It is interesting to watch the psychology and thinking of the new labour government. It is clear they consider the elderly to be expendable as many don’t vote labour and some will have died by the time of the next General Election. As they freeze during the winter months with winter fuel allowance removed from around 10million pensioners, no doubt this will hastening their mortality, perhaps this is what labour is hoping for.
Angela Rayner really is the new John Prescott, not just in the way she struggles with her vocabulary, but with her plans to concrete over as much of the green belt, particularly in the Southeast, as she can get away with. Yes, the housing stock needs expanding but not at any cost. Destroying the countryside, reducing the acreage of productive agricultural land, obliterating existing homeowners’ views, and overextending local infrastructure is not the ideal way forward.
The Chancellor always was hell bent on raising taxes despite her countless denials during the election. But now as she repeatedly blames the previous government for ‘labour inheriting the weakest economy since the second World War’, a view hotly disputed by Andrew Bailey the Governor of the Bank of England, including the mythical £22billion black hole she has clearly invented, if not created. Mrs Reeves plans to squeeze taxes out of those who can ill afford to pay. Her plan is to bolster Labour’s chances of winning the next GE by handing out to public sector workers inflation busting pay rises of up to 6 per cent, costing the taxpayer an extra £10 billion, as demanded by their union mates to keep them on side.
Schools in the independent sector now face having to charge 20% Vat on fees which will result in many closing, particularly those which currently support children with special needs and families who sacrifice much to send their children to these schools. State schools which are already bursting at the seams will either turn away these children or increase class sizes to unacceptable levels. Some pupils will cope but many will struggle in this environment and fall back in learning and confidence.
Instead of raising the standard of education it will most likely be reduced to the lowest possible common denominator. The chances for children to aspire to reach their potential and goals, will be reduced, but along the way they will be brainwashed into believing not one of them should try to do better than their peers; mediocre will be their direction of travel.
So, houses will spring up inappropriately despite objections from the locals. Rich agricultural land will be covered in solar panels and on shore wind farms, but despite this the lights will undoubtedly go out. The plans for going ‘all electric, Net Zero’ through renewable energy is never going to work. Check out all the cars parked at airports, factories, and other multi car parking facilities; and think about what will happen when all these vehicles and everything else go all electric, do we really think the electricity grid will cope?
A friend recently tried to get a doctor’s appointment as he urgently needed a prescription for specialist pain relief; the level of pain he was experiencing untouched by over-the-counter medication. The pain was preventing him from functioning normally as a working farmer and deprived him of sleep most nights. It was imperative that he keep active, and mentally alert at this particularly busy time of year.
On visiting the doctor’s surgery early one morning in the hope of getting an appointment that day, he was told that the first available appointment was a telephone call with a GP in mid-August. The receptionist suggested he could telephone before 8am any morning when he could pick up an appointment that day. When he pointed out that it was exactly 7.55am so what about an appointment, the receptionist laughed and said, “So it is, but this week we have several doctors on holiday, sorry.”
My friend then asked if she thought it acceptable for him to wait two and a half weeks to speak to a GP regarding pain relief which was so severe that he was at times in danger of blowing his brains out, particular at night. The receptionist replied, “There is nothing I can do, let’s hope not”.
So, is this the direction primary care is heading? As GPs decide to reduce the number of patients they will see each day, and already never make house visits and don’t work at weekends, what about the patients? As most patients cope with all the above and never see the same doctor twice, is it surprising that the health of the nation is deteriorating?
Oxford University is about to elect a new Chancellor. Those on the list, including William Hague and Peter Mandelson, look tame to me. I would suggest that Oxford needs someone with a fire in their belly. common sense, is willing to stand up to the liberal, left-wing wok brigade which has taken control of so many of our universities. I would propose JK Rowling who is not on the list but should be, as the one to choose. She would shake up Oxford and ensure undergraduates emerge as normal human beings prepared to take responsibility for their actions, work hard, defend their country, and set a good example to those following in their footsteps.
As towns and cities are trashed and descend into violent thuggery with many police forces being overwhelmed by these multiple violent gangs’ hell bent upon causing havoc and as much damage as possible, I ask where are the water cannon so wisely purchased by Boris Johnson and foolishly sold at a huge discount by the hapless Theresa May?
If these criminals knew they would face these vehicles one would hope they may decide to stay at home. However, one thought does persist; if those boarding dodgy inflatables to cross the channel were informed that they would not be welcomed with open arms as has been the case to date, but they were in danger of being firebombed, perhaps killed or assaulted by angry thugs, would they be so keen to get on board but think twice before setting off for our shores? Is the government thinking about this?
