Whatever the impressions of the international audience on the 2015 UK general election this was perhaps quite a neat result for the future of the UK given the possibilities. The Conservative party back in power but with a slim majority is a better result than having the Lib Dems in coalition and preventing the Conservatives from doing slightly more conservative things.

However if you think that this government is a truly Conservative government then think again. There are conservatives in Mr Cameron’s government but it has essentially become another ‘modernising progressive’ force in British politics subject to the same worldview possessed by the Labour and Liberal  Democrat parties. If you are not familiar with the last five years, Mr Cameron embarked on a modernising strategy to take the Conservative party in his eyes into the twenty first century by introducing gay marriage and embedding equality legislation brought in by Harriet Harman, one of the high priestesses of the 1997 to 2010 New Labour project. He has continued the project and his attitude is ‘get with the programme,’ with all its concomitant ghastly political correctness. At the same time and to be positive the Conservatives are business friendly and prefer a lower tax regime and a smaller state, so in effect they are economically conservative and socially liberal. He does not quite appear that euro sceptic and has presided over continuing astronomical levels of immigration into this country. Meanwhile the attitude of his previous coalition government to militant Islam has been pusillanimous to say the least. The one redeeming feature of the new political map is that the leftist tendencies of the Liberal  Democrats will not be there any more to hold him back from what some of the more robust of his backbenchers want him to do.

Many decent and principled British people would have opted for Cameron rather than UKIP for one reason and one reason alone. To prevent Ed Milliband of the Labour Party from inflicting more radical socialism on these islands and consequently bankrupting the country in the meantime, but in addition to prevent Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish Nationalists with its statist tendencies from holding the country to ransom through undue influence on the Labour Party.

The Lib Dems have been virtually wiped out and left with a rump of eight MPs who you could squeeze into a telephone box for their next national conference. Perhaps this is the price they have paid for being in coalition with the Conservatives for the last five years. So many of their former supporters could not stomach it and moved to the Labour Party or even one of the other newer parties. Also their obsession with being wedded to the EU and consequent rather blasé attitude on mass immigration may have lost them votes. Again the unpalatable option of a London centric Labour government and the spectre of the SNP was too much for them, and former Liberal Democrat strongholds for example in the south west of England went over to the Conservatives.

UKIP have performed impressively despite only getting one seat and thereby highlighting the anomalies of the British electoral system. They gained nearly four million votes, more than the SNP and Liberal Democrats put together, but where the SNP got 56 seats out of one and a half million votes, UKIP get one seat from more than twice as many votes because they can’t win an overall majority in any one constituency apart from Clacton. Again this may seem strange to an international audience but that is how our system works. However, UKIP did get a lot of second places which bodes well for them for the next election. This also stopped Labour from winning seats, so UKIP is decidedly not a threat to just the Tories. This was probably underestimated by Labour. UKIP would have done even better if the voters had not been so worried about a UKIP vote letting a Labour government in by the back door. They would not approve particularly of Cameron’s brand of conservatism but hated the thought of ‘Red Ed’ taxing them until the pips squeak.

Because of the success of smaller parties the clamour for electoral reform will be louder in this parliament. The present system favours and suits the two main parties, but it is possible for a third party to gain success as we have seen with the Liberal Democrats in the past who have built up local support by getting entrenched in local government and then moving out from this to win parliamentary seats in those areas. So it can be done but is very much a long term strategy. Anyway, the rise of UKIP is a very encouraging sign that the stifling hold that the legacy parties have had on the UK is finally and slowly being destroyed.

A reform of the system on the other hand might bring in an element of proportional representation where to a greater extent the number of seats won reflects the number of votes cast. It would perhaps be more motivating for people to vote as they would know their vote counted, rather than in the present system where people are often tempted to vote tactically and against the party they do not want in.

David Cameron should be magnanimous in victory for after all only 37% of the voters voted for him, the other 63% should be cut some slack in the interests of governing the nation, especially when he has such a vibrant pro independence Scottish SNP breathing down his neck and nearly four million  ukippers to hold his feet to the fire.

Overall this result is a least worst scenario for the UK. It is good from the point of view of the EU referendum as now the Conservatives can go full steam ahead in organising the referendum on our continuing membership of the EU. If Labour or anyone else had got in there would have been no referendum, so from a geo-political point of view perhaps the main reason for the Conservatives getting a majority is to finally deal with the tortuous relationship the UK has had with the EU and its former manifestations. It needs to be dealt with. There were all sorts of possible outcomes in this election but a majority Conservative government is best placed to provide the British people with the EU promised referendum. And the result of that referendum if a UK exit will have an effect worldwide, I do not think I understate this.

We have just had the proof that under no circumstance should anyone who calls themselves British, English or any sort of patriot vote for this man! He has just aligned himself with the most lethal enemy known to what is left of western civilisation, namely the alliance between the hard left and militant Islam. The Daily Mail reported Nicola Sturgeon as the most dangerous woman in Britain, but Ed Milliband could be called the most dangerous man in Britain. Here he is proposing to make ‘Islamophobia’ a crime. Of course what he means by ‘Islamophobia’ may need a little clarification. However it is extremely disturbing to say the least.

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/04/25/miliband-labour-would-outlaw-islamophobia/

Hmm. Let’s see, perhaps we will get into trouble for drawing attention to the sharia advocated rather robust policy of dealing with male apostates in Islam i.e. to kill them. Then there’s the second class status of women. Or the fact that most of the world’s worst persecutors of Christians are Islamic countries. What about if we point out that mosques are not just, ahem, ‘places of worship.’ I could go on, but too many readers are too switched on now.

Unbelievable! Perhaps he would like to go and live in Pakistan where infamous blasphemy laws cause no end of problems particularly for Christians. As he sticks his head in the crocodile’s mouth you can kiss goodbye to any remaining liberty in these islands.

Perhaps if you abandon extreme identity politics for good and treat absolutely everyone on an equal footing regardless of ethnicity, religion, background, race or shoe size people might consider voting for you a little more, decisively, shall we say, Ed. How about stopping the insidious politics of victimhood and instead, start telling people they are entirely responsible for their own lives and to take advantage of all the great opportunities life in the UK can give them, regardless of so called ‘disadvantage?’ Dream on, Labour are hoisting themselves by their own petard.

It’s not just Labour. The Conservatives are so compromised now that they are up to the same tricks. We have Theresa May saying that attacks on Moslems will become a specific hate crime if the Tories win the election according to the Daily Mail. Now hold on Mrs May, shouldn’t everyone be treated exactly the same? An attack on a white, brown, black, Moslem, Christian, Sikh, heterosexual or homosexual or however else you describe yourself person is equally bad whoever the victim is, period.

For these two proposals alone, the two main parties deserve electoral annihilation. Unfortunately it wouldn’t take a genius to guess that the Lib Dems, Greens and SNP would take the same line on this matter. Sadly Ed and Theresa’s proposals won’t get much airtime compared with the usual mantras on the NHS and tax, but it’s these ‘little foxes that spoil the vines’ that will inject more poison capsules into the body politic than another rearranging of the deckchairs on the NHS Titanic will do. There comes a point in a nation’s life when there is just too much poison in its lifeblood and it dies.

The least worst option for the UK on Thursday is to vote for UKIP.

Majoring on the minors!

I said to a work colleague of mine recently that the whole political class in the UK needs to be swept away. That’s not to say that there are not some good people in all the parties, absolutely, but the whole mindset and ideology that has a grip on the main legacy parties needs to be utterly destroyed. That ideology is like a capsule of poison that has been inserted Into the heart of the nation that will stifle any remaining freedoms. We need a new leadership in the nation.

The thing with this election is that the traditional parties will say little or nothing that matters to the long term future of this country and plenty that is by far not as important to that long term future. Yet again the main parties will be telling us how they are going to sweeten us to vote for them. They will be looking at the next five years rather than the next 100 years, a fatal mistake because the issues facing the UK now need a patriotic leader who can look 100 years ahead at a critical juncture in our history.

However what makes the average voter tick? Perhaps they will be thinking, how will this government benefit me financially, will I get a bigger tax allowance, lower taxes, more benefits, a housing subsidy? And so it goes on. But somebody has to pay, and that somebody is us. It is a very powerful temptation for a voter to seek financial advantage, who could blame them, especially when so many people are struggling to make ends meet. Yet how many of us have got into financial difficulties entirely through our own poor decision making which has got nothing to do with whether the government follows this policy or that policy? Governments say they are going to benefit us financially, but how many voters will vote in the interests of the long term future of this nation, how many will be thinking of their children and grandchildren?

Precious few I suspect. Those who do not have children or grandchildren, and never will, and that is a substantial proportion of the adult population, a sad indictment of our society I might say, will be even less inclined to think of our long term future as their lives are more likely to revolve around just them.

The parties will give the usual noises about health and education, that these merit goods will be safe in their hands. Are they important you bet they are, but are they the most important issues? The NHS should be seriously looked at anyway as to whether it is the best model of health service. We could do a lot worse than look at some of the other perhaps more successful models of health care around the world. There are big questions arising over how it should be run and who it should help. There should be a debate on exactly what treatments should and should not be allowed at the taxpayers expense. How much emphasis should be put on preventative as opposed to corrective medicine? To what extent should the NHS be a world health service?

A huge issue for the UK to deal with is who governs us, will it be Brussels or Westminster? This is an issue that is increasingly being taken out of our hands, and 800 years after Magna Carta in 2015 we may be about to see the freedoms we have enjoyed for so long finally being snuffed out with virtually a whimper. If the Labour Party gets in again with some sort of covert confidence and supply arrangement with the SNP, enough damage may be done to finish off the UK for good and deliver the country like a filleted haddock to the EU on a plate. No true patriot could vote for the Labour Party as they are not giving a referendum on the EU, the very least any party can do to placate the British people. At least David Cameron is giving us the long promised referendum, although some might say he will be a bit slippery. The problem with the legacy parties are that they are wedded to the EU Project, it is burned into their thinking and many of them will not have known anything else, let alone be aware of the bullying spirit behind the EU forcing conformity on individual nations.

And you will not hear a word about militant Islam, an issue which is bubbling away under the surface but would put a firestorm into the election campaign if truths came out in the open. This is an issue that has to be dealt with now but the legacy parties will be desperate to maintain the status quo, ‘nothing to see here, look away now.’ There is such delusion at a high level that Ed Milliband is reported as saying that ‘Islamophobia’ would be made a criminal offence in the UK if he becomes Prime Minister. Meanwhile the demographic time bomb is ticking away as indigenous Brits do not have many children and immigrants do, happily so if the largesse of the State helps them. While the news tells us recently that by 2051 ethnic minorities are predicted to make up a quarter of the British population. This will fundamentally and irreversibly change the nation for ever and not for the good on present projections.

Furthermore the legacy parties are all wedded to anti discrimination and equality legislation which will continue to chip away at our freedoms until someone says, ‘enough of this madness!’ A parable of our present sorry state is the Equality Commission of Northern Ireland taking a baker to court for refusing to put a slogan on a cake supporting gay marriage (and gay marriage is not even legal in Northern Ireland). You have to wonder who these cold hearted bureaucrats are who are willing to trample on the consciences of ordinary people. And so these stories make Great Britain a basket case in the eyes of the world.

So, you will not hear a thing about these matters in the General Election campaign, rather what would happen to the NHS if the other party got hold of it, or what will happen to zero hours contracts, or perhaps those cuts won’t be so bad under X compared with Y. All short term and less consequential whilst the really big matters will prance around like an elephant in the room while the politicians try to mouth their platitudes. Still no statesman in the house!

Despite all this, is the worm turning in the UK? Too many people can now see what is going on and in this most unpredictable of elections the fruitcakes and loonies are not coming home to the Tories, neither are the SNP voters returning to Labour. People must have the courage of their convictions and vote for who they consider best represents them and must not be bullied into thinking that they will somehow let in some highly dangerous coalition if they fail to vote for one of the big parties. 2015 could prove to be a watershed year. There is always hope. First it’s impossible, then it’s difficult, then it’s done! Will the UK, on its last legs, at the bottom of the ocean, in a coffin, and chained up to boot, perform a Houdini for the world to see?

What does that gobbledygook in the title mean? Well anyone with a Bible education knows exactly where it comes from and what it means.
This is what it means: ‘Your days are numbered; you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.’ (Daniel 5 v 25)
There’s a profound story in the Old Testament about Belshazzar, son of Nebuchadnezzar and the Persian King, who is feasting with his acolytes when a disembodied hand starts writing on the wall of the palace. Scared to death, the King does not understand what has been written so calls in all his magicians to provide an interpretation. No-one can, and finally he calls in Daniel, the prophet to help out.
Daniel provides the interpretation as above and makes it clear that because Belshazzar has not been a very good boy, has not been humble towards the God of heaven, but instead has praised the gods of silver and gold and has drunk from the golden vessels that belong in the Jerusalem temple, his kingdom is going to be taken away from him and given to someone else.
There are some people in the world today that still believe the hand of providence still governs the affairs of men, that Almighty God promotes who He wills and brings down who He wills in world affairs. Others count this as the musings of madmen. However, there is a general principle lurking somewhere here. That if as a government you flout your responsibilities and forget the source of your legitimacy, you may face a ‘car crash.’
Perhaps we can widen the comparison somewhat to analyse the situation in the UK today. If you fail to properly fulfil the responsibilities of government in providing for the welfare of your nation and the security of your people, then an increasing disconnect will develop between the government and the governed, a vacuum will appear, and eventually it will be filled with something else.
Could the rise of UKIP be a bit like that giant hand writing on the wall giving a stark warning to the political class that their days as a political monopoly are over? As the Westminster elite try to divine what exactly is happening in the UK the walls are turning a ghastly shade of purple all around them.
If you do believe in God, and that he still controls the affairs of men, you could well conceive that He has used David Cameron to help destroy the Conservative party, something Peter Hitchens thinks should happen, so that a phoenix can arise from the ashes before it is too late. I have said before that his passing of ‘same sex marriage’ disqualifies him and his acolytes from governing this nation. It is a direct assault on the model of father and mother nurturing the next generation. You may not like that and even find it offensive but that is my view. If you allow offence to be the measuring rod of what is ‘acceptable’ or ‘not acceptable’ in society your culture is on its death bed. Another basic responsibility of any government is to control the borders of the nation. This is just plain common sense. You do not allow people willy-nilly just to walk in and out of your country without knowing exactly who they are and what agenda they have, and you certainly do not allow vast numbers to enter a limited land mass in such a short space of time. As a result of our laxity we now have goodness knows how many highly dangerous people walking the streets of the UK.
Whatever you think a ‘Mene, Mene, Tekel ‘ moment may have come in UK politics. The present governing classes have disqualified themselves and continue to disqualify themselves from governing this great but sadly diminished nation. It is now time for people of the highest integrity and character to rise up and take the reins of leadership in Great Britain. It is quite conceivable that we are in the process of power being taken out of the hands of those who have been given custody of the nation but have failed to fulfil their awesome responsibilities. Now it is time for others to have a go, those that really love this country and have been in despair over recent years at what has happened to the UK. And some of those people are still within the old parties, good people who can see what is going on, it is just impossible for them to break the spirit that controls their parties. Perhaps there will even be splits in the main parties to help form something new.
You only have to keep up with the news to substantiate my viewpoint that the earthquake continues and there is something seriously wrong with our system of governance. The defection of Douglas Carswell and subsequently Mark Reckless to UKIP is part of the fundamental realignment that is now going on that will continue to be poo-poohed by the media. The cat is out of the bag and many British people know that we are reaching a critical point in our history. It is no longer business as usual.
Recently in the news was the story that hundreds of migrants in Calais tried to storm a ferry to gain illegal entry to the UK. This outrageous disorder is the result of a seriously malfunctioning system. It may be on the other side of the Channel and a little removed from our island plot but the very fact that such a motley crew are trying with such bravado to illegally enter these islands shows a very ill wind is blowing. This is a continuing problem with regular updates in the MSM.
Another story that has absolutely horrified the nation and has repercussions worldwide has been the abuse of 1400 girls in Rotherham by Pakistani Moslem men swept under the carpet by the authorities because of the fear of being called ‘racist,’ political correctness’ and ‘cultural sensitivity.’ I don’t know about you but I think a culture is sick to the core when it cannot do what is right and protect the innocence and vulnerability of white girls being systematically raped, bullied and abused by evil men. And this outrage took place under the Labour watch.
This situation is sadly probably the tip of a very big iceberg which when fully exposed is going to make the people of these islands very, very angry. The Labour party are given over to the poisonous ideology behind multiculturalism and therefore should never be allowed to govern this nation again until they get their house in order. Extreme courage is needed by true leaders in the Labour party to deal with this type of corruption and face down bullying and intimidation. Unfortunately far too many people cannot see beyond their tribal voting patterns and will sadly vote Labour even after all this exposure.
This is the problem, as Melanie Phillips so presciently says, that political correctness kills. If it doesn’t do that it will certainly do irreparable harm to many people. This is what the wonderful doctrine of multiculturalism and diversity has brought to the once great nation of Britain, and this doctrine is now so entrenched in the body politic that it will take a ruthless and clear minded strategy to extract the poison in its fullness that has done so much harm to this country. But now the chickens are coming home to roost. Multiculturalism and diversity is like a weed that is strangling the lifeblood out of this country and the sooner it is dealt with the better. Watch this space!

For so long it’s as if an evil magician has cast a spell over these islands, producing a thick fog of deception and lies, and even sending much of the UK to sleep. This spell has affected peoples’ thinking, building strongholds in their minds and suppressing their spirit, but now it’s as if we are just getting a glimpse of sunlight. That glimpse of course has been provided by the success of UKIP in last week’s elections. UKIP of course are hardly the answer to all our problems, but they are shaking the political heavyweights who for too long have dragged the UK in the wrong direction.

A recent election poster from UKIP emblazoned on the side of a building on my route to work is truly prophetic for the UK, and heralds a very exciting time for political junkies, because I believe things are going to change big time. A poster to warm the cockles of your heart and make you feel real good. It trumpeted how UKIP will give Britain its voice back, showing how UKIP will unmuzzle the British people who have been oppressed by the EU project.

It will be messy, there will be all sorts of flak and gunfire from both sides, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the establishment will try every trick in the book to destroy this relatively new baby, but they will not succeed because something has been unleashed in the nation. They will use mockery, sneering, twisting of words, dissimulation and there may even be physical attack from certain unruly elements of society. I believe it will take time, but will be unstoppable.

Some commentators are claiming that it is all just another flash in the pan and that it will be business as usual next year. However, Melanie Phillips writing in the Times today understands what is going on, as she so often does. This is not just a political protest by people who will come back into the fold, this is part of a revolution in British politics. The establishment have only themselves to blame, because by forging ahead with their agenda, they have created a massive vacuum of leadership in the UK which eventually had to be filled. Thankfully it is being filled at least partly by UKIP. Things could be a lot worse!

I said before that UKIP is a sign of something new in the nation. They are in the vanguard of a major shift I believe in UK politics, which can only be healthy for our democracy. For too long the ruling parties have carved out a monopoly for themselves which perhaps they have taken for granted. No longer. Some people say that Tories will come back into the fold at the next election, that disgrunted Labour supporters will return to their roots because their family were always Labour people. But the signs are that the Rubicon has been crossed.

The media have been picking up on all the faults with UKIP in the past few weeks and yet none of the accusations have stuck. This is something that the powers that be need to understand, people are now beyond being muzzled because of fear of bullying or intimidation over words like ‘racist.’ The political establishment need to be challenged to the core and the ideology that they have foisted upon the nation centring on equality, anti-discrimination and human rights needs to be bulldozed. As I have said before this ideology is an imposition upon the soul of the British people. It is a counterfeit ideology to the Judeo Christian heritage that has helped sustain this nation for so long. It is well on the way to replacing that heritage.

The forces at work to destroy this nation I believe are terrified of legitimate opposition to their plans. They are working through the EU and substantially through a co-opted Westminster to achieve their ends and are substantially along the route to fulfil their aims. Every building block is falling into place. All our liberties, freedom of speech, movement, religion, etc will soon disappear at the hands of perhaps the most diabolical spirit of control and intimidation Great Britain has ever faced. Now is the time to rise up and face it down head on. Men and woman that rise up at this time with courage and fearlessness will have the anointing to deal with that spirit and the people of these islands will get right behind them.

Did anyone really believe that opposition would not arise against the agenda of the political elite across the UK and the EU? We may be a bit slow, but the UK has a special responsibility to stand against institutionalised foolishness given our history. The so called cradle of liberty for much of the world being finally being crushed by the enemies of Great Britain, a suffocating spirit of conformity squeezing the eccentricity, brilliant technicolour of non-conformity, bloodymindedness and ‘sod off’ mentality that has helped to make this nation great in the past.

It is interesting that the same tired old words aimed at some UKIP activists were used as a method of attack, words such as ‘racist,’ ‘homophobe’ and ‘islamophobe,’ but it is becoming like water off a duck’s back. These are the very words that parts of the progressive establishment have used to bully the British people, and now their stranglehold is being loosened. Again this is very healthy because those words are being used to completely destroy freedom of speech in Great Britain.  It will be a battle, but now legitimate opposition is arising.

What UKIP need is to be beefed up a little. You only need 600 odd men and women of the highest integrity to stand for election to Parliament, who are articulate on the media and speak common sense by the bucket load to really put the wind up the whole three party system. That will sweep like a breath of fresh air through the whole system. In a sense, there is nothing wrong with our system. It is the people that predominate in it that need to be changed.

Nigel Farage has hinted that his purpose is to pull the UK out of the EU and then retire from politics. That result alone qualifies him to be named a ‘Great Briton.’ However, it is essential that UKIP coalesce into a genuine long term conservative movement that will be the only thing that will stand up for traditional Britain.

Time is very short, we are almost at midnight because there are dark forces at work that think they have slain the British Lion. I believe things are now falling into place that will shackle this nation for a very long time. But the nation has been here before when only a last minute rescue would suffice. Think of the Battle of Britain during the last war, when the ‘Few’ wrought a mighty deliverance for the nation. This time, the enemies of Great Britain are within as well as without, making things very tricky. However, it may be that the ‘Few’ again, rising up in UKIP and from unexpected places, will bring another deliverance for our nation.
