Don't You Just Wish Google And The Rest Of The PC Crowd Would F*ck Off?

As a care worker I'm not on holiday. In fact, it's likely to be a very busy time for me. But I will make time to attend a Christmas church service and pull a Christmas cracker.

But the above and other ridiculous motifs, with a "happy holidays from Google" tag, are what the slimiest, most politically correct, patronising and thought controlling search engine in the world are marking Christmas with.

The vast majority of people will be celebrating Christmas. But it's not good for us to have that fact recognised.

Christ, I hate Google!

Hasten the day when we see an end to these idiots trying to submerge our culture and control our lives in the name of "inclusiveness". I note it's not ethnic minority groups carrying out the vanquishing of Christmas - it's the usual smug, superior and arrogant arseholes who consider themselves above the common herd, above following tradition or endorsing any particular religion.

Rant over.

Gordon Brown - No "English Question"

Gordon Brown is at it again, sneaking in and signing the EU Treaty without the promised referendum (not the same document at all? The Waendal Journal lists insiders' opinions here) and rejecting calls for an English Parliament, making out that we all value the Union far more!

Gareth has this.

When will the politicians start listening? Do we need a return to 1980s style street riots before anybody takes notice? God forbid - but even our modern day fragmented, shallow and consumerist electorate will only take so much.

The Break Up Of England

When the North East of England voted 78% NO to regionalisation, we thought that was it. The end of the regionalisation project. This was the only area allowed a referendum and the electorate had spoken. Silly us! The wishes of the people count for nought and regionalisation continues apace. It suits the anti-English Union Government, headed by Gordon Brown, to dismember our country (we didn't vote for him) and it suits the EU (we didn't vote for that, either).

So we now have Yorkshire, Europe. Actually that's not really the old county of Yorkshire - it's "Yorkshire and Humber", an EU/NuLab region. Not UK. Not England. A tinpot region to be ruled from on high in Brussels.

David Cameron

David Cameron in Edinburgh yesterday: "This is where I stand, here in this great and beautiful capital, an English politician in a Scottish city saying clearly today and for all time that Britain comes first."

Ooh, strangely bursting with pride about Edinburgh this "English politician", isn't he? One would almost think he was Scottish. Perhaps that's because he is. Scottishness is a state of mind, like Englishness or Welshness, and Cameron, who brags about ancestors who were "Scottish Empire builders" "conquering all sorts of parts of India" and "Scottish blood" (there's no such thing) in his veins, is clearly not English.

And so, in his speech in Edinburgh yesterday, Mr Cameron underlined his plans for the English under his government:

1) England can NOT expect an end to health apartheid if it threatens the Union. Just go on dieing or going blind or suffering with your cancers, dears.

2) England can NOT expect an end to the Barnett Formula if it threatens the Union - just go on forking out and getting crumbs in return, dears.

3) England can NOT expect an end to the West Lothian Question if it threatens the Union - just go on accepting dictates, dears.

And then Mr Cameron tried to crawl up the backsides of the Welsh - claiming a Welshman designed the NHS - (the English had nothing to do with the concept, did they, dears?) and ignoring the fact that the NHS no longer exists. Health apartheid is rampant. The "NHS" in England is NOT the same NHS as in Scotland or the same NHS as in Wales!!

David Cameron does not give a damn about England. He doesn't care if you die in England for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland, or scrimp and save for vital prescriptions free to millionaires in Wales. He does not speak for you. I cannot help wondering if the guy is suffering from some sort of mental illness, so blinkered and jaundiced is his view, so uncaring, insensitive and basically racist is his outlook.

But he can't be as mad as the Conservative Party. Is the gravy train so comfortable that its MPs never want the bother of governing again? What on earth are they playing at, letting David Cameron lead them?

Supporting People

A letter received today:

I work for a housing association as a mental health support worker and I can tell you it stinks.

The association was established in the late 1960s, and for years provided general purpose and special needs housing. In recent years, the majority of the mental health projects have been de-registered. Their vulnerable tenants were promised higher staffing levels and better overall financing, but under the auspices of an odious government organisation called "Supporting People", services have actually been slashed, staffing drastically reduced (some homes which previously had 24-hour cover now leave vulnerable tenants alone overnight, with various medications sought after by drug dealers on the premises) and staff are dismissed instantly if they share their concerns outside the organisation. Concerns shared WITHIN the organisation are dismissed with glib comments such as "you must adapt".

These housing associations now compete against each other for tenders under New Labour legislation and services come as a poor second. Many organisations are now reduced to a level of service which is grave cause for concern, but with staff gagged, a lot of what is happening is shielded from the public gaze.

Read Between The Lines: David Cameron hates England.

Here's David Cameron in the Daily Telegraph today speaking about his family background: "My father's side of the family by being Camerons are predominantly Scottish. On my mother's side of the family, her mother was a Llewellyn, so Welsh. I'm a real mixture of Scottish, Welsh and English. Her grandmother's side were Scottish Empire builders - conquered all sorts of parts of India, I think."

WHAT?! "SCOTTISH Empire builders"?! I thought we were all supposed to be BRITISH?! Mr Cameron certainly reveals his true Little Scotlander motivation here.

Mr Cameron seems to think that his mixed family background is a good reason why we should all be British. And perhaps why England should not have a parliament. But surely people in Scotland have mixed roots? And yet they have a parliament. And they call themselves Scots.

Mr Cameron again: "I would rather have an imperfect Union rather than some perfect constitutional construct that would threaten the Union." Roughly translated, this means that discrimination against the English is fine, so long as the Union is preserved. The well-being and fair representation of the electorate in England is NOT the priority.

On the funding issue he admitted: "Increasingly it looks unfair and increasingly people are questioning it. I say to English audiences of course the time will come when we have to look at it, but do not believe that there's some pot of gold here. It's not those perfidious Scots taking all our money.

"If you replace Barnett with a needs-based formula then Scotland will still get a large amount of money. Don't treat it as a big grievance."

I'm afraid a government dominated by Scots IS looking after Scotland at the expense of England. It IS a big grievance.

Cameron: "Point one, an imperfect Union is better than anything that threatens it. The Union always comes first. Point two, I always say to my party yes of course there are things that can upset you - like different spending levels, but remember, the Union comes first and don't blame the Union, blame the government. Third, I want to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom not England."

This last comment is an unacceptable thing to say. It's almost offensive. Will you award England its own parliament with it's own First Minister, then, Mr Cameron? Because that is what's required if the Union is to continue. And just WHY is the Union so essential?

Here's a quote from the article:

The question of money is what can cause most anger, with Scotland getting a higher share of public spending per head than England (although regions in the North of England do get higher spending than Scotland.)

Wrong. "Regions" in the North of England have far larger populations than Scotland's, but proportionally spending is much lower. England does not benefit from the Barnett Formula. It is not apportioned on a "regional basis" but to the "nations" of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the inference clearly being that England is not a nation. This paragraph of the Telegraph article is either lousy research or a downright lie.

Cameron - regarding the West Lothian Question: "It is something I would like to sort out. It would help add to constitutional stability and it needs to be done in a careful way. We haven't decided what path to go down but the Rifkind plan does not create two classes of MP. It is no good saying that the answer to the West Lothian Question is to stop asking it. We will be putting forward a plan for dealing with this issue."

It is amazing that Malcolm Rifkind is also a Scot, is it not? On an island of some sixty million souls, only five million of them Scots, that Mr Cameron selects a fellow Scot to deal with his party's approach to the English Question? How British you are, Mr Cameron!

Back to Cameron: "Think of 1940, Britain standing alone to defeat Hitler. Think of the proportion of the Armed Forces that were made up of Scots, Welsh and Irish." So what? That has nothing to do with modern day devolution issues.

Mr Cameron says of the West Lothian Question that it is "not one of his top five issues" - illustrating again how out of sympathy and out of touch with the electorate in England he is. Remember, this is the man who called those of us demanding parity with Scotland "sour Little Englanders", the man who went to Glasgow and slagged the English off, whilst making bizarre statements about the greatness of Scots.

My advice to the Tories is ditch him. David Cameron is an anti-English Little Scotlander who is hiding his motives behind "Britishness" just as much as Gordon Brown is.

He won't get you elected and will simply cause further rifts in your beloved Union with his ridiculous, barely concealed anti-English nonsense.

"Solve Everything - Dissolve England Into Regions!"

I’ve never understood the “regions instead of an English parliament” argument.

For a start, regions would not solve the West Lothian Question, Barnett Formula, non-representative MPs problem. And whilst those who argue for regions profess to be liberals, terrified of an “over centralised” state, it is far more “over centralised” and indeed downright undemocratic for the UK Government to foist regions onto the electorate in England.

First, England needs its own, totally representative, national parliament. Then we work out the nuts and bolts of internal governance in England.

As for the EU angle, I’m all for integration and interaction with the rest of our tiny planet, but I don’t approve of the way the EU is going - it is undemocratic.

And surely everything being controlled from Brussels is rather more over-centralised than England having its own domestic parliament?
