While a very hypocritical Prime Minister parades himself telling the British people to save food, he attends a high-rank meeting with a fourteen course meal including extremely expensive wines and 300,000 workers are said to be about to lose their jobs in 2008.

In this climate of utter injustice, Harriet Harmann proposes to discriminate against white working men. So here we go. We might end up with hundreds of thousands of unemployed white male workers roaming the streets of Britain with little to do, in despair, with a lot of anger and resentment and a very intense craving to do something dramatic to change this country beyond recognition.

Perhaps, after all,  real political change is not so far away. All we need to do is to prepare ourselves to blow the trumpets and the rotten walls of Jericho will fall.

I do not know as much as I would like to know about British history, but the Labour Party might be the only political party that started campaigning for a by-election in Scotland without having a candidate because the candidate they had in mind decided to walk away. Some people are so terribly ashamed of being linked to Labour that they just find any possible excuse not to stand.

There is one expression in Spanish that says it all: Trágame, Tierra (Swallow me, Earth). When we did not think that things could get any worse for Labour, well, we were mistaken. What was the name of the Labour Leader in the Scottish Parliament that was forced to resign?

If Labour continues to lose Council elections and ‘irrelevant’ by-elections, losing supporters, with MPs being investigated for corruption and forced to resign, and Ministers that do not know that 20 is more than 10, drizzle will become a full blast storm that will send Labour into oblivion.

For almost twenty-years I have been hearing about voter’s apathy. Voter’s apathy this, voter’s apathy that and in spite of all the fraud-prone systems introduced by the Labour government to motivate people to vote there has been no dramatic improvement. All we have got is case after case of postal ballot fraud, further complications, delayed results and added costs.

Do you want to make a difference? Get moving. Go to your Polling Station on July 3rd, and do vote. I very often hear people say ‘I do not bother to vote, because my vote would not make a difference’. Well, your vote will not make a difference if you do not vote.

I strongly believe that there is no such a thing as a ‘paper candidate.’ We might not have the means to have candidates standing in every constituency or in every ward, but this does not mean that those wanting to support us have no right to have a say. Democracy begins and ends with the right of the individual voter to express his or her views with ballots. If we could add up the number of votes we get in local elections when people can vote regardless of where they live, we would already have Members of Parliament.
