Woking Conservatives Are A SHAMBLES (or are they?)

Got to be honest everyone. I have been so busy with work of late, that the only real political action I have been able to do, is pass on a few links in facebook. Sorry about that, but keeping the wolves from the door always has to come first, especially when Gordo is helping himself to most of it.

Today though, I have seen the full extent of the incompetence of the Woking Tories. As people who come here often will know, Humfrey "Failings" Malins is the current MP for Woking. Failings has always paid lip service to his roll, telling us how hard he works for the people, asking a few questions now and then and hammering the expenses like a nutter. He has decided though, that now is the time to step down. No he isn't one of the REAL bad boys on expenses, and probably could have milked it a bit longer, but he now feels he should hand over to someone younger. Personally I think that is extremely short sighted, as there are many people his age and older who could do a lot more than he ever did for Woking. Indeed, I think we throw older people on the rubbish tip far to early in this country.

Anyway, goodbye Failings, you were never afraid to say yes and not rock the boat and your one achievement of voting against the Iraq war, was somewhat tainted by the fact you always played the hand that would win for you and with a sizeable Muslim population in Woking, I am sure you got permission from the bosses to do what you did. You certainly didn't seem to make much noise at any protests on T.V. for example, but it was just enough for one of your leaflets come the election time. Well, one of your leaflets in Muslim areas eh, because you weren't afraid to say one thing to one part of Woking and a totally different thing to another.

Anyway, reading the local rag that came through my door today, I saw that Blue Labour were down to 4 candidates and their would be a meeting, where a few hundred people (by invite) would be able to ask them some questions. Bummer I thought, as I would have liked to have gone to that, but the meeting was said to have been "sold out".

Imagine by surprise then, when inTouch, Blue Labours usually just before an election leaflet came through my door. In this bland centralised style waste of space, I see that they were advertising the event as an "open primary". MMMmmm, a carefully selected short list, which they were then going to allow all the registered voters of Woking vote in. Great I though, I need to see what each candidate stands for.

Only the "Open Primary" was to be held on 30th of September (my birthday). Yes that's right, it had already passed. They really did advertise that well! In fact, I wonder if they perhaps did make sure a leaflet went to all the voters, accept certain kinds of voter. Say UKIP past candidates and supporters.

Anyway, so either this whole process was an incompetent sham, or a carefully planned sham.

So, as I am a cynical so and so, I thought I would make sure I wasn't being unfair. Just because I wasn't given any say and they pretended it was an open primary, doesn't mean the guy who won might not be a good egg. You get them sometimes, like the handful of "Better Off Out" MPs.

So I called up the local Conservative club.

First question "Has the Primary you just advertised in a leaflet that has come through my door today already been run?"

Answer "Yes!" without a hint of shame.


Second question "Who won then?"

Answer "John Lord"


Third question "Can I ask him a question?"

Answer "mmm, eerrr, mmmm"

"I want to ask him what his position is on Britain's membership of the EU"

"Errr, mmmmm, eeerrrr, you had better contact him then".


No offer of a number, email or anything. I don't think they wanted me to ask him. But I will.

My hopes are not good though. This guy actually comes from Guildford and has dropped into Woking, as the vacancy has arisen. I.E. he is a career politician, rather than fighting for his own town.

Then is the fact he is a "Media and PR" consultant. That's just what we need in politics isn't it.

But I mustn't jump to hasty conclusions. Just because he got in on a sham process and has all the credentials of a slug, doesn't mean he is a slug. I just need to find out if he thinks Britain should be running itself, before I decide to campaign heavily against him, or even for him.


The rest of the Blue Labour leaflet was not promising though. They had the result for Norwich and listed out the results. Now normally they just leave UKIP out of the results, but to my surprise they were included. UKIP got a healthy 11.8% in that one, but oh look, Blue Labour decided to put the Greens, who with lots of BBC coverage managed 9.7%, above them in the table. Do they think people are thick and won't realise that? No, don't answer that one.

The final note on this leaflet, was their pathetic brown nosing of the whole "Recycling" scam. Blue Labour indeed.

I'll report more on JLord when I get more to report.

Does anyone doubt this words, given what we are seeing unfold today?

More incompetence from all levels of Woking government

Why are we not marching on parliament, demanding a complete reboot of the governance in this country?

We now have layer upon layer of utterly useless bean counters, desperately trying to please their immediate masters/messengers, while also trying to stay within the EU's real command.

Today I have received another pile of recycling fodder (another waste of money), telling me how the government has told Surrey Police that they have to cap their expenditure and that now my council tax will be reduced. No where does it actually say how much for me, just an example for band D people, but It looks like we are talking under 5 squid a year, which is worth just over a million to the traffic revenue enforcement agency, sorry I mean police.

So I have a page with my new bill with the massive savings on it. I still have to pay 1812.36 a year basically to get my rubbish collected and be told what to do. Not great value, but I will come onto the rubbish collection in a moment.

Once I had filed that in the bin, I moved onto the next piece. This one is a letter from Surrey Police, moaning about the decision and saying how Surrey pays much more to the government in tax and then gets much less back. Of course I have sympathy for this, as it is mean who is paying a large chunk of this money, that the government gives away to anyone who asks for it, apart from me.

They say they are going to cut heads and try to perform the same as last year with less, rather than improve. Great work, you really do instill confidence in me. I have some suggestions. How about you sack ALL the bean counters, managers, diversity officers, politically correct units and plastic police, then channel the funds solely on attacking REAL criminals. Yes people who have stolen from or hurt other people. How about that for a radical plan. Sorry if I sound like I don't have much sympathy for the police, but I simply don't have much confidence in them anymore. As a unit, they have been ruined by years of piss poor political manipulation. They are no longer fit for purpose and need a full reboot, just as their political masters do.

No individual police people, I'm not directing the blame at you. I know you are "just doing your job" and you would risk that job and its prospectives if you fought back a bit. However, that wasn't an excuse for the Nazis, so forgive me if I don't have epic amounts of sympathy for you. When I start seeing some guts and spine being displayed by people who know what they are doing it wrong, but are just following orders for a quite life, then I might have some. I only actually have utter contempt for the political control freaks who make you do the wrong thing, under the threat of losing your livelihoods.

Anyway, so not content with blowing another few grand on a couple of leaflets, we get another one with some more news.

First up is parking rates in Woking going to be capped too. My company will be pleased, as I often park at the station, then claim it back. A day will now be capped at 8 squid, which is a decent saving. I know why they are doing it and that's because people are deserting Woking in droves. They are sick of paying 11-14 quid, simply to park and go to work. Every day I go in now, it seems to be a little less full. I used to be unable to park some days, now I can park on the lower floors every time. Still, well done for a change on recognising that people are not bottomless pits of cash and that your policies are killing the town. Maybe you could apply this logic to all the other areas too and get our council tax down to a more tolerable level of theft.

Finally we get onto the rubbish collection. Woking has been at the forefront of envirofascsim, blowing their trumpet loudly, while not actually providing any tangible benefits. Indeed, we now have smelly summers, because of 2 week old rubbish and people having bins bulging with rubbish, especially if a flake of snow falls meaning no collection for 3 or even for weeks.

Well 2 wheelie bins isn't enough for this bunch of clowns. Now we are going to get a garden bin too and a food bin. The food bin will be collected every week (just like the good old days). All this so that we can recycle things that don't need recycling and play up to the EU's ridiculous ban on landfill, which is the most sensible, environmentally sound method this country could/should have. The expense of this crazy multi-bin, multi-collection must be immense and the fact a lot of this stuff simply isn't required, does MORE damage to the environment and means we have houses sounded by plastic bins, doesn't seem to ring any alarm bells for the eager order followers in the council.

Sack them. Sack them all. Strip back government to the bare bones and put the power of responsibility back in peoples hands again. Punish people who do hurt or harm others with REAL law enforcement and then let the rest of us live our lives how we want to. This crazy, moronic and damaging system of centralised dictators has to be wound up and wound up soon. Otherwise we could be on our way to 3rd world status. Hardly a legacy to be proud of for our children!
