Sadiq Khan lost the Uxbridge election with ULEZ, but there is a lot more that should make people worry

 

Just when Labour thought that the Uxbridge by-election was in the bag, Sadiq Khan made his best to ruin Labour's chances of winning the seat of the former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Sorry, Dad. I didn't know what I was doing. The expression on their faces tell the full story. Labour MPs had alerted that keeping ULEZ was a very bad idea and they pleaded with Sadiq Khan to postpone the implementation of ULEZ. Sadid Khan did not listen and Labour lost a key Parliamentary seat.

Labour voters turned against Labour because Labour voters in that area on the edges of Greater London need their cars and their small businesses depend on business transport and residents have very poor access to public transport so that using a car is often unavoidable. 

The Guardian itself published an article saying that the green revolution is not taking into account the needs of ordinary people that cannot afford to pay for it. Has Labour turned its back on the British people? Climate extremists, apart from making fools of themselves, are turning people off and Labour's association with Stop Oil is a losing card. Central London Labour has lost the plot. Outside London, stauch Labour supporters are t leaving the Labour Party. In one particular case, a Labour mayoral candidate resigned his party membership and is standing as an independent because London Labour did not want him to stand to represent his constituents.

Keir Starmer is making one mistake after another and keeping quiet when he should speaking loudly. One particular scenario is when politicians of both sides of the divide spoke against the cancellation of bank accounts for political reasons. He was very quick to talk about women with penises, but he is mute when he should be defending democratic rights. After all, Chris Bryant MP is reported to have been behind a hate campaign aiming at silencing people who do not agree with his views.

Strange political animal, Chris Bryant was originally a member of the Conservative Party, but he joined the Labour party in 1986. He even tried to work as Priest, was ordained Deacon in 1986 and Priest in 1987, but decided that being a priest and being gay were incompatible. Years later, he would have reconsidered his decision to abandon the priesthood as the Church of England is now promoting homosexuality and multiple genders and say that the Lords Prayer should be abandoned.

The British Broadcasting Corporation is in cahouts with individuals that are threatening political rights and human rights. Two prominent BBC went suddenly quiet when it was revealed that a Natwest CEO Dame Alison Rose was behind the closure of an undetermined number of bank accounts for political reasons and among those accounts were the accounts of Nigel Farage. The plotters were found out and exposed and public apologies had to be made. Keir Starmer has not spoken about it, Chris Bryant has not spoken about it and Jon Sopel and Simon Jack in spite of apologies should be fired for participating in a criminal plot as willing accomplices of Dame Alison Rose.

Bad governance leads to riots: if democracy is hopeless when trying to sort out problems, violence will follow

We are already seeing it on the streets. When Stop Oil protesters block a public way, drivers are losing patience and taking justice into their own hands. When Police officers stand aside and fail to do their duty, ordinary citizens will act given the absences and failures of local authorities.

There is nothing that could not happen if there is a social breakdown. On the pages of The Guardian we read acticles showing 'astonishment' about the numbers of those living on the streets. People have been living on the streets for many years and nobody seemed to take any notice of what has been happening. The actual heir to the throne - Prince William Windsor - has been walking around and talking about 'no more people sleeping rough'. Rent increases will see thousands of families and individuals facing the real prospect of living on the streets. So the numbers might not be going down, but actually going up as the financial crisis takes hold.

I don't think that in recent times we have seen anything like it. The most recent financial crisis don't come even close to what is going to happen if the economy goes downhill. There are reports indicating that landlords are selling properties that they used to rent. This is going to make the situation worse as places for renting disappear and rental costs go up thank to increased demand and lower supply.

Too much time is being devoted to gender and racial non issues and too little time is being spent trying to deal with crucially important issues. Migration should be a NO/NO. If anything, migration is making a bad situation a lot more explosive. If political parties continue to promote idelogical irrationality instead of dealing with pressing issues, battles will be fought on the streets as tempers flair.



Sooner than later, somebody is going to be run over and killed. After these events, Police forces have been forced to challenge Stop Oil protesters and other groups that are spreading chaos on British streets.
