Where’s Jonathan Swift when you need him?

You have to worry when all the main political parties in the UK feel threatened by a tiny party with, as yet, no members of parliament that they become terrified of being seen as soft on “scrounger,” immigrants or the poor in general.

The Labour Party strategists must be getting excited by the polls, or maybe just the Poles, that indicate that the core-labour voters believe that it’s immigrants and welfare scrounger that are responsible for the problems in the health, housing and education rather than underfunding. Why wouldn’t they think this way when they have a circular campaign between the right-wing press and the broadcasters telling them little else for the last ten years or more?

From April there’ll be plenty of people who discover that they are amongst those the Express, Daily Mail and Telegraph consider to be a burden on the striving hard-working families that pay their taxes.

Since the New Labour crowd  were instrumental in starting many of the processes that have led to our economic demise, I’m not sure that the Labour Party will find the courage to put the blame for our current economic ills where it belongs – with the City. I live in hope.
