weekend blog
We are about to witness a unique political experiment. We have two English-speaking countries which have just held elections and now both are about to implement completely opposing sets of policies. We’ll then be able to see which of these two countries has the right policies for the wellbeing of its citizens and which is driving its citizens into a dystopian hell of impoverishment, political oppression and unstoppable decline.
OK. Not much suspense there. I imagine you all know the answer. But let’s still take a moment to compare the political decisions of the two countries. In no particular order, here a few of the key policy areas:
Climate change:
- Trump’s America realises that there is no climate crisis and that ridiculous ideas like ‘Net Zero’ only impoverish the countries implementing them while making countries like China and India richer. Trump’s America will probably withdraw from all international agreements on reducing CO2 emissions
- Starmer and his idiot sidekick, Miliband, want Britain to be a world leader in becoming “a clean energy superpower” and to win a race to complete the ‘energy transition’ – a race in which no other country is stupid enough to compete. In addition, Britain will contribute tens of billions (which it hasn’t got) to help the world’s most corrupt countries supposedly ‘fight the climate crisis’ when, of course, there is no climate crisis
Energy:
- Trump’s America will encourage the use of fossil fuels and other cheap forms of energy to bring down the cost of energy for households and businesses to make America more competitive and wealthier
- Starmer’s Britain will restrict the use of cheap reliable fossil fuels while increasing the use of expensive, unreliable and intermittent supposed ‘renewables’ in order to make energy so expensive that households and businesses will be forced to self-ration in order to stay afloat. Though, in the near future, the government may be forced to impose energy rationing using rolling blackouts when energy demand exceeds supply. Starmer’s and MIliband’s ‘expensive energy’ policy will bankrupt households and businesses making our lives poorer and more miserable
Immigration:
- Trump’s America wil clamp down on illegal immigration and start deporting the ‘worst of the worst’ criminals who have entered America illegally and are running riot in America’s crime-ridden cities. In addition, Trump has threatened to put massive tariffs on all products made in Mexico if the Mexican government doesn’t clamp down on the illegal migrant flood
- Starmer’s Britain is encouraging illegal migration by massively increasing the percentage of illegals who are allowed to remain in the UK and by (I think) increasing the amount of free legal aid available to illegal migrants to help them fight to stay in Britain in the unlikely event of their asylum claims actually being rejected. Moreover, Starmer will keep on handing hundreds of millions to France to do absolutely nothing at all to stop the illegal migrant flood
Taxation and public spending
- Trump’s America intends to slash public-sector jobs in order to free up money to lower taxes on households and businesses to encourage economic growth
- Starmer’s and Reeves’s Britain intends to constantly increase the number of people employed by the already bloated, inefficient and incompetent public sector and their salaries and pensions. In order to fund this, taxes on households and businesses will be massively increased leading to bankruptcies, impoverishment and economic decline
Free speech
- Under Trump, the right to free speech will be vigorously defended as Trump views free speech as a vital component of a functioning democracy
- Under lawyer Starmer, ever more restrictions on free speech will be introduced and the police will continue their move from policing crime to policing ‘wrong-thought’. Probably more real criminals will be released from prison early to make room for people being imprisoned for ‘thought crimes’ and ‘wrong-speech’.
Health:
- In Trump’s America there will be an urgent investigation into the safety or otherwise of the mRNA vaccine technology particularly focused on its possible role in causing heart inflammation problems and boosting cancer growth
- In Starmer’s Britain every effort will be made to avoid questioning the mRNA technology as Starmer’s party was one of the main cheerleaders in demanding mass mRNA vaccinations even for groups which were never at risk from the Chinese lab-leaked plague.
These are just a few of the main differences between Trump’s America and Starmer’s Britain which I can quickly think of. No doubt there will be many others I haven’t mentioned.
But perhaps the greatest tragedy is that, due to the Labour Party’s oft-expressed loathing for Trump, Starmer will work to alienate Trump’s revived and successful America in order to have an excuse to take Britain closer to the failing, over-regulated, high-energy-cost, free-speech-suppressing European Union.
I ain’t no political expert. But I think we can all see how the next few years will evolve for Trump’s resurgent America and Starmer’s declining and increasingly desolate Britain.
Have a good weekend!
The difference is that Trump’s policies are still promises and we don’t know what will happen. There are a lot opposed to him and can frustrate his efforts. In Starmer’s case we know his actions are worse than his promises.
They both have the same fault. They think they can control the economy. They need to stay completely out of it and allow free trade and a free market to respond to our actions. The central banks need to be closed and the markets allowed determine the value of the currency. The welfare state needs to be shut down and people need to take responsibility for their own lives. None of this will happen and so we will just carry on.
There is one common problem and that is the growing and unsustainable debt. Neither have a clue what to do about it and that must be solved before anything else.
