Most of what Labour leaders say in their conference speeches is pure tripe, marinaded in bilge (the other lot are not much different but we'll deal with that some other time).
asserted
we → say → that
They can't fix the NHS or the economy, they don't even understand policing and criminal justice, they dislike the Armed Forces and they long ago decided to abolish proper education.
The bits you should be frightened of are the ones they slip in that mean more power for our Leftist elite.
asserted
that → fix → elite
This they can do.
asserted
they → do → This
One horror screamed out from amid the jungle of slogans which Andrew Burnham displayed to us last week – his desire to abolish proper British elections.
asserted
Burnham → scream → elections
That is what switching to 'Proportional Representation' actually means.
asserted
switching → switch → Representation
Our ancient Parliament has one overriding purpose – to represent the real divisions in our uniquely free country and to stop leaders getting too big for their boots.
asserted
leaders → have → boots
This means two big parties, genuinely opposed to each other, which take turns in office.
asserted
which → mean → office
It also means that the voters can sack the Government when they get tired of it.
asserted
they → mean → it
In this way politicians live in constant fear (as they should) of losing their fat jobs, cars and privileges.
asserted
they → live → jobs
It means a strong Opposition which makes life difficult for the Government.
asserted
life → mean → Government
Burnham's desire to abolish proper British elections to be replaced by proportional representation means no strong opposition and removes the ability to sack the government
This is good news for freedom of speech and bad news for poorly drafted laws, which that tough Opposition can shred and revise.
asserted
Opposition → abolish → which
Now, as I have been urging and predicting for years, this country needs two wholly new parties.
asserted
country → urge → parties
Labour and the Tories are clapped out, represent nobody but themselves, and are far too close to each other.
asserted
Labour → clap → other
A new force is emerging on the Right and may take shape at the coming election.
uncertain
force → emerge → election
When it does, Labour's weary north London Marxism will at last be seriously threatened.

It has relied for decades on being anti-Tory to get out its remaining loyalists.
asserted
It → rely → loyalists
Nothing else holds it together.
asserted
Nothing → hold → it
Its ancient incantations and spells no longer work and it is plainly terrified of what Reform UK might do to it.

Government → design → ?
No more removal vans in Downing Street on the day after an election if this goes ahead.
asserted
this → go → election

asserted
Parliament → become → people

asserted
passions → keep → people
Our politicians, already hard to tell apart, will become so similar that they will need labels on their heads to let us know which party they are from.
asserted
they → tell → party
Don't let them do it.
asserted
them → let → it
Blue Lights fades into a dull, woke soap opera
Police drama Blue Lights has gone woke.
asserted
Lights → fade → opera
Last week's episode showed 'refugees' teaming up with militant 'Catholics' and 'Protestants' against the police
The police drama Blue Lights, set in Belfast, began well with original stories and a likeable cast.
Alas, it is now turning into another politically correct soap opera.
In the week Northern Ireland saw a renewed confrontation between ‘Loyalists’ and ‘Republicans’, we got a drama about ‘refugees’ in which militant ‘Protestants’ and ‘Catholics’ allied against the police and the heroine was a ‘refugee’ from Syria.
I have now run out of inverted commas.
The BBC's stupid cannabis censorship
One day, when even the stupidest people grasp that marijuana is a terrifying, deeply dangerous drug, some may remember that I was one of the tiny few who warned against the unhinged, greedy plan to legalise it.
This plan can't be far from success, with all its misery of wrecked families, destroyed minds and mad violence.
And one of the bodies which won't be able to escape blame for this avoidable tragedy is the BBC.
uncertain
which → show → tragedy
Many times on this page I have documented programmes in which the agenda of the drug legalisers has been advanced in discussion programmes and dramas.
asserted
agenda → document → programmes
But last week the BBC came up with something new, which looks suspiciously like censorship.
asserted
which → come → censorship

An observant few have begun to grasp the even more frightening instances of crazy violence by mentally ill people whose minds have been overthrown by dope.
asserted
minds → begin → dope
I owe what follows to an amazing website called News Sniffer, which tracks changes in stories published on the web and later amended.
asserted
which → owe → web
It found that a BBC website report on a crazy killer began by prominently mentioning the killer's use of marijuana – and then dropped it.
asserted
report → find → it
The mad killer is called Alexander Lewis-Ranwell.
asserted
killer → call → ?
He slew twins Dick and Roger Carter, 84, and Anthony Payne, 80, in Exeter in 2019.
asserted
He → slay → 2019
Mad killer Alexander Lewis-Ranwell murdered three pensioners in a 2019 Exeter killing spree.

asserted
he → report → drug
All three blameless men died of severe head injuries inflicted by an insane drug abuser who had (as so often) been allowed by the authorities to roam until he committed a serious crime.
asserted
he → die → crime
He has now been classified as insane and 'detained'.
asserted
He → classify → ?
But there will be more like him as marijuana use spreads.
asserted
use → spread → him
…and 4 more, not listed.
