No Loss
Falling on his sword (or just being shoved
against it?) was long overdue after the fascism he's brought to our benefits
system, the waste of Taxpayer's money his various schemes have represented, and
his history of lies and falsehoods - not least his military career, university
career, his qualifications and the inordinate number of wet-wipes he's charged
to the taxpayer...and the underpants!
But he does seem to have cut you and
stabbed George on the way 'down and out'? He was (in my own personal opinion -
shared with thousands!) a sociopath who should never have been given a
ministerial post, but then you're an inadequate cockwomble, so it's no surprise
that he was.!
His resignation letter is amusing but
clearly political, self-serving, and addressed toward historians not yet born
and I assume it has more to do with the EU-referendum than any genuine move by
IDS to give a shit about his fellow citizens?
Still, it's nice to see the cracks are
starting to show in the Tory party, is this the beginning of the end? A
terminal disease the GOP has been snuffling with for 12 years or more? The fact
that even while kept stupid enough to buy (and believe) tabloids, the general,
background IQ of the populace is rising above the need for intolerant,
isolationist parties, of preppy posh boys!
Two Lost Futures
However it wasn't him I wanted to write to
you about today, Prime Minister, but rather the 'deal' done with Turkey. I am a big
fan of Europe; I think we've established that, but this is exactly the type of
thing that gets the EU a bad name and gives ammunition to the tabloid hacks.
Erdoğan is turning into an intolerant,
undemocratic fascist, he's made the situation in Syria worse, he's made
Europe's relationship with Russia even worse that Putin had already managed to
make it, he's declared war on his own people, the media and anyone with a
brain...yet we've turned a blind-eye to it all, in order to get a nonsense deal
done?
To sum the 'deal' up; we send back to Turkey people we don't like the look
of, they get put in camps by the Turks, and we then pay for the camps only to
then agree to take people...from the camps...a sort of 'two hits and you're in'
policy!
Being a liberal I think we should be doing
more, so it's not about the migration refugees it's about the fact that
as Turkey become ever-more de-stabilised, we seem to have just made it easier
for their [Turkish] citizens to get into Europe! That's not a quid-pro-quo moment, that's a WTF
moment.
It's madness, it will be seen as madness,
and - as we approach your referendum - it doesn't help get the truth about Europe across to the bumblebore thickos
down the pub, muttering over their UKIP flyers, the rural hunting-class (with
their Police horses...eh? Prime Minister?), braying on your back-bench like
demented donkeys, or the inbred Slones screeching "frightfully rum"
around Kensington & Chelsea!
Yours etc...
PS - Re: Erdoğan, Syria, Putin, what's happening in Barzil and several African states...it's time we all started working toward a global agreement that no one should represent their country at the highest level for more than two terms of a maximum of five years...it just turns their minds if they have longer to enjoy the power.
