#FactCheckuk in Leaflet Form #GE2019

2019-12-07T10:42:00.000+00:00

Above and below are images of a leaflet I recently received through my letterbox. Like the #FactCheckuk Twitter account, if you look closely enough, it says it is issued by CCHQ aka the head office of The so-called Conservative Party.

It is as deceitful, misleading and as full of lies as our current so-called Prime Minister. Just one example is the claim that Labour's planned nationalisation of energy and water companies will cost each household an extra £2000 per year, when average household bills are £1,254 for a dual fuel deal and £415 for water per year.

As this is perfectly legal to produce, it is no wonder that Facebook have said that it is ok for their paid for political ads to not tell the truth.

This time the stakes are even higher as there is no doubt that Boris Johnson and his so-called Conservative Party are the biggest threat to our economy, our Democracy and our Union and that any true Conservative with an ounce of moral fibre should be taking the advice of Michael Heseltine

Westminster is the Problem

After the results of the local, and now the European elections, it should be increasingly obvious to the subjects, and the still EU citizens of the United Kingdom, that the Westminster two party state is the problem. It is a system sustained by a media that is largely owned by right wing tax exiles and a state broadcaster that allows the news agenda to be set by the print media and is not as independent as it should be due to the constant threat to the licence fee from the minority governments created by the Westminster system.

The Young'uns on The Moon

The Young'uns are a folk trio from the land to the north east of The North who provided the spine tingling Brewster & Wagner to A Best of 2015 on The Moon . It brilliantly recounts a tale of a German sergeant coming to the rescue of a British soldier and serving him bread and wine in a shell hole in 1915. It was the last track on their last LP and their new LP Strangers carries on where it left off by celebrating a number of heroes from the past and present.

#GE2017 - England is Woke

Their England is a Lie

Due to the semi-democratic nature of the British two-party state, there is always a focus on the number of seats won in the immediate aftermath of a general election, but I think it is far better to look at the way people actually voted. Though it is not a very accurate representation of the true will of the people as many voters will have voted for their second choice candidate.

Therefore, I think the best way to look at the result is to divide the parties into progressive and reactionary camps and on that score, the progressives are clear winners.
