Sassy Conservative

Special Thanks To: Keep Right Online.

Ladies and gentleman, fellow countrymen go forth today and do your democratic duty.

Today you have an opportunity to Vote for Change. To vote for the change we all so desperately need, in these times of economic and political instability.

The EU must hear the British public’s voice. Let us be loud and let us be firm.

We want a referendum.

Vote Conservative today.

Sassy signed it. Will you?

It has come to my attention recently that Birmingham Young Labour intends to fight the battle that is the upcoming European Elections with all their vigour and might. Their tremendous campaigning force is not to be sneered at, for fear that the hordes of activists will soon pounce utilising their charisma, wit and intelligence to demolish any opposition.

Sound bizarre? Well, I thought I’d do them a favour since their own PR efforts are so criminally incompetent.

In actual fact, the Labour elite squad seems to consist of a pitiful five members (plus the ‘host’ organisation, thrown in there for good measure) who have had yet another of their clandestine meetings to discuss how threatened they feel by the BNP and to, “find out how YOU can make a difference!”

Me? I’d have loved to go, but the thought of spending an hour (at 6.30am no-less) with Brown’s Brummie Brigade caused me to wretch so violently I almost uttered the words, “Bring Blair Back!”

I submit for you, dear readers, the sumation of Young Labour’s efforts; modesty preserved for those intelligent enough to not attend/not respond altogether. May I suggest some better event organisation? Perhaps a better time? Or even a more credible political party?

Good turn out, then?

Alistair Darling’s ‘borrow and spend’ Budget which unfolded this week was full of false ideas, false intentions and false calculations. A politically motivated budget is not quite what the country needs as the British economy experiences the worst recession since the Second World War. Despite what the Budget may have you think, Britain’s top earners are not the only one’s who have to pay the price of Labour’s mishandling of the economy and irresponsible borrowing- it will hit the many! In fact, every new born will inherit a fair share of this government’s mismanagement.

So having finally agreed that the economy is in shambles, largely thanks to Labour’s ill-informed economic policy, one would hope that business and enterprise would finally begin to be encouraged, but no, instead, the Budget has enraged key business leaders across the West Midlands. Despite the fact that 8.4 per cent of the workforce in the West Midlands region is unemployed- this is the worst unemployment figure in the country- Mr Darling decided that Leeds and Manchester, both Labour-run Councils are more deserving of the City Region status. In his decision, Mr Darling agreed that plans to create 44,000 jobs in the region as an immediate impact of the City region status, were not as important as party politics. Ultimately, the West Midland’s population have been ‘Punished…for not voting Labour’.

Now let us have a look at the Labour governments explanation:

…

Well, we’re still waiting on it!

Wednesday was Budget Day. The borrowing figures got the headlines - and rightly so. We’re in a new age of austerity yet this Government is trapped in the old age of irresponsibility. Sitting there in the House of Commons listening to the Chancellor tell us he was planning to borrow more in the next two years than all previous governments combined left me open-mouthed. I used to say this Government seems intent on saddling future generations with debt. I was wrong. After this week, they’re going to crush them.

But, as ever, the real story of Labour’s Budgets comes after the Chancellor sits down and you get to unpack truth from fiction. And this year, there was more fiction than normal. Within an hour the IMF had rubbished his growth forecasts, suggesting Labour’s Debt Crisis will be even worse. Then their claim that only the rich would carry the burden of their mistakes was dismissed - their tax rises will hit the many, not the few, with everyone earning over £20,000 worse off. And by Thursday it became clear that there’s an even bigger black hole in their figures - which will be plugged by guess who? Yes, all of us - in even higher taxes. This Budget can be summed up in one word: dishonest.

Alistair Darling’s 2009 Budget released yesterday has not kept many smiles on people’s faces. We are now faced with a government that has lied to us, broken manifesto promises while feasting on Taxpayer’s money and worst of all not even realising the damage it has caused through irresponsible borrowing. 

Nonetheless, on the brighter side, it’s St George’s Day today- a day to value and celebrate English culture formally. Have a good one!

Happy Birthday to the Queen who is celebrating her 83rd Birthday today!

I’ve finally found some time today to make a blog post after a poorly yet busy week. It wasn’t just chocolate eggs that made me smile today as I listened to Blaney’s Blarney blogtalkradio as he set out an insiteful and witty take on this weeks political incidents.  While the naughty left-wing conspirator, McBride, has been found out by the media, Obama’s brother has been denied entry into the UK. But for details on both of these stories and more listen here.

I just love festivals and celebrations of all kinds, which give families and loved one’s the chance to come together and spend precious time with each other. Given such increasingly busy and hectic lifestyles we lead, such festivals and get-togethers are really a bliss so may you enjoy the remainder of this bank holiday weekend.
