On Question Time last night a question was asked if Britain was overcrowded and Farage as usual said yes because of immigration and cited congestion, housing, education and the NHS. As a result, the topic switched to immigration and nobody answered the question. I would ask you to consider the following.
The congestion on our roads and in our towns and cities is the direct result of Margaret Thatcher's quite deliberate destruction of our nationwide system of public transport. Thatcher told us that she was going to implement a 'car culture' and that is exactly what she did. A car became an essential for a great many people as their public transport disappeared and, under the subsequent privatisation, the trains and bus services became too expensive. I visit Stoke-on-Trent a lot and it is quite a large city. From where I live in Scotland it is impossible to get to Stoke and back on the same day by public transport. It is also difficult requiring going to first Glasgow, then Manchester and then changing again, and it is also too expensive. I need a car. I would remind you that Channel Four news last year discovered a £1000 train journey in Britain. Thatcher is directly responsible for the congestion we see today and it has nothing to do with immigrants.
With respect to housing, once again we must look to Thatcher as she quite deliberately created a housing crisis when she sold off our council house stock and refused to allow councils to replace them. Her stated goal was a 'property owning democracy' as she guessed that people who owned their own homes were more likely to vote Tory, and, trusting in what is laughingly called 'market forces' she forced the price of housing up to its now ridiculous levels by cutting supply in a situation of serious demand. In addition, she falsely rigged the 'market' by forcing up the price of council house rents by an average of 400% in order to make a mortgage attractive. She thereby exposed the lie that poses as 'the housing market' as no such market exists, it is an example of legalised gangsterism. As she also said, home owners were less likely to go on strike and she was right on both counts. Her other goal was the enrichment of house building firms in the private sector. The sale of council housing was the beginning of the destruction of Britain as a civilised society. Again the housing crisis has nothing to do with immigration. Immigrants have simply added to the crisis that was begun long before they impacted on it.
In education the reason is quite simply the refusal to invest in decent schools, teaching staff and infrastructure. There is no overcrowding or large classes in private and grammar schools. Why is that I wonder? Why is it only in the public comprehensive sector that we get such overcrowding and lack of discipline? It is self-evident and needs no further analysis. Schools are always in the front line of the Tories class warfare. Again, nothing to do with immigration.
The NHS? I wrote last time about the exodus of nurses under successive Westminster governments who have deliberately brought the NHS to crisis. You must never underestimate the Wesminster loathing of the public sector and its determination to destroy and undermine it as much as possible. Britain is floating on a sea of money whilst the politicians constantly tell us that there isn't any. The British elite and their international mates are siphoning off billions of pounds every day. If you don't see that then you are living in cloud cuckoo land. There is plenty of money available for transport, housing, the NHS etc if the will is there to use it for what it should be used for. Like all liars and people who are involved in criminality but don't want to get caught, Britain's political class utilise the scapegoat mentality, its always Johnny Foreigner to blame its never our own fault. What we are seeing in todays UK is the result of what we voted for. Britain's problems are of their own making and the result of a quite apalling political class who are motivated by greed and selfishness. But their principal motivation is the destruction of the public sector in order to make vast profits from its corpse. It appears to be a requirement of a Westminister politician to freely give up their common sense, their decency and their dignity. Westminster is totally disconnected, not only with the electorate, but with the real world and has become the real danger and threat to the nation, not our so-called terrorists, and certainly not immigrants. Holyrood has so far escaped the worst of this and I trust that we in Scotland make sure that it does not happen. I hope you are comforted by voting to remain in this wonderful union governed by our wise and humane Westminster political class. If you think there is any solution in sight by voting Labour, then you are truly deluded. But again, you have been warned.
