This nonsense ends now…

The world as I know it is on the precipice of ending… the 2024 US election as well as the UK election in 2024 mark the end of the Anglo-American dominance in global politics over the past 200+ years. Britain has gone from Colonial superpower to Soft power superpower, to just plain joke.

The phrase of the month has come to roost. “do not beat a child when they spill whiskey, you beat them when they spill water.” This is what has happened to British Politics, the rot has set in.

When the politicians have affairs and we don’t have them resign immediately, no one thought that the adulterers John Major, John Prescott and Paddy Ashdown were the forerunners of Boris Johnson and his lunacy, but they are. Every time you accept this madness the standards drop a little lower, now we have an adulterer and his whore on the throne, when he should have abdicated on moral grounds, just before he killed his wife…but here we are… preaching “forgiveness” instead of moral rectitude. Remember what you tolerate you pay for… and Lord have mercy are we paying now. “If only we knew…” the thing, is we did know. We all knew that David Cameron was a downgrade from Michael Howard. We all knew that there was something power hungry about Tony Blair that lent itself to a flexible conscience. We all knew George Bush Jr was an idiot. Let’s not gaslight history. I was there. We knew Berlusconi was a pervert and we all found it hilarious until the USA and the UK got their own in the form of Johnson and Trump. We all know Johnson was a lazy adulterous tosser who only cared for destiny. He never loved London, he wanted to be Major so he could get a national profile in politics and therefore be in the cabinet, he was in the cabinet to be prime minister. At no point did he care about a single person other than himself, even his dying wife. And the worst bit is? The worst bit was his most ardent supporters knew this and actually said to us “He’s a bastard, sure, but he’s our bastard and for as long as our interests align he will do nicely for us….” He is after all an election winner… except he wasn’t.

The incompetence and arrogance of David Cameron leaving the day after the Brexit vote with no criminal prosecution for not having a backup plan for if we voted leave. This is unfathomable in a private company. You would be prosecuted for negligence, but anyway it was a forerunner for the Truss and Sunak governments, Zombie Governments of incompetence. The truth is that no one has been running the country since 2015 when David Cameron called that election. Say what you will about the first term of the Tories and their cuts, they actually had intention to run the country. Second term Tories were abominably lazy, allowing the blustering of less than 300 backbenchers force us into a referendum which the public were too ill informed to decide upon. We also then permanently halved the trend rate of growth which we will see the full ramifications in a couple of years, 10 years after the vote we will be able to sit back and count our losses.

Rishi Sunak isn’t the devil, he is not a hateable figure that snatches milk from children, but he is almost an interminable waste of space. To be honest the Tories after Liz Truss should have called an election. They had a moral duty to do so. We have had 3 Prime Ministers in one parliament and if David Cameron hadn’t fixed the job with the fixed term parliament Act 2011 we would have probably had 3 elections that year 2022. Liz Truss, I want everyone to remember was a disaster, but she is of the breed of women who want to be men. Her, Priti Patel (who was regularly accused of bullying) Kemi Badenoch…the latter both not only think they are men… but white middle aged men…My sweet loves, God will humble you soon, you just keep running your “pick me” mouth. If there is one thing I don’t trust…is Black conservatives. It’s a special self hatred that makes you take on the colonisers voice and say its your own, believing in “black exceptionalism” and that you are the exception… Sweetheart, you aren’t exceptional, and they hate you most of all, they have to tolerate you in their spaces… My beloved, if I haven’t been exceedingly clear yet, allow me to clarify…White conservatives whilst loving to hold you up as "black exceptionalism” who tout their nonsense the belief in black exceptionalism means that they believe the majority of black people are hateful immigrants and they hate the fact that you are in their space. They don’t hate me. I am black but not in their face. They hate you, because they have to see your black face every damn day and pretend that it doesn’t make them seethe with rage that you are in their spaces. So once again. They hate you… they hate you most of all of all of us… and they’ll get rid of you first. Just ask Kwasi Kwateng where his nonsense got him.

I digress.

The thing is I have worked with the Liz Truss’ of the world, and the Priti Patels’ and the Kemi Badenoch’s of the world and I can tell you they are the most dangerous. They will do the wildest most illegal stuff in the name of being provocative and “disruptive.” Yes sweetie, we have laws for a reason and no sweetie you can’t disregard them because they don’t suit you. Not without going through the proper channels. And if the proper channels (read Supreme court) say no… please observe rape laws and understand that “no means no” it does not mean cuss out the Supreme court or the laws of this country which your betters passed. Only children don’t understand that you win some and you lose some. Grow up.

But lack of gravitas and leadership quality should not be underestimated.

We all know that standards have gone down since Margaret Thatcher. No one is saying she was a good person or a bad person. But you knew damn well if you woke her at 3am and asked her if she believed in every policy she voted on, know she was well versed, and she actually believed 100% in the policies she was espousing and she believed it would genuinely would benefit the country. She wasn’t vindictive, she wasn’t cruel, she may have done some cold things that put thousands of people on unemployment and destroyed communities but she sure as hell believed that shit. Rishi Sunak is a political atheist which is fine if we were in an Oxford debate club, but we’re not. We’re running the 4th biggest economy in the world and its time to stop playing and let the political big guns do some damn work.

If we’re gonna have Tories, fine, Kenneth Clark step up my man time to be Foreign Secretary. Lord Howard. Time to shine my G Prime Minister for you. Ian Duncan Smith? Time to run the NHS. These are men who actually believed in something. Actual Tory values. We can debate whether Tory values are a good thing or not but these are unfortunately the last 3 men of substance in the front bench. Men who are 83, 82, and 69 and whose main failing was the failure to truly succession plan with men of integrity. We don’t need people who win elections running the country, we need people who are able to run the country running the country. Boris Johnson is a sad proof that those 2 qualities aren’t the same. What makes for a powerful campaigner, a restless energy… makes for a prime minister who has the attention span of a toddler who missed vital meetings and attended more piss ups than a first year university student. No we need men of principal who can run a country. David Cameron could run neither a country nor a party, but he was young and photogenic and of child bearing age and that became the standard to undercut “babyface Blair” not “will this guy run the country to the ground?” and after a few moments of political genius (the rose garden and that ridiculous referendum on AV) he got cocky and flushed the economy down the toilet.

The issue is that the Tories enjoy self harm, which is why political creatures/Kretins such as Michael Gove (Est tu Brutae?) exist. Honestly? He should have been expelled from the party after he pulled that stunt with Boris Johnson when Theresa May won the leadership race. There is nothing worse in this world than rats and he is one of them, Boris too should have been expelled from the party for constantly trying to undermine Theresa May, who whilst may not have been God’s gift to personality was trying to health the party and the country after “Boris Bottled it.” Her only crime is being a woman. No way would they pull that nonsense on a man.

Liz Truss, David Cameron and Boris Johnson must be charged with treason/gross negligence. Because of how they handled the economy/public health. Liz Truss blew £65 Billion in 6 weeks (remember for about half of that we were in mourning because the Queen died so it was more like 3 weeks.)

David Cameron failed to do basic due diligence and have a robust plan B for the country in case his needless meddling produced rotten fruit.

Boris Johnson. Missed 5 COBRA meetings which it wasn’t just his job to attend, but to CHAIR. Name one other profession you can miss 5 meetings that you are meant to chair and not get fired? Please explain… because in my profession you wouldn’t get to 3….

The point is that these people get paid circa £140,000 and they do things that would get someone fired on not even 1/3 of that kind of salary.

The point of the matter is we need to start paying MP’s national average wages. We aren’t getting our money’s worth with them on £80k so we may as well have them on £30k and save the £50k plus expenses (we’re putting them in the prison barges we put the refugees seeing as they’re so humane.) so we may as well save money. We’d get the same level of discourse. PMQ’s have turned into a dogfight. We’d get the same level of laws… our secondary legislation is the bulk of our legislation anyway and that’s made up by legit specialists.

Next we get to Labour. Same poison. Keir Starmer doesn’t actually care about the country. He is just here because it’s “his turn” its Labour’s turn to make the country worse. Not one new idea between the entire 650 of them. The green bank? Halved. Gaza? (God will find you, Palestinians bleed too)

Now we go to the USA.

Please God, stop this nonsense. In the UK I have been advocating for Octogenarians to run the country... In America I have legit been waiting for them to announce that this whole thing has been a joke… They can’t be serious in thinking either one of Trump or Biden should be allowed to run for president? Both are facing impeachment. Biden for document handling and Trump for fraud and we’re tired. Obama was a great orator and did get Obamacare through, however his foreign policy was hot and cold at best. Hilary wanted to be the first woman president, there is no grandees like Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice anymore. We just have a vacuum where western leadership should be. And China is filling it. The EU is filling it. NATO is doing nish because 2 of their big boys are sat squabbling on who can press the self destruct button first (USA and UK) They don’t have a John Kerry or a John McCain. People who if you agreed or disagreed with you respected. They, just like us don’t have that. The French, Canadians, Australians, Germans and Italians have leaders who whilst aren’t wildly popular either home or abroad, they are at least first amongst equals. We have either really good leadership or spectacularly poor leadership. Rishi Sunak strikes me as the awkward kid who will never be accepted by the G7 (not even because he’s Asian, mainly because he’s a lame duck prime minister, who they know that the economic policies of this placeholder will likely be overturned in the next parliament) No one takes this guy seriously and whilst he isn’t the atomic bomb of a disaster of his two immediate predecessors. Be careful about saying “it can’t get worse than this…” because British Prime Ministers have proven, beyond all reasonable doubt… that it can… it can get a lot worse…

The West is crumbling and it is the Arabs, the Chinese and the BRIC’s that are making the hay… this nonsense will not just bite us in the immediate term, but for decades to come. History will mark this as the lost decade and until we lose our love for Attention deficit leaders, and leaders who have flexible consciences we will continue to suffer from the perils that come with philanderers and adulterers in the halls of power. Also, I can’t believe I have to say this USA, but if you are too old to be prosecuted for a crime on grounds of mental capacity, you are too old to make the laws in a country. And also if you are found guilty of a crime, then you should be barred from office… Hint…hint, a $454m fine is a lot and means you did something particularly naughty... Until Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak we didn’t even worry about that, but look how far we’ve descended they were the first 2 prime ministers we’ve ever had convicted of a crime (COVID rules) and look where that got us… a COVID enquiry where Johnson lied to our faces… and continues to do so now that the worst has happened (to him)

I’m sick of weird and woeful leadership we need a general election now with entirely new leaders, Labour, Tories, Republican, Democrat we need to stand together with our American brothers and sisters and demand better from our leaders. After all… the world is turning… with or without us.

Do better.

Grace and Courage.
