Boris joins us in our despair

With news of yet another totalitarian state database - that which will see eleven MILLION people having to pay to go on a database just in case anyone fancies accusing them of being a paedophile - it seems that Boris Johnson has reacted with the despair and despondency that this blog does.

Boris - a thoroughly sensible chap who can have the PM job as far as we're concerned - begs: "...please will someone in Westminster have the guts to speak out against this demented scheme".

...but Boris, of course they won't. The overwhelming majority of MPs are lobby fodder. They traipse into the appropriate lobby to cast their vote according to whatever it is their party bullies tell them they must do. Forget constituents and what they want - no... party whips are the people to be obeyed, not the citizen.

We do not count. We are just piffle. We'll submit to an onslaught of pathetically bad and abused 'laws' (which actually are statutes, not laws) and provided we pay our taxes and never question anything, then nobody will put us on another of ZaNuLiebour's databases.

And most of these MPs? Well, how much thinking do they do?

All they ever do is criminalise every thought and deed and ban everything.

Watch what they ban next... we hear a rumour that they are thinking of banning that terrible chemical substance known as 'dihydrogen monoxide'. Most MPs won't investigate 'dihydrogen monoxide'. They'll just get told by their whips that it is evil and agree to ban it.

Probably.

So Boris, we don't hold out any hope that the current crop of MPs will do anything of any sense whatsoever.

We need some sensible people to get elected as MPs to serve the nation. Before they ban 'dihydrogen monoxide' and accuse those who posses any of it of paedophilia or terrorism.

Come on ZaNuLiebour... if you only do one thing, ban 'dihydrogen monoxide' before it does anyone any harm.

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
