10/28/2009: "Labour masterplan is revealing before our eyes"
the top inner circle of the labour party - blair/brown/mandelson and a few select others who have bank rolled the labour party - are now showing their true colours.
in 1995 they got together and hatched a plan to bring labour out of extinction and safeguard not only the party holding power but set themselves up for life in the process.
go back to just before the general election of 97 - 18 years out of office, labour's core vote destroyed by thatcher and major's policies that actually worked, the plan was to get power for labour and change things so that they always had a hand on power in the future.
before you dismiss this out of hand... just look at the facts
Labour's core vote: by 97 it had gone, the policies in the previous 18 years had to a large degree been very successful for everyone.
pre 79, labours core vote consisted of people who lived day to day, they had no pensions, no opportunity of a mortgage unless they saved with a bank for years and then only a slim chance.
they took holidays in england, not choosing to use public transport, but relying on it. the people wanted more than this, labour's core vote wanted better.
love her or hate her, thatcher gave them freedom and power over their own lives.
no longer did they go hungry or without money in support of others who had come out on strike
now they could buy their own home
now they could have competitive mortgages
now they could fly abroad on european holidays
now they could afford to buy and run a car, no longer reliant on public transport
now they could save for their own pensions which paid out more than the state allowance, so they could plan ahead
yes they could strike, but only if the majority in their workplace voted for it
it took some hardship - it took some years - but it became the norm.
labour's core vote of the past was gone forever.
why should the people vote for labour?
people didnt need the state to dictate their lives, the state was there as a safety net only.
in 97 when labour came to power, they had transformed and cut away years of historic rut they had presided over.
we had nuclear power which many labour MPs spent years campaigning against, as blair said in a speech in june 1995, "we should not be dictated to and pay over the odds for our energy to other countries, whilst their staff earn fat salaries" - blair's policies in office did exactly that.
labour had their left wing policies trashed and proven to be worthless over 18 years of conservative government, the national debt was almost paid off and we were moving into a surplus.
labour wanted revenge and a way of keeping their hand on some form of power, so that never again would their arguments be seen to be worthless.
as a former advisor to the government revealed last week - labour wanted to smash the conservative project - just as labour themselves have had done to them.
blairs first assault, was europe. a highly effective policy of keeping power within labour's hands.
under the guise of "being at the heart of europe - controlling europe" blair systematically made friends in europe by giving ground and surrendering vetos and opt outs from european legislation.
these friends would come in useful in the future!
the labour party had to come up with a way of getting a core vote and holding on to some form of power, someone would have to need to vote labour and they would have to be relevant.
but how could this be acheived?
with core vote now gone, they needed a new core vote and the european union provided a perfect opportunity. free movement around the european union, the opt out was removed and the people came... not a few thousand every year, but millions, from inside and outside the EU!
if you take a person from a country where they live in abject poverty and give them free housing, policing, schooling for their kids, free healthcare, money to live on if they do not work, freedoms (that we all take for granted) - then these people are not going to vote out the party and people that give them this are they?
years of non eu people living for 6 months and then being given an eu passport to allow them to walk into the uk, and live here, and claim from the state, has been going on unopposed for the best part of a decade.
labour now had a new core vote, people who never before dared to or got the vote in their own home country. suddenly they got a say, and blair/brown benefitted from it at election times.
if anyone opposes any aspect of this policy they would be put down with the race argument!
there was another favourable outcome for labour, in that by giving up a variety of opt outs and vetos to europe, they were making many friends, friends that would serve them well in another part of their plans... holding on to some form of power!
first it began with local councils - by traditional standards you vote in local people to get things done, in your immediate area - under blair's labour government this is no longer the case.
as a councillor revealed to me weeks after winning a council election - councillors dont shape policy, they dont "do" things anymore, they can only ask questions of the civil servants who are actioning plans set for them by...... yes you guessed it, blair's governmental departments.
a genius plan whereby the public believed that the councillors were in control of budgets, plans, etc, anything went wrong and the finger pointed at local councillors and the public would vote them out.
anything that was a success would be attributed to the government department who enforced the policy over the council via its unelected civil servants, who worked in ivory towers of council offices and were untouchable by the british public!
this would enhance the government as being one of action on a national scale and help provide ammunition to win votes at the next general election.
after 5 years or so, this phase of labour's plan to smash the conservatives in the same way they had been almost to extinction, was in place.... now for phase 2!
phase 2 was not quite what they had planned.... originally phase 2 of labours masterplan was to set up regional assemblies. sadly for labour after giving scotland and wales a few small powers - in the hope that this would give labour officials another platform to cling to power should their government be voted out of office at westminster - the people saw this coming by a country mile (92% voted "no" in the north east referendum for a regional assembly) it was a non starter.. it was proven to be a wise move to stop this process, as with the benefit of hindsight, labour lost power in both scotland and wales - so blair/brown moved to the next phase and started actioning it.
phase 2 was now westminster - what would happen if, despite its core vote of immigration supporting them, they would have lost a general election?
all their plans would have been unravelled in a five year stretch of opposition.
historically, the labour party have always operated by "backroom deals" say one thing in public but do another behind closed doors.
even now only information can be revealed by using the freedom of information act request, anything that was not asked about would be revealed under the 30 year rule of law, and by this time the plan would have been actioned and it would be too late for the conservative party.
by giving up the vetos and opt-outs, labour had made many european friends, now they wanted europe to return the favour. campaigning for centre left and left wing governments all over europe, helping them to win power in their respective countries, meant that when they came back to europe, the power players in europe were on their side when they announced that laws, almost identical to the laws of the UK, would now be the top ruling court over.
again, a genius plan, for labour that is.
slowly there began a trickle of powers given away to fall under european control, then more and more went to europe, in effect rendering our parliament at westminster the same as a local council, elected representatives who could only ask questions of those in power elsewhere who had the real power. the people were given the impression of having a say using their vote, but the real power being held in europe.
the power to over rule the uk government on anything from fish stocks to releasing of prisoners is no longer under westminster's control.... it has gone.
with labour falling behind in the polls under brown, time started to run out, so the labour party needed to speed things up if their plans were going to be put into place. the lisbon treaty was changed in name only and signed up to, without going to the british people.
as brown fell further in the polls, labour started seeing that the immigration core vote they had built up was now asking questions of labour, and didnt like what they were hearing.
the odd park and new play area for kids, the grants for setting up a muslim business or advice centre, just werent cutting it anymore, housing renovations new roads, everything was thrown at immigration estates, nothing could reverse the trends of an opposition winning the next general election.
it might never happen and labour plans for holding some form of power might be saved, but they couldnt take the risk!
as time drifts away from brown being forced to call a general election, a light is shone on labours plans as never before.
the sudden urgency for poland and czechs to sign the lisbon treaty says more about what labour are afraid of than it does about why the conservatives oppose the treaty or want the governments to delay signing it.
at each european summit, labour have given up opt outs and vetos and also tied the UK in to huge fines should in the future (under another party of government) we pull out of a deal that blair/brown have brokered.
why are labour so keen to sign away powers to europe?
to keep their hand on power!
president blair of europe is THE most revealing factor... brown hates this man, mandelson has said so on numerous occasions, yet hes now supporting him being the first full time president of europe? why is he so keen for this to be in place before a general election is called in the UK?
labours top inner circle of people are lined up to take european positions, which of course benefit the labour party more so out of office than it does when they are in office in westminster!
europe can now impose and over rule the government of the UK on so many issues - exactly as our local councils are dictated to by government via civil servants!
if things go wrong, the government of the day (ie not a labour government) takes the blame and the opposition (the labour party if they are voted out) get ammunition to use to win back power.
if things go right, then the opposition can point to their control and influence in europe being a major factor giving the labour party a boost in the eyes of the public.
giving up the opt outs and vetos - enables labour's inner circle to take top jobs in europe
these jobs are not voted for by the people, they are positions of favour, labour have been scratching the backs of governments all over europe for 12 years, in the last 6 months before an election where they could be voted out of office at westminster, they are now openly canvassing for these "friends of labour" to install blair as president!
by being in top positions in europe, over ruling the UK parliament when labour are not in power there, is a way of giving labour relevance and protecting themselves from becoming the irrelevant party they were during 18 years of conservative government.
Labour are out of office in most local councils, county councils are mostly run by libdems and conservatives, i think labour only has one left, labour have lost heavily in european elections, in wales, in scotland, in northern ireland, etc, all indicators show that the public dont want them, and the one man they ejected from office, tony blair, is now a popular favourite with the labour party to be president of europe?
labour are no longer about helping people, standing up for the workers and the less fortunate, their ideals and policies have been shown by the eye of time to be a failure.
their simply acting out a master plan to remain in influence and power, so that even the british public cannot vote them out and be rid of them.
you have been warned!
