The media and that gang of Oxbridge/Winchester College prancing wealthy political ballerinas, keep bellowing about a "cost of living crisis", when the ordinary person on the street knows that it is an "exploitation crisis". We are supposed to accept our children go hungry, our elder shiver through the winter, if they make it, while the country is awash with billionaires, companies are recording record profits, CEO are being paid millions in remuneration and billions are being lavished on greedy worthless shareholders. We are meant to grin and bear it to help to keep inflation down, to help the economy to grow.
Well it is becoming blatantly obvious that the the one thing that is growing in this millionaires' paradise is the anger of the ordinary people. Day and daily people are taking to the streets, strikes are growing, that simmering anger is now a glowing flame. There is a realisation that we don't have to accept poverty at the whim of the billionaire class of parasites. We will not be poor to help the "economy", that capitalist gambling casino, spin a few more wheels. There is a determination that we will not be poor anymore. We create all the wealth, we demand and will take control of that wealth to be fairly distributed among all our people.
Here are some of the anger that is growing fast, we must all get behind those on strike, join them on the streets, show determination and solidarity. This is our fight for a decent life our kids and grand kids, to free them from the constant crisis of greed driven capitalism.
