What to choose to write to you about today?
The steel crisis? Well...that's just the
Tory chickens coming home to roost isn't it? 37 years of running down Britain
because you have unbridled prejudice of the working classes, a hatred of anyone
having a 'life' other that your own privileged sitting on a pile of
slave-wealth, grinning at the plebs - I see that Chancellor of yours was in a
hi-viz jacket again yesterday, he's barely out of it these days, is it some kind
of grubby fetish? "Oh look, I can impersonate someone with
employment"
Donald Trump? He's digging his own grave
"...quicker than larger turns to piss"*. Build a wall round them until you need to marry
one, or get one to mow the lawn...then punish them if they get unemployed, or
ill, or pregnant...no punish the doctor..no punish the Mexicans, the Syrians?
Kill 'em all (with legally held firearms) and let God sort it out!
The academy-schools programme? I think even
the middle-classes are starting to have doubts about that one, I'll leave it to
popular opinion and any forthcoming industrial action for now, we can always
come back to it here! But when Radio4's More or Less is ripping all your Education
Minister's claims and figures to pieces, I think the ice is getting a bit thin
on that one, don't you?
Presumably the bit hived-off yesterday
should now be referred to as the MHS...geddit; Manchester? It's not part of the
NHS if it's under a new authority is it? That great bugbear of Tory dogma,
going back to the fat drunk's hatred of it before it was formed, finally dealt
a death-blow.
You've always despised the fact that we
chose to reward the citizenry, after two World Wars and all the associated
privations, with a humanist safety net. Decided to look after our poor, our
weak, our needy, and provide for everyone, no matter their means. It really
eats you up.
There are those, on the left and in the
liberal centre, who have warned for some time that the agenda is to destroy the
jewel in our otherwise rather tawdry and tarnished crown, but sadly not enough of tthe
electorate were listening. That one thing we - the British - had that was envied
by the rest of the world is to be ground down by your petty, right-wing, hatred
of the common people.
There are so many things to write to you
about, 40 years of telling us Thacherite-Raganomic, free-market, top-run,
bottom-line, trickle-down, capital-lead, private-financed, outsourcing is the
way forward, the best way, the only way and yet, we are all worse off than we
were in 1979. Well, I say 'all', a few of you at the top have done very well
indeed...how many of your party have interests in private health companies?
Half? Three-quarters of the back bench?
While the rest of us have more debt than
ever - personally and nationally, we can't afford housing; bought or rented,
our defence forces couldn't hold-on to a cake without asking America to help,
hospital waiting-lists are on the up, prisons are overcrowded, you're giving
the entire schools estate to a few of your bent mates (with the NHS to follow),
you've flogged everything in the cupboard but not reduced taxation, tripled
your earnings while reducing everyone else's, multiplied your expenses ten-fold
in thirty years, destroyed work-security AND the safety-nets, our kids leave
collage with massive debts, apprenticeships have been reduced to underpaid
work-programmes with few guarantees and lower qualifications (when you can get
one)...
...I can go on, page after page after
page...science, technology, the Police, ports and shipbuilding, mines and
mining, power generation, flood-protection and flood-prevention, house-building
and empty-homes, railways, local authority parking regimes (another tax), local
planners and dying high-streets, courts, tribunals and the judiciary, access to
legal aid, the right to even bring cases, civil rights, monetising the
unemployed, even democracy is under threat...you really are execrable.
