Notwithstanding our current economic malaise, our strong economy
has allowed all this to happen, but our laziness and misguided philanthropy has
also prompted decline. We have presided over a decline in basic education even
as money has poured into that pit. And we have seen a decline in standards of
personal responsibility, excused as liberalism and supported by a legal system so costly and dense and intertwined that it is used as often against us as for us. The more we spend on liberty, the less liberty we get.
In the guise of freedoms and rights our deliberate failure to judge
and appropriately guide or punish has created a society that has never been
more fragmented. For every misguided pressure group or belief that we not only
tolerate but appear to actively encourage we lose a piece of our Britishness in
return. We lose the sense of identity and the security in that identity that
once gave us an enviable character. And part of that character was the confidence
to be proudly British. And with that confidence a quiet tolerance of others was a given.
Now though, our tolerance is not assumed, it is legislated
for. We are given pejorative titles such as racist, sexist, homophobe, xenophobe – not to
appeal to our sense of fair play but to criminalise us for our rational
instincts and reasonable objections. And this deliberate erosion of the liberties of the many in favour of the few has been a deliberate
act of successive governments trading on their ‘caring’ credentials. The younger generation,brought up to see all this legal frippery as normal, know no other life and so cannot understand the frustrations of those who see what has been given away. But they will have to live with the consequences.
My Britain is almost lost. It will probably finally expire with
my generation and the horrible imposed illiberalism of the various strands of socialist
thinking will prevail. It will make this a far worse place to live, indeed it already has. Even today, as he talks
tough on terror, David Cameron is still vociferously supporting the policies of surrender
to ideology proven to have caused damage wherever it has been tried.
Death on the streets - something must change
He believes he is de-toxifying the Tories, but that won’t
bring back the Woolwich soldier, will it? Savagery, in broad daylight, in
England’s capital city? Socialism has no answer to the damage it has wrought
other than to apply more socialism. If Cameron really wants a future for the
Conservative Party (and by extension for the country) he has to stop talking tough and start acting tough. To get
Britain back from the brink we need Conservatives to be out and proud. Bring back the Nasty Tory.
