OF ALL THE DECISIONS Ed Milliband says he will take if he becomes prime
minister; perhaps the scariest would be the one he would be drawn into making under
duress: the one he would be forced to make if he wished to continue as prime
minister – and we all know from the episode with his brother when Ed wanted to
lead the Labour Party what entailed. He will do anything to first of all gain
power, and then to hold on to it. Ed is a Marxist via Machiavelli (a truly amoral
combination). He will willingly betray all and sundry to advance himself in
politics. He comes from a political family; and he is his father's progeny in
the ideological sense of the word - he is a Marxist prince.
Michael Fallon,
the Defence Secretary, has launched (sic) an attack on Ed over our Trident submarines,
and has doubted Ed could be trusted to keep them, and not barter them away or
compromise their strength through an alliance with the SNP. Fallon has accused
Milliband of repeating the same course of action against his nation as he took
against his brother to become leader of his party; and will continue to do so
to remain in power as a prime minister.
Fallon used the
phrase "stabbed in the back" to describe the way Ed treated
his brother. This has brought an imbecilic response from the Guardian's Left
wing infant phenomenon; and considered a L'Enfant
Terrible by the
Right: Owen Jones, who has taken to twitter to
describe Fallon's use of the metaphor of stabbing in the back thus; "… [Fallon's]
metaphor is deeply sinister. It is a
classic anti-Semitic trope".
Quite rightly the Left's infant
phenomenon has been generally ridiculed for his accusation that in some way
Michael Fallon is anti-Semitic; it only goes to show to what lengths the
lexicon of political correctness is prepared to go to mould language to its
will; and to the lengths they are prepared to go to protect the PC idiom.
Michael Fallon is
not anti-Semitic because some twerp in his ideological infancy condemns him as
such. I doubt if even the paper he rights for; yes, you have guessed it - the Guardian;
which supports his wretched tweet is in agreement.
Perhaps Polly
Toynbee should take Owen under her wing and invite him this summer to join her
in her retreat on the Algarve, to hang out; where he can learn from the
mistress of liberal conceit and hypocrisy how to avoid such idiocy of the kind he
displayed against Michael
MICHAEL FALLON IS NOT anti-Semitic - but he is a hypocrite. He seeks to
warn the nation of the dangers of weakening our nuclear defences, and the
threat it puts upon our nation's security (and he is right to do so).
As our Secretary
of Defence, he is also right in his rhetoric when it comes to Trident. But
Trident is the nuclear option, the final option we may sooner or later be
forced to deploy (although we will need a new and less feeble set politicians
from all parties prepared ever to deploy it under any set of circumstances ,
including a first strike form our enemy). But such an option will become the first
option of if our armed forces do not have sufficient finances to provide our
nation with conventional forms of defence meant to prevent nuclear deployment
from ever happening in the first place.
The MoD represents
to all the politicians from whatever of the three main parties; a constant source
of easy pickings when it comes to having to cut back on the nation's finances.
No party stands up for our nation's defences on such a scale as they do the
NHS. The MoD's budget has always been the first to be pared down when it comes
to politicians seeking to reduce public spending; and the process will continue
under whatsoever government (coalition
or not) that comes to power – and if the Tories win further cuts will follow
(some reports have said that our army will be reduced to 50,000).
Fallon, as defence
secretary, knows what is needed in matters of this nation's conventional defence.
It is the lack of such a sufficiency of
defence spending we now face thanks to Fallon that may lead to what should be
the unnecessary deployment of nuclear weapons. The more you scale back
conventional forms of defence the quicker you hasten the use of nuclear
weaponry; because you begin to rely upon them as the main option in the hope of
deterring your enemies. Eventually, the more we, as a nation, pare down our conventional
forces, the more we will rely upon the nuclear option to 'safe-guard' our
nation. And what if Ed is elected?
Not only will he
match the further cuts to our defences that the Tories have promised, but will
also have the SNP baring down on him get rid of Trident. Angela Sturgeon has
said that it is her party's intention to make the vanquishing of Trident, her
red-line. So unless she turns out to be another Obama with her talk of
red-lines, then what will be left of our nation's defences will be further
imperilled (perhaps fatally so) if either Labour or the Tories are given a
majority – but, has as seems likely, because of the SNP, Milliband becomes
prime minister, in either a formal or informal setting (back-room deals), then
chaos can be expected: the tolerance of the English will once be tested to ever
greater limits.
