Let’s have a think about what’s happening in Makerfield.
This by election is costing taxpayers £226,208. And it’s happening because a Labour MP chose to step aside to make room for Andy Burnham’s leadership ambitions. He admitted that himself.
But here’s some more interesting figures.
If Burnham wins, he’ll have to resign as Greater Manchester Mayor too. That triggers another election costing taxpayers around £4.7 million.
So in total, nearly £5 million of public money could be spent not on improving services, fixing roads, supporting communities or helping struggling families, but on political career ambitions.
People are struggling with bills, crime, NHS waiting lists and communities being ignored. Yet Westminster politics still seems focused on who climbs the ladder next.
That’s what frustrates people. Not democracy. Political games made to look like democracy.
The Oil Lie
Oil isn’t rare, it’s also not made from dead dinosaurs. It’s the 2nd most common liquid after water and is the Earth’s lifeblood. The scarcity myth was a Rockefeller lie to dramatically increase the oil price.
The system tells you that oil is liquefied dinosaurs (biotic theory) so you believe it's scarce and pay whatever they want. Lie. Oil is abiotic—a liquid mineral generated by the Earth's own engine through high-pressure and high-temperature processes in the mantle. It is the lubricant for tectonic plates. Depleted wells from the 70s have been found to be fuller today than before.
Why?
Because the Earth's system pumps it from the subsoil. It doesn't run out; it regenerates. By extracting it on a massive scale, we are drying out the Earth's gears. This is why there are more earthquakes and creaking faults: we are stripping the oil from the engine.
The fossil theory (coined by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 19th century) is the greatest economic hack in history. If oil came from organic matter, it would have a biological signature (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.) that would degrade. Crude oil is pure polymeric hydrocarbon.
The Thomas Gold Thesis
This expert (whom the system tried to discredit) proved that methane and oil rise from the depths of the mantle. Hydrocarbons are primordial constituents of the Earth's formation. By calling it fossil, they tell you it's a resource that's running out. If Humanity knew that oil is like tap water for the Earth, the geopolitics of the parasites would go down the drain in a single day.
@BritishTuga@TheAliceSmith There's obviously a danger of that happening, equally there's a strong likelihood that there won't be much of a split, since the Cons and reform will be tiny by then.
@silentrob73@TheAliceSmith Both are excellent reasons to vote for him. I am a libertarian, not a liberal. I am a Christian, and I love my nation. Doesn't make me a nationalist. Do you love your nation at all?
People attacking Charlie Downes after what he said it means to be British, on Alex Phillips’ show last night are very ignorant.
Charlie said - “It is ancestry and Christian faith” - and he is correct.
“That the Union of the two Kingdoms may be perpetual, under the Protection of Almighty God.” - The Acts of Union 1707 - Article XXII
Christianity and God are mentioned another 10 times in The Acts of Union, our flag has 3 crosses in.
This isn’t just about the Union, we can also look at the individual Kingdoms, England was born out of Christianity. Same with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
For the last 1000+ years our ancestors have been Christian. Many of our laws and traditions come from our Christian faith.
Britain wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for our ancestors, who were Christian.
So yes, Charlie is correct - a part of the identity of the British people ‘is ancestry and Christian faith’.
