Too much spin put it in the bin.

Over the years I've become more and more distrustful of anything that is said in the media. I've got to the point now where I believe virtually nothing that I read in the news. After all how do we really know anything we read is true. Unless I witness an event myself I will distrust what is written about an event. I believe that some stories are true but I can't distinguish between what are scare tactics and propaganda and what isn't so the best policy is to believe nothing and trust no one. This kind of attitude is really no hope for anyone. But that's what happens in a climate of terror created by our very own politicians and media. Knowing that petty bullies have the power to spy on and harass it's citizens on a whim.

Considering how publicised in the media the RIPA is. I was surprised to hear a council worker saying they never heard of this RIPA order when I phoned them to find out if I had had one on me. I thought that I may have been investigated as I have been harassed and followed by a group of people who I don't know over the last two years. If it is part of some civilian spy program or harass antisocial people in the community as Jacki Smith suggested doing, then I neither guilty of any crimes, and I'm not antisocial. I find it strange that I should be a victim of some new social movement believing it's doing something good for society. It verges on George Orwell's vision in 1984, only smothering people with the right thing to do. How does anyone know what the right thing to do is? The right thing for one person is not the right thing for another. It's not like any of our leaders are excelling in their professions and doing a great job for the country, so how the hell do they know what is right for anyone living in it?

Labour have got to be the worst, most incompetent bunch of idiots I have ever known. I'm certain it's one of their groups of workers doing this. They are wasting even more of taxpayers money on some kind of social engineering experiment. I sound like I'm getting into some conspiracy theory territory now. That definitely means it can't possibly be true. It's not in the realms of physical possibility that people could follow me around and threaten me. But I'm getting some of this kind of reaction when I tell people. I could understand people not taking me seriously if I said Satanist aliens abducted my cat and shaved his head and tattooed strange symbols on his anus. I even have evidence of their activities, so it can't possibly be true. I am actually rather amused at the strange lengths these people have gone to. I was only joking about the Labour conspiracy bit. Whoever is doing this to me must have alot more to fear than me or why would they bother. Human behaviour is a very curious thing. I've never seen monkeys leaving the comfort of their family to pursue a task that brings them more bits of paper than they could possibly need. Monkeys don't blog either.

The Labour Religion

One thing I've noticed about Labour is they operate much like a religion. They preach to us like religious nutters do, saying we must give up smoking, drink less, eat 5 fruit and veg a day, and the new one is this change 4 life campaign. They let councils spy on us, they take away as many rights as they can get away with in the guise of combating terrorists. Well we had far more incidents of terrorism under the conservatives by the IRA, and they didn't bring in all these laws.

To me it's exactly the same way organised religion operates. Religion has the threat of hell and the devil. Labour has the threat of terrorists, which I know is actually more real than hell or the devil, but they are using it as a means to scare people and take away our freedom. I think that the terrorists have already won because the governments actions have caused a climate of terror and oppression in this country. I know this as my family and I were harassed for a short time, as people were abusing powers they had been given.

Religion preaches morals and the right way to live. Labour also like to tell us how we should live and are taking away our freedom of choice to eat want we want, smoke where we like, and watch what we want. Most of the top Labour politicians are religious, so it's no wonder they run their party like one.

Ideally I would love all politicians to be atheists, I can't see how having a religious belief is any advantage to running a country. Especially a country where most people are probably atheists or just not bothered.

Benefit reforms-What a brilliant idea! - Is it?

Being on Incapacity benefit myself, I thought I had to make a comment on the new proposals apparently put forward on the advice Mr Freud, someone who knows all about the benefit system having been on benefits himself (benefits of not having to ever live in areas with scum like me and having a place at Oxford, oh I meant privilege).

While we are at it, maybe we should bring back work houses for the poor, the death penalty, witch hunts and only an eduction if you can afford one (considering the amount of illiterate people, the education system is already set up for the rich to learn and the poor to have a daycare centre)

I was wandering how they were going create 1 million jobs when unemployment was rising at the moment, then I had a brilliant idea to kill 2 birds with one stone. Firstly legalise prostitution, then you create a whole job market for all these illiterate single Mothers. Then legalise drugs give all the dealers offices and a great name like The Department of Recreational Substances, and create another whole new job market using skills they already have, then that will eliminate the need to spend money on training. That's innovation for you, it may be a radical idea, but as labour keep telling us we need radical ideas, or ones borrowed (stolen) from the Americans.

And lastly all those on incapacity benefit who are definitely work ready, that's why they've been deemed as unfit for work and are being given "Incapacity benefit" and have apparently been assessed by there own GP's who they have bribed them into writing them 10 year sick notes. (I went for medical assessment run by DWP own Dr's for assessment 3 times now). Even though some of them can barley walk and look after them self they feel that getting them back into work will do them the world of good. I'm sure their work colleagues will love getting their paperwork brought to them with dribble all over it, and each day on the underground they will have to make space for 100's of wheelchairs.
Then there are the people with mental problems, the depressed will inevitably slow down the whole work force, it doesn't matter they'll pay the employers £62000 for each one of these workers, then you could have them stand in the corner as a coat rack. Then there are the OCD's, who will go to the toilet 100 times a time a day. The anxious, panicky and paranoid people who will start rocking back and forth in the corner and and accuse everyone of plotting against them.
And the rest are lazy bastards having a free ride apparently, so they can put them in dangerous jobs to cut the population.

Well I for one can't wait to see what great new schemes and jobs they come up with, it just seems like a great big plot to help line already well off people's pocket with more money and give them a slave labour force (are they competing with China in creating a all new British style sweat shop?) And when one of us actually tries to work our way up to good job, we get told we are not wanted and are scum.

My partner left school hardly being able to read and write, which was the failure of the education system, since learned to read and write properly himself, then went to college and did an access to university course in English and got A grades, went to the University and told we don't want your sort here. So I can't see how there are really going to better anyone, if someone who actually works to get somewhere can't.

The people who suggest they are fighting prejudice, I've found are the most prejudice people I have come across, as in they are prejudice against so called chavs by not letting them into their precious elitist unis.

What's so bad about being Self-serving?

I hear lots of people criticize the Tories as being self-serving. So I ask myself what does this mean? Apparently it means doing something only to benefit one's self. Well most people do to some extent.
Many people do a good deed for something in return, or just to boost their own egos. I don't see masses of people helping the homeless, or even looking after their elderly relatives they pay others to do it, who only do it for the money.
Not that I'm religious but it does say in the bible God helps those who help them self. If you're not helping yourself then you are either a burden or burdening society.
I know some people are beyond the ability of helping themselves and plenty of people are paid to help them (and do a bad job) and there are a good number of volunteers too, but have you seen how much the volunteer section are crying out for volunteers? Nothing motivates people more than money, after all no one can live for free, even volunteers will be getting money from the benefits system, and if they didn't, they would have to give up the volunteering to get paid work, or at least for the time the need to work to make money to live. Hence Thatcher saying the good Samaritan was a rich Samaritan.
I would rather have politician who is self-serving running the country that one who is burdening the country. A politician that is self-serving isn't likely to fuck up the country because it's not in their best interests to do that.
I don't need people who know nothing about me thinking they know what's best for me. Apparently they are thinking of others when they organise all these work (house) schemes for us on benefits, but we haven't really got much in the choice of work, it's Labour's make a job in the ministry of daydreams, move that rock over there to here and we'll pay you for it. At least under the Tories you could choose what job you wanted and had a fair chance of working your way up, and making money. It's seems you can only get good jobs if you're a gay crippled midget, or a middle class woman (they are the easiest to brainwash).

Life was better under the Tories

I have to admit when I was younger, I jumped on the bandwagon of not liking the Tories and not really knowing why. But then again I've never thought much of Labour either. I was too young to vote when labour took over, but I was optimistic that things would be better under Labour, I was wrong.
Since labour has been in power, there has been a erosion of our civil liberties, there was more social mobility under the Tories. Living under labour is like a teacher breathing down my neck and telling me what to do. Their policy is people are thick morons, zombies and we've got a get them in the head. But the brainwashing doesn't work, people showed what they really thought of the government in the last local election.
I never used to be interested in politics under the Tories, because I was content, but it's taken a bad government to do it, I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. The more people's toes they tread on the more opposition they are going to face, and if they are annoying thickos like me they are definitely doomed.
In the words of Father Ted 'It's funny how you get more right wing as you get older', well unless you're one of those loony lefts. To be honest I'm in the middle, but I'm supporting Conservatives for a moderate society.
