life in the darkness

Well last night’s UK election. What can I say? A historic victory for Labour! Rather like the Blare victory. Although I have high hopes for Sir Keir! A very quiet, calm figure, he sat back and waited. Waited for the public to place their trust in who ever it will be. Sunak. Or Starmer. A lonely figure perhaps, Sunak waited and with bated breath, but the disasters just kept on coming! Labour, labour, labour, labour and yet more, labour seas of red as the news put it. Sunak’s party, the conservatives, who had ruled for 14 years, of hellish torment, were finally being beaten! Beaten by the party for the working class, for the working members of society. For those who live and work without welth. For the poor, for the disabled! Finally, a new era had begun! I woke to a labour government! Although there’s one problem, I live on the iom, who have their own government, which right now in my view, is very highly torie. People have suggested I stand for MHK, member of the house of keys. Yes, in all my career interests, I never thought I would perhaps consider it! After watching all the times I’ve been rejected, all the times the healthcare system has neglected me as a child, with the band keretopathy as well as other things, when I hear on the radio about people having to fundraise. People being evicted from their houses for no reason. The council being sneaky with means tests. Invading privacy asking what income people get and savings. That in my view, is totally wrong! Waiting lists must be cut and recruitment sort! That means IOM students training over here, as well as in the UK. Learning over here about trauma etc. Our hospital becoming a fully fledged trauma centre. With surgeons being trained here as well and the UCM being upgraded with their medical degrees. Partnering with medical schools such as Liverpool. Insentives such as technology being given to them, voutures etc, stuff they would need. University phees scrapped. Education is something people get for free in school, so why not at university? Why must students have debt. They shouldn’t! Why should they have to pay to study? They shouldn’t! Why should disabled people be rejected by employers because of their disabilities, or because they can’t be bothered forking out money for adjustments that must be made, but they don’t want to tell their prospective employee that, so they lie! Yes, I know that system! I’ve had it done to me! The red tape safety policies must be scrapped! You want people to contribute to society, yet on the other hand, you stop them? Because of red tape! Corrupt and disgraceful! The ederly are not getting adequate care, so instead, they are bed blocking. Through no fault of their own. There aren’t enough beds. Yet beds were found so suddenly in the pandemic? There weren’t homes available, but were in the pandemic? Why so freely in the pandemic, but not for those who went to war, faught for our country, then retired, or those who worked all their lives, and now live without dignity? Because they only get £400 or less to live on? The government thinks that’s enough? Because they can line their own pockets with homes in Spain or other places that are hardly used! They should be treated better! And not as shockingly as they are on nhs at times! GP appointness are dier! Waiting 3 months or more? Shockingly bad! Again, doctors need to be trained on iom, right from ALevels and University application. The hospital has many buildings that are wasted because people are not using them! Tax the millionaires who live on the island and force them to pay for the training and upkeep of said buildings! As well as to those in poverty. Or who are unable to work because of long-term illness! There is a lot that this chief minister needs to think about changing and isn’t! It’s about time, like the UK, the iom voted for change! Yes, I suppose this is like a mini manifesto even though I’ve not the means to stand, but I’m seriously considering it! I would primarily focus on help for the disabled, elderly and inferm, and those waiting on long unnecessary waiting lists. They say they don’t want to pay for people to go across, but that’s because there’s lack of trust and lack of availability, because they fail to keep their staff! Why? Look at past cultures. The statistics do not lie. Unless people are endeavouring to manipulate them? As I have said, Change needs to come from the public and more need to stand! Especially disabled! Yes, if I did stand, I suspect I’d be slaughtered, but I would try! The best way to gain experience in politics, is to try and not give up! Listen to your people, not the papers. Listen to those on the streets, not just civil servants. Mix with people around you. What do they want? Give it to them! Don’t just say, leave it with me! That’s the, I won’t do anything attitude! The, I CBA attitude! The, I don’t actually care about constituants’ issues, attitude! No, you deal with it there, in front of them! So they can watch you! They might be at rock bottom, depressed and thinking of ending things! If you can save their life, by helping them with this one thing then do so! Sit with them, talk to them! Check regularly on them! Being in politics for me, wouldn’t just be about government and running my constituency, it would be about the wellfare of my constituents. About their feelings. About their lives! Their wellbeing! How can we help them! Not just sit and argue with other back benchers, or MHKS, or MPs, about issues needing dealing with! You deal with it now! You don’t argue! Unless it’s for your constituent! Unless you’re fighting for them! Or what is right! What’s right in your heart. Like I said, the IOM need to follow the UK! It needs to change! And change it can! We can! Together as one! I have made enamies. I made mistakes. I crossed boundaries I shouldn’t have! I upset people. But if I can redeem myself by being there to help you! To change lives for the better, I will. With every ounce of my being. To the best of my abilities. For you, not for me.
