You know when sometimes, after fretting about something for ages, and worrying and seeking understanding and enlightenment, suddenly, the mist lifts, the clouds part, the curtains are opened and suddenly JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD STANDS BEFORE ME…

Ok, well its not quite like that; I don’t do much of that religious thing. But I can still experience an epiphany. And it happened this morning. In the bath (I always soak the troublesome back before tennis) with the Mail on Sunday. And a little quarter column article on an insignificant page about the pre-election.

The Association for the Independent Professional and Self Employed people, IPSE, which is very well respected, asked all the political parties for their plans that specifically affect the self-employed, so they could publish them in an ‘election special’ edition of their journal.

All the parties sent in their lies, sorry, their statements, because this is 5.4 million voters here and any sensible politician wants them on board. Or some of them.

Which makes Ed Miliband, in case there were any doubts, not a very sensible politician. As Labour didn’t reply. So in a counter-snub, IPSE published a blank page under the Labour banner. Which, as snubs go, is pretty damned good.

And as I read this a light suddenly came on, a bell rang and the angels sang ‘halleluyah’.

Ed couldn’t write anything supportive of the self-employed because they are generally not affiliated to trade unions. In fact they compete with the trade unions and their members for work, for contracts and thus are ‘the enemy’. And Ed is funded by the trade unions, thus can’t support the hand that bites the other hand that feeds a third hand…

You know what I mean. (then please call and explain it to me).

And then the moment of clarity. My recent inability to understand why Miliband has been banging on about ‘the (fucking) workers’ at every opportunity, as opposed to ‘the rich’, and all that repetitive, ad nauseum bollocks he spouts. Because by ‘workers’ he doesn’t mean you and me. He doesn’t mean the self-employed builders and contractors and market-stall-holders. He just means Trade Union members. The Workers = The Unions in the mind of Ed. And why? Because when he had his famously biblical moment of stealing the birthright from his older brother, he only achieved it by having union backing. Otherwise brother David would now be Labour leader.

And supporting ‘the workers’ and only ‘the workers’ and despising ‘the rich’ is union-speak. And represents the quid pro quo for getting the weasly little shit into power in the first place.

This is pay back time for Ed. He is a puppet of the unions. Or a plasteceine model of the unions anyway.

Vote for Ed. And you get the ghost of Bob Crowe running the country.

God help us all.

Happy Sunday of Clarity
