31 December - Good riddance to 2024
I have lived through too many Socialist Governments. Clement Atlee (sweet
rationing), Harold Wilson (the pound in your pocket), James Callaghan (Crisis,
what crisis?), Anthony Blair (unlimited immigration and the Iraq War), Gordon
Brown (financial crisis and that bigoted woman), David
Cameron (Heir to Blair) and Rishi Sunak (highest taxes for 70 years). What could be worse?
When Labour came to power
on the back of a catalogue of lies barely six months ago I was certain they would be a
disaster for the UK and we were due a once in a generation reminder of just how bad Labour can be.
Naively I was unprepared for a Government which could hate such a high
proportion of its population and be willing to punish them, restrict their
freedom under the threat of imprisonment or knowingly condemn some to death.
That in the past 80 years is completely unprecedented.
Being only too well aware of how the minutiae of law making is so easily forgotten I decided to keep
a record of things that most people will regard as
wrong-headed or utterly stupid.
Probably I missed a few but my list is now 110 items long; an open goal for the
Leader of the Conservative Party. Where is she by the way?
