Hyde Park and Woodhouse

It is sad the Councillor for this ward has passed away at such a young age and my thoughts go out to his family. BUT come on Leeds Conservatives you must be pleased about the six month rule. Had this been a by-election you would have been torn down the middle.Fight to win, field a candidate, conspire a cock up with no candidate so the Lib Dems can win? What would you have done? If you are a Conservative member and you are thinking of contesting this ward think again because senior members will dump on you, give you no support and help the Lib Dems to win.

I know it happened to me.

VOTE CONSERVATIVE BUT NOT IN LEEDS.

No Surrender to the EU

This is difficult because I want a Conservative Government but what is the point of one if it can not govern?

I am not blaming David Cameron for the surrender of our independent nation status. David is not the PM, what I am calling for is a commitment to repatriate powers to our sovereign parliament. It is vital the countries who have surrendered their independence understand we want ours back. The only way they will understand this is if we have a strong positive plebiscite saying so. Yes I will vote Conservative at the next general election but they have 2 years to give me back my country or it’s off to UKIP.

BIN THE ALLIANCE

Time for radical reform in Leeds

As the bin collectors continue to strike it is time for a radical change to how Leeds is run. The council is in stagnation and unable to act because of the mad alliance of Liberals and Conservatives. The leaders of these groups are just interested in preserving their own positions. If we had a Conservative council we would have come up with a solution to this situation by now. Radical ideas would have seen a complete overhaul of the service with customer service at the heart of the changes. What we have now is a group of militant workers who have been protected by sentiment not logic. Leeds council is a classic example of how hug Parliaments work (most are brought about by PR or STV).

Now you may say it is OK to carp but what would you do?. Let me tell you. If the bin collectors want to stay on the same pay sack 25% of them, change black bin collection to every 2 weeks from October to the end of April and bring in agency workers from May to the end of September to upgrade to once a week. If people want a weekly collection in winter give them the option of choosing a local provider who will charge a premium. That should focus them on filling the green bin. So what if we had a Socialist council, well of course we would end up with a 18% rise in council tax and every other department following the example of the bin collectors. But this will not happen because we have a council who pander to the none paying council tax benefit voters. Which brings me on to the next point.. If you don’t pay why should you have a say? More later.

Labour has lost it says the Sun. If you think this is news you too must be behind the times. Labour lost it when Gord took over from Tony. Billions in debt and Gord tells us we need to spend more. He calls it investment, his understanding of the word is different to my understanding. My understanding is savings his must be speculation. He speculated and got it wrong. Tony wanted a deal with the people bur Gord wasted our pension savings and assets. Gords venture was a disgrace.

As we move to a new Election Gord will have to say what comes next. Conservatives should be clear an end to waste. No more Public Information Adverts. No more universal benefits unless you are living with a disability or chronic illness. The end to child benefit if you have more than three kids. No fuel benefit for people with income over £20k. No free travel for pensioners with an income over the same, £5 a year for a pass should cover this. An increase in Council Tax for households with more than three children (10% each child). Shut the TV licence authority and sell off all but BBC 1 and radio 4. Scrap road tax and charge every vehicle owner who enters the country £20pw to drive on our roads. Replace the language translation of public leaflets with compulsory lessons in English for the next five years. Anyone failing to sign up hard luck.

Finally the only tax increase would be 50% on product connected with Manchester United.

Its In The Sea Air

Knock knock? Who’s there? Nick. Nick who? Nick Clegg. Nick who?

You know the man who wants to be PM because of this, that and the other. Now if I applied for the job of England Team Manager when Martin Johnson gets the sack I would be called a lunatic. If I placed an advert in the newspaper declaring my interest I would be rightly a figure of national ridicule. So why do we allow this lunatic and his band of deluded wasters to be treated with respect. The Lib Dems are standing at 18% in the polls but the media takes them seriously. If the Lib Dem conference deserves national media coverage then so does the Party lead by David Ike.

If Clegg continues to spout this drivel and his Party members continue to spend a week frightening the locals while not coming up with one single sensible idea it will be necessary for the next government to find extra funding for mental health services. Truly, Clegg is not far from being the type of bloke who stands outside M&S with a sandwich board and a dog on a bit of string while reading from the Bible.

Mark my words when the Lib Dems meet next Autumn Clegg will have been cast aside and they will be wasting time having a leadership election. And somewhere in South Yorkshire a man will be telling anyone who will listen he wants to be like that nice bloke Dave while sitting alone in the park.

Anyone fancy playing scrum half against Italy?

ELECTION 2010 THE PREVIEW

This week the BBC in cahoots with the Labour Party have given us a preview of how the 2010 General Election will be covered and fought. There are four clear examples of the sinister and worryingly Stalinist way in which these discredited organisations are going to behave.
First lets take the issue of unemployment figures, on the day it was announced nearly a quarter of a million people had been thrown out of work in the last 3 months what did the BBC do? It focused its attention on a campaign group run by left wing extremists and un reconstructed socialists. It was a full 10 hours from the figures being released before an opposition spokesman was quoted.

The Alan Duncan episode was a typical Mandelson inspired story. We all know Alan has a sense of humour something the socialists and left wing journalists are lacking. I am not sure Alan got his timing right and under the circumstances it probably wasn’t his best move. But is this really headline news? And why was the BBC using illegal footage of an individual trespassing on private property and vandalising it. Further more it is illegal to take video equipment into the Palace of Westminster so again who supplied the BBC with the footage and why did they use it? Its hardly an issue of national security Dunky having a poor Joke.

George Osbourne makes a detailed policy speech and the response we get is a cheap remark about cross dressing from Lord Mandy of Rio. He should know.

More worrying is the Dan Hannah story and the comments of Andy Burnham. Dan Hannah is a bit of a berk and clearly is unhinged when it comes to social skills. However Burnham was a disgrace in his comments. To accuse Hannah of being unpatriotic is a cynical ploy used by soviet and fascist dictatorships. He then goes on to attack David Cameron for window dressing and PR when it comes to NHS policy. This is offensive in the extreme when you consider how his family have used the service. David Cameron has more passion for the NHS than any Conservative politician I have ever known.

This week has show how personal smears and over hyped comments will play a part in the BBC/ Labour pincer movement come the General Election. You have been warned, remember lose lips sink ships. I should know.

Lib DemS. No Chance, No Point.

Lib Dems Losing Here.

They did it again, the shitty bar chart, the only the Lib Dems can win, the invented polls. And again they lost. The Lib Dems should wake up and understand people have had enough of this rubbish,they have grown to understand the lies peddled by this crock of shite. Five years ago the Lib Dems would have walked into this seat at a by -election as they would at Crewe and Nantwich. Now they are using campaigning techniques that are 20 years out of date and have a Leader who is in danger of taking on Gordon Brown in the race to be the worst Leader of his Party ever.

Liberal Democrats are now no more relevant than UKIP and the Greens they are a group of incompetents who deserve no support. Now that brings me to Leeds, why are we in hock to this shower? why do we prop up a group of halfwits who try to rubbish us at every opportunity? Why are we so weak that we feel we need this bunch to keep us in power?

The simple answer is vanity. There are Conservative Councillors who would rather sell their colleagues down the river than stand up for the principles of the Party. There are some who could not earn a living in the real world. These people should be ordered out of the alliance. If the Leaders of the Conservatives are so poor they can only get to lead the Council by being a mate of the Lib Dems then god help us. This deal is wrong for many reasons, the main one being we play by the rules they do not. The alliance on Leeds City Council is a disgrace. Leeds is becoming a backward town run by people who have no idea of how a City should be run.

Sharing power with people who piss up your back is an abdication of principle. So come on Dave send Eric up to Leeds and order an end to this disgrace.
