Can we have some real people back in politics please?
Lord McAlpine having spent the last
week politicising the libel process, the fine Councillors of Rotherham
yesterday demonstrated that the Left too can stomp about in the seedbed
of liberty sporting lead overshoes.
The decision by Rotherham Council and two of
its social workers to remove three non-white kids from successful
parents because they vote UKip beggars belief. The Council’s firm line
on “standing by” its decision suggests they don’t know the first thing
about democracy (or indeed UKip). It should also be grounds for using
the old Thatcher law about local incompetence, and have them removed
from the governing process.
It would be hard to imagine a better
opportunity for The Slog to demonstrate why its dislike of both Left and
Right is far from either negative or wishy-washy. On the one hand we
are presented with a right-wing manipulator using ambulance chasers to
strangle opposition. And on the other we make the acquaintance of
Stalinists determined to use children as a means of strangling political
incomers.
Yet oddly enough, we come back full circle
to the same background: vital areas of social governance being rendered
dysfunctional by political agendas. And specifically, we come back to
the same place: the protection of our children.
While leaping Lord Alistair and slavishly
right-on social workers continue to make their heavy-handed points, we
the People are left with nothing but abuse of a system upon which we
depend. Vindictive and lawless, these extremists continue to blight our
culture for the sake of discredited polemics.
I am tired of fanaticism. I’m sick of
feminist lawyers and neocon greed, of Brechtian Labour’s shadowy figures
and the Tory Party’s paedophile backers, of Boris Johnson and his
blatantly ambitious rabble-rousing, of Lord Fallon’s double-standards
and MPs wanting double-helpings, of Harriet Harman’s dense bigotry and
Labour covering up for perverts in its midst, of unelected foreign media
barons trying to run the country, and billionaire Peers attempting to
stuff ballot boxes with monied influence.
There won’t be a Saturday Essay today; there’s too much ongoing lunacy and criminality with which to deal. More anon.
