I’m not Tory. I never have been. Yet like so many of our voting nation I feel it comes down to the lesser of evils rather than one, stand-out party. You vote for who you hate least. Or you don’t bother at all. And then you’re forsaking your democratic right to vote in a free election. Something three quarters of the world are not allowed to do. They don’t have them in Hong Kong, they don’t have them in the Middle East, nor Russia, China or any of the other uncivilised nations like Singapore.

Cameron’s speech yesterday was good. Much as I don’t much like the man, his words were powerful. And they spoke to me. Which really, is what its all about. Making my life better. Fuck everybody else, this is MY democracy. I don’t think Cameron forgot anything, he just glossed over lots of details which are too unsavoury to consider this side of the election. Like how (and who) the tax relief will be paid for. Like how his beloved NHS (lots of passion there) will never be neglected by him, yet didn’t mention its financial structure. And we all know that if the NHS was a financial patient in an NHS hospital, it would die. Or be left sitting on a gurney in a hallway for 6 months.

The Lib Dems have their conference next week and we’re all eagerly awaiting a good rest. Let them confer. No-one cares what they say, they’re a spent force. I don’t think tv crews will bother attending. No more than they attend the Carshulton pavement widening scheme meetings.

Farage and his merry UKIPpers are ridiculous and for some reason, punching above their weight. Their ‘keep Britain for the British’ sloganising has a great retro, 1960s, Oswald Moseley type appeal. But is ill-conceived, divisive and shallow. However many Tories join them.

So that leaves the ‘big 2’. Who could vote for Ed Milliband? His mother? Certainly not his brother. And if not Ed, who could put the Labour Party in a better light? The other Ed? Harriet Harman? They have no credibility to lead anything.

And we need to sort out European immigration. Which I don’t have issues with in principle, but we simply have run out of room. And run out of money. So it no longer makes any sense at all.

But now there’s a new threat. Robots. Just when you thought the trouble started with Human Rights, as defined by Brussels, the Eurocrats have now commissioned a RoboLaw consortium to investigate robot rights. Ahhhh, that’s how they spend all our money. Because robots aren’t just C3PO kind of mechanical humanoids, no they come in all shapes and sizes. Driverless cars are classed as robots. Whereas most car drivers are classed (by me) as dickheads. Prosthetic hands are robots. Real hands get no classification other than ‘hands’.

So now we’re going to be inundated with hundreds of thousands of East European robots, taking our jobs, eating our food (???) living in our houses…

Happy thursday
