Ten years of 'useless' laws
With the release of the country from the incompetent and maniacal Blair, the praise being heaped upon him for so-called improvements he has brought about in the last ten years is inevitable and carefully co-ordinated, with obedient, smiling party workers and Labour party members wilting under the weight of the rose-tinted spectacles they are wearing.
In reality, despite the never-ending stream of new legislation during the dismal and directionless rule of President Blair, barely a law was passed or a system installed that was workable or enforceable.
Everything from Asbos to gun law, from family credit to identity cards has either proven to be unmanageable or unenforceable.
Gun crime is at its highest in the history of the country; truancy, Asbos, credit card fraud, serious violent assaults and drug related offences likewise. The very fabric of the country's culture and way of life is being destroyed by rampant uncontrolled immigration, and our towns and cities, not to mention our countryside, are being butchered by the need to provide thousands of extra homes for the ceaseless wave of immigrants, packing us all into the country like rats in a box.
The most worrying aspect, however, is that while most of these problems could be solved with severe sentencing by the courts and the wholesale deportation of the last decade of migrants, these blindingly obvious answers seem to evade any MPs as soon as they become a minister capable of actually implementing anything worthwhile.
A creeping paralysis develops over all cabinet ministers, reducing their talk to one-liners, promising all and delivering nothing.
Brown has not been a good Chancellor. He has let the country run itself economically, which is why house prices have reached the heights of obscenity and people are tricked into believing they possess great wealth.
He has exercised no control, and I predict will similarly sleepwalk his way through his premiership.
