Reform UK Just Destroyed the Uni Party - UK Fights Back

[Ninurta]

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has written to the British Equalities and Human Rights Commission over Starmer's cowardly plan to deny millions of people , including myself , their right to vote in next May's local Elections, fear of losing is no excuse to deny people their right to vote.

In his letter, Sir Ed said: "Article 3 of the first protocol of the Human Rights Act spells out in black and white the right to free elections.

"Removing elections altogether, entirely unnecessarily, is in clear breach of this principle. Can you therefore confirm your plans to investigate the government's cavalier approach to our elections?"

As a former Human rights lawyer and investigation into him by the HRC will probably give Starmer sleepless nights even though he is a Despotic charmless Bastard.

If the HRC decide not to investigate Labour's Anti-Democratic plan it will prove what we already suspect , we don't have any rights to vote in our own Country anymore.

Indeed, fear of losing an election is NOT a valid reason to eliminate elections. "Fear of losing" is, in fact, the very REASON for elections - the ballot box is the citizens first resort, their first line of defense among the Four Boxes, meant to keep politicians more or less honest and on the job. When politicians screw up as "biggly" (to coin a phrase) as recent politicians are doing, it is the citizen's first resort to remove them and replace them with someone that will do the job right, someone who is responsive to the voters.

What these politicians seem to fail to realize is that the ballot box is only the first line of defense among the Four Boxes of Liberty, and that when they make it's exercise impossible, that frustration and pressure are likely to express themselves in other boxes.

The Four Boxes of Liberty concept involves the following boxes:

1) the Soap Box - the right to speak freely about how things are going.

2) the Jury Box - the right to nullify unjust laws by Jury Nullification of those laws - essentially, a jury has the power to either enforce or ignore unjust laws by findings of guilt or innocence, and may nullify unjust laws by finding their victims innocent in court.

3) The Ballot Box - the right of the citizenry to "vote the bums out!"

And, finally, as a last resort...
4) the cartridge box - direct actions against an increasingly totalitarian government.

Now, I am not a citizen of the UK, so please feel free to correct my impressions if they are mistaken, but it appears to me that the UK government is taking active measures to attempt to close ALL FOUR of those boxes in their efforts to subjugate their own populace.

They have, long ago, implemented such draconian anti-gun laws as to make the cartridge box unreachable in a national emergency, such as a hostile takeover of the people by a totalitarian government. Now they are resorting to "anti-knife" laws. They must do that because when you entirely close off one avenue of approach,  pressure is redirected into alternate approaches, until the pressure valve is released. Close that off, too, and yet another will appear. Where does creating a hostage population end? Does it end when they must outlaw pencils, because someone will get jabbed in the neck with one?

More recently, they have closed off the Soap Box by jailing citizens bold enough to speak their own opinions out loud, in contravention of the principles of Free Speech, and have passed increasingly draconian laws to enforce those edicts from on high.

Even more recently, I understand there has been a massive move in the UK to eliminate the right to Trial by Jury, effectively blocking the expression of displeasure at the Jury Box.

... and now, this crass attempt to close the last box, the Ballot Box, by simply issuing edicts that no further elections will be countenanced.

What these anti-freedom, I dare say "communist", forces seem to fail to realize is that even without traditional arms, there is only so much abuse that a population will stand for before they rise en masse and take care of the problem with bare hands and boot heels, if that is the only resort left to them. History shows this to be true over and over and over again.

Always remember, a great many Japanese weapons were derived from farm implements, because that is all the peasantry had left to work with (after draconian anti-weapons laws were emplaced) in order to oppose oppressive regimes... and work with them they did. Where there is a will, there is a way.

UK Government: beware of trampling on the very People you derive your power from. They will eventually get tired of it, and the tighter you lock down their means of expressing displeasure, the more violent their reaction will be when it comes. Yes, the Soviet Union DID last for 70 years or so... but that is a mere blip on the radar of history. When the time came, the Russian People (and indeed all of Eastern Europe in the former "Warsaw Pact" nations) toppled the Soviet Union faster than anyone thought they could. It was breathtakingly fast. I remember it vividly. Once they got a crack worked into the armor, it literally exploded.

UK People: Remember the lessons of history - the earlier you fix the problem of creeping totalitarianism, the easier it is, and the less violent it is. If you wait too long, it tends to get very, very ugly indeed, because greater violence is required to throw off the yoke of greater despotism. The tighter you allow them to seal the armor, the harder it is to remove it, and consequently the more force and violence must be employed therein. That violence has an ugly tendency to spill over on the innocent as well as the guilty.

Please, for your own sakes, take care to remedy the situation sooner rather than later.

Then again, it may already be too late. They appear to be closing the last Box of Liberty before it has to go to bare knuckles and boot-heels. That's when things get REALLY ugly.
