Jeremy Corbyn and his detachment from the People.

At the moment The Labour Party doesn't seem to know where its support comes from, one of the first things Mr Corbyn did after being elected was to go to a pro-immigration rally. Now in the last few years I have enjoyed a few pints with the boys in the public bar much like Nigel Farage and like Nigel I have listened to groups of working class men chatting, do you know the two main subjects have been that they would like to see immigration stopped and they are against the EU. Later that day Mr Corbyn stated that he was for The EU and wouldn't vote to come out.
Now this week Kerry McCarthy has  stated that eating meat is on a par with smoking. As the authorities now fine people for smoking in a car accompanied with children, will The Labour Party fine people for giving thier children meat.
I have never seen a party that purports to support the working man distance itself so far from their supporters, they have it wrong over what the ordinary man thinks about Immigration and Europe, and now they are attacking what has been the staple diet for the working man for two generations, Meat  and Two veg.

Gross inequality in Britain.

    I heard an Estate Agent on LBC today say that one of his clients had a property portfolio of 1,000 homes. Average house price in London is £524,000 so their property is worth 524 million. That started me thinking about the inequality in England. There are thousands of young people who can't get started on the property ladder because the prices in relation to wages have soared. Then I started to think of some peoples wealth.
    According to Management Today, The Wealthiest 1,000 Britons own a third of the nations wealth.
    The Queen comes in at around 500 million
    The Duke of Westminster comes in around 8 billion and owns 190 acres in Belgravia.
    Tony Blair maybe around 70 million (not bad for a former Labour Prime Minister )
    David Cameron is only worth around 4 million, but his cabinet combined is estimated at around 70 million.
    Our GDP is 1,744 trillion divided by a population of 70 million is roughly £25,000.00 each.
    Where am I going with this ?
    There are 1 million people in this country relying on food banks. An old age pensioner dies every 7 minutes because they can't afford to heat their homes. I know of one 70 year old who has the state pension of £123.45 a week and his rent to start with is £133.00 plus council tax, television licence, electricity, water, insurance, adds another £50.00 to this, so every week he is - £60.00, this is without food and fun, if he can have any at all ?
So going back it seems that there is gross inequality in Britain, what can we do about it ?
Do we need a revolution ?
Do we need to restrict our housing stock to residents only like some countries ?
Do we need a fairer distribution of wealth ?
Do we need to restrict companies operating in England to English ownership so that these huge multinationals can't shift the tax they should be paying to other countries ?
Do we need to come out of Europe and ask the spongers that come here for benefits to go home ?

Would you like a vote on any or all of these ? The Roar Party is The Only Party that will give you a vote on all important issues. We will put high speed Internet into every home, we will re-engage people in Politics by letting them have E-voting on important issues. After all the people turned out in large numbers when they actually had a vote in The Scottish referendum.
