Darrell Castle discusses the recent election in the United Kingdom as well as recent acts of terrorism there and the lack of response to those acts. Transcript WAR OF VALUES Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s pod cast. Today is Friday June 16, 2017 and on today’s pod cast we will primarily be discussing the recent elections in the UK as well as acts of terrorism in the old world. There are many things we could be discussing as the world lurches from one disaster to another such as the recent shooting of four people by a former member of Bernie Sanders’ campaign team. When left wing propaganda sites spew out their rhetoric 24/7 because they will not respect the will of the people and when left wing politicians themselves refuse to rebuke assassination parodies, etc and when their rhetoric as well as their actions is a continual incitement to violence perhaps it’s because they want someone to act on their words, and this time someone did. Today however, we turn our attention to the recent election in the UK in which the Conservative Party under Theresa May received 48’9% of the vote compared to the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn which received 40.3%. This was a disaster for Ms. May and her Party which will now have to accept a coalition partner with which it only partially agrees in order to achieve a majority and thus be able to govern under British Parliamentary rules. The British system is different from ours in that there’s no President and no Senate, only a House with the Speaker of the House running things as Prime Minister, and other House members are in his cabinet. There are 650 seats in the British parliament so it takes 326 seats to achieve a majority. That has to be achieved by one party or by a coalition of parties which can then go to the Queen to formalize a new government. Before the election the Conservatives held a majority of six or 331 seats. They lost 12 so they have 3 19 and the Prime Minister had to go to the Irish Union Party for ten votes giving them a 4 vote majority. The Irish Unionists make up those who originally favored Union with Great Britain in the long struggle between the two countries.  They are pro EU and want a “soft Brexit” which means still in the EU economic zone with EU open border rules which will give migrants a clear back door into Britain. This is all the result of Ms. May’s apparent political mistakes in calling for the snap election in the first place and of her reaction to recent terrorist attacks especially.  She was appointed after the resignation of David Cameron who resigned because he opposed Brexit, and she wanted to be elected to shore up her bargaining position with the EU bureaucrats. There have been 3 fatal terrorist attacks in Britain in the last 3 months. The first at Westminster Bridge left 5 dead, the second at the Arianna Grande concert left 22 dead and the most recent at London Bridge left 8 dead for a total of 35. The London Bridge attack was a truck into a crowd of people and then 3 Muslims jump out with knives and start stabbing people. There were reports of a young woman being stabbed 12 to 15 times while begging for help. There was no help because the British people are unarmed in the face of this invading enemy. Finally one lone and very brave but also unarmed police officer tried to intervene with his baton and he was hospitalized in critical condition for his trouble. The politicians all said nice things about him and gave him a medal but a hand gun with proper training could have saved a lot of lives. The tepid reaction from Ms. May probably cost her Party its majority. All she has are words, no real action to combat the attackers, just words i.e. enough are enough, but we can’t abandon our human rights to hunt these terrorists oh but her most important idea is regulation of the internet. Regulation of the Internet is supposed to control terrorist communications.  There seems to be no concept of Brittan in mortal danger with the enemy inside th...
