As a so called democracy, British voters have seen fit to maintain and regularly nourish a predatory ruling class, a parasitical monarchy, an ossified aristocracy that owns the place, a relic pantomime known as the 'House of Lords', a clearly divisive education system, rampant tax evasion coupled with grinding poverty and unemployment, a manipulating offshore elite which has provided our current PM, FPTP to lock down on it all down and, most recently, a fraudulent referendum. And we have the gall to blame Europe? Get real. Take back control? We never had any, long before neoliberalism became a meme.
As a result we're a bastion of preposterous pretension at one end and abysmal ignorance at the other. We're widely loathed wherever we go, fed on swill delivered daily by a tabloid press, whose idiocy and malevolence is clearly visible on news stands abroad. What makes you think anything different will happen this time?
Well, thanks to the Brexit pill, the truth about Britain is out there now for the world to see and we're a matched set with Trump's America. Not about to elicit much sympathy, I'm afraid. So far, no indication this election will do anything more than perpetuate the farce.
For a taste of what Johnson Brexitized Brits can expect, I suggest you take note of the way the millions of innocent Brits living in Europe have been treated, not to mention innocent Europeans living in Britain and those hapless folks from Grenfell Towers: with utter disdain and a complete disregard of basic rights, an endlessly complicit bureaucracy to make sure and a malicious intent to undermine the rule of law, such as it is. When he became Mayor of London first thing he did was buy 2 water cannons, what for? The new mayor sold them straight away.
Welcome in advance to Post Brexit Tory Britain. Rees-Mogg has said it all. Mr Mogg was named in the paradise papers as was the pig botherer D.Cameron (who's father got rich setting up tax avoidance schemes) who pushed us into this mess, then he ran away to some cushy number the grateful financiers had waiting.
Unregulated Capitalism is a cancer on this planet, as a caring human I say we must have social policies to help the victims of 9 yrs of Tory cuts, which we were told by the pig botherer would sort everything out in 5yrs, yeah right he got much richer. For me children must be fed, people need roofs over their heads, we need good education and the health care that our grandfathers demanded after WW2 (they did not want to go back to the rich first polices, while ordinary people did with out). I realise that this leaves me open to being called a communist, okay, fine by me I cannot sit quietly and let it all happen, I will continue to support charities to try and help those who are in need I have too, I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't.
