Well just woke up after a few hours sleep. I thought I was having a nightmare, because when I turned the TV on I saw Charlie Whealen.
Britain needs to see a stable government, because the country is on a cliff edge.
Gordon Brown, and Labour, has to resign, they have been thoroughly beaten in the polls. They have no mandate at all.
We need to see stability soon, or god help us.
Gordon Brown is deluded. He is truly desperate to stay in power.
This is just a blog about my opinions on what is going on in my country be it local or national.

Not What The Country Needed
Well I was up all night, had an hours kip, and got the kids to school and now I'm back here.
The country needed a Tory majority to govern properly, but they didn't get that.
How?
I'll leave that to the experts.
Brown lost close to 100 seats, he has a smaller percentage of the vote, yet he still wants to govern.
There is a word for that.
It's called a dictatorship.
Brown has NO mandate, the public have spoken loud and clear.
The people of this nation doesn't want Gordon Brown as the Prime Minister.

Very curious, this election so far
It's nearly 3am and I am still up watching the election.
I have seen a 16% swing to the Torys, an 11% swing to the Torys, and a 5% swing to the Torys.
Why aren't the Torys gaining more seats?
Take Edgbaston, the Torys need a 2% swing to gain the seat, but it is on a recount.
This is a very strange election so far.

In about 30 hours we will know...
What future this Country has.
When Labour came to power in 1997, they promised so much.
13 years later look at what this country has become.
Labour have all but ruined this country. You just have to look at some of my blogs, and others on the blogosphere, to see what has happened to this country over the last 13 years.
Education - UK slipped to 24th on English and math, pupils running riot in schools, pupils being taught by classroom assistants not qualified teachers, league tables,
Law and order - crime up, no (real) police on the beat, social breakdown, knife crime up, gun crime up, League tables,
Justice - criminals let out early to commit more crimes, ASBOs, prison sentences that don't fit the crime,
Hospital infections, not enough nurses to cover wards, care assistants on wards instead of proper nurses, league tables,
Economy ruined, 1.5 trillion in debt, our children and grandchildren will pay off this debt,
Millions on benefits,
MPs expenses,
A promise of a referendum on Europe broken, Immigration out of control,
Gordon Brown,
Tony Blair,
War in Iraq, War in Afghanistan, Soldiers not given proper equipment, soldiers dying because of underfunding, soldiers dying because they weren't given the right vehicles, soldiers dying due to the lack of helicopters.
But the worst thing Labour has done is the breaking of the MILITARY COVENANT.
How can anyone vote for Labour after what they have done to this country?
I realise there is party loyalty, but for crying out loud what does it take for labour supporters to realise what 5 more years of labour will do to this country.
This country was once called GREAT BRITAIN, what Labour has done is reduce us to little Britain.
Labour should be sent, politically, to the stone age.

Postal Voting Fraud
Going on from Journalist is attacked Investigating Postal Voting Fraud is another article on postal fraud.
Thanks to http://uknewsnetwork.blogspot.com/ for this find.
Labour election fraud ‘would disgrace a banana republic’
That is the headline to this article which was first published in April 2005.
An extract;
SIX middle-aged Muslim men, all pillars of their communities, won seats on Britain’s biggest local authority in the most corrupt election campaign since the Victorian era.
Vote-riggers exploited weaknesses in the postal voting system to steal thousands of ballot papers and mark them for Labour, helping the party to take first place in elections to Birmingham City Council.
They believed that their cheating would be hidden for ever in the secrecy of the strong boxes where counted votes are stored, never suspecting that a judge would take the rare step of smashing the seals and tracing the ballots back to the voters. Election corruption has been so rare in the past 100 years that lawyers have struggled to find examples since the late 19th century, when Britain was adjusting to the novelty of universal male suffrage.
If it was this bad 5 years ago, what could it be like now?
All postal votes must be scrutinised before being added to the votes of the ballot box. There is too much of a chance of fraud using postal votes.
I wonder if that is why Labour bought postal voting in?

Journalist is attacked Investigating Postal Voting Fraud
I found this article through http://twitter.com/torybear
An extract;
When I look back on it now what surprises me is how disarmingly polite my attackers were.
"What are you doing?" asked one of the two, seemingly inquisitive, Asian teenagers who approached me on a quiet cul-de-sac in Bow, east London, shortly after 1pm yesterday.
"There's been a photographer around here, do you know her?" he added.
I didn't, but I explained I was a journalist for The Independent looking to speak to a man at an address in the area, who was standing as a candidate in the local elections, about allegations of postal vote fraud. "Can we see your note pad," the boy asked.
I declined and then the first punch came – landing straight on my nose, sending blood and tears streaming down my face. Then another. Then another.

Well someone has something to hide where this journalist was investigating.
An extract;
What brought me to Bow yesterday were allegations of widespread postal voting fraud. Both the local Conservative and Respect parties in Tower Hamlets have been looking through the new electoral rolls for properties that have an alarmingly high number of adults registered to one address. The area has a large Bengali population and this type of fraud is unfortunately all too common. In some instances there have been as many as 20 Bengali names supposedly living in two or three-bedroom flats. When journalists have previously called, all too often there are far fewer living there. In some instances, no Bengalis at all.
It is worrying that the postal voting system can so easily be manipulated so people can commit fraud.
If it is that easy to commit fraud, then the postal voting system should be scrapped or severely changed so that it is near impossible to commit fraud.

Old Holborn For MP
I have received a few questions on why I have a link to another blogger who is standing to become an MP, in Cambridge, when I live in North Wales.Well one of Old Holborn's latest blogs should explain why.
I should say there are some swear words in the following;
++What you actually want - Exclusive+++
Whilst the usual career politicians are wandering around telling you what you want and what you're going to get whether you like it or not, I'd like to refer my readers back to the whole reason I'm standing for Parliament in Cambridge.
You never get asked. Well, twice a decade, 10 times in your entire life if you're lucky. I've never voted in referendum because I've never been asked to and I'm two thirds of the way through my tobacco and Bordeaux soaked existence, I reckon.
I've seen war, recession, poverty, membership of an unelected EU stealing my money, terrorism, corruption, half my earnings grabbed by the State, DNA databases, Biometric profiling, my emails are read by the State along with my phone calls and I'm watched on CCTV everywhere I go.
And nobody asked me if this was OK. Well, they sort of did 5 years ago and 78% of the people who could vote, said FUCK OFF. But alas, our corrupt first past the post system means the 22% who did want it can now impose all of the above of me and my family. Regardless.
Here's the results from the Jury Team/Gallop poll that actually asked people, real people , (not policy wonks or Party Special Advisers) what they wanted, rather than telling them what they were going to get.
•A referendum on the EU - 83% - IGNORED
•Limiting Govt borrowing to 10% of expenditure - 47% - IGNORED
•Stopping Casino banking by nationalised banks - 72% - IGNORED
•Limiting benefits to no children claimants to 80% of minimum wage - 63% - IGNORED
•Harsher punishment for violent offenders - 78% - IGNORED
•Reducing troops in Afghanistan to match other Nato countries - 67% - IGNORED
•Private medical insurance for non EU citizens - 68% - IGNORED
•10 years to qualify for a British passport - 81% - IGNORED
•An English Parliament - 58% - IGNORED
•Proportional Representation - 54% - IGNORED
•5% on demand referendums - 71% - IGNORED
So those are the policies I'm standing on. The policies most of the people of this country actually want and most of the policies denied to them by a mere 646 self serving, union serving, big business serving, lobbyist serving bastards. When they can be bothered to ask you. Twice a decade.
I don't agree with all of them, but I don't count. WE do. And it's time we did.
Prepare to be brutally governed by yet another minority government for yet another 5 years. And if you count the unelected and unaccountable European Commission, for ever. You count for nothing, except your hard earned money, of course. They just can't get enough of that.
I would love to see more free thinking MPs who would vote to look after their constituents even if it's goes against their own party.
People say he hasn't got a chance, but if the idea of what Old Holborn is doing gets through to enough people then that, in my opinion, is a good thing.
I have been blogging for about 8 months now and what I have found in the blogoshere has opened my eyes to what is going on in the UK and the world in general.
I want people to be better informed on what is happening in Parliament and what the MPs and the Government are doing to this country. Like who is really pulling the strings in government. We have all heard the stories about the Unite Union owning the Labour Party, and that Peter Mandelson is the real power in government.
I ask you to have a look at Old Holborn's site and check out what he wants to see in Parliament.

The Promise to our Military
Thanks to Cold Steel Rain's Twitter for this find.
The Leaders last night made promises to our military.
Whoever is voted into power must make sure our military gets the best equipment, pay and care because if they break the promises they made, the public will never forgive them.

Alan Johnson announces crackdown on student visas
That is the headline to this article in the Guardian.
Have Labour just realised there is a problem with abuse of the student visa program?
Labour have had years to sort this problem out, but they did nothing.
Only now, with an election due, it has now become a problem.
