Today, 15 July 2021 we have a report about the way we are farming and eating. It is not doing us any good nor the environment.
On Monday our idiot of a Prime Minster will tell us “don’t have to wear a mask” whereas the day before you do have to.
A Prime Minister that pretends to be a believer in liberty as long as you do not protest about your removed freedom of speech.
We have an NHS with 5m on the waiting list, growing numbers of coronavirus cases, and waiting for more to come in the next few months. Meanwhile a Health Secretary that wants to privatise it more, not just the ambulance service and private hospitals. He wants to pay nurses 1% more when inflation is running at 2.5%.
WE have more food banks than McDonalds. We have rampant racism as seen in Brexit and football matches as well as social media. Benefits will be £20 less soon, furlough ending, a £2.2tn record recession but a £200m global Britain Yacht that cannot afford to feed the Global poor.
We have polluted rivers and privatised water companies dumping raw sewage for swimming in the sea.
IN today’s Boris Britain we have records being set for all the wrong reason, just like record weather events for all the wrong reasons.
******************************
I was raised by my mother into poverty in NW London in the 50s. She worked 3 jobs a day, I only saw her asleep in the chair in front of the black and white TV. If you walked down the local council estate you would get an empty milk bottle thrown at you for being an unwanted stranger. At school you had to fend for yourself. I got a lucky uppercut on the school bully at the top of the stairs one day, and suddenly there was not more bullying as the school bully was stretchered off from the bottom of the stairs. I read encyclopaedias and sports coaching manuals, home alone, I played games left hand against right hand . I passed the 11+ when I did not even know I was taking it.
In those days you could play in the street, but only 3 years after the Essex Road gang had chased you down the street with broom sticks after Grammar School and wearing uniform, with Chum, my dog saving me, by jumping over the garden gate and scattering the gang like a strike at tenpin bowling. It was not until I was 16 with a Mods scooter that I started seeing life outside London NW10. It was not until I was 18 that I sat in a restaurant, that I went on a plane for a holiday abroad.

Civilisation is all about progress, or should be. But to me Britain and British Society has not progressed. Ok someone like me is no longer living in poverty. I worked hard for what I got, it is not a lot, but it is what I have created. In working hard I also achieved more than most and mainly despite senior management who thought they were superior management, until I told them bluntly that they were NOT.
*********************************
So, what is the point of all this? Well People 1st was always an idea I had even as a child, it seemed logical to me, but I may be dead by the time it happens.
Britain is going from bad to worse and I have seen a lot of Prime Ministers, the best of the bunch being Wilson and Blair. Now we have surely reached rock bottom with the toffee nosed elitist tory twat Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Surely after Mayhem and today’s chaos and confusion it cannot get worse.
In order for People 1st to succeed we have mountains to climb and huge boulders in our way. But People should not accept what they have been given. I did not as a child. I did not choose to be born into that situation and I strived to climb out of it. We must all do the same, to make Britain better.
The Manifesto contains the main bullet points, in "announcements". Public services should be owned by the public for the public. WE need to oust the Cesspit of a Government, but with a weak and quiet political opposition that is difficult, and another reason why I formed this Group, because the political main stream and media have abandoned the anti Brexit people, the Remainers.
Every day I write about climate change (I was the 1st TV journalist to tell you 30 years ago). Every day I write in anger about other totally illogical things, like the words that exit Johnson’s mouth. Every day I try to get support from people that like us to hear their voice, but not to keen on listening to our voice.
In order to reclaim Britain for it’s people we must:
1. Evict Number 10 of evil.
2. Introduce Proportional representation. Make it easier for members of communities to be voted for locally and nationally, and outlaw vested and self interests.
3. Ensure honesty, integrity and transparency is the bedrock of a new Magna Carta written constitution.
4. Apply to rejoin EU and certainly the single market.
5. Set up a Public Accountability Investigation Unit, with powers to apprehend on a retrospective basis.
Only then can we start to build a better, fairer, more prosperous Britain for it’s people.
IN these darkest days for 70 years, we must try to focus on positives. Stories and ideas that show an alternative, that offer hope, but we must also combat the evil, the division in Britain today. WE have to share this vision as our mission and try to recruit others, size matters.
I do not think more cars than parking spaces, is a better Britain. I do not think “them and us” is a Better Britain. I do not think a lack of education is an excuse. I do not think a lack of responsibility or respect is satisfactory. I have never liked cheats, liars, or bullies, they have no place in British Society, yet alone in “Worseminster”.
