The companies developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) are mainly interested in profit and ways to reduce the workforce. If they see an opportunity to replace a Human with a robot they will. If a task that a human currently does can be done by AI they will make it. Companies are falling over backwards for this kind of opportunity to maximise their profits. Greedy capitalist enterprises are always seeking new ways to decrease their workforces. Venture Capitalists in companies such as Uber would willingly invest in driverless vehicles for example if it meant a healthy profit. And the companies developing AI will certainly deliver the product to anyone willing to invest in their technologies. They will do this without any ethical considerations or conscience.
‘Electoral Credibility’ but at what cost to Labour Party Policies
Sir Kier Starmer keeps dropping in phrases about the Labour Party’s electoral credibility but what is unclear about his focus on this issue is the cost to the Labour Party’s policies and ambitions. Clearly he is modelling his attempt to regain power on those of Blair, modelling Labour’s appeal not on striking difference to the Tories but instead on the lines of similarity and fiscal responsibility. In reality such an approach makes sure of constraints on ambition. Is Starmer actually using budget constraints as an excuse for lack of ambition? Is he rejecting the idea that you actually need to spend to invest and reap rewards ? Lack of investment equals lack of ambition in this case and another missed opportunity to really change Britain for the long term good and to finally get an opportunity to reverse the harm that Thatcherism has done to Britain. By so doing He has forfeited on many policies at the heart of the core values of his Party.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak intends to pick your pockets to accomplish his 5 objectives
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has outlined his intentions to pick your pockets to accomplish his 5 objectives which include tackling Inflation. Sunak and the Bank of England are intent upon driving us into a recession to deal with Inflation. How ridiculous is this policy? Well it amounts to crashing the bus to make it stop even though the bus has working breaks. It’s like crashing an aeroplane in order to land. This is the ridiculous strategy being pursued by this Tory government and Andrew Bailey the so called governor of the Bank of England.
Surely creating a recession is not the only strategy available to tackle Inflation. This is economics made stupid. Surely a set of qualified economics advisors and experts could devise a better plan. Or is it just that economics has been taught incorrectly for years in schools and universities and this has resulted in a set of so called experts that are unable to apply true creative thought free from the shackles of dogma. Why not look for what has caused this Inflation. Ignore Putin, he is not the root cause: it’s the energy and utilities market that has driven this Cost of Living Crisis. This is what needs to be done to tackle Inflation. Rishi Sunak and these Tories simply don’t get it or they are basically still supportive of the Thatcherite privatisations that have marred Britain since their inception. Britain needs to rid itself once and for all from the legacy of Thatcherism. As I mentioned in my articles dealing with this issue. The biggest obstruction that stops Britain moving forward is the awful legacy of these Thatcherite policies that continue to hold Britain back. We need a government with the courage to actually deal with these real issues. The Tories won’t do it. Blair didn’t do it either and even perhaps Kier Starmer’s Labour vision ( when we actually know what it is ) probably won’t tackle these issues either. In the meantime, as we head towards the next recession, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will be picking your pocket in an attempt to meet the demands of his 5 point plan for Britain. You will be the ones paying for this with interest rate rises and possibly job losses.
Saturday Night TV on the BBC all repeats, whats going on?
Sat here on a Saturday night wondering if I had been travelling in time with Dr Who. All repeats of the Wheel and Blankety Blank. I even knew the outcome of the Wheel because my mindvhad been refreshed by watching Gogglebox earlier in the week which had the very same episode. So what’s going on with Saturday Night entertainment on the BBC? It’s really no fun watching repeats of game shows when you know what’s going to happen. Either give us a new series of the Wheel or something completely new. Watching predictable TV is certainly not on during prime viewing.
Waterways Pollution in Britain: Thatcher’s privatisations come to a shitty end
Last weeks admissions of failure by the British Water Companies are the perfect demonstration of the failure of Margaret Thatcher’s privatisations. Water pollution in the UK reflects and reveals decades of mismanagement by these water companies and exposes once and for all the failures of Britain’s privatisations brought about by the Thatcher and Major governments.
Now the final cost of these privatisations include polluted rivers and the coastline of the British Isles. Years of lack of investment and mismanagement have surfaced to show us the extent of the problems of privatisation. These companies have been creaming off profits to shareholders and investing in other business interests whilst neglecting their primary purpose. The stench of corruption and malpractice is as bad as the stench left by them in our polluted rivers and our beaches. Companies such as these have the obligation to look after the resources they are managing not to trash them. This obligation should be a prerequisite to the nature of there work. Hence by increasing pollution in our rivers and upon our beaches they have failed to execute their duties properly and should be removed as a liability as quickly as possible. It wouldn’t take long to do this and to prove this in a court of law and the British Government should be pressed to do so as a matter of obligation. However we have a Conservative Government in power that still supports these failed privations dating back to the Thatcher and Major Governments so any action on the matter seems remote.

Twelve Interest Rate rises sanctioned by the Bank of England all having no effect on Inflation and the Cost of Living Crisis
Yesterday’s announcement that the Bank of England is raising Interest Rates yet again to deal with Inflation and the Cost of Living Crisis just goes to show how clueless and incompetent Andrew Bailey really is. This is the twelfth interest rate rise to deal with this problem.
The previous eleven Interest rate rises had no effect and we continue to see prices of food and household items rising. All this proves is that the strategy of making people worse off simply is not the right way to deal with this situation. It appears that the lack of creativity and dogmatic response from Andrew Bailey and his Bank of England simply isn’t the solution to this current set of circumstances.
The Kremlin Drone Show: all completely staged and faked
The Kremlin Drone Show was completely staged and faked and choreographed by Putin and Russia. Also it just so happened that someone was conveniently placed to film the whole event. The Kremlin Drone Show was completely faked by Putin and Russia in an attempt to legitimise the pursuit of it’s war against the Ukraine. The faked Show was an attempt to galvanise it’s people and to legitimise increased levels of aggression against the Ukraine. An attempt to bolster possibly faltering enthusiasm and support for Putin himself. These were Russians flying these drones all staged for the cameras. It was like watching a circus act or a piece of cinematography: the whole thing was staged and faked by Putin and Russia. It was either that or an act of dissent from amongst his own people. One can only hope that maybe there is some resistance movement in Russia itself planning the destruction and assassination of it’s own despotic leader.

Putin most likely is disappointed by talks with China
Talks without allegiance and without commitment for towards armourments are likely to be a huge disappointment for Putin. China remains uncommitted towards Putin’s crusade. A show of strength yes but a commitment it is not. China will benefit from trading arrangements with Russia to replace some of what it has lost through the sanctions imposed upon Putin by the West but the deals made are not mutually beneficial. Putin is running out of options so any deals are better than no deals but it is also a sign of Russia and Putin diminished world currency. China remains aloof and certainly doesn’t wish to get drawn into a possible set of sanctions itself. China has to face it is reliant on exports to the West. To face large sanctions and boycotts on Chinese made goods would put his own regime at risk. People in China are being kept sweet and dormant by financial success. To risk upsetting that would most likely be a huge destabilising factor putting his regime at risk. The People’s Republic of China could be a very real possibility if this tyrannical regime were to upset those that they rule over. That Western trade are actually shoring up this regime is a political irony in itself. Take away this scaffolding and the Chinese are likely to implode.
Jeremy Hunt’s Budget 2022 serves only the Tories Election needs
Jeremy Hunt’s Budget 2022 serves only the Tories election needs and does very little to address the needs of the Country. Today’s Autumn Statement was a cynical budget which focused more on the Tories Election needs than anything else. The major pain has been withheld to a time following the next General Election. The aim of this was to prevent the Tories from becoming even more unpopular than they already are and to curb additional resentment towards them from the electorate in the run up to the next General Election. This is an attempt to stop leakage of voters based upon the Tories recent form and the fiasco of Trussonomics: still a sore wound in the memory of voters. Sure things are getting rough for the majority of ordinary people but there have been a number of sweeteners for: pensioners, those on the minimum wage and those on benefits. On the other hand inflation, prices and costs of fuel and energy are still rising. Also Council Tax is going to be another punch to the guts and an additional burden that hits everyone. This Government is still borrowing money to buy more time for the Tories to claw back some lost ground in the run up to the next election. So this is a cynical budget.

Britain needs Socialism now more than ever before
Tory policies have caused Britain to run aground. Thatcherite policies and values have now backed Britain into a cul-de-sac. There is no route forward any longer and therefore no reason to cling to the values of Thatcherism. Britain has no income and longer is is also bankrupt of ideas. Now the only course of action available to the Tories is to raise levels of government income from taxation. This was inevitable as a result of privatisation of Britain’s assets. Recent Tory governments have relied upon borrowing as a way of shoring up the facade that everything was under control. Then along came Liz Truss who yore down the mirrors to reveal the true horror show that the Tories had created. Truss even managed to make matters worse. No level of Tinkering about by Jeremy Hunt will make matters better. He is about to reveal a new level of taxation and unleash that on the British Public. Taxes taxes and more taxes. As if the public weren’t already struggling with higher interests rates and mortgage repayments. As if they weren’t already struggling with paying the price Hikes in energy costs and the subsequent inflationary prices. It seems that at every new announcement or misguided policy or budget that the Tories impose on us, that matters actually get worse and worse.
It comes as no surprise that the Tories are viewing tax rises as their only option
It comes as no surprise that the Tories are raising taxation, after all it’s their only option. The Tories have run out of ideas. Thatcherism has run it’s course until it’s run out of steam. Trickle down economics is mis-trusted. Thatcherism was evaporation economics. However Thatcherite values still prevailed in the values of the Conservative Party. Thatcherism is still evident everywhere in Britain even after 40 years. The Railways, Electricity, Gas and Water still remain in private sector. This is due in part to Blair who led the country and the Labour Party up the garden path. Blair remains a traitor to the Labour Party. An experiment in middle of the road politics that spawned a monster. Blair’s Labour Party did nothing to reverse the excesses of Thatcher and Major. By doing nothing it seemed to endorse them. Blair’s legacy was complete failure and is a period best forgotten by the Labour Party.
Britain needs socialism now to turn round our economy and open up new avenues to prosperity

The Tories have no answer to the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’
The Tories have no answer to the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Now as a last resort they have turned to taxation as their preferred ( and only available) method of attempting to deal with the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Taxation and more taxation is their response to dealing with the gap in public finances largely caused by their election of an inept leader which they imposed on the Country and for which we all must now pay for her mistakes. The Tories are now the party of high taxation because they haven’t anything else in their locker. For the last 12 years in Government they have been forced to rely on borrowing to keep taxation down. Now in the time of crisis all their ineptitude is showing. The Tories have no other strategy available to them besides taxation. They have nothing that generates any substantial income for them because they have sold it all off. This is the legacy of Thatcherism. Sell off all your assets and by so doing the only income you will be left with is through taxation. Thatcherism has caused Britain to become bankrupt.

How to tackle the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’
How to tackle the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Well the first obstacle is to remove the Tory Government because they are not equipped, ethically or ideologically, to deal effectively with the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. In fact many of their policies have contributed to this situation. The legacy of Thatcherism is also a contributory factor. The current situation of having our Energy and other utilities in the private sector is a major factor contributing to the high levels of Inflation that we are seeing. These Energy Providers have just got increasingly greedy and any attempts to moderate this by Tory Government Policies has been ineffectual.

Murdering Russians are a disgrace: time to arm the Ukraine with longer range missiles?
Another example of the Russians murdering innocent citizens in the most cowardly fashion. Putin should be classed as a war criminal who needs to be hunted down. Russia is a disgrace to the planet. Russia have shown that their armies are poor when it comes to the battlefield so instead it targets civilians in the most cowardly manner. This is Putin and his general’s style. The time has come to arm the Ukraine with the means to attack Russia with longer range missiles to completely destroy Putin’s bridge and attack Rusdia itself.
Starmer threatens the UK Energy Market suggesting a Publicly Owned Energy Provider
Sir Kier Starmer sent a strong message to the UK Energy Providers with an underlying threat made at the Labour Party Conference yesterday. If Labour gets elected it will set up a new publicly owned Energy Provider that will be in direct competition with the current UK Energy Providers. However it will be run for the benefit of the public and not as a privatised enterprise. This was initially my idea that I provided to the Labour Party on 19th October 2017. See my post http://havemysay.me.uk/competition-is-the-way-forward-for-the-public-ownership-of-gas-and-electricity-in-britain
Let’s get an Energy Company that works for Britain: instead of outside interests
So this was originally my idea of setting up a Government owned Energy Company offering direct competition to the current suppliers with the aim of putting them out of business. So instead of raising public funds to re-nationalise we can actually put them out of business instead without having to pay any compensation to shareholders. Even though Sir Kier Starmer didn’t mention putting them out of business that is surely the ultimate aim. Clearing the way for Britain to at last and again be in total charge of it’s energy provision. Let’s finally rid ourselves of outside interests from other countries leaching on our energy markets. Let’s stop subsidising other countries and standing by while they benefit from our subsidiaries. Let’s get an energy market that works for Britain and Britain alone.
It could be though of as re-nationalisation by stealth and uses Thatcher’s own policies of market competition to re-nationalise and take Energy Provision back into Public Ownership. This was my idea and it has obviously been taken on by Sir Kier and the Labour Party.
Should the Energy Providers be worried: you bet they should
So should the UK’S Energy Providers should be worried: you bet they should. The public image of these companies are that they are greedy and exploitative and those that endorse them ( the Tories) are tarred with the same brush. It’s time to sweep them aside by taking all their customers by offering a better deal from a government owned Energy Provider working for the benefit of all UK citizens and putting profits back at the disposal of the UK Government. This is Thatcherism in reverse at long last so that the greedy UK Energy Providers get put out of business using the very policies of competition that brought them into being in the first place. At long last Sir Kier Starmer has the clear thinking to finally offer some new thinking to tackle the long entrenched, outdated and discredited policies of Thatcherism. With a little help from me of course.
Third World Britain: a Tory accomplishment all done on their watch
During 12 years of Tory management they have finally managed to turn Britain into a Third World Country. This is Third World Britain. The Tories have turned Britain into a third world country: an all done on their watch. The Tories have turned Britain into a Country where: people could die of hypothermia in the coming winter months, where people cannot find rental accommodation, where students cannot find affordable rents or suitable digs, where people are unable to find homes to rent and cannot afford to mortgages to buy homes. Britain is a country where people can no longer get a dentist, see a doctor or get timely health care. More and more people are relying on food banks. People have to make choices between feeding their families and keeping pets. People are having to make tough choices about heating their homes or eating food. People are seeing their businesses going down. People are being laid off due to the uncertainty that businesses are becoming unprofitable due to overhead costs spiralling out of control. This is Third World Britain. Welcome to Third World Britain a spectacular Tory Party vision and accomplishment.

Baldrick also had a bold and cunning plan: which like Truss’s will come to nothing
As we await the bold plan of the latest installment of the Tory Prime Minister number 4 , Liz Tuss, I am reminded of another bold and cunning plan by Baldrick of Black Adder fame. It might appear that the 2 have something in common with one another with the announcements of both that they have a bold and cunning plan. The similarities might not just end there though because Baldruck’s plans always came to nought and similarly those of Liz Truss’s may have the same auspicious ending as well. I suppose only time will tell. However during the leadership race I was pretty unconvinced by Truss whose wooly thinking often exposed her. I was also not convinced that Truss had any edge at all over Sunak and mostly to the contrary actually I thought Sunak gave the more convincing arguments. Remember that Truss’s plans to alter income tax actually didn’t benefit Pensioners at all. What struck me most about Truss’s win was that there must be a severe lack of any real talent at all in the Conservative Party at the moment if Truss was eventually crowned as the preferred candidate.

Britain, for goodness sake wake up and call for re-nationalisation of the utilities, we need new thinking to tackle problems
What’s wrong with British people? Why are British people so against re-nationalisation of our utilities: our infrastructure? In recent months we have seen how the Energy Providers are exploiting a situation to maximise their profits. We have seen that their actions have led to Inflation and Intertest Rate rises. The time has come to seek to re-nationalise the utilities and in particular the Energy Providers. How long can the British avoid nationalisation of the Energy Companies when it’s starring you in the face as the only solution to deal with Inflation and the ‘ Cost of Living Crisis’. A Tory government will not do this and without it there is not even a single glimmer of hope that a change in the leadership of the Tories will help at all. Liz Truss is a false hope and a mere waste of time. To invest any hope in her to do the right thing will prove to be a costly mistake. Liz Truss can’t be relied upon to do the right thing and nationalise the energy providers in the UK. It’s a blind spot for all Tories and as long as it is then right thing to do will remain undone. So there needs to be a call for the Tories to stand aside so that someone can actually get the job done and do what needs to be done: and that is quite simply to take the energy providers back into public ownership. Re-nationalise the energy providers right now and while we are at it take the railways and the water providers back into public ownership now. And if we can’t re-nationalise these utilities let’s consider squeezing them out of business by introducing a Government sponsored version of the Gad and Electricity providers. If we cannot re-nationalise let’s take public ownership through competition and hence no compensation and a small fraction of the cost of re-nationalising.
It gets more ridiculous: soon the British consumer will be subsidising the French and keeping their energy prices rises limited to only 4%. Yes France is currently re-nationalising their energy company EDF, which operates in the UK. So when consumers in the UK pay EDF their inflated energy prices they will be helping to keep the bills of their French counterparts at a 4% low. So are we British stupid or what?
Britain needs New thinking and New Strategies to deal with Inflation and this ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Britain needs re-nationalisation of it’s utilities
So wake up Britain. Britain needs new thinking, new ideas and new strategies to deal with Inflation and this ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Britain needs re-nationalisation of key industries: particularly the Energy Providers. The Tories are dedicated to protecting these profiteering energy companies. The Tories are the obstacle that we in Britain need to remove to tackle inflation and profiteering by these energy providers in the UK. Britain must demand re-nationalisation of the Energy Providers in the UK. To do this Britain must first push aside the Tories who are protecting them. Tory thinking is dogmatic and stale. Socialist Economic theory offers new thinking and new ideas to offer Britain a fresh start and a more prosperous future for everybody.
Reverse the privatisations of Thatcherism and sign my petitions now. Let’s make Britain a much better place.

Re-nationalise the Energy Providers is the only option to deal with Inflation: the Tories are the only obstacle
It is evident that the only solution to deal with Inflation is to re-nationalise the Energy Providers in the UK: the only obstacle to be removed is the Tories. It is now in the national interest to re- nationalise these Energy Providers to deal with Inflation and to prevent the gross profiteering by these utilities which is against the national interests. Quite simply the current situation is intolerable and is the only factor driving inflation higher and higher. The Tories have lost any control and regulation of the utilities and Ofgen is defunct and unfit for purpose.

Conservative Party’s policies are a Dead-end Street for Britain
The Conservative Party’s policies are finally revealed to be a Dead-end Street for Britain. Their policies and ideas are stagnated and simply not relevant for a Britain struggling to develop and struggling under insurmountable Inflation being driven by the immoral greed and profiteering of the Energy and utilities companies in the UK.
Privatisations have spawned monsters with ideas that they can milk demand to death without impunity or consequences. These monster energy and utilities companies are driven by greed acting outside of the national interests without a conscience or any remorse. There sole purpose being to maximise their profits whilst driving Inflation in the UK higher and higher. No longer restrained by governments they can act outside of concerns like fair pricing for energy and act beyond any national concerns. They even set their own prices and Price Cap (joke) without any government intervention. They are quite simply a law unto themselves. And whose fault is it? Well fault can be traced back over many decades to the ill thought out and possibly illegal sale of the resources to private concerns and profiteers. And who wad to blame for that: well previous and current Conservative governments because they did it and the current Conservative governments continue to endorse it. Privatisation was always going to be a Dead-end Street for Britain and we are now at it upper limits with no where else to go other than backwards to find a brighter future without these shambolic profiteering energy and utilities companies dictating the economic situation and profiteering and causing misery and mayhem thanks to the ill thought out policies of consecutive Tory Governments.

Energy Companies and Utilities are laughing at you all the way to the Bank
The energy companies and the utilities are laughing at you all the way to the bank. As you struggle to meet your fuel and energy bills these companies continue to drive inflation higher and higher whilst maximising their ever increasing profits and paying huge dividends to their shareholders. It is immoral that they are making huge profits and not simply passing on costs to consumers. Instead they are adding huge profit margins to their prices. In this way they are fixing prices and driving inflation without regards. Their behaviour is immoral and wrong. They are exploiting consumers and laughing at them whilst the Tory government does nothing at all.
To tackle inflation you must reel in the profiteering of the Energy and Utilities who are driving inflation upwards for their own ends

3 Conservative Governments elected and all have leaders which failed to complete a full term.
3 Conservative governments and all have failed to deliver a stable Prime Minister who completed the full term. Cameron, May and Johnson.
Putin’s ambition to extend Russia may actually be about controlling World grain supply
Putin’s ambition to extend Russia may actually be about controlling the World’s grain supplies. The invasion of the Ukraine 🇺🇦 may not just be about extending Russian Imperialism but may be about controlling the export of grain. First it was oil and gas and now it appears that his ambition is also to control the food market in the West.
Surely the idea of having Russia potentially controlling the food market should be a warning sign for NATO and the West and perhaps encourage them to go even further to help liberate the Ukraine 🇺🇦 from this monster.
Putin must fail in the Ukraine
NATO must ensure that Putin has no success at all in the Ukraine. It is a duty to ensure that Putin must fail in the Ukraine. Failure is the only way to ensure that Putin looks weak in Russia. Failure will lead to the removal of Putin. NATO must get involved now to ensure that Putin fails in the Ukraine. So far NATO has made too many mistakes in containing Putin’s Nazi ambitions so now is the time for action. Also NATO must quickly enroll the Ukraine into NATO and the EU without delay so that it can legitimately engage its forces against those of the Russians. NATO must do it now before it too late.
Failure to do this signals that NATO is prepared to sacrifice the Ukraine 🇺🇦 in order to retain stability in the West. This attitude allows Putin to legitimately target anyone he wants outside of NATO.
Whilst Putin engages in a game of Poker, destroying lives in the Ukraine : NATO plays a game of Solitaire.
Time to expel Russia from UN
Surely it’s time to expel Russia from the UN. Russia have demonstrated a willingness to breach human rights and are quite prepared to lie to the UN Council. Therefore they are unfit to be in attendance at voting that they can and will veto. It is imperative that the UN acts in support of the non aggressor, in this case the Ukraine 🇺🇦. Russia is clearly unfit to be a part of the United Nations Council therefore it must be expelled. The UN cannot condone a nation that is prepared to tell lies to the Council and is unwilling to address it’s infringements of human rights and what looks like war crimes committed in the Ukraine 🇺🇦. Russia’s presence in the UN is a huge embarrassment which prevents the UN from carrying out it’s intended purpose.
Putin is at war not just with Ukraine but also with Russian citizens
The clampdown on freedom of speech in Russia shows that Putin is not just at war with Ukraine but also with Russian citizens. Putin wants a return to the bad old days of Stalin, ruling with fear and harsh punishments.
Any pretences of an elected democratic leader fell by the wayside this week as Putin revealed to the World and to the citizens of Russia just who he has become: namely a dictator, brutal and ruthless tyrant a new Tsar of Russia willing to defend his privledge and position at any cost, even at an expense to his own citizens. Putin wants to turn Russia back into a military state exerting authoritarian control over it’s own citizens. Much the same as the Tsar. Everything that the Russian Revolution stood for and hoped for is about to reversed and buried as the new Tsar reveals his intentions.

What would Churchill have done to the threat of Putin ?
I think the time has come to ask ‘ what would Churchill have done in response to the threat of Putin? We need a western leader to step up to the bullying behaviour of Putin. Someone who can galvanise Nato against the threat of Putin someone who is prepared to say that enough is enough and willing to make a commitment to support the ideas embedded in the democratic freedoms of the world . Ukraine 🇺🇦 is no match by itself to the overwhelming war machine that Russia is bringing to bear. This is democracy and democratic freedom being crushed by a powerful bully without any support of it’s so called friends who supposedly share the same values. It’s time for a real world leader to step into the shoes of Churchill.
Russia is a disgrace to humanity
Russia is a disgrace to humanity. More especially those in the Russian army acting at the behest of a despotic leader. They should take a long hard look at themselves and turn their tanks around and turn them on their real enemy : those in the Kremlin and their leader.
‘Levelling up’ is just a slogan and a lie to defuse the power of real Socialist Economic Principles
The idea of so called ‘ levelling up’ is just a slogan and a lie made to diffuse the power of real Socialist Economic Principles. This is how the Tories are using it to divide tradional voting loyalties in an attempt to grab power. There is no substance to their claims that they can level up Britain. The Tories are hinting or trying to convince voters that they are offering some form of socialism which simply isn’t true. Using the ‘levelling up slogan and banner is an attempt to steal ground from various political parties with a bona-fide claim to real Socialist policies. The Tories are obviously pretty scarred of socialism and socialist policies which have become increasingly important to the British voters.
How to make Britain Great again
Basically we all get fed up of listening to the news and hearing about violence and the poor state of the British Economy. This article is how to make Britain great again. It is not easy there are no easy solutions to make Britain great again. Tough choices need to be made and even tougher policies need to brought in to tackle the rot of British Society and make Britain great again. How to make Britain great again is not a cosmetic makeover it is a rebuild up with stronger decision making tackling the toughest issues that face Britain today. There are many ways and conflicting opinions about how to make Britain great again and a much nicer place for us all to live in. So what is stopping us striving for and achieving a greater Britain in the future. Here are some of my thoughts about the things that we could put into place now to make Britain great now and achieve an even greater Britain in the future.
Competition is the way forward for the public ownership of Gas and Electricity in Britain
A sure fire way to get the utilities and railways back into public ownership and the less costly way of achieving this.
Yes I admire the ambition of the Labour Party Manifesto and it’s aim to get the Gas and Electricity utilities and railways back into public ownership. Success of this would lead to a more prosperous and fairer Britain and it would be the start of a new era for Britain. Yes it is high time to reverse the failed privatisations of Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and this would be a move which would put Britain on track again. However the scale and the cost of the task is dauntingly enormous and Thatcher knew how difficult it would be to ever go backwards. She tried to make her privatisations irreversible in an attempt to frustrate any attempts to ever develop socialism in Britain. She thought that she had had the final word but despite this there was a fundamental flaw in her plan and one which the Labour Party could exploit if it is savvy enough.
Is Britain a now a classless society or is this just another strategy in British Class Warfare?
Some newspapers and the Tories are trying to convince us that Britain is now a classless society with class mobility to all levels but is this true and in whose interests is it to make us actually believe this? Is this simply a strategy in the ongoing Class War in Britain.
Beware the Sun tabloid newspaper is a Cuckoo in Britain’s Class War
The Newspaper in general may have outlived it’s usefulness. It is after all strongly edited for political bias to represent its own interests and the views of their owners/bosses. Other information is now available and getting heard that is not so strongly censored nor representative of only a small minority. Freedom of speech is now more achievable than ever because of the accessibility of the Internet where some aspects of censorship can be overcome and the voice of both socialism and the youth can now be expressed far more freely than ever before without censorship from powerful newspaper editors. Newspapers have always sought to limit change and to suppress a voice and platform for socialism in Britain. Through censorship or false representation of socialist policies (Loony Left was a derogatory term coined by many of these newspapers to undermine socialist values) they have succeeded in limiting political choice for the masses and this could be viewed as actively sabotaging choice in the political electoral system of Britain by exerting pressures to manipulate political parties to either adopt or curtail political aspirations. One particular newspaper, the Sun tabloid newspaper, has done this whilst attaining mass appeal amongst the working classes whilst subversively encouraging divisiveness in order to prevent any sense of class realisation and class identity whilst also seeking to undermine the institutions which promote the interests of the working classes. This paper the Sun tabloid newspaper and it has been and still remains ‘the Cuckoo of British Class Warfare‘.

How Can this Guitar work at all with this wiring?
How can this wiring even work. It undermines all that I know and understand about how a 5 Way Switch works. From all that i read on Google from various sources this 5 Way switch appears to have been wired up incorrectly. A 5 way switch is supposed to have 2 sides to the switch albeit that this is an imported 5 way where the configuration runs up all on one side. However in principle it operates exactly the same as the original Fender 5 way switches. It has a Part A which are the the first 4 connectors then a Part B which are the next 4 connectors. Both sides are separate so that Part A ends at connector 4. The first 3 connectors are normally connections for pickups starting with Bridge, the Middle than Neck. The 4th connector is a common to all these inputs and is usually used to either take output from the switch to the Volume pot Input. however it can also be used with a bridging wire to connect up both sides of the switch to open up more options for connectivity.
So what is baffling about this wiring is the output to the Volume Pot goes out from Connector 5 on the switch. this should be the Common to the second B Part of the switch. There is no bridging wire being used to connect 4 to 5 so the switch parts remain separate. Therefore Parts A and parts B of the switch remain separated. There should be no signal here to send to the Volume Pot. however before I undertook the breakup of the guitar it was working. So what was making it work because from what I understand about 5 Way switches this was not possible? Can anyone enlighten me. most of the research that I have done on Google supports my assumptions.
This guitar was originally set up with a HSS configuration.
8 months in a Post before a Government reshuffle isn’t even time to read the brief
Sunak’s merry-go-round government reshuffles after only 8 months. That’s just about enough time to read and understand the brief buy hardly enough time to accomplish anything meaningful. Let’s take Grant Chapps as an example when in Boris’ Party he was Business Minister charged with handling the P& O sacking fiasco. I remember tough talk to bring P&O to account for there actions. Then soon after Boris’ leadership collapsed and Chapps was out of a job. P&O were let off the hook and seemingly up until now no real action has been taken. The message the Tories have sent out on that matter is that it’s basically OK for firms to sack their workforces and reinstate them with cheaper workers on temporary contracts the following day. Where is the deterent since it seems that P&O have done this. So despite all the posturing of Grant Chapps HD did nothing. Then he appeared again for a week in Truss’s comedy of errors. Then re-instated in another position by Sunak for 8 months and who can give me any examples of what he achieved there. No Sunak has made him minister for Defence. Unfortunately the departing Minister was very good.
Is Prigozhin an absolute idiot?
Is Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigohzin an idiot? Well it seems so. Anyone who puts their faith in the word of Putin must be an idiot. Instead it seems that this man has signed his own death warrant. If he thinks he will be safe in Belarussia he must be an idiot. His army is being disbanded and this leaves him vulnerable. He has embarrassed Putin and everyone sane knows what that means. A dose of poison is sure coming his way. He surely would have done much better to carry on with his plan to bring Putin down. Now he will be left looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. No other countries outside of Russia would offer this notorious war criminal any sanctuary. Now all he can do is wait for his fate.

Prigozhin has now been confirmed dead. Prigozhin was a fool. Prigozhin was a chump. Prigozhin set in motion a course of events that ultimately led to his death because he lacked the nerve to see them through to the bitter end. By challenging the authority of the Kremlin and then backing down or being talked out of it he had ultimately put a death sentence on his head.
Boris Johnson finally lands in his own shite
Finally we learn what most of us still sane already knew, that Boris Johnson did lie to Parliament about Partygate. Finally it comes to pass that Boris ‘the clown’ finally trips up and lands in a pile of shite of his own making. Now left defending the indefensible Boris is intent upon devaluing the findings of the report and the whole process that reached the truth. Thing is Boris Johnson just cannot accept the truth and wouldn’t recognise it if he stumbled over it in his oversized Clown shoes. Truth is that Johnson never had the integrity to be a Prime Minister in the first place. I can almost see Theresa May smiling from here. Johnson stabbed her in the back to further his own political ambitions. Hope Johnson disappears now and takes off his hard hat and high viz vest and simply fades away. Let’s get back to grown up politics instead of this circus.
