MY POLITICS - OR NOT ??? A PIECE FOR MY BLOG
An easy one for me
as I don’t actually have any interest in politics either national or local at
all, unless any of it directly affects any major part of my life. This is especially so now in the latter part
of my life when nothing much except illness affects me anyway.
For the record I
have in the past served on local committees mainly concerned with regeneration
or planning matters where local or national politics have not been a major
issue.
In any case most
politics consists of a bunch of self centred wankers trying as hard as they can
to push forward their own ideas of progress whilst pleasing as many of their
supporters as they can without upsetting too many on the other side. And quite possibly making a few quid out of it for themselves.
I have never in my
life voted for any political party and never ever will as they mostly spew out
nothing but useless shit in their effort to raise what they call “funds”.
Whenever anything
has ever happened in my life that has or might have the result in making any
kind of adverse effect on my lifestyle I have gone directly to the rule-makers or even the law-makers and
made so much of a nuisance of my self to make them seriously think of changing
the rules, mostly with reasonable success.
There are of
course exceptions to the rule in one of whom the exceptional Oona King come
immediately to mind. The genes of her
ancestors – and more recently her uncle – Martin Luther King - is a fine
example and it was no surprise for me when Oona was elevated to the House of
Lords. Perhaps to get her out of the way
perhaps, but she is a powerful individual in her own right. The genes of her venerable ancestors still
runs through her veins and not a person to deliberately get on the wrong side
of.
