YP Letters: The laws of nature have been kicked into touch in the UK

The more I read in the press and listen to on the news I fear for our beloved Britain.

There is a recent report in the media that an ex-Liberal leader who was once jointly in charge of our Government is advocating the destruction of democracy by proposing that we should have another Brexit referendum and that all voters under 39 should get two votes.

Former leaders of a once great party, the Liberal party, like Gladstone, Asquith and to a lesser extent Churchill would turn in their graves if they knew what the present day lot were up to.

Politics apart, this great nation of ours was brought up on morality and living by the laws of nature, and it has stood us in good stead. I am afraid today that the laws of Mother Nature have been “kicked into touch”.

I am sure that free to view pornography on the internet is leading to an increase in sexual crimes across the country and is readily available to our children.

Now we have vile abuse floating across the airways towards MPs and other people of note by people with chips on their shoulders who are not fit to be living in a civilised society.

The British used to be noted for respect towards their fellow men and good manners. Where has it all gone?

The Tories, while in power, will never ever put our employment rights back to what they were under old Labour from 1974-79 when workers had 13 weeks to claim unfair dismissal. Thatcher immediately changed that to six months and by 1984 two years to claim unfair dismissal. The reason? Business would not support, fund the Tories. It shows the contempt the Tories have for the majority, what’s left of the UK workforce. It wasn’t the EU, Thatcher’s mob did. Major scrapped the wages council putting wages as low as £2 per hour for adults, no talk or desperate need for Eastern Europeans then, as business got away with it until Blair introduced the National Mimimum Wage – if it was not paid they would be reported. He too was a Tory.

So Tony Blair continues to bleat on about how we could stay in a reformed EU. Doesn’t he realise that every time he opens his mouth the Brexiteers cheer because nobody will ever believe anything he says after the Iraq debacle?
