1984 is upon us!

Interesting, is it not, that the political group who shout loudest about "threats to Democracy", the political Left, are also the most vociferous suppressors of any opinion they do not approve of. In a prime example earlier this week, the Socialist coalition who dominate that most undemocratic of institutions, the so-called European "parliament", almost brought about the interesting situation of the EU being entirely without a "Commission", the body of super-bureaucrats who actually rule the EU.

The reason? One of the proposed new Commissioners has dared to speak about his own personal views on single mothers, homosexual relations, and religion. Well, that last was enough to get him rejected by this Godless and arrogant bunch of freeloaders, anyway, but add to that the sacred rights of single mothers (all abused by evil males, of course!) and the equally sacred rights of the vociferous likes of Peter Tatchell (a frightful militant "gay" who most decent homosexuals abhor!), and you now have a recipe for them to launch a campaign to bar him from holding any public office! Welcome to the world of Orwell's 1984!

Since when has it become the business of any so-called representative to dictate what anyone may or may not believe? Since when has it become "democratic" to suppress any persons views when they do not accord with your own? This is where the Left reveals its true political colours! Democracy? Don't make me laugh; this is not democratic, this is dictatorship, dictatorship by a small group of supposed "intellectuals" who believe that they can now dictate to the majority on every issue of "morality". The trouble is that their "morality" is a deeply twisted and viciously brutal perversion of every moral code contained in almost every religion founded on the one true God.

"Affirmative" action is merely a new name for a new and even more pernicious form of Apartheid, this time enforced by a sisterhood of feminists against any white male, against the family, and all in the promotion of "equality" and "fairness". What, dare I ask, is equal and fair about rejecting applications on the grounds of gender, sexual orientation, or race - so that "quotas" of women and representatives of ethnic minority groups (gays fall into this category as well!) can be parachuted into the top jobs? Never mind the efficiency or the quality, just make up the numbers.

The example this week of the sort of mentality of this lobby in the European "Parliament" underlines my point. There is no democracy where someone is not free to express a deeply held personal view publically without fear of reprisal. I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it! Perhaps it is time to remind Blair and the rest of the so-called Democratic left of this simple principle! Perhaps it is time also to clear out of the Civil Service everyone who does not share that view, or who has been appointed to a post for which they were not the best possible candidate!

Back in the 1960's a prominent Italian Communist leader made the point that an armed struggle was not needed to overthrow the Western Democracies. All it required was for Communists to gain legitimate control of the educational institutions and to convert the leaders of tomorrow. Then they could infiltrate the organs of State and the Media; and impose a Marxist state from within. He has succeeded probably beyond his wildest dreams - Blair, Brown, Straw and all the rest are the product of an education system perverted by the Communist lecturers of the 1960's, their fellow travellers now control the Civil Service and the Media. The flood of regulations, the restrictions on freedom of speech, the gerrymandering to ensure re-election - it is all in the Communist Manifesto.

It is time we took back democracy from the Left and made it into a true vision of democracy, one without the left wing control of the Civil Service, the Media, and the Education system. If we do not, the Marxists and the Communists have won.

In the meantime, welcome to the world of Big Brother, of New Speak and of 1984! I expect a visit from the Re-education Corps at any time now!
