The Labour Party, broke their election promise to safeguard pensioners and vulnerable people— this, has condemned the elderly, low-paid workers, and families with young children to the brink of hypothermia and starvation. As fuel costs soar and government support wanes, the most vulnerable are left abandoned.

The Conservative assault on pensioners with the freezing of the personal allowance and Pensioners’ Christmas bonus and others on benefits frozen at £10 since 1972, is now driven further by this Labour government. They’ve robbed millions of pensioners—especially those with modest workplace pensions—of crucial support. These pensions, already insufficient, were meant to supplement inadequate government provisions.

Note: £10 in 1972 is equivalent to approximately £40 today when accounting for high instances of inflation over the years.

For or those over 75 who contributed to National Insurance for 50 years, the betrayal is deeper. They receive lower pensions than those on the new scheme, which only requires 35 years of contributions. The system was rigged—rules changed, qualifying years manipulated, leaving long-time contributors underpaid and overlooked.

It’s time for justice. Pensioners must be paid according to their full qualifying years, with compensation for those short-changed. This cruel exploitation cannot go unanswered. More on this in my upcoming article on Pension Reform.

The plight of the marginalised has reached new depths as the unelected Quango, Ofgem, shamelessly raises the energy price cap this October. This move will hand energy giants an obscene windfall of over £100 million, bringing their total profits to a staggering £1.2 billion. Where is the justification for such greed?

How can the regulator, entrusted with protecting consumers, justify this betrayal?

Ofgem must be held accountable before Parliament and forced to explain this outrageous act of largesse that deepens the suffering of the most vulnerable, or “Is It Me!”

This new cohort of Labour MPs must be judged by their actions—through the lens of the “Royd Hierarchy of Moral and Ethical Attributes for Politicians.” Those who fail to meet these standards should face consequences, not through offensive acts, but through the British way: peaceful, principled resistance.

Do these names mean anything to you: ‘Ken Saro-Wiwa, Barinem Kiobel, Dr. Felix Nuate, John Kpuine, Daniel Gbokoo, Clement Tsoho, Paul Levula, Mimi Abang, and Ganiyu Ogbara?

Probably not, but in the late 20th century, particularly during the 1990s, Nigeria faced significant environmental degradation due to oil drilling activities, primarily by multinational corporations like Shell. The Niger Delta region, rich in biodiversity and home to many local communities, suffered from extensive pollution, oil spills, and gas flaring.

Among the most prominent figures in this struggle was Ken Saro-Wiwa, a Nigerian writer and environmental activist. He co-founded the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), which aimed to address the grievances of the Ogoni people regarding environmental degradation and human rights abuses.

On November 10, 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa and the eight other activists were executed by hanging after being convicted of murder in a controversial trial widely criticised for lacking fairness and transparency. A trial that was widely claimed could have been avoided by an intervention from Shell, which drew international condemnation and highlighted issues surrounding corporate responsibility, environmental justice, and human rights violations in Nigeria. It also sparked global awareness about the plight of communities affected by oil extraction practices.

At that time, I extensively used the M1 to visit my clients and rather than pay the higher Motorway Services’ petrol prices, I used a number of junctions with close access to local petrol stations.

On such a journey I pulled of at the Loughborough junction with two petrol filling stations, across the dual carriageway from each other. To my amazement there was a huge queue of cars for the one on the opposite carriageway, but not a single car was using the Shell petrol station, so I drove past, almost to the University and joined the silent queue on the other carriageway.

After that, Shell rebranded the station BP, but to no avail and now the site has been redeveloped, the petrol station has gone, so I pay tribute to the good people of Loughborough— Justice was served.

From that day to this I have not filled up at neither a Shell nor a BP petrol station.

The moral is simple: small, deliberate actions can have powerful effects. If you’re in a Labour-affiliated union, refuse to pay the political levy. Labour Party members should cancel their subscriptions. Labour MPs should cross the floor to other parties. Local Labour activists and volunteers should resign their posts.

As for the general public, have nothing to do with anyone aligned to the Labour Party—whether at work, socially, or recreationally. No fuss, no anger, even if you feel it. The most effective weapon against these morally bankrupt individuals is to ignore them—completely and permanently, unless they repent and take active steps to right their wrongs.
