Time to send in the clowns!
IF POLITICS is a circus, then this week has been Billy Smart’s on steroids. Talk about farce – we had cretinous student protesters in London screaming “No borders, no nations”, as a group of migrants were being taken by coach from their London Hotel (paid for by you and me) to the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset. Home Secretary James Cleverly insisted: “The bus mob won’t make us U-turn”, but it did exactly that because the police did nothing, the mob got bigger and proceeded to slash the coach’s tyres so it went nowhere.
We had the Irish government which, during Brexit negotiations, and egged on by the petulant EU, tried to stuff it up Britain by insisting on a border – a border that allowed hundreds of migrants to stream into Dublin and set up a tent city on the capital’s busy streets. The Irish then ludicrously insisted we take back the migrants, even though it had passed a law saying that, thanks to the Rwanda scheme, the UK was no longer a safe place for migrants. But all that faux concern soon evaporated when those migrants impacted on THEIR country, THEIR finances, THEIR people. Now the Irish government has more than 100 police officers on its border stopping the migrants they claimed to care so much about from getting in. Also, the minute the realities of their open border hit home, they were begging the UK to relieve them of the burden THEY’D created.
Then we had a bunch of civil servants suing the Government claiming they’d be breaching international law if they complied with the Rwanda act. What tosh! Anyone with half a brain could see this for exactly what it was – a wrecking tactic by a group of jumped-up government employees who’ve been allowed to believe they can control policy and scrap the ones that offend their liberal sensitivities.
Then Keir Starmer did HIS bit to ensure the boats will keep coming by promising that, when he gets into power, he’ll pass a law that will let every illegal arriving here – even economic migrants – apply for asylum. In effect, he put out a worldwide advert to the poor in Africa, Vietnam, Iran and Iraq telling them to come to soft-touch Britain for a better life which the British people will be paying for. So, now just watch the numbers rocket. And just watch how many more die in the Channel, courtesy of Starmer’s irresponsibility.
But the icing on this week’s toxic cake was the local elections, which saw the Tories take their worst battering in 30 years and re-ignited the talk of replacing Rishi – who finally seems to have found his cojones – with Mogadon Mordaunt, a woman who’s done nothing and achieved nothing, other than carry a ceremonial sword at the King’s investiture.
What’s wrong with people? They know what Labour’s going to do – yet they vote for them anyway. It’s like we’re wilfully sleepwalking into disaster. We have a Civil Service that thinks it’s running the country, police chiefs who ignore government directives and who are currently doing sod-all while antisemitism explodes on our streets courtesy of pro-Palestinian mobs. Meanwhile, 711 people arrived here on 14 boats on Wednesday – the biggest number in a single day of the year so far – and those figures will continue to rocket throughout the summer. Maybe the Tories don’t deserve to be re-elected, but the British people sure as hell don’t deserve the carnage that’s coming under Labour.
IF the Tories really believe the vanilla, ineffectual, underachieving Penny Mordaunt is the person to save the Party, they damn well deserve to lose the election.
