Reverse Cultural Suicide Revolution

Peter Hitchens in the Mail:

Yet again we are told that the schools don’t teach and the police don’t go out on the beat. When will people grasp that this is because of the Left-wing dogma that has us in its grip? Leftists are opposed to proper teaching on principle and think crime is caused by poverty and abuse. We need a reverse cultural revolution to put these things right. We won’t get it from the Tories.

It is quite obvious to many of us that there is a deliberate policy of destroying education as most of us have understood it. That's why so many young people leave school knowing nothing, having read nothing, unable to write, unprepared for life - and all despite the government's continuous prating about equipping them with up-to-date 'skills' for a 'fast-changing world', as if no one had ever had to cope with change before.

Lisbon Lickspittles and Labour Elitism

Hatfield Girl demands Cameron Commit Unequivocally to a Rejection of the Lisbon Treaty.

I think it would be a vote winner, especially in the light of the EU's vast waste of (our) money, including on phantom MEPs on full pay.

Peter Hitchens reckons we don't need a general election, because there's just another bunch of neo-liberal, Blairite EU lickspittles:

most Members of Parliament have been purchased by the European Union and the liberal elite.

They know that their absurdly padded lifestyles are their reward for selling their souls to power, for concealing that 80 per cent of what they do is rubber-stamping European law, and most of the rest is pursuing the relentless agendas of political correctness.

They dared not ask us for more pay, because they feared we would enquire too deeply into what they do and what they don’t do.

So they fiddled themselves more money in secret complicity with their true masters.

There should be no General Election until most of them - and I mean most of them - have retreated in shame into private life.

It's a horrible thing to contemplate, but we may end up with a bunch of tossers even worse than the ones we've got now.

And talking of the new intake lining themselves up for ascension, Boris Johnson has an interesting article on the (now failed) attempt of Georgia Gould (23, daughter of Labour privilege) to secure the nomination for a parliamentary seat.

No Al-Qaeda

'There is no such organisation as ‘Al Qaeda’. The spooks know this, Cabinet Ministers know this and so do the ‘security correspondents’ who so readily trot out the spooks’ point of view on our broadcasting networks.' Peter Hitchens reiterates what everyone knows.
