The Colourblind Eye

Here to watch what's going on in the world; just seeing things in a different colour-scheme to most other people.

I'm in a pissed off mood. The more that I fight to wake people up, the more that I feel that we are being drowned by a tsunami of parasitic thinking and associated suicidal empathy.

Dear HM Government, (UK)

Firstly, congratulations. You’ve managed to discover a brand-new definition of transparency.

Apparently, the people who write the laws can have their criminal records kept secret from the very people expected to obey those laws. That’s an impressive piece of political gymnastics.

The rest of us apply for jobs, volunteer roles, taxi licences, security passes, and all manner of positions where background checks are considered perfectly reasonable. Yet when it comes to those entrusted with running the country… suddenly privacy becomes the highest constitutional principle.

Forgive us if we’re a little confused.

If a criminal record is irrelevant to holding public office, then explain why. If it is relevant, then surely voters deserve to know before they hand over power at the ballot box.

Democracy relies on informed consent. It’s difficult to make an informed choice if important information about elected representatives is deliberately withheld.

This isn’t about conducting witch hunts or judging people for minor mistakes made decades ago. It’s about accountability. Those who expect the public’s trust should be prepared to earn it through openness, not secrecy.
Unlike the government’s pursuit of Veterans 🤔

So, a simple question:

Why should MPs and ministers be held to a lower standard of transparency than many ordinary citizens applying for everyday jobs?

After all, “nothing to hide” seems to apply enthusiastically to taxpayers, but rather less enthusiastically to taxpayers’ employees.

Is transparency now something that’s only expected of the governed, while the governors are exempt?
Abit like the COVID vaccine 🤔 there is a pattern,

Perhaps we’ve misunderstood how equality works. We foolishly assumed the same standards applied to everyone. It would appear they do… right up until someone becomes an MP.

The British public doesn’t expect perfection.

We do, however, expect honesty, accountability, and the same standards from those who make our laws as they expect from those who obey them.

Yours, slightly bewildered,

A Taxpayer 🇬🇧

@labourlewis Maybe that's better than being backed by multiple billionaires to dismantle whole countries against the will of the majority of people in those countries.

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@ABridgen It's been an inauspicious start! Trust and respect is an absolute necessity for successful teams. Politicians behaviour, of all parties, are the anathema of these values. Restore and Reform show no signs of being any different. We need adults not children.

@RupertLowe10 Your approach was hardly sincere. Pathetic absolutely pathetic

🇪🇸🇲🇦 The Mayor of Ceuta just called out Sánchez’ government for LYING about the migrant returns!

He says 10,000–15,000 illegals are STILL sleeping on the streets and beaches with makeshift camps.

I think people are more inclined to trust the actual folks on the ground rather than the “situation under control” slop being sold by the feds.

60,000+ poured into Ceuta... this is FAR from over.

@visegrad24 It's pure deflection - act like the world isn't falling apart so people people who aren't awake think everything must be under control / normal. It's a reverse form of cognitive dissonance - 100% gaslighting 101. Pure evil

@Soulfare1427 @JChimirie66677 Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing - it takes many forms!

[John F. Kennedy Jnr Awakening @JohnfKennedy608]

Holy Crap!

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@AllisonPearson Great news, well done

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@SBarrettBar again...

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@ABridgen The word 'Shyster' comes to mind in respect of persons considering the case

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@GBPolitcs @thetimes The other question is how long does it take for those protective behaviours to be reversed even if tax rates are cut!

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Here is a Labour MP linking the appalling Berlin Pride attack on Reform UK.

It’s simply unhinged.

The Left will do literally anything to avoid confronting the Islamist threat.

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@CliveSimpson63 @SpeechUnion I read he's got quite a few connections to the dirty dealings with the grooming gangs scandals in Greater Manchester too. So he'll be absolutely doubling down on his support I would imagine.

🚨NEW: HMRC data shows 75,000 'Saturday jobs' for 16-18 year olds, representing 15% of the total, have disappeared since Labour came to power

@andyburnham The start of what though 🫣? Let's actually bring back certainty and common sense. Smaller state, less welfare, lower taxes, zero illegal migration, highly managed permissible migration that's practically zero and expell all illegal aliens. Hope = horseshit.

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@JamesSa01681654 @CutMyTaxUK It's almost like they either find taxation easier to consider than actually doing the harder maths and knowing how to stimulate the economy.Or, probably more likely, the control psychology - people who are poorer and divided are easier to control.

[The Colourblind Eye @colourblind_01]

@CutMyTaxUK Well, I'll be damned. I am truly shocked - I mean ITS NOT LIKE WE DON'T BLOODY KNOW HIGHER TAXES LEAD TO LOWER TAX RECEIPTS. FFS!
