I get the distinct impression that the majority of people in England are absolutely fed up with politics and especially Gordon Brown and the Labour Government. As a Chancellor of the Exchequer he was almost bearable but as Prime Minster he is appalling. He just doesn’t seem right for the job and no one now believes a word he or his cronies say. We are supposed to be living in a democracy but politicians do whatever they like regardless of public opinion. There’s no need to list the multitude of unpopular decisions made by Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the government. However, it is worth mentioning the war in Iraq. I didn’t meet one person who was in favour of this illegal war, except it must be said for a group of “gung ho” US marines who couldn’t wait to fight another war. Public opinion was hugely against the war and ordinary people demonstrated on the streets of London against it. The only other time I witnessed such a public outcry was against the Poll Tax imposed by Margaret Thatcher.  The Poll Tax was reversed but the war in Iraq goes on. There is so much social injustice and poverty in this country. It is a criminal act of the highest order to be spending huge amounts of money on this illegal war. The country just can’t afford it. Our armed forces have had their budgets cut year on year and they are still expected to operate as if we were a major force in the world. Equipment, living conditions and pay are all below the levels that they should be. Is it no wonder morale is at an all time low? It is symptomatic of the Governments bad management and its disdain for the electorate. Education, health, policing and social order have all suffered at the hands of New Labour. Taxes are at an all time high and the cost of living is punitive. Government’s handling of personal information cannot be trusted with the massive security leaks being announced daily. And yet Gordon Brown insists on moving ahead with Identity Cards. He must be having a laugh.  We are being denied a vote on whether to accept the EU’s new constitution and now even MP’s are being denied a proper debate on the this incredibly important treaty. Gradually, bit by bit all our rights and decisions are being made for us in Brussels by faceless men and women unelected by the British electorate. I say enough is enough and there should now be an immediate election so that the British people can decide who they want to run this country and whether to cow tow to the faceless bureaucrats of Brussels.
