An Election is on the way….

Frankly I can’t wait to see the back of this present government of mean minded, autocratic, “nannying”, hypocritical, bitter, spiteful, mealy mouthed bunch social engineers that have imposed a raft of politically correct policies and laws that have robbed us of our innate sense of fair play, our rights to a contrary opinion, indeed any opinion at all.  I want to eat what I want to, I want to decide for myself if I smoke or not, how much wine, beer or spirit I drink and even what sort of religious ornament I choose to wear.  I don’t want the rights of minorities who largely hate everything about our society to leave me with own rights made to seem as if they are criminal.  I don’t want some zealot to rob the pension funds of our hard working people, to sell the gold reserves of the country to some Eastern European (or any other European come to that) and leave our glorious nation the laughing stock of the world.  I don’t want to be ruled from some 21st century office building in Brussels.  I don’t want to live under a Government who despises the Monarch and fights a war on a poultry budget at the expense of our brave young men and women who  are sent on these foolish missions. 
I don’t want much to I?
But what I do want is a truly fair society where old values that were good for us in past decades remain so in new decades to come.  I want savers to be paid a fair interest on their hard earned savings.  I want our children to be treated as children again and not as some alternative species that can do what it likes when it likes at the expense of decency.  I want to see our fundamental values remembered and retained and I want to feel that it is NOT wrong to be British or English and that the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish are not somehow “better” than we English.  I want people in authority to be respected and decent people, women, older people and nurses to be treated with deference and not disdain.
I want a lot don’t I?
I also want to see everyone with a better basic education, to be able to spell correctly and know that it is NOT alright to speak your mind, that it’s not a positive thing to do so.  It is often rude and ill mannered to do so as it is to swear in front or people without restraint and let children do so too, unchallenged. 
Beards should be banned (perhaps with burkhas) and the “have not's” should stop blaming everyone else for not having what they want. 
sadly, I fear that none of these aspirations of mine will ever be realised.  One party will leave office and another arrive and sooner or later there will be countless revelations about some deed done years before or another run of sleaze or corruption…. and on it goes.
But please spare me a new “Class War” in this country where there are so many so called working class who think they are working class, dozens of Social Liberals who think they are middle class (but are upper or lower) – the upper classes don’t know who they are, only what they are!  I can’t face another torrent  of Champagne Socialism – we all know who they are – public school and university then into the “Social Engineering Workshop” of life. 
“Oh dear. How sad. Never mind” as the Sergeant Major in “It Aint Half Hot Mum” would say!

I am, and I like to think since I was a teenager, a slightly left leaning socialist. My values are those of a truly fair society as well, a society where all has at least an equal opportunity, should the individual, and there are always many, not avail themselves of that opportunity then that is fair enough but to have the opportunity in the first place is the key.

We, the population, must remember that society always evolves, it is not stagnant. It evolves because we the people evolve, not over thousands of years in some Darwinian sense, but we evolve daily, weekly, monthly and so on. Our taste in music changes, fashion changes, our taste in food changes, [modern] technology advances and we change with that, our social lives and habits change; all these changes contrive to make us, individuals within groups that make up society change, or evolve.

Though it is nice to take a nostalgic look backwards to the good old days, or what our subjective memories allow us to remember as the good old days; due to us constantly evolving we must allow our minds to open a little and face and adapt to new challenges and only in doing so we then become a civilised society.
