Labour's Manifesto For Growth Will Only Grow Debt And Bureucracy

 "I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money."- Thomas Sowell, American economis.

 

A week after taking over from the clueless Conservative government, the first policy moves we saw from Keir Statmer's Labour administration were a move to restore planning targets, a policy the Conservatives abandoned in 2021, and the creation of a National Wealth Fund that has so little money it will make no difference to anything. By contrast, the last four finance minister to take office after a long spell in opposition made big, bold reforms in their first few days. 

The blunt truth is that now, a hundred days into their tenure, and despite years of preparation,  Prime MinisterKeir Starmer, Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the rest of the government clearly haven't a clue. its obvious they don't even understand what Britain's problems are let alone how to go about solving them. 

When a party just been elected with a landslide majority, a new government has the opprtunity, during its honeymoon period, to seize the moment, and announce major changes in policy that will make a reshape the economy and bring about social change. We were told, perhaps slightly too often, that Starmer would deliver 'the change' Britain needed and Reeves would be an ambitious, hyperactive finance minister, assembling the most expert minds in the country to deliver growth, create new partnerships with industry and draw major global investors into a “stable” country, all driven by something called “securonomics”, whatever the heck that might mean. 

When politicians resort to talking about delivering change without being specific on what change they intend to deliver, it is always a bad sign.

So how’s that delivering change thing going? Not so well apparently. A few days ahead of her first budget, Reeves' plans have been thrown into disarray. Having already had to water down plans to tax the wealthy, and increase Capital Gains Tax, only to find the rich people she hoped to fund 'change' from were leabing the country in droves while the 'eperts she had surrounded herself with had miscalculated the cost of state pensions increases by £100 million.

By the end of the week, we had the launch of the National Wealth Fund which, despite the presence of that financial titan Mark Carney, seemed to add up to £7bn of subsidised investments, a sum so tiny in relation to a £1 trillion economy as to make no difference to anything. And that was the entire package.

 

Like all socialist movements, Labour is utterly clueless when it comes to encouraging innovation and new business and both are vital to a healthy economy. Yet they bang on about the wealthy or even the super rich as some dastardly boil that must be lanced. Labour's political DNA is tax and spend. They will never acheive their idealistic goals with this mentality or by prioritising 'human rights' over economic efficiency. Compared with the two countries I referred to the UK isn´ t even in the race  

It's not really a hatred of the rich. Billionaires, multi-millionaires, wealthy virtue signalling actors and business owners get a total free pass and actually get feted. It's people in the low to middle categories who want to better themselves and put in extra effort to make some progress who get slapped down by socialist politics of envy. 

Enlightenment era philosopher Jean Jaques Rousseau said. "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains", In the late 17th C the enchained were the populace governed by tiny, unelected and self serving aristocracy - in France at least. Nowadays, it seems, people are "born free" but are STILL enchained - despite the enlightenment - this time by socialism [ a dogma often fulled by envy] and its dubious notions of, equality, diversity and inclusivity which together add up to the authoritarian goal of making everybody the same. Personal liberty and individual sovereignty have been eroded , community replaced by social division and equality is impoverishing all of us except the financial and political oligarchs who control a system which more closely resembled George Orwell's Big Brother regime than any socialist utopia dreamed of by the founders of the Labour and Trade Union movement.

Labour's equality laws are pernicious as are its tax polices to re distribute wealth & discourage work .

People haven never been born equal - they have different talents , motivations and skills and these differences need to be reflected in outcomes - although they do have obligations to their neighbours and equal opportunity fostered. When the early socialistds and lraders of the classical liberal movement talked of equality they meant equality of oportunity and equality before the law, not having equal outcomes forced on us by an all powerful, paternalistic state.

Kamala Harris' Plagiarism Scandal Embarrassing And Deeply Damaging For Her Campaign

 

 

People who watch American politics more closely than the Boggart Bloggers are suggesting the Kamala Harris, campaing is struggling as the presidential candidate's perrformances in live interviews and media events have revealed she flouders when trying to answer even the most straightforward question when there is no teleprompt in front of her. In fact her 'word salads' when a simple short sentence shuld suffice have become a standing joke. 

With Harris already having been caught being 'economical with the truth' several times before she was even elevated to the presidential candidacy  integrity is probably not the first  quality we would identify her with.  

It will come as no surprise to American politics watchers then, that a candidate caught repeatedly on camera switching her accent depending on the audience would have little attachment to sincerity. Still, the claims made by a famous plagiarism hunter about a book written by Harris prior to her term as California attorney general could knock her campaign goal to present herself as a breath of fresh air. Joe Biden, at least, had the good sense to plagiarise from a British politician party leader Neil Kinnock: Harris is alleged to have ripped straight from Wikipedia.

 Harris’ book,  Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer was supposed to meld her personal experiences as a legal expert with the on-the-ground situation in the Californian criminal justice system. It was never intended to be the next great American novel. But that is precisely why allegations that she plagiarised numerous passages in it,  look like being seriously damaging for her. That Harris has been accused of lifting entire passages of her book without attribution from elsewhere, including one lengthy piece from Wikipedia, that threatens to compound her existing reputation for being vacuous. The disgraced former Harvard president Claudine Gay might have been sloppy, in plagiarising easily verifiable passages from other people's work but Harris simply looks lazy and lacking ideas.

(In her other book - tracing her Jamaican roots, Harris lies about her ancestry to make out she has black Jamaican roots, and avoid anyone finding out her great x 4 grandfather was a white Jamaican slave owner of Irish origins. Assumed Gaelicness is at least something she has in ommon with current president Paddy O'Biden and recent predecessors Jock McTrump and Paddy O'Bama. )

Why ancestry matters to the Americans so much is baffling to Europeans; Martin Luther King was absolutely right on this, and therefore out of step with the modern USA. Candidates should be selected on the basis of the content of her character and abilities, not the colour of thir skin or whatever ethnic roots they lay claim to; and voted for on the same basis. The same should be true of DJT.

And therefore, lets be honest, there should probably be two different contenders for President. Too late now, though.

It has been obvious for years that Harris is way too insubstantial to hold any senior position, in fact, she seems to be actually quite thick. Why the Democrat party ever promoted her is a mystery. Surely they have better candidates? The fact that she is where she is clearly demonstrates the reality that a U S president is no more than a front, with the real leaders being back - room deal makers of Capitol Hill and the shadowy and unaccountable deep state operators. They want to stop Trump because he has his own ideas (even if the way he expresses them often do not make much sense,) and intends to pursue them.  

Everyone knows instinctively that Harris has been a mere placeholder for the machine behind her ever since her political career was launched as a gratuity for intereting things she id for Willie Brown's brown willie (allegedly - although former San Francisco mayor Brown has not denied it). 

The office of President, like that of Britain's Prime Minister, like the currencies, have been increasingly devalued  since the turn of last century. The Uniparty machine doesn't even put much effort anymore to hide it. All the institutions are captured - the permanent state - perhaps with only a handful of billionaire - psychopath oligarchs pulling the strings.

Swapping one leader for the other is irrelevant to the machine - the 'leaders' are owned. Harris will be no different than the one suffering severe cognitive decline. Starmer, 100 days into his term of office and already best by scandal anf having to renege on campaign promises, will be no different to Sunak or Johnson. Occasionally we the voters will be thrown a morsel to placate the public mood hi;e the relentless grind towards global government will continue.
