Just to prove David Starkey was talking rubbish about we don't have a separation of powers. From the liberty judgment (and don't forget what the Queen said in 1988 to parliament). "115. The principles of Parliamentary sovereignty and the separation of powers have their genesis in the common law and it the duty of the courts to protect those principles. In Miller II the Court stated that deciding an issue of legality: “34. … will not offend against the separation of powers. As we have just indicated, the court will be performing its proper function under our constitution. Indeed, by ensuring that the Government does not use the power of prorogation unlawfully with the effect of preventing Parliament from carrying out its proper functions, the court will be giving effect to the separation of powers.” The issue under Grounds II and III is whether those constitutional principles are violated when the Executive uses a statutory power to make subordinate legislation for an object and purpose which it has earlier failed to achieve by primary legislation." The won on this point - separation of powers. Her Majesty the Queen made a declaration to BOTH house of parliament on 20th July 1988 stating the independence of the Judiciary is the corner stone of our constitution. paraphrasing. Betty Boothroyd said similar to the courts in 1993. Ashby vs White 1703 was about the right to vote and enforcing separation of powers (you cannot be a Judge in your own cause, ENGLISH maxim. Full Judgement from the archives NOT online.

That’s because the authors were in the club. Eric Blair (George Orwell) was introduced to the Fabian Society by Aldous Huxley, writer of Brave New World. There, Orwell learned the elite’s future plans. So he wrote a novel that’s supposed to be fiction. Orwell didn’t predict anything. He saw the script: cashless society; mass surveillance; world government etc. He named his novel 1984 as homage to the Fabian’s centenary. The real year is around now.

Echoing Trevisio here, many people think 1984 describes the Eastern Bloc and the Soviet Union. That is true but more importantly it describes everyone else, especially the West. It is not politicians use 1984 as a textbook. It is more of 1984 describing how politicians of every corner of the globe operate.

We failed at the AV referendum because we fail at public discourse. Why? Because the media are owned and controlled by the elite class. So it's impossible to actually discuss issues in the mainstream. AV's opponents declared "one man one vote, as our grandparents fought for" and framed AV as a chance for the "losers" to "cheat". arguments in favour of AV were buried because they couldn't simplify the benefits enough to be able to land a point through our mediated media channels into our declining attention spans.

At it's core it's not a bad piece of legislation - it enshrines in law the rights of people who are a bit different to not be singled out and treated differently/poorly because of characteristics that are immutable. The issue with the Equality Act, just like with Human Rights and some others, is it leaves space for bad actors to manipulate it to their own nefarious ends. Law needs grey areas to allow for legitimate unforeseen events to be judged, but it is these spaces in which the duplicitous operate too!

Well done to Dr David Starkey in being able to identify what has gone wrong in the UK and point to a solution.
We have had 50 years of Hayek and Friedman and guess why the western world is in a mess. Poverty levels rising incomes falling, and the disaster of the global economy. Friedman and Hayek opposed Keynes which produced the highest standards of living never seen before, and its reversal by the policies of Hayek and Friedman or the Mont Perlin Group to which they belonged, has destroyed everything that was good in this country. All we are left with now is the claim its all down to migrants. Blaming minorities for the actions of Neo-Liberal politicians is the classic scapegout and the road to chaos. New Labour, LIbdems and Tories are all in it together following the very diktats Starkey is saying is the problem.

In February the by election in Knaresborough and Wellingborough recorded data which showed 83pc of the electorate did not vote for the Labour candidates who romped home.
What we saw under Blair was the triumph of the Fabian Long March Through the Institutions which Blair celebrated by dedicating the Fabian Stained Glass Window paid for by George Bernard Shaw in 2010 and which displays their then ambition to destroy English sovereignty and replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship. Orwell was at one time a Fabian and 1984 is a warning against their actions rather than as claimed condemnation of the Soviet Union.
The problem is nobody is listening to the people and worse, Brexit and Covid opened the charade to the entire populace. or at least to those that care.

They're not giving us choices
A brilliant speech, shining a light on the manipulations of politics and the present demise we find ourselves unwittingly drawn into.
There are more than 2 parties! If everyone showed their disatisfaction by voting a for a completely different party even if they dont like them, it would show a stand of we are not happy and want change and better treatment. You need to vote for something completely different and get rid of the plonkers who think its a 2 horse race.
Vote reform UK. We need to change things.
So, election-wise, the UK finds themselves "stuck between a rock and a hard place". Never fun.

I believe Starmer was selected for his blandness. his job is to trickle along till the election without anyone saying anything that would upset... the unions, students, NHS staff, the immigrant population, LGBTQ etc. To upset any one of these blocks of voters could cause some or all of them to vote against Labour. Hence his and his chums being careful not to commit to any opinions. Meanwhile, having created many diversions, Blair and Mandleson get on with the real job, cooking New Labour The Sequel.

BLiar was nothing more than an opportunistic charlatan. He's actually of aristocratic lineage, there's the Blair Athol estate in Perthshire. He was educated at Fettes College, the Scottish equivalent of Eton. Blair was probably molded into the creature he became at this serpentine institution. He became an MP in 1983, aged 29 following a brief career in law in which, he never passed the B.A.R. exam. I believe the marriage to Cherie Booth was more than likely orchestrated to make BLiar appear 'working-class'. She was just another opportunistic entity who knew that her husband would go far in politics (She never truly liked her humble roots). Now, the matter of John Smith's death. Highly suspicious if you ask me. The Establishment had already begun the infiltration of the Labour Party since Kinnock's tenure but Smith wanted to retain unions, worker's rights, secure borders and less control from Brussels. The Establishment didn't like this. Smith's convenient death in 1994 opened the door for BLiar and the rest is history.

Ooh. Melodramatic righty comment of the day.
In 1976 I went on a school trip to Russia, designed to improve our language skills. I encountered the 2 tier system David talks about, the fear in the faces of the school escorts when asked a question, looking to the daughter of the party member for the nod to speak. It was winter, we couldn't get fruit, we mentioned it and the daughter of the party member produced a sack of oranges, only offered to the visitors, not the Russian students. Life was good for a very few......now it will be those who get the first strangle hold on the rest of us.
My suspicion of Blair was creating all these human rights due to his wife being a human rights lawyer. How convenient and they both became millionaires

Ask anyone in your street if they are happy? What a miserable greedy violent world we live in.
Weakness of government has led us to this point coupled with the lack of understanding of our recent history and how our society was created since the magna carta. Most politicians are uneducated and inept particularly those in the labour party who are almost to a man entirely inexperienced. As Peter Hinkins recently commented 'because a government is percieved as incompetent they may not actually be doing any harm and as such should not be excluded from continuing.' Change for the sake of it which appears to be coming will be catastrophic for the UK!

So, we have the current government, which is dreadful. Then we have a potential Labour government, which is just as dreadful. Reform is an alternative, but because of our voting system, it's unlikely they will get more than a few MP's. We really are screwed this time. What the hell does the average person do in this situation ? This is pie in the sky thinking, but it would be nice if we could have a government which actually put the country first, not themselves.

Our history is not the same as the history of America and yet the conflation of the two is one of the things which has led to our current nightmarish situation and the rise and rise of victimhood, tribal loyalties and the loss of freedom speech. Keir Starmer is planning on building on the Blair legacy with more of the same e.g a new blasphemy law specifically in response to Muslim demand. Terrifying.
