Tory Party Ethics
In a breathtaking display of barefaced cheek, Iain Duncan Smith is inciting British employers to break EU law, by asking them to take on British workers before other nationalities. He is asking them to do something that his own government is not prepared to do - ensure that British workers are given first refusal on the few jobs available. This is typical empty Tory rhetoric: talk tough on an issue that strikes a chord with the voters, and then do absolutely nothing about it. The Tories took us into Europe in 1973, and then without a trace of irony they make noises from time to time about “standing up for Britain” - but have basically bent over forwards for the EU ever since! They have, little by little, handed our sovereignty to a foreign power as surely as those other ex-public schoolboys Burgess, Philby, Blunt and Maclean would have, to the Russians in the 1950's.

British Government Ethics
And while we're about it Mr Smith, how about buying British, and enabling English factories to employ English workers, by buying trains made in Derby rather then Germany? Yet another disgraceful dereliction of duty by a British government in not pro-actively supporting home industries, and giving foreign companies custom before our own. We are in effect paying twice for those German trains - we have to find £3 billion to pay Siemens, and then we have to ask the taxpayer to pay unemployment benefit to the 1400 engineers who will now lose their jobs at Bombardier. This is the economics of the madhouse, just as it was to buy cheap foreign coal and close English pits - what happens when the last of our jobs have moved abroad and we run out of taxpayers to pay the dole bill, Mr Smith? Won't be long at this rate!

The Work Ethic
Getting back on topic, the English Radicals have always argued that immigration should be allowed only to fill urgent skill shortages, and not used to undercut the wages and conditions of the unskilled. Some employers are saying they actually prefer foreign workers, and praise them for their work ethic: We suspect that some of these employers ask far more of their staff than is reasonable, but most foreign workers, in a strange land, are less inclined to argue with a bully boss than an Englishman, and so the more docile immigrant is taken on. It's also hardly surprising that people living in areas where there has been high unemployment for decades and have learnt to get by on benefits, don't have the most highly developed will to work.

Youngsters especially, who go through the “one size fits all” comprehensive school system with no real prospects of a steady job at the end of it, underachieve as students and then lack the skills and motivation needed to be good employees, and thus the vicious cycle reinforces itself. This in turn creates a generation of unemployed voters fearful of Tory governments, who make noises from time to time about clamping down on “benefit culture” and tightening up the criteria for claiming Job Seeker's Allowance while simultaneously denying England's unemployed the chance to work, by buying German trains and North Korean steel -
so the unemployed masses vote Labour to make sure their benefits are protected....

Labour Party Ethics
…Which brings us nicely to those other quislings, the Labour party. How many times have you heard a Labour politician say they are fighting a factory closure in their constituency – when in fact a quick demographic study of solid Labour seats usually reveals a larger than average percentage of unemployed people? Rather than fight a closure, a Labour politician is more likely to be secretly rubbing their hands with glee, because Labour get more votes from the unemployed worrying about their benefits, than they do from the people the government take taxes from to pay for the benefits – the employed.

English Radical Ethics
The English Radicals feel a new approach is needed as regards getting England back to work – top of the wish list would be for Cameron's Eton Rifles to take Britain out of Europe and stem the flow of uncontrolled EU labour into this country, followed by an undertaking by the government to protect English and British jobs by buying, wherever possible, goods made here.

Next, we would like to see the young talent in this country find a suitable outlet by increasing the number of Grammar schools (many of which are currently oversubscribed, proving their popularity) and the re-introduction of technical colleges for those students with hands-on practical skills. Universities have their place, but only for the truly academic – and as it's a wish list, the English Radicals would ban the Politics, Philosophy and Economics degree that so many of our current political priesthood currently hold (follow this link, if you don't believe us!)

We believe it is more ethical to have people who have lived in the real world, with real life experience – housewives, workers, pensioners, employers, the unemployed, and ex-forces personnel - to represent us in parliament, not the bright young things fresh from their PPE university degree who have never had a proper job, but get parachuted into safe seats by the big parties, ahead of local candidates.

And let’s see the public doing their bit, by voting in more independent and “local party” politicians, to simply represent the interests of their constituents at whatever level they have been elected, rather than slavishly obeying a “big party” directive from London, in order to gain favour with the leadership.

Let's see a return to positive ethics, instead of the sleazy, self serving and sometimes downright treacherous ethics followed by the main parties.
