Bizarre stand up and fight speech
So what are we up to this morning we are going to cycle to Liverpool to the docks have a look at what the co what’s going on at conference what the atmosphere is starting off after I walk the dock see you later so we just left Manchester we’re on the Bridgewater
Canal uh then we are going to go on Route 61 or 6 62 which takes us all the way to run corn about 50k to go so we had now on the Route 62 or is it 61 can’t remember that takes us all the way to
Southport we are just going to go to Liverpool about 50k to go so not much to talk about the labor conflict confence yet maybe let’s go back to what happened at the Tory conference did anyone see the pany M speech freedom stand up and fight if you stand up your neighbor
Stand up if your neighbor stands up the nation stands up if the nation stands up other nations will stand up what a whole lot of bollocks however Freedom seems to have been a big Topic at Party Conference it’s the party of Freedom it’s not defined though what do they mean by talking about
Freedom freedom not to pay taxes freedom to pollute our Rivers put rare sewage in it freedom to stop your right to protest freedom to Define that you’re not human anymore the Tories are good at using platitudes that do not require a definition like Freedom means something else for everyone and it
Means as such it means nothing and it’s uh absolutely bizarre I I will have a link of the in the description of P py M’s speech if anyone can be bothered to look at it absolutely bizarre talking about Freedom Party or Freedom being an important definition
Of the T party it’s telling that our prime minister likes the freedom to tell absolute lies so he canell cancels ha just to he he just shows the contempt he has the English vot on and in particularly the people of North and he comes up with a whole list of
Projects that the 32 billion or 3 OD billion are supposed to go on new projects that are supposed to W up for losing out on ags2 however like hours after it’s becoming obvious that there’s actually no new projects that this money is going to be
Spend on it’s a bit ironic that labor is holding its conference in Liverpool though working class in Liverpool Liverpool has been shunning the sun since hillsbury Hillsboro yet we have a labor party about which we haven’t got much to say about policy yet because they are afraid of papers like the
Sun when truth and facts do no longer seem to matter with one of our biggest parties in the country it’s uh not surprising that the person who had the biggest pull factor at the conservative conference and Drew through the biggest crowds was Nigel farash says says it all doesn’t it what an ay The talking to William from get PR done outside the labor Party Conference in Liverpool yes so William why do we need PR we need PR because we need to have more voices in our Parliament at the moment there are only ever two parties we live in a duopoly in the United
And it’s always either the conservative party and sometimes the labor party in the last 100 years we’ve had two3 of the parliaments have been conservative and only a third of them have been labor and that only two voices the world is a very very very different place from what it
Was when the system was formulated over 150 years ago most western democracies now have proportional representation we’re very unusual in the UK to still have the very outdated unfit for purpose first pass the post the only other big countries that have got first part of the post are United States of America
And look what a mess that is in and then also in Canada Canada is doing a lot of work to try and get PR um New Zealand very recently uh went over to the pr side um it is it’s a proven fact that countries that have PR are happier the
Citizens are happier they are better taken care of they are more productive uh it’s a win-win situation the big parties don’t like it say to those people I completely agree with you but what do you say to those people who keep saying yeah but then we get really extreme parties
Into my immediate answer to that is it is up to the parties who get into power to make sure that that doesn’t happen they need to come up with policies they need to come up with practices they need to they need to do what they say they’re
Going to do the number of Manifesto pledges that have been broken over over my lifetime is immense um politicians say things and then they don’t follow through there’s a huge H uh distance now between what they’re saying and what they’re actually doing and it disenfranchises people it get makes
People very fed up there’s always the possibility that extreme voices will get uh get represent will get into the house I supp there’s all but she’s done it in this she’s done it through the conservative party exactly you know um they get in by hook or by crook um and
But the thing about I mean braver I mean but no no saying person wants to have extreme govern it’s it’s it’s a recipe for disaster you know complete recipe for disaster PR I must stress PR is not a silver bullet it’s not going to solve all our problems it’s not but what it
Does is it opens up the discourse it makes the electorate it should make democracy relevant exactly this idea that one party can rule the country well I mean the conservative done a magnificent side I mean we are in a situation where we on the second non-elected by greater public
Prime minister who tearing up their Manifesto on which they got elected on and there’s nothing we can do and there’s nothing we can do about it and and when you have proportion representation you would have many many many more voices in um in Parliament now a lot of
Politicians don’t like it because it means that they don’t get a rubber St exact but why should they have a rubber yeah it’s yeah do you think we are going to get PR on the labor it won’t be in the first Parliament yeah um because it won’t be because they’re not
I I it’s it’s very unlikely they’re going to put it in the manifesto and it’s such a huge change that we’ll have to be part of the manifesto it have to be part of the reason why people vote for them for the labor the vast majority of
People who are questioned about this who know what the difference is between PR and first the post the vast majority of people in this country support it so it it is only a matter of time and I would just say to K what are you waiting for
Do it yeah thank you very much okay with G here from Sodom G why is it still important to try and get back into the EU um because it doesn’t matter what you do to address the various problems that been might be facing we will be U fighting uphill unless we have the
Apparatus that comes with the EU we are just making life hard for ourselves so we’ never fully achieve anything I’m not saying that we couldn’t do certain things without being in the EU we certainly could but if you want a complete menu of uh tools with which to
Win the advantages we need in terms of our economy in terms of our security uh we need to be part of the EU because the EU is something that was created in order to facilitate both those things so all of the people who are already me members of it are enjoying those
Advantages and if we’re not part of it we they will have a head start on us on all of those different things okay thank you very much Dar you’re welcome hi I’m here with Douglas in front of the labor conference in Liverpool Douglas good evening how’s it
Going very good and you amazing thanks good your your T-shirt has cried a message lab by his dad why why do you believe that would you like a flag um well basically because it’s been taken over by the Predator class who they they saw that the end of the
Conservative party was coming because after Co nobody really believed in in being screwed by the Predator class any longer so so they realized they needed a Lifeboat and they they they found that Lifeboat in K stor who basically lied his way into the the the front of the
Labor party in order to serve the interests of the Predator class so they can keep screwing us basically it’s no longer serves the interest of of the many no longer serves the interest of the planet or the people of this country um it’s a it’s a
Disgusting fce it’s a it’s a it’s a neoliberal ugly neoliberal capitalist sham basically um so yeah labor is dead what what’s the answer though uh what the answer well to be honest I’m I’m quite nihilistic at the moment I think uh as as starmer and streeting have already mentioned
Um uh they they want they they have literally said that they wanted to destroy hope that’s the reason they were put there because obviously uh The Gardener kind of inspired hope in people and um because you the Predator class don’t like it when people have hope because then then
People kind of start talking to each other they start organizing uh and they they they sort of start realizing that there could be a better way to organize society and a better way to um better way to live and a better way to move together as a as a
As a civilization and um so I’m kind of a bit stuck on that at the moment because um people are buying into this you know people people because they the labor party let’s face it they got one they got two policies uh destroy the left uh and um and they’re not the
Tories the only hope is for all these desperate leftist groups who are disappointed with this and and distressed by this to to start coming together so like you know the LBG LBGTQ communities the the various leftist communities around the climate and stuff they need to there’s a new
Incentive called for the many Network which hopefully is going to start joining the dots between these different groups uh between the unions um and just between ordinary people who are just sick of this sherard that we call British politics so hopefully that I think that’s the only
Way forward really is is is to totally by bypass the should up now I’m sorry no I think there’s I mean the thing is there could be hope in a long term but the real in point is that we haven’t got a long term like we need to keep the oil
In the ground now we can’t wait for for for for for like a a massive Wind Farm company to give streeting or starer a big enough backhand that he suddenly goes oh well now of course I love Tree Huggers you know it’s like we can’t wait
It’s like our species has got like this long before we’re all burning nobody’s got a good word to say about K St nobody nobody apart from other Predators okay anyway sorry sorry but you know it’s a nice day it’s a nice day it’s going to get warmer for
A few years we’ve had a lovely summer as as the planet gets warmer we’re going to have some lovely summer here the temp that’s it’s October so you know it’s like there are good things I mean obviously in 20 years your kids are going to burn or boil or or be deciding
If they want to eat you or your dog um but you know for now it’s all gravy especially if you’re a member of the labor party or or one of their Predator class sponsors on that cheerful note thank you very much we are the workers we fight for our [Applause] right
I’m back home I actually took the train back from Liverpool took about 40 minutes took me another hour to get home from the train station to north of Manchester and I’m back where I started this morning walking my dog what day did we have actually it was an extremely my cycle from Manchester
To Liverpool via run corn about 80k from my house door so from Manchester it will be about 20K less uh the route is mainly Offroad I probably from Manchester there’s probably only about 10K on the road really enjoyed it conference wise noticeable was there was a
Lot of uh people on the left who are extremely unhappy with stara I sympathies I think uh uh he is in in a city where the sun is shined but St himself uh need needs papers like the sun uh to sway people that usually a
Vory and you can see it in his actions and in his words uh and uh let’s see what he will come out with at conference it will be interesting
