The Witch had her go on the podium yesterday and the similarities between her effort and what we had heard the day before were quite marked. Not surprisingly the difference that leaped out of the page was the element of compulsion in all she said. 'You will stay at school until you are 18...'. The recurring theme of 'we know what is best for you and you will therefore do as you are told' is as recurring as it is bloody irritating. Garth George encapsulates the Time for a Change theme well in his column today cataloguing all the things I've been harping on about for years - over regulation, armies of bureaucrats, over taxation and so on and so on.
Witch had two 'key' words (pardon the pun) yesterday. Sustainability (which has already received at least some of the ridicule it deserves) and transparency. In the latter she was trying to labour (there I go again) the point that if you vote for her mob you get what you vote for. No hidden agendas, no surprises. We do as we say. How can the woman sleep at night? (perhaps she doesn't - stays up all night hatching controlling plans)
Please show me a Labour manifesto of the last ten years that contained scrapping the Privy Council, anti-smacking legislation or the Electoral Finance Act. And that is just for openers. All politicians are born liars and benders of veracity but this mob is beyond belief. They have been there too long and will say anything to ensure that they stay longer. Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to ensure that no such thing occurs.
