Ashamed....

The racist thugs of the BNP have managed to get themselves elected to two European parliament seats from Britain. This is true and total disgrace. The reason appears to be partly because of voter apathy with all the mainstream parties, but whatever the reason it should never happen. There is a very worrying slide in Britain, I remember years and years ago when the BNP managed to get themselves the only council seat they had in Britain in Tower Hamlets in innner London, there was a national outcry and all the other councilors refused to work with them. Now years later, like the plague they are, they have crept into many councils and now most shamming of all their brand of poison has spread outside of the UK. These people are corosive and rotten and it is a shaming failure of politics that they are any

The root cause of this is the failure of the mainstream process and it must be addressed. Fundamental to this is the failure of the Brown administration. He simply must go. I used to be involved in politics in the UK and it is extremely distressing to see what is happening to the Labour Party. Brown should never have been Prime Minister. He seems to want to do it for the sake of doing it. He doesn't appear to have a vision and the Labour Party, if it has any self respect or wants any chance of avoiding annihilation in the forthcoming general election must get rid of him and replace him with a new generation visionary. If there was one reason why I was in the Labour Party it was equality - so to see a government minister resigning claiming that Brown treated women in his government as window dressing (an argument born out by the trivial number of women in the cabinet is an absolutely terrible indictment of an out of date brand of politics that must be purged and replaced with a visionary for our times.

Instead this is what we will get in Britain: a government led by a vacuous fart (Cameron) and his rich public school yahoo friends. I'm staying in Canada.
