“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it wrongly and applying the wrong remedy”.  Ernest Benn

 

 

I’m Revolting!

 

I am absolutely p***** off with professional politicians, most of whom have never done a productive days work in their lives, making a mess of this country.

 

The current government have, during their term of office, introduced over 3,000 new laws designed to criminalise the ordinary citizen. At the same time they have almost totally destroyed the fabric of our way of life by destroying the institutions that have stood us in good stead for over a thousand years.

 

Political Correctness has become the guiding factor, not only in central government, but even more so through the various local authorities. PC should really be described as the corruption of common sense.

 

Are the worms finally starting to turn?

 

40,000 people finally got off of their backsides and complained to the BBC over the Brand/Ross affair.

 

Why stop at this comparatively trivial incident, offensive as it undoubtably was?

 

The reaction certainly stirred things up at the BBC, the vast corporation that swallows £3.2 billion a year of public

money – a tax in everything but name.

 

I quote below part of an article by Richard LITTLEJOHN in the Daily Mail.

 

“If all those people who have complained to the BBC this week did the same to their local MP, to their Town Hall, to Gordon Brown, we might just be in with a fighting chance of changing something.

 

Why – to take just one example from this week’s news – should we pay taxes to fund the wages of ‘experts’ who visit schools trying to force children to stand on chairs and pledge not to be nasty to ‘travellers’?

 

Why should we finance a vast elf’n’safety industry dedicated to interfering in every nook and cranny of our lives, to finding out what we like to do and then devising ways to stop us?

 

Why should we pay six -figure salaries to po-faced puritans who spend their lives dreaming up new ways to fine and punish us for trivial invented ‘crimes’?

 

Why should we put up with being charged billions for a National Health Service run entirely for the benefit of the people who work in it, while the rest of us can wait weeks for a doctor’s appointment and have to pay again, privately, to see a dentist?

 

Why should we pay for a police ‘service’ which spends most of its time playing politics and persecuting motorists, while failing to protect our property or patrol the streets?

 

Let this revulsion at the excesses of the BBC be the start of a popular revolution against an arrogant and largely unaccountable elite and their contempt for the paying public.

 

It’s taken a seemingly minor incident to focus our attention on the way not just the BBC, but the whole of Britain is run.

 

This was the week decent people stood up and cried, like Peter Finch in the movie Network: ‘We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it any more’.

 

We don’t have to take it lying down. This has been a stunning victory for common decency over the self-appointed, self-obsessed metropolitan narcissists who control so much of our public life.”

 

I’ve been saying this for years. Could this be the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.

 

Did you see the report of the civil servant who fell asleep on a train leaving his laptop computer live for other passengers to view? On it was an e-mail from a mandarin to the said civil servant pointing out that he had only spent £1,000 of his £10,000 budget and that he had another £12,000 coming. It went on to suggest he used the money on outside consultants. The public sector in microcosm!

 

I’m revolting! Why the hell aren’t you?

 

The above page links will take you to many of the topics that drive me nuts, if you agree then for heavens sake stand up and be counted. It’s time to de-Ross the whole of our public sector!

 

Haringey Council and Baby P.

 

Sharon Shoesmith, Head of Children’s Services at Haringey is down to give a talk at a conference in January.

 

The title:

 

Breaking Down Silos: Inspiring Ownership And Sharing Responsibility For Measuring Impacts And Outcomes Across Partnerships.

 

No doubt this gobbledegook explains the perfect paper trail between said partnerships in the neglect of poor Baby P.

 

Perhaps the impacts she refers to were the blows from his so called guardians that led to his death.

One thing is certain, as long as the public sector continues to focus on reaching their own targets (i.e. ticking the right boxes) whilst paying themselves bonuses for achieving them, the service they provide to taxpayers will continue to decline.

 

As I say elsewhere, kill off the political correctness and restore common sense.
