Feudal Britain

I lay awake last night just thinking about where we are heading, and it’s rather disturbing. People in this country know surprisingly little about what’s going on in the world, they are just so easily distracted by such meaningless things like the royals. In a time of never ending austerity thanks in large part to the enormous bailout given to the bankers by the government via our tax money, the queen gets a £5m bonus and how expensive do you think all the royal events are- ASTRONOMICAL! Now where as in most European countries like Spain, the royalty have been getting a pay cut for some years now, Lizzy over here gets a pay rise, and for doing what? It’s outrageous I tell you and the fact that there is no outrage over here says a lot, people here are mere subjects not citizens they have no rights! How in the hell is this country better than the third world???

We are going to be suffering from austerity for an estimated 5 years!!  How the hell does that make any sense? We are suffering because of the fact that the powers that be thought it would be wise to deregulate everything and throw all the important things like public transport and utilities into private hands!! It’s good for the country. They bellowed from the great heights of not having to give a damm while the people are being continually screwed with hiked prices and poor service. It’s not as though people have a choice about where they can get the energy to warm their homes or how to get to work, all the major energy companies are in cohorts, so you can either get screwed by them or someone else, because at the end of the day the private businessmen don’t give a flying monkeys whether you’re satisfied, they just have their eyes squarely fixed on one thing- the bottom line, which is the profit margin!   

People may claim that Capitalism is the great evil of the world and that austerity should be scrapped, I tend to disagree, before you decide to publically flog me hear me out. True Capitalism is about competition and choice, what we have here is CRONY CAPITALISM. This is when the success of a business depends on their close relationship of government officials and business people.  If I’m not mistaken, isn’t that a major proponent in Fascism? Think about it! And austerity wouldn't be such a bad thing if it was aimed at the right people. Why do the people who have so little have to suffer so much? The private sector is getting hit the hardest; these are organisations that ACTUALLY help the public like: education, welfare and the NHS.

In the end this country is going to be full of idiots because they can’t afford to go to school or homeless, because they have no access to any help or worse, people are just going to start to die off because they have no access to medical assistance.  Oh what a wonderful world we live in and better yet, for future generations to live in.
