AI- Why Humans must fight back

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.

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.

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

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.

‘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.

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.

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‘.

Socialism is better for Britain. Socialism is neither Communism nor Militant

Socialism is better for Britain. Socialism offers Britain  a New start and a shining new path towards prosperity. Socialism is better for Britain  because it lowers the burden of taxation on tax payers. So why aren’t we embracing it.

How Can this Guitar work at all with this wiring?

HSS Wiring on a Cheap Stratocaster Copy. This wiring uses a 5 Way Switching Mechanism
How can this wiring work at all?

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.

Updated 31/08/2023

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.
