Get Thee Behind Me, Satan...

 

We are, actually, pretty much buggered at present, aren't we? I hate the term 'ordinary people' with a vengeance, but I suppose there has to be some dividing line between the controllers and the controlled, so be it: ordinary people - the vast majority of humanity - are being shovelled into a grave-pit of their [the controller's] collective making, by the idiot and disconnected-from-reality rich, pure and simple. Poor people don't play politics; the Left doesn't play politics on behalf of those they represent. The Right plays politics at every turn, as it is all they know and do: the furtherance of their own pecuniary ends, whilst doing as little as possible in return for large, publicly funded salaries.

At every level, right-wing politics and its acolytes are so very, very wrong: their blind pursuit of wealth and power at all costs, wrapped in a cloak of equal opportunity, for fuck's sake; mindless, rootless economic ideologies that are so far outdated that they might as well have ossified in the Jurassic, let alone be in any way relevant in the modern era. These people are nasty. These people are wrong. These people have no place in modern society. And yet, these people continue to rule the roost and thrive. I reiterate my friend David's timeless and eternally wise question: "...do you understand fookin' w'kin'-class Tories? Well do you?" A wise man who would be well-heeded by some of those voters who turned against their own long-term interests in favour of a Tory party completely and utterly out of touch with 'ordinary' people.

There is no upward path, there is no common equity, there is no fairness, there is no levelling-up, there is no trickle-down, there is no fairness, there is no common polity, there is no democracy; whilst the Tories are in power. They need to be stopped. Finished. Ended. Gone. They have no remaining useful purpose for society. End of.
