Opportunity Knocks

Conference season reminds me to pick up the fallen fruit lying in the orchard; to consider if they’re editable and worth salvaging for a slush crumble which never happens, partly due to spending too much time recycling conversations and speeches from political nuances and filing them away for something totally ludicrous, namely… opinion.

Once you cut open a rotund Cox you find a juicy maggot, your mind plays tricks, how can one ignore the sordid invasion and happily munch the unaffected pulp? Y’see in my mind the thought of how the maggot arrived there causes me great conflict – actually, Party Conferences are no different. Too often your ear pricks to their tautology adage, usually about mending a roof during good weather and announcing Brexit means Brexit without relaying the definition, oddities prevail and fake P45s are handed out at the most awkward times; not forgetting miraculous throat lozenges from unlikely sources. Meh, usually there’s enough political pontificating to keep the fires burning into winter for toasting marshmallows, to go with the bathetic apple strudel – this year marked an introduction into sensible theorems, all thanks to the inept Labour Party.

Our current governance on social platforms exploded that Labour’s Conference was chaotic this year which meant Opposition was unfit to govern. I quite agree, because these recent times have cultivated a new theme to modern politics, it is called: ‘utterly chaotic’ – by being merely chaotic just doesn’t cut the mustard - where’s the glorified theatre in that? Campaign pages on these social media groups quite rightly have questioned Labour’s electability… for there was no prankster, not enough disgruntled MPs,  zero coughing fits, no stage mishaps from disobedience letters and even when I saw Stella Creasy cramming nuts into her jowl I didn’t see a squirrel tail emerging from her derriere; seriously no drama. I observed Michael Crick chasing Kier Starmer to help create drama but nothing… Crick almost sounded dissatisfied. Even Richard Burgon’s non-standing ovation comment, whereby he stood and clapped Louise Smith’s speech asking for a ‘General Strike’ got air-time on ConHome’s twitter feed. My raconteur response that there’s other means of clapping –i.e. moobs and bum cheeks, stirred the departed, alas failed to resurrect communication. Humour is obsolete when you’re busily hammering home ‘divide and conquer’ nonsense.

If news evolved from Liverpool, it was that Bill Shankly had a socialist philosophy and he was a sublime leader, Football Manager who won trophies. For the diehard JC Activists this isn’t news at all, the summer of dissent from all angles devised to topple Corbyn failed and yet I was watching the Conference half expecting the unexpected: maybe UK Security staff arresting a wheelchair user for holding a Palestinian flag, the mob at Banks’s Westmonster crudely denounced the foreign support as a blight on patriotism, spurious reasoning unfit for purpose.  The very same ilk calling for ‘Remoaner’ resignation from public office totally disillusioned of democratic procedure let alone the advisory nature of EUREF2016.  What can be more democratic than having all options on the table, voted in by Labour members?  Shrewd Labour maneuverings, on what Tony Blair would say occupying the Centre-ground. Overtly this’ll either enforce the Tories to sex-up the White Paper in a bid to prolong the torment, or activate ERG to dislodge May off her perch, to liberate the will of the people kind of Brexit.

However you view the debacle it is now a distraction and already Barnier is in emergency mode thinking of safety nets while in discourse with Labour’s Brexit Team. There’s a possibility the Labour Conference has installed immense optimism across Europe for the big ideas require EU remuneration and deal brokering to fast track UK prosperity. Again, I’ve come to this assertion in the knowledge the Institute of Economic Affairs reacted positively to Corbyn’s war-cry.  A far cry to Cameron’s speech in 2010, when the IEA remarked on a surprisingly rhetorical theme considering the Tories were in power. Deficit reduction was paramount yet was found to be true deception, in comparison eight years on Corbyn stood behind his convictions and keen to take advantage of the free-market which Cameron and May has failed to do.  Warning signs were present in the IEA report of 2010, duly for the lack of economic philosophy cajoled a lackluster poisoned approach that’s evident today. Indirectly, Brexit has been the Tories saving grace; call it political refracting that enabled this current administration roughly three more years in office --- but to the Conservative’s detriment. Now the Social Movement is gaining a cohesive momentum you’ll see psychologically how injurious it is to the status quo. Fatigued and disorientated; resembling a rudderless ‘ol Blighty ruling the waves.

Unless unforeseen matters take shape, the defining kipper slap blow has already been made; the decline of public sector finances cannot continue to decline, in the end porkie pies tend to regurgitate and everyone can witness their obnoxious snouts and snotty residue. Boosting the eco-economy is promising news for UK / EU technology conglomerates, moving into the out-of-bound epoch of Post-Brexit.  Director General Mark Littlewood applauded Corbyn’s free market spirit claiming establishment contracts cordon off private enterprises for special treatment and allow failing corporates having too much power – at the top of my head… ‘Carillion’ is a picture book example; therefore, leaving the taxpayer the burden to bridge the fiscal and service mismanagement.  At no point should Westminster work as an enterprise guru; be picking winners and losers in business. The drawback on private sector interference on the NHS undoubtedly will be clawing back lost Trust incomes – subsequently, removing the onus away from dysfunctional practices that usually hide the short-comings due to the pressures of pleasing shareholders.

Terrifying prospect     

Corbyn is a terrifying prospect for those who’ve invested an enormous amount of buffoonery and finance into campaigning for covert interventions by influential lobby groups, and media moguls. Their game is to bring the UK into order via creating economic chaos in an avarice submission to make behemoth profits. Eight years of Conservative deregulation has enabled the money men an opportunity to make hay. Ironically, the one word ‘slogan’ of Conservative Conference is ‘opportunity’ – this is clear evidence that Brexit has been tenaciously underachieved, engineered to cultivate a catastrophe. Remarkably, this isn’t speculating any longer alas a valid attempt to derail UK’s future prosperity, to flood out the impoverished and welfare systems, so the UK becomes a new Monaco. - The billionaire’s promise-land. Of course, if Corbyn was elected, it’ll be terrifying prospect for the opulent, because all that buffoonery and finance campaigning for covert interventions would go down the drain; just like chomping into a family of maggots believing I had a juicy cox.
