This solves nothing

The Conservative party have launched their policy for English votes on English laws. Only it isn’t that. It’s a cop out. Scottish MPs will still get to vote on all legislation. The only difference being is that they can’t vote on it at committee stage. This policy solves nothing.

What we need is real English devolution. This won’t lead to the end of the union and if it does then the union must be in a fragile state through successive government misrule and should maybe end if it’s that fragile.

Conservative ups and downs

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the conservatives these last few weeks. They have had some good ideas and they have also had their MEPs shown as corrupt and fleecing the taxpayer for everything they can.

They have finally had a good idea concerning education. They want to allow private companies to run schools in the way that Sweden does. The Swedish education system works so it is a fantastic policy which I have liked for a long time. It’s about time we adopted it in this country.

Unfortunately for the Conservatives they have been exposed as cheats swindling the taxpayer. More than half of their MEPs have refused to comply with rules requiring them to reveal how they spend our money. These people should not have a choice in the matter. They are supposed to work for our interests. We are the ones who pay them. We need transparency to stop sleazy politicians taking us for mugs.

Boris caught lying

Boris Johnson promised a lot during the election campaign for London mayor and it not seems that he is already going to break atleast 2 of those promises.

During the campaign he said that he would work flat out if he was elected but two weeks into his term he has already went on holiday. He can’t have worked that hard.

Thanks to the BNP he has been exposed lying to pensioners. He promised all retired pensioners a 24 hour ‘travel freedom’ pass. When Richard Barnbrook asked about when he would actually give them the pass he put the date back to next year, probably hoping by then it would have been forgotten about so he wouldn’t actually have to give it out.

Conservatives miss the point

Immigrant workers and foreign-born citizens who struggle to speak English will be denied benefits unless they accept language lessons, under plans unveiled by the Conservatives.

In a hard-hitting speech, Chris Grayling, the shadow work and pensions secretary, plans to set out the party's detailed proposals for tackling unemployment.

He will argue that the employment rate for some ethnic minority groups is below the national average, saying that "serious steps" need to be taken to address the problem.

Speaking English will be an "essential" requirement, with job centres and voluntary groups offering language lessons to those whose prospects are hampered by an inability to communicate.

This is a good idea but it solves nothing. Immigrants should not be given benefits in the first place unless they are citizens of this country and they should fund their own English classes. Infact the only way to reduce unemployment is to stop immigration so that people can actually get a liveable wage for making rich people richer.

If businessmen are unwilling to pay a decent wage I couldn’t care less if they went out of business. Workers deserve a wage which they can live on.

Tories pledge to send jobless youths to bootcamps

Jobless youngsters would be sent to employment ‘boot camps’ after three months on the dole under Tory plans.

Claimants between 18 and 21 would have to attend intensive courses run by charities and private firms in compiling CVs, job interview techniques and workplace skills.

Those still without work after a year would be forced to pick up litter, clean graffiti or carry out other tasks in the community in return for their £46.85-a-week handouts.

Anyone who refuses to comply will lose the money.

This is actually a decent policy from the Tories, however you have to stop large scale immigration first. People don’t want to work just to put a roof over their heads. They want to have enough money to be able to go out and enjoy themselves and while immigration pushes down wages they won’t be able to do that.

So first immigration must be stopped then young people who are out of work should be sent to these camps. If they refuse to go they can starve. It is up to them.

Conservatives will be unelectable

Are the Conservatives trying to lose the next election? They have come up with the most half baked environmental policies. Do they really think we are so stupid that we will vote for these idiots? Under their proposals families would be forced to turn their houses green before being given permission to carry out loft conversions or conservatory extensions.

The government have yet to nationalise homes so the government should have no right telling us when we can renovate our home. Until they nationalise our homes they should shut up especially if they want to be elected.

Another policy that they are thinking about is turning street lights off at night. What are street lights for? Are they supposed to be left on during the day? If they aren’t left on during the night why would we need them? Has he given any thought to what it would cost local councils to achieve this?

With these policies the Conservatives will be unelectable and we will have even longer of the nation wrecking policies of Labour.
