NEWS DESK MICHAEL WALSH, 9th March 2001

The Blair regime stands on two principles. One is deception, which they are absolute masters of. They can empty your pockets while putting a smile on your face. If you think this an exaggeration think again. Typically they have just delivered a budget that increases the average family’s tax burden from an already swingeing 35.2% to a stomach churning 38.2%. This earned a 50% approval rating with 32% undecided.

Not only is Britain the first race-nation to vote itself out of existence, it is probably the first in the world to give its government a standing ovation for robbing it blind. In a few weeks time there might be unbelievable calls for an encore. Now you know why the Labour Party does not believe in ‘education, education, education’. It believes in ‘thick, thick, thick’.

When exposure finally loosens the regime’s grip on its plunder its spin-doctors give the half-hearted concession headline treatment. But simultaneously they erect barriers to prevent the over-taxed serfs reaching the extra crumbs swept so disdainfully at their feet. It is too diabolically evil to have been dreamed up by the Left and one’s instincts look for the hidden hand.

Those of us with an attention span longer than an Eastenders episode remember Gordon Brown’s passionate words hurled into the 1993 Labour Party conference: "We will achieve what in 50 years of the welfare state has never been achieved – the ends of the means test for elderly people."

The means test is a bureaucratic procedure in which claimants are paper-interrogated to ensure need and entitlement. It is a thoroughly demeaning and humiliating experience that has two outcomes. Claimants too proud to face the ordeal forego their entitlement or they compromise their self-respect; some opt for selling Big Issue on the streets. That is how humiliating the means test is.

Not surprisingly this low-life smirking son of buckboard Scottish preacher received a standing ovation but what followed was more deserving of the gallows.

The few extra crumbs swept off the banquet table in the direction of Britain’s elderly was called the Minimum Income Guarantee; a grand title suggesting an end to pensioners falling beneath the poverty line. Another headline grabber that once again brought a standing ovation from those who believe soap storylines are true. But then came the rub.

To claim his or her entitlement each pensioner is presented with a 43-page document of mind-numbing complexity. It is littered with questions that could only have been dreamt up by civil servants with a thoroughly evil sense of humour. Questions asked of pensioners include ‘are you pregnant?’ or ‘are you on parental leave?’

Hardly surprisingly 800,000 of Britain’s elderly, who made great sacrifices to fight the establishment’s trade war, have decided that it is all beyond them. This is nothing short of euthanasia by poverty.

The same goes for the new Children’s Tax Credit. This is another vote-catching headline hitter replacing the old Married Couples Allowance. Wow! At first glance your average family would be better off by £10 a week – a small portion of their taxed income being returned – or is it?

Ten million couples had benefited from the scrapped Married Couples Allowance but the replacement Children’s’ Tax Credit is so complex that experts reckon that less than half those entitled to it will bother to claim. The government has learned a trick that has so far eluded mankind. They have learned how to have their cake and eat it.

By placing this bureaucratic maze in front of claimants the government whilst giving the appearance of benevolence is raking in extra billions – which are being passed on to the international bankers. The ancient pharaohs used their slaves to build monuments of stone; today’s pharaohs use its slaves to build pyramids of loot.

Such is the barrow boy mentality of Tony Blair and his hapless breed of brown-nosed blood-sucking rogues who are led a merry dance by the wire-pulling melody-makers whom they front.

The award-winning financial experts of the Daily Mail have come to a damning conclusion: ‘The labyrinth complexity of so many regulations laid down by the Treasury means that about five million people aren’t getting the benefits which many sorely need.’

They are the sections of the community least able to fend for themselves; the elderly, the unemployed, those on low incomes; the sick and infirm, the single parents. Those whom Britain’s decaying and crumbling educational and health services have betrayed. This is a regime without scruple and a government without a future. Indeed to call it a regime is an overstatement, even a compliment.

The Labour regime leaves a nasty smelling stain across every household in Britain. Other than a bank manager’s office, theirs is probably the only administrative centre - even in rip-off Britain – where your grandparents would be well advised to take their jacket with them when they visit the loo.

The Labour government’s power rests on their evil duplicity. It is rare for any people to be so betrayed and enslaved by their own elected government. But the regime’s strength is also its weakness, a flaw that should be pounced upon by those who love their people and passionately believe they should give less and receive more.

I implore all conscientious political activists to become Robin Hoods and ruthlessly rob the Chancellor’s taxation convoys as it proceeds to London. Go to your nearest Social Security office, get hold of the Sheriff of Plotingham’s dreadful claims forms, and don’t move until they are fully explained to you. Say you are helping your mum, your friend’s mum. When you have de-coded it prepare your leaflets along these lines:

In one hit you will have fired a devastating salvo and successfully ambushed the Chancellor’s tax-train. At this point you can proceed to empty it and re-distribute a little wealth just like Robin Hood and his band of merrie men and women.

Imagine what you will achieve. You will have claimed a moral high ground that your opposition, even the Far Left, dare not climb. Your leaflets will go in all homes – not just those of the needy. You will appear as the saints you are with obvious results when you are seeking their support and votes.

You will get plenty of opportunity to help needy people who will be keen to show their gratitude. At each home you visit you will be spoiled rotten, treated as an honoured guest and you will find here a fertile recruiting ground. Remember, they all have family who will be similarly grateful. But don’t lay politics on too thick otherwise it could backfire. No one will dare speak badly of you in that community again – not even the newspapers, though they may be stupid enough to try.

As a bonus, every form you complete will deprive the aforementioned low-life son of a buckboard Scottish preacher his ill-gotten gains. Imagine hitting the government for thousands every day. You are feeling better already!

Politics should be exciting and rewarding. But the bonuses don’t end up there. Every form you help the deserving to complete will put more money into the over-stretched pockets and purses of our nation’s mums and dads, the disadvantaged and the disenfranchised. .

This extra money will be spent in your community increasing its prosperity. You will have ambushed the gravy train and returned the looted wealth it to your people, denying the bean counters of Threadneedle Street your community’s sweat. Can you think of a better day’s work? In effect you will be retrieving much of the money that the Chancellor stole.

One last piece of advice. As there will be high demand and you will be ‘short staffed’ you will need to be selective in providing this service. Focus on those whose command of the English language is native to these lands, those who you feel are most deserving, those likely to have helpful documentation such as UK citizenship (not naturalisation), those most likely to have a racial rapport with you. People who will present no language difficulties.

Immigrants and their offspring already have access to scores of agencies specialising in their special needs, dealing with trained people familiar with their diverse languages and culture. You cannot be expected to devote extra time – without resources – to those whose language or culture would reduce the quality of the service you provide.

If you even attempt to try duplicating services already offered in abundance to immigrants and refuges it could hinder their rights – and you wouldn’t wish that, would you?

You should argue that our own population is equally deserving of focused attention on grounds of race and culture. Let them dare to prove otherwise. It would be fun, not to mention uniting, to see a rebel court argue that assisting elderly white pensioners amounts to racism.
