Where's The Anger?

Currently Britain is being run by a Government that is borderline incompetent. It is a Government that has made more U-turns than a kitten chasing its own tail. The last budget was a catastrophic disaster not only in it content but also in its delivery. How Vince Cable manages to continue in his roll as a junior to Osborne is beyond me. The comparison is frightening. In Mr Cable you have a man who was condemning the bankers years ago, who questioned Bob Diamonds appointment but was dismissed out of hand, who showed absolute awareness of who Murdoch was and the type of  corporation he controlled and even questioned the dangers of capitalism. He has a boss in Osborne who has never had a proper job,lives a life of privilege with massive inherited wealth and has no awareness at all about life outside the aristo/politcal bubble he travels in. In a nutshell he is a posh,chinless knob head who is currently in a job way above his competencies.


 If Cameron was genuinely governing in the interest of the nation he would make Vince Cable Chancellor of the Exchequer now.  But of course Cameron has never governed in the interest of the nation. He governs in the interests of Cameron, motivated  by the hatred and prejudices of all  people that are not of his class. That hatred never more vividly demonstrated than his continuing politically motivated demonisation of anybody on welfare along with his efforts to privatise the NHS. His motivation on destroying the NHS being along the lines of " why do I have to pay for the children of riff raff to have access to free healthcare". His motivation for his attacks on benefit claimants being that he knows it plays well with the 'daily heil' and its fascistic acolytes and it is the only way he can get any sort of bounce in the polls. I predict Camerons next attack on the welfare system will be the next time the government screws up, or the next Tory party donor funding scandal, or some similar evidence of incompetence. I do not know which is sadder, Camerons arrogance in his belief that the public are too stupid to realise that his welfare attacks are a smoke screen to divert them from the governments inadequacies or that the public actually fall for all this divide and rule bu****it. 

Currently we are living in a society where bankers can bring the economy to it's knees, putting thousands out of work, and yet be bailed out by taxpayers, yet the worst they have to fear is having to sit in front of a toothless enquiry or having their knighthood removed. Meanwhile if you steal a bottle of water your banged up for 6 months with your life destroyed. Politicians can defraud thousands in taxpayers money via expense claims and not even lose their job as an MP while if you take the left shoe from a pair of trainers...well, you know where I'm going.

Cameron does not want a judicial enquiry into the finance industry mainly because it would involve and implicate people who donate millions to the Tory party. Their ploy is to attempt to tarnish the Labour government as being complicit and present the sons and daughters of investment bankers and Trust Fund managers, as holier than thou. Another concern of the Tory's, if a full judicial inquiry was held, would be ruining the possibility of  filling all those non-executive positions waiting for them on bank boards when they leave or are kicked out of office.


So I ask the question again Where's the Anger? A nation where private firms make millions out of making people homeless, removing benefits from the disabled, unemployed and the low paid. Where if you steal a bottle of water you are imprisoned but if you defraud the nation of millions you get to retire on a multi million pound pension. Where politicians in the Houses of Parliaments can claim hundreds a month in food expenses but a mile down the road children visit food banks for a square meal. Where the poor and vulnerable are constantly attacked and vilified by people of inherited wealth who have never had a proper job in their lives  and the gulf between rich and poor grows ever wider but 'feckless' bond traders are allowed to bet and lose millions knowing that the losses will be covered by the taxpayer.

The politicians and bankers are revolting why aren't the people.



A Nation in Mourning.


Do you remember the day. I do. It was a typical summers day. Birds were singing. It was raining and blowing a gale. Seagulls were attacking people eating ice creams. Cameron was attacking welfare claimants. Bankers were stealing the nations wealth. And then I heard it announced on the radio. I could tell the announcer was trying desperately to hold back the tears. I myself dropped to my knees and in a cry of desperation screamed " Why Lord,Why,.... Oh the humanity". The news spread. Young girls wept openly. Men hid their tears but you could sense their pain. It was a day that would for ever be buried in the psyche of a nation. The Normandy Landings,The Battle of Britain,1966, 1066, VE Day, the Moon Landings and the day 'becks' wasn't selected for the GB Olympic Football Team. " Oh the humanity".


Obamacare


In the United States, the worlds richest nation, approximately 30 million people do not have access to healthcare. A law has been passed to remedy the situation. A good thing you would have thought. Apparently not, some Americans, predominantly Fascists, Republicans, want it repealed. Even the Fascist Republican Presidential Candidate, a man who apparently enjoyed sacking people for a living, wants to repeal it and is making it one of the main tenets of his manifesto. That's right, the United States of FDR, Mark Twain, Elvis, Abraham Lincoln,Jesse Owens,Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Jimmy Stewart, JFK, Rosa Parks, Henry Ford and The Beverly Hillbilly's. It would seem that America is a very large nation full of a lot of small minded, nasty,venal, stupid,stupid people.
