Socialist is non-extreme

Being on the left is being on the right side of history. Socialism is not extreme, it is not communism, it is not geographical, it is simply giving every person within our country, and hopefully someday our world a fair chance to live a safe , healthy and happy life.
Its recognising some need a safety net, especially the vulnerable, the chronically sick, the disabled, and ensure our human rights are treated as inalienable, our for ever and cannot be removed.
Do not be decieved The Labour Party is no longer socialist, they do not have the values i have laid out.
Socialism may be at time informed by scholars, but not defined by them. Being able to quote Marx does not make a socialist.
Socialism is not extremism, when you become extreme left you are at the very least using communism, which is an idealogy that in a world without greed, a world without people wanting recognition and power would maybe work, but we live with human nature, so such a world cannot exist, but Socialism can. The extreme of extreme meets the extreme of extreme right, and that is about stripping rights, putting people into boxes, about discrimination, suspicion and hate.
Extremism, whether political, religious or cultural should have no place in our world.
There should be no extremely rich or extremely powerful people in our world
There should be no rulers, just democratic leaders who truly are accountable to the people for their actions.
If we take hate, discrimination and division out of the political and biased media tool boxes, people truly will/would see that socialism is about humanity, not greed, but not naivety either.
It is not giving the lazy a free ride, it is not about corruption and greed, thats all capitalism.
The problem currently is the fear mongering being touted by the ‘extreme’ right of “immigrants”. People scared “our country” will be overrun. The people that believe this also believe Britain is a purely “white” country, and many that Britain is simply England.
Sadly I have to tell these people, you are totally wrong. Britain has since humans could travel by water and even before there was water separating the continents been multicultural, multitribal before that.
The majority of people in the UK have genetics that prove their ancestors were not solely from the British Isles.
The Union Flag (often mistakenly called the Union Jack) is mad up of all 4 recognised nations of Britain.
The flag would not likely exist without the blood, sweat, tears and sadly lives of people from all over the globe that fought for what was the British Empire. These people were not just white, English, or even white British.
Britain has had waves of people entering it throughout history, the main migrations, some by force, were the Romans, the Vikings, the Norman’s, the Windrush generation, but also people who worked for or served under Britain not just from Empire (now Commonwealth) countries, but also allied powers, in time of war.
Many of the current migrants are running from war, from terror, from death, they are refugees and have a right to request support.
Economic migrants have to meet conditions to remain.
People coming into the UK through non-official channels usually will be returned to their country of origin unless they meet the requirements to remain.
No immigrants, refugee or migrant get benefits until their official status is approved. They get a basic allowance to survive. They cannot work legally until they have proved that they have a right to. Sadly some companies and employers ignore that, and will often pay under minimum range (slave rates) and not declare them.
So before ypu believe all you read in the press, don’t just take my word, go do a little research h for yourself

Enough Death and suffering. Stop Israel NOW

I try to temper my writing with emotion, but this picture has made me so upset, angry and frustrated.

Needless suffering of an innocent child

Poverty should never happen, starvation should never happen, plague should never happen, we live in a world where in reality technology and opportunity could give all a good standard of living, the only thing that stops it are other people.
This child is not a victim of drought or natural disaster, though many are, but this dying child is a victim of religion, of zionism, of hate, of an out of control rogue state, this child, who at this age has lost all hope in his eyes, lost all imagination beyond the pain and suffering being endured before his brief life leaves his ruined body.
Natural disaster can be dealt with in a world where we see humans as humanity and not constructed foes, but this is a whole different level of suffering. This child is dying by design. The cause of death is simply cruelty and evil.
This child has hurt no one, his only issue was being born in Palestine.
If this is a result of religious belief, if this is done in any gods name, well I truly will always be happy to be atheist.
Our vile government could have stopped this. Keir Starmer could have refused to support, supply and enable Israel. The Labour Party MP’s could revolt against their corrupt zionist leader, they could stop this. Why in hell are they letting it continue. Why are they allowing this and all the other children to suffer and die.
And if we dare protest, if we dare show humanity, we are arrested by the police forces serving what now truly is the basis of a fascist state.
None of this is right. You wave flags on D-Day, on VE-Day on VJ-day, on Rememberence Day, yet you forger Why our families fought and died in WW2. You wave your flags and forget that genocide is wrong. You wave your flags and see these people as subhuman. You wave your flags and fail to understand that this all is fascism, the basis of the Nazi Third Reich building again, that this is exactly what world war two was fought to stop.
You say you are proud of being British, but then stand by when our rights to protest and stop this mass murder are stripped from us by Keir Starmer and his corrupt cabinet, funded by the very people deliberately killing these kids.
We need to stop this suffering in our world, and do it now. No person or countries should be allowed to do this.
Remember the RAF are supporting and supplying the forces torturing these people. They do it in our bloody names.
Stop it now!

Nuclear vs Disability

2,733 miles between London and Tehran.

1,325 miles between London and Kyiv

1,554 miles between London and Moscow

2,233 miles between London and Tel Aviv

 

2,220 miles range of an F35A

2,900 miles range of a Typhoon

 

The British Royal Navy / Royal Air Force bought 138 F35B’s for use with the two fleet carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

However, it is stated in an article published in February this year, (19fortyfive.com by Steve Balestrieri), that “Aircraft availability is a persistent issue. The UK has built its carrier designs around the F-35B and its air superiority and strike capability. However, procurement delays, maintenance issues, and rising costs have impacted the numbers present. Only a handful of the 138 F-35Bs ordered for purchase are fully operationally available.”

There is little difference between the F35A and F35B, both being variants of the same aircraft.

The F35 development has never lived upto expectations, we bought into it for political reasons not because it was going to be superior to anything that Britain and its European partners could build.

The F35 was sold to us as a next generation stealth jump jet, however it really isn’t. If it takes off vertically, or goes supersonic  it burns away it’s stealth shielding. 

The planes are difficult to maintain and are not very reliable.

The F35 cannot match the F22 fighter, but the USA will not sell us the F22, even though we are supposed to be their allies.

A brief history lesson, Britain developed Vtol (vertical take off and landing) aircraft, from the trials of the flying bedstead, to the amazing Hawker Siddley Harrier and Sea Harrier. The Harrier was the most versatile aircraft realistically that the RAF and the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm ever had. They were used in actual combat during the Falklands war, and other than accidents no aircraft were lost to enemy action.

They were so good that we then let an American company, Mcdonnell Douglas build them under license.  The United States Marine Corps still use them today, and when we supposedly were mothballing ours (putting them into storage) some ridiculous British politician agreed to give them all to the USA to use for spare parts.

So the one other aircraft the navy could use off these poorly designed carriers were given away.

Sadly another (or even the same) politician removed the steam catapult capability when we were building our two carriers, to save a couple of million quid, meaning that the Typhoon fighters that Britain are building with our European partners cannot be used.

We also had Tornado aircraft that the RAF used so well, that American pilots flying alongside them were in awe at the plane and skill of its pilots 

The Tornado excelled in both Gulf wars, and outclassed all in its ground attack role. flying faster than  the speed of sound, over terrain at below 200ft.

There will be folk arguing that it was outclassed by other more modern fighters, however at low level it truly wasn’t, and it’s stand off weapons could deal with other air threats that were way over the horizon. The Tornado could carry almost all types of weapons systems.

So again we retired British built planes in favour of substandard American ones.

As for Stealth? Well we as a British Air Industry lead the world in that too, by accident more than design, the Vulcan Atomic Bomber (Britain’s Nuclear deterrent) gave the radar signature akin to an armchair.

Instead of our consecutive governments, since Thatcher’s asset stripping of UK industry, actually investing in British technology, research and manufacturing, they have given everything away to the USA. I won’t say sold, because we profited from very little of it.

Now I am not saying we as a nation should be proud of our military might and expertise, far from it, but as a sabre rattling nation we are truly a joke.

Starmer is currently telling us he is investing more in nuclear deterrents, but the one we have, Trident, is a US system, one that can only be used with American consent, cannot be aimed at the USA or their allies, which currently we wouldn’t want to do, I agree, but given Trumps irrational behaviours, it may one day be the case. We pay America rent, to put their weapons on our submarines.

So Starmer now is stating we will be buying American missiles, to place on defective American supplied planes, to be fired at American nominated targets.

In Britain today with have people living in abject poverty, yet instead of investing in our people, we have yet another Primate Minister shouting at the world, likely, I believe,  under instructions of his paymasters in Israel, in the USA, in Russia too, whilst using fascist policies to cut funding and support to the absolute most vulnerable in our society. Branding sick and disabled people as scroungers, fraudsters, lazy and useless. That Mr Starmer is truly hate crime, and breaks so many UK and international laws, and then placing the entire country in peril,  under the instruction of foreign powers is in my humble opinion High Treason.

Mr Starmer and his Cabinet of soulless creatures need removing from power. They already are taking lives, but just how far are these, in my considered opinion, corrupt people, actually prepared to go?

Will you and your family next?

 

Health me or the country

I don’t know if I agree with the farmers reasoning or not, but I do agree with their right to protest, I agree that they and us should be listened to, and truly think that only direct action is even remotely viable as a form of protest with this basically neo-nazi excuse for what should be a Labour government. 

This government has after years of corrupt, cruel and murderous consecutive Conservative governments only sought to expand on the vile policies of the Tories and their bosses. It used to be the British Establishment calling the shots but now this bunch of traitors have added Mossad and Israel to its list of masters. That is absolutely Treason in the plainest of terms. #Labour #government #Fascism #hate

My current state of health according to the recent tests and my doctors insistence of me being in hospital, which I am resisting, means I am in no way certain of a tomorrow,  but I vow I will use my words to fight these vile creatures to my very last breath, whether that be later today or more likely with a little luck, in many years to come.

 Dramatic in the extreme, I know, however that’s my reality, I am told,  for today. I cannot keep a silence in the face of such continued wrongdoing. That is not my way.  If I do recover from this latest episode, which I am more than confident I will, despite the worried voices of my doctors,  I vow I will fight for people in any possible. 

Change the old way

I just responded to a friend about how we now are isolated.  My view is that in the old days <before t’web> we would all meet in the pub and put the world to rights.  Covid and lockdown was the last nail for many pubs, so now it’s social media, which is openly watched, monitored and censored by the very people making the world wrong.
We cannot organise anything using mobile phones, computers, WhatsApp,  Facebook, X or any other platform. I am sure folk will bring up yge fabled “dark web”, but that’s not accessible to all, and I truly doubt anywhere near as secure as even the most gifted hacker (or nerd as I call them) would like to think.
I am sure there are sites that are not that easy to access for some security forces, but in the UK we have GCHQ, along with countless information security companies that will seek out any subversion and sell the info to whoever it benefits most.
I think it more likely there is a man in the moon who has been staying down upon us for eons, than there being a “safe place” on the Internet.
If you ever were a member of certain groups like SWP, ANL, AFA, ALF or even CND, of you were ever a steward for NUM, or any once thought of ‘radical union’ you wi have a file on you held by MI5 or some other secret government department.
If you ever voiced concern or ire over Israel, then Mossad will likely know of you. If you criticised the USA ……well
You get my point.
Anything you post will be monitored somewhere. Key words will trigger closer supervision and even control. Anything that may actually work to undermine the cruelty and corruption prevalent in the British Establishment could cause a knock upon your door, and if you were to be deemed a serious enough threat to them a holiday of undisclosed duration could be incurred.
That’s I believe why many are actually fearful of even commenting on any political post, whether they agree with it or not. They see even a like to be enough to be noticed.
Remember fear is the greatest tool for right wing government and their Establishment masters.
So when people talk about arranging a march, going on a demo, the police, the security services already have discussed it with the Cabinet and devised a plan to minimise it. It is why the only chance of revolutionary change will come from a single spark, not from an organised group.
A simple incident can ignite flames, but without true leadership soon they will be doused.
Moss Side, Toxteth and Brixton riots in the 80’s could have brought about real change, they did give rise to some positives, but there was only a general focused, nothing led in such away that it would truly change people’s perceptions.
I was a 14yr old teenager sitting in the back of my parents car, driving through Brixton as it began. I actually saw the spark, the police officers randomly attacking people as they left different pubs, or were simply walking down the street. Men and women being the victims, several police officers surrounding one person and beating them. At 14yrs old I had my first lesson of breach of trust. I saw the police in their true colours,as tools of the Establishment and absolute bullies, protected by not ethics or morality, just a black uniform.  In 1983 at 16yrs old, I was part of a strike/demonstration in Warrington. The print workers were in dispute with Eddie Shah, here I was with all the other pickets and supporters charged at by mounted police, corralled by riot shields, had brazers physically thrown at us, the crowd, by uniformed police. This was my second and never forgotten lesson in regard to British police.
Since then I have had the displeasure of having to work with many officers who hold the same attitude as these officers presented, including a very recent incident.
There are good officers, I know some, but there are still now a huge number that should never be trusted.
And they are but the foot soldiers of an extremely cruel and corrupt political system in the UK.
So in effect, unless we go back to how people organised before the Internet, word of mouth, small meetings, trusted groups, change will never happen. Whilst people are convinced by the Daily Mail, the SUN and Tiktok, no one will join.
If we want to hold onto hope of change, we need thinkers, we need leaders that can out think the huge teams emoted to keep us in our place.
So far I just see the moral and ethical, the good folk, squabbling amongst themselves, and the political representatives and their true masters lying back and laughing with their martini’s in hand.
Jonesy.
