Tony Blair to guarantee Tory victory.
The Labour government has become so detached from reality that are about to guarantee victory in the next general election for David Cameron. And this maybe is Tony Blair's greatest achievement because quite frankly, David Cameron is a complete lightweight as far as I am concerned, highlighted by his touchy feely policies and the choice of A list candidates for the next election.
Whatever the rights and wrongs, of Tony Blair's foreign-policy in the Middle-East he seems to have elevated himself away from any contact with domestic issues. Probably the most damaging policy to Tony Blair's government, is the complete arrogance and indifference to their reckless and negligent policy concerning migration. I would imagine that these new Labour types are to politically correct, to distinguish between xenophobia, and a legitimate national and economic interests.
The British people, are tolerant and will put up with any amount of ball from the ruling classes about embracing cultures (that don't want to be embraced), but when the government concedes to having allowed a population explosion of 600,000 people without planning or the slightest care for the consequences then this Government's days are numbered.
Tony McNulty, Home Office minister (I hadn't heard of him either) said that migrants were helping the UK economy, for whatever reason the report I'm reading from the BBC fails to make the case or illustrate in what part of our economy migrants are helping. Presumably Tony McNulty has not heard reports from builders and other trades across the south-east, of earnings being cut by a half and a scarcity of work, neither has he heard of the safety implications of poorly trained non-English speakers in the construction industry.
Perhaps it is time, for National and regional government to recruit Polish, Bulgarian and Romanian staff into our civil service, the trend for cuts in pay by a half can be continued to the large bloated and feather-bedded, local and national government workers, thus bringing equality across the economy. Even on basic matters of prejudice our government has shown complete cowardice, in the face of construction firms and farming industries employing foreign nationals just so that they can screw down labour costs.
Construction companies are paying Polish workers less, not because they are less qualified but because they are Polish and vulnerable.
If Polish nationals were predominantly of a non European race, the discrimination would be plain even for our government.

The A List is a joke and I say this as a Tory. Its blatant sexual discrimination and ignores local Associations. He wants to pick a fight with traditional Tories over the issue. I think he's going to find it rather hard to justify taking further action in 3 months time if he doesnt get what he wants. There arent many options left to him.
ReplyDeleteAs for policy, Im pretty disappointed with it. The Built to Last, despite being called a "responsibility revolution" isnt one. The definition of responsibility for Cameron is clearly a weaker form of the term as I understand it. Giving a whole page each to the environment and global poverty whilst shoving education and healthcare on one page is getting the balance completely wrong.
Its sad that the Conservatives, riding on a crest of a wave, cant speak with more force on the issues that really matter to the public.
Talking about xenophobia, have you heard of the name Inigo Wilson, suspended from his role in Orange for writing a satirical look at political correct language, which radical Muslims objected to. Theres no such thing as freedom of speech anymore.
