Seems Boy George song is being censored by part of the music industry. We have truly entered into a George Orwell era. So I am going to daily repost for next 7 days.
Homeless people in the UK: 410,000.
Foreign citizens on UK benefits: 3.4 million.
Why spend even a £1 on luxury hotels and buffets for illegal migrants while your own people are homeless?
Little boy in Sweden: "Hey, daddy, can we go play in the park?"
Dad: "Sorry, son, the Muslims have taken over and now own the parks in Sweden. We have to stay home. It is not safe for us."
Europe is committing suicide.
Remember last week when we discovered Spain had a colony in Africa? Yeah me too, that was fun. Turns out they have 7. The UK has 14, France has 13, the Netherlands has 6, and Denmark has two including Greenland. Yet a tiny nation of Jews living in their ancestral homeland with absolutely zero overseas holdings, let alone in Africa, are the colonizers? Mom was right, the biggest hypocrites really do scream the loudest.
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 🇬🇧
The Boy George song We Will Dance Again has been removed by Bandcamp and is no longer available there. There is an effort to silence Boy George. We won’t be silenced.
