Cannot have elections getting in the way of destroying the UK. Elections right to trial by juries, lying about the economic black hole when its 4B positive to hand out the client classes. I have never know the UK in such a state and I fear it is going to get a lot worse.

In fact, Lord Chancellor David Lammy misled parliament when he argued that a judge sitting alone in a "fast track" crown court in triable either way cases would comply with Sir Brian Leveson's review of criminal courts. In reality Leveson recommended a judge flanked by two magistrates in a new Crown Court Bench Division. In arguing for the two magistrates Leveson said in paragraph 32 of his review: "My proposal for two magistrates in the constitution of the CCBD would ensure that this branch of the Crown Court retains community participation, in the absence of a jury."

This awful Labour regime is showing its true authoritarian nature trampling on our rights and liberties in a cynical and sinister manner: our rights to trial by jury established under Magna Carta, the introduction of digital ID cards and now cancelling our right to vote. Socialism is the enemy of freedom and seeks only to create a Big Brother state where individuals are subservient to all controlling regime. We need to get rid of them before they destroy our country.

Kim Jong Starmer has decided today that the mayoral elections that were due this year, will also be delayed next year. The councillor elections this year that was delayed till next year is also on the table depending on Labour polling closer to the time. Kim jong Starmer has also decided today that the state police will also increase facial recognition cameras which will be rolled out throughout the country. The Labour socialist dictator agenda, much of it not in their manifesto, also want national I.D. cards throughout the U.K. Kim Jong Starmer thanks you for doing as your told and he thanks George Orwell for the dictators how to manual of 1984.

This Government, with it wafer thin electoral mandate ( it only won 38% of the votes cast) has, through its authoritarian measures, forfeited any legitimacy. They betray our nation . We need to bring them down. We need new elections now. These traitors must go.

Quiz, Who said on the 1st of November 2024 in your Harlow " “I have already had the immense privilege of seeing the invaluable work farmers do in the constituency of Harlow and across the UK. For too long, we had a government that played only lip service to our farming community. I promise to always be upfront and honest with the farming community as we ensure food security for the whole of the UK." Then see if you can guess who voted against the farmers only three days ago?
