BSkyB bid shelved and papers may be sold?
I s’pose in a way, the parliamentary system wouldn’t work too well, without such a device, though there is a safeguard, allegedly. The abuse of such, whereby a member can be dragged over the coals and made to produce an abject apology. Which in full view of all present, with the full knowledge of one’s contemparies, must be as daunting as a needle sharp cold shower.
Nevertheless a skilful operator can make use of arcane rulings in the chamber and use the system to divert attention from their own shortcomings. In this sense the recent assault on our eardrums, by the leader of the opposition Red Ed, is as disingenuous as it is misleading. He is attempting to assert his authority over his party, by trying to hi-jack the moral hi-ground and cast aspersions at the reputation of his sworn enemy, ‘Call me Dave’.
How does all this relate to the goings-on at News Corp and BSkyB you might well ask too, as a supplementary query, Well it all goes to add fuel to the fire, in respect of the way MPs go about their business and use breaking events for political expediency. They do it to divert attention from their shortcomings, by trying to rubbish the reputation of their opponents.
This is a technique adopted by the former occupant of that well known area known as the ‘Darkness’, inhabited by the so-called Prince of this Darkness who used it to startling effect in the 1990s to turn Tory Snob into a dirty word and make it stick. That it should be wheeled out again in such haste, as the main tool in the re-launch of a stuttering, unhinged, Union backed, ineffective leader of the Labour Party, is about the level we have come to expect, of these so-called Spin Doctors or Manipulators of the Media.
It is so blindingly obvious, for it beggars belief that they can think of nothing more original than try it on, all over again. Was it to succeed, is it possible another bout of Labour’s free-spending attempts to turn UK Plc into some kind of Fabian Socialist Police State would be foisted upon us. Though how it could in any way benefit our historic nation, is a moot point?
We need Freedom, Choice & Opportunity and a re-allocation of the priorities available to the great unwashed. Those in the full flush of ambition and endeavour, attempting to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, but denied opportunity by the reprehensible decay that has beset our education system, with the advent of Comprehensive Education.
This is a system not so far removed from the ideals that led some mis-informed postwar leaders to create the European Iron & Steel Federation and use it as a movement to build a Federal European Superstate, with a one size fits all mentality. Something which in the present endgame is proving to be unsustainable. So thereby lie the fault lines, in both Europe and Comprehensive Education and the sooner we free ourselves of these shackles, the sooner we can make progress and emerge once more on the World Stage, as a nation that can civilise the world by example.
Long live a Free and United Kingdom, as we shake off the shackles of serfdom at the hands of unelected unaccountable Eurocrats and the Comprehensive Education System, which has shackled the innate skills and abilites of post WWII generations. We need a Grammar School and Technical College in every town and city in this Great Britain, in perpetuity.
What we need as a nation most of all though, is a long and sustained bout of FREEDOM, CHOICE & OPPORTUNITY and an end to the MEDDLING, COMPULSION & INCOMPETENCE of new Labour and its successors.
Watch this space, I’ll be back!
