As a political entity, the UK is broken. There is no trust. There is no faith. The natural supporters of each party @UKLabour and @Conservatives do not trust their own parliamentary party. The govt dont trust parliament. Parliament doesn't trust govt...
Neither trust the civil service or the judiciary, who in turn, feel that govt is undermining and attempting to sideline their roles in the power balance.
The people are increasingly fractured. #Brexit, #independence, #covid and increasing polarisation...
Between left and right all place pressure on a population that is increasingly being deprived of rights, of wealth, of benefits, of health.
Not everyone sees it but there is a priviledged cabal of elite politicians and capitalists that are transforming the nation...
...into a state of penury for their own benefit. The media is complicit in its lack of scrutiny and you don't need my word for that. The contract awards are out there for all to see. And that is our money, given in trust to our govt to see to our needs. That is the tax covenant
But this, like so much else is broken.
Our govt lies, lies about lying and then says it doesn't matter. They behave recklessly and face no consequence. They deceive, misdirect and mislead at will, no consequence. As a result the behaviour of the nation descends the same way...
We are broken. And we all are complicit. We as a nation gave this cabal the authority, the majority to do what it wishes. We enabled the uncivilising behaviour of govt depts towards the disabled, the ill and the jobless and allowed unchallenged the gutter headlines from the...
...likes of the Mail and the Sun. We as a nation prefer to remain ignorant and passive in our political discourse, in our democracy. We allow our opinions to be formed by rolling news headlines, and horseshit views from liberal establishment "commentators" we are lost...
Lost in a mire of agendas and lies and now because of covid a deep insecurity in the gatekeepers of the capitalist way. Because their way is proving fragile, 1 dimensional and inadequate. Their way does not know what to do. So they hide that, blame people, blame events...
Distract from their failings with lies, blame shifting, smoke and mirrors. And take advantage of our political system to bolster their own dying monster.

It is time to stop, to change.

It is time to say no to the savage imprisonment of the disabled,
...
No to the demonisation of the jobless in a system that fails them.

No to the destruction of democracy for the aggrandizement of the few.

No to the reliance on poverty to prop the stilts of capitalism.

No to the deliberate stirring of hatred to distract from govt failings
No to our money being given to the already rich. No to the abuse of the tax covenant.

The UK needs to change, in change it needs to wash away the stench of elitism, of privilege, of entitlement. Or it is doomed for the majority of us. Cos that top 1% will always be ok
Its me and you that won't be ok. So its time to force change. Or face being the new serfdom under the #newaristocracy. That is what they wish for. And as covid unpicks the capitalist joke for what it is, the more desperate they are to reinforce the narrative of their supremacy
Force a different way. A new way. A new thinking of fairness, equality and civilisation. A way that is kind to the planet, and all its inhabitants. A way that will actively end poverty, greed and excess.

A rant I didnt see coming, but there it is. Enjoy...
