Its time for new men

Prominent on many newspapers today was the headline "Foreign criminals bribed £2500 to go home". Can you imagine Britain in 1906 paying criminals to leave the country? Just this year, our courts decided Britain did not have the power to deport nine Afghan men who hijacked a plane and flew it here, then claimed asylum. They still live here, on benefits, in council housing. We can't deport many of the jihadis who have been caught in the midst of conspiracies here, because they might be tortured in their home countries. When the vote on 90-day detention for terror suspects was voted on in the House of Commons, the Conservative party voted against it.

What is my point? Britain is ungovernable. It is hamstrung by international accords, agreements, supra-national laws, conventions and treaties. But what is worse, is that the men who supposedly rule here COOPERATE in making Britain needlessly vulnerable and open to attack. Thats why I noted the Conservatives dismal failure to support at least some common-sense legal reactions to our current state of affairs.

We need leaders, and a political party, who are rational and steely in their defense of the English people. Men who will not allow all that external international (especially EU) law we signed up for in decades past under very different circumstances to stop them from governing the country. They would need to revoke treaties that do not help our interests, unmake laws that stop us from living safely, and nullify international agreements that don't allow us to rule ourselves well. They would solve our real problems, and not worry about which international lawyers were peeved with them.

Do we currently have a party like that? No. I've checked, and there is no current serious candidate. So who will step forward?
