertaining to those activities would exist the rest would go. So go figure.
The state is a necessary good,there would still be the judiciary,legislature and executive branches but there would be a bonfire of the rest with the cycling minister at the head of the queue yegods.

Every Liddle Counts!
Apparently and I have not read it the Rod in the Spectator has said that far from there being too much Islamaphobia' in the tory party there is not enough! I heartily agree with him. He is in danger of getting his collar felt yet again by the PC brigade ie the police as he was under investigation recently for daring to : make jokes about the Welsh. I kid you not.This is how bad its got in this country now.
Evelyn Waugh would have ended up in jail for doing a similar thing in his Decline and Fall (of the English).
So yes we do need more Islamaphobia as what is a phobia but a fearr and where there is a legitimate cause for fear ie the growth like a cancer of Izlam in the West fear is the order of the day. We are right to shudder as Tony Parsons in the Sun the other day said he does whenever he sees a muslim woman covered from head to foot in a sack.They don't even dress like that in the Middle freakin east for the most part. It is a statement of intent.An intent to manifest a dark nihilism,a sinister signal of malevolence and downright hostility to western liberal values and we should not tolerate it any more than we should tolerate Nazis walking down the street with swastikas and Hitler masques.
As Parsons says it is a rebuke to everything he holds dear,freedom,liberty,women's liberation from misogynist attitudes towards them -all the things that feminists for godsakes are supposed to hold dear but we do not get a peep out of them on this except to come down on the side of the Islamists and defend the right of women to wear the dress of submission to their much uttered word patriachy.
If Izlam were a white evangelical Christian outfit those feminists would be the first in line to condemn the repressive opressive culture that has women dress like that but because it is Izlam they are as silent as the night and by so being are every bit as complicit in the subjection of women and every bit as guilty as the tyrannical culture that has created the burkah hijab and other female imprisoning dress in the first place and that is to their eternal shame and ignominy.

BBC for Sale! Interested Rupert,or Koch Bros?
Whilst it is true that the multimedia revolution has made BBC hegemony null and pretty much void it still has a monstrous reach across the ether and like all State behemoths acts and behaves in a despotic manner and pumps out a steady stream of pro statist propaganda and is stuffed to the gunwales with leftists,fellow travelers,neo Marxists,feminists -embittered twisted sexually repressed middle class women with nary a even conservative among its ranks bar Andre Neil the token non leftist.
It's claims of political neutrality are risible and transparently demonstrably false and it gets its recruitment from its defacto house journal in the back pages of the Guardian and it's claims of 'independence' from government are equally absurd, ridiculous and a downright lie on its very face as the BBC is funded soley by the TV license and a tax by any other name is still a tax. (It's that quasi autonomous Orwellian doublethink at work again. It can be validated only if anyone can find a quasi pregnant woman or a quasi vegetarian. Where's the beef?)
If you are dependent on a government enforced at the point of a gun or imprisonment license for your very existence whatever else you are you are not independent of the government -it is your paymaster and who pays the license calls the tune.
This issue is sometimes confused by the fact that the BBC very often makes a point of criticising the government of the day as if to prove by so doing that it is indeed independent from it but whatever criticism it levels at government it is pretty much always for not being statist enough! For not taxing or regulating enough. It is ergo more royalist than the king but the idea that it is anything other than profoundly viscerally pro statism and big government is frankly delusional.It is there to promote the State per se not necessarily the gov of the day which as I say it likes to chide to create the illusion that it is independent from gov which makes it in my book duplicitous as well as tendentious to the nth degree and of course in so doing in a most brazen and blatant fashion it should be added, it is flagrantly violating it's own charter wherein is contained a commitment to be impartial and ideologically neutral and has been doing that for 70 years! A State within a State or what?
Of course the Capitalist Party would sell off the BBC because a state broadcaster cannot be anything other than statist left to its own devices and gov should not be mandating ideological content anyway. Like water finds its own level state broadcasting finds its statists drawn magnetically to it ready and willing to broadcast the message. Only a free market in broadcasting can bring about the plurality of views those at the BBC are forever extolling but are never, by the nature of the beast of state broadcasting able or willing to deliver, indeed they are in their very bones, fibre of their beings and dna comitted to preventing that outcome at all costs.

Britain should share US Aims re Iran
It stands as the biggest threat to civilization since the emergence of the Third Reich and Soviet Union. Iran is public enemy no 1 -Nazis with Nukes who have a national eschatological death wish and want to take the whole world down with them as true Jihadis do.
So why are we playing footsie with them? Why is the UK siding with Russia and Brussels in cosying up to these Islamic Fascists? They should be taken out Now. Trump is right on this matter though it sticks in my throat to say so, but whether it will be anything other than his characteristic hot air remains to be seen. He has already appeased the mass murdering communist swine Kim Il Sick so he has recent past form but at least his sentiments are correct and he is right to urge the UK to come back from the dark side and take a firm stand against this execrably evil regime in Iran.
Or stand back and let Israel do the job but it cannot even deal with Gaza (which I think it should have flattened) so maybe Israel is a paper tiger now.
Once again the Capitalist Party would be for sorting out islamic terrorism once and for all by taking the abovementioned action against Iran and threatening Saudi Arabia with the same. That would send a clear message to our would be and existing home grown islamafascists that the gig is up.

Or stand back and let Israel do the job but it cannot even deal with Gaza (which I think it should have flattened) so maybe Israel is a paper tiger now.
Once again the Capitalist Party would be for sorting out islamic terrorism once and for all by taking the abovementioned action against Iran and threatening Saudi Arabia with the same. That would send a clear message to our would be and existing home grown islamafascists that the gig is up.
The HOUSES of Parliament
Once upon a time the government of Great Britan decided it would get involved in the the house building business. It is lost in the mists of time what political party dreamed this up but it was probably the socialist Labour party although Macmillan the Red tory I believe went in for an expansion of house building in a big way and was quite happy to boast about it as a great achievement so once again Labour/Tory/ spot the difference.We are all socialists now kind of thing.
Today the gov announces a Tory gov that is going to abolish homelessness by providing all indigent wastrels with social housing costing hundreds of millions of pounds. Quelle surprise. And that lady and gentleman is why we need a Capitalist Party to say NO NO NO, we are not and never will be a social housing project Party,we totally reject the idea that this is the role of the state. We will NEVER build a single house - and we will sell off All existing council And Housing Association stock. We will further abolish housing benefit and repeal All gov legislation controlling the private rental sector.
If you stand on a street corner giving free stuff away pretty soon a Very long queue will form and soon it will be stretching around the block and the next block and the next. Then gov will say see what a need there is for this free stuff.We must expand gov to meet this need,not to do so would be a national scandal and disgrace.Lets pick the pockets of everybody so we can give away all this free stuff -vote for us Now!
Never underestimate the craven stupidity and gullibility of the public when it comes to this issue. They will fall for it every time. It's why we get the crap govs we do -which the public then complains about! Stop voting for them - Hello!
So why are we the Capitalist Party even getting involved in this madness you might ask. Well,you have to try,appeal to reason.Just get a percentage of people to say o yes, we are being irrational and we are voting in politicians who are playing on our irrationality and feeding parasitically off it to furnish their careers of evil and it's got to stop. We will vote for The Capitalist Party.
I am being naieve? Probably lol ha ha ha
Postcript: True to form the socialist Labour party has announced that the gov' decision to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on eliminating homelessness is 'patheitc' as much more is required so we see how in a textbook illustration everytime the tories enact or propose to enact some socialist legislation Labour pockets the concession and ups the ante. The tories thus serve as the stepping stone for a full blown socialist Labour gov. Very useful idiots indeed.Theyv'e been doing it since the get go.

One Export we will stop: Foreign Aid
The international welfare prog past govs have set up will of course be ended. Sending billions of taxpayers money abroad is a moral obscenity and those responsible for its administration should be fired and the departments in question closed down immediately.
Even the idiots who dreamed/ Nitemared up the Welfare State never envisaged it would be extended to the four corners of the earth in Foreign Aid.It isbeyond a national scandal that this has been allowed to happen and the fact that most Conservatives are in favour of it and have done nothing to oppose it tells us all we need to know about them.

Taxation the tool of Tyranny!
Originally taxation -always tyranical was used to fund armies and foreign adventure and keep the peace of the realm. Logical enough albeit as I say a violation of liberty as the only proper arrangement amongst peoples who wish to be truly human and free is a system of non state coercion and the forcible extraction of monies from the people is always tyrannical regardless for what cause it is extracted noble or ignoble.
However, as I say, at least taxation for the above purpose had some logic to it in its own way and was somewhat understandable but at a certain point in history round about the late1800s starting with BisMarx's first Welfare State and gathering apace in England with theLoyd Gorgion Liberals who at that point transformed themselves from 19th century liberals to what can now be seen in retrospect as prototypical socialists who, with the introduction of a pension scheme, and a socialising of education oversaw the nascent creeping advance of welfarism and with unionisation of the workplace and various surreptitious incremental steps towards a socialist infrastructure we can see a prefiguration of the full blown welfare state finally ushered in by the Leninist looking -and sounding Clement Atlee and his Labour wrought Welfare State, the 'intellectual' product itself of Beveridge a full blown statist ideologue in a hurry.
So we can see how taxation was 'corrupted' so to speak and turned from a means of keeping the country safe from external and internal threats into a tool of Egalitarianism with the implicit and increasingly explicit function of social engineering,'redistributing' wealth to use the coy and sly euphemism for outright theft, from the producers to feed the non productive or semi productive whose need was now a lien on the producers and those who created the capitalist system, by means of 'progressive' (another euphemism) taxation,expressly designed to bring about social engineering and the social control of the wealth producers, reducing them to little more than slaves of the slow unimaginative dullards who had now become the new royalty by dint of their relative uselessness.
And here we are today with a massive expansion of the state into all areas of people's private lives to the stultification of the polity,a sclerosis of economics and productivity and a general malaise of fear and suspicion where none dare speak the truth about practically anyything for fear of what state operatives may do to them. Will they end up in jail for speaking their minds now?
Thus the Churchillian warning, roundly scoffed at and criticised at the time about what the introduction of the Welfare State would inevitably necessitate: a police Gestapo State has come to pass. Welcome to the future.It has now arrived.
Before I interrupted myself and digressed, the point is the Capitalist Party would phase taxation out over a generation. There would have to be a cut off point where people no longer receive benefits of any kind,say 30 35 and are given due warning to start saving for their retirement. They would of course be reimbursed for any tax they have paid up to that point.The welfare of all the rest above that age would have to be honoured since they paid into that wacky system and are owed what is due to them and not to do so would be arbitrary,dictatorial and immoral.
These are logistical matters that belong to the science and philosophy of government and law of course but are far from insuperable and the general direction of travel is hopefully indicated.

Welfare Farewell!
Private health insurance, private education for all! This could be sold more easily than most people imagine. If you ask people what they think of their car insurance,house insurance,pet insurance the chances are they will be pretty positive and if they are not they know they can get a better deal elswhere anyway at the click of a mouse.
But ask them about their experience with the NHS and their local gp -if they can find one that is or their child's school and the chances are there will be a very different response with widespread fears and criticism expressed albeit guardedly as you are not supposed to openly criticise the Welfare State Cult. It is the unofficial religion after all,the totem we are all obliged to worship or at the very least pay lip service to albeit thru gritted teeth and forced smiles.
The British love their postcode lottery education system, the ever growing NHS waiting lists,it's 5 year Plans that come to nought forever waiting for that great service that is always coming next year not this,the littered broken promises of Eldorado that the politicans use to slither to power that end up in squalid overcrowded blood flecked corridors of the dying on stretchers,the people parked up in ambulances outside with only intimations of the grim reaper for company. Don't they love it all.
The British people have surely waited long enough for the promised land of great healthcare, the New Jurusalem that is more salem than anything else. We will give them a brighter tomorrow,a future that does not lead to misery and slow protracted death in healthcare and ignorance and stupidity in education as only a scant look at what passes for education in the state system will amply illustrate. If the exam system is dumbed down anymore congential idiots will pass with flying colours -oh,that's happening already!
Only free market capitalism will bring about a renaissance in education,a New Enlightenment where knowledge is once more revered and pursued hungrily,where political correctness is expunged as the deadly tocsin and enemy of free inquiry it is,where micro aggression,safe spaces are seen as the Marxist post modernist excrescences they are and banished from the hallow groves of academe to the darkest recesses of Marxist hellholes of Venezuela and North Korea from which they are provenanced.

Why Capitalism?
Because it is the only system for which individual rights are essential and indispensable to its successful operations. It requires non coercion by the state in order to function. It is the opposite of all statist systems whatever their their stamp be they socialism,communism,fascism,mixed economy ism,autocracy, Liberalism, social democracy yada yada.
Capitalism is dependent upon reason,individual choice,non collectivism in order to flourish and humans require those elements for their very survival and growth.
No compromise with any elements of statism and coercion are tolerated whatsoever here which automatically precludes the present system of the mixed economy which is just a mixture of freedoms and controls,freedom and slavery which of course is contradictory and schizoid and ergo incredibly unstable hence all the economic cycles inherent within it which lead to boom and bust and which will ultimately lead to either complete liberty or much more likely and present in existing trends, ultimate authoritarianism and totalitarianism -see our present culture and polity.

The Anti Letterbox/Bank Robber League
Borris v Emperor's new clothes -that's an easy call innit? Well you would think so but apparently according to the BBC and the whole rotten to the core stinking Establishment he should apolgise! To the people who want to go round in medieval dress and whose threatening presence in our midst is an open rebuke to the very liberal society that took them in in the first place - from the Muslim hell holes from which they fled.Why else did they come here -for the weather (bar the unseasonal heatwave just passed).
Maybe they came here for economic reasons I can hear some say. But why situation so dire across the whole godawful Middle East prey tell? All muslim countries are economic basket cases and they are for a reason -they are culturally backward,impoverished,statist theocracies who have scant regard for individual rights or liberty -it goes with the territory.
Izlam does not even allow usury. Try development without that. So they rely on Oil -a wholly European western civilization product which they promptly nationalised on 'independence' and used the money to line their own pockets and keep their own people subject with theocatical dictats depriving them of their liberty and inculcating them with murderous hatred toward the West that gave them the only semblance of civilization they were ever gonna get with their insane anti life muslim mentality.
So no,we, should all support Borris and deplore the craven conservatives who cannot miss an opportunity to grovel before Izlam,proffer apologies for daring to exist in a free liberal society and who are doing the Islamists work for them for shame.
And Bravo Rowan Atkinson for daring to speak out in a profession that specializes in political correctness and for all things unsound and deranged across the so-called liberal spectrum.

Monarchy in the UK
In the words of the famous political commentator Harry Enfield The British Monarchy: NO!
We know,the Queen is nice but when The Queen is Dead off with all their regal heads (metaphorically of course). Up with it we will not put. The whole parasitic panoply of royalty will get the unroyal boot. Air miles Andy will have to become an airhead steward. Charles, well lets just say they will all have to find their own level in the free market system and some will clearly fare better than others! Who cares,the whole superstructure will be dismantled. 800 years late I know but revenge is a dish best served Very cold.
A British Republic, what better way to seal our now genuine special relationship with the US -when Trump is a distant and scary memory of course.

Cyclists -We have you in our sights!
When the Capitalist Party comes to power (ahem) all the streets and roads will of course be privatised and their owners will determine the rule of the roads and streets but as an interim process cyclists will have to acquire a license (which of course, again would not exist even for cars in our post mixed economy dispensation) and would have to undergo similar tests to drivers before passing -so most would fail anyway as they are singularly dumb from my unfortunate experience with them - and most other driver's experience I would wager.
No more will we have to endure them as unwelcome travelling partners on the road who when it suits think they can switch to pedestrian mode to doge red lights or to pass on your near side,Or ride the wrong way down one way streets ad nauseam.
In short they are an atavistic Maoist assault on capitalism and the 4 wheeling lifestyle that goes with it, an environmentalist assault on progress, technology and the modern world and for this reason they should be ultimately consigned to the musuems,the Tour de France or Lycra Hell for all I care.

Why Separation of UK Church and State
In order to fully officially recognize and acknowledge that the UK i no longer a Christian country , has long ceased to be one nominally or otherwise and that people have abandoned a century ago at least the largely inherited faith from their forefathers, it is way time to effect a separation of Church and State in this country.
To be finally rid of priestcraft in the UK would be an entirely salutary and healthy thing. Kiddy fiddling child abusing corrupt institutions should no longer have the imprimatur of the State and even the absurd cassocked moral and intellectual pygmy the Arch biship prick of Cant erbury has conceded that disestablishment would not be a bad idea.Never has there been a more rip time to push at this open door and get the thing over and done with.
With the proposed attendant closing down of the House of Lards we would be rid once and for all of the malign influence of the priestly order and their dark and malevolent legacy that casts a shadow over this nation disfiguring and blighting its history,perverting and co opting knowledge for its nefarious and mercenary cunning political ends.
Another reason why disestablishment is so essential for the mental and moral health of the country is that a day of reckoning with Islam cannot be put off indefinitely and it is our very unhealthy sick relationship with Christianity in its official guise of the Cof E which makes it so darn difficult to take a principled stand against the wholly malevolent existential muslim Islamic threat to civilization and specifically to the UK threatening as it undoubtedly does its very survival as a secular liberal country.

Capitalist Manifesto -a work in progress
I will not rehearse the Capitalist Manifesto in any detail at this point as it s so wide ranging and comprehensive in its rejection of the present and long standing political system of government that it will be way too much for the average reader to fully grasp, so alien is it to the current statist quo in all its horrific manifestations throughout the polity and culture so I will just instead make a few basic statements of core principles and premises underlying the policies,highlight the philosophical roots they are derive from and give a general outline of the direction of travel and this I will do in a future post.
I will first however give a thumbnail sketch of a few policies that will be enacted once political power is attained(!) in the following posts just to give a flavour of the post mixed economy paradise that awaits and could be yours for the voting......

70+% of Parliament are Brusselphiles!
With a Quisling parliament that is going to transfer all EU directives and regulations from Brussels to Westminster effectively duplicating the behemoth it is clear Brexit is nothing but a political chimera, a cynical hoax perpetrated on the unwitting public who were naieve enough to believe that parliament would honour their leave vote and carry it through faithfully.
Little did they know what treacherous traitorous vermin were scuttling around Westminster ready to betray their trust with such wanton and flagrant contempt for those they ostensibly serve who keep them in the disgusting manner to which they have become so well accustomed.
This is one more reason why the corrupt two party system needs to be torn asunder and a libertarian ish movement needs to challenge the statist hegemony they represent along with all the other satellite statist parties that seek to replace the old boss with the new boss and spot the difference.
Such a party would be pushing at an open door as almost no one is happy with the present dispensation and it is important to position such a party abovementioned to head off the sheer nastiness of what could be round the corner if some Alt Right party emerged and took the country down the dark road of the past, into fascism which is hapening in too many countries within the EU -something it was set up to expressly to prevent from happening let it not be forgotten. By it's own criteria therfor it should be dismantled so abject is its failure to prevent the remergence of Fascism across Europe.

Capitalist Party Launching This Year
The time has come lady and gentleman to get the Capitalist Party Show on the road. This blog will be the launching pad but we really need to put your money where our mouths are now and get the thing started.
I am looking for very rich donors who share the vision of a a free market,laissez faire capitalist party/movement with a radical programme re crowd funding and all the panoply of patreon,youtube broadcasting yada yada.
The febrile nature of politics with its shifting tectonic wotsits,the whole breakdown and meltdown of tribalist two party politics is looking just as it is: morally and intellectually bankrupt,shoddy,corrupt and hopelessly mired in 20th (or even 19th) century thinking.
In an age of ostensible bespoke individualism the collectivist rackedt of parliamentary democracy is jejune visibly fraying at the seams and is little more than a mafia style protection racket run by third rate politicos with nary a moral bone in their bodies,going through the motions and robbing the nation and its people's of their birthright as freeborn Englishmen with the concept of liberty and individual rights as their inalienable right crushed under the mighty heel of overweening statism and oppressive tax and regulation.
Join us in our fight for freedom. Line up to add a comment showing your support for this noble endeavour!
(I know,it's an invitation to a party no one will attend but I mean to hold it anyway!)
Those who make the world go round should really stop giving their money and moral sanction to political parties who are bleeding them dry and tying them up with the reddest of red tape. It's the Randian sanction of the victims writ large and they should really stop doing it and we could provide them with the opportunity to no longer sign their own death warrant by voting for the blue socialists who go under the monkier of Conservatives.
There is no excuse for the movers and shakers to keep on in this masochistic behaviour knowing as they do from bitter experience that the conservatives are big government spenders who hate and fear capitalism every bit as much as the socialists and who merely pay lip service to it as they mount yet another raid on the tax payers and expand government still further to the inevitable destination of total control.All statist roads lead to totalitarianism,it is only a matter of time. The conservatives will take a little longer to get there but will merely set us up for the socialists to finish the job.
Treason May's party if we are to believe the polls(!) are a mere 4 points behind Crazed commie in all but name Corbyn. We are just 5 percentage points away from tyranny! Why is no one terrified and cataleptic by this sinister prospect? Why is there an eerie silence on this cataclysmic possibility? Has everyone been Bodysnatched?

Is Anti Semitism now a crime?
There is no bigger fan of Israel than moi but this hounding and attempting to silence the expression of of anti semitic sentiments is too much for even me to stomach. It comes under free speech. Lets hear from the anti semites rather than attempt to silence them and push their vile views underground.
Holocaust deniers? Bring it on. It comes under free speech. To jail the latter as they did with the historian Irving was monstrous. Let's debate these people,ridicule,lambaste,satirize them but don't silence them.
The creation of enforced speech codes to protect jewish sensibilities is disastrous,illiberal and every bit as fascistically authoritarian and totalitarian as the people it is attempting to censor.
I condemn attacks on free speech from every quarter,be it left or right. The left happens to be the main offender in our culture today but for the jewish people to play the same game in the name of offence taking is a disastrous act of supreme folly and is no better than the islamafascists who are attempting to do the same thing to 'protect' Izlam from all criticism.
Religions will always seek special protection from criticism but they are the very group most in need of it and to pander to them will only leave religious fundamentalism and authrotiarianism as the ultimate victor.
Holocaust deniers? Bring it on. It comes under free speech. To jail the latter as they did with the historian Irving was monstrous. Let's debate these people,ridicule,lambaste,satirize them but don't silence them.

Criminal Stupidity
To show how stupid criminals are many of them actually convert to Izlam in jail! How dumb is that? Illustrates how they are not the brightest of the species that they would convert to a stoneage religion that has even less to commend it than Christianity which is bad enough.
What attracts them to Izlam is pretty obvious however -it's for losers, a self destructive death cult, it is bound to attract the most ignorant hopeless characters doing nothing with their lives -its essential nihilism -the desire for death corresponds with the nihilism of the average prisoner and it also allows them to carry on their criminal behaviour but with the imprimatur of a world famous religion. They are now on a mission - to do exactly the same thing ie murder and mayhem but they can now do it with a moral sanction and actually feel a sense of virtue and acomplishment as they bomb and behead in the name of Allah - Piss be upon him.
The latest terrorist arrest involves a white muslim convert (in jail) man who used to revere Hitler and it is not much of a change of allegiance at all to go from that to to Izlamizm which is profoundly racist and anti semitic - it's little more than a change of uniform. And you can still hate jews!
Besides, Hitler lost,was badly defeated,Nazizm is universally condemned and hated -but Izlam -it's the future innit? They believe it at least and it's surely our job to disabuse them of that notion but I see scant sign that the West is doing anything whatsoever to do that. In the light of the reaction to Borris's comments it would seem we still want to bend over backwards to pander to Izlam and do the jihadists job of closing down all discussion on the Islam problem and silencing anyone who dares question the vile evil nature of this death cult religion from hell,

Northampton Canaries / Coalmines
Loco councils, 'tory' included, are bankrupt - morally and now financially. Northampton is in dire straits and will not meet its budget without cutting services and surprise surprise as the BBC has been reporting this week the services are child care and elderly social care.There are clearly many other Northamptons -basket case councils up and down this benighted socialised land which will no doubt become apparent down the line.
No one points out that the state has no business whatsoever taxing people to run such services in the first place, which latter should be left to charity. It would not cross anyone's mind to even think such thoughts and therin lies the problem. We take it as a given and to even raise the issue is to transgress into Taboosville where none dare fear to tread. (Hence this blog,gentle reader/s.)
Obviously the whole country is bankrupt with trillions of debt because the state has been welfaring everyone to death and like Venezuela the chikadees are coming home to roast.
A day of reckoning for the overweening state is way way overdue.
Unless we can find a political movement that will dare to speak the unspeakable on this and so many other issues this country will go down the socilaist plughole -with or without Brussel's help.

Vichy Brexit = Civil War?
It seems beyond doubt that May will collaborate with Brussels to keep us in the Union from Hell. (Remaniac scorpions bite, hello) The only question is what happens next.
Farage will return in March and it will get febrile in overdrive. Corbyn will reap the whirlwind,reduce UK to Venezuela With the sun.Then will come theFascist,Nationalist EDL type alt right back lash and probably, civil war.
I was right about Trump, Brexit referendum and May's gen election folly so I rather hope I am very wrong about this but all the portents point to this ghastly outcome.
Reasons? 'Social Media'. The people will not tolerate what before they had little chance to change because of tight media controls and censorship. This has been blown wide open by the internet so governments today are playing with fire if they seek to circumvent the will of the electorate and will bring very hell down on themselves if they try.

What is Socialism
Socialism is middle class people bossing working class people about.
Or
Socialism is secularised christianity.
That's why the BBC loves Thought for the day and religion in general. It is an endless parade of leftists in dog collars or their multicultural equivalents excoriating on a daily basis: Individualism, Selfishness, Egoism and lauding,cooperation, teamwork, non material values.

No Deal Means - No Deal!
At last! The monumental sound of a very large penny dropping: No deal means - EU f*** off, and we're off too.
Even the EU is getting it, warning its 27 vassalaged members to prepare for ND. Granted it is a desperate ploy to put the fear of liberty into the doughty Brits but like all its other desperate gambits it is transparent to all but the most obtuse ie the glassy eyed Remainoids, the body snatched who zombie like go round the country attempting to devour all freeborn Englishmen with their paranoia fantasies of the paradisiacal nirvana of a Brussels hegemony.
The water is warm,the sunny uplands of of a non eu future stretch out before us,a free desovietised people,40 years of occupation ended,40 years of solitude ceasing,what's not to like?
The Cables and Cleggs,Soubries,Mandelson,Campbels, Blairs et al will be but a distant memory as they sail off to board the eu titanic before it disappears under the waves. We shall be free!

EU: Final nail in 'Tory' coffin
Here we go, the danse macabre gathers apace, the Remanaiacs get more hysterical -empty vassals make most noise. This could well be the end of the 'tories' as they make the corn law reform days seem like a May vicarage tea party. Speaking of which we may have a revival of that movement over here in Old Blighted.
Farage waits in the wings ready to re assume the Ukip mantle in March; the latter are riding high in the polls as delinquent as we know them to be notwithstanding.
But just rejoice! The conservatives will soon be no more! They are irideemably rotten to the core and it is sublime and poetic justice that the vile evil EU construct that they engineered us into should be the very instrument that brings about their demise.
And what a time for a new party,not a godamn 'national unity party- as the remainoids are bleating for - we have that already with the existing parties, they are all interchangeable -see how Labour mps came to May's rescue last night. No, we are talking a major phlosophical revolutionary new party that will turn British politics on its head where it needs to be, so screwed up is the polity.
The political air is febrile,feverish,the tecnological Guttenbergian revolution of the internet means the time has never been riper for such an existential axis shift. Carpe diem!

Conclusions from my last post
Following on from my Russian roulette with democracy post what do the now exposed former faux lovers and advocates of democracy as the Holy Grail of politics now want? Isn't it obvious? Technocracy,rule by the self elected elites - That is to say the EU, a project of the elites or pseudo elites to be more accurate as they were never the elite of anything other than illiberalism and their own miss estimation. The political scum rises to the top.
Or more to the point democracy was always illiberal from the start but now the pro democrats find it to be less illiberal than they desire. Sometimes it would come up trumps for them and they could live with it. But it was always immoral. Now they are going for what they desired all along,a liberal authoritarianism. So we see how democracy is just a launching pad,a stepping stone to the true real destination of the political pygmy elites -outright totalitarianism.Tryranny light becomes a hard tyranny.

Playing Russian Roulette with Democracy
Do the ideologically possessed Remaniacs know what they are doing playing fast and loose with democracy or do they just not care as they go hurtling off the cliff in pursuit of their Brussels idee fixe dragging the rest of the country with them?
Are they so naive that they believe they can totally bi pass the democratic Principle,the very mainstay of our freedoms - that at least something they have always loudly espoused as their badge of honour,the very dna of their political being - and expect a free country to carry on as if nothing has happened with the infrastructure of society untouched by such undermining of its very foundations?
Or are we to conclude that the putative defenders of champions of democracy -the liberals of big and little l's were from the very get go contingent supporters of democracy -as long as it was delivering their desired outcomes? The minute the people returned a verdict hostile and inimical to their world vision of social and political norms ie Brexit they threw off their carefully constructed over a century democratic masque to reveal the ugly totalitarian illiberal beast beneath.
Those of us who were leary of the democratic 'ideal' from the start as least do not labour under such a burden of conflicting belief systems -we knew and were fully conv3rsant with the inherent contradicitons of democracy,its limitations and fundamental flaws -we never said it was the best thing since sliced bread -they did and it is the flimsy superficial cynical shallow nature of their committment to the principle that is coming as such an existential shock to all observers of the political fall out from Brexit. That is the devastating takeaway from the present debacle.

Should There be a Revolution Now?
There is a strong case to say the Houses of Parliament should be closed down. 17. whatever % of the people should demand its closure as their democratic vote has been thrown back in their face,their clear unequivocal mandate, the biggest in British electoral history has been held in utmost contempt,ignored and up ended.Parliament now has no legitimacy whatsoever,the people have no obligation whatsoever to continue paying taxes to support the traitorous,parasitic political elite who have stolen their birthright of liberty and sold them into abject bondage to Brussels.They should be swinging from lamp posts not drawing a salary.Its way past time for a reckoning with the governing elite.
