The Postal Vote scandal is beginning to gather momentum. Al Jahom blogs about it over at his.
It would appear NuLabour likes the Postal Vote - It not only allows them to gain plenty of fictitious votes in key marginal seats with imaginery bogus voters - it also means they can deny the vote to that part of society they despise so much. The Armed Forces.
There are British troops who have risked their lives fighting NuLabours many poorly planned wars who will have no say in the next Government. This is obscene. It is not enough to under-equip them. Or to discard them once they are wounded. This disgusting, corrupt and shameful Government now wish to deny some of them their voice in our (pitiful) Democracy.
What was once a beacon across the world has been turned into a Banana Republic by Gordon Brown and his chums. How they must laugh at the growing casualty list - casualties made up mostly of the working class Brown has made it so clear he despises.
It is not enough it would seem to merely break the Military Covenant. NuLabour wish to drag it through the mud, spit on it, bury it and then piss on its grave. As soldiers continue to die - Brown continues his desperate cling to power. How truly sickening the NuLabour experiment has become.
Know what? If I wanted to start a fight, I wouldn't do it against the British Armed Forces.
ReplyDeleteAll it needs is a General to give the word UM
ReplyDeleteUncle Marvo - I fear that you have a point.
ReplyDeleteThe ability to have the front to accuse Mugabe and Hamid Karzai of their sham practise of electioneering is certainly the poy/kettle scenario.
ReplyDeleteWe have no platform to preach to others from now
Completely agree TLOTF
ReplyDeleteNuLab have launched Pre-emptive wars against nations that are no threat and now tinker with Democracy to get the result they want.
A Disgrace...
I'm with you on this CSR but I don't see anyone raising too many hackles in the press. The problem is that we're not 'England' any more so morals are in flux. It will take generations to correct - if at all. England's gone. The message of the day is 'Soldier on and fight for the EU'
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely CSR.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as you rightly say, just one word from a General is all it wants.
I don't think it comes as a surprise to most of us on the right and of a libertarian view. Labour are desperate and the troop vote might just tip the balance in some marginals, so that cannot be allowed by their standards.
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered why our troops are still in Afghanistan and Iraq, could it be that they don't want them home to start a coup?
CSR - don't think that ordinary people haven't questioned why our Armed Forces are so often away fighting wars. It also comes as no surprise to we ordinary people that the Armed Forces postal votes are gone with the wind.
ReplyDeleteThey simply don't care. That's all, they don't care.
