The Working Class Can Kiss My Ass I've Joined The Ruling Class At Last.

                           
                   A picture gallery of Labour Party socialist hypocrites who sold out the working class

It was British journalist and author George Orwell who in his 1937 book The Road To Wigan Pier, took the view that upper class or bourgeoise socialists were soggy sentimentalists who were all for a classless society so long as they see the proletariat through the wrong end of the telescope; force them into any real contact with the proletariat and they retreat back into their inherent patronizing snobbishness.

Admire him or not he was prophetic as his other novels Animal Farm and 1984 attest. The worst kind of socialist in Orwell's mind was the trade union leader or labour representative who was elected into office to look after the interests and well being of his fellow workers only to join the class they have sworn an oath to fight, then go on to adopt their mannerisms and way of life.

This is certainly true in the case of the British Labour Party, many of whom swore by all that was holy that they would never sit with the upper class and the aristocracy in the hated House of Lords.

This institution is the upper chamber of British legislature which was once exclusively populated by Lords Temporal and Lords Spiritual; in other words hereditary Peers and Bishops. It was regarded by socialists and others as the bastion of Great Britain's class based society with its unearned privilege, patronage, inequality and injustice.

Considered to be an affront to democracy there were calls for the House of Lords to be elected in order to correct this democratic deficit or better still, abolished altogether. Politicians being the charlatans that they are chose to reform the chamber by phasing out hereditary Peers replacing them with appointed Life Peers. The Bishops and a rump of hereditary Peers were to remain for the time being.

This opened the door to corruption on a massive scale with Peerages being sold for hard cash and in return for favours, services rendered and party donations.

Appointments to the House of Lords are for life therefore they cannot be removed by the people using a democratic electoral process. These corruptocrats get a daily allowance of $390 per day just for crossing the threshold plus other expenses. They also enjoy taxpayer subsidised bars and restaurants until they shuffle off their mortal coils and climb aboard the great gravy train in the sky.

No self respecting socialist would have been seen dead in this place but a taxpayer funded sinecure with its rank and privileges far away from the great unwashed outweighs any socialist principles they once claimed to hold dear.

The following is a gallery of some of the worst hypocrites in the British Labour Party who wallowed in their socialist principles while it suited them then abandoned the working class for the aristocracy when they were of no further use.

Neil Kinnock, otherwise known as the Welsh Windbag, he is quoted as saying "The House of Lords must go - not be reformed, not be replaced, not be reformed in some nominated life-after-death patronage paradise, just closed down, abolished, finished". He was elected to represent the poor working class constituency of Bedwellty then Islwyn in South East Wales. A noted bloviator with few or no accomplishments he went on to become leader of the Labour Party where he was roundly defeated by Mrs. Thatcher not once but twice. The epitome of patronage, nepotism and corruption he spent 25 years as an MP, another 4 years as an EU Commissioner, 5 more years as the EU Commissioner for Admin Reform before being appointed to the House of Lords for life. This member of the new aristocracy labours under the title of Baron Kinnock of Bedwellty in the County of Gwent.

Michael Martin, otherwise known as 'Gorbals Mick' after a working class area of his native Glasgow. Martin was a trade unionist and Labour councillor before entering Parliament where he was eventually appointed Speaker of the House of Commons. This supposedly neutral Speaker was hopelessly biased and was forced to resign after being involved in an expenses scandal which cheated the taxpayer of the fruits of their labour. After 26 years as an Member of Parliament Gorbals Mick was 'elevated' to the new aristocracy in 2009 where he labours under the title of Baron Martin of Springburn in the City of Glasgow.

Alistair Darling, referred to as 'that bearded Trot' by the aforementioned Neil Kinnock.  Darling was a fully paid up member of the Loony Left and a supporter of the International Marxist Group. Privately educated, Darling was elected to the far-left Lothian Regional Council in Scotland in 1982 before entering Parliament in 1987. He reached the dizzy heights of Chancellor of the Exchequer before standing down after 28 years. This champagne socialist was 'elevated' to the new aristocracy in 2015 where he labours under the title of Baron Darling of Roulanish, Great Bernera in the County of Ross and Cromarty.

John Prescott, an ill tempered bruiser who started his political career as a trade union activist while working as a steward on cruise liners. He was elected to Parliament in 1970 and attained the position of Deputy Prime Minister to Tony Blair. Regarded as the representative of the working class and trade unionists in Tony Blair's reformed New Labour movement which saw the party move to the right. Prescott made himself a laughing stock when he admitted an affair with his diary secretary Tracy Temple who likened his tackle to a chipolata. After 40 years as a Member of Parliament he was 'elevated' to the new aristocracy in June 2010 and labours under the title of  Baron Prescott of Kingston upon Hull in the County of East Yorkshire.

Peter Mandelson, a self-serving, odious piece of work if ever there was one. This former member of the Young Communist League is competing with his former leader Tony Blair as the most obnoxious and hated figure in British political history. The original spin doctor and media manipulator, this charlatan along with Blair and others is responsible for dragging British politics and public life further down into the sewer from where it is yet to emerge. For some reason unknown to mankind Mandelson was handed immense power throughout his political career despite having to resign from the government twice due to accusations of corruption. After a controversial twelve year Parliamentary career he was appointed EU Commissioner for Trade where he made numerous contacts in the dodgy global business world including Russian oligarchs and other East European tyrants. This 'former' communist who loves the trappings of wealth and power was 'elevated' to the House of Lords in 2008 and labours under the very grandiose title of Lord Mandelson of Foy in the County Hereforshire and of Hartlepool in the County of Durham.

In the interests of diversity, inclusion, gender equality, multiculturalism and community cohesion we have Manzila Pola Uddin. A British documented Bangladeshi who's career as a community activist and politician has been mired in controversy and corruption throughout. Despite being as corrupt as any African kleptocrat, Manzila Uddin's gender, skin colour, religion and ethnicity made her the darling of the Labour Party and the 'progressive' multi-culti industry. Ignoring the fact that she robbed the taxpayer upward of some $200,000 by lying and cheating she remains in the Legislature to this day. She swindled the taxpayer by claiming her primary residence was an empty property she owned outside the designated residential area that entitles her to claim expenses and allowances. She actually lived in an a property close to Westminster which precluded these claims. By sheer coincidence she had a mansion built in her native Bangladesh to the value of approximately $200,000. Attempts by the Labour Party to get her elected to the House of Commons were unsuccessful so they appointed  her to the House of Lords instead where she labours under the title of Baroness Uddin of Bethnal Green in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.  

He has not been 'elevated' to the House of Lords just yet because this creature still harbours an ambition to lead the European Union as President. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair who famously declared to Labour Party icon and former leader, Michael Foot, that he came to socialism via Marxism used the contacts he made while in office to accumulate a personal fortune as opposed to alleviating the condition of the poor and downtrodden working class he claimed to champion. A narcissist of the very highest order this incarnation of pure evil is considered by many to be a war criminal after lying in order to lead Great Britain into an illegal war with Iraq. Apart from adding to his personal fortune Blair now spends his time and energy attempting to reverse the result of the Brexit referendum and keep Great Britain shackled to the failing and corrupt European Union he hopes one day to lead. Tony Blair is the ultimate champagne socialist and the final chapter of his treachery as yet to be written so this one will keep running for some time yet.

The Working Class Can Kiss My A*se - The Labour Party Speaks

The rather rude headline comprises the alternative words to the communist anthem The Red Flag, the singing of which signals the closing of the Labour Party conference. This jamboree is an annual stage managed media event which is designed to give the impression that millionaires and wealthy career politicians have selflessly dedicated their lives to the well being of the working class. They try, unsuccessfully, to identify with working people by contrived working class behavior, laughable fake accents and class warfare rhetoric.

When I was growing up in the South Wales coalfield the Labour Party conference used to be a long awaited event and I assume it was the same in the other declining industrial areas of Great Britain. It was the annual showpiece where party policy, party officials and the party leadership were decided in open elections by representatives from the constituency parties, the trade unions and other affiliated organisations.

These conferences were televised allowing the public at large to watch the proceedings and become familiar with the processes and language of the working man's party. Those were days when 'motions' were read out before the delegates, including things called 'composite motions', a device where several different motions were rolled into one before the debate. After a succession of speakers for and against, the motions were put to the vote and became official party policy if so decided. The proceedings were interspersed with 'fraternal greetings' from well wishers and delegates addressed each other as 'comrade'.

The proceedings were, and still are, brought to a close with the traditional singing of The Red Flag by the delegates and officials.

Like every other aspect of modern politics the recently concluded Labour Party conference was stage managed from beginning to end by professional media mangers, not to decide what's right for the country or the British people but to give the impression that the political class actually cares what the people think and then making promises to act accordingly.

Every detail of the charade is choreographed and every speech carefully constructed by spin doctors to give the impression that the speaker identifies, and has empathy with, working people.

Despite the fact that the usual soundbites and slogans were repeated ad nauseum by speaker after speaker, the idea that the modern Labour Party is the party of the working man is not only risible but utterly delusional.

The spin doctors favourite words and soundbites such as; Fairness, Equality, Inequality, Working People, Hard Working People, Hard Working Families, Social Justice, Your NHS, Our NHS, The Rich etc. were trotted out in gay abandon in a shameless attempt to stir up envy and hatred using class warfare rhetoric.
(Equality article here)

It was obvious to all and sundry that these speeches, which are designed to appeal to the assumed prejudices of working people, are delivered by extremely wealthy career politicians who have never had a job in the real world that any normal person would consider as work.

The highlight of the conference is the speech by the party leader. The current leader of the working man's party is comrade Ed Miliband, better known as Red Ed.

Ed Miliband is the millionaire son of the late Marxist academic Adolph 'Ralph' Miliband, a Belgian immigrant who was given sanctuary during World War II. After the war he went on to spend his life agitating for Great Britain's downfall and its subsequent replacement with a Soviet style communist country.

It is worth noting at this point the professionalism and dedication of Labour's media managers and their eye for detail. With an eye on the optics for Miliband's speech, they evicted the disabled delegates from the front of the auditorium and replaced them with more telegenic people. So much for the poor, the downtrodden and the disadvantaged.

His speech was a dreadful dirge of politic speak that is typical of a remote career politician, especially one who's life long dedication to doctrinaire Marxism has left him devoid of any personality or any capacity for original thinking. It didn't go unnoticed that apart from the soundbites mentioned above he failed to address, or even mention, what concerns working people most. i.e. the deficit, the EU, open border mass immigration and imposed multi-culturalism.
(Speech transcript here)

He also failed to make any reference to the Muslim paedophile scandals in Rotherham, Rochdale and other blighted towns despite nationwide publicity and national outrage. Muslim men were allowed to groom and subject underage white girls to rape and horrific sexual abuse unhindered by the Labour controlled authorities including the children's social services and the police.

These young victims lives were supposedly sacrificed in the interests of 'community cohesion' - in other words Ed Miliband's Labour Party allowed under age white girls to be raped and sexually abused by Muslim men because the imposition of a so called 'multi-cultural society' took a higher priority.

The iconic line from the anthem, 'When cowards flinch and traitors sneer' applies to Ed Miliband and the Labour leadership in spades. How can any politician, let alone a party leader who aspires to become Prime Minister, not mention this scandal,  the deficit or the catastrophic national debt in his headline conference speech? He also made no mention of an EU referendum that the people demand or any controls on the mass immigration that is blighting every village, town and city across the country.

He had no tangible policy to tackle radical Islam or the British documented jihadis who are returning from the Middle East battlefields and who are obviously a clear and present danger to the British people.

It came as no surprise to those who gave up Red Ed's brand of left wing politics when they reached puberty that he did promise the only policy that the one track mind of a life long Marxist can muster.  That is tax and spend. Regardless of the disastrous record of the last Labour government, he promised to raise taxation in order to pump even more money into 'our' NHS and elsewhere.

It would appear that the one hundred or so new taxes imposed by the last Labour government were not quite enough.

They want to impose a 'Mansion Tax' on expensive houses, more tax on tobacco products, raising the upper rate to fifty percent and once again for the umpteenth time, a tax on bankers bonuses.

The Mansion tax is a spiteful, ill thought out piece of class warfare designed to appeal to base instincts of his core voters. It fails to take into account that his victims could be asset rich and cash poor due to the unprecedented house price boom of the seventies and eighties.
(Mansion tax here)

The consequences of even more tax on tobacco will result in more people giving it up or moving to the black market, either way tax revenue will decrease.

Raising the upper tax rate to fifty percent is another spiteful piece of class warfare which every student in basic economics knows will decrease revenue to the Treasury.

Taxing the bonuses of the evil bankers is an old favourite which is rolled out whenever they want to galvanise their core voters. This is the fifth or so Labour Party social program that is going to be financed by bankers bonuses.

Whichever way the media managers and spin doctors present it, Labour Party policy has Marxism as its underlying core philosophy. Despite the evidence of history that communism/socialism, or progressivism as they now call it, always leads to poverty and misery for the majority, the transfer of wealth from the private sector to the politicians is the only policy they know.

The alternative lyrics to The Red Flag could have been penned especially for the Labour Party leadership of recent years. In spite of all the rhetoric about fairness, inequality and the rest of the nonsense they spout, when the Labour Party leadership talk about the redistribution of wealth they mean everyone else's which doesn't include their own.

Despite his Marxist beliefs and redistribution rhetoric, Ed Miliband is reputed to be worth some four million pounds. Un-redistributed, this fortune can only grow larger with his taxpayer funded package of ministerial level salary, allowances and expenses.

In conclusion it is worth looking at some of the previous leaders of the working man's party and their much trumpeted dedication to equality, fairness, social justice and the redistribution of wealth.

Hard line Scottish socialist Gordon Brown, the former Prime Minister and Red Ed's mentor and predecessor. His socialist policies wrecked the British economy in the name of fairness and social

justice. Rightly booted out of office he remains the MP for Kilkaldy and Cowdenbeath. He rarely attends Parliament but jet sets around the world, First Class no doubt, as some kind of UN ambassador. He subsidises the circa two million he makes from his charitable activities with his Parliamentary salary and generous expenses.

The story goes that most of his earnings go to charity but this cannot be verified. Either way he lives like a lord compared to his disenfranchised, poor and downtrodden constituents in Kilkaldy and Cowdenbeath.

Neil, now Lord Kinnock, the former Labour Party leader and career politician who, together with his wife Glenys, somehow managed to accumulate a ten million pound fortune. This is despite the fact that he never won a general election and had no experience in the business or wealth creating sector. Meanwhile their former constituents in South East Wales wallow in the same poverty and deprivation they suffered during the pre Kinnock era.
(Neil Kinnock story here, Glenys story here)

These money makers pale into insignificance compared to Tony Blair. Known as Phony Tony, he is another career politician who infamously stated that he "came to socialism via Marxism". He has accumulated a fortune estimated between twenty and one hundred million pounds. Like Kinnock, Miliband and Brown he has no experience in the business or wealth creating sector and appears to have no intention of putting into practice his philosophy by redistributing his wealth.



                It suits today the weak and base

                                                       Who's minds are fixed with pelf and place*

                                                       To cringe before the rich mans crown

                                                       And haul the sacred emblem down

This kind of hypocrisy has not gone unnoticed by the long suffering British public who have grown tired of their standard of living falling while being patronized by millionaires promising equality and fairness. Along with the other two legacy parties, Labour are scared witless by the rise of the United Kingdom Independence Party, known as UKIP.
(Labour's response to UKIP here)

Two of the reasons that this grass roots political party is resonating with the public is their use of honest straight talk instead of spin, centrally issued soundbites and slogans combined with the total absence of a*se kissing.

Stephen Kinnock - Hereditary Socialists, Exclusion And Self Flagelation

Children who partake in destructive behavior toward themselves or others are usually diagnosed as having some disorder or other that requires medication to keep its symptoms under control. When whole communities numbering in the tens of thousands engage in similar destructive behavior there doesn't appear to be any pharmaceutical product on the market that could effect such a cure for so many.

Looking at the imposition of Stephen Kinnock as the next Member of Parliament for the people of Aberavon, one has to wonder what it will take for the people to alter their self harming behavior, even when some relatively minor alterations would have beneficial effects on their own and their children's future.

The circumstances surrounding the appointment of Stephen Kinnock, and the stench of political patronage it has left in its wake, deserves closer examination, as does the patronising attitude of the Labour party's political establishment toward the people of this constituency.

The people of Aberavon are obviously unaware of the destructive nature of their tribal voting habits and also the fact that by turning their constituency into a single party state they are effectively disenfranchising themselves.

The people need to understand that today's politicians are unscrupulous, unprincipled placemen who are trained in the black arts of media manipulation, spinning and lying. They have no interest in democracy or representing the people, their only interest is in their own agenda or that of the vested interest they represent.

Stephen Kinnock is a wealthy career bureaucrat who has achieved little in life using his own personal skills or resources. It would appear that he has trailed along on his parents coat tails benefiting from the power and influence they accumulated while in public office.

He may have been born in Wales but he was brought up in London, went to University in Cambridge then spent his formative years breathing the rarefied air of Brussels. He has had very little to do with Great Britain or its people and absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Wales, Aberavon or the working class.

The people of Aberavon are being intellectually lazy by not educating themselves on the motives of the modern day Labour party, nor are they scrutinizing the man who is being dumped on them by an exclusive London based elite of millionaire socialists who have seized control of the Labour movement.

They are incorrectly assuming that this is the same Labour movement that was formed during the industrial revolution. This movement was created by working people with a view to improving the condition of the masses and it was based on the Christian principle of the brotherhood of man.

Today, only four percent of Labour MP's come from the working class with the rest hailing from a wealthy metropolitan elite who have replaced the Christian roots of the party and its mission with a trendy, international 'progressive' agenda.

The powerful inner circle of the working class movement is closed to outsiders, especially working class people, who are deliberately excluded. Any lingering members of the working class in Parliament are powerless curiosities who will be replaced at the next election with elitists such as Stephen Kinnock.

The determination of the current leadership to keep control of the movement in perpetuity can be illustrated by the dynastic attitude to 'safe' seats. The socialist distaste for the hereditary principle is conveniently sidelined as the ruling elite parachute family members into constituencies populated by undiscerning tribal voters.

Apart from the London centric Kinnock, the born and bred Londoner, Hillary Benn, is the fourth generation of the Benn family to become an MP when he was dumped on the undiscerning people of Leeds.

Born and bred Londoner, Jack Dromey, was dumped on the people of Birmingham despite the constituency having an all woman shortlist. Dromey is the husband of senior Labour party stalwart, Harriet Harman. Apparently, their son Harry is on the look out for some dumb voters to represent.

Essex born Jack Straw was dumped in Blackburn and now is son William is being lined up with a 'safe' seat Lancashire.

Welsh Born John Prescott's son David is on the list, as is Tony Blair's son Euan who, despite being born and bred in London, has decided he would like to represent the people of Coventry.

All these prospective candidates have several things in common:

They are all from a wealthy elite.

None of them has ever had a proper job that normal people would consider as work.

None of them know the first thing about the working class, their hopes or their aspirations.

None of them can identify with working class people.

None of them will know anything about the constituency they will be representing nor will they care.

As they pursue their personal agenda, they will maintain the status quo in the constituency. If it is a poor constituency, it will remain poor.

After the last disastrous Labour government left the country bankrupt and transformed beyond recognition, it's a mystery why electors would self flagellate and vote for more of the same.

The people of Aberavon should learn from other tribal voting areas that their loyalty (some have described it as bovine stupidity) will be abused and their interests will not be a priority for Kinnock. They only need to look at the behavior of his parents and the way they treated the people they were supposed to be representing.

The Kinnock family are notorious in British politics for being the first family of troughing - for the uninitiated that means they have a penchant for lining their pockets with tax payers money - and also for being two of the biggest practitioners of socialist hypocrisy on the planet.

The mother of the clan is Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead, formally known as Glenys Kinnock. In complete contradiction to the spin doctors image of a dutiful wife, mother, school teacher and tireless advocate for the poor, she is a ruthless socialist dedicated to spreading her ideology across the planet.

The truth about Glenys Kinnock here.

The patriarch of the clan is Lord Kinnock of Bedwellty, formally know as Neil Kinnock. He is a serial loser who has no qualifications or accomplishments, but through patronage and corruption he made it to the top of the European Union bureaucracy making himself a multi million pound fortune in the process.

It is worth noting that Neil Kinnock was a career socialist politician who never won a general election as leader of the Labour party, he has never held a position in government nor has he any accomplishments or experience in the wealth creating sector. His fortune is made up mostly of taxpayers money he accumulated from lucrative appointments in the EU, his appointment to the House of Lords and sinecures from other contacts he made while in public office.

The truth about Neil Kinnock here.

There must be something in the water in that neck of the woods that separates people from their common sense. In the neighbouring constituency of Neath and Port Talbot, they embarrassed the whole of Wales by electing and re-electing the biggest political charlatan of them all.

The South African coward Peter Hain ran away from his native land, abandoning his comrades to their fate and he now has the temerity to associate himself with the fall of apartheid.

The truth about tribal voting and Peter Hain here and here.

Another tribal voting post here.

The people of Aberavon and other tribal voting areas should do themselves and their country a favour, wake up, learn to think for yourselves and ignore the Labour party elite.

Choose your own candidate from among yourselves, surely there is someone from within your own community that can represent the interests of the people better than a remote elitist who knows nothing about Aberavon or its people and who's only interest is the agenda of the international elite and their vested interests.   

Our Glorious Dead - Military Heroes Betrayed By Political Cowards

During a search for some of my ancestors, I came upon a military headstone which happened to be the final resting place of not one hero but two, a father and his son.

Whenever I come across one of these headstones I stop to pay my respects and give thanks for their sacrifice on my own, and the country's behalf.

As of late I have started to photograph some of these military graves for my archives. I believe that its only a matter of time before these headstones are removed from civilian cemeteries for causing offence to some politically correct clowns in pursuit of their 'progressive' agenda.

The headstone reads:                                  28443 Driver
                                                                    W.WHELAN
                                                          ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY
                                                             10TH NOVEMBER 1917

                                                               10729742 GUNNER
                                                                     J.WHELAN
                                                               ROYAL ARTILLERY
                                                        21ST DECEMBER 1940 AGE 26
                                                                     IN MEMORY
                                                     OF A DEVOTED HUSBAND AND SON
                                                  FOR EVER ENSHRINED IN OUR HEARTS

Anyone other than an emotional hard case could fail to be moved by the sacrifice made, not only by these brave men but by the wife and mother who lost both her loved ones in the service of their country.

Later that day I witnessed the debilitating spectacle of the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, declaring his absolute dedication to the cause of Great Britain giving up its sovereignty and joining the 'ever closer union' to a German dominated United States of Europe.

Further more, and to rub salt into the country's wounds, he did this sharing a platform with two of the most fanatical of the Euro Federalists. These two creatures make no secret of their determination to bring an end to the independent nation states of Europe, including Great Britain, and subjugate them all into a post democratic political aberration that is plunging the peoples of Europe into abject poverty and misery.

Cameron looked at ease and comfortable selling his nation out flanked by the EU's unelected leaders Portuguese Maoist, Jose Manuel Barroso, and the sinister Belgian totalitarian, Herman von Rumpuy.

Also on the platform was the 'Progressive in Chief' from over the water. The misnamed leader of the free world endorses the subjugation of the British people into this anti-democratic institution. If the United States of Europe is such a great institution for the British people then there is no reason why America shouldn't join also. A name change to the United Transatlantic Union, a surrender of sovereignty then the transfer of $100 million per day and its a done deal.

The leaders and senior members of the three legacy political parties, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband et al, are all committed to selling out the Great Britain that W and J.Whelan died for. These traitorous political weasels and their collaborators are trampling over their grave and dishonouring these hero's to whom they owe everything.

It should be obvious by now that the European Union is a disaster for the people of Europe but a gold mine for the politicians and their attendant bureaucrats. Fortunes have been made by washed up political has beens, like Neil and Glenys Kinnock, who treated the European taxpayer as a cash cow and a means of filling their bank accounts before settling down to a comfortable retirement in that den of thieves known as the House of Lords.

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, these Quislings have always been spinning that Great Britain's interests lie inside the EU and the Single Market. Throughout history treaties and trade deals have been entered into without surrendering sovereignty and there is no reason to surrender it now. Countries from around the world are signing trade deals with the EU without surrendering their sovereignty. The latest $75 billion deal with the United States requires no loss of sovereignty on the part of the American people.

Contrary to what the political class is spinning, the European project is nothing other than nation building, using the failed Soviet Union model as a template. There is no difference between the two.

Since that day at the cemetery I have rethought my attitude to the European Union, including the issue of a referendum.

Great Britain was an independent and sovereign nation at the start of World War l.  W. Whelan went to war and sacrificed his life to protect that sovereignty from the Kaiser's dream of a German dominated Europe. Great Britain was still independent and sovereign at the start of World War II when J.Whelan made the same sacrifice, to protect that same sovereignty but this time from Hitler's dream of a German dominated Europe.

British sovereignty was bought with the lives of these two men and a million others, therefore it cannot be surrendered without their consent. As they are all dead it means that British sovereignty can never be surrendered, not ever.

Neither the traitorous political class nor the people have the authority to surrender British sovereignty and there is no requirement for any referendums.

No referendums were held for the handing over of sovereignty starting with the Merger Treaty and continued with the Single European Act. Referendums were also not held when sovereignty was surrendered by the Maastricht, Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon treaties. By the same account, no referendums should be necessary to repeal these treaties in order to take that sovereignty back.

The sacrifice of W and J. Whelan guarantees British sovereignty for all future generations and no single generation has the authority to surrender it, it is not theirs to give away.

Sovereignty is held in trust by one generation and must be handed on intact to the next, that's what W and J. Whelan sacrificed their lives for and that sacrifice must be respected.

Despite their continuous whinging and whining, the political parasites of today have sacrificed nothing and have no stature whatsoever when compared with W and J. Whelan; they owe everything to the sacrifice of others.

They should show some respect and honour the memory of our Glorious Dead by protecting the sovereignty that they died for and end the sellout of their country to the totalitarians of Europe.

Mrs Thatcher's Last Laugh - Arthur Scargill Humiliated In Court Decision

With the news that Arthur Scargill has lost his court case which he brought against the remnants of his own union, this is an opportune moment to reflect on the history of this hypocrite who put revolutionary politics before the interests of his members, destroying entire communities in the process.

Free marketeer and avowed anti-socialist Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the same time as the two unrepentant communists Arthur Scargill and Mick McGahey took control of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), Great Britain's most powerful union.

Coal mining was one of the biggest industries in Great Britain which not only powered the industrial revolution but the Royal Navy as well. The entire economy was powered by coal and the industry employed hundreds of thousands of workers with the NUM having a membership approaching half a million. The NUM wielded immense power and in 1974 they used this power to bring down the elected government of Prime Minister Edward Heath.

The discovery of oil in the 1920's  and the conversion of the Royal Navy ships from coal to oil started the decline of the coal industry, this fact combined with the availability of cheap coal from overseas made the nationalised British coal industry uncompetitive and an unsustainable drain on the economy.

The Labour governments of Wilson and Callaghan, under their infamous Plan for Coal, were forced to rationalise the industry which inevitably meant that unproductive mines would have to be closed.

These closures were continued by Edward Heath's Conservative government and were used as an excuse for the NUM to strike work. By using blackmail, intimidation and the usual threats of violence they brought the country to its knees and the downfall of the Heath government. 

Due to the timing of the strike this sad period in British history was known as the 'winter of discontent', there were power cuts, a three day working week, mountains of uncollected rubbish in the streets and even the dead were left unburied.

This collapse of the economy resulted in a general election where power was handed to the union controlled Labour Party who promptly caved in to the NUM. Regardless of the collapsed economy and the dire state of the coal industry, wages were increased by a staggering 20%.

This was a typical piece of socialist logic which did nothing for the long term viability of the industry and only made matters worse in the longer term.

Enough is written about Margaret Thatcher's ideology and motivation elsewhere, but the same is not widely known about Scargill and McGahey.

Arthur Scargill followed his father into coal mining and communism. While his father was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), young Arthur was a member of the Young Communist League (YCL).

As part of the infiltration strategy of communists into mainstream democratic socialist parties, which is laid down in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, Arthur Scargill resigned the YCL and joined the Labour Party.

Scargill resigned from the Labour Party when it dropped Clause IV from its constitution, this clause committed the party to nationalisation of all the major industries and utilities. He formed his breakaway Socialist Labour Party which went on to get an average of 1% of the popular vote in subsequent elections.

Scargill was and still is a revolutionary Marxist and like the rest of his ilk he is a hypocrite of the very highest order.

What the membership of the NUM didn't know while they were striking work and impoverishing their families was that Arthur Scargill was busy setting himself up with some not very communist sweet deals.

There was to be none of this Marxist nonsense about abolishing private property for our Arthur. He bought his own piece of real estate in Barnsley, after which he negotiated the fuel bills, the security system and even his own tax returns to be paid for out of his members subscriptions for the rest his life.

Scargill also negotiated an all expenses paid apartment in the *Barbican Centre, London, for his use and that of his surviving widow, paid for from the members' union dues. Somewhere along the line he also negotiated a 'Papa' Doc Duvalier President for Life deal.

* For information, the Barbican Centre is an up market housing development in London occupied by the operators of the capitalist system such as bankers, stockbrokers and various other 1%'ers. The very people that Scargill professes to despise.

Arthur Scargill had nice things to say about Stalin and also claimed that the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin "explained the real world".

Mick McGahey, Scargill's deputy in the NUM, was a life long unrepentant communist who's father was a founder of the Communist Party of Great Britain, when that dissolved, McGahey joined the Scottish Communist Party.

McGahey was a communist fanatic who supported the Soviet invasion of Hungary and the subsequent repression of the Hungarian people. He is also quoted a s saying that the USSR "is a beacon of hope for humanity." 

Looking back at 1974 strike and the downfall of the Heath government, Scargill and McGahey were going for a repeat performance with the Thatcher government, a government and Prime Minister they ideologically opposed and hated with a passion.

The only thing that they needed was an excuse to strike work.

Armed the knowledge that many of Britain's coal mines were over 100 years old and suffered geological problems thus making them uneconomical, Scargill and McGahey committed the NUM to fight any mine closures except on the grounds of exhaustion.

As a result of this commitment the entire coal industry needed a massive subsidy from the taxpayer and this made the industries that were dependent on coal, such as the steel industry and electricity generation,  economically uncompetitive.

In order to rescue the bankrupt British economy, which was sunk by previous Labour Party mismanagement, the Thatcher government proposed to remove the subsidy and close uneconomic mines. Scargill and McGahey had their excuse and a year long strike followed.

Scargill and McGahey refused to hold a national strike ballot, instead by using the 'no mine closure rule' they struck work at  a mine that was earmarked for closure.

They went on to abuse the traditional loyalty of the mine working communities by demanding  sympathy action, they resorted to bullying, thuggery and violence to browbeat dissident communities into line.

Mrs Thatcher had read Scargill and McGahey like a book, she knew what was coming and had long prepared for their politically motivated strike by stockpiling supplies of coal. Her government also organised a fleet of trucks ready for its transportation if required.

More controversially she put the police on a war footing to make sure that any mine worker who wished to work would be able to do so without intimidation.

The rest is history, the NUM split with the formation of the Union of Democratic Miners (UDM), the strike collapsed and with it the entire coal industry.

Thanks to Arthur Scargill and Mick McGahey membership of the once mighty NUM plummeted from a peak of 450,000 to around 1,700 today. ( that's not a typo it really is only seventeen hundred)

Instead of a managed introduction of new forms of power generation, the political ambitions of Scargill and McGahey resulted in the industry being shutdown within a matter of years destroying entire communities in the process.

Mick McGahey departed for the great communist utopia in the sky in 1999 to spend eternity with his hero Stalin, the inhabitants of his home town of Cambuslang in socialist Scotland have insulted the murdered victims of Stalin by erecting a memorial in McGahey's honour.

Arthur Scargill still endures with the unshakable belief that the collapse of the coal industry and the most powerful trade union in history was nothing to do with him, it was all Thatchers fault.

It doesn't enter Scargill's thick skull that the duly elected Prime Minister of some 60 million people, including the tens of thousands of NUM members, had a duty to stand up to the bullying and blackmail of two communists fanatics who continually failed to get elected to parliament under their true banner.

Currently, the NUM is in financial straits and can no longer finance the perks of their 'President for Life'. The burden of this largess, as always, falls on the membership.

The NUM reviewed his contract and were unable to understand how these perks found they way in and if they are appropriate.

The financial plight of his union doesn't bother Scargill, his priorities have always been himself and his political agenda, this always took precedence over the interests of his members.

He took his own union to court in order to continue with his 'entitlements' regardless of their affordability.

The judge found in favour of the NUM so Scargill now has to finance his own extravagant bourgeois lifestyle.

Perhaps he could start selling the Big Issue or sitting outside the House of Lords with his dog on a piece of string waiting for his old friend the multi millionaire Marxist Neil Kinnock to pass by and drop a few coins in his battered cup.

This is a final ignominious and humiliating end to a once powerful union baron who abused that power in order to pursue his perverted ideology and a reason for the Iron Lady to indulge in one last laugh to herself.

Neil Kinnock - Money Money Money! It's A Rich Mans World

I'll start with an anecdote. I was sent to Kenya for a couple of months to cover for a colleague back in 1993. The corruptocrat in charge at the time was an odious creep named Daniel arap Moi.

Hailing from a minority tribe, Moi started life as a school teacher, he then became an MP for a Rift Valley constituency who worked his way up to be party leader and eventually becoming President of Kenya.

I returned to Kenya in 2000 to replace my colleague by which time Daniel arap Moi was worth $1.5 billion, his daughter June was employed in his office with a non job and with daddy's help his son Gideon became a businessman who was worth a reputed $550 million in 2011.

In the meantime his constituents in the Rift Valley remained dirt poor.

There were plenty of parallels between Moi and Neil Kinnock but unlike Moi, the latter didn't make it to the top job.

A look at Neil Kinnock's biographies reveal, as is usual with Labour Party hypocrites, he benefited from a grammar school education. This was the vehicle that provided social mobility for working class children which was subsequently denied to future generations by his Labour Party.

The replacement Comprehensive system locked children into a dumbed down shambles which still masquerades as schooling today.

Neil Kinnock went on to become "the first person in his family for a thousand generations to go to University" where he graduated in Industrial Relations and History, a qualification which is of little use for a career in the wealth and job creating sector.

Neil Kinnock is also the first person in his family in a thousand generations to accumulate a fortune without ever having done a proper job in the real world outside of the incestuous world of politics.

Neil Kinnock spent 4 years as a tutor for the Workers Education Association, a taxpayer supported charity which laughably includes equality and opportunity as one of its values. (Comrade Neil must have turned a blind eye to that one).

After an exhaustive investigation, that would appear to be it, the sum total of Neil Kinnock's experience outside of party politics comprises of being a student and a tutor in a taxpayer funded charity.

There is no record of any business or wealth creating experience prior to his entering Parliament as the MP for Bedwellty.  This was, and still is, a typical poor tribal voting South Wales coal mining community which would return a donkey to Parliament if it sported a red Labour Party rosette.

Neil Kinnock's political career is well documented elsewhere but briefly:

Neil Kinnock worked his up to the giddy heights of Labour Party leader, a tenure which was characterised in the early days with a sham fight with hard left.

Although he was a member of the hard left himself he realised that their loony policies and poor public image was hurting their chances of electoral success.

The battles with Militant Tendency made great headlines which the Labour Party image makers of the day, led by that calculating manipulator and ex communist Peter Mandelson, milked for all it was worth.

With the expulsion of Militant Tendency and a change of logo to a pink rose, the Party was apparently re-branded and now electable.

In reality nothing had changed. The loony left went underground, they put on suits and ties then carried on as usual. They are still in the Labour Party to this day in the shape of Jeremy Corbyn, Dennis Skinner, Diane Abbot, Michael Meacher, Ken Livingstone, 'Grunwick' Jack Dromey (of all women shortlist fame) etc.

Despite Mandelson's efforts at re-branding, Neil Kinnock's Labour Party went on to lose the 1987 general election taking only 31% of the vote.

Surprisingly Neil Kinnock stayed on as leader seeing off a challenge by that other left wing loon Anthony Wedgwood Benn. This is the wealthy hypocrite who tried to hide his background by proletarianising his name to Tony Benn. Nice try Anthony!

Much like David Cameron's PR men today, Peter Mandelson's propaganda unit went into overdrive working on Neil Kinnock's image while simultaneously trying to detoxify the party.

This consisted of dropping unpopular policies such as Unilateral Nuclear Disarmament, Clause IV, the Closed Shop etc. but no amount of image making could stop Neil Kinnock from being himself.

By using ten words where one would suffice he got himself a reputation for  bloviating windbaggery which is still his defining feature to this day.

Long winded speeches and inane statements against a formidable opponent like Mrs. Thatcher proved to be disastrous. I am not a Tory supporter but I have to give the Iron Lady credit, she was impressive, she exposed Neil Kinnock for the intellectual lightweight that he is and wiped the floor with him at every exchange.

It must have come as a relief when Mrs Thatcher was deposed in a coup by her treacherous colleagues and replaced by the grey man of politics, John Major. Sensing victory, Neil Kinnock unsuccessfully pushed for an early general election but when it finally came he lost that one too.

His embarrassing appearance at a victory rally in Sheffield the night before the election was blamed for his loss, together with the infamous Sun newspaper headline " If Kinnock wins today, will the last person to leave Britain turn out the lights". I remember it well, it was devastating but effective.

The headline seemed a tad unfair but the truth is that the majority of the British people didn't want a socialist Labour government with a Welsh Windbag as their Prime Minister.

He resigned the Labour leadership 1992 and instead devoting his spare time working to alleviate poverty in his constituency, he abandoned them in order to line his pockets.

Media appearances and the Labour Party/BBC revolving door were not filling his coffers fast enough so he followed his wife Glenys Kinnock and climbed aboard the European Union gravy train in 1995. As with all these riders, taxpayers money started to roll in relentlessly thereafter.

With no qualifications for the job, no experience of life outside politics and not a single vote cast, Neil Kinnock was appointed as Transport Commissioner over more qualified and experienced people. It's that familiar Kinnock stench and it seems to follow this particular family around.

Modelled on the failed Soviet Union, the European Union is a cesspit of financial and political corruption, conceived by politicians and run purely in the interests of politicians.

In 1999, after 5 years in office as Transport Commissioner, Neil Kinnock was forced to resign with the rest of the Jaques Santer corruptocrats after widespread fraud, obstruction and cover ups were discovered in the Commission budget by a whistle blower.

Naturally everybody in the Commission denied all knowledge, so a scapegoat had to be found to fall on their sword and accept punishment. ( This punishment was not so severe as to cost the volunteer her pension). With this dubious action the issue was whitewashed over and the gravy train was back on the rails.

Against all common sense and reason, Neil Kinnock was promoted to Vice President of the European Commission and charged with instituting reform. His reforms included staff salary and pension cuts but, surprise surprise, only for those joining after 2004.

It must have been difficult for a Labour Party socialist like Kinnock to implement budget cuts considering deficit spending is standard operating procedure for any member of the loony left.

By coincidence I'm sure, son Stephen Kinnock rejoins his father when he surfaces in Brussels as a British Council lobbyist in 1997 and gets promoted to Brussels Director in 2002.

In 2004, with his bank account awash with taxpayers money and with his second term as Commissioner drawing to a close, Neil Kinnock is mysteriously appointed head of the British Council. This is a Foreign Office funded front organisation set up to spread cultural propaganda, the arts and other left wing nonsense such as intercultural dialogue.

Wherever there are socialists, money grabbing is not far behind. Members of Parliament, including Labour's former Speaker of the House 'Gorbals' Mick Martin, were involved in a taxpayer funded scandal involving undisclosed expenses charged to the British Council.

Nothing came of it and nobody was punished, it would appear that politicians use a lot of whitewash so that too is obviously claimable on expenses.

That familiar Kinnock family stench, which was evident  from Glenys and Rachel Kinnocks' shenanigans, reared its ugly head again with Neil and his son Stephen.

No sooner than his father was in position with the British Council, Stephen Kinnock gets a much sought after and lucrative position running the British Council office in St Petersburg, Russia.

Scandal wasn't far behind Stephen Kinnock either as the Russians accused the British Council of tax evasion and then Stephen was accused of drunk driving.

Claiming Diplomatic Immunity, he refused a breath test even though British Council staff do not have Diplomatic status. Rumours at the time claim someone behind the scenes pulled some strings but this is not confirmed.

For Neil Kinnock the British Council position was unpaid so in theory at the end of 2004 he was off the taxpayer funded gravy train..........but not for long... only about two months in fact, politicians look after their own.

After vowing never to sit in the House of Lords while hereditary peers remained in place, he accepted a baronetcy, accompanied by the usual taxpayer funded expenses, while 90 Hereditary Peers were still in place.

Neil Kinnock's principles are not worth a taxpayer funded sinecure, which also included access to money wielding lobbyists as a bonus.

What became of Stephen Kinnock when his father left the European Commission?

He was hurried out of Russia and kept his head down in Sierra Leone until the heat had died down from the St, Petersburg scandal, then in 2009 he became a Director of the World Economic Forum.

This is an organisation designed to bring about a new social order by stealth, which was set up under the patronage of the European Commission of which his father was a member. There is a familiar smell about this appointment also but accusations of Kinnock string pulling are unconfirmed.

For the record, scandal prone Stephen Kinnock is married to Danish socialist Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and he is currently under investigation for tax evasion in Denmark.

So there they sit to this day in perfect harmony, Lord Neil and Baroness Glenys, the socialist hypocrites in the very House of Lords they both claim to despise, trousering taxpayers hard earned money to add to the millions they have already milked.

Estimates put their joint taxpayer funded fortune in the region of ten million pounds. (That's 10,000,000 pounds).

The Kinnock's are an established part of the elite one percent that they hypocritically claim to oppose. They now live in London to be closer to the gravy train and their grandchildren.

Like Daniel arap Moi's constituents in the Rift Valley, the long suffering people of Bedwellty, Islwyn, Blaenau Gwent or whatever they are called now, have served their purpose, they are no longer required and are cast aside.

For their contribution to the estimated Kinnock ten million pound family fortune, the people of Blaenau Gwent got the following in return:

Job Seekers Allowance claimants - 7.8%, the average for Wales 4.4%,  for UK 4.1%

ESA/Incapacity Benefit claimants - 13.3%,  for Wales 9.2%, for UK 6.5%

Unemployed out of work for 12 months 31%, for Wales 15%

Students leaving school with no recognised qualifications  3.1%, for Wales 1.5%

The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation shows 21% of areas in Blaenau Gwent are in the 10% of the most deprived areas in Wales, a staggering 83% of areas are in the top 50%.

Finally, Child Poverty stands at a disgraceful 20%

Neil and Glenys Kinnock this is part of your legacy and you should be ashamed of yourselves. If your conscience keeps you awake at night try counting tenners instead of sheep.

*Update: Right on cue Guido Fawkes over on order-order.com has released the House of Lords expenses for last year. It turns out that our shameless, troughing first family claimed sixty six thousand pounds of taxpayers money.

Lord Kinnock regularly claims his three hundred pounds per day attendance allowance despite only speaking around once per month.

I live in hope that the people of Blaenau Gwent are paying attention and cease their terminally stupid habit of voting Labour come what may.

Update: Since this was written Stephen Kinnock was foisted on the tribal voters of Aberavon in South Wales and subsequently elected. He now sits in the British Parliament and is currently working tirelessly to overturn the Brexit referendum result and keep the British people locked inside the EU against their wishes.

Glenys Kinnock - Labour Party Hypocrisy In Human Form

Whenever the term socialist hypocrisy is mentioned the first people that spring to mind are the Kinnock family. Its no secret that Neil and Glenys Kinnock have shamelessly made themselves very wealthy by helping themselves to millions of pounds of taxpayers money while at the same time falsely championing equality, fairness and compassion for the poor.

The intention of this post was to examine the first family of troughing as a whole but research revealed that Neil and Glenys Kinnock, together with their spawn, are wealthy ultra hypocrites each in their own right.

Just a rudimentary research lifted the lid on the culture of nepotism and patronage which is the hallmark of the Labour Party and socialist hypocrisy.

I have to give credit to the image makers of the Labour Party, they have the ability to change the public persona of anyone, no matter how awful, into an electable commodity. (see previous postings on Hain, Bryant and co.) Glenys Kinnock is a classic example.

The people were conned into believing that she was the dutiful, fragrant wife of a Labour MP who, as the representative a constituency mired in poverty, had pulled himself up by his own bootstraps to reach the dizzy heights of Leader of the Labour Party.

Glenys Kinnock, we were led to believe, was a noble school teacher dedicated to the education of our children who also empathised with the plight of the poor and downtrodden. The image makers spun that she was a devoted mother who was being touted as a suitable consort for the next Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Absolute nonsense, just scratching the surface of this manufactured image revealed a dedicated, ruthless, hard left extremist with an agenda all of her own.

Her biographies reveal that Glenys Kinnock is a member of the GMB union which is a financial supporter of the Labour Party and famous for its typically socialist habit of ballot rigging.

Glenys is also a member of the NUT (National Union of Teachers). This is now a militant outfit dedicated to the interests of teachers and not to the education of the country's children.

The NUT is led by fellow hard left extremist Christine Blower. In keeping with socialist hypocrisy Blower had an elite education in the Grammar stream of a bilateral school, something which she fights to deny other children.

Her first act as General Secretary of the NUT was to lead the first national teachers strike for decades.

Glenys's colleague Christine Blower lied when she claimed that she didn't belong to any particular faction. Blower was a member of the London Socialist Alliance which morphed into the Socialist Alliance when it welcomed Trotskyist organisations like the Socialist Workers Party, the Internationalist Socialist Group and the extreme communist group Workers Power, into its ranks.

This is the fanatic that leads Glenys's union and influences the education of our children.

Glenys joined the mega gravy train when somehow she gets elected as Member of the European Parliament  for South East Wales, which by coincidence, covers her husband former constituency.

Of all the school teacher mothers in South East Wales, what was it that singled out Glenys Kinnock for this ultra safe seat? There's a bad smell about this appointment and this bad smell turns into a veritable stench when the Kinnock children appear on the Labour Party scene.

Anyway, with a husband and wife team in place surely the people of Blaenau Gwent and South East Wales are in for a new Golden Age of prosperity.

As we've noted previously in the cases of Peter Hain, Chris Bryant et al. when these people get elected they know its a job for life, therefore they take advantage of their new position by putting their constituents needs to one side in order to pursue their personal agenda.

Under the banner of concern for the worlds poor and disadvantaged, Glenys Kinnock set about with gusto her ambition to further the cause of global socialism and the redistribution of other peoples wealth.

Glenys Kinnock's personal agenda kicked off when she joined the Pan European Socialist (PES) group immediately upon her arrival in Brussels.

This insidious group of totalitarians all share a common contempt for democracy.  All members are individual members of the Socialist International which was formed by an alliance of socialist, communist, anarchist and unionist groups from across Europe. This Socialist International split due to the usual hard left habit of bickering over method and is now known as the Progressive Alliance of Socialists.

The current loser in charge of this outfit is the spectacularly incompetent Georges Papandreou, the former Greek socialist Prime Minister who spent his country into bankruptcy and ruin.

Glenys Kinnock who is supposedly committed to spreading democracy elsewhere in the world supported the removal of the democratically elected Papandreou and the imposition of unelected EU bureaucrats to take over the Greek government.

Glenys Kinnock continued to ignore the needs of her constituents and began to redistribute their wealth when she joined the Committee on Development.

This committee was responsible for handing out aid money to developing countries together with the promotion of democratic values and the promotion of good governance and human rights. Glenys also got herself onto the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms, Rights and Justice.

Bearing in mind the actions of the European Union with regard to referendum results and the overthrow of the governments of Greece, Ireland and Italy, its difficult to take Glenys Kinnock's democratic credentials seriously.

In an act of stupefying irony Glenys Kinnock was anointed the Co-President of the African, Caribbean and Pacific-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly which was supposed to promote Human Rights, Democracy and Common Values between these countries.

The truth is that Glenys Kinnock has been given a taxpayer funded platform which she uses to spread her own and her PES colleagues' failed socialist philosophy around the world.

Interestingly, Glenys Kinnock and her colleagues work within the Contou Agreement which promotes this hug- touchy-feely left wing  nonsense around the developing world. This agreement was signed in Contou, the capital of the West African hell hole of Benin.

After independence Benin became a Marxist country, the type of country preferred by Glenys Kinnock and economic collapse soon followed. In the 1979 elections President Kekokou was duly elected and just like the EU leaders Herman von Rumpuy, Jose Manuel Barrosso and Baroness Ashdown, he was the only candidate allowed.

Kekokou promptly put into practice the same policies preached by Glenys Kinnock, the Labour Party and her fellow EU socialists. He put the petrol industry, the banks, all other businesses and economic activity under government control with predictable results. The professional class left the country, the economy collapsed even further and the country has never recovered.

Be advised that Glenys Kinnock and her Labour Party comrades are busy applying the same failed logic to Wales and history will confirm that the results will be the same. Wales is already more than halfway there.

Glenys Kinnock likes a junket and one famous anecdote had her on a taxpayer funded jolly to Barbados where the banana market was the main issue on the agenda.  If this is how she spends her time it is abundantly clear that poverty and despair in South East Wales is way down the list of her priorities.

More evidence of Glenys Kinnock's hypocrisy is her membership of the British Humanist Association which is dedicated to secularism, human rights, democracy and egalitarianism (the removal of inequalities among people). She has failed on all fronts.

There's precious little human rights in the African countries, who's leaders she rubbed shoulders with as Co-President of the EU-JPA.

Glenys Kinnock could have demonstrated her commitment to egalitarianism by redistributing her own vast wealth among the poor people she represented, but in line with all the other Labour Party hypocrites it is unlikely she will practice what she preaches with her own ill gotten gains.

On the subject of equality, as was the case with socialist governments the world over, Glenys Kinnock has demonstrated that equality is only for the little people it does not apply to the elites of our modern day political class.

The peasants of South East Wales should know their place and give the Labour Party thanks for their generous welfare cheques. In exchange for that thanks your votes will do.

If the choice of Glenys Kinnock as MEP for South East Wales had a bad smell about it then the questionable appointment of her daughter Rachel leaves a real bad odour in the air.

 Rachel Kinnock gave up her job in the taxpayer funded British film industry and surfaced in her mothers taxpayer funded EU office on a taxpayer funded salary. The hard pressed taxpayers of Blaenau Gwent are now paying for not one, not two but three members of the Kinnock family.

Glenys never misses an opportunity to pick the taxpayers pocket for that extra few pennies.  She was caught red handed signing in at dawn on Friday in order to claim the MEP,s daily two hundred and sixty pounds attendance allowance, before heading to the airport for a weekend at home.

There was a fiddle at the airport too. Glenys Kinnock would buy Economy Class tickets then claim Business Class fares from the taxpayer, pocketing the difference. At the airport she would then hassle the check in staff for an upgrade to Business Class, using the "don't you know who I am" ruse no doubt.

It boggles the mind that the hard pressed taxpayers of South East Wales are giving this trougher two hundred and sixty pounds per day on top of her salary and expenses, just for turning up for work.

After fifteen years of selfless devotion to the worlds poor outside of South East Wales and with a taxpayer funded fortune in the bank, that bad odour turns into a outright stench when Glenys Kinnock is offered the job of Minister for Europe in Gordon Browns government.

This position is in the House of Lords, an institution which is supposedly hated by the Kinnocks, who want it abolished. The very same Kinnocks who swore by all that is holy that they would never sit on those red benches until hereditary peers were abolished.

It appears that their long held principles are not worth as much as a taxpayer funded package of allowances and expenses, therefore Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead's backside is firmly planted onto the same red benches as her husband Lord Kinnock of Bedwellty, and their bank accounts are once again being stuffed with taxpayers money.

One drawback of Glenys Kinnock moving seamlessly from the EU gravy train to the House of Lords was that Rachel Kinnock was now out of a job...........but only for a little while.  The stench of nepotism and patronage that accompanies this family returns once more as Rachel surfaces in Gordon Brown's office as a member of his political staff.

Its unclear whether her salary was taxpayer funded or paid out of Labour Party coffers but if past form is anything to go by we can take an educated guess.

It doesn't end there for poor Rachel - when Gordon Brown got kicked out of office she lost her job yet again...........not for long...that old familiar whiff of nepotism comes to her rescue once more. She has now miraculously appeared in Red Ed Miliband's office as an Events Organiser or some other such non job.

Its unlikely that these jobs were advertised to the world outside of the incestuous political class but they are more likely the result of Labour party string pulling, patronage and downright nepotism.

We the people are being used, abused, ripped off and taken for fools.

The Kinnock family are so far removed from the people of South East Wales, and Blaenau Gwent in particular, that they might as well be on another planet.

While she has grown rich out of representing them, the people of South East Wales continue to suffer the indignity and hopelessness of high unemployment, welfare dependency, poor health, substandard educational achievement, drink and drug fuelled crime.

While Glenys Kinnock enjoys the lifestyle of the class she claims to despise, there is no evidence that conditions will ever improve for the people she represented for all those years.
