Social Engineering & its Impact on Society

It is clear that young men and boys are losing their identity, together with their proper role in society, as the direct result of political correctness and social engineering, which has resulted in the increasing feminisation of our society.

From the earliest age, boys are aware that all authority figures are women, starting with mothers in the proliferation and popularisation of single-parent families, and the almost 100% staffing levels of women teachers in schools.

Add to that the high female staffing levels in all public services; the unfair positive discrimination in the appointment of women to senior positions (mostly Chairman) in Quangos, the running of prisons, the Police Services, the Armed Forces, Medicine, Law , and not least - the hopelessly biased left-wing liberal BBC, with female faces & voices dominating our television and radio services.

It's time it stopped, and it's time for governments to stop pandering to the so-called rights of vociferous minorities, and started heeding the opinions and wishes of the usually silent majority. 'Dave' and his new chums quite clearly don't have the steel to tackle the real problems in British society, and will clearly prove to be part of the escalating problem rather than the wise correcting impartial leaders they should be.

What is clear, is that someone needs to address the problem before it is too late - if it isn't already past the point of no return!

Update ...

My initial enthusiasm for blogging has been severely blunted; I had expected it to be a reciprocal social activity, with comments, good or bad, from people who read my modest contributions encouraging me to contribute more.

This has not happened and the reality is that it is an exercise in futility to be writing reams only to be enjoyed (or otherwise) by oneself! Obviously there is an art to getting one's contributions widely circulated and accessible, but that art continues to elude me, and I am left disappointed and not a little frustrated.

Is there anybody there?

Sigh ...

Is there any point in voting at a General Election?

Given that most parliamentary candidates have to be approved by their political party hierarchies, it will be apparent that their loyalties to their constituents and their party are likely to be somewhat divided at the very outset.

Once they are elected and become a constituency Member of Parliament (MP), that distinction becomes ever more tenuous, given the 'presidential' style of government that has developed since New Labour came into power in 1997.

The Prime Minister (PM) is elected by his fellow Party MPs and the electorate have no say in who is appointed to that powerful office of State. The PM then appoints his Cabinet from among his MPs, and those selected Cabinet Ministers rely entirely on the patronage and goodwill of the PM for their tenure of office - and their future careers.

Government policy is largely formulated by the PM and his close advisers, who often are not Cabinet Ministers, or indeed - even MPs, and so-called 'spin doctors' abound. Much government policy thus formulated is rubber-stamped by the Cabinet, and passed to the Whips' Office with clear instructions to 'ease its passage' through the House.

The MPs of the majority party then dutifully troop through the lobby to which they have been directed by the Whips, and lo and behold Government policy is duly enacted.

Now how much of that procedure is to do with your local MP representing your wishes as a constituent? Well, in essence, it's about as much as twice times the square root of bugger all, but that is how it works and sadly, that is the 'democracy' in which we live.

So, 'is' there any point in voting at a General Election? No, not really; they won't take notice of anything thing we say, and we have to rely almost entirely on the Press to draw their failings to their attention, to have any influence on them at all.

The whole grubby self-serving system wants overhauling, and what better time to do it than now, following the 'pigs-in-troughs' expenses scandal, it must be out with the old and in with the new, including new parliamentary procedures - which serve the electorate and not the elected!

It's better than hurling abuse at the television!!

I've actually surprised myself by starting this blog, as it is not something I ever envisaged doing. However, I really am finding it something of a release and not a little therapeutic.

In the normal course of events the daily newspapers and the television news channels, have me alternating between laughter and slavering rage. Some of the news articles are so ludicrous that the natural reaction is to burst out laughing. On the other hand, some are so outrageous that they set the adrenaline racing, so much so that the red mist appears and the large vein at the temple begins to throb.

So instead of putting a foot through a very expensive wide-screen TV, I thought perhaps I might vent my spleen here, where some like-minded souls might be comforted in the knowledge, that it's not just them that are thoroughly hacked off at what has happened to our once great country.

Civil Partnerships are not Marriages

For the purpose of clarification a civil partnership is not a marriage. Marriage is a formal and legal relationship enjoyed by a man and a woman only.

Civil Partnerships are an arrangement by two people who by law are not related or entitled to be married and are of the same sex. Many of the privileges accorded to married people are conferred upon the two partners in a civil partnership, in order that they may organise their personal affairs so as to legally protect the other partner's interests, particularly in the event of death.

Despite the popular press attempting to blur the distinction between the two 'social' contracts, none more so than in the high-profile entertainment industry, marriage remains uniquely a girl/boy relationship.

His high and mighty lordship

Can anyone explain to me how this discredited politician has been allowed to acquire the powers he currently exercises, given that he has not been elected to any office by the electorate of the United Kingdom?

Not only does he hold a number of powerful government portfolios but he is also widely acknowledged as the de facto deputy prime minister. Can this possibly be right in what is supposed to be a democracy?

Where next? Can Mandy succeed the Queen, with his rhumba specialist boyfriend as Consort? Too fanciful? Well his spectacular rise to prominence is already something of a 'fairy' story, so the sky's the limit!

Where will it all end?

On Growing Old

On Growing Old
by: John Masefield

Be with me, Beauty, for the fire is dying;
My dog and I are old, too old for roving.
Man, whose young passion sets the spindrift flying,
Is soon too lame to march, too cold for loving.
I take the book and gather to the fire,
Turning old yellow leaves; minute by minute
The clock ticks to my heart. A withered wire,
Moves a thin ghost of music in the spinet.
I cannot sail your seas, I cannot wander
Your cornland, nor your hill-land, nor your valleys
Ever again, nor share the battle yonder
Where the young knight the broken squadron rallies.
Only stay quiet while my mind remembers
The beauty of fire from the beauty of embers.

Beauty, have pity! for the strong have power,
The rich their wealth, the beautiful their grace,
Summer of man its sunlight and its flower.
Spring-time of man, all April in a face.
Only, as in the jostling in the Strand,
Where the mob thrusts, or loiters, or is loud,
The beggar with the saucer in his hand
Asks only a penny from the passing crowd,
So, from this glittering world with all its fashion,
Its fire, and play of men, its stir, its march,
Let me have wisdom, Beauty, wisdom and passion,
Bread to the soul, rain when the summers parch.
Give me but these, and though the darkness close
Even the night will blossom as the rose.
