Conservative Party: 40,000 teachers left the profession. NHS is bleeding professionals that are leaving even for other countries
Conservative Party is in a crisis with MPs no longer willing to stand for re-election and even members of the Cabinet announcing that they will not be standing for re-election. In the meantime, problems are being piled up at all levels.
In education, more than 40,000 teachers are no longer teaching. They have had more than enough. When asked, a school teacher said 'I could not take it any more. It was not just about 35 pupils in the classroom. It was also about dealing with children with mental health issues that made teaching impossible.' It is not about remuneration. It is about working conditions. Teacher are supposed to teach. They are not supposed to deal with psychiatric problems thrown in the classroom.
What has changed about the operation of Police stations in the UK. Politicians including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak make promises in the House of Commons that he really and truly knows that cannot be delivered. Police stations are not even receiving reports regarding property stolen, let alone theft of mobile phones. They are understaff and they don't have the resources to deal with that kind of crime.
How much times does a consultant in the NHS have to deal with patients? Not much. There are not enough consultants and not enough specialised staff. There is so much that can be done with lack of human resources and with lack of equipment.
And what happens in Job Centres? Unqualified staff and insufficient staff are leading to DWP staff quitting their jobs because they cannot deal with the workload they are forced to deal with.
And what happens at the Home Office? Not enough staff to deal with mountains of applications and the natural consequence is that everything gets delayed and this has social consequences. A rising number of people are wandering around in limbo and more often than not local authorities, schools and social services have to deal with the outcome having to find non existing accommodation for families with children, many of which are facing mental health problems and situations of abuse including domestic violence.
This is a tale of massive government incompetence. Government secretaries of state and ministers spend an awful amount of time making political statements and seem absolutely oblivious to reality. What is the point of spending millions of Pound every ten years to carry out Censuses? Save the money spent on Censuses and spend it to really try to solve the myriad of problems Britain is facing. Whatever data can be gathered in censuses are completely unreliable.
You will never be able to keep up with inflation when trying to support families via the welfare state. Look at the cost of buying and look at the cost of renting. Private renting is a total waste of resources. The private market is not supposed to meet the needs of those in need. Private letting is a business. What is needed is the sort of letting that can be controlled by the state. If you have social housing, the monies can be kept by the state and re-invested in social services. Private renting should be left for those who can afford to rent without state support. The state should be both landlord and service provider.
Do you know what happens to families with children that are forced to be constantly on the move from one area to another, from one city to another? Do you know what happens when it comes to education, health, work, family cohesion and mental health? Instability, uncertainty, mental health problems, domestic violence, constant financial struggle and dependency and the list goes on.

United Kingdom: Where does the principle of social responsibility stand? Robots are killing jobs and increasing anti-social trends
We talk about technology and about how beautiful technology is. Some bits of technology are obviously very attractive and rewarding for many, but other bits of technology can create social mayhem. Every year, policians of all political colours talk about rates of unemployment, but when it comes to unemployment rates, a single piece of equipment has created a lot of unemployment and especially amongst those more vulnerable in society.
I went to my local supermarket. It was a beehive of activity and the shopping experience was very much a social experience. I knew the attendants and the attendants knew me since I had been going to the same shop day in and day out for several years.Tuesday, 28 June 2022
Owen Jones: If Labour does not stand up for people, Unions will
Sometime ago, a high ranking Liberal Democrat, Vince Cable, proposed the creation of a new political force that would unite Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians. The talk about cooperation in terms of voting strategies in recent by-elections also suggest that something is cooking.
Vince Cable, like many other Liberal Democrat politicians are closer to the City than they are to the Trade Union Movement, and Keir Starmer seem to have turned farther right than his predecessors. In fact, getting rid of Jeremy Corbyn was part of the strateg, but all might no be what it seems. The Labour Party is split from the very top and The Guardian's suggestion that 'Labour's hostile posture to a newly assertive trade union movement could prove a costly error'. It is not a secret that Trade Union that finance several Labour MPs and that certain guidelines have been adopted in term of withdrawing financial support for those who do not support the Trade Union Movement as much as the Trade Union Movement wants to be supported. Even David Lammy came out saying that 'he does not support strikes'. Labour's stances are a double edged sword that can hurt its aspirations.
The Leadership of the Labour Party knows fairly well that the present troubles are not really caused by economic policies implemented by the Conservative Party. They know that there are geopolitical issues that are accelerating inflation and leading to industrial unrest, unrest that would exist one way or another under a Conservative government or a Labour government, issues that would undermine any administratoion regardless of political orientation.
By-elections are by-elections, won one day and lost the next. Some Conservatives are not happy with a government that they think is 'not Conservative enough'. They might prefer to stick to the old ways, talking about lower taxes, a smaller state, and so forth. Do we favour the use of more fossil fuels or do we favour the environment with less use of fossil fuels? Energy costs are going up and will continue to go up, pushing prices up and leading to an effective devaluation of the Pound. If you can buy less with your Pound, then this is in fact devaluation of the Pound or you can call it also 'a salary reduction'. Nominally, you might have the same number of Pounds, but due to inflation you will only be able to buy less with your money.

Batley and Spen: George Galloway launches a crusade against Keir Starmer
While Keir Starmer is busy in a game of chairs to maintain control of the Labour Party after a series of electoral defeats including Hartlepool and Chesham and Amersham where the Labour Party was put behing the Greens with a few hundred votes, the chase is on.
It was Diane Abbott, a close associate of Jeremy Corbyn - former Labour Party Leader thrown out of the Labour Party and now standing as an Independent in the House of Commons -, who said that defeat in Batley and Spen would be the end of the leadership of Keir Starmer.
George Galloway is another former Labour MP involved in a crusade to defeat the Labour Party in Batley and Spen - the seat that used to be represented by Jo Cox where none other than Kim Leadbeater sister of Jo Cox is standing for election.
Who can Keir Starmer trust inside the Labour Party shadow cabinet? Who can he count on should there be another leadership challenge? Every reshuffle is a bruising experience. Could there be a Labour Dominic Cummings in waiting?
As previously reported, the gap between Labour and Conservative has been getting smaller since the seat went to Labour in 1997. Now, Muslim voters that constitute a sizeable minority in Batley and Spen and other disaffected Labour voters most of whom voted for Brexit see little in the present Labour Party. If we take this into account then Batley and Spen is a very marginal Labour seat and ready for the taking.

National Action: I have said all along that National Action is very much part of the Armed Forces
National Action is very much part of the British Armed Forces
Quite a few times I mentioned to my own Member of Parliament and to members of the British Cabinet that serving soldiers and veterans were training paramilitaries in the United Kingdom. Nobody listened.I also said that if lower ranks were involved medium ranks were fully aware of their political affiliations and inclinations. Nobody listened.
My Member of Parliament asked me if I was willing to talk to Member of the Security Services about it. I declined. Why? Because I don't trust British Security Services. I don't trust them because of their record in certain matters and I don't trust them because of evident levels of sheer incompetence.
There is no fear. For serving soldiers fully aware of the implications of showing themselves shooting at a picture of Jeremy Corbyn to do what they did is a clear hint of what could certainly happen and of the mood within the British Armed Forces.
General Election? Is it wise? Jeremy Corbyn could go the way Salvador Allende went and Parliament could become a thing of the past.

Henry Bolton: British Mass Media not even remotely interested in substance politics
As Henry Bolton, UKIPs Leader, prepares himself to make a statement this afternoon at 4:00pm in Folkestone, the British Massi Media - presumed defenders of public freedoms - are only interested in superficial issues and innuendo.
Whether his girlfriend had or hand't racist views is absolutely irrelevant. The girlfriend is now history since they have both parted company. Then was the vote of confidence and the resignation of a deputy and an aide. What has happened from a substantial point of view? Absolutely nothing. There is no discussion about policies whatsoever.
In the meantime Nigel Farage and Arron Banks are reportedly talking about new political developments. Is this news? Not at all. Nigel Farage and Arron Banks have been talking about new political developments for a very long time - in fact since right after the Referendum on the EU. I spoke with Arron Banks about plans during a business event in London a few months ago. Since then there was another leadership election in which Ann Marie Waters was not successful and left UKIP to form another political organisation called For Britain.
Scandals or pseudo scandals are what the mass media specialise on even when there are very important issues - non related to UKIP - that need to be talked about. How what is happening in UKIP right now is relevant in the grand scheme of things? Well, it isn't relevant. In the meantime, political forces are getting ready for local elections in London where Councillors are going to be elected in all London boroughs. This is what we should be talking about but attention is diverted from the main issues to talk about rubbish.

British Nationalism Round 2
What we knew as British Nationalism was very much dominated by ideas and concepts from the 1930s and 1940s. This is why it could easily be labelled as something else that had little to do with genuine British interests.
Labelling has been a tactic used by Marxist organisations keeping the ghosts of World War Two in the minds of ordinary people and a way to misrepresent, distort and victimise those who have raised genuine concerns about the direction of travel of today's Britain. Even those who had little or nothing to do with certain movements or ideologies have been classified as Nazi, Fascist, Xenophobe, Anti-Semite and the like. At one point, members of the Conservative Party and of the United Kingdom Independence Party were shouted at and discriminated against using the same labels.
In the same manner that Vince Cable MP talked about the need for a new political map of Britain to replace the duality Conservative/Labour, it is self-evident that the two-party status quo is no longer a viable alternative. The Liberal Democrats themselves had a rude awakening when they lost practically 4/5 of their representation in the House of Commons. Britain has changed and the so called mainstream political parties are nothing more than a loose association of different ideological trends.
As the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, there will be new political definitions and this could lead to the rise of a true British Nationalist political party that will be essentially British, a modern political party, a political party for the Twenty-First Century.

Jo Cox: Right to the Point
- The then Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered. Fact.
- The man who killed her had asked NHS for help because he was feeling mentally unstable and was told to come back another day. Fact
- Jo Cox was campaigning to deprive quite a lot of people of the right to have say in a Democratic Society. Fact.
- In the UK, there is legislation and regulations that bans members of legal political parties from certain professions. Fact.
