On one side of the House we have the perfidious Socialist pondlife espousing their discredited centralist policies & doing their best to remove what little freedom of choice us stout bulldogs still have. Take a look at that smirking imbecile Blair or tax & waste Brown – would you trust either to sit the right way round on the lavatory seat.? The only time that they are not destroying our institutions is when they are thinking up of new ways to tax us further.

Cast a glance if you will across the floor to Her Majesty’s Opposition & they are little better. As opposed to radical thought & a robust commitment to individual liberties, we have frankly only a very slightly watered down version of the tripe that the socialists trot out.

Us much maligned shooters simply don’t trust Michael Howard. Despite all of his platitudes about personal freedom, he doesn’t trust us, the people who pay his salary & fund his pension. The day he took away my Browning was the day I stopped trusting him & the party he now leads.

In November 2003, I wrote to the Leader of the Opposition & asked him whether in the light of spiralling gun crime his pernicious & ineffectual gun control legislation would be reversed if he were to be returned to power. His reply

clearly shows that he has no intention of doing so. Well, Mr Howard, if you do not trust me to own & handle a piece of machinery that the taxpayer trained me to use – I do not trust you to run the country – clearly, I am not thinking what you, Mr Howard, are thinking

Merry Albion is currently short of many things: clean hospitals, NHS dentists for example. Unfortunately, we seem to have a surfeit of politicians of every hew, that seem to think that they know better than we do. I do not want their vision of Blighty, I want the ability & opportunity to go out & create my own. My family & I want to be left alone with all that is ours. We simply do not need people in Westminster telling us what we should be doing & how we should be spending our money. Until such time as the Tory party commits itself to genuine individual liberty they can whistle for the vote of this former Tory.

The whole issue is of course completely academic. As Family FM has applied for postal votes – thus our ballot papers will end up in so warehouse in the West Midlands. I am not sure if there is a Flames of Islam candidate in our constituency, but I have this nasty feeling that my vote may be cast for him by the chummies of the Prophet (may peace be upon him). Anyway, sod it; I am off to shoot some bunnies – that is while our numpty politicians still allow us to do so … after all, according to some in Westminster, rabbits have rights as well.
