Selective Memory

This post was (in part) triggered by something Pa Broon said in the comments of the Vote With Your Heart post.

He reminds us that the people of Scotland are not (nor have been in recent times) against the people of England. The thing that unites us is our common disgust for Westminster. Parliamentarians would like us to forget that. They want to appear as pure as the driven snow whilst we tear at each others throats. Let's them off the hook, see?

Just like those morons in the Labour party would have us believe that they managed the country flawlessly for thirteen years. They did not. They piled mistake on top of mistake, had themselves a whale of a time doing more damage to the UK than we have seen in the last 60 years, and now? They blame the Tories. So do I, actually. I recall watching PMQ's when Colostomy Brown was at the helm, and I cannot recall too much opposition going on. The Tories are as guilty as those failures in Labour, yet they (the Tories) would happily allow us to believe that they (the Tories) were entirely blameless for the fiasco we now have to deal with.

As if that weren't bad enough, the conservatives and the ZaNuLabourites would now be completely happy for us all to look at the EU when something/everything goes badly wrong. "Blame them" is the battle-cry.

Labour, the same party screeching endlessly about high energy costs, are the same party that began all this green nonsense, egged on by Brussels, who never saw a gravy-train not worth leaping aboard. Fifteen years later, when those admirable souls who have consistently campaigned against the greenies have finally proven that warble gloaming is a world-class scam, we are billions the poorer for it. Those who spinelessly, slavishly agreed to all the demands have no idea how much financial harm they have done to citizens and businesses. Elsewhere in Europe, the countries that aren't too interested in the green agenda simply ignore it.

But, I digress, slightly.

Back to the blame game.

Yes-it was Labours fault. (They are/were too weak-minded and selfish to stop it).

Yes-it was Conservatives fault. (They didn't do enough to stop it).

Yes-it is/was all the fault of the EU. (They are unaccountable for anything, why would they stop it?)

And yes-it is/was mostly our fault. (We were/are glued to the TV and WE chose to do nothing to stop anything).

Divide and conquer.

Works every time.

Just when will we wise up to that and rise above that?

The next time you are asked to tick a box for any political party, remember this image:

Fix it firmly in your mind's eye then either vote for the independent on the ticket, or turn around and go back home. Before you do, tear up the ballot in front of the officials. Tell the sleazy hopefuls loitering outside the polling station what you did, and why you did it.

Voting for the same idiots hasn't worked for decades.

So. Don't. Make. The. Same. Mistake. Again.

Ever.
