Our World.

           There is a lot of rumblings about the aftermath of this covid19 pandemic, but one thing we can be sure of is that we the people will be expected to take the pain. Government support schemes have kept some businesses afloat by throwing billions of pounds at them, paying company wages etc.. All this was to try and ensure their economic system would survive and unrest among the public would be limited. However, government support schemes will be withdrawn and borrowers, individual as well as businesses will start to come up short on their loans. So far banks have been seen as supportive of all this and not being to ruthless with their customers. For how long will the banks be able to hold on to that helping hand posture.
       No matter how hard they may wish to be seen in the public eye as the supportive saviours of the system, crunch time will come. The time will arrive when companies go bust and all that borrowed money lavished on them has to be paid back. The survival of the banking system will make them completely ruthless. That mountain of debt the government has thrown at its corporate friends will be called in by the financial Mafia they borrowed it from. That’s when you and I come in. The conditions for that pay back will be dictated by the moguls who run the financial Mafia scheme. 

       First thing will be cut government spending so that they can use more tax payers money to service the debt, then sell public assets to raise cash to service the debt, that puts more of our wealth in the hands of the corporate world. That translates as the financial Mafia get all their cash that was thrown at the corporate world back in their coffers, but you and I will take the pain. It will be Austerity writ large and bold across the generations of the ordinary people. We have yet to recover from the previous corporate gambling crisis and we are now about to be hit harder this time round, all to save the precious economy of the pampered wealthy powerful few. 

      We have to ask ourselves, is it worth sacrificing the lives, health, welfare and potential of our children to preserve the well being of a privileged, pampered parasite class. You know there is a better way to distribute the wealth that we the ordinary people create. They need us, we don’t need them, we make and distribute everything, it’s our world, we just have to take control of the system for the benefit of all our people.

WE THE LABOURING MASSES.

We the people have, every brick laid,
have fed the world with sweat and spade,
every instrument played in every band
created by the skill of the craftsman's hand.
We made every truck and every load,
our toil our effort every winding road,
every ship that ever sailed the sea,
our power our imagination made it be.
Cities and towns large and small,
our labouring hands fashioned them all,
every home, every spire,
luxury mansion or humble byre.
No matter what dreams the mind might spawn
without labour's hand, never see the light of dawn,
without labour's strength and labour's skill,
we would be foraging beasts in a jungle still.
