Caveat

 
The DR Manifesto...

Manifesto
I'm not standing for office. I'd be a shite politician, partly because I'm unpleasantly honest and partly because I hate wearing suits... If I wasn't, this is what I'd be campaigning on...

Main Topics...

Make Drugs Legal
Prohibition doesn't work, duh! It gives too much money to organised crime... Updated: Letter to the Telegraph 'Alcohol and Tobacco are the gateway drugs - if there is such a thing...'
(Upd: 11 Mar 2006)

Errant Fathers
How can fathers be expected to 'take responsibility' for their kids when the law always presumes in favour of the mother? I got a reply - and here's my reply to that Welfare and Compensation Culture = No Legal Responsibility
(Upd: 11 Mar 2007)

A New Political System
A solution for: Party Funding, Reform of The House Of Lords, and it incidentally makes the whole voting process far more democratic...
(Upd: 25 Feb 2007)

Principles
My principles of government.
(Upd: 25 Feb 2007)

Road Pricing
Tony Blair and the entire Labour Government are cretins... Road pricing has to be the most hare-brained scheme ever - devised by the evil cretinous muppets from hell - the Politicians...
(19 Feb 2007)

Old People
Old folks have no respect in our culture. That is so wrong!...
(18 Feb 2007)

Poverty
How do we define poverty? How do we reduce it? Well, not taxing the poor would help...

The EU is a criminal organisation intent on conquest...

Education
Educators need to aim higher, and politicians need to butt-out.
(12 October 2006)

Security
It was a no-brainer that invading Iraq with Bush would cause more grievances than it solved. When has starting a war ever brought peace?

Welcome to Drunken Rantings...

The things missing from British politics, and British politicians these days:
  • Vision
  • Honesty
  • Integrity
  • Common Sense
  • A LOVE Of Our Beautiful Country and it's Eccentric People

...it may be crap, but at least it's genuine crap!


If only we could vote for someone who wasn't a career politican. Someone who actually once had a job, and was quite good at it. If only someone would speak plain English, propose some policies which were properly clever - and worked...

I'm no Tory, and Labour are awful. The Lib Dems are, well, basically gay, and UKIP don't seem to be a real party... I'd start my own, but I'd be an terrible politician...

I'm not a bad systems-analyst though, and I have a vision, a plan. I know where I'd like the UK to be and I know how to get it there too. I want to make a difference, but all I can really do is design systems, and build websites... So here it is - my website explaining how I'd set up all the UK to be more efficient...

I'm just working on a Manifesto. My ego knows no bounds...

 
Some bullshit being expressed... Some bullshit being expressed...

Fed-up with smooth-talking politicians with no policies?

DR's about as politically correct as an uzi in a schoolroom... but it's packed with constructive ideas for damn good policies that'd make the UK great again...

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown Tony Blair and Gordon Brown

Politicians, if you're reading this, sort yourselves out! You all talk about 'making the tough decisions' but the only time you do is over tax or war...

Working hard at making yourself look good is *not* the same as running the bloody country!

It seems to be that everything the UK government turns its attention to - turns to shit... Which would be great if their job was to make us all laugh...

There's not a single 'policy' listed in the Labour Party's 1997 manifesto that they have fulfilled. Not one. In TEN years! In fact - everything they mentioned has got worse - with the possible exception of conditions for doctors who now earn far too much and do too little... A bit like politicians then.

Remember 'Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime'. What a steaming heap...

Cutting-edge environmental policies from the UKIP policy group...

Sorry I haven't been posting - I have a life...

I got into a discussion with the UKIP policy group again... I do wonder how they will avoid extinction

Not only do they want to promote nuclear & coal power to the exclusion of all renewables, they also think that global warming is a myth used purely for political leverage... It could be, but it may not be - and that's hardly a policy that going to buy them a whole mountain of votes...

Crap, I`ve dropped my car keys... Stop Rising Sea Levels, Reclaim The Deserts!...

A Solution To Rising Sea Levels

This thought was inspired by an article in the New Scientist about the 10-year (and counting) drought in Australia - which is now perhaps not a drought, but the new climate...

If we are facing rising sea-levels due to global warming melting polar ice - then perhaps we need somewhere else to put that water... Hey - don't we have things called 'deserts'...

Hey - if those deserts had water - couldn't we grow food there?...

You may address me as `sweetie` King Brown at his most glorious coronation...

The Coronation of King Brown

The Blair years are over... I just don't feel as happy as I think I should... Do you get that feeling too?

A clunking great big, fat, black, scottish cloud seems to be hanging over me - and I think it's called Gordon (I have now mastered this `smile` as you call it) Brown...

Let the ranting commence!

...aaargh, all principles... being sucked out of me... David Cameron being re-programmed by evil Blairite scientists...

The Modernisation Of The Conservative Party

I felt moved to write to David Cameron - after the Grammar Schools debacle - which basically stemmed from him forgetting that the Conservatives stood for personal choice, and also for honesty.

The facts are grammar schools benefit everyone, and if he's going to just pander to the lefty teachers who have already fucked up the education of millions by sticking his head in the sand pretending they don't - then he is not a man of principle...

He's really pushing his luck at the moment, but all he really needs to do is remember what the Tories traditionally stood for - and take those principles on as his own... That's what my letter urges him to do. He'll probably ignore it...

26 June 2007

Yup, I got a 'thankyou' email. He ignored it... All this crap Cameron's going on about `People Power` - It's apparently just bullshit.

UPDATED: 28 June 2007


Safe as houses mate! Who can I vote for who opposes nuclear? Hmmm?

UKIP: Nuclear Power Policy

I joined the UKIP Policy Working Group on the environment, and I received a letter and 'report' from Stephen Bush - Co-Chairman ...

They guy basically says 'renewables are not up to the job, and we need 80% of our electricity to come from nuclear - like the french'. Which is a crock of shit. So I replied...

Eeny Meeny Miny Mo... You can have the ginger one... I`ll have the chubber

Family Breakdown

The family is officially dead. Perhaps the gay priests can help?.. I have been obliged to rant about this issue in a number of ways because I'm a single parent, and I'm a Dad. Go figure!

  • Errant Fathers - as encouraged by law. (Letter to David Cameron)
    How can he expect fathers to 'take responsibility' for their kids when the law won't support them and always presumes the kids should be with the mother...
  • Fathers For Justice - I contacted them because I thought they should have better info on the legal situation (and better contact details) on their website...
  • Paedo-noia - 99% of guys (me included) loathe nonces, and would rather cut off their own bollocks with a rusty spoon rather than shag a kid. BUT the paranoia over paedophilia is hindering normal relationships between men and children. All guys are considered 'potential rapists and paedophiles' by some, and that is insulting, wrong, and it hurts the children it's supposed to protect by instilling irrational fear of male adults.

We know you`re having an affair - it`s on your road pricing bill! We know you`re having an affair - it`s on your road pricing bill!

Road Pricing

Quite possibly the most stupid and intrusive idea ever devised by the evil hordes...

  • It won't work, it won't work, and it won't work.
  • It'll cost more than a new hospital in every town
  • It will be used to spy on you
  • Not only that, it won't f*kin work.

Poverty and Old People

Defining 'poverty' in the UK...

Can you afford your own house? - No? - Then you are a pauper - destined to line the pockets of others with your hard-earned yet pitiful wage.

Old people - why do they smell like that and what use are they anyway?

The EU. Incompetant or Corrupt? It`s a lose-lose situation... The EU. Incompetant or Corrupt? It`s a lose-lose situation...

Calling for a Cost-Benefit Analysis on EU Membership

For 30 years people have been asking for a cost-benefit analysis of the UK's membership of the EU. The government line has always been that the benefits are 'obvious', but everyone knows that's bollocks...

This is an email I sent to my local MP - Jonathan Djangogly (Con. Huntingdon)

The House of Lords. Admission £50 grand... The House of Lords. Admission £50 grand...

Cash for Honours and
Improved Political System - Now With Added Democracy!

The cash for honours debacle is really funny (if you're not implicated)... It's how parties have always been funded! I draw the line at my tax money funding their stupid advertising campaigns though. I really object to that.

Being me, I had to design my own political system which is FAR more democratic and removes the need for funding these corrupt nincompoops... As usual I think it's pretty damn good, (but then my shrink tells me I have a messiah complex... my child...)

16 January 2007


Nigel Farage. Insufficient data to mock... Nigel Farage. Likes to drink while wearing pin-striped suits, eternal optimist. Not good with money.

An Exchange of Emails With UKIP

An email conversation I had with Derek Norman of UKIP... Covering UKIP, Nuclear vs. Renewable power, The value of opinions...

Social Security - A Total Redesign.

How social security could be changed to make it effective, cheap and simple, while reducing teenage pregnancy and unemployment...

David Cameron - Making the Conservatives Unelectable... Again?

Dropping the only policies which actually ever worked for the Conservatives... Good move,or Posh Muppet demonstrating utter lack of understanding? I've already made my mind up...

This young man was overjoyed to meet Gordon Brown in person... This young man was overjoyed to meet Gordon Brown in person...

Politicians should be paid the average (median) national wage.

This is a much fairer way of judging a politician's worth - (as opposed to them deciding themselves)

This way - they actually have a real incentive to increase the wealth of the general population.

Fishing Rights

We should take back the fishing rights we gave away in the early 70s when we joined the 'common market' - and regain ownership of our own waters.

We could then manage the fish stocks sustainably (ie provide no-fishing areas which would act as safe spawning grounds)
