Hitler, Thatcher, Cameron And This Nation

With the debate popping up still about the virtues or otherwise of a state funeral for Margaret Thatcher, many try to re-write history and paint her as having been a wonderful first time female Prime Minister.

Similarly the debate over David Cameron's tenure as Prime Minister has already started, but this time with the majority seemingly being very critical of him as a Tory leader.

I make no apology therefore of repeating part of my previous blog from 25th January this year, because both leaders in my view allowed the policies of one Adolf  Hitler to inform their political psyche.

Whilst the arguments will continue to rage with regard to the view on Cameron, and many such as I will be accused of extremism in stating that Cameron's policies are more aligned to those of Hitler than Thatcher's; I want to look again at the political state of this nation and the legacy of Thatcher.

Thatcher would never have been as powerful as she was if it were not for both the acquiescence of the men in her party, and that of the British people who were happy to re-elect an evil person who destroyed jobs, communities, ethics and morality within the British psyche.

We now have a far greater evil to contend with in the form of Cameron, coupled with the Thatcher heritage of a callous self centred nation.

This cannot be denied and dismissed as the view of a self opinionated old Trade Unionist, for it is evidenced in the DNA of the British electorate as discovered via the microscopic examination of numerous political opinion polls until very recently. Further let us not kid ourselves that the reason for a slide in the poles is any way altruism; it is purely the fact that now a large majority of people are beginning to be effected. Before they remained silent as the elderly, infirm, disabled and unemployed took the brunt of Cameron's evil policies.

Only a callous, self centred nation could possibly be happy to support a government with fascist aims of persecuting the less well off, the infirm, disabled, elderly, and vulnerable; whilst at the same time as ensuring the remainder of the population works harder and longer for less; as the policies of the powerful and the rich entrench themselves even further into the British psyche on the basis of there being no alternative.

We must also not forget that abstention is merely the coward’s way of giving tacit support, and so those not voting at all in the election of a Government, by default support whichever political party gets into power, and subsequently the ruling parties policies and principles.

No more adequately can this fact be expressed other than in the words of Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor:

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

So now to turn to the crux of the matter:

The I’m Alright Jack mentality, cultivated so cleverly by Thatcher and now resurrected in the form of David Cameron; is the blood (type IAJ) running through the veins of those supporting such fascist neo-Nazi policies now being forced upon the country by morally bankrupt and politically impotent MPs. Without this IAJ blood, Cameron's plans would not succeed.


The 18 years of Thatcherism showed that sooner or later, even those with IAJ blood type, become victims of those same policies they now support; and the political leukaemia with which they are ultimately riddled, will destroy them, in the same way as the lives of the less well off, the infirm, disabled, elderly and vulnerable; are being destroyed right now.

The moral lesson is simple, there but for the grace of God go I.

The history lesson is even easier to understand.

In the words of Pastor Martin Niemoller:

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me


There is no excuse for standing idly by and ultimately refusing responsibility and walking away. The argument that there is no alternative and there is nothing I can personally do feeds only the evil of apathy, irresponsibility, acquiescence and immorality!

To parody Albert Einstein:

"Nothing that I can do will change the structure of British politics. But maybe,
by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes – the revival of ethics, morality and equality within our society and that of the British psyche."
