Can someone form an Opposition, please?

Yet again, the Conservatives have become ZaNuLiebour in BluLabour clothing...this time, on the Great Man-Made Global Warming Swindle.

Hot on the heals of Gordon Brown insulting more than half of the electorate who are cynical about the climate claims by labelling them as "flat earthers" comes... the Conservative Party - a section of at least - who are using the exact same label.

Now, we've already discussed how weak one's argument is if one resorts to ridiculous name calling to make the point, so, let's make the point we want to make - that we have no opposition in British politics.

Man made climate change: ZaNuLiebour are trying to convince us and insult us if we aren't convinced. The Conservatives are on the same crusade, led by David Cameron. The Lib Dems, naturally, are on the same bus.

The latest claims come from a group within the Conservatives led by Ken Clarke.

Ken Clarke is the most vocal EU supporter in the Conservative Party.

The European Union: No vote for the public, despite all three parties promising us one. Labour and the Lib Dems colluded and conspired to pass the Lisbon Treaty. The Conservatives - with Ken Clarke as one of their 'big beasts' - made sounds which suggested they would offer us a referendum no matter what... and then changed their mind. The Conservatives are so in favour of their EU project that they knocked back an offer from UKIP centered on the promise of an 'in-out' referendum. In rejecting the UKIP advance, they showed that they would rather risk a hung Parliament and millions of votes than jeopardise their European Empire project.

Iraq and Afghanistan: A few Lib Dem plus points here, but not one party is demanding the return of our troops from Afghanistan where we are fighting a war which, we are told, is being fought to "stop Al Qaeda terrorising us on the streets of Britain".

...but hang on. Al Qaeda aren't terrorising us on the streets of Britain. Where are they? Nobody has terrorised me and said they're from Al Qaeda. While you've been in Britain, have you experienced anything untoward and anyone from something called Al Qaeda introduce themselves or claim that they did it? No? Thought not.

So, who is terrorising us?

The man-made global warming arguments. The world is going to end. We're all going to die. Visions of apolcalypse unless we all pay lots of taxes to the World Bank.

This all hot on the heals of us all being about to drop down dead of swine flu - the virus everyone who ever caught a cold was diagnosed with (mostly by a call centre operative with no medical background) and which in reality has been such a trifling little nothingness that we wonder what all of the fuss was about. Come on... think back. What were we offered? Visions of apocalypse unless we all ran out and got vaccines.

Errr... please stop terrifying us and terrorising us. It doesn't work. We're not scared.

Civil liberties, CCTV cameras everywhere. Stopping and harassing photographers. Arresting 80-year old hecklers at Labour Party conferences. Shooting people on the tube and battering newspaper vendors. Listening to our phone calls and emails. Databases this, that and the other.

Oppose Government policy? Thought terrorist. Extremist. We're coming to lock you up for 90 days just because we feel like it. Haebus Corpus? Never heard of it. Jury trial? You can forget that!

Now gives us your DNA and your eye retina scan...

Sorry, but the people terrorising the British people are doing so at the behest of New Labour with no opposition from anyone supposedly in the opposition parties - not some third world bloke in a beard and robes who is living in a cave.

Then we get to the economy where trillions upon trillions were siphoned off the tax kitty and given to the banking industry.

All of the three main political parties supported it with barely a murmur.

And lo and behold, they're talking about banks paying out billions to themselves in bonuses again. Even from banks that we now own!

All this from Westminster, where our three political parties are embroiled in scandal after ripping off the British taxpayer with dodgy expenses to the tune of millions and millions of pounds.

There's not a Rizla paper between the three main parties on most of these things.

Just one great big LibLabCon.

Cynical? About politics, politicians and anything they say or do?

Us? No sir! For if we were, we'd surely be dragged off in the night.

This current set up bears more and more resemblance to 1939 with each passing day.

When the election comes - provided they let us have one - we couldn't care less who you vote for. But please do not vote for the LibLabCon. Look where it's all headed...
