An Englishman Ponders British Politics
Read Time:3 Minute, 6 Second
Britain’s political left has completely lost the plot and it’s causing a mixture of anger and hilarity. The Labour-controlled Welsh Assembly is well ahead of the field in left lunacy with their bizarre imposition on shoppers with regard to Covid-19.
The Labour-controlled Welsh Assembly has decided, in their infinite wisdom, that it is fine to buy a banana but not a hairdryer. Toothpaste is fine but not a coat or a blanket.
Seriously. You are quite safe from contracting Covid-19 if you purchase a cauliflower, but you’re entering high-risk territory if you want to buy a book.
You really, really couldn’t make it up, could you?
Don’t believe me? Fine. Go and look it up on the internet yourselves. The Welsh Assembly is a laughing stock. Well, they are when people get around to laughing at them, rather than wanting to throw them off the nearest cliff in anger and frustration.
Major supermarket chains, in Wales, have been instructed to cordon off, with barriers, areas of the supermarket that sells what The Labour Welsh Assembly deems to be ‘non-essential items’.
Blankets? As winter approaches, blankets are non-essential? Doesn’t look like they are much bothered about the homeless in Wales then. One way to get the homeless figures down. Let them all freeze to death.
The Deputy Leader of the Labour-controlled Welsh Assembly, Jane Hutt, actually said, when asked about kettles, ‘People can get a kettle on Amazon’.
Following on from the demented Welsh left is BLM. Not so affectionately known by many in Blighty as ‘Burn Loot Murder’.
BLM has announced that they are going to stand in elections as a political entity.
Well, that will be a bucket load of lost deposits then.
Still, at least, unlike the lunacy of the Welsh Assembly, this announcement hasn’t caused any anger. Merely much merriment as people debate whether they will be the first political party in history to gain zero votes. Probably not. There will be a few other lunatics that will vote for them I suppose.
In the meantime, it isn’t just Labour, the traditionally left party, that is being looked upon with understandable disdain.
The Conservative government seems to have forgotten they are Conservative and carry on allowing illegal migrants in dinghy’s to land in Britain.
Virtually nothing is known about any of them, yet they are free to wander around the nearest towns to hotels or former military barracks.
On one particularly bizarre occasion, SERCO, the company charged with managing the migrants, hired a stretch limousine to ferry some from the south coast to the midlands.
What Labour and, to some extent, the government seems oblivious to is that the current situation in Blighty is increasingly angering ‘ordinary citizens’. By ‘ordinary citizens’ I mean the vast majority who aren’t overly interested in politics until election day. They are more interested in living their lives. To a large extent, whilst they may identify as Conservative or Labour or, indeed, some other party, they don’t bother getting particularly involved beyond voting.
An increasing number are getting well and truly fed up with it all and, as a result, are beginning to feel disenfranchised from the political party they would normally support.
The more right-wing politicians, such as Nigel Farage, are becoming more and more popular as a result.
The political left in Britain has completely lost the plot. The supposed Conservatives are, at best, beginning to irritate us too much with apparent indecision, or even a seeming inability to make a decision.
Still, unless you happen to live in Wales, at least you can still buy a hairdryer along with the cauliflower. Every cloud and all that.

Ah, Glenn, and Holte, The Peter Principle. Developed by Tom Peters. Popular when I was teaching Organization and Management in Criminal Justice at Alabama. It was both a bit humorous and a serious look at corporate management. Peters was a management consultant who wrote books and lectured corporate leaders about what they were doing wrong. I had a video of one of his lectures and he was really quite good. Very entertaining, and he was correct, but he had no answers for the problems he had identified.
Look at us now. We have finally done the same thing in politics. Trump jumped to the head of the line and never came close to competency and now has made a God awful mess out of everything. He is a sterling example of The Peter Principle.
‘They already had a better life’
What a lowlife callous sh** you really are.
Never mind a basement a cave far away from civilisation
Thanks Michael 😊
More NN BS!
Also farage is not a politician in the UK he failed 7 times to get elected he’s very unpopular except with his far right following.
I’ve just seen a clip of him on a platform with trump praising him to the heavens (kissing his ars- ! or ass for the Americans ). What a deplorable!
No wonder he appeals to NN 🙄
Cherries : The Labour controlled Welsh Assembly are a laughing stock. There’s nothing wrong with trying to fight Covid, but their ‘non-essential’ list is lunacy.
All deaths are tragic, but they already had ‘a better life’ in France. Oh. Of course. Forgot. More free hand outs here.
No idea why Farage is involving himself with Trump. Over here his popularity is certainly rising due to his highlighting the illegal migrant debacle.
Incidentally. The political right is growing fast in Blighty, simply as a backlash to years of PC bull.
We’ve had enough love, and, one way or another, we’re taking our country back.
Never mind. You can always go live in the EU eh?
It’s nice n warm in the basement Mike 😉😁
Neil, it looks like ‘Cherries’ has your number old bean! Better stay in that basement 🙂
P.S. I didn’t know that Wales was its own country, well ‘almost,’ so I did my research and Cherry is right. Also didn’t know Wales really wants to sever ties between them and the British government. Research is a wonderful thing. Thanks, Cherries 🙂
Erm thought NN had disappeared 🤔 but no 🙄 and I think he’s definitely lost the plot!
Same old stuff apart from now it’s also about a small country Wales which is part of the UK. Why? It’s got a Labour government! They’re trying to stop the rapidly growing increase of the coronavirus in their small country.
Obviously NN even thinks extreme right wing Farage (not an elected politician) is right!
No one else does only his right wing followers you can imagine what sort of people are attracted to people like that. He’s a friend of trump says all you need to know!
On the day when at least 4 people died, including two young children, trying to cross the English Channel risking their lives hoping for a better life it’s particularly sickening reading his same old nasty diatribe.
Glenn / Holte : I’ll be in the basement then 😉🤣🤣🤣
If I remember correctly, The Peter Principle was written as a satire, then people took it seriously, because it made valid points about promotions within large companies. Efficient on the 5th floor, a fish out of water on the 7th.
I get your point Glenn. I agree with it. Does that make me as smart as you? I think I’ll stay on the 5th floor.
Back in the late 60s, a book called The Peter Principle” was published. It talked abou how, in a business hierarchy, an employee would keep rising until that employee reached the point where his competence became insufficient. Failure through success. I don’t know whether that ‘principle” still gets any respect, but perhaps it’s also a factor in other types of evolution including our own. Has our species created a society in which we are no longer capable of rational, cohesive, thought? The world seems to have gone ’round the bend but maybe that’s because we now have more bends in that road than we used to. We are drowning in theories, hypotheses, philosophies, codes and viewpoints while we are less and less able to apply critical thinking and we become with the mastodons. We can’t look to priests and prophets and while science has advanced beyond our understanding, we can no longer understand it. Rather than admit our incompetence, we find websites to confirm our dumb ideas and allow us to claim that no, it’s the other guys who are full of it. No, medicine is wrong, science is wrong facts are wrong and you can’t challenge me – I have this website, this world famous pundit on the internet. . .
