A FLABBY HAPPY NEW YEAR?

Betteridges law of headlines is an adage that states “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered with the word no.” So the answer to my headline is NO! Unless we start using the word no that is. A new year resolution could be to say no more often.

We are living in flabby times with flabby men and women, lacking strength, force, and substance strangely sometimes also having soft, loose, unhealthy flesh from being out of shape. The Starminator comes to mind -who is sounding more like a dalek as he becomes ever more stressed by his own absurdity - in the words of Kemi B he doesn't have the Baubles - also Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham. They all have strange alien skin – kind of shiny and layered on. Cameron definitely had this. Maybe they are aliens somehow impersonating humans but not getting it quite right. The Ed Millibean also qualifies obviously from way back with his attempt to eat that bacon sandwich.

Strange nasal voices abound; the women don't get off either with their strange “Lego” hair styles. There is something particularly unpleasant about a progressive left feminist. The excellent Intel lady caricatured Rachel from accounts as an automaton that needs charging and has had malfunctions such as nodding excessively during pmqs. Never has a front bench looked so deeply unhappy. Their attempts at jollity are ersatz. Our politics are full of nonsense. We don't need satire any more – we swim in a reality that has made it redundant. The nightmare is a Chinese style globalist technocracy. We will have great statues of Keir Starmer holding a clipboard and pen.

Tis time to call a spade a spade, to rescue the English Language from euphemisms, Kafkaesque word-ply, word salads, or Orwellian double think; that originates in the mangling of words from our wonderfully rich language. Politicians have always been economical with the actualité. I suppose it goes with the job. But the spooky reality denial of this Labour party and downright lying takes things to a new low. We live in a time of blatant nonsense that is correct simply because of it's ideological base and unchallenged repetition. Everyday people live in the real everyday world where actions have consequences. That is what growing up is all about, as the silent majority we grow up and face up to uncomfortable truths... like the basic ones such as no one gets out alive.

The word no is so short and and clean. Us Brits can use a hundred words to say it. But we must not say yes when we mean no or no when we mean yes. It can make for moments of some comfort but we pay a bigger price in the long run. We don't have to be rude just firm and assertive – remember those qualities anybody? No can be said with love -as can Yes.

We need strong feisty women and strong men with baubles. No to the flabby civil service. No to indoctrination in education. No to identity politics that has infected all our institutions. No to #Be kind. No to two tier policing which again may help with short term tensions but is a disaster. As soon as a police-person (see what I did there) got down on one knee they were lost. No to useful idiots or sheeple who just go along with things. They are the ones that get my goat more than the activists - it is the flabby bureaucrats that enable evil in the long run.

Even the more alternative media has become an endless circus of rinse and repeat. Do we really want another heated debate on GB news with a washed up ex Labour party advisor? Endless commentators blathering on about this country. It was obvious that this Government were going to be a disaster – I said so before the election. Shall I explain children “ Because they are beholden to identity politics and social justice ideology. Even more than the Tory’s. It's that simple. We will keep hitting the reality buffers until everything breaks.

Think of the power the child experiences when they first say no to their parents, Jesus said no to his parents and disobeyed them. And the base line is You don't have to apologise, justify yourself, or explain. It's time to get off any fences, stick heads over parapets to shout or quietly say NO MORE! And if they find an excuse to stop the next general election. We say NO WAY!
