Shafted!!


          If you are one of those who are still trying to work out who this government and system works for perhaps the following wee article will help you make up your mind.
         While the powers that be repeat their mantra that there is not enough money to pay NHS workers and others a decent wage, they can find plenty of money for propaganda for UK imperialism. Take Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, tax payers forked out £162 million of tax payers money for that pompous circus to please the parasite class. Then shortly after that we had the pomp to celebrate British imperialism with the circus coronation of Charles III costing the tax payer somewhere in the region of £100 million +. On the matter of this extortionate over the top lavish pomp and circus, Cabinet Officer minister Oliver Dowden had the audacity insisting the government and the king were 'mindful of ensuring that there is value for the taxpayer' and there will not be lavish or excess. So this is his idea of modest normality. All in all the The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) estimated that the addition of an extra Bank Holiday weekend would cost the Government £2.39 billion. Of course you have to factor in the cost of the massive security operation that these two circuses required in the eyes of our lords and masters.
No wonder they are laughing.

         Of course the parasite class are boasting about the fact that The British Beer and Pub Association estimates the coronation will generate an extra £120 million for pubs across the country with the hospitality industry also expecting a significant boost. So be happy, your money has helped the hospitality industry as it will gain immensely from you generosity.
       Away from the imperialist propaganda machine, other facts on who this system supports. While we all struggle to pay our bills and heat/fed our families, ASDA is consulting on cutting the wages of 7,000 workers, BT is paying off 55,000 workers and replacing them with AI.
      With a crumbling NHS, a decaying education system, a totally broken social service system, an increase in poverty and the an increase in the resulting mental illness, where in this jamboree of spending and job/wage cuts do you see anything that is for you benefit or well being? Enough is enough, we must support all workers taking strike action, their fight is our fight. We have to create that better society that is based on fairness, mutual aid, and freed from the profit motive that sees to the needs of all our people.
