How have your political views changed over time?

Dear friend,

I must apologise for the title to this piece, you see when I was younger I really believed Santa Claus was real and that our political parties wanted what was best for our nation (I live in the UK 🇬🇧).

Then I got a little older and at 16 the Uk sent the Military to a political incident in the Falkland Islands,normally I would say it’s called war when missiles are fired and people die. This was under the Conservative Leadership of Margaret Thatcher.

I decided that I didn’t believe in Santa and I would be Labour if getting people killed was being a Conservative. Also unemployment was high and a lot more issues at the time.

Now go further down the line Labour, Tony Blair once one of the most popular of prime ministers this country has ever seen. But like many people before him and many more to come, ultimate power ultimately corrupts.

A quote from “the Spectator” “In crucial areas, he wanted change for change’s sake, with no thought to the long-term consequences”

It’s almost like he got up one morning and started galloping through English and European Law and decided to start the process of change to things that did not need changing.

Then there was Iraq- I will say no more on that subject only ;

There was no need

So I changed again I looked left and right and in the middle and decided, politicians are not from the same world, the ones in government that is. The ones that influence and run the country have no idea how us mere mortals survive a bleak winter, while they sit in cosy homes, not worried about counting every last penny, or can they afford some bread and milk before payday. worried about the heating bill.

So back to the beginning yes my political views have changed over time I now think Santa Claus has more chance of being real than the Bumbling Buffoons that call themselves politicians ever doing something for the people of this country unless it suits an agenda for themselves.

Oops don’t forget the latest one changes the law to suit himself and tries to stamp out freedom of speech.

From now on I vote Santa at least he gives and doesn’t take, take, take

Take care and speak soon
