This isn't going to go well

Oh dear, it seems Theresa May is really Ed Miliband in disguise. ( See "Conservative" manifesto for details. )

No wonder so much Conservative effort has been put into trying to kill UKIP off, they are trying to close the escape hatch for their principles free market, pro-freedom leaning membership.

I doubt it will work.

Also as Theresa heads left its worth remembering she's just blazing the trail for the even more left wing Labour govt that will one day replace the Conservatives.One day they will thank her for all the concessions and push further towards the socialist disaster they so fervently wish to deliver us all to.

PS Blogging very light to to real politics at ground level - it takes up a lot of time. I'm still tweeting away though.

I suspect there will be much to blog about as the real Theresa May makes herself known ...

Why should anyone trust Theresa May ?

There was a #Remoaner article by Alex Massie in the Spectator making the usual excuses for continuing the suspension of sovereignty and democracy that Remain are so committed to.

But he asks one good question - if Theresa May is this week so committed to sovereignty, independence and the restoration of democracy - then why wasn't she before June 23rd this year ?

Yes she kept a level of profile that would have made Agent Corbyn proud on the subject, but she sided with Cameron, Osborn, Goldman Sachs and the EU against the United Kingdom as a sovereign country.

Yet today we have the born again Kipper incarnation of Mrs May.

Don't get me wrong I put country before party and wish the current government the very best in the type of Brexit is seems to want to claim for the United Kingdom. But this doesn't mean there's no questions to be asked about the unexplained road to Damascus conversion of Mrs May.

Could it be that the thing that has scared the Conservatives most has been UKIP embedding into our political system ?

We know Mrs May plays her cards close to her chest. She has still managed to avoid the ideology tags. She certainly had David Cameron and George Osborne fooled as to her real views on how they ran government.

She has the capacity to avoid being understood ( I could put this a less generous way ).

She is clearly tactically astute, brave, patient, ruthless and bold.

But can those of us who campaigned for Brexit and to get our country back trust her any more than David Cameron could ? ( In fairness she didn't betray David Cameron - just clearly harbour some very strong criticisms of his approach and goals that she kept loyally quiet ).

Lets also remember that one of the key objectives of the Conservative party has been to try to cut of the oxygen supply from UKIP - might this be what is really going on just now ?

Without UKIP the establishment will be able to go back to the Euro Oligarchical stitch up they were so pleased with and which protected them from the people.

History already teaches us to treat Mrs May with caution.

The government and the mayor have 6 hours to get ahead of the game

Three days of mass rioting shows that this has passed from the ability of senior police officers to control with their current rules of engagement and resources.

Hence their failure now passes the buck up to the layer of government.

David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson need to understand they will be judged on events tonight.

The terms of the law enforcement efforts need to be changed by them in the next 6 hours or they will join in the responsibility for what happens tonight.

They need to consider:

  1. Curfews;
  2. Army back up for the fire brigade & maybe police;
  3. Shutting down the mobile phone data networks in London;
  4. More aggressive localised policing ( you can't do it everywhere, but one or two traps to crush disorder might help ).
They also need to counter the argument the left are trying to make by telling the left that this is their fault due to the failure of morality in London.

They've got six hours to make decisions that could make a difference. They need to speak to people on the streets to understand what this means to them, as well as the police repeating their common purpose diversity trained brain washed lines.
